My Nokia N86 is ok – I’ve had it a few months – since it was released in the Summer I think. However, it has developed an annoying fault in that the photos screen keeps coming up when you put the phone down – I assume that it thinks the shutter is open so the sensor is playing up. I wouldn’t mind but despite it being 8MP the photos aren’t much good unless it is a bright days outside. Indoor and slightly gloomy photos are hopeless – always blurred.
I bought the Nokia as I normally buy NOkia and didn’t want to follow the crown with an Iphone – now I understand there is a reason why people are buying the Iphone – it is better…
I do use most of the functions on it though – Sat Nav, Email, Photos, as a phone!, MP3 player as it plugs into the car…
The problem is caused by the N86 Kickstand.
If the phone thinks the Kickstand is open, it will load the Photos application by default.
You can turn it off in Tools > Settings > Personalisation > Kickstand.
You might also find there's dust built up inside the Kickstand, so clear that out with a brush and problem solved!
Hope this helps. I found your post through Google while looking for a solution, and resolved it myself.
That's brilliant – cleaned it out and it is sorted now.
Only problem I have now is that I cannot get the USB to work at all to sync music and things and can only just get it charging up via the mains – used to do it by the USB. Hope it will limp along until January when I can get a new phone…
Thanks for the advice though
