Few bugs and lacks on my Nokia 5530XM (firm 20.0.8...

Hello everyone, on december I upgraded the firmware on my Nokia 5530 from 11.x to 20.0.80 and luckily lots of bugs I reported were fixed. Now that's the situation:
- Worst problem: When I receive a call and the phone is locked the two bars appears (the green to start the conversation and the blue ones). The problem is that sometimes I just can't reply to the call even if I slide lots of times the finger on the green bar (it seems to be inactive)... but the blue one works!
- The switch between the normal and the landscape display mode is still too slow and inaccurate It takes two seconds to "rotate" the display (or sometimes it does not rotate at all .-.) and lots of times it rotates unintentionally (or because I rotated the phone for very few degrees, for examples when I take it out the pocket)... veeery annoiyng .-.
- Is it possible to improve the global speed of the phone? Sometime the kinetic scroll lags and normal applications takes more time to start (even if I haven't programs running in background).
- I've got two email profiles on the Messages, and when I connect to one of this the phone notifies the presence of new email (if any). The problem is that the little symbol of "new emails" on top-right corner of the home screen remains active also if I read all the messages and I close the connection.
I need to restart the phone to make it disappear.
Thank u so much for attention

Nokia 5530 bugs and lacks

Have it for almost a week and faced some problems noticed till current moment.
Bugs.
1. Autocomplete doesn't work on S60 browser addressbar. You can only select first item from popup list.
2. Password fields won't let you enter non-latin symbols.
3. LED won't stop blinking even after incoming message was read. It will stop blinking after you unlock the phone once again.
Important lacks
1. XpressMusic player lacks of current queue feature. Be it not XpressMusic I would say nothing, but you can't view currently playing list and you can't add to current queue.
2. No kinetic scrolling in main menu. I have 50 icons in application menu and it's very problematic to scroll them as the display is sunk a bit. Even my small fingure miss the scrollbar at least 1/3 of attempts to scroll it.
3. S60 browser does not support IDNs. It's not so important at the moment, but Cyrillic TLD zone is expected to run in november this year.
Some noticed misses
1. No preentered local ccTLD in S60 browser autocomplete in localized firmware. Only com, net and org.If it's Russian language on the device then ru should be in list already, if it's German, then deshould be in list. Etc.
2. No preinstalled dictionaries in localised firmwares.

regs U didn't understand the irony from the 'low-cost' words. They sayed it will be a cheap phone. When Nokia anunced the phone they sayed it will be a cheap phone. They pull out from 5800 the: gps, 3g ,better camera and they put a smaller screen even from the package they removed the plastic case,the spare stylus and the plastic desk holder and Voila a cheap phone. If u compare it to 5800 and his package results an very expensive phone.And if u take a look is a phone with a lot of bugs. I DON'T WANT TO BE VERY CITICALLY BUT THIS TIME NOKIA REALY IRRITATED ME.

Nokia 5530XM firm 30.0.009: improvements but also ...

Hello, thanks Nokia to give us a ported version of the v50 firmware from 5800 to 5530... with brand new Music Player, better Browser, general improvements...
But this has also led some bugs, namely:
- When I write a message in the portait interface, with T9 turned on, after writing few words most of the times the cursor starts to go back to the first letter of the message, then it reappears at the end and still go back along the message.... WHAT THE HELL?
- My ringtone is an mp3 saved in the phone memory, in the past firmware everything was ok, but now happens that during a call it gets replaced with the default "Nokia Tune"! (not always, btw).
- Open the Gallery means to wait LOOOOTS OF TIME!!!! I've got about 30 pics in the main folder... and it takes 20-30-40 SECONDS to load!!! Too much, in my opinion......
Thank u so much for your attention

Nokia Music / MIX Radio Bugs and BUGS at Care Cent...

