  3. Nokia E6-00 Problems with start up and whatsapp

    I found the solution

    First before starting backup all data on your phone (contact – messages – photos – videos – audio files - ……).

    We will start format the E6 by dialing this code *#7370# it will take mints.

    Your E6 will restart.

    Steps:

    • Ignore all phone request in setup like setup your mail account.
    • Run ovi.
    • Make sure that your username is not writing in username text box – Note: if you find your user name is writing repeat the above steps.
    • Login with your ovi account.
    • Search about whatsapp and download and install.
    • Test all whatsapp and E6 problem.
    • Install mail account and all other applications.

    WhatsApp not starting

    No Whatsapp Mic

    W10
    Whatsapp text works fine but I can't get audio out to work.
    Have been through all the "how to" help and can't find a microphone to turn on for Whatsapp.

    Thank you.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Ok, let's try another approach.
    This is a new ASUS laptop and I am new to W10.

    It is not just Whatsapp; I cant get the microphone to work on other apps either.
    I've been through all the steps with privacy, camera, connecting apps and I guess a few others.
    There must be some simple enable step I'm missing.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Well, persistence does pay off. I followed some instructions to check for needed driver updates with My Asus and yes, there were newer versions for audio and camera.
    I installed them and all is well.
    Funny thing is checking in Device Manager I was told I had the latest of everything.
    So I learned something new this evening.
