All about Symbian Belle Problems.

Hi,
Here are my full list of problems, suggestion i would like to  keep infront of you.
I sent the problems via ''CONTACT US'' and to some Nokia employee via PM but they just can't....
No problem is solved in software update.
Of Course that's really tough though 
Here is the list,
Just copied from the sent items.
Please neglect if something is repeated.
1.
1.Screen starts blinking when a new meassage arrives!
Screen starts blinking ( ON/OFF) continuosly sometimes after unlocking keypad when phone shows new message arrived. Screen blinks at the rate of  8-10 times per second. We need to press end key to stop it.
2. Brightness:
In indoors or in low light conditions after Light time-out the screen brightness should be reduced, but brightness increases!!?
When we touch the screen brightness reduces back to normal. This repeats again and again. That is why i have to increased light timout to 60 seconds to avoid disturbance to eyes.
Sometimes light sensor doesnot work at all outdoors while using maps.
3.Slowdown of phone.
Phone slows during and after installing or removal of sis packages.
I have lot of apps installed from Nokia Store. 
4. Menu scrolling and appearance of icons in menu after installation:
When we have more games and apps installed , the menu won't scroll smooth. It strucks in between and jumps to last item.
5. Appearance of icons in menu after installing apps games takes half a minute! Ofcourse i have many apps and games installed.
6.
Side unlock key vibrations. Unlock key vibrations sometime won't vibrate. We need to goto profile and reactivate the profile. Maybe this is third party app problem.
7. Camera:
When shooting CRT TV, the screen is not stable. I can shoot without problem on my Nokia C3-00.
8. Camera  hidden in background and runs continously:
Battery dries very fast sometimes, the day when i use camera, i use Best Taskman by Smartphoneware. You know what camera application will be still running  in background SOMETIMES though long pressing menu key shows no Open applications!!
So camera will be sometimes running hidden even after closing it.
9. Touch screen answer key:
Touching answer key on screen won't work sometimes when there is a incoming call, apps, maps, or browsing.
Sometimes phone restarts when a call arrives at that time.
10. Connecting phone in mass storage mode.
When i connect my phone to computer in mass storage mode, it is obvious that all apps games which are installed on mass and memory card becomes unavailable,
but wallpapers applied from mass and memeory card will not be re applied to homescreen back as wallpaers once mass storage mode is changed or even after removing cable connected to pc.
We need to apply them manually again or we need to apply wallpapers from internal memory!
11.Widgets.
There is a problem with mail widget. We cannot scroll it continuously. When  we scroll it once it scrolls and while scrolling if we continue to scroll again it won't scroll but stops scrolling. So one scrolling attempt after another makes the scroll stop!!
These are some problems and bugs present on Symbian belle on NOKIA 701.
Please solve them and provide software update.
Thank You.
In Love With Nokia.

