General feedback about Nokia's philosophy

I haven't found any e-mailadress for feedback from normal costumers. However, I guess it's always interesting to know the reason when a costumer decides not to buy new Nokia devices any more. I also like to publish my feedback in public so others can comment, agree or disagree.
In the past I was always buying recent Nokia phones, I wasn't really totally satisfied but Nokia was the best for me. Even when I had my 6230i I already knew that the software is artificially loocked up. The hardware was and is actually capable to produce more then it does because of software limitations. I always thought it's a shame that phones are artificially loocked up and not like PC where you can change the operating system at no risk to brick the hardware.
Nokia has really great success in protecting their intelecutal property (software, firmware). Other devices such as from the vendor HTC haven't had so much success in loocking up the platform (maybe it also wasn't high on their prioritiy list).
Nokia hasn't ever really updated the software of any device (only firmware bugfixes, but not from feature pack 1 to feature pack 2 or so). If I want to have a higher software version, I have to buy a new phone, that ridiculous.
I could say okay, Nokia has published Symbian now as Open Source. But will any old Symbian devices ever get updated? Do I actually profit from the big and active Open Source communit contributing? No. Actually Nokia only takes the cream topping for itself. It's not going to be a truly open platform.
Other devices, already 4 years or older got recently operating system updates by a big fan community. The devices are now able to run Windows Mobile 6.5 or even Andoid 2.1. It's a shame the producer of the device hasn't provided an updated operating system itself. But Nokias even bigger shame is that their job in locking up the platform was perfect.
Nokia must have recognized that Nokia still has a big fan community. They always find a way to hack the firmware, so they can play arround with it. I am taling about things like HelloOX and ROMPatcher. But what is Nokia doing? They always give nothing about them, patch the hole and make the firmware unhackable again. They hacked it for a reason, not for fun.
I mean, I bought the phone. Why I am not allowed to get the maximum out of the hardware? Why Nokia is trying to limit me? Are the protected rights, the goals of it more worth then satified costumers buying a new device again?
Nokia should rather open the platform. Include methods to protect the hardware from being bricked by bogous operating system upgrades and the ability to go always easly back to an original firmware. Just like PC, where you hardly brick anthing beside the BIOS update (which is also only a conteptual and not a technical problem).
I am not talking about how I feel about the new free Ovi Maps, just for some devices while others have to pay.
Yes... Nokia wants to sell more devices. Want me to buy new deices. That's why they act like they do. But whats happening that I am looking for alternatives.
There is no vendor with a fair updating policy. None is going to tell you exactly for how long or to which version the operating system is going to be updated. There is only one truly open platform, the OpenMoko devices. To bad that it looks they haven't had too much success. But there are vendors which have more or less open platforms.
I think at some day phones hardware will be like PC hardware. You still buy the phone preinstalled with a default operating system, but you can choose an update your operating system later anyway. The phone vendors are just slowing down the process, but not stopping.

Hacking is not allowed for your own protection. If you do hack it, Nokia waives full responsibility. That's just it. Hack at your own risk.
Nothing further I can say as discussion on such is not allowed here. We could discuss it on some other place, but on these boards.

How to skip "Feedback to Nokia"

The newly purchased Nokia 220 DS began to show on the screen an alert to be sent "Feedback to Nokia" after some timeI. It looks like a notification SMS messages, but there can not be found. It is a message of the same application, which can be traced in the "MENU - SETTINGS - FEEDBACK TO NOKIA ". Even though there is no option to cancel. The only option is to fill out and submit reviews. But sednding always fails, it can be done by connecting to the data network. When I connected to mobile data through Nokia Xpress browser nothing happend and the viewer can not even put "in the background". Do not know how to get rid of this message? I note that it is purchased from official distribution for the country. I do not mind to evaluate the product bothers me is the inability to get rid of it. Restarting or restoring the factory setting is the solution only for a few days. Thank you for your help.
Solved!

