Basic features missing in E61 (and other Nokias) v...

I've been using Nokia Smartphone since quite a number of years now, and I'm still estonished about all the excitement that any release of a new models is generating, because basically : nothing is changing. OK, better integrated cameras. OK, integrated Wifi... But come on, let's be honnest, it's time for a revolution. I'm getting really tired of Symbian S60's interface...
Anyhow, I had lately a Nokia E61, and finally sold it away. Why ?
1) Mail application is not able to correctly format a HTML mail. And let's face it, we receive less and less "pure ascii text" messages. Time for an evolution. Some might say : go for Profimail on S60. OK, fine, but then how to I use BlackBerry Connect or Mail for Exchange ???
2) Basic calendar : after so many years, the calendar application also did not evolve. For a phone that claims to be a business phone (E61), the notion of meeting is still ignored by Nokia. And yes, I want and need to know when looking at my agenda who invited me for a meeting and who are the other invitees, and this is not possible with Nokia. And still on the agenda topic, whether using Blakberry connect or Mail for Exchange, it is not possible to receive meeting invitations and accept/decline them, nor is it possible to create new meetings and invite people. For this I need to go back to my PC = E61 will never be *my* business phone.
Come on, wake up Nokia : time for innovation !!!

this may help..

E65 - basic features missing

Just purchased an E65.
Beautiful thing but there are so many useful features missing that I am used to in my old Nokia phones.
1. Can't change font settings - there is only one fint and it is very small.
2. Can't set repeat alarm.
3. No smiley
4. Can't cancel start up tone
I can go on and on. I read that the software used for E65 is Simbian or something which is different from the one used for old Nokia phones, S60? The lack of basic but very useful features in the E65 has been very disaponting indeed
Didn't Nokia test the phone for these basic features?
What is Nokia's rationale for having these features removed?

I can confirm that all the points you make are common to all the latest N- and E-series phones - which all run Symbian 60 3rd Edition.
For the first problem, the only thing you can do is select a theme with high contrast .. or buy a magnifying glass.
For the second, there are a number of 3rd party solutions that provide the sort of alarm functionality you're after. They're all very expensive for what they are though: I was looking at one yesterday until I realised it was US$20! I mean, US$5, OK, but US$20? For a daily alarm? Fuggedaboudit ..
Don't know what you can do about the last two. I guess if you could find the Nokia start up sound file you could replace it with an empty file, but you'd need 3rd party tools and anyway, I doubt it can be done.

Missing system prefrences and other apps!! What do i do!?

My I book G4 with tiger has been having some issues. First my (system preferences, mail, automator ect.) applications are missing. I have a external hard drive but i do not know how to go about backing it up. My computer is also experiencing long startup times (2+ min.) and trouble connecting to wi-fi. Please help me.

If the computer shipped with the Tiger 10.4.x system on DVD media, then you
have most if not all the stuff to get going on that install disc#1. You can start
the computer from the install disc 1 by inserting that disc into the optical drive
and restarting with the C key held down. This gets you into the Installer; but
within the first page with a full window and the Installer menu-bar, you have
options and access to tools, such as Disk Utility. And options in Disk Utility.
Depending on what kind of external drive unit you have, it could be used as a
backup. Some kinds of backups are best done to a FireWire enclosed HDD
with a bootable chipset for making bootable clones of OS X using a clone utility
such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper; both are download utilities and
they can be utilized directly once the instructions from their home pages are clear.
A clone should not be performed to a USB2.0 drive if expected to be bootable in
the older PPC Macs; though some users had some successes in some instances
the FireWire drive appeared the best overall setup to be invested in for those.
You could use Pacifist utility (will run in Demo mode) to extricate correct packages
from the Installer, to attempt to repair by reinstalling, just the parts that are missing.
Pacifist can install parts of the system as it pulls them from a source and makes an
installer on the desktop. This can be tricky, since it may not work the first time. And
some aspects of the instructions can be unclear, making the result non-functional.
An 'Archive & Install' - then update the resulting new system folder using the Combo
and last security updates, all Java updates, quicktime, shockwave & flash player,
new browsers, and other parts, could be the best way to go. If the hard disk drive is
not failing, a full new installation on a zero-overwritten and reformatted hard disk drive
would be a way to assure yourself the old content would be wiped out totally; so some
kind of backup of even a defective drive's contents would be a good idea.

