Try playing a video of quality lower than 360p. Try playing a 240p video and see if it works. Otherwise, it might be like it only purports audio from MP4 files and not the video.

Nokia Asha 306 Conversations

Hello there , I have a question : if you could clear this up for me - how can I transfer my text messages from Nokia SUITE to Nokia Asha 306 in their exact order? I know this could be done, but I don't know how. Otherwise, why did technology evolve so fast if it couldn't do this? IN my computer, in Nokia Suite, the text messages appear in their order (according to time, sender, date etc) but I don't know how to transfer all these texts in Nokia 306. I have this phone which is brand new - cannot save my texts. THANKS in advance !

Guess what farby, i was living with a pretty older Nokia Suite on my desktop. So it didn't include those Inbox and Sent folders. Switched to my laptop and there lies the latest version. Tried it there and it kinda worked here's what i got:
Transferring individually as inbox and then sent isn't a good idea as the phone doesn't bothers to reorder them instead keeps all received at top and the sent on the bottom (or the opposite if sent were first copied).
The better option is copying the whole conversation. It copies the sent and received messages exactly according to the date/time and keeps the conversation intact. Yes, it didn't worked in the older version but it worked with this latest version of Suite.
But the only problem now is that it copies in the reverse order. So that means the oldest messages of the conversation come at the bottom instead of being at the top. This thing works good for many of the devices (like my C1) which show conversation with newest on top, but Asha Touch series is different. Newest appear up at the bottom.
I'm gonna try out with latest beta version of Nokia Suite if its already sorted out in that . Else maybe the bug should be filed.
And kudos to you, farby. You were really helpful man. I can even stay with the conversation in reversed order as long as its possible to read. But, know Nokia Devs will be kind enough to sort this out

In my nokia asha 306 not support higer quality vid...

Hey
sir what is this in old software all high quality videos are supported but in new software high quality not supported i want good video player

This has happened with my Nokia Asha 306. It had version 3.81 and it was playing this video very well but after I have had updated it to version 7..42, that very same video is not played properly. Its video is not visible with the message that the video is of higher resolution. But then how does that video was being played in version 3.81 correctly?
My product code is:
059L900: RM-767 MEA_MAA_RED_NULL_PK
SW version: 07.42 variant: 33
I hope that support people would convey this to developers so that in the next version this is resolved.
I tried attaching that video that I was able to play in Nokia Asha 306, SW version 3.81, but could not.
This information is what I get from GOM player when I play this file:
[Ver. 2, 1, 50, 5145(EN)]
*** DIRECTSHOW FILTER LIST ***
1. Default DirectSound Device
2. VMR9 - Renderless mode
3. Gretech Video
4. Gretech Audio
5. Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder
6. Gretech MP4 Source
*** VIDEO INFO ***
Input Type : mp4v(GVC)
Input Size : 320 x 240
Output Type : YUY2
Output Size : 320 x 240
FrameRate(Frame/sec) : 0.00 (25.00)
*** AUDIO INFO ***
SampleRate(Sample/sec) : 44100
BitRate(Bit/sample) : 16
Channels : 2
KBitRate(KBit/sec) : 1411
So it is clear that the video is 320 x 240 and it was played correctly before ver 7.42.
We need that ability back.
Thanks

