I want the old Symbian interface again

I have nothing against Symbian Belle (Nokia Belle) as an Os. But I do have comments about its user interface. The user interface of Symbian Belle is terrable, it is inefficient in many, many ways. The best examples of that are the new clock. That people have nothing to do with as there is an clock in the corner of the screen. Why this is I do not know. But it is terrable and has not usage benifits what so ever. It is also that this removed highly functunal clock that was already in Symbian Anna, along with other highly useful user interface that was in place there.
Then there is an other example. The new reminder is terrable, as it is only able to show one event at the time. Why that is I do not know. But that is an huge drawback and limites functunatly greatly. I do not think that this is like this on other mobile Os out there. But I am not sure.
The new bar and the drag down menu is not an good idea. It has no functionality, it just adds more steps that the user has to take get to the functions it displays. I do not like anything about it. The new signal bar is also hard to read, specally if there is an bad signal. The dots is almost impossible to read. Even if there is a good signal in place. This was not the case with Symbian Anna, the signal level and battery level bars where clear and easy to read and the space between them was utilized properly. Now both are diffucult to read in order to figure out how a lot battery there is left or what the signal strength is.
There are more problems with Nokia Belle. But I am not going to get into them here. But I find that in the whole, the user interface presented in Nokia Belle to be huge dissapointment. I wish that Nokia would offer an decent way to downgrade from Symbian Belle, after all. Mobile phones are just computers that can be re-programmed like any other computer out there.

If I had known about this changes before I upgraded. I would have skipped it for some while now. While the most of the current bug would have been fixed and any outstanding major issues would have been resolved.
I do not like this new interface as I already sad. I have been checking the current look. From what I can tell it is the same now as on cheaper Nokia phones (C2-02 as an example that I have handy). That is, signal bar and battery side by side. Along with other notifactions. This works great on cheaper phones, as they have smaller screen. On larger screens as that are on Nokia N8 this does not work so well, as the icons are smaller as an resault. That makes them hard to read, This mostly applies to the signal bar and the clock. The Android style information bar has no usage to it in my view.
If I had known this. I would not have upgraded. I am going to get me a new Nokia N8 in few months time for a other phone number that I have (as I want to have fast phones in two countries when I travel between them). If that phone has new enough version of Symbian Anna (25.7). I am not going to upgrade its firmware. If it comes with Symbian Belle, then so be it.
As for Symbian Belle I really would like an theme option to change back to older interface. I find the Symbian Belle system in its own good. Besides bugs in the media section of it that needs to be fixed soon as possible (both video and audio player).

  • My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop down menu back. I can't search for anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless to me now.

    Firefox software update appeared. I allowed it to be installed. It screwed up the search bar/box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL the search engine options would appear and I could easily chose one. It was easy. Now nothing. I cannot search anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. Do I have to go out and spend another $1000 to get a new computer? This is not right. You should not do this to a person. Not everybody is technically advanced as some of you are. Now I have no means of searching for anything using Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your software update messed me all up. So what am I supposed to do???????????????? IE is worthless. Not safe, not secure, can't trust it. Never works right. Can't even print out correctly. Firefox update should not have messed up my computer. I need to make searches and now I can't. I mean it, it really is not right. So, just for you so called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the little, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is blank. Blank, blank, blank. No longer the quick drop down window with all the available search engine selections. Got it? That's why I've repeated myself. Have a real nice day!

    See this KB article to learn how the new Search Bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
    If you want the old Search Bar scheme back do this.
    Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
    '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
    Then restart Firefox.

  • Did bug fix for add-ons after downloading new version. FB games do not work & add-ons still gone. I want the old version back. How can I do this?

    Downloaded version 7 today. All add-ons are gone, not disabled, but gone. The bug fix offered in this instance tells me to go look for updates. I have, and I'm totally up to date, so now I don't know what to do. The add-ons are still gone, and my games in FB are also malfunctioning. I click on a button in the game and nothing happens. I can't even play them like this. I have playing all morning, and this only happened AFTER I updated to the latest Firefox browser 7. I want the old version back, but cannot figure out a way to do this. I am mad right now and want the option to go back to the old version. If I can't get it, I guess I'll go back to IE. Thanks....

