Looks like you have some big trouble here. I'd recommend taking it to the service center as soon as possible.

 

the service center guys kept the phone for about a fortnight and still the problem persisted. when i went back to them, they said that there was nothing they could do as the phone was no longer under warranty.

 

I'd been having the same problem too.....

 

If the phone is no longer under warranty, you can pay to fix it. Can't you?

 

I don't mind paying as long as my cell gets back to normal, problem is it never gets 100% back to normal.....
And I do have a problem with paying repeatedly for the same problem....Afterall, I'm not Nokia's ATM machine.

You can see my thread here:

Hope it gets back normal this time, or seriously...... do you guys have any idea how to contact Nokia directly (not Nokia Care or any other customer support) ?

 

If it never comes back to normal after paying to fix it - it's simply not worth it. Maybe, time for a new device?

AFAIK, there is no way you can contact directly other than email, but that too goes to the customer care division who advice you to go to the nearest Nokia Care center.

From what I know, this particular model has had a lot of issues. A friend of mine had it and it was a nightmare. I'm not against Nokia, but not all their devices are good. Make sure you do a bit of research before you pick up your next phone.

 

In case, I do have to buy a new device, I guess, I know which brand to avoid....

Can you guys suggest something for both of us here. I'm sure anujchopra will consider buying a new phone too at a certain point of time..... Which phone would you have bought with features similar to Nokia 7210 Supernova (maybe with an added document reader too)? Not another Nokia, please....(And needless to say, I will give a thumbs up for a cell which will not burn a hole in my pocket )

 

The Samsung Galaxy Android phones are pretty good. They are cheap and I heard that they come in decent contracts in the US. anujchopra is an Indian, so I'd recommend he buys the Samsung Galaxy POP (same is available in the US under a different name).

Hmm... Interesting!!!! Thanks a ton, for your advice dude....
My phone is still at the service centre..... I will let you know the results when its back. Hope it gets back 100% ok .....
In case it doesn't, I hope you won't mind me asking you a few more questions...

 

Don't mind at all. I'm here to help you.

 

Guys! The procedure is calling flashing and I believe in my case it was Dead Phone Flashing....

Google it, follow the procedures and flash your phone at home..... I did it and its running ok for 10 days already

Happy Flashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, don't ever think of buying another Nokia phone.... Say "NO" to Nokia!!!!!

 

Sir my phone software is corrupted and phone not start for even 5-6 seconds....so can u help me.....
How to format my phone using any other software instead of Nokia software updater

 

Hello fasteraman!!! Welcome to TSG!!!

As I said before, the procedure is called Dead Phone Flashing....
I'd suggest googling it... I'm sure the procedure is somewhere there coz I used it myself!! But oddly, I can't find anymore

As far as I remember, you'll be needing your phone firmware and Phoenix service suite...