Here are some more bugs and problems of Symbian Belle-Nokia 701.
1.Widget arrangement in landscape mode gets changed on its own automatically when a widget in portrait mode successfully fits but it couldn't in landscape. We'll be not knowing what happens in landscape mode  widget arrangements!
It would be better to have auto arrangement of widgets when we move another widgets in the homescreen.
2.Brightness variation during video playback is bit annoying.
3. Music files are not actually arranged according to album name, albums are again differentiated by contributing artists.
So to group the songs of an album, We have to delete all the contributing artists of all the songs of that album or change the contributing artists name to a common name.
4.I don't know what happens when i swipe the album art while playing a song using music player on 701.
When i swipe from left to right for the first song of an album, the song plays from the beginning or restarts. When i swipe from right to left it plays the next song, and when i again swipe from left to right it plays previous song. Well i just don't use swiping on album. Because it is confusing.
5.When i connect my 701 in Ovi suite mode and browse files using Computer-Portable devices-Nokia 701-Mass Memory-Music folder and while the music player is playing music, it starts showing 'media transfer in progress' and it won't go even after closing the folder in the computer.
'Media transfer in progress' message appears specially when i enter music folder of the mass memory!!
So these are some more bugs and problems which i found again.
Thank you.
3.
I have been taking photos of some pages.
What happens is that some images gets stored in landscape mode and some gets stored in portrait mode, though i kept the mobile in the same position while capturing. I think this is a problem with auto rotation. One more issue is with in-line editing, for example in opera mini. I we write something using prediction activated, we cannot move the cursor to previous word. To do this we need to deactivated prediction and we can move the cursor left or right towards desired words. I think this is maybe problem of 3rd party apps. This problem doesn't exists in other areas of phone like messaging. It's good. One more problem i have already sent to you is unlock or key vibration. When i remove the phone from charger the vibration doesn't work. We need to goto profiles and reactivate the profile again. Well these are some other problems i noticed in symbian belle of 701. Thank you. In love with Nokia.
4.
Another issue is with editing contact. I cannot select the numbers easily to delete them or add some digits to theme. I cannot touch and scroll to move the editing page, i have use side scroller to scroll to bottom or top. Will post some more problems if found on Nokia 701. I hope that posting like this is not annoying to you. Thank you.

Hello,
1.
I was using wifi on my two phones today, C3-00 and 701. I have noticed that wifi was repeatedly disconnecting(There was less wifi signal) on my 701, C3-00 was accessing same wifi without any problems. Even if 701 connects for a while, speed was too slow, very less than my C3-00.
2.
Task switcher which takes snapshots of apps sometimes takes wrong snapshots when we long press home key. Will post if any issue with my 701. Thank you
6.
I was using nokia drop application to install apps from ovi store.
It have installed many apps but two apps were taking much time to install so i pressed end key and ended the Nokia Store client,.
Now my menu icons and their names are interchanged, but when i add them to homescreen as shortcut it looks okay.
7.
2. Game play slows down and there will be hanging effects in the game (Angry birds) during and after the email alert.
3.I don't know but i just couldn't find stereo video recording, i checked the with my earphones but couldn't find any stereo effect.
4. Nokia account signin confirmation appears on the screen whenever i boot to Homescreen. Maybe because of new Nokia store installation! But interesting thing is that the same Nokia login confirmation appears even after turning off the phone and after connecting the charger!!! Switching the phone off and connecting the charger should only display battery meter at right top of the screen, but the login confirmation appears at that time.
5. I had a YouTube icon in the menu. I just uninstalled it as u could play youtube via browsers itself. I later noticed that YouTube app was in Store. I downloaded it but i couldn't open it. On touching it just closes immediately. The interesting thing again is that you cannot open any Google mobile applications!!!! They just look like they are starting but gets closed immediately!! As youtube app in Nokia store!
6. Applications screenshots. Screenshots which appear after long pressing menu are sometimes the screenshots of the Homescreen!
7. File type icons in file manager are all look same for installation files like sis and java, office files etc.
8. It would be better to have Homescreen sort option for easy arrangement and automatic movement of other widgets when we move desired widget on other widgets wherever there is a place for movement. Well these were some of problems, bugs and some suggestions i found. I will post some more if find any. Thank you.

Symbian belle. Version 111.030.0609 Bugs.
1.
I found a new problem with the scroller in the gallery. When we touch the scroller and move it completely to the bottom,
the scroller moves down inside the option button!
So we cannot scroll back again! We need to touch the gallery images and scroll so that scroller comes above the option menu!
2.
Scrolling is pretty smooth compared to old software, but still seems some scrolling problem when there are more apps on the menu list!
3.
There should have been a simple text editor! Please provide text editor software in Nokia store or full version Office.
4.
Much of the productive softwares doesn't work in belle like Skype and even new updated joikuspot for example.
5.
There should have been a record option in the options while calling and 4 columns option for menu icons.
6. 
Problem with the mailbox widget is not solved. Scolling continuously in the widget is not possible.
7.
Brightness problem when we set display light timeout is still there. After 5 seconds after light timout display should become less bright but it becomes more bright -Works correct under bright light and works reverse in low light!!
Don't think that Nokia 701 has lots of problems.
I don't think that these are very big problems but are bearable though.
Thank You.
IN LOVE WITH NOKIA.

