Some Nokia N70 users have had issues regarding the phone either not vibrating or playing only the default Nokia tone. Nokia recently released a patch in sis format to hopefully fix this issue.
via Nokia's website:
Sometimes your phone might not ring or vibrate when a call is received. There are a few reasons why this might occur:
- If you have deleted your ring tone file or changed your MMC
card, the phone may not be able to find the ring tone file and
therefore cannot play it. Please ensure that your selected ring tone
file still exists on the phone or the MMC card.
- Complex ring tones (MIDI, AAC, MP3 or WAV files) can sometimes take
a long time to load and play. Occasionally when this happens the phone
uses a default ring tone setting which may be missing. To ensure this
default ring tone is present you can download this patch file and then
transfer and install it on your phone. This patch is recommended even
if you have not experienced any problem with the ring tone. If your
phone shows a security notification when you are installing the file,
please ignore it and continue with the installation.
The patch can be downloaded here however, it's also been reported that on some devices the patch doesn't work.
Symbian Freak has reported that there will be a firmware update available soon at Nokia Service Centers and Service Points that could also fix the issue.
Thanks a lot for this site! ;-)