With a mangled System and missing parts, some aspects of making an archive may be

install disc; so you can prepare an appropriate external hard disk drive with that, for use
as a backup or clone host, if it is suitable.
You have a few options. I'm still trying to figure out how the System Preferences and
Applications folders could be missing or trashed from a user's computer. Unless a
helper who had access to the computer while the admin-owner was away, had fun
and opened folders, files, drives; and played drag-drop, trash, etc.
Had you tried a search for System Preferences to see if that item was moved into
some other incorrect location or the Apps moved into another folder?
Sound like fun...
Good luck & happy computing!

I'm missing the scroll bars, trash, and other icons on the pages flyout window. I have reset to default workspace, restarted the program, and the computer and "saved as" and I can't seem to get them back. I'm guessing I hit a key and messed it up. Help!

Missing Adobe Reader and QuickOffice (Nokia 700)

I recently had to do a "full factory reset" on my Nokia 700 but since then I seem to have lost both the
Adobe Reader and QuickOffice. Both were working before the reset and I did a full Nokia Suite backup
and restore after the reset.
In an attempt to restore the two missing functions I've re-installed the software and searched the store,
all to no avail.
Any suggestions about how to get them back?
Solved!

Basic Feature missing in Acrobat Reader 7

I am totally disappointed, that comments can't be printed by Acrobat Reader 7.
I have just upgraded to Acrobat Prof 7 and Reader 7, expecting to enable projects partners printing comments. Tests have shown, editing comments works absolutely fine in both programs, but printing comments in Reader 7 doesn't work ( - in Prof 7 it does of course).
Is this the Business Politics of Adobe to have the clients upgrade again to version 8 to activate Comments printing in Acrobat Reader ???
This no fair play any more, it reminds me of Oracle and Microsoft behavior ...

Karl

>>>But the result by functionality (from the user's point of view) is generally the same
LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a server product and it is primarily targeted enterprises and large coorporations. Its costs are in the thousands or more whereas Acrobat is the end user desktop version and it costs about $400 a piece.
What makes you think that they are the same? Your argument is "a vehicle is a vehicle". However, there is a big difference between a "motocycle" and a "commercial bus". Even though both of them takes you from point A to point B. But there are capabilities that a bus can do that the motocycle can't. You can put more people on the bus but you can't with the motocycle. You can be comfortable as a driver and passengers on the bus and the ride can last for hours but you can't do that with the motocycle.
It is simple, they are two different things even though they are in the same categoy called "vehicle".
The "motocycle-bus" analogy is comprehensive to a novice because it is a physical things that one can see. When it comes to software, it is a conceptual things that is not too obvious.
>>>I have been in Software development for two decades, it is just copying code form Acrobat Prof to the Reader program at maximum, more probably these lines of code are already in but have been disabled in Acrobat Reader ...!!!
Then you should already know it better if you claim that you are in software industry for 2 decades.
You know Karl, until someone else (maybe it would be you) comes out with something similar to Adobe products, everyone of us still have to pay to use Adobe products.
Remember the day when we had to pay for a browser? Browsers are now basically free and can do a lot more than what its ancestors can.

Missing Screen Savers and other crazy happenings...