Nokia Asha 306 Wifi and internet options

I have searched this forum for answers but have not found any so post this here. I know the Asha 306 is not a top notch phone from Nokia, but it is still a good phone and I like it a lot. I bought it as an introductory smart phone, as I want to learn to use it before I go into more expensive models. I will list some problems I have had recently, not to criticise the phone or Nokia, only to name some problems that I can't explain. I admit some of this may be because of my ignorance ans so I apologize beforehand. But it would not surprise me if other people have had similar problems. I bought my first Nokia cell phone back in 1998 so I am not a new customer, by the way.
First thing. I was glad to get a cell phone with Wifi, as this is cheaper than using a subscription internet service. I have access to free Wifi, so planned to use this in the daytime but then use a prepaid package at night or when travelling. To make a long story short, I adjusted my cell phone in such a way that it would prefer a Wifi network wherever possible, and then only go to the internet provider in case the Wifi did not work or if I did not have a password for the Wifi. This, it seems to me, has not been possible. When adjusting the settings in this way, the phone will simply not contact with the Wifi network. I had to turn the Wifi off before I could access the internet again using my prepaid package.
Could a part of the problem be that my Wifi provider requests people to log onto the Wifi with a password every time? I used the password but the phone does not seem to remember it, even though the settings are set to remember password.
Second, the Nokia OVI suite does not work for me. I downloaded it and then connected the cell phone, first by bluetooth and then by cable, nothing works. I thing this is a serious issue. I remember from past years, like five to eight years ago, that this was a recirrent problem with the Nokia phones I had then. I want to make a backup of my data for safety purposes. Since I can't use the Ovi suite, I have resorted to back up my data by copying the phone numbers and contact onto another cell phone thatI keep as a reserve in case my new phone gets lost.
To return to the original problem, I think it very important that a cell phone will operate on a Wifi network without problems in order to save money. There are considerable costs involved for many people to browse the internet a lot. Therefore, the Wifi option is very important.
Thank you for your patience. I still think this is a great phone and very good value for money, perhaps the best value for the money on the whole mobile phone market.

Does this help?

Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Video Problem

This year at Randolph-Macon College we replaced the Math lab Emac computers with IMac G5 Intel machines. The laboratory has an NEC model MT1050 projector with a manufacturer’s date of August 2002. We can not seem to get rid of ever present scan lines. We can slow them down and speed them up by adjusting resolution and refresh rates, but nothing will remove them. We are connecting the IMac to the projector via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. It is specifically designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), and the adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector.
Troubleshooting the problem we have swapped IMac Intel computers with no luck, but we still have to use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. When we hook the projector to a Intel Mac Book Pro, we have to use a different adapter, but then it works perfectly. In fact, everything we try using other adapters works fine, it’s just when we use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter that we experience the video problem.
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, have you been able to remedy it?
iMac (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't have much to suggest, except to ask if you can try with a different mini-DVI to VGA adapter. (i.e. do you have more than one on hand to make sure yours isn't just defective?) Make sure it is firmly seated into the iMac.
I use the same adapter to provide an extended desktop on an old CRT monitor and the display is great.

T400 - Video problems and a long wait for repair...

Hi,
I'd just like to state my experience with Lenovo Customer Support for a video problem with my T400. Bottom line, as of today, it's been around 27 business days that it's been with Lenovo, and 41 days total since it's failed on me, and nobody, including Lenovo Customer Support, seems to know what its status is exactly, except that they're waiting on a part which has no ETA.
In July 2009, I bought a T400, a 2764CTO version with the switchable graphics between the internal intel graphics and the ATI GPU.
All was well until February 1st, 2010, when the LCD sudden wouldn't work. Well, it would work, but the screen was very very dim, even with the display maxed out on brightness. You would have literally bring your nose to the screen in order to even make out any text or images - definitely unusable. However, if you hooked up an external monitor via the video output, the T400 would display video output properly that way. When I did this, I noticed that the switchable graphics option wasn't there any more - couldn't switch to the ATI GPU. Based on this, I figured it must be a video card or LCD issue, or a combination of both.
So, I called Lenovo Customer Support (CS) at 1-800-565-3344, since I'm up here in Canada, and I initially was issued a case number of 41JRFSD, and I agreed to send it to a local Lenovo Repair Centre. Oops, my bad, I made a mistake using the locator tool I was told to use at bplocator.lenovo.com, and thought the Centre was relatively close. Not quite. So, I called Lenovo CS again, and they issued me with a new case number, 40KWSYF, and said they'd send a box for return to depot. And within 2 days, Feb 2nd or 3rd, I got a Purolator courier return box. That's fast service! Pleased, I put my T400 in according to instructions, and I sent it off.
Fast forward to about mid-February. I called Lenovo CS, and apparently there was a delay - the depot needed a part that wasn't in stock. Fine, I know these things can happen - I'll wait.
Fast forward to March 1st. I talk to a Lenovo CS rep, and it appears that the part needed has arrived, and they've put a rush order to get the computer back to me. Great!
Fast forward to March 8th, still no computer. I talk to another Lenovo CS rep... strange, there's no update. The issue gets escalated to the Depot managers.
Fast forward to March 12th. Still no word on my T400's status. An email fron CS has been sent to the depot. Not even the CS reps know what's going on. The rep I talk to figures there should be a response by the end of the day.
Fast forward to today, March 13th, 4:50pm Pacific Time. I just finish talking to Lenovo CS, there's been no response from the depot. Apparently there's a part that they're waiting on for repairs, but there's no ETA on it. Is it the same part that I've waiting on all this time? Is it a new one? I don't know.
At this point, I've been told to send an email explaining my situation, and I've also been told to talk to Scott the next time I call CS on Monday after 3pm Eastern. I have to stress that the Lenovo Customer Support Reps I've talked to have all been very sympathetic and have been courteous, helpful, and professional - something I appreciate from having worked in Customer Support myself. But the bottom line remains: my computer's not back to me.
So, my questions to the community here: is my experience here typical? Is there any hope of my seeing my computer back, or even at least just the hard drive? I've used Lenovo computers for work for the past 7 years, and it was my good work experiences that led me to buying a Lenovo for home use. However, it's been a while since I've been without my T400, and I was hoping to get my taxes done on the computer too, since they're due at the end of March. I'll reserve judgement on Lenovo until I get my computer back, but at this point, all I can say is... I'm disappointed.
If you're reading this, I'll let you judge my experience for youself. I'll update my case as it progresses.
Thanks!

