5310 - questions and suggestions

Hey everybody!
I bought a red 5310 last week and so far have been really happy with it. My previous phone was 5140, used it for a few years and was really happy with it...like I have been with all of my Nokia phones. Now I have a few questions regarding my new phone, these are more like me wondering if it can be done rather than something actually being wrong with the phone.
1) Is there any way to use the wallpapers from the Nokia media player (like Sine waves, Vivid burst etc) as the theme background image for the phone? Do I have to download a theme editor to modify an existing theme to use a different background image? Where/how can I get the media player wallpaper files? Any recommendations on the software required to do this?
2) Is there a way to make your phone connect to the internet via a pc? Yeah, the other way round =) I'm living abroad for some 5 more months and won't be having internet access for my phone (don't really need it for anything). Still there's a few things I'd like to try on it, so is there a way to relay my internet connection to the phone via Bluetooth or the usb cable?
3) Is there a way to modify the sound volume +/- steps? Basically when you come up one step from mute, it's already quite loud, there's no middle ground between mute and average listening volume. The steps after the first two are too loud for listening inside. I'm using Sony MDR-818E earphones. Since the phone's internal speaker is quite worthless and can't see anyone seriously listening to music with it, I feel the volume steps should be geared towards headphones and therefore the steps should be much more subtle. At the moment I'm often left feeling I would've wanted to set the volume between two steps. Yeah, Nokia, if any of your people are reading this, please take note! It's a software thing, options could easily be added! It's a music phone after all and should be optimized for maximum listening comfort as far as cellphones go =)
Anyway, so far I've listened to a couple of hours of music on it and the phone hasn't crashed or restarted or anything like that. Working perfectly fine. I'm using WMA audio 128kbps, as it's totally indistinguishable from the original cd source if you're not plugging in to some high end hi-fi equipment. Fortunately I've been ripping all my music into WMA since mp3-players held like 256mb and don't have to convert my files from MP3 for the phone =)
Thanks in advance for any answers =)

To leoruoskas 2nd Q.
Yes there is. If I got this right you want to download and upload data from and to your 5310 from the net. You can connect with a Bluetooth USB dongle, if your computer does not have any other bluetooth device. I bought my Prodige Bluetooth Dongle v2.0 from Verkkokauppa.com before I even got my phone. When BT is active the phone and the camera on the phone will be visible on the folder tree on your resourcemanager, if using WIN OS. The connection quality has been no less than good all times, when I've used my gismos.
There were some connection problems, when the previous version of Nokia PC Suite had only connections available by the type Nokia phones have or used to have. The radio buttons were on n/a state when trying to connect.
The never V 6.85 has configuration setup to manage other installed devices that can connect the phone and PC. You can also connect Audio gateway from the Bluetooth objects and listen the music on the phone with your PC or laptop. I have SPDIF sent to 6.1 DigiAmp and most High-Q MP3- and AAC-files sound almost as if they were orginals on a CD for that matter.