@ khanjan_701
The menu ket blinking without any reason is caused by standby breathing light. This can be solved by going to settings>phone>notification lights>standby breathing light>breathing light>off. If not found under settings then try looking for it at profiles but I believe that in devices running Symbian Anna or Nokia Belle it is found at settings but with the E-Series like E71 and the other E-series except E7 and other E-Series running on Symbian Anna or Nokia Belle it is foound at settings.
Under settings>phone>notification lights>notification light>blink light for, you can set a specific amount of time you want the light to blink when a new message or missed call arrives. Under settings>phone>notification lights>notification light>events notified, you can choose whether the menu key blinks when either a new message or a missed call arrives.
Hope that this solution will help you. I currently have a Nokia N8-00 and by changing that setting the menu key only blinks when a new missed call or new message arrives.

  • Nokia n8 symbian belle problem HELP

    Before i upgraded to belle software i was able to put a film on my usb dongle then using the adapter that comes with every n8 ( which turns your mini usb connection into a usb) plug it into my phone. Then i would use the av or the hdmi lead to connect it to my t.v and play the film through my phone on to my t.v screen. Since i have updated to the new belle software it doesnt work anymore the pictures there but no sound! This is so annoying since i used it all the time does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it please help me. Thanks!

    I too am having the same issue with only hotmail. Looking at Microsoft forums, Nokia users aren't the only ones. MS have done some sort of 'upgrade' to their exchange servers which is causing the issue.  They are sorting it out but goodness knows how long this is going to take. My emails sometimes come in but then on the next sync they disappear. The gripe that alot of people have is that phone manufacturers apparently hadn't been told of this 'upgrade' and for me, my additional gripe is that I have been a Nokia user since 1996 and over the last 1.5 I am getting increasingly frustrated with Nokia anyway and waiting for them to sort out some ongoing issues I have had since September last year, now this as there is this ' I don’t use active exchange as I don’t want to sync my contacts or calendar this way and prefer to use other ways/apps to sync this info. As there is and apparent ‘partnership' between Nokia & Microsoft, how come none of us users had a clue it was going to happen and what steps we should take for a smooth transition.

  • Symbian Belle on E6-00?

    Hello All,
    Whenever I read the PR statements about Symbian Belle, the older Symbian^3 touchscreen only phones such as the N8, C6-01, C7 etc are mentioned as being eligible for the Belle update, but nothing specifically about the E6-00.
    Does any one know if the E6-00 will get the Belle update for sure?
    Thanks in advance for any (constructive) replies!
    Present: Lumia-820
    Past: E6, L-800, N8, N900, 5800 XM, 6500 Slider, 6303c

    Go to Solution.

    That is anyones guess.
    It could be several months or more yet, the earliest suggestions are the first few months of 2012.
    However, despite the first firmware update for the E6 being released five months ago, it has still not been made available for my bog standard generic, SIM free, never locked to a network, bug filled E6.
    On that basis just because there might be a Belle update released at some point, somewhere, do not rely on it being made available to you then or at any point in the future. Updates and bug fixes are a lottery.

  • E7 Symbian Belle - MMS problems

    I own an Nokia E7 with Symbian Belle installed.
    The MMS are received very small 240x240... even when they are sent in larger formats.
    The E7 resizes the MMS to that size.
    I changed the MMS settings to free mode and large image, but the problem remains.
    Does anyone has this problem?
    And does anyone knows how to take care of it?

