Absence of IM app and widget on N8

Hello!
Can anyone from Nokia, please, tell me why there is no chat application on my Nokia N8. At the product page (at least in Finland) it is written, that in selected markets there is a chat application available for the most popular instant messaging protocols. I have seen some reports of early devices with this application but apparently it was removed from latter firmware versions. I haven't found any clues abou why this application is withdrawn from the release firmwares from any forums (including this one) or articles for any markets.
Is the chat application/widget under development and will it be released any time soon? I have seen Nokia's video from Nokia World 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN-4hUGYcOw) where the IM application and widget are demoed. That application was one very important reason among the others why I bought my N8. Could someone clarify this situation?
-Almost happy N8 owner
P.S. I am well aware of the third party alternatives but I'm not interested in them in this post.
Solved!

What Happens To the IM for Nokia N8?
I also saw the video before I bought my N8. That contributed to buy it.
In Venezuela I could see Nokia employees with active IM.
They themselves told me that the PR 1.1 would be active!
What happens? Even when the deception?
First with my N97 that would be awesome and it was a big disappointment.
Now also with the N8. That I will not buy more Nokia phones?
I remember one that launched Nokia N95 and was only a success! Today is not the same.

  • Difference between app and widget?

    what's a widget and is it different from an app???? also....PLEASE tell me i can uninstall some of the apps that came loaded on the incredible (ie facebook). i know i can't get rid of city id.....but what about fb and twitter???

    A widget is a small app which is typically used to display information on screen. An application itself is usually a more detailed view of that information and gives more options for interacting with the program itself. Widgets use less memory in most cases, while applications use more. You can't uninstall FB or twitter if they are the original apps in the phone when purchased, well not from the factory install. You can elect not to add in your login information, and then it will not use resources to access them. I use Bloo for facebook on my phone and I use twitters twitter app. I use FBChat to chat on facebook, which is AWESOME!! Hope that helps. To uninstall apps that were included with your phone you would have to reinstall the phones android operating system. There are many possibilities of what can happen and bricking(breaking) your phone is possible if done incorrectly. Verizon forums don't support or endorse these options. Check XDA forums to find other options if it is important for you, but you may fix your problme by not including your facebook or twitter account info so the phone just won't use them and they won't take up any more resources of the phone. Space yes, but not processing power.

  • My phone is so slow won't download any apps and data is not working correctly

    I have the moto e with straight talk

    Hi
    This is not a Firefox thing, but there are some general housekeeping activities you can do to make your telephone run much easier.
    First of all, uninstall any apps and widgets you do not need. It is amazing how they can clutter up your phone! In the app drawer, long press on an app or widget and drag it to the uninstall option at the top of the screen.
    So you have a sizeable SD card in your phone? If so, in Settings app , scroll down to Storage and tap "Move media". As it says on the menu, this will move your media files to your memory card, thus freeing up space on your phone.
    Before you leave Storage, scroll up a little and tap on "Cached Data" and selected to clear the cached data.
    In Settings>Apps, scroll across to "On SD Card" and tick a few boxes to move some of your apps to your memory card. (Note: With some apps, this may mean that any accompanying widgets will not work, this is a bug with Android).
    Once finished, turn off your phone and turn it back on again and you should find your phone has quite a bit more space and is running a bit quicker.

  • Weird Application showing up in App Update widget

    When I run the app update widget I see this weird applications. It's been there for a while, but I'm now getting worried that I can't find out what it is.. latest updates of all widgets and software.
    I looks like ['maikon] but the i is an uppercase special character.
    Anyone else getting this?

  • IOS App List Widget disappeared

    The iOS App List Widget we created 2 days ago has disappeared from 2 of our landing pages.
    How do we fix it?
    The embedded code is still present, but the widget does not show...
    The widget was created at this URL: http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/builder/?uo=8&at=11l6XQ
    The code is as follows:
    <iframe src="http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/widget.html?c=us&brc=FFFFFF&blc=FFFFFF&trc=FFFFF F&tlc=FFFFFF&d=Click on any of the apps to download directly from the App Store.&t=MASTER iPad® Must Have Apps&m=software&e=software,iPadSoftware&w=250&h=370&ids=373311049,576717926,281 796108,477967083,348780264,427176770,358801284,528408291,333710667,327630330,284 815942,418987775,897824086,284993459,490505997,498151501,743974925,390073215,557 879891,427424432,578979413,868326899&wt=playlist&partnerId=&affiliate_id=&at=11l 6XQ&ct=" frameborder=0 style="overflow-x:hidden;overflow-y:hidden;width:250px;height: 370px;border:0px"></iframe>
    Also, how do we modify the widget without having to recreate it using the code?
    Appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

    Laptops and desktops cost between 8 and $30 per year in electrical usage; iPads cost less than $3 per year.
    Even if you do not reduce the number of laptops and desktops right away, they will last longer and not require as much support because they will be used less due to the iPad being used instead.
    iPads are a form of computer.
    Basic apps (all but first two free) - grades 5 and up QuickOffice (or iWorks apps), TED, Docscan, Skitch, Showme, Prezi, My Big Campus, DropBox, Edmodo, iBooks, iTunes U, Google Earth, Evernote, Qrafter, Adobe Photoshop, etc..

