I would first try a soft reset on your phone. This will keep your contacts, calendar and the like. The only thing you will loose are any profile settings and the like. Do a star pound 7780 pound from the standby screen. Answer yes to the question about restoring phone defaults. Then enter the lock code. If you have not changed it, it is 12345 followed by the ok. Probably will not help but worth a try.

Hardware eventually fails, software eventually works No amount of bandwidth can fix poor design -original message- Subject: [Talks] Major problem with N-82 From: "Brian J Hubbard" <[email protected]> Date: 07/10/2010 7:42 AM Dear Talks list, I am having a serious issue and this message will be long, so please bear with me. I have been a Talks user since April '09, it being installed in my Nokia N-82 <along with a KNFB Reader>. Although I never mastered the Reader, I was using the cell phone with much success, especially for my practice as a psychotherapist, which is required for emrgencies, being a liability issue. I also did quite a bit of texting. The problem began around mid September. While visiting a friend, I, for first time, decided to use headphones, rathr than regular receiver, as talking/texting was intefering with my friend's listening on her land line. Ever since removing headphone from jack, I had intermittent problems with getting voice to come through regular receiver despite doing everything, as guided by my technical troubleshooter, including making sure that enhancements were on headset default in the Settings menu. Typically, I could not get the voice to come through the receiver except in unpredictable, random pushing of various volume switches, including the rocker volume switch on the side and the 'left-right' arrow keys on th navigator key. Today, I can get nothing to come through receiver, no mattre what I do. I found out two days ago that the problem was most likely by using a headphone with its own power source <Bose>, which anothr tekkie found on the manual not to use such a headphone as it may cause damage to phone. Thus, while I am asking for any remote possibilities for suggestions, it appears that I will be searching for a new cell phone to re install Talks and KNFB software. Here is my significant issue on top of all of this: I am hearing challenged, now having bilateral cochlear implantation. I now use two speech processers with the implants <th behind-the-ear devices that resemble hearing aids> that include telephone-coils, or t-coils. For those whom don't know, t-coils, used for many years on hearing aids, but relatively new with speech processers for implants, are switches that cut off the external microphone that pick up sound through air, and convert to an electro-magnetic transmission of sound coming through a source such as telephone, headphones or VR Reader, anything held to the ear and has a compatible t-coil unit within it for t-coil compatibility, that cuts, repeat, cuts off background noise <greatest nemesis for hearing challenged> so user can communicate and/or listen much more effectively, and, in my case, safely e.g. such as trying to make transportation arrangements while on a noisy environment such as a busy athletic club. I have been exploring other cell phones for consideration. an iPhone 4 has been suggested, but I understand it has a 'touch screen' instead of tactile keyboard? In consideration of needing the best quality sound coming through receivr and is user friendly with qwerti keyboard for someone with hearing issues and lives alone and is a professional with liability issues for emotionally challenged clients, can anyonw provide recommendations for best phone to get that is TAlks and KNFB compatible? Thanks so much for any consideration and, again, sorry this is long, but really wanted to be crystal clear in describing my situation. Best, Brian Hubbard, LICSW www.EmpowermentTherapy.com PS I am also enclosing a message I wrote earlier to my local technical support team for your interest/understanding. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian J Hubbard To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 8:11 AM Subject: N-82 Update Dear Jane, Gloria, Arthur, Gayle, Graciela and Rob, Well, I wanted to update. Matters are worse. This morning, Nokia N-82 is in worse shape now that nothing coming through receiver, even aftr frantic attempts to push various buttons, especially volume buttons <which made sound come through before>. I can't get anything to come through receiver. Furthrmore, and I didn't mention this before as it seemed relatively insignificant in the angst state of just trying to get sound of receiver of cell phone, the home page screen is all screwed up. Before, when the home or 'today' screen came on, it would announce 'key one, Reader ... key two, calendar', but now it announces 'key one messaging ... key two maps'. As I have no clue how to refigure the icons, and it being irrelevent with my greatest need, I haven't even attempted to deal with this. I do not want to go back to Nokia Customer Care as they are totally unfamiliar with th software for Talks <screen reading> and KNFB <camera>, so my pessism in dealing with someone I can't even understand <because of foreign accents> is hundred fold. Gayle, in your message, you mentioned that that the iPhone 4 is as good as the iPhone 3, but did you mean the opposite, the version 3 being as good as 4?Usually a later version is compared to an earlier one for comparative evaluation. In any event, as noted by Eva , Audiologist, UMass/Worcester, she said the 4 is basically only one compatible with t-coils for speech processers in cochlear implants for those with hearing challenges. Also, does the iPhone have a touch screen instead of qwerti keyboard? While it is flattering and cool to have phone that many sighted users use, you mentioned needing sighted help; where I live alone and not much sighted help at my immediate side, wondering if this would be a negative. I am going to send out a message to a Talks users group, which discusses the various phones to see which would be best to also accommodate for hearing issues as well as user friendliness. Thanks to all and still welcoming feedback, especially the promptest way to proceed, as I am lost without cell phone, first time it has been disabled going back ten years <including my old fashioned, non-accommodating Motorola>. It is crucial for my practice and functioning. Brian Brian J.