    Well I can send photo's fine on my E7 running Belle, so would still suggest you contact your service provider to ensure you have the correct settings ! It's NOT a Belle issue

  • E7 SYMBIAN BELLE UPGRADE PROBLEM

    When upgrading my Nokia E7 from symbian anna to symbian belle, the phone switched off and on restarting, it dispay a text: '' phone startup failed, contact retailer.'' what can i do about this? your concern will be appreciated.

    If the warning came during the update and the phone no longer works you may have to take to a Nokia Care Point to be reflashed, if you can start the phone with a Three finger reset, try to reinstall Belle. If the phone has started misbehaving after completing the update, then as mentioned before, do a reset and reinstall Belle.

  • MicroSD cashing problem with Symbian belle update

    It’s only been 14 hours since I have updated to Symbian Belle, but after a short period of usage I noticed that my music would lag for 0.5 - 3 seconds, sometimes once, sometimes a couple of times a song.
    My song library was located on my MicroSD 16GB class2 card that has worked in this N8-00 for the full 1.5 years that I have it. I now have formatted the internal and external drives and put in the same one folder of music. I listened to the songs and what I found out is that the songs on my MicroSD are acting up. The phone completely locks up for 0.5 - 3 seconds and continues. Its seems to happen moor to songs with an higher than 256kbps bitrate.
    My problem with this BUG, is that it now happends with the update to Bella, and not to Anna or befor, therefor concluding that the software is not optimized as much for MicroSD card use.
    Have you have the same problem since Belle, using an N8 or other device? Please post below.

    Hi Rayhipkiss,
    I tried all sort of ways for N8 0599255 variant but nokia 3.3.86 doesn't show any Belle update
    Well, I can definitely confirm that the Belle update is available for your product code. Other users facing the same issue mentioned that they had to un-install Nokia suite and re-install a fresh copy. You may also need to disable any firewall active on your PC (try this first before re-installing Nokia Suite). 
    All the best.

    Does the regular Firefox 8 release version work or does the version crash as well?
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Problem updating N8 to Symbian Belle-Error code 20...

    Hello.
    I tried to update my Nokia N8 from Symbian Anna to Symbian Belle using Nokia Suite as it became available. The update got downloaded but while it was preparing to install, there was an error and its code was 2000. I retried several times but no luck. Same error 2000.
    How do I fix this problem please!?
    Solved!

    @TroubleGirl
    At this point in update process N8 has to disconnect from Nokia Suite connectivity mode and load an additional driver Nokia USB ROM to flash software and this doen't seem to be happening.
    You could try repairing Nokia Suite installation, remove and re-install or perhaps use standalone Nokia Software Updater application:http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/...erSetup_EN.exe

  • Nokia 701 Symbian Belle Widget problem

    when i see previews of themes on nokia store, there are some widgets that i don't have on my Nokia 701 (latest software update)...for example the (3G On/Off) widget and some others too, is there any place where i can get these widgets ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    These widgets are in the latest symbian Belle firmware that comes to S^3 devices like N8, C7 ... in february.
    I think newer devices like your 701 will also get a software update of Belle.

