E6 Back to Symbian Anna is a Popular Request

Nokia
Can we get an update back to Symbian Anna while Symbian Belle comes out without all the faults mention below?
Try it for a week and see the customers demand,
Please [-O< ,
We're loyal customers as an average this is the fifth device for each user,
I'm planning to sell the current and buy a new without the update

OK, Nokia, just give us Anna functionality then (and a bit more).
At least make Belle look and function like Anna regarding notifications etc. and keep Belle under the hood. There is nothing wrong with Belle performance-wise.
However, to be honest Belle's (visual) notification concept, especially for new Emails, sucks - and blows at the same time! 
Therefore, as there is no proper visual Email notification I often have Nokia Mail as a "homescreen" so I can directly see new emails. I am working with the home, email, contacts and calendar buttons to navigate between the main apps I need most. So, basically all I do request are proper, professional notifications, both for Email and Calendar. 
I barely use more than two or three (of the six) home screens. Nokia Maps, Camera, Nokia City Lens, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile, Quickoffice. That’s one homescreen. I would like both Nokia Mail and Calendar to have fullscreen homescreen functionality - one homescreen each dedicated to Nokia Mail and Calendar plus the clock and date, email and calendar homescreen app from Nokia Anna for the E6's “home” screen. That would be awesome.
Cheers,
Lars

  • Symbian Anna missing split screen keyboard / no sp...

    Dear Nokia,
    It's very good news to have symbian anna in my phone, nokia n8. IT's very well build.
    However, in my country product code, Malaysia, I dont have split screen keyboard appear in every section that should appear in firmware. I have clean all my phone state in zero apps and i flash my n8 with symbian anna together with 1gb memory card content which means i have fresh , pure symbian anna without any system disturbances.
    I update all symbian anna packages in software update, but split screen doesnt appear in most of my country variant.
    Returning back to old PR 1.2, what we had was no smart dialler to easy contact calling. Then in symbian anna again, we still missing split screen keyboard which had been promised to be in symbian anna.
    I have waited this feature for almost 8 months, but misssing this split screen is kind of dissappointment to us.
    I need full explaination how exactly this missing feature happen, I wrote this not for myself, but for whole people who still miss split screen keyboard. I have fresh symbian anna, 0 apps installed, empty memory card, resulting no software conflicts.
    THANKS YOU for Symbian Anna and we still waiting for this missing feature.

    There is no split screen text input on any firmware that has Chinese. So Malaysian, Singapore, China and Indonesian phones all do not support split screen.  Futhermore, the pinyin input does not support portriate qwerty.
    If you install a firmware version which does not support Chinese, you get split screen activated. I have tested both Thailand and Indian versions, both working with split screen.
    Also, the 2 software updates that come after your have installed Anna will not add portrait qwerty.
    Furthermore - this issue has NOTHING to do with swype. Please ignore any message your read which mentions swype.
    I'm from Malaysia, didn't get it either.
    This is very upsetting! Ten months of waiting, this is what Nokia has given us? This silly reason behind not including split-keyboard in our FW variant is not even a reason at all!
    It's an obviously missing feature, and they seem to have not mentioned of this in any of their marketing videos or pages. Should have at least put a disclaimer saying it's not available for us. *Misrepresentation*

  • Does Nokia Co have a solution to E7 Symbian Anna P...

    This will be my last complaint to write about my Nokia E7 and its problems associated with Symbian Anna update.
    I have intalled all the 2 updates but my OVI store does not work, I cannot install applications that I bought when I had symbian^3 firmware and don't want to go into details again.
    My Question to Nokia company is: Do you have a solution to our complaints about symbian anna or not? If you have it what is it not suggestions as you have been giving us. If you don't have a solution can you please release the downgrade to Symbian 3 firmware so that we go back but be happy using the phone as almost everybody in the world is complaining about symbian anna and it seems you are not listening..
    Give us a solution or will sale my lovely Nokia E7 phone after two weeks from today

    Having your phone re-flashed will resolve the issue, that's what I've had to do, and all is well now !

  • How to upgrade symbian anna- to belle?

    my cell phone nokia 500 got hanged and even after reset it got switched off automatically? I was thinking to upgradation,
     Is it save to upgrade Symbian anna to belle?
    or the hanging and virus attack remain same?