I am feeling absilutely dejected to have bought a Lumia 820.
It has been a year and over but still Nokia has not been able to provide solutions to generic and chronic problems. I have been asking for solution to the music problem since a year but no answer but today at last when i visited nokia care centre (Bohra Communications, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad) IT WAS A COMPLETE LET DOWN ! The guy who received me was a total Noob and illitrate and also all engineers (They didnt even know Amber, Black and whether it can be rolled back or not One guy asked another "Boss can we have Amber in 820 after Reset?. They just did not know anything. I am proud that I have more knowledge about updates and firmwares of my handsets.
My chronic problem was MUSIC ( Duplicating/ Dissappearing / Showing errors etc etc)
My music (downloaded from Nokia music only gets lost, shows errors and moves to other storage folder. I had "Lumia Black" updated OTA.
I bought this lumia for the free music subscription for a year and the person at the service centre said it is wrong. Whatever, but he said that the issue was with subscription. He did not understand that errors "c00d36c4" "player error" etc are not because of subscription but are bugs .....
My phone has been reset (hard reset) for more than 5 times in past month and thats what i do all day. NOKIA IS GREAT !! However just an hour back the Bohra communication care centre again did the same. What the HECK is happening ?
FORGET GETTING SOLUTION, PEOPLE DO NOT EVEN LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND.
I am desparately seeking to throw this NOKIA + MICROSOFT junk away and opt for other.
What did I gain buying a MS Nokia product ? No music since over a year and now additionally after reset the backup also is lost. Last time I did I had to update 23 apps and this time its down to only 8 apps !!!!
God Only Save.
To own a Lumia 820.... U need to have highest levels of Courage !

I am constantly getting the problem you talk about in your second para. I don't experience it if I'm playing Nokia's own Offline selections, but it has been happening constantly over the past few weeks if I use the Create A Mix selections that I have downloaded for offline listening.
Recently both the Offline Mixes and Create A Mix selections reduced themselves suddenly to four or five tracks only in each Mix! Like you, I had to delete everything and download all again. Chews up my data allowance.
Nokia's offline mixes don't appear to download using a free WiFi connection - is that normal? I really have to watch my data allowance. Offline mixes will now expire after 10 days it seems.
Altogether Nokia Mix Radio appears to be full of bugs. I hope their software people are reading...

Nokia 1520 shortcomings and lack of proper support

I have been given a Nokia 1520 as a gift (after i had suggested i liked it). I have owned it for 3 weeks roughly and it's been a total saddening experience. Amongst the countless issues i am meeting are:
- The infamous oversensitive display issue. Can't type any sms or email straigth without having multiple characters repeated over and over. This also means that while i try to scroll the screen i happen to open unwanted apps or unwanted links in the browser or in newsreaders. Also, trying to select a tile to resize/unpin it, it most often results in opening it countless times before i actually manage to unpin.
- Lack of a keyboard allowing me to input Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (It was requested in 2011, ie 3 years ago).
- Timed stroke writing for chinese characters means that if you are too slow (as most westerners writing chinese are) you can't even write characters (maximum timing is 0,8 secs).
- Lack of any form of quick input like swiping or so. Multiple issues also at downloading languages for the keyboard. A nightmare.
- The OS won't allow users to select single words or place the cursor in a specific position inside a word. This can be done in some places but not everywhere.
- Bing Translator honestly sucks and there is a huge shortage of dictionaries and language related resources in the market (nothing comparable to Pleco or Hanping
- Lack of a decent notification bar and a LED telling people they got mail or messages or calls when the phone is muted. This caused me to lose two important jobs.
- Very poor/shaky reception for the phone and Internet. Where my Galaxy Note 2 works full broadband, the Nokia connection goes up and down or is none at all.
- I took the device to Nokia Support Centre in Taipei and the person in charge was a kid who not only didn't know anything about the, now well known, issues of the device but he also got very arrogant, talking carelessly and with a very bad attitude and claiming "people shouldn't buy phones without being able to use them" and "if you tried it before why you complain now?". Tested the phone for 2 seconds and he decided it had no issues, so apparently no chances to have the phone sent for a repair/substitution.
Is this the path Nokia and Microsoft are taking with Windows Phone?
I am so disappointed that i am considering reselling the thing and going back from where i came from, IE Android.
It's a shame Nokia hasn't learned how to treat users yet. I am particularly disappointed at the defective device and at the attitude of the part time, lazy, sleepy teenagers they use in Taipei to cover the service making customers run (or worse since some of those guys really push your patience far above the limits, maybe they don't like foreigners or they are scared at speaking English, whatever it is, it's very uneasy and unpleasant). I have never seen such a bad service for a such a malfunctioning device in my life. I have owned maybe 20 or more devices to date (including old Windows Phones) and never had so many negative experiences piled up all together at the same time
I just wish i had been given a device with some other OS rather than a device with a Beta version of an OS supported by part time staff.