  • Disappointed with Symbian Belle! Pros vs Cons

    I accept that I'm probably in the minority here, as a lot of you seem to be banging on about how great Belle is, but I personally dislike it! In fact, I would go as far as saying I HATE Symbian Belle, after coming from Symbian Anna!
    First of all, I'd like to point out that I do appreciate the good points of Belle. I like the fact that they finally sorted out a few issues which plagued earlier Symbian^3 versions. However, some of the major issues seem to have been left unchecked, whilst I feel other aspects have been changed unnecessarily.
    After 15 months of owning a Nokia N8, I kind of expected all of the bugs to have been worked out by now, but it seems that 15 months later we are still complaining about many of the issues which we complained about on day one!
    I could also live with some of the minor annoyances I have found with Belle, but some are just so frustrating that I often wonder why the hell they decided to change it, especially when it didn't need to be changed in the first place! The clock and the music player homescreen widget are two such features I feel didn't need to be altered, yet they did so anyway just for the sake of it...
    After just 24 hours of updating to Belle, I've decided that if I can't find a way back to Anna (I hear that a Nokia service centre can perform the downgrade), then I'm getting rid of my N8. As much as I love my N8 to bits, I cannot live with it with an interface that I am unhappy with, especially when Anna felt like second nature to me! My beloved handset has been altered, and this is no longer the phone I sent the last 15 months using
    Here's what I like about Belle:
    * Extra homescreens - For me, three was always plenty, but I can see why other people would prefer to have more. However, it would be nice to have three as the default, rather than four, as I am left with an unused screen which is unnecessary for my use
    * The ability to rearrange homescreen widgets more freely - I like this feature, and it's something I initially thought was going to be a feature of Symbian^3 when the N8 was first released. Being able to finally place shortcuts anywhere on the screen is very useful, and more intuitive than having to have rows of four
    * The dropdown menu - This is a nice touch, and puts all of the most important on / off features in one place (such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth etc). However, I wish that this was a one-touch operation, rather than a touch & flick gesture
    * Speed - General transitions and navigation are so much more faster now! As it should have been to begin with...
    Anything else which I like (like the faster browser and vertical QWERTY keyboard) are throwbacks from Anna, so I won't mention them here as they don't relate directly to Belle
    Here's a list of the things I dislike about Belle:
    * Redesigned homescreen widgets - Was there really any need to redesign the primary homescreen widgets, such as the clock / calendar / profile menu group, and music player? On Anna, these were nice neat little widgets which occupied two rows between them - Now the music player widget takes up half the screen, and the clock / calendar / profile group has been disbanded into separate widgets which all take up extra space! Why was this necessary?
    * Redesigned digital clock - I don't like the new-look digital clock on the homescreen, and I especially don't like the new screensaver digital clock! At least give us a choice of Anna / Belle designs, so we can choose which one we prefer! I much prefer the original screensaver clock design, and I would rather have the original clock / calendar / profile menu group back in place of separate widgets for each!
    * The new text messaging interface - More specifically, the text messaging menu. For some reason, Nokia have assumed that everybody texts using the Conversations feature, and has relegated everything else to a secondary menu option to show the various text message folders. To me this is a big no-no! I like to be organised, but I don't want to keep having to switch to folder view whenever I want to manage my texts, especially when this used to be the default view when I hit the text messaging button!
    * New navigation icons and icon locations - Using Belle has become a cryptic guessing game! Navigation icons seem to have been moved around, and the icons changed. More time is spent deciphering what the icons are and what they do, rather than being quick and easy. For a Symbian newcomer, I'm sure they'll pick it up easily, but for a Symbian veteran coming from Symbian^3 / Anna to Belle, they just cause confusion! I'm scared to touch a new icon in case it does something undesired!
    * Lack of default application folders - I know, I know, there's the ability to create folders, but who the hell decided that removing default application folders was a good idea in the first place? All of my nicely organised applications have been scattered into one main group! Again, for what logistical reason?
    * Headphones no longer work - Like many people, I prefer to use my own choice of headphones, rather than those basic ones that come bundled with the N8. However, after updating to Belle, I find that my headphones no longer work! The sound is not diverted to the 3.5mm jack, and music just plays through the device speaker rather than the headphones which are plugged in. I tried them out on other devices, and they work fine, and they worked fine before I updated to Belle, so this is obviousy an issue which needs to be addressed
    * Homescreen wallpaper pictures obscured by navigation bar - Previously, the pictures I use as my homescreen wallpapers fit nicely between the navigation bar along the bottom, and the info bar along the top. With Belle this is no longer the case, where the picture is extended, and these two bars obscure the image below (the navigation bar happens to be semi-transparent, but that's beside the point)
    * Application screen button right above the physical button - I honestly don't see the point in having a button in the bottom left corner which does the exact same thing as the physical button on the N8 which is situated directly below it.
    * Profile ordering - On previous Symbian handsets, and also previously with Symbian^3 / Anna, it was possible to order your profiles however you wanted. There was also more than four default profiles. However, with Belle it seems that if you rename any of those first four, they retain their position, regardless of alphabetisation. For example, if you created a fifth profile called "Silent (Office)", it would appear in fifth place, rather than directly beneath "Silent" as you would expect
    * Renaming the default "Silent" profile conflicts with the dropdown menu function - If you rename the default "Silent" profile to something else (Ie, "Loud"), and also change the profile settings (such as turning the volume right up), then this renders the silence feature in the dropdown menu redundant! You can still select the "Silent" function from the dropdown menu, but it will activate / deactivate whatever profile occupies that second slot, regardless of whether you have it set as silent or something else
    * The camera interface - Once again, an example of moving icons when they didn't need to be moved! I used to find that the location of the various camera settings was perfect with Anna, but now they're all along the bottom. Why did they need to be moved? This is perhaps just nitpicking, and doesn't really bother me as much as other changes, but I see no reason why some things need to be changed for the sake of changing things!
    Things that needed to be fixed, and still haven't:
    * Calculator - In this day and age a smartphone should have an advanced calculator, similar to many hi-end scientific calculators. At the very least, a basic calculator shoud have a "clear screen" button! We shouldn't have to exit the application and relaunch it in order to do a new calculation!
    * The music player - Artists and Albums should be separate. End of! If youre choosing a new ringtone, you can browse by either Song, Artist, or Album, so why isn't this the same for the music player? This has annoyed me ever since I first got my N8, but seems like something Nokia are reluctant to fix, despite complaints from the majority of users. Also, why is there still no user-definable equaliser?