    I bought it two days back, yesterday it got hanged, and even after removing the battery it remained hanged. After that I used the code to reset the settings , the cell phone worked fine after that. but today, while I was sending a sms, the cell phone got switched off automatically, and turned on automatically. I m afraid, if the problem didn't get solved I might end up in reselling or either in upgrading the software... what do you sugeest?
    I found Nokia 500 has haning, and turing off and on problem quite come.?

  • E7 file editor problem in symbian anna os

    i can't create new file on file editor after i updated my E7 os with symbian anna. how can i resolve it?

    Try re-installing the software or doing a reset, either may help, but re-intalling the software will be easier and quicker. To reset , back up contacts , calendar and notes ONLY, as a full backup and restore will restore any issues you have, Then dial *#7370# followed by 12345 if required and set up the phone manually, you will lose all data on the phone and have to re-install your apps and media !
    Good Luck

  • How can I un-install Symbian Anna software from C6

    I have updated my nokia c6 device software with Symbian Anna software after that I have facing problem. I want to un-install (revert back to original software) the update.
    Please help me in this.
    Thanks in Advance.

    This question has been answered many times and it boils down to this... if you have a really compelling reason to do the downgrade and state your case to Nokia support there is a small chance that they will accomodate you.  Otherwise you're left to deal with the problem on your own and it is generally not recommended that you fool with flashing yourself.  It's risky and unsupported.

  • Patch for Symbian Anna released? (Nokia E7)

    Hi All
    I am not sure what is going on.
    My E7 was serviced by NOKIA care Point one week ago. Phone came back to me with Symbian Anna and all updates applied (I checked it same day the phone was back)
    Today, when checking Applications>SW Update I noticed this:
    My Question is:
    Is this update about patch for Symbian Anna?
    Because here are details of my system:
    I am confused because same set of updates came from Nokia when I was updating from Symbian^3 to Anna.
    Can any one explain this?

    let me give you some more flashes:
    1. 7370 reset will tell you that all the 3 updates are required.
    2. after doing so, ovi store will not work.
    3. you will scour this forum and find out that you have to install 3 files, in proper sequence, reboot system.
    4. bad luck.
    5. then you will try 3 button reset
    6. WOW. ovi store will work after the similar 3 file anna update
    7. you will call nokia care line
    8. they will tell you that 3 button reset is not nokia recommended and that you will have to "reflash" your device
    9. you will lose your cool, especially after having come from the same place already
    10. then you will scream out loud in this forum.
    11. you will get used to the problem or you will optimistally wait for Belle.
    whew... sometimes, i tend to think that if the above process is standard in one order or the other, there is no need for this forum! nokia can post this in a website itself as a
    if... then... else... code prose!

  • N8 symbian anna software updates is not installing...

    I have downloaded the symbian anna software update & now its getting failed to install the software updates to the phone
    everytime it showS the error while instaling that "CONNECTION TO TE DEVICE WAS LOST"
     please help.
    Mod Edit: font changed.

    Hi there, 
    Try doing a back up of your handset in PC suite. Then reset full factory settings in your device (menu>settings>phone management>factory settings)
    Now do the update with a fully factory restored phone (bear in mind PC Suite can be tempermental)
    If all goes well you can restore your back up after the update. 
    Of course if all else fails, visit a care point and get them to do it for you. 

  • Quick office 7 pro, google maps and symbian anna u...

    i am not able to install Quick office pro 7 after symbian anna update i am getting error "update error".
    For google maps i am able to install, when i click the icon it doesnt open...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Phonehacker was right, should have done the hard reset first: here's the instructions i got from Quickoffice staff
    On some devices the installation issue can be resolved with hard reset.
    If you are willing to proceed a hard reset, here are the instructions:
    1. Back up your phone memory as Nokia recommends at www.Nokia.com.
    2. Reset your phone to factory default: At the main screen, enter *#7370# – The default lock code is 12345. This will restore the device to its original state, removing all user data, contacts,and third-party applications you may have installed.
    3. Install Quickoffice 7.
    Please reboot (turn off/on) your device when you complete the installation.
    Verify that Quickoffice works by seeing if you can create a new document. To do this, open Quickoffice and select New Document.
    You can also verify the version of Quickoffice that is installed by opening Quickoffice, selecting Options > About or Options > Help > About.
    Once we know that Quickoffice 7 is working correctly, then please do these steps:
    6. Restore the phone memory.
    7. Reboot your device.
    This did work for me just don't forget to backup everything!

  • Nokia E6 or Symbian Anna Bug ?

