Nokia E71 speaker help

[Tjw85]

Thought this may be worth a try. Anyone got any ideas how to unmute a Nokia E71 music player. The up and down buttons on the side seem to be doing nothing and there appears to be no obvious way of fixing it. Also phone calls through the speaker is the same situation.

Hmmm. Not sure what you've done there; just tried it on my E71x, can't find a way to prevent the buttons from working!

Off the wall suggestion - it isn't paired/twinned with another device and trying to play back through that?

[Tjw85]

You're on the ball! It was paired via bluetooth to a device to play around the time it went wrong. It is no longer paired though but i'm still having issues

[jimmyjimjim]

Delete the paired device in bluetooth settings and reboot? Or pair it up again, then unpair(if that is even a word) it again? Worth a try.

I take it you've re-started it? Mine's been doing some real funnies recently and the only way to get it 'right' has been to take the battery out.

It's an odd one! I did all of the above, got my sound back and when you leave the music player running and go back to the home screen it automatically mutes it and you then have to restart everything again.

Sounds like an O/S issue; just tried that on mine, norra problem. E71x runs a different service pack IIRC; might be worth seeing if you can update it somehow.

Spookily I had a text yesterday which announced a new firmware upgrade - could be worth a try?