    GeminiPhoenix, you make plenty of valid points, but I think you need to try to give Belle a chance and then you might start noticing small things like the ability to simply delete any unwanted homescreens, and then it might begin to grow on you. I can understand your frustration at what you feel have been unnecessary changes (to Belle itself) but... well, I guess it must have been a MAJORLY serious age-old problem that forced you to risk the upgrade.
    Your complaints about the Belle widgets are all justified and hopefully Nokia are listening and will do something about them in due course.
    Even though I'd like more widgets, and more implementations of various settings into widgets, I find Belle to be be intuitive enough to make it an enjoyable experience - no less than Anna anyway.
    I agree, Nokia should give the option to revert back to previous operating systems.
    If I loved Anna so much, I wouldn't have cared less for latest and fastest software for my device. It would have taken a very serious problem to make me take the risk of changing it.
    I admit I may have jumped the gun on one or two issues, and I have since discovered how to delete unwanted homescreens. However, this just proves that the option is well hidden away in a very specific place, where I would have probably not looked had someone not directed me to it. Therefore I formerly retract that issue from my list, but I will add that I feel such options should be more visible, especially as we don't have a user manual to flick through and we're expected to just figure this stuff out on our own!
    I have also discovered that the Wi-Fi needs to be prioritised in order to automatically connect when in range of my home network. Again, this is not made clear, and the required settings are hidden away in an obscure folder where most normal people wouldn't think to look... I also retract this from my list
    As for the "age-old problem" - This thread should answer everything:
    /t5/Messaging-Email-Browsing-and/Urgent-help-required-N8-refuses-to-send-text-messages-after-6/td-p/...
    It was indeed a serious problem, and the only way to fix it was to update to the newest software version. No doubt the problem will occur again in a few months time, and I'll have to do the same again...
    However, where I initially aimed to fix one problem, Belle has posed several new ones, such as the headphones no longer working, and the text messaging interface being rearranged based on the assumption that everyone texts using the Conversations feature. Two things I use every single day, and pretty much everywhere I go.
    I am also glad that you support my complaints about the widgets, so thank you. I know they're only minor issues, but they're the most used, and I fail to understand why they decided to change certain ones. The whole widget system overhaul is great, but it's ruined by the larger widgets which formerly used to be much more compact. For example, the music player and eMail widgets are the largest and most waste of space, whereas the clock / calendar / profile cluster was perfect, so why separate them so that they take up twice as much space on the homescreen?
    I too hope they're paying attention, and I have openly shared my thoughts with the Nokia team via Twitter. I would suggest everyone else does the same if they feel the same way
    I liked Anna. Whlist I did miss the old PR 1.2 icons, and disliked the coloured blobs, I could live with it. I thought Belle would be more of the same, with just a few tweaks here and there to things that needed fixing, but it seems like something entirely different. At the very least, I expected certain things to stay the same, with the improvements being under-the-hood so to speak
    As I have said before, certain aspects didn't need touching. They were perfectly fine as they were. Belle would function just as well if they had've left the widgets as they were. I appreciate that they've done a lot of work making certain aspects run faster, but some things weren't broken, so why try to fix them? Even more frustrating is the fact that other issues have yet again been ignored, such as the terrible music player interface, which almost everybody wants changing back to something similar to the S60 v5.0 era

