Q: How do I close an application that is not responding?

A: Press and hold the menu key. Select and hold the application icon, and select

Exit.

Q: Why do images look smudgy?

Q: Why do missing, discoloured, or bright dots appear on the screen

every time I switch on my device?

A: This is a characteristic of this type of display. Some displays may contain pixels

or dots that remain on or off. This is normal, not a fault.

Q: Why can't my Nokia device establish a GPS connection?

A: Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several

minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in a vehicle may take longer. If you are

indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal. If you are outdoors, move to a more

open space. Ensure that your hand does not cover the GPS antenna of your device.

If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected. Some

vehicles have tinted (athermic) windows, which may block the satellite signals.

Q: Why can’t I find my friend’s device while using Bluetooth

connectivity?

A: Check that both devices are compatible, have activated Bluetooth connectivity,

and are not in hidden mode. Check also that the distance between the two devices

is not over 10 metres (33 feet) and that there are no walls or other obstructions

between the devices.

Q: Why can’t I end a Bluetooth connection?

A: If another device is connected to your device, you can end the connection from

the other device or deactivate Bluetooth connectivity in your device. Select Menu >

Settings and Connectivity > Bluetooth > Bluetooth > Off.