This would appear to be a genuine issue with the 1520. Do not have one so could not comment
- Yes indeed i can grant you it's genuine. Haven't sent an email in the last 2 weeks. Just too frustrating.
I know there is several Chinese language settings but as I am not Chinese could not comment beyond this is not something Nokia could do anything about as it is a core OS issue and not a hardware/firmware one.
- Well, it's easy to see if you have doubts. Enter: Settings-Keyboard and go search for any form of input that says "Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (PinYIn is the romanization of chinese characters. You type say "Wo" and the chinese character for "I" pops up amongst other choices. This has been existing from day 1 in any decent keyboard. It has been requested at MS suggestion board 3 years ago. Is still to be implemented. I find it hard to think how they can sell these phones here (especially considering the relations between China and Taiwan and the fact they use simplified/traditional respectively). It's not only a mad marketing move, it's also politically sensitive. No one normal does that here, believe me.
There's several swiping keyboard shortcuts such as typing special characters or numerals (tap hold the 123 key and swipe to the desired character)
- Sure, then do one thing. Download any swiping keyboard on an Android device and then compare the speed at which you type and amend words. The WP keyboard is primitive. The fact you can't resize it combined with the screen oversensitiveness make it useless. Other Nokias are much much better, but you can't beat a real swipe keyboard, especially if you type as a profession. How can someone use such a keyboard on a device in 2014 is beyond me and and anyone else who has used an Android but even a Blackberry in old times. It's simply inefficient compared to anything else out there. Then we can argue on what we like or not but surely not on its lack of productivity compared to else (whatever else)
As long as the app does not use it's own code anywhere you want to enter text tap and hold to have the cursor appear and swipe to the location wanted.
- Then do a test. Take an email sent by someone else. Then go to the portion of text he sent you in the REPLY mail you are writing and try to select one of the SENDER's words. You'll see it's impossible. Then move down and try to select a single word of your reply. You'll see it can be done. Different menus pop up based on where you are or which app you are.
Same is TEXT PREDICTION. It works in some places, doesn't in others, even when you'd need it
Never used it, as far as I heard especially since tha latest (recent) update this got a lot better)
You don't. Try to be a foreigner permanently based abroad and the usefulness of these tools (Dictionaries, translators, etc.) will appear immediately, especially when you have to handle or even study characters based on ideograms. Now, Android (Which i insist in saying i don't like due to their philosophy), offers not only a good mobile translating app (including a function where you take a picture then just scroll your finger on the words you want to be translated and translation pops up in a moment) but if you don't like it you can also find a wide choice of tools (Pleco and Hanping being among them and their developers having no intention to expand on WP for now and some not even in the future). In this perspective, what for you is useless or secondary, for people like me (and other expats who do business and work abroad) is a killer application. Google got it. Microsoft and Nokia, it seems, don't.
Never understood the obsession with a notification bar when your apps and services all give up constant updates and notifications on their tiles. I would not want a blinking light on my phone ever. If you are unable to check your phone even once an hour that is really not the phone or OS problem. Don't try and pin your own negligence on the phone that just makes you look silly.