Operator: O2 Slovakia.
MMS, Internet, WAP settings I set manually as described on the official O2 slovakia pages.
Access Points:
Internet: o2internet, no proxy, no IP, home address: http://www.o2.sk
WAP: o2wap, proxy on, IP: 10.97.1.11, PORT: 8080 (also tried 9201), home address: http://wap.o2world.sk.
WAP Connection type was set by default HTTP - it did not work. I tried WAP and then I was online.
Roaming also ON.
Slovak web: https://www.o2.sk/pre-vas/sluzby-a-podpora/nastavenia-telefonu/manualne-nastavenie
I tried set the internet and WAP options automatically, but when received message from o2 I was unable to open it from the mobile desktop (and it was not in the message section).
Please notice:
Internet connection is working on my phone. I am able to send the feedback to Nokia via Settings/Send the feedback - there is message that "thank you for your feedback and the operation is finished now". But the problem still stands as descibed before.
I think problem is that I can´t open info messages from the desktop (main display) All options are disabled there, no navigation button is working except for a left upper button "Menu". This is not only Feedback to Nokia issue but for example if I received a message from o2 on automatic settings of WAP or Internet, I was unable open the messages. Only way was to restart the phone and messages were gone...
Thx. (Am about to crash it against the wall now

General feedback for Adobe

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I looked for a place to send general "feedback" and could not find one.
I just wanted to let the management at Adobe know a couple things related to recent Public Relations blunders. Ever since the announcment that you were ending Flash Player for Mobile, I have had many conversations with people about this topic and there is SO much misinformation due to your announcement, it's going to tank Flash as a broader platform.
I've had people say to me :
- Some think Flash doesn't work on Macs
- Some think the Flash player is cancelled on ALL platforms (PC included)
- Some think Flash in its entirety is coming to an end.
This perception seems to come from people of various levels of technical knowledge, from basic users where it's understandable they might be confused about the specifics of the recent news (but still not a good thing!) on up to key decision makers who don't know tech but are key to making certain spending decisions with regard to tech platforms (CEOs).
This is a horrible place for Flash to be in right now and you need to quickly change the perception with a "Flash is alive and well" type of announcement.
Remember, most people only retain sound bites and a few words from headlines. You may have announced "Adobe ends Flash Player for Mobile" originally, but what people retained was "Adobe ends Flash Player". You need to make a new announcement that the short attention span people will come away from with knowledge that all is well. "Flash not dead" for example.
Man, whoever plans your PR needs to be fired. You could have killed off the Mobile player back before the MAX conference and then followed up with the news about Flash Player 11 and Stage 3D. That would have a perfect one-two punch, but instead you reversed it and all the excitement from FP11 @ MAX was blown away.

you need to quickly change the perception with a "Flash is alive and well" type of announcement.
I just had to go back to a customer:   "...remember that detailed proposal about how we could create a sales automation app, and have it run native on your mobiles, as well as your desktops and website, and.... uhhhh, never mind."
I can almost predict future conversations with Customers,   Customer says: "Flash???? Isn't that what Adobe dropped?!?!? That's what you want to build my app on!?!?!"   Customer is thinking: "How can I get rid of this guy... now where did I put that card for the other developer....."
I don't think any amount of PR is going to help at this point. Adobe has all but admitted that the future of development is browser based. Mobile is where the lion's share of development is right now, and at the very least, it needs to be an option.   Flash was already starting to be a harder sell, and now it is going to be impossible. So, for all practical purposes, Flash might as well be dead.

Feedback about official Oracle courses

This is duplicate thread from Feedback about official Oracle courses
I've become official Oracle [url http://gplivna.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-experience-ive-completed-my-first.html]course trainer recently. It was nice experence.
However in my very first course as a trainer I've found at least one incorrectness I'd like to report. The question however is - whom to report?
Obviously this public forum is not the right place.
Unfortunately there wasn't any feedback address (except snail mail) on course materials and my course organizer also could not help. I'd prefer some faster (and easier to perform) communication methods than snail mail, for example, some e-mail address... :)

FAQ: How do I submit a bug report or feature request or otherwise give feedback about Premiere Pro?