Hi all,
So, an update with some good news: my computer is finally back!
After a total of over 40 business days (just over 2 months) I finally have my T400 back at home, working again!
According to the spec sheets, the repair depot had to replace: the systemboard/planar, display/LCD panel, LCD cable, PC card, bluetooth, and the inverter. BIOS/Embedded controller was also updated, along with the regular diagnostics to ensure everything was working properly.
I give Lenovo credit though: they got the final parts to repair the computer on Monday, April 5th, and shipped my computer back to me for the next day (today, April 6th). That's fast service, once repaired!
However, my case spans over 4 screens of updates and repair depot orders of parts.
Also, it took me over 10 calls to Lenovo's Customer Service, plus an escalation to a higher-level manager after 1 month had passed, to get progress updates and ETAs for repair.
Lenovo called me only once to give me an update, and that was the manager whom my issue was escalated to: all the other times, I called Lenovo for an update.
The story doesn't end here, however:
In talking to Customer Support, they told me that Sales might be able to sell me an extended warranty at a discount, given the issues I had. And indeed, after talking to Sales, they offered me a 1 year warranty extension at a price of just over $100 CDN, plus tax. This is a sale price, compared to the regular retail of $129. Unfortunately, they can't sell me just one month.
At this point, I refused their offer, and again escalated to a manager to request an extension of exactly 1 month on my existing warranty. I figure 1 month delay in repairs, that's plausible - crap happens, and while most repairs take 5-10 business days, I can understand it can sometimes go higher. Two months though.... My request for a warranty extension is being considered by the manager it was escalated to.
So, one last question for you folks reading this: am I being unreasonable, talking to Lenovo support one more time to request a 1 month extension of my warranty, given the length of time it's taken for repairs? I'll post the response Lenovo will give me tomorrow, as they've said they'll do.
One thing for sure: Lenovo's response will definitely influence my choice of brand from whom to buy a new computer (and it will influence the choice of my friends who've heard my issues, and maybe yours too). My particular repair problem may not come up often, but if it does happen to you, I'd be happy to know of your experience.
Thanks for sticking with me through the drama!

Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

What are the attributes of your PVR video...
specifically, is it variable frame rate?

Why does a Safe Boot fix my video problem?

After visiting my local Genius Bar twice (and getting two different answers), I erased and reinstalled Snow Leopard 10.6 on my late-2006 "white plastic" iMac.
I reinstalled the version of SL that came with the iMac, then upgraded it twice to OS 10.6.8. Software Updater says all of my OS components are up-to-date.
My video-corruption problems ("ghosting", "tearing", pixelation of icon, then the kernel CRASHES within 20 minutes) appear when I boot normally. But they permanently disappear when I reboot into the Safe Mode!
I've search Apple.com and every other site I can find without a clear answer to this:
What extensions, StartUp items, software daemons or gremlins DO NOT load in Safe Mode? Shouldn't one of them be the cause of my problem? Or does Safe Boot work on a hardware-level, too?
This happens on ALL accounts, both Admin and regular users. No external devices are connected except the wired mouse and wired keyboard.
I've zapped the PRAM three times, and I've unplugged it for hours. Disk Utility shows everything is good, too. There's about 50 gigs left on the internal 750 GB hard drive.
The so-called "Geniuses" both ran their Triage OS off an external drive and my iMac hardware passed ALL of their tests. One said it just needed a reinstall (a free fix!!), and the other said my video card is bad ($800, and I have to use an outside repair shop).
Can someone give me an idea how to proceed? I've been working in Safe Mode for days, but that prevents me from using: Sound, my home network, fonts, Preview, editing in iPhoto, etc.
Thanks.

