    Hi, newly registered users need to wait 24 hours before they can start creating new posts/discussions. This is a part of the spam prevention setup of the forum. Once you complete 24 hours, you will be upgraded to "Rank 2" with 2 stars next to your username. After that you can create posts normally.

    Thank you. Found that out finally. Took me forever to find that from very very deep of these discussions.

    One of the stupidest and worst things I have heard on any forum ever. I have ideas and points now, they don't want to wait for 24 hours. Or at least say it at the registering dont hide it deeeeeeeeep nto the forums.......

    You'll have up wait 24 hours after signing up before you can post new discussions on the forums.

  • Does Nokia gives warranty on earphone wh-301 available on their store?

  • That only changes the DISPLAY NAME, not the User nAME. How can I delete my account and start over again?

  • The username can't be changed, you can only change Display Name now.

  • I came across this thread and your saw that you had a similar issue. Thank you so much for suggesting a solution to the problem website. This really helped me. I will keep reaching back on this forum to have my queries resolved. Thanks once again.

  • Update your own profile

    1. Open your device's Settings app.
    2. Tap System. Multiple users. If you can't find this setting, try searching your Settings app for users .
    3. Tap your name. To change your profile name, enter a new name and then tap OK.


    Hope it helps

  • Hi, I have the same problem...impossible to start a thread...

  • It's unfortunate I wasn't aware of that sooner. 😂

    1. Log In to Your Account:
    2. Visit the Nokia Community forum website and log in using your current username and password.
    3. Access Your Profile:
    4. Once logged in, navigate to your profile. You can usually find this by clicking on your profile picture or your username, which might be located at the top right corner of the page.
    5. Edit Profile:
    6. Within your profile, look for an option like "Edit Profile" or "Edit Account Settings." This is where you can update various details related to your account.
    7. Change Username:
    8. In the account settings or profile editing section, there should be an option to change your username. This might be labeled as "Username," "Display Name," or something similar.
    9. Choose a New Username:
    10. Enter the new username you want to use. Be sure to check if the new username is available, as some platforms might require unique usernames.
    11. Save Changes:
    12. After entering the new username, there should be a "Save" or "Update" button at the bottom of the page. Click on this button to save your changes.
    13. Confirmation:
    14. Depending on the platform, you might receive a confirmation message that your username has been successfully updated. In some cases, you might need to enter your password again for security purposes.
    15. Verify the Change:
    16. Log out of your account and log back in using the new username to make sure the change has taken effect.


  • Doesn't work for me.

    I go to Account & Privacy Settings and there's a Username (which is an email without the domain name part) with a pencil by it, but if I hover over the pencil it says I don't have permission to edit my username. (To avoid revealing my gmail address, I've created a throwaway email on a different email service to post this.)

    I'm based in the UK; possibly users in other countries can edit their username (or even their display name if such a thing still exists--that's not shown at all for me).