The best way to submit a bug report or feature request is to use the bug-report/feature-request form.
The Premiere Pro team doesn’t necessarily see and record every post on every forum and social network, but we do see, record, and track every entry through the the official feature-request/bug-report form.
It also helps a lot if you opt into the Product Improvement Program.
Also, be sure to use the crash reporter.
We really do read all of the bug reports and feature requests, and the software really does get a lot of benefit from detailed crash reports.
Don’t forget about contacting Adobe Technical Support or Customer Service, too. For information on how to contact Adobe Technical Support, see this page. (Note that you must register your product before you can open a technical support case for it.)
If you have tried to get help from our support staff, but the service was inadequate, I can help you to escalate your issue if you send me your case number at kopriva at adobe dot com. You must provide me a case number. I am not offering to solve your problem myself; rather, I am willing to forward your information to someone if you have already hit a dead end with our Technical Support or Customer Service.
If you have feedback about the content of the Premiere Pro Help document, then please add a comment at the bottom of the relevant page. You can add comments to add information, to add links, to make corrections, or to ask for clarification.
If you want to keep up with the Premiere Pro team, then you can follow our blogs, Facebook page, and Twitter feed and so on.
Oh, and I can’t resist this opportunity to remind you to update to the most recent version of the application. Don’t be surprised when the first thing that you hear back from us is that you need to install the latest updates. We fix a lot of things in updates, and we don’t want to go chasing bugs that we’ve already fixed. We’ll keep you posted on our blogs, Facebook page, and Twitter feed about updates as they become available.

Hi qwerty,
Dun tink that creative customer support sucks cos I had been dealing with them in the past and I can say that their service are quite gd and fast. If you wanted a refund, I tink you need to contact the store that sells you the product. Dun tink creative will refund you though.

General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

Hello to everyone,
I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

Feedback about glitches, misbehaviors errors, missing features, bugs

I couldn't find a thread where I could submit feedback about glitches, misbehaviors errors, missing features, bugs (and things of that nature) encountered when using Edge and needed a place where I could collect them writing about them as they happen and before I forget.
This is not a whishlist, rather simply a place where I'd like to send feedback and hopefully get clarifications on something that may be a non working feature, erratic behavior or a bug.
That said here is the first one of them:
Where: Edge Animate > Library>Assets
What: Impossible to remove from the list the folder and/or assets
When: Always
How: After adding asset (add an image to the composition) remove the image from the composition. Then if you would like to remove that asset, there isn't an option to do so. The contextual menu only offer one choice "Reveal in Finder" (on a Mac) which is basically reading the path of the asset and opening the containing folder for the selected asset.
Only removing the file or folder from the location (which Edge has stored as a path) would yield a removal from the list of the Library>Asset The item will be removed from the list when, upon right clicking and selecting "Reveal in Finder" Edge will not find the asset and ask the user if they want to reload the content of that list which basically will refresh the pointers and if the asset won't be found then the entry for it will be removed from the list. (Quite a cumbersome hoop-jumping just to remove an asset from the list)
Why: Users wanting to manage and update the content of the Assets may want to see some listed but may want to ignore other entries that have been replaced with different assets, but they want to keep the files within the folder where they were originally placed.
For instance adding images 001.jpg through 100.jpg and later removing all odd images or even ones from the composition, the Library will still list them in the assets unless removed from that folder "physically" and placing them somewhere else doing an "update" in the library pane later as explained above. Leaving the unused assets in the list when not necessary adds to clutter and having to perform a manual workaround to update the UI isn't very efficient
(a minor missing feature... not a feature request to start this feedback thread)
Hope this helps keep track of issues, but if there's a better way/system, will be glad to use that instead.
Cheers!

Bug Reporting (is there anywhere users can provide feedback about bugs/program's glitches?)
Not knowing where to list what would appear to be bugs/glitches I'll keep adding them here and hopefully someone at the Edge Team will look into it eventually as time allows
Issue: Min W in Symbols' stage property won't stick to percentage.
To reproduce behavior:
- Create symbol,
- Double click to edit created symbol,
- When in Symbol Edit mode, click on the stage (once),
- Edit the Min W of the symbol's stage properties on the left "Properties" panel,
- Without changing the value (which will be zero), toggle px to percentage,
- Save your project,
...et voilà by magic the property you just toggled reverts itself to px
(To make it stick apparently it's necessary to change the value in the text field then toggle px to % and it will be properly kept when saving.)
side note: I don't know if that's something that can be a factor in causing the glitch, but each time a project is saved and a the user is "inside" a symbol's stage, the values in the properties panel will display the main stage properties and then will go load again the properties of the symbol being edited.
Cheers!

