Weird (Nokia E71x)

Not a big deal but when the phone goes in standby mode, they keyboard flashes a light every about 10 seconds. I guess it's a good idea when it's in a dark location it would be easier to locate, but i'm not 60+ years old/losing my sight (Lol, I apologize to any senior citizens.) Anyway to get rid of that? I ask because battery conservation is at the up most importance, although battery seems to be tremendous (In a good way.) Anybody?

That is referred to as the breathing light. It is just to let you know that the phone is turned on. I have a standard E71 here.. so long as AT&T didn't jack up the menu structure you would go here to turn it off:

Menu - Tools - Profiles

Select Normal

Click on it and select Customize

Scroll down to Breathing Light and turn it off.


Now on regular E71's this disables the breathing light.. but it now activates a clock on LCD screen. This does not turn the backlight on though.

I just picked an E71x up to and I thought you could use the volume rocker and select button in between for other things than just volume? 😕

Thanks for the reply... E71x doesn't have a breathing light option/anything similar under profiles... Again, not a huge ordeal but thanks for the help anyway.

For some reason my phonebook names aren't coming up when I have an incoming call... It just says the number and for the most part I don't know them by heart so I am scared to answer it incase it's someone I'd rather not speak to (Aka the boss.)

Weird, because I had all my phone book names twice (For phone and sim memory) it wouldn't tell me the name of who's calling. Once I kept my phone book with just the sim memory it worked. You're probably asking yourself why would I have copies... Because in case something happens to either the phone or sim I wouldn't lose my numbers.

So, you exchanged your Bold? How do you like it? Is it better?

I only had the bold for a week late last year... I didn't mind the bold (Good phone) but the battery seemed like it drained fast (Maybe a manu. defect.) The thing is I didn't use the web as much as I thought I would so the data plan was a waste... Recently I found myself desiring the web again and I was eligible for an upgrade so I went with the E71x. Great phone, battery is sick! Just takes a little getting use to the different OS. Like the fact that it's slim as well.

The notification light I like so I know when I have a missed something. Again, not a big deal in terms of killing the battery... Lol, I guess it just spoked me out when it's late and dark at night.