    Nokia really needs to update nokia E6 Firmware to resolve the bugs regarding no call waiting or divert onscreen notification
    whats wrong guys ?
    This feature is always present in any other cellphone but in Symbian Anna or E6 does`nt show if the caller is already on another call or the calling number is on divert.
    my nokia E5 can show if the number called is on divert or already on call (Waiting notification)
    Nokia kindly reply or anyone can eloborate from Nokia Team or Any Technical Advisor ?
    These two features are really mandatory in any other cellphone but why not in Symbian Anna or Nokia E6 ?

    I live in Bucharest, Romania, and have the same problem since more than two months now! I called Nokia customer support and, after having waited for two weeks, they called me back to say they checked with their "headquarters" and that there's no way the phone has such a problem... That this function works perfectly in Finland etc. They advised me to go to the Nokia Care center to get the phone fixed... So I went there. In order for them not to claim anything else later, I asked the Nokia Care clerk to call another number from his mobile and meanwhile I called him from my old Nokia E71. The "Waiting" sign appeared immediately. Then I put the same SIM card into the brand new Nokia E6 and did the same test but no "Waiting" appeared...!!! They kept my phone there for another 15 days, and, at the end they told me that the Symbian Anna doesn't (yet) support this function... And guess what: I found out the E7 (the new Nokia Communicator) has the same issue.... Why? Because it also carries the... Symbian Anna! Honestly speaking, this "Waiting" function that Nokia had but Blackberry didn't still kept me with Nokia... But with this one gone, I really have no other reasons to stick to Nokia... Pity, Nokia, that you're sinking like this...But before you do, just let me hope for another week: are you going to fix this shortcoming with a new software update or do you really not care anymore???
    Honestly, people: when someone buys the latest, state-of-the-art phone, it expects that it shall feature much more WITHOUT giving up on the main functions that made them what they are... It's like buying an Audi because it has the best 4x4 Quattro system, only to discover that the shiny car doesn't have it anymore and no one has told you...!The fact that you guys at Nokia have put out a phone missing a basic, IMPORTANT function that nearly all previous releases had is abuse of trust to us, your buyers. May I say in my case I felt like I got stolen the money I spent buying this phone... And the Nokia corporate reactions I went through in order to solve this issue were simply pathetic... Too bad, and I'm genuinely bitter with this experience... ! 

  • Typing experience in Symbian Anna and its touch in...

    Coming from a symbian 9.2 device (more exactly the Nokia N95), I've tested Nokia N8 input system before buying it, and I've got very surprised when I've known symbian ^3 had a keyboard layout that simulates the physical alpha numeric keyboard found in non-QWERTY phones (called "alphanumeric keyboard" in Symbian Anna).For an even greater surprise, the "predictive text" feature is also present, what for me, makes "alphanumeric keyboard" the best and fastest one to type.
    Of course QWERTY keyboard is cool, but as I live in Brazil, the keys are smaller (to give room for special characters like ^, ~, `,' and c) if I use Portuguese as the Writing Language.On the other hand, the alphanumeric keyboard.has big keys, that are easily selectable.
    Although "porting" the keyboard to a touch screen environment was very well done by Nokia in my opinion, there are a few features that were availiable for physical keyboards, and that aren't found in its touch screen counterpart.Below are the improvements that could also by ported, allowing an even faster typing experience in Symbian ^3 phones, and that would make typing almost perfect: (everything you read below is based on my experience as an user of a Nokia N8 with Symbian Anna, version 025.007)
    -Multi-touch support for the key pressing.This is the number one addition, and the one I'd choose if only one of the improvements stated here could be done.Currently, only one key can be pressed at a time when typing, and that really slow things down, specially when you alternate keys using both fingers.Commonly, you find out the desired key didn't have its input processed cause you were already holding another key when the later was pressed.In physical keyboards of phones running (for example) Symbian 9.2, at least two keys can be securely pressed at the same time, and both inputs are processed
    -Navigate by word.When Predictive text is active, and you move the cursor to some word, it could be underlined, meaning you could navigate quickly through words, and most importantly, make corrections more easily.Let's imagine you are trying to write the word "congratulations".After typing "congratu", you unwillingly press space, thus going out of the word.If you move the cursor back to it, i doesn't "stick" to the word.Instead, it just navigate through the letters.To complete the word, you'd need to either delete the whole word and rewrite it, or complement it as an independent word (typing with predictive text disabled, for example).If the same behaviour available to physical alphanumeric keyboards were implemented, it would be very easier to correct words, as moving the cursor to some word would cause it to stick to that word, entering immediately into an active prediction of that word.
    - # key as "previous" during prediction.When you are typin some word with predictive text active, * key move forward in the matches list, but # key does absolutely nothing.In Nokia N95, for example, pressing it would go to previous word in list.
    The following isn't a feature that were available in previous phones, it's just an improvement to the input system that could be implemented:
    - Double-click in a word would select it, and a triple-click would select the whole text.It's possible in an other operating system for phones, and that makes it very easy to select text.
    Please post your tips and feelings about the typing system in Symbian ^3 (related to touch input system).
    Note: This goal of this post is to state some things that counld be improved by Nokia when releasing new updates