Let's try to be constructive. This OS must not be built based on what you as Blog Admin like or don't like. It has to be built to cater for a wide range of users. Now, you don't like that led because apparently your tiles make you happy. I, don't spend all my day watching tiles. I work too so the phone goes in standby and since it's permanently muted (no ring, no vibration), LED is key to understand when i get emails or sms' or other notifications. I am not asking a multicolour LED as in Samsung devices (which allow you to assign a colour and vibration combination to different accounts so you understand based on colour and vibration what is important and what is not; but at least a basic primitve LED telling people "Hey you got mail or SMS". If it's not a LED, a screen notification waking up the phone from standby would to as well. As far as i know it's not present. It was present in many Android devices as both standard or third party app since the very first basic versions.
So you use a Note2 and 1520 at the same time? this may well have nothing to do with the phone and it won't be the first time it turns out a WiFi router is actually at fault.
So what do you do? Go to Starbucks and tell everyone to stop using the free Wi-Fi because your Nokia 1520 needs a dedicated connection and i threaten to suit Starbucks for not letting the King have the whole bandwidth for itself?
Galaxy works fine. Nokia doesn't, especially when broadband gets weaker (Taipei has Wi-Fi also on Metro wagons and any restaurant or other outlet you may think of). Core point is everyone is there reading their content on their mobiles. I am there trafficking with settings and **bleep**. Ended up using my Galaxy which works fine.
Those are not Nokia owned nor operated stores, go complain to them
Let me explain you a basic of marketing so you understand when it's not the case to defend a brand beyond reasonable limits even when you administer their blog.
If i, as a customer, enter a BLUE SHOP carrying a big, huge, NOKIA brand with all people wearing Nokia shirts i (and the other 23 million users who almost stopped to buy Nokia in Taiwan) assume whoever is running it, is running it on behalf of Nokia (Officially or unoficially doesn't matter as they get the license to sell from Nokia in any case). So, if your licensee works good, people are happy and buy more; if the staff shows signs of laziness, arrogance, treating adults without respect, showing ignorance on device's issues (They didn't even know about the global issue of oversensitiveness or about keyboards...the phone was an alien in their hands), people RUN. And i did RUN.
If you combine the bad support with the fact that the device is actually malfunctioning and lacks a lot of basic functions that in 2014 are given for granted, i beg to think that the only users left once they try the phone for one or two weeks will be some Fans of the brand and a few people who need it to watch movies and take pictures but you don't need a phablet for that. When you sell a bad device and have an as bad support that instead of solving the issue denies it you are turning the market in a self-help environment where users get angered (And you can see how many there are about Lumias and 1520 starting to get on top of the list). So, as much as you and I may stay argue in your blog, i think that if this issue is not solved this OS doesn't have much future.
Finally, a phablet is a sophisticated device where screen size, hardware and software package combine to offer a certain experience that ranges from entertainment to work IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT (Not in your garden, in your living room or when you show off the device to friends to let them see all those useless tiles which you can't even interact with as they open when you want to resize them etc. due to the bad screen). It means the device must be ready and functional in your country or in mine or wherever you live. In this case, Galaxy and their cheap plastic trash got it right with the Note family. Others like HTC and Nokia are lagging behind and 1520 in this respect is not helping people who want to jump from Android to Windows Phone to make that jump.
Test the device simulating the job a professional user doess (typing mails all the time, text messages, interacting with web content, copy/paste, translating and sharing data, sending data to other apps in a snap), then multiply that for 7 days a week and then experience the frustration accumulating day after day. In my case, this is further amplified by the fact that i come from a device that has spoilt me allowing me to do things in a snap.
This phone, as is, is no game!