    Scott:
    My apologies for using a wrong thread to post new items. I hope you can now spare some time to look into these and provide insight.
    Regards!
    Erick
    Greetings colleagues!
    My message is not an answer to the above-referenced topic/subject. I want to bring in some more substance and see how our friends at Oracle Support--or other colleagues, can address them.
    But first let me thank Oracle support for the answer to my recent posting! Regrettably, that didn't much address my question fully. Maybe, I wasn't just more clear.
    I agree--please bear with me-with you that there might be limitations and there. Not only on this item, but to many other. These are all inherent to a new technology. I will try T list some, and suggest improvement whenever possible. Let's call these "improvement opportunities" instead of limitations/bugs.
    (1). My previous question. We are dealing with a relational database, and our requirements, I dare suspect, might be more than O HTML DB CAN, actually deliver? Suppose, again, I have 4 tables. PRODUCTS, VENDORS, PRESENTATIONS, PRESENTERS. Why these last 2 tables? Before any technology enters our corporate IS environment, it must be approved. It goes through a strict technology acquisition process. Vendors that are selected, say for the bid, must do presentations. At the end, the Technology Committee will make a decision (after doing a Technical Proof of Concept (TPOC).
    Now, we want to be able to list presenters and presentations for each product (whenever available). There are more than 1 presentation for a given product and there also situations where you have more than 1 presenters for a presentation.
    Can you generate this using a tabular form? I double. I tried, using the Wizard. You can only select 1 table when building this tabular form. However, you can get the SQL script using the SQL Command processor.
    (2). The dilemma: We want reports for presenters and presentations o be displayed on separate pages. Here is where it gets more tricky, maybe because I just stated with O HTML DB 2 months ago.
    My SUGGESTION to Oracle Developers: Can you make it possible to decide, when creating a region, to display it on a different page other than the one on which you generate the, say the report script? I think that depending on redirection creates confusion, and makes the tool less user-friendly. When you allow a developer to decide, at time of region creation to display the report on this page, or another page, you really create user-friendliness and increase application maintainability.
    (3). Buttons: Why has Oracle re-invented the wheel here? Is it possible, in the next release, to make it possible to have graphic insertion icons within a region (just like most tools we are used to do? This would save us a significant amount of time. Having to upload graphics 1 at a time, then include these in the app is time consuming (especially if one has many graphics).
    (4). How Tos: I do sincerely commend you guys on a fantastic job. However, we all (developers and Oracle Support team/Developers) must admit that the tool is still immature and there are many improvement opportunities. May I ask why is it that I crete a region now, code an SQL script. Everything works now. I backup the application. The next day, however, when I access the same app, what worked yesterday fails to work now! This has happened many times and it is pretty frustrating.
    The best books are those that provide good examples, but also show the result of each code (for instance). Many people learn faster when they look at a code, then see the result. Reading text like a history book, in the development context is taste-assassination.
    Do other experience this instability? If so, could you please share with me what you do? I suspect an application level "bug.
    Again, I know the product is new and really commend Oracle's team for a fantastic job.
    Tanks so very much in anticipation!

    1. Can someone make a resume application. In this day of unemployment you may never know who you bump into who is looking for a job or needs a job to be filled. This way you at least have your resume that they can take a quick look at and will remember you when you do give them a personal copy.
    You could just email yourself a PDF of the resume or use an app like AirSharing to store the resume on your phone.
    2. Can Apple make it so that when you sync your iPhone to iTunes you have the pages, as they are on your iPhone, on your home screen. That way it is MUCH easier to arrange your applications and when you sync again they will be arranged as you did on your computer.
    You're not speaking to Apple here. Send feedback - http://apple.com/feedback
    3. I am sure everyone has asked this question before but will SMS ever be able to a) recieve picture messages and b) type in landscape?
    You can already receive picture messages on the phone. All the sender needs to do is put your email address in the TO field of their MMS client.
    As far as landscape, send feedback through my previous link.
    4. Eventaully will we be able to print emails, SMS messages, etc from iPhone? We have a wireless printer so all you have to do is load it on your iPhone.
    Thanks to all who respond.

    I can use sess_sh with any user except sys to connect to
    database. When I used sys to login, I got the following error

    Is there any reason that sys can't be used with sess_sh?
    How can I create new namespace under root namespace?
    (Only sys has write privilege in the root namespace)
    Suggestion:
    If sess_sh can accept 'su' or 'connect' command, it will be a
    convenient way to become other user under sess_sh.

    This has been covered a couple of times already on the list.
    Basically this is a bug. You have changed the SYS password and
    the password file is no longer in synch with the actuall RDBMS
    password. The instance crashes when connecting now as sys via
    session shell. To fix it do the following:
    - change init.ora to use an Exclusive or None password file, eg
    remote_password_file=exclusive
    - restart the database
    - execute:
    alter user sys identified by <the-new-password>
    You can then go back to the way you were, this will force the
    password file to get it's value synchronized back with the RDBMS.
    This is fixed in 8.1.6.x (or so they say :)