  • Symbian Anna update 1/2 failed to install

    The story so far. I did the first round Anna update (around 27 mb i think) OTA cos my Ovi Suite never able to update firmware on my n8 since trying to update it to PR 1.2, and I did try reinstalling, redownload, reboot PC, reg clean, ccleaner to fix the Suite but it still do not update my firmware at all. But that's another story.
    So I installed the 1st round, n8 rebooted to white screen, rebooted into homesceen with Midnight theme. SW update then shows 4 more items: Anna update 1/2, 2/2, Store and Social. The 1/2 was showing around 20++ mb. So I selected all 4 and update. Halfway through the installing process of 1/2 update (note the download part of 1/2 was very fast), I did plug in the power pin, cos the installation process was damn slow for 1/2. I did not notice wheher it finised installing cos later i checked it was already on 2/2 (downloaded and installing). It then went to the last two items and installed ok.
    Rebooted device, but SW update still showed Anna update 1/2 available (the only one left) and the download size is now 7166 kb. I proceed to update it, it failes with error but no error codes or any message what was the error about. I tried again and again, with fresh reboots, still failes. What gives?
    Even more, split screen not here. I did the uninstalling Swype, activating qwerty mode in portrait, still no split screen.  I do not have any Betalabs apps.
    My Quickoffice & Reader is not here anymore (the app manager not showing them too). Heck I bought the full ver of Quickoffice 6 last time. Wat a waste of my money now that ver 7 is out!!
    Anyone knows how to delete the "dowloaded cache" of SW updates? I want to force SW update to redownload this 1/2 item to try fix this issue.
    Thanks for listening and please help. Cheers!!
    Solved!

    I got the same problem since this morning on both my N8 & just found out solution on a previous update error similar to this & completed the update on one of the N8. Re-trying on another one.
    Working Solution for failed update was found on Flashism's website quoted & "touched up" per below:
    Big thanks to user “Unick” on Nokia Support Forums, who posted a working solution to the problem, and there are couple of successful installs reported from the solution.
    I just deleted folder E:\Private\20019119\. After that I ran SW update on the phone & it restarted download of Symbian Anna Update 1/2 & 2/2 as well as Social, they  finished updates successfully.
    To delete the mentioned folder, follow these simple steps:
    • Connect your Nokia N8/C7 in Mass Storage mode to PC via USB cable
    • Locate and delete folder named “20019119″ under \Private folder of Mass Storage
    • Unplug the device from PC, and retry again. It should work.
    However, I still got no popup split keyboard after completing the updates & restarted the phone.

  • Missing features in Symbian Anna (Is it only me? o...

    I installed the Symbian Anna Update which was released yesterday (18th August 2011) and got trough the update process despite the difficulties the Software Updater in my phone caused. After the update I noticed some features are missing:
    (Not Adobe reader or Quickoffice, they were available after the update.)
    1. The animated pop-up notification that I got when I connected to the internet is missing in Symbian anna. (It's really annoying because I can't actually see what access point my phone is using unless I look harder.)
    2. The Games folder is missing (The Icon with the game controller on it)
    3. No wallpaper in the Default "Midnight" Themes.
    4. Homescreen Rotation is a bit jumpy. (The operators name doesn't appear with the rotation animation. It jumps in)
    If anyone encountered any of these problems, please let me know. If you have a solution I'd really appreciate it. Or if these things are normal. Well I'll wait for a future software update from Nokia.
    I have a Nokia C7-00, I tried reinstalling the Software update and Soft-Resetting but non of it worked. Just so you know.
    Thanks,
    Lasiru.

    Hi,
    Seems that you have downloaded an old version of OWB. The new version is 9.2, not 9.0.2 and it is as far as I know only available as a standalone download.
    The version of Developer Suite currently on OTN is more than a year old.