Fix a few bugs related to the interaction between IPlayable, IPausable, and ITemporal within a SerialElement, specifically around ensuring that the transition from child to child happens in the various permutations of these traits. Introduce a helper class for managing this logic, as it can happen in both CompositePlayableTrait and CompositeTemporalTrait. This lays the groundwork for a MediaElement which only implements IPlayable (e.g. to ping a tracking server) working within a serial composition. Beef up unit tests so that these cases don't get broken in the future.

Life is a train. You can choose your path choice, but you can not choose when the track will end...
Where will the track take you?
If my post has answered your question. Please mark it as an answer.

So a number of my apps (ie., United, ES File Explorer, etc..), which worked a few days ago, are now crashing on start-up or shortly thereafter. Have you recorded this bug and is a fix forthcoming? Anxiously awaiting an update.

Nokia 500 houses bugs and glitches

Nokua 500 has became house of bugs and glitches. Some are most frustrating and reinstalling software doesn't work in any way. Seriously, auto-restart bug and freezing bug should be cured soon.

Let me add my 1 cent on your 2.
1. It disconnects calls. You are talking to someone for a few minutes - and BAM, disconnected.
2. The reception is disaster. On places I used to get 4-5 bars of 3G, now even simple, good, old GSM sucks. While you hold the phone on your hand, you can see it jump from 2 bars of 3G, then it goes to GSM 6 bars, and then 0 bars GSM, then 2 bars GSM... All in 10-20 second.

Nokia 5800 XM and LACK OF Nokia 810 Contact Downlo...

I had nokia n82 with this app from nokia 810. I transferred contacts to my BT car kit and it worked perfectly. Now I cannot find such application and cannot transfer contact in any way. I read in forum several different ways, but it didnt help. I tried to install this: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/nokia -810/software I tried to copy contacts by bluetooth (send contact by bluetooth as visit card - when the engine is on or off in any possible ways, reset default settings in car kit and in nokia) IT ALL didn't help. ANY SUGGESTIONS?? LETS MAKE NOKIA DEVELOPERS CREATE NOKIA Contact Download Manager(810) for 5800 XM !!!!!!!

Nokia 616 Contact Download Application for Nokia S60 3.1 edition devices http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/nokia-616-car-kit/car-kit-software
It solves the problem. Found reply on the other forum.

N8 bugs and feedback

Hi there.
I was one of the lucky N8 winners at Qt-Dev-Days in Munich (fact or **bleep** competition) :-) and after using the phone for two weeks I have some bug reports and general feedback. Hopefully this is the proper place to report my problems... Before the n8 I was a n900 user and also had a 5800 XM.
Bugs:
1. The e-mail application and the widget (imap, configured for gmail and email for exchange with a MS server) doesn't sync properly. It knows of new e-mails, but it never deletes old messages unless I click on "synchronize". This behavior doesn't make sense and it's very annoying to keep seeing old e-mails on my inbox if I deleted or archived them (e.g.: via webmail).
2. The calendar (synced via mail-for-exchange) has a problem similar to the e-mail via imap: it know of new entries, but it can't update entries. For example, I have meetings assigned for 6 months on my m-f-e calendar. If one of these meetings is updated (say, the time is changed), the calendar is not updated.
3. On the web browser, there's no way to open links on new windows or create a new browser window. The browser knows how to switch windows if they're open by the website, but there's no way an user can open multiple windows.
4. I don't know how to sync a "mail for exchange" calendar manually, couldn't find it anywhere.
5. While searching for a way to sync my mail-for-exchange calendar, I tried a few "sync" options. I had nothing set up (no ovi account and the phone was not connected to a PC). I canceled every operation it was supposed to start and as a result of an software error somewhere, my full contact list was removed (zeroed). In other words, trying to find a way to sync my calendar, "I" ended up removing all my contacts.
6. After clicking on "Applications" on the menu/grid, it sometimes takes too long to open the next level (the applications menu/grid). I end up clicking a second time and thus opening the video-editor (the next icon gets the "click").
7. The phone keeps switching between wi-fi and 3G a lot, for no good reason. It also froze a few times when switching networks due to a bug somewhere in the network stack. It's a hard-to-reproduce problem, but anyway...
8. The battery status is not calculated correctly. It stays in 100% for too long and starts dropping only after it's close to 80-70%. I believe it's a tradition of Nokia/Symbian phones to keep the level at 100% for longer than expected (so that the user believes the phone is good at battery consumption), but it makes far less sense with smartphones;
9. I don't have a straightforward way to reproduce it, but some received calls are not associated with the respective contact, even though the number is correctly assigned to it (instead, the number is displayed). I even merged the just received call to the contact but new calls were still displayed as the number instead of the proper contact name. It used to work, I don't know why it doesn't anymore.
Main feedback points:
1. There should be no delay when switching "desktops" (workspaces);
2. Some widgets on the homescreen are too small (e-mail, social). There should be an option for double-sized widgets;
3. When answering or making a call, there are too many notifications ("requested modified", "active diverts", etc). I can't make/answer a call and imediatelly put it on speaker due to these;
4.. There's an inconsistency on the way "popup menus" are handled: in some cases clicking outside of the menu closes it, in some other places I have to click on "cancel" (personally, I prefer to just click outside of the menu to close it);
5. If the phone is blocked, I can't answer a call and put it on the speaker. That's very annoying (and the fact that using mail-for-exchange forces me to enable phone blocking doesn't help);
6. The speaker is badly positioned: leaving the phone facing up (speaker is on the back) over a soft surface (e.g: a bed) will make it difficult to hear it.
7. The browser is very very very weak. It's far below the expectations of a smartphone browser these days (usability wise);
8. Skype (I know, I know, it's a third-party application) is very buggy (lots of problems: internet connection, rendering problems, sensors not working, etc).
That said, I still have faith in this phone. The hardware is great (camera, GPS, industrial design in general) but as usual the software is the bad guy. Hopefully the next updates will improve the usability and reliability of the phone.
Cheers.