  • NAS Question and Suggestions

    Current Configuration:
    iMac 2.8 Intel Core Duo running Lion OSX (yes I regret that)
    2 iOmega 4TB HD's (iTunes Libraries) connected to a 1TB Time Machine BU Drive which is directly connected to my iMac via FIREWIRE 800.
    One of my 4TB drives is already full and the other is over half way. I have started looking at other storage options since the 4TB drives seem to be the biggest for direct connection drives out there.
    I have read all the horror stories about NAS' and Lion so obviously I will wait a bit before I make the trasition but in the meantime:
    I know next to nothing about NAS' so...
    I remember reading an old article that mentioned restrictions on file sizes and naming conventions on NAS' - Is this true or am I not remembering things correctly? I have 6+GB files so this would be an issue.
    Current plan is to connect this via my Airport Extreme Base Station via Ethernet is that the best way to go?
    When the manufacturer says it can support 3GB drives does that ever go up without getting a new unit (i.e. if 5GB drives become common place) would that be something a software or firmware update could fix or is that something really limited by physical limitations like cooling capacity?
    Also read a lot of horror stories about drive compatabilites with NAS' is that still a common problem or have things become more standardized?
    Is there such a thing as too big of an NAS? I have been leaning towards the Lacie 5big Network 2  but am wondering it having one single larger NAS is a bad idea and instead going with a couple of smaller units.
    I read this post: Best NAS for mac? The Synology mentioned is curious but I don't bitorrent or any of that stuff so it seemed like a lot of stuff I really don't need plus the max size at 12GB isn't great I am not concerned about backups as I do that onto blu-ray discs.
    Any suggestions or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

    I think the Lacies are fine. 10TB or the 15TB model is more than enough in my case.
    Speaking from experience, have you looked at the QNAP 5 bays models or Synology 5 bays models? I generally stick with those 2 brands when it comes to NAS.

  • Some questions and suggestions concerning Zen Mi

    Hello everybody!!
    Firstly I'd like to say that I've already looked through all the knowledge base and web forum and unfortunately I haven't found out the answers for my doubts (sorry if there are these answers I couldn't find), so I'm here.
    . Is there any way Zen Micro could display polish diacritic marks (from id tags)?(e.g. polish "l" with line/accent is never displayed, "z" with dot/accent is shown up as square)
    2. You advise to plug AC adapter to Zen Micro first and then to the wall socket, so is it the same way I should do with usb cable? I mean, when I plug my ZM to the usb cable already connected to PC, it will be ok? So, is it any difference in usb connection order?
    3. Is it possible to include in new firmware more sensiti've FM radio, at least change 00 kHz step to 50 kHz step? On the air where I li've there are a dozen or so radio stations and I could find only a few of them :-/ (yes, I have read "How to improve FM Radio reception" in the knowledge base )
    4. Is it any possibility to reset the "play count" in Zen Micro? If no, maybe it will be in the new firmware? (it would be a great option)
    5. What's about the "look up artist" function? I think it doesn't work properly. It should return all albums of this artist, not only currently played!
    6. In the mp3 format (ID3 v2 tag) we can set our own genre name. Why doesn't Zen Micro show that?
    Thanks for all answers! Regards form Poland!
    p.s. sorry for my not very good english

    hi, sorry to disturb ya, but any ideas, solutions?
    btw: after a few weeks of using the Zen Micro, I come to a conclusion that the "The Zen Micro Power Loss (Battery Drain) issue" is very bothersome problem . Creative, if you can, please fix it.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • HT5622 I keep getting a pop up about signing into an Icloud account. It won't take the password. I tried to log in on pc and sign in and screwed up on my security questions and it's kicked me out.. how long til I can try again?

    I am in iphone **** or better icloud ****. When I try to go ointo settings on the phone a signin prompt pops up continuously with one apple id. I think i've made it that i have a separate icloud and apple id. I am trying to delete the icloud id. I made all the passwords the same so that there should be no problem but the phone won't still take the password. So when i went in again, looking to see if I could delete the icloud, i screwed up answering my security questions and am now unable to enter that icloud id. How long til I can again? Secondly, since the phone won't accept any password, I have tried to delete it. When I do that, it come up with a request for that same password to shut of the locator service. What the heck? I'm frustrated. I just can't get the hang of apple software and itunes seems to be just as bad for me.  Any suggestions appreciated ( aside from stomping on it, I've considered it). Tried to take the battery out but not for me, mere mortal, thought might reset. Got sim card out. Whooopeeee.

    It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

  • I've read similar questions and answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard. The only reason I want to is because I received an iPad which requires an updated system. I have an external hard drive. I have the disks to upgrade