I recently noticed that the screen saver list in my Screen Saver pref window is blank. As a result, one I open this window, I generally lose control over my keyboard/mouse. I am unable to quit, close the pref window, tab to other apps, etc. I've tried copying the screen saver files from another user acct (which works fine) and pasting them into my main acct, but no luck. I just did a reinstall of Snow Leopard from a full install disc, and still same problems (in fact, now Safari is acting very strange, tabing to bottom of page every time I use the space bar, quitting on me, etc). I've been experiencing intermittent loss of keyboard control for several months now and am wondering if these are related.
BTW: I know this is gouing to sound strange, but I have one more bit of info: once, in a fit of rage at losing keyboard response in the middle of typing an important document, I just started clicking away at random on the keyboard. Oddly, iTune openened up, and lo and behold, my keyboard came back and I was able to continue. I now use this technique every time I lose keyboard/mouse app responsiveness, and as long as iTunes opens up, I get control back. NOTE: if I somehow don't happen to hit the keyboard shortcut that opens iTunes (frankly, I don't even know what it is, but I usually manage to hit it in my random key bashing), I don't get control back.
Seeing as how this intermittent loss of keyboard/mouse response that I have been getting for some time now is exactly the same thing that happens when I open the screen saver control panel, I'm making the strecht assumption that somehow these are related.
So there you have it. My MacBook pain in a nutshell. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can get ScreenSaver control panel to see my screen saver files again, please let me know. I'd much appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!!

Ha!! Found te answer by chance in a post from 2006 where user was having similar problem with desktop/screensaver control panel. The plists to delete are the com.apple.preferences.screensaver..... in the Home>Library>Preferences>ByHost folder. It is this last folder, "ByHost" that I didn't know to check. One I deleted the two screensaver related plist files and opened up the desktop/screensaver control panel, all the missing screensavers were once again listed, my hot corner worked and my keyboard/mouse click issue no longer happens.
OH HAPPY DAY!!

5.1 audio is missing one channel and other stories

Ok, I started another post earlier about this problem, but I thought I'd explain it a different way.
Here's my problem. I go into the MSI Sound Manager and go to the speaker test tab. I click on every speaker and everyone of them works except the REAR RIGHT speaker. No sound comes out. If I put it up to my ear, there's some static but no sound! I tried every version of the Realtek driver under the sun as well as every BIOS update from 1.10 up to 1.9b2.
Here's the second problem:
I RMAed the first board to Newegg and they sent me another one. The second one did the same thing. MSI suggested that I take the mobo out of the case because maybe it was a grounding issue. I did that (had everything hooked up on a phonebook) and it didn't change anything. So, instead of sending back this board too I figured I'd try a Sound card instead. I picked up a turtle beach santa cruz card, disabled the onboard sound and installed this board. On that board, The front and rear channels work but nothing comes out of the center. Am I just so lucky that 3 pieces of sound hardware don't work for me?
All I want is 5.1 sound!
Here's my computer
500W Power Supply: +3.3V 28A, +5V 50A, +12V 18A, -5V 10A, -12V 1A, +5VSB 2.5A
AMD Athlon 3200+
MSI K8T Neo FSR
2x512MB VData PC3200 RAM
eVGA GeForce 6800 GT
NEC DVD Burner
Optowrite CD Burner
250GB IDE WD Hard Drive
Samsung Floppy

microsofts has a sound test program that will test 5.1 channels, and says right front left rear, etc. so if your still missing sounds after two boards, i would examine the jumpers , try both front and then rear jacks, then try the speakers on a different system , also look at speaker calibration and check speackers, physical knobs, fader balance etc..
also i just checked ebay and audigy2's can be had for 30$ or so, and may be worth investigating. are you in the us.
but i have a suspition that the problem is either the jack is not all the way in or speaker related, or a setting, as the chances of two boards with the same problem is slim but not impossible.

VLAN 101 basics for RV110W RV220W RV215W and others

I've been bashing my head against the wall trying to do, what I think are, basic things with a vlan with these boxes. I got it working once on a 110W a while ago, but not really sure how or why it is working / can't recreate it on the RV215W.
At its simplest, I have a server on port 1 of the router, with IP of 192.168.5.2. It and PCs are tied into a switch and working on the 192.168.5.0/24 subnet.
I connect a ubiquiti unifi wireless access point on port 2. It can do 2 seperate SSIDs, each with its own vlan. So let's call the SSIDs 5 and 10. 5 has a password. If you know that password / you connect to ssid 5 and can get on the web AND access the machines on port 1 (and would get an IP address of 192.168.5.0/24). the public SSID of 10 would get IP of 192.168.10.0/24
So SSID / VLAN / subnet 5 is to for the office people to access the server
SSID / VLAN / Subnet 192.168.10.0 is for guests and to keep them from getting to the server.
How do you set up the RVxxxW to allow this?
For ubiqiiti unifi, there is a controller installed on the server (on the .5 subnet) that talks to the access points. So the untagged packets on port 1 have to get to port 2 to get to the WAP.
I had to enable interVlan routing. Doesn't that allow the .10 users (on port 2) to get to the .5 server on port 1?
In the instance I got working, I wound up having 3 VLANS - 1, 5, 10. The 1 VLAN gave out 1.0 subnet IPs and the acecss points show they have the .1 IPs. that is working but not sure how I came up with that and why there needs to be 3 subnets?
And on the RV215W I am working with no, it has intervlan check boxes for each VLAN. Which to check and which to uncheck?
I have locked myself out of / rebooted the RV215W too many times already : ).
How can I ensure not to lock myself out?
THANKS!!