Very good analysis!!
I agree with your points I have the same problems! AND MORE
3. I also add that it is bugged and often just kicks me out, some pages are impossible to open as it keeps on kicking me out!!! Does not support column view, makes it tedious to read! The solution for now is use Opera mobile.
8- Yes, also the bars are very confusing and do not correspond to the percentages. It could show 6 ou of 7 bars (almos full), but when you look up the percentage is shows 40%!!
9- This problem could come from the fact that the number is introduced twice in our contacts, search and make sure it is not duplicated.
Fed backs
2- most of all there should be some way to easily indicate that we have new mail!! Like it does for missed calls and messages.
3- I hate the Nokia prompts, I do not understand they keep them on new models!!! Ridiculous! Still we now have less and are faster to disappear than what it was on the N95
5- I have the same problem!!! How come it was overlooked. All calling functions should be available when a call is received!
6- Skype and other applications are bugged and do not work properly, the worst for Skype is that you cannot have it connect to Wifi unless you put wifi as principal connection, a tediuos procedure. But Panorama is developed by Nokia and you can find it in OVI store, complete **bleep**!!!
I also add that one cannot select several SMS and delete them, you have to delete all or do it one by one!! Ridiculous
Managing Wifi in general is tedious
Even though you designate Opera as the default browser, it is not always so!
Here is more on the email server:
Sorry to inform that the Nokia N8 email server is inefficient and full of bugs:
1- When you want to open an email, you often get the retrieve sign and this could take up to several minutes! You get it again every time you want to answer or forward an email!
2- Some times emails get stuck in the "outbox". When this happens you are in deep trouble as the only thing you can do is erase it and start all over as it does not allow you to open it (unable to open while sending message), unable to move it to another folder and send it again, unable to force send it!
3- I set push email off from 10:30 pm to 6:00 am, so normally after 6:00 am, I should automatically get my emails, however it does not until I play with the phone and sometimes even recycle it.
3- It does not offer the resend option and in one has to tap the screen several times in order to get the keyboard for editing purpose
4- Does not have a column/wrap view for reading.
5- On the POP enterprise emails, there the problem is huge! Mega bugs: in addition to the problems/inefficiencies mentioned above, it does not keep a copy of the sent email in the "sent" box! This one is always empty. Does not send a deleted message to the "deleted items" box, emails are just lost in nature! And a couple times, once I downloaded my emails into Outlook on my PC, my Nokia just emptied my Inbox after it synchronized.
WE NEED AN URGENT FIX, ESPETIALLY FOR THE POP EMAIL BUGS. Once all of the above is fixed, then the Nokia N8 email server will be the best in the market (except for setting up POP email compared to BB, but this is just a one time inconvenience...)
Apparently NO BODY IN NOKIA IS LISTENING!!!

Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
- Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
- Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
- Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
- Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
- Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
- when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
- Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
- Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
- faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
- iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
- VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
- Flight tracker widget
- Exchange support (probably in the works)
- Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
- Bluetooth sync
- DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
- Data/File storage with sync
- TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
- Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
-Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
- GPS
- 3G
- LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
- Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
My wish list:
1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
5) Copy and paste.
V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?

Java PDK Bugs and Issues

Here are some bugs and issues I've run across using the JPDK that I thought other
developers should be aware of. The following information comes from using JPDK
1.1 with Oracle Portal Version 3.0.6.3.3 Early Adopter on Windows 2000.
1) Do not use a colon character (':') in the String value returned by the method getTitle( Locale l ) in the class Portlet. Registering the provider will appear to succeed, but when you view the Portlet Repository you will get the following error message:
An Unhandled Exception has occurred. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:
character to number conversion error
Your provider and its portlets will not appear in the Portlet Repository when this error occurs.
Perhaps other characters will cause this error as well.
2) The Provider class method initSession() is supposed to propagate the array of returned Cookies back to the browser. The Cookies are never propagated to the browser. This is a huge road-block for our application and we need to have this problem fixed as there is no workaround.
3) There is a limit to the number of portlets you can have per provider. I initially wrote a provider class that managed 19 portlet classes. However, after registering the provider only 17 portlet classes were loaded by the provider and/or displayed by the Portlet Repository. I had to create a second provider to manage additional portlets. The second provider worked out fine for me because I have 5 portlets that are for "administrator" users only. Moving these portlets left 14 portlets for the first provider to manage.
Note: I don't know if this error occurs using the provider.xml method of implementing a provider and its portlets. My provider and portlets are implemented directly using the Java class API's.
4) Sometimes I will receive the error "Meta data missing for portlet ID=<number>" when a portlet is rendered for the first time. This error does not occur often but when the error happens two conditions are met:
a) The portlet is being rendered for the first time
b) The HTTP and Web Assistant NT services have recently been started.
This error is obviously caused by some timeout but increasing the timeout values
for both the provider and the portlet has no effect. This error may be restricted to the NT platform.
The following notes are not bugs but issues to be aware of:
1) Make sure you have the "sessiontimeout" parameter defined when declaring the initArgs of a servlet in the zone.properties file and you intend to register your provider with a "Login Frequency" of "Once per User Session". For example:
servlet.urlservlet.initArgs=debuglevel=1,sessiontimeout=1800000
If you leave off the session timeout, Oracle Portal will call your provider's initSession() method for every request constantly generating new a session ID.
2) Currently there is no means to check whether a ProviderUser has administrative
privileges. This feature would be extremely helpful for restricting which portlets a user has access to when the provider's getPortlets() method is called.
3) Currently there is no Java API for storing user and global preferences in the
Oracle database. The JPDK provides a PersonalizationManager class but the method
of storing the preferences needs to be implemented by the developer.
The default Personalization Manager persists user preferences as a file
to disk. However, this method opens up security holes and hinders scaleability.
We got around the security and scalability issues by using Oracle's JDBC
driver to persist user and global preferences to custom tables in the underlying Oracle database.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has run across the cookie propagation issue and has any further insights.
Thanks...

