Hard reset your phone

nokia e75 qwerty phone 150x150 Hard reset your phoneIf you have problems with your phone, errors that do not seem to go away then maybe it is time for a hard reset. Before you do that remember to backup all your data.

When hard resetting your E75 you will loose all your data that is stored on your internal memory. Maybe that is why Nokia still makes such low memories. But, that is another topic for another post. The Nokia E75 has been known to have problems with bluetooth. But, at least it has bluetooth ( a sucker-punch for iPhone users).

As I found from personal experience, hard resetting might fix a lot of incompatibility issues and also frees a lot of your memory. For the E75 might just fix your faulty connection , so you might take that into consideration. Despite some of you might think, hard reset is different than soft reset. A soft reset is easy, it just restores the phone to its initial state, the one you bought it like. A state that may have some data, predefined by the seller.

However, hard reset restores your phone to its basic settings. The one that Nokia made for your phone, or for that version of Symbian. Hard reset is a great tool for your E75. Especially, if you just updated your phone and some of the features stopped working or it is working very slow.

Furthermore, after an important update I recommend to hard reset. Why do I say that? Well, just like you I own a Nokia phone and I updated (two to be more precise). And, after a few updates the phone became leggy and my apps crashed on me. Plus, my internal memory was at an all time low, although I used my memory card to store everything. So I decided it was time for a hard reset.

After, the hard reset the phone had a lot of memory free and the speed was excellent. It just took like half a second to access menu and navigation was very fast. My apps started acting normal, although I had to reinstall most. Nokia makes great phones but sloppy software. So, guys and girls keep in mind that from time to time a hard reset might do a lot of good. Think of it as a clean slate, for your E75, a new beginning.

To conclude, I would like to remind you to play safe and backup your data. Also, I think it is abouy time to tell you how to do the hard reset. Just enter *#7370# and press Yes, for soft reset *#7380# and if your phone wown’t power on Power+*+3.

    I found there’s something not so good – I was one week outside my country, visiting Budapest, Hungary and internet in roaming is quite expensive! I tried to use my E75 Maps without connecting to the internet but it simply didn’t work.
    So in the end I saved my hotel location just to use in case of emergency. Of course in a tourist city like Budapest it’s easy to get around (almost all speak English) but it made me think of the ‘Nokia maps system’ – before going there I did the download of the map, payed for one month license (good point, having the possibility of just one month) and then was frustrated.

    This comment was supposed to go to ‘Mobile GPS vs GPS Device’ sorry!

    Manuel I was not talking about Nokia Maps. Right now Nokia Maps sucks. Try Garmin Mobile XT. A-GPS is best if you need to be more accurate but you can try to use nearby Wi-Fi hotspots or see if you can buy an internet card for a few dollars. In my country a local telecom provider had this service. Plus my post was about general connection not roaming. Also Garmin hardly uses your internet connection, only for the initial pinpoint.

    I have a dual sim cards Nokia e75 cell phone but when all two sim cards are inserted either both don’t work or just one doesn’t (requesting that I insert sim cards while they are already inserted or displaying the “Emergency” message) although the cell phone is set on the dual sim mode. But when I insert any of them in another cell phone they work. And that is the evidence that these sim cards are in good condition. The cell phone was working normally, these two sim cards working independently for about a year and suddenly this malfunction occurred. Could you please provide any solution?
