My nokia n8 working only offline mode .not orking in genral mode how to repar

maybe check ur sim slot or try ur sim to other phone if is no signal ur problems its in sim if not at same try to hard format ur n8

If you're unfortunate enough to encounter a problem on your Nokia N8, a hard reset maybe what you need to do. This wipes the entire phone memory and settings fresh to how it was (or should be) when you bought it. It's also useful if you're also unfortunate enough to have to send away your Nokia N8 for repair or exchange, or maybe in future you maybe selling it and don't want your information/details/media stored onto your device for someone else to access.
Hopefully unlike the N97, the N8 will not encounter hard-reset bugs where we constantly have to hard reset.
To hard reset the Nokia N8:
1) Turn off your phone
2) Hold "Volume Down + Camera Key + Menu Key" and press power button until your phone vibrates.
3) Wait until screen show properly... and welcome back!!hard_reset_n8.jpg

Nokia N8 problem. When making and receiving calls the screen go blank if in sun or when your hand is in front. when it is ringing and you pick it up its goes blank you cant see who is calling, it only...

You don't have to worry about this, actually there is a sensor in Nokia N8 which senses the heat of your body so that when your ear is touched with your phone during a phone call, the screen is automatically locked so that no button is touched or clicked accidently when your phone is touched with your ear; it is just due to the sensitivity of the touchscreen display.