Kremena; Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I set up the 2 VLANs 5 and 10 in the lan configuration page.
Let's keep it simple and let the router do DHCP for both.
As for LAN membership, that's where I get confused.
Port 2 has the access point. Packets from that will be untagged and yes, we need to talk to it from devices on port 1. THe port 1 devices are untagged also, if I am not mistaken.
So on port 2 there are 3 types of data
untagged to / from the access point that should be able to get to port 1 devices
tagged vlan5 that should be able to get to the port 1 devices
tagged vlan10 that should NOT be able to get to port 1 devices.
Wth just 2 subnets / vlans, you can't have those 3 types of data, right?
because based on what you say -
               port1               port 2
vlan 1         ??               ??
vlan 5       untag            untag
vlan 10     block             tag
packets from port 2 that are tagged vlan 5 can't get out of port 2 if it's set to untagged as you mention above?!
Is thatt why I came up with 3 subnets / 3 vlans on the other network?
vlan 1 is subnet 192.168.1.0
vlan 5 is subnet 192.168.5.0
vlan 10 is subnet 192.168.10.0 for guests and kept off port 1
Then
          port1          port2
vlan1     untag          untag
vlan 5     tag               tag
vlan 10     block          tag
then the access point gets a vlan 1 IP address, people with the password through the access point get a vlan 5 / 5.0 IP address and can talk to the hardware on the port1 devices (but wait? the devices on port 1 have 5.0 IP addresses. and are untagged. whill they get to talk to port 2's vlan 5 5.0 devices? Or is that where interVLAN routing comes into play?
My head is spinnging!!

"Print" to pdf function missing in Word and other strange print behaviour

I'm trying to narrow down an issue I'm having with printing. I just noticed that the ability to creat a pdf in Word (print -> save as pdf) has disappeared. The button is now gone for some strange reason. I also noticed when trying to print a Keynote outline, when selecting ColorSync (print -> copies and pages [click and select ColorSync]) all my choices are gone (grayscale, b&w, etc.). Something's obviously wrong, but is it my printer software (HP 7310 aio) or OSX? My guess is the two issues are tied together.
Also, I haven't added any new software to my computer and all software updates have been installed.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have no idea whether this will help you or not, but IF some system software somewhow got corrupted, it should help.
1. Download either OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for Intel or OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for PPC
2. Run disk Utility Verify Disk
3. Run Disk Utility Repair Permissions
4. Reinstall OS 10.4.10 from the combo installer that you downloaded in (1).
5. Run Disk Utility Repair Permissions
6. Run  Software Update to make sure you have all the security patches that were released since the COMBO update was released.
7. If you got downloads in (6), run Disk Utility Repair Permissions
8. See whether you are working now

Pdf WEB PAGES - MISSING SNAPSHOT TOOL (and others)