  • Symbian Belle Music Player

    hello people,
    this is my first post here, so i start with a quick introduction:
    i´ve been using a lot of different nokia-phones over the last 10 years, but had never used the phones as a music-player.
    Until i bought a 5230 last year. This phone was used a music player. the s60v5-music player software was good, everything fine (well... "gapless playback" is still something i missed, but i come back to this later).
    now i would like to upgrade to a faster device like the nokia 701, but...
    i had sorting/tagging issues with the music player in symbian anna, when trying out the nokia c7, so i gave the phone back.
    and now my questions:
    1. does the music-player in symbian belle allow the old sorting used in s60v5? or at least any correct sorting of albums even if they are compilations?
    2. does the music-player in symbian belle alllow the creation of your own equalizer presets?
    3. i nearly dont dare to ask... could it be that nokia managed it, to get the player play the songs of an album gapless?
    some remarks:
    to 1: if not, the solution would be to retag all my music??
    to 2: why did they remove the option? is there a plan to get it back, maybe with a belle-update?
    to 3: does really nobody at nokia listen to albums that need continuous play? live albums, classical music, electronic music, dj-mixes?
    thank you for reading, and for possible answers!
    have a nice day

    Running my new N8 on Belle. (haven't treid it on Anna by the way ... )
    1 conclussion : Very Disapointed (with capital V & A). what a piece of **bleep** it is !!
    I really don't know where to put my disagree with this sh*t. It seems like there are several topics about it.
    I've had a couple of Nokia's in the last years, but this is really... ( I don't have any words for it) after the upgrade to Belle.
    You CAN'T properlily play a music album which is on a memory-card or on the phone itself !!!!
    I can only play songs from an alphabatical list with singers. Not from an album !!! Making a playlist from a list of albums is also not possible ...  Made changes on the laptop with putting albumnames, changing artistnames, made m3u of playlists. Nothing works !!!
    Why have they made it like this ??
    I had a N86 8MP : perfect. You can choose what you want to play ; album or song. You could change the picture of the album. It had a little equalizer. Even my older 6500C had it !!! And therefore my 6300 had it !!!!!
    Why made a change of something that was good ???
    I really hope that the upgrade to Belle 112 (which is STILL NOT available for N8, but only for 700) whill resolve this kind of problems .... but I got a glitch that it won't ....
    Bought an expensive N8 cause of the 16Gb inside and addional 32GB & 12MP camera, but iI can't used it like any other MP3-device ......  I really think it wil be my last Nokia ....
    And this is not the last issue with Belle ...  Navigation is navigation. In the N86 you got some extra's with compass & searching sattelites & tripmeter... Non in the N8 ...
    Looking pictures like dia from map to map is still not possible ... Only the complete list ...
    Sorry Nokia, but you missed it completly with this "High End" phone....