Hi Bpaitin,
Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
Cheers,

Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

Hi,
I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones. Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc. Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
Thanks again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward messages to the BB.
Those are basically the options.
Hope that helps! Let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

HT4623 I go into General, then About, but there is no option for Software Update! How do I get this, as without it appears I can't update OIS?

The how to update the operating system (oIS) says to go into General, then About, and then Software Update. But my iPad doesn't have this option. Can anyone help?

That feature isn't present until you have installed iOS 5 or later. You must upgrade via iTunes and your computer.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

How can a guest leave feedback about the seller?

My question is: How can I leave feedback about a seller if I purchased the item as a guest?I've phoned e-Bay about why there isn't a link in my account to leave a comment, but they say I bought the items from signed in a "guest". I remember now that I forgot what my password was, and instead of trying to find out what it was, I just clicked on the option to "buy as a guest". So now there is no record of my buying anything from the seller in my e-Bay account. My purchase history when I go into my order history is blank. E-Bay told me because there is no item to "click" on in my order history, I can't connect to the Feedback link to leave a comment.E-Bay sent me a link to see the purchase that I made as a guest, but when I click on the "Give feedback" button beside the item I bought, all it does is send me back to my account, where there is no record of the purchase! So all I have done is gone around in a circle, back to the start of the problem again!Is there some way around this, so that I can leave feedback about my seller? He was very prompt about refunding me, and I want others to know how honest he is.Thank you for any help you can offer.

You could send the seller a personal email, letting her know that you were pleased by the transaction, but buying as a guest meant you cannot leave feedback.Feedback is voluntary, but that personal touch will probably mean a lot to her.

On Placing Text - General Feedback and Experience Request

Hi everyone.
Recently I completed a Kindle book made through InDesign, containing some 130 images and over 40,000 words. When I typed the book, I did so using MS Word largely because I wanted automatic management of citations, which I did using a Zotero plugin. The writing process was as good as any writing process could ever be, but once I began placing the text (as a Word document) into InDesign, I quickly experienced the "love-hate" relationship described by David Blatner in one of his courses.
I suffered a tremendous amount of trouble when placing the Word docs into InDesign. After I completed the book and placed it into InDesign, and then formatted it properly for ePub, the Table of Contents would not generate. Each time I attempted to generate the TOC, InDesign crashed. Eventually I grew tired of that experience so I pasted all of the Word text into Notepad++, saved a new file as a plain text file, and then copied and pasted the plain text into InDesign and then manually reformatted the entire book, replacing each individual image.
The result of my labor was an InDesign book with clean code that exported to ePub without any trouble at all. So I'm very happy that I was able to complete the project.
Now, I need to do it again, so I wanted to ask for your general feedback on your experience of placing text into InDesign.
Is there a special way you have developed to keep everything as clean as possible to reduce the chances of unexpected problems from occuring?
I can write a book using Apache Open Office as easily as I can Word. If I use Apache Open Office and save the book to RTF and place it, would I get a cleaner InDesign file than if I saved and placed the RTF using Word?
I'm just seeking general feedback that may help ease my future workload.
Thanks

We often get word files to be "converted" to Indesign (now CC for us but in Windows). We have a macro running which converts lots of styles to char styles (italic, bold ...) before importing.
We have a template made in CC and afterwards exported it as rtf. We saved that rft as a word-template. This template works fine, but many of the "special feature" of Word cause problems, mainly because either ID doesn't recognize the code, or ID makes something else for it. Clearing this isn't simple, if it's a short story, we convert all the text to a basic para style (no grep styles, no nested styles), getting rid of all the "overrides", and start by manually reformatting.
My advice: if you start from scratch, use ID from the start, maybe some "things" will be more difficult, but as you put it, if you have to start all over again, it didn't help a lot typing the text in "word" first.

Hello Pllumb,
It sounds like you are unable to turn on Wi-Fi because the option is grayed out in Settings. Use these steps from the following article named:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

General Question about SAP Documentation. Where to find?

Hello,
I am relatively new in the SAP business and so I have some general questions about the SAP Documentation.
Often internet-links like
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf
are posted here by group members.
But where do these group members find these documents?
All I can see at help.sap.com is IDES (the model company created by SAP)and the WWW-version of the SAP-Bibliothek.
Were can I find these PDF-Files?
I would appreciate any hint and tip!
Thank you!
