My music player has suddenly stopped playing through the phone speaker and also through headphones. One day I was trying to increase the volume, which was quite low at the time. It would not increase and then the sound stopped completely. I am wondering whether the volume control is physically broken as it was always quite reluctant to respond and needed considerable pressure. We have tried squirting a small amount of switch cleaner into it in case there is a dirty contact. My wife says that the message 'muted' appears when we press the up or down commands. I know how to unmute TALKS, but don't know of any unmuting option for the music player. Can anyone suggest a software solution or is it likely to be a physical breakdown requiring a repair? Any help would be much appreciated.
Best wishes, Brian. -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 05 February 2011 16:46 To: Talks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Talks] New Nokia C5 Hi John, not Stephen but just to share my experience. I am wondering if it was my earlier comment which prompted Stephen to ask about Branded or unbranded. Mine is a Vodafone C5 and therefore branded. My firmwqare version is the same as yours! I tried Talks Premium on mine as I was going to try it for the 10 day demo and then purchase as I have other handsets with Talks Premium. However I was having problems in that I could not access Profiles as I kept being thrown back to the standby screen. When I tried to make a call the phone just turned off and back on again! there was nothing for it but to take it in to Vodafone as it was a Vodafone, i.e. branded phone and have them put Talks Standard on it for me. I collected the phone yesterday and now there is no problem so they obviously sorted this error. I can at least upgrade it to Talks Premium if I feel so inclined.

Here are some details: Nokia C5 Code 059b6q7 - I could find nothing about it being branded via google. Firmware version 32.010 - which I have now re-installed. Seems to be the current version. Talks 5.01 - latest version ETI Eloquence V123- have tried both the US and UK versions. Have also tried the Nokia TTS which is installed on the phone. It does not seem to matter which speech engine I use, The speech crashes after a few second of navigating the phone menu. Once it has crashed there is no indication on the phone screen about that crash. Any help will be appreciated.

A unlocked phone just means it can be used on any GSM cell provider. A unbranded phone means it has the default Nokia firmware without any cell provider customizing. What you can do is to have someone read the product code in the battery compartment and make note of the first 7 digits of it. It will start with 05. Then when you get this product code! You can do a search on it through google to see what you can find out about that product code. This is probably the easyest way to find out of the phone is branded to a cell provider or not.

I, clearly, agree with your analysis of the software on the phone. I did not buy the phone from a phone service supplier. I bought the phone from a UK electronics supplier as an unlocked phone. I am not clear if that is the same as unbranded.

It also sounds like you have the latest firmware on your phone. It could be you have a branded phone from a cell provider? Because I know many people who have the C5 and do not have any issues like that. Signed: Stephen Giggar Skype: dr-phone. Hardware eventually fails, software eventually works.

Today I installed Talks Premium 5.01 on it with ETI 123. I have registered the phone for a 10 day demo licence. Talks seems to crash on a frequent basis, long before anything of use can be done. For example, I booted the phone up and went into the Talks control panel to change speeds etc. Once a got out of that it crashed. It does not seem to matter what I do, it crashes. I have used the Nokia software updater to check for software. As you may well all know, the Nokia PC software is not of good accessible quality. It did ask me if I wanted to re-install. I take this to mean that I have the current software on the phone. Any clues on how to make this phone work with Talks please?