David,
Thank you for your feedback on the JPDK. The information you provide helps us understand how customers are using 9iAS
Portal and its development kits. I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. Since you are using the Early Adopters
release, we wanted to test a few of the bugs and issues on the production release of 9iAS Portal.
1) Using a colon character (:) in the String value returned by the method getTitle(Locale l) returned the ORA-06502 error is a
known issue. This issue actually occurs within 9iAS Portal and should be resolved in the first maintenance release scheduled
for 9iAS Portal.
Waiting on reply from Nilay on #1
2) The Provider class method initSession() not propagating the array of returned cookies back to the browser is an issue that we are currently working on. This bug has been fixed for most cases in the first maintenance release. A 100% fix of this issue is still being worked on.
3) The limit to the number of portlets you can have per provider was an issue in the Early Adopter release, but is no longer an issue with 9iAS Portal production. Upgrade to the production release and you should no longer see this problem.
4) The error "Meta data missing for portlet ID=<number>". I have not seen or heard about others receiving this same message. For this error, can you upgrade to the production version and let me know if you still receive this error message. At that time we can check for differences within the configuration.
Not bug, but issues......
1) You have made a good point with the sessiontimeout parameter. The JPDK uses servlet 2.0 APIs which does not provide access to the sessiontimeout. Currently, you will need to specify the sessiontimeout parameter in the zone.properties file.
2) This is true. Currently there is no means to check whether a ProviderUser has administrative privileges. This is on our features list for future enhancements.
3) This is also true. The DefaultPortletPersonalizationManager was created as a default runtime for developers not used to writing portlet code. It allows developers to write portlet code without concentrating on the underlying framework. Once a developer becomes more experienced with the JPDK and portlet environment, we encourage them to create their own
customization manager. This includes changing how the portlet repository is stored or changing how the user customization is
handled and where it is stored. You have no limitations as long as you follow the guidelines of the PortletPersonalizationManager interface.
I hope this information helped. Again, we appreciate and welcome this type of feedback, it helps us not only locate bugs and issues, but also helps prioritize our enhancement list.

Bug in new version of Nokia Store

There is a bug in the new version of Nokia Store updated recently. When i am using it, it is storing all the images in C Drive>Imagecache>Juniper and wasting my phone memory. Even more frustrating, all apps icons are also showing up in Photos Gallery, crapping all my images. Please fix this bug. My device is Nokia X6-00 with Symbian Latino v7.5 Anna. Thank you.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your feedback. The faulty Store upgrade is no longer available for download
A new Store Client containing the correction to this behaviour will be made available through Store as a download very soon.
The Imagecache/Juniper folder is managed, and will therefore not grow infinitely. The replacement Client will clean out the Imagecache/Juniper folder so the Gallery contents will no longer contain the cached images.

N80: Feeds Client bug and possible solution

Hi everyone,
I've found what appears to be a bug in Feeds Client V. 3.0(0529) in my Nokia N80 Internet Edition.
I've added a couple of feeds when connecting to a WLAN, but when I tried to read those feeds again, this time away from that WLAN range, it didn't even gave me the choice of network connection: it just tried to go back to the same connection without asking.
I deleted that network's entry in Tools->Network->Access points. Because I only had two feed address saved, I've also deleted them.
But this time the phone didn't even allow me to go into the Feeds folder!
What appeared to solve the bug was something like this.
1) Create a new bookmark with the feed address (e.g. Google News). You can delete it later.
2) Start browsing the feed. Your browser should ask what is the network to use, if you've configured that way.
3) You get the feed list, hopefully. If you choose Back, the mobile will show the feed list you've saved (in my case, only the feed I'm reading because I've previously deleted all of them).
This seemed to do it. If you want to be sure, save the new feed in the Feeds folder again, and delete the previous feed.
Hopefully this will allow you to go around the bug and let the Feeds Client think it should access the network connection you want. The problem is, it still only lets you read the feeds through the network connection you've selected!
Regards,
J.B.

A better test would be to move one at a time (Desktop folder) until you find the codec causing the trouble.
Two of my guesses:
Out of date DivX
VLC plug-in