I recently installed Adobe reader 9 and this has been a severely retrograde move. My university course makes ALL our lecture notes and documents avaialble OVER OUR INTRANET (i.e. as WEB PAGES) as pdf documents - we used to be able to simply click on the link and view them in a webpage, then use the Adobe snapshot tool whenever necessary to extract pictures or text from the notes (which often have ENORMOUS variations in font size and picture resolution WITHIN the ONE DOCUMENT) and paste them into a temporary document in order to blow them up and print them out so we can SEE them. They also often needed to be ROTATED before they could be printed out.
Now however, the Adobe reader 9, when we view these documents IN A WEB PAGE, has NO tools that allow us to do these VERY IMPORTANT MEASURES to make our lecture notes READABLE. All it allows us to do is to print it as it is!
In an incredibly demanding and intensive course, we now have to WASTE TIME we can ILL AFFORD by saving the document (which we DON'T WANT or NEED TO SAVE) and THEN OPEN it, use the tools which suddenly appear in Adobe reader 9 when opening a saved document, do what we need to do to print out something readable, then remember to delete what we've saved.
This we have to do OVER and OVER AGAIN - it is UNELIEVABLY INCONSIDERATE and ANNOYING.
We are already under HUGE pressure in our course, and students in the REAL WORLD do NOT have rich American mummies and daddies who pay all our expenses - we CANT AFFORD to buy every new expensive Adobe program just because our university decides to use pdf for everything.
If anyone has information that there IS a way to do snapshots, rotation etc on a pdf document VIEWED IN A WEB PAGE, could you please advise us here? Thankyou!

Thnakyou for your reply - there's definitley no way the uni will change their standard format, and it's really not their fault anyway. I wanted to re-load Adobe 7 but can't find it anywhere on the Adobe website, and do not want to risk loading it from elsewhere!

Where can we suggest new features for Yahoo Messenger and other RIM IM clients?

I just downloaded the new version of Yahoo Messenger and I like the user interface. But every time a new version comes out, this application creates a less-complete history of contact behavior. Several versions ago, the contact's status showed up in the open conversation, along with the time stamp of when the status changed. This included Idle and Custom Status changes. That disappeared. In the last version, you could see the time the contact signed in or out last, and sometimes both. Now they're gone as soon as you close the conversation.
The whole idea of having Yahoo up on the BlackBerry all the time is that you don't have to be staring at the screen all the time, that you should be able to take it out of your pocket and check out those events that occurred that didn't set off alarms. I'd like the whole contact history to be right there, for as long as I want to keep it active. How can I make this suggestion to RIM for the next version of Yahoo Messenger? Thanks.

About the iPhone and it's "lack of basic features"

There are SO MANY rants going on in this discussing board about the iPhone lacking "basic features" of a cellphone. Here is my response to all of them at once. (I know this has nothing to do with user-to-user technical support, but the topic is discussed on here enough to warrant this post.)
Sure, I would like to be able to send texts messages to multiple contacts, I would love to be able to add my own ringtones, copy and paste, and picture message. Here's the deal, Apple didn't set out to create a product with those features, they didn't set out to create a product that is like all the others or that has all the best features that every other phone has. They started over. They didn't compare it to any other phone. They have said over and over that the iPhone is a completely new product from the ground up. Sure it includes some features that can be found in phones that came before it, but it's all done in a new way. It's not some super phone that combines the best of every smartphone out there. They were very open about this and listed EVERYTHING the phone was going to be capable of. No, they didn't tell you the things that it wouldn't do, that's not the angle they were taking when designing and marketing this product, no one does that. The iPhone does everything they said it would do and does it better than any other phone that has the same features. So how can anyone come on here a gripe about it lacking basic features? The features I listed above are features that someone else reading this may never need or want. Basic features to you are not going to be basic features to me. Basic features 3 years ago are not basic features today nor will they be in 3 years. There are no basic features when it comes to the iPhone, other then perhaps the phone part. When you set out to create a product from the ground up, you don't start with a list of features that need to be included. You start with a blank slate and build on that, from your own ideas, your own technology, not based on what anyone else is doing or what has been done in the past. This is what Apple has done, and they have been very clear about it from day one. So please, if you feel that the iPhone lacks the "basic features" on a cell phone, take it back so that someone else can have that phone and enjoy its "basic features," that are like no other phone before it.

Your posting should have went to the Apple.com feedback section instead of posting it here in the user to user forum, this goes back to doing research on what the iphone can and cannot do before making the purchase you have to remember this is just the first generation iphone just like there was a first generation ipod most likely they'll be enhancements coming up for the iphone i myself am happy with my iphone, how many cell phones out there have visual voicemail?