Hi, Mike,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I read the linked post about QE, but I don't see how it could help me troubleshoot my problem. Could you clarify: is QE a piece of "software" (that is, a file -- like an extension)?
If QE IS a piece of software that is disabled in a Safe Boot, I should be able to move it to my Desktop and restart. If my video problem is eliminated, the QE software is the problem, right?
But then, if my problem is caused by a file/extension, why would the problem occur (and be eliminated in a Safe Boot) right after I re-installed the OS? Shouldn't all the System software be pristine right after re-installation? But since it's NOT fixed by the re-installation, it seems like a hardware problem -- like the expensive video card. That's what's confusing me.
So, I'm proceeding as if the problem is caused by a file being loaded into memory and I'm trying to disable the items that don't load in Safe Boot Mode one-at-a-time. I just need a specific list of what those items are (and their locations on my hard drive).
In OS/9, I used Conflict Catcher to do this automatically, but I haven't found an OSX app to do the same. So I'm trying to do it manually.
Please excuse my layman's terms. Any help is appreciated.

I think this has to do with the new video drivers but I'd like to know how I can fix the problem.
I don't know what other logs to provide as I'm pretty new (using arch for a 9 months) and I haven't had video problems before.

I just noticed that the video card crashes after i come back from sleep mode.
Here's the kernel log: http://pastebin.ca/2050145
and the Xorg.log: http://pastebin.ca/2050146
For this crash, unlike the one that happens when I view a flash video full screen, the problem can be fixed if i log off and log back on.

ITunes / Quicktime Video Problems With Windows VISTA

I took up Windows Vista as soon as it was available and initially had no problems with iTunes. Then later, video clips (those purchased from iTunes and those I had converted myself) started stuttering / freezing and eventually crashing iTunes and finally I lost audio as well.
Ayyway to cut a long story short, I have uninstalled / re-installed Vista now about eight times for problems with installing drivers for USB devices (I've finally solved all these problems). After the last install the first program I installed was iTunes, tried video and it worked flawlessly. Then, each time I added a hardware device or program I would restart Vista and retry iTunes video.
The first item I added was a USB thumb drive (as I had on all previous occasions to take advantage of Vista's 'Ready Boost'). The thumb drive is a 'Sony 2GB micro vault tiny', and meets the transfer speed requirements for 'Ready Boost', as soon as I had set the drive up for 'Ready Boost' I started having the same problems with iTunes video and Quicktime.
Removed the thumb drive, restarted iTunes and had flawless video playback again. Have tried this over and over with the same result.
So my question is, has anyone else had video playback problems with iTunes / Vista and found similar problems. Trying to tie down whether this is a compatability problem with 'Ready Boost' or the thumb drive used. I have also tried a Sandisk Titanium 2GB with the same result.
I am not sure exactly how 'Ready Boost' works, I thought it added memory that was used to cache page files to the thumb drive instead of to the HDD making a faster seek /access time? Which should make things faster. Another article I read today was talking about 'Ready Boost' being an affordable extension to RAM, in this case I could understand the problem as I would think the access to a USB 2.0 thumbdrive would be slower than that to RAM.
Any help appreciated, but I guess my bottom line is anytime I want to watch video on iTunes, I just pull the USB thumb drive .

I have the same stuttering video issues with iTunes and Vista. While I have used a thumb drive to transfer files (not Sony) I have not yet messed with Ready boost. I have seen several others complain about the video problem, perhaps they will chime in as well. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't work for me. I pretty much ignore iTunes, waiting for the next version (only god knows when it will be released).
I do have an external firewire drive connected, I'll disconnect later today and see if that has any affect.