  • Can I do a reinstall but keep apps and XP (bootcamp)?l

    Hello, I'm selling my MacBook to a freind and I need to "wipe" clean my info., documents, ect...but I would like to let him keep apps like Celtx, NeoOffice, and widgets. Also I have XP running via bootcamp and would like to pass that to him. Is there an easy way to just erase my personal stuff and leave the apps and XP there? Or am I dreaming?
    Thank you
    MacBook 2.00 2gb black   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The only way to truly wipe the drive along with the XP partition via Boot Camp along with any personal stuff there is to reformat the drive which is preferable IMO since this will make the Mac truly your friend's Mac and ensure all of your personal data is removed.
    After re-installing OS X, you can shut down the computer at the setup assistant so when your friend starts up the MacBook for the first time, he goes through the setup assistant as when turning on a new Mac purchase for the first time. You can always help him with using Boot Camp to install your copy of XP.

  • Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

    Hello everybody
    My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
    Thank you in advance

    I would strongly recommend you not do this.  You will regret it.
    I have played with this issue a lot.  You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there.  You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again.  This really is not what you want to do.
    Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music.  You don't want to go though the other process.
    Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
    all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id.  if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app.  You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time.  They are all linked together.

  • My iphone wont let me download apps and is telling me to put in credit card stuff for free apps help me

    You can create a new Apple ID without using a credit card for download free apps by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.  Follow it exactly as writtien.  Note that you have to download and try to install a free app and then create the ID.

  • How do I find the apps and tracks associated with my ex-husband's account to delete them OTHER than 1 by 1-running Windows 8?

    I recently migrated my extensive library from a Mac authorized with both my and my ex-husband's id's to a Windows 8 machine only authorized with my id. I am finding that a good portion of the apps and tracks are still only authorized by his. How do I find these so I can delete them from my library? Finding them 1 by 1 has been VERY tedious. I have seen a script for the Mac to do this, but no solutions for Windows.

    It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well.  Have your Exchange team look at the following
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
    From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
    configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
    You might want to:
    Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
    Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
    If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain).  Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
    desktops.
    Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings.  NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
    Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
    When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
    Good Luck

  • Trying to update iphone 3GS. I use it only for apps and music. It will not allow me to update through itunes? What do I do?

    I have a iphone I do not use as a phone anymore. I use the apps and the music on it though. I downloaded itunes and I am trying to update the phone so I can purchase music and apps for it. When I plug it to the computer it starts syncing and runs a good 20 minutes and then I get an error saying it cannot update and it takes me to a update repair page that does nothing to help. Can someone help me on what to do? I have my own itunes account, I have wi-fi, I have all the songs on my phone I purchased but I cant get it to sync with itunes at all. I can do nothing. Is this usual? Can I do something so I can still use the phone as a Ipod putting new stuff on it or am I stuck with all the old stuff and I can never add anything on it? HELP

    To be exact the error says the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured (-1). What is that?

  • I updated an app and now it won't open

    the app, Pirates in Love, will no longer open. I had purchased two new stories, but it said that they could not be download by means of failed communications. I went to the app store and saw that the app could be updated, thinking that this would help, i updated it. Now, I can click on the app, it's sponsor/creater (Voltage) pops up, but then it goes to a plain white screen and an alert pops up saying: Quit application, and a button underneath saying: Yes. I have synced my iPod with iTunes, but it still will not work.
    Side Note:
         This app was meant for iPhone, but, until now, it has worked just fine, and I've seen other reviews where other iPod users also have had no problem with the app.
    Also, on the description of this app, it said that you can delete this app, and all when you go back and re-buy it, you will be able to keep your purchases and they will not charge you twice, I've considered doing this, but with the problems, and i really don't want to. especially being that when you go to delete an app, the alert pops up saying: all saved data will removed.

    Double-press the HOME button, find the app, and flick its screen image up to kill the in-memory copy of the app. The reboot your phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears.

  • Can you get your money back after you gift someone an app and it doesn't work?

    I kneed to know if you can get your money back when you gift an app to someone if it doesnt work. Thanks!

    If you've tried contacting the developer and not had a response then you can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