    I've read similar questions and have studied the answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my macbook pro. The only reason for doing it is in order to sync my macbook pro with my iPad. I do have an external drive which automatically backs up every hour. BUT.......I am techno-ignorant as well as techno-paranoid. I have the disks to update to snow leopard but knowing doing so may likely change/alter/lose/obliterate my current set-up, it actually makes me feel sick to think of it.
    Years ago when updating via Apple Protection Plan tech support, my screen actually went blank, everything gone! The tech told me not to worry, that "we" would be able to restore things, but several hours later I was still looking at a primitive looking screen that wasn't anything like what I had before. His language was too technical, in that there was an assumption I understood things I had zero understanding of. Example: partition my external drive.
    Anyway, living hundreds of miles from an Apple service provider, and no Apple techs in my community, I had to wait for a trip to an Apple Store where one of the wonderful guys at the genius bar spent a ton of time getting things back to normal and actually explaining it enough that I had a vague understanding.
    So now I am in the predicament again and won't know what to do after installing the new disks and finding a likely mess or absence of documents etc. on my computer. I don't know how to access the external drive, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to move stuff from that to my computer.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm in the same boat as you, I've used Mac's since day one and neglected my Windows education and now it has come to haunt me as I have to learn it like a school kid.
    Nearly 99% of all businesses and nearly 95% of everyone use Windows, Steve Jobs declared "The desktop wars are over, Microsoft won" a long time ago.
    By 2015 tablets are going to be selling to consumers more than traditional computers, your living proof, you got a iPad.
    Apple has already discontinued the Xserver, the Xraid, the MacBooks and the 17" Macbook Pro.
    Apple has introduced BootCamp in OS X 10.6 and up, this allows a partition and drivers so one can install Windows on a Mac.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Why do you think they named it "BootCamp"
    You can't run a older OS X version longterm like you have with 10.5 anymore, Mac's are being targeted for attacks and older OS X versions are dropped for security updates.
    In fact your Mac might still be part of the 750,000 Mac strong Flashback botnet or infected.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_BackDoor.Flashback
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/04/how-to-check-forand-get-rid-ofa-mac-flashba ck-infection/
    See here, Apple has no security updates for 10.5 users and soon 10.6 is going to be ignored next.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1222
    1-1.5 years is the OS X upgrade cycle. Change everytime like it or not.
    So I'm thinking about your long term future and how you obviously don't like change, need local assistance like it appears you first claimed.
    So buy a new Mac and upgrade your OS X version whenever Apple shows it in AppStore.
    When your machine can no longer upgrade to the newest OS X version, then you've got about another 2 more years of security updates before you have to buy a new machine or risk running a insecure one.
    Learn here how to go about fixing your own machine and creating backups/bootable clones this way your not having to drive several hundred miles for a software or boot drive repair. Simply reverse clone your troubles away.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents
    I'm of the maturity and experience that I know a Mac isn't always the best solution for everyone and even Apple doesn't provide the proper hardware, support or features for everyone. Why only store locations in high traffic ritzy areas?
    Our SteveJobs fan here is under 18 years old with good eyes, he's not older like we are with bad or failing eyesight.
    The new Mac's  have hard to see glossy screens and the type/UI can't be scaled up easily to accomadate our older eyes, however a Windows 7 machine does allow up to 150% scale of the UI, type etc., and also there are anti-glare screen PC's and just about no more anti-glare screen Mac's.
    I wrote this User tip in case you have trouble seeing the screen, at least you can scale the web browsing up
    Web browsing for hard of seeing users
    Apple might still be selling the anti-glare 15" non-retina on their online store, it's the "high resolution/anti-glare model"
    But I can get a 17" 1080i HD anti-glare Windows 7 laptop at Sager for a lot more performance and screen size for the price than a Mac.
    https://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=category_browse&selected_cat=2
    Screen size is important as the UI and text can be scaled up for easier reading.
    Of course you do now have the option of having Windows pre-installed alongside OS X to begin your transition to the dark side.
    Just call and they will accomondate, hold the option/alt key at boot time to swtich operating systems.

    Windows 7 looks just as good as OS X, the secret is having a good monitor with most PC's come with don't.
    Good Luck and I hope I've given you a lot to think about.

    I’ve got a mid 2009 MacBook Pro.  Today, I updated to Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also updated Safari to 8.0.2.  Now, anytime I open Safari, it immediately quits and give me an error page that says, Safari unexpectedly quit and suggest that I can click on a Reopen button and restart it, but it just does it again.
    I read some of the questions and responses here and went to ~/Library/Safari and threw out the webpages.db file and emptied the trash and rebooted.
      No luck; same problem.
    BTW: Mail works
      Any ideas how to get around this?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • HT5312 i can not remember the answer to my security questions and it does not give me an option to have my answers sent to me. can someone help me with this?

    I am trying to log into my itunes and I put my apple id and password in and it wants me to answer the security questions and I know one of the answers but not the other.  and it does not give me an option to reset the questions or have them emailed to me.  Any suggestions?

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions; nobody on these boards can.

  • Skipping security questions and answers

    Since recently, my iPad (but also iTunes on my mac) asks me for security questions and answers when I try to download an app. How can I download apps without providing these questions and answers?

    Thanks Michael, so it is possible without security questions. Unfortunately, I find the 2-stage verification even more worrying. I've accepted the situation as is and have picked three questions and have entered random data as answers to them.
    To clarify my objections to these security questions:
    These questions provide no additional benefit. I can pick a question and answer truthfully, but these are generally things others could find out (especially in targetted attacks, where the attacker tends to already know a bit about the victim - does anyone remember how Paris Hilton's T-Mobile account got accessed by attackers who knew her dog's name? (yes, that is an especially stupid example, but it shows the problem with these kinds of "security measures"))
    Entering random data is already a lot better, however iTunes will simply show your (random) answer on screen instead of the regular dots you see when entering your password. Apple tells us to keep your passwords private and not share them with anyone (including family). If family is sitting next to you while you type your random data, they can easily read along.
    As it stands, these security questions impose another hurdle for the user, not the attacker. Hence my attempt to circumvent this approach. I have a strong password and I have implemented safeguards to prevent forgetting it. The security questions do not improve my situation, they are an attempt at improving the situation of people that take security less seriously. These are the same people that provide all the answers to these security questions on their facebook (or whatnot) for all the world to see. Pointless.
    (Note that the 2-stage verification is a better approach that solves the problems mentioned above. However, it comes with new downsides that I won't detail here as this is already way too long).
    Anyway, thanks to all that responded. I have to say, suggestions of moving to another vendor seem somewhat ridiculous. That also means purchasing new devices when all I want to do is use my device (the device I've grown used to) as I have for quite some time. And there is no guarantee that such a new environment does not have similar stupid security measures in place.

  • Upgrading questions and issues

    We are trying to move from Headstart version label of 18 in the current 6i repository. I think it is 6.5 or something like that. We are trying to move to Headstart version 6.5.3.2. We currently are using Headstart in our 6i Repository. To do this we have taken a RAU export from the 6i database (named ecsd) and imported into a new database (named repos1). The database repos1 is to be the 9i repository.
    It seems this repository has been through at least one version of Headstart before this. In the Edit workspace it says there is a version 1.0 excluded from the workarea.
    I am constrained to remove the older HeadStart objects by management. I cannot simply exclude the application from the workarea. Is this OK to do?
    When I follow the Installation Instructions for installing Headstart 6.5.3.0 I really am not finding a section that deals with upgrading a repository to a newer version of Headstart or removing a version of Headstart. Is there a document on this subject? Are there any words of advice for me?
    It seems to me that to references the newly installed Headstart objects what is required is to Edit Generator Preference then to set the Preference Set to the new Headstart which seems to be QMS65_RECOMMENDED. Is this correct?
    Thanks

    Solid work overall on Leopard but I have some Questions, Issues and Suggestions-
    Hi M,
    Leopard is two OSs ago; I think it's safe to say there will be no further changes to it.

  • Read CRM Survey question and answers

    Hi,
    I have a requirement, where-in I need to read the Survey question and answers.
    I am able to read the order data using CRMD_ORDER_READ and able to retrieve the xml id from the table CRM_SVY_DB_SVS. But unable to go further and retrieve the Survey data in text format.
    Any suggestion would be of great help and I promise to reward all the helpful answers.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shankar.

    Hi Shankar-san
    When I had a same inquiry, I used class 'cl_crm_svy_survey_texts' like below.
    data:
      imp_guid type CRMT_OBJECT_GUID
        v_valueg       TYPE crmd_survey-valueguid,
      i_surveyt       TYPE REF TO cl_crm_svy_survey_texts.
      SELECT SINGLE s~valueguid
       FROM  crmd_orderadm_h AS h
        JOIN crmd_link       AS l
         ON  hguid      = lguid_hi
        JOIN crmd_survey     AS s
         ON  lguid_set  = sset_guid
       INTO  v_valueg
       WHERE h~guid = imp_guid.
      CREATE OBJECT i_surveyt
        EXPORTING
          i_valueguid      = v_valueg
        EXCEPTIONS
          survey_not_found = 1
          values_not_found = 2
          OTHERS           = 3.