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I want the old iTunes App back!

    Hi,
    I'm using Windows XP and for years I've had no problem with the iTunes App. Either on my PC or synching with my iPhone.
    Now this new Version 11 will not allow me to get into the iTunes Stores. (Yes, I have v11.01.12)
    I can play music but not get the front screen to the iTunes store.
    I can login and out and see my account balance at the top.
    The status bar moves to 3/4 when accessing the store (after showing my login and balance) the bottom window stays white, then it crashes with an error message.
    I have...
    (1) restarted my computer multiple times
    (2) applied the Autoruns to find only Apple's Bonjour there
    (3) I have contacted my Virus App Company ZoneAlarms to be shown how to allow all Apple's sites access through my Firewall
    (4) I have run the Windows Enable/Disable Fix (both ways) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2639417 and tested this against iTunes multiple times
    (5) I have checked that my XP (SP3) OS is up to date
    NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO WORK THIS HARD FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S EXPERIMENTAL VERSION OF A APP WITH THE END RESULT BEING THE END USER (ME) CONSTANTLY GIVING APPLE MONEY BY USING IT. (By d'ling from the ITunes Store)
    This version App 11 is so slow to open compared to the old version. When closing it leaves 2 icons in the system tray.
    I want the old understandable, fully functioning iTunes for PC App back.
    Apple are losing business as we speak. Other people are trying all these workarounds for their development team and not getting anywhere either.
    I need a link to the old App please. I've had enough of this poorly thought out version. This version isn't an improvement. It's a slow, confusing, ill functioning mess.
    MrW
    (Spend some of your own money and contact ME Apple....this is rubbish)

    Hi Caroline--
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    To see shared music, you need to open iTunes' preferences and enable the "Show: Radio" checkbox in the "General" pane. That seems to affect whether iTunes will look for shared music.
    Also, I've found that with iTunes 5, I sometimes need to relaunch iTunes on the "server" machine for the other copies of iTunes on the network to recognize its shared library.

  • Yahoo is my home page. I updated to the new version of firefox per yahoo and now my tool bar has changed. I want the old tool bar back? The old one had an X when I wanted to stop something.

    yahoo is my home page. I updated to the new version of firefox per yahoo and now my tool bar has changed.
    I want the old tool bar back? The old one had an X when I wanted to stop something (I just clicked on the X). Also, the old toolbar has a "home" that I clicked on and it went staight back to yahoo main page

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

    I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
    * FirefoxButton -> add-ons
    ** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]

  • When I am using Facebook, all of a sudden with Firefox 4, everything is SO slow. This has happened before. I want the old version back.

    Ever since I switched to Firefox 4, everything is slowing down! I hate this version. I want the old version back. I went to Facebook, it took so long to be able to do anything that I just gave up. This NEVER happened with the old version. I just want to get the old version back. I DO NOT LIKE this new version. Same kinds of problems I had once before when I tried it.

  • I want the old download display back! Library font is too small, do NOT want the sidebar!

    Just upgraded to 20.0 on XP SP3 - not interested in 'library' display; font is too small to read, do not need/want the sidebar, and need/want the % complete to show as it did in the old download display.
    Also, how do I turn off the distracting and stupid fade-in/fade-out large green arrow on download completion - again not something I'm interested or have any use for.

    I haven't tried it myself, but check out the solution in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955204 Got new version, want to go back to previous download box, the new one has no history and doesn't show speed of download, how do I go back?]
    The green arrow, like other toolbar controls, can be hidden by using the Customize feature. Kick that off by doing either of these:
    * right-click a blank area of the Tab bar > Customize
    * View menu > Toolbars > Customize
    Drag the unwanted arrow into the dialog with the other unused buttons, the click Done.
    Does that fix it?

  • Ever since I agreed to install the new Mozilla Firefox I can't even send an e-mail successfully. I want the old Mozilla Firefox back and I will never agree to a newer version of anything. Please give me the old version back.

    I want my old Mozilla Firefox back because ever since I agreed to try the new Firefox, I've had nothing but problems every single time I try to send an e-mail. What used to be easy and quick, now is difficult and takes an inordinate amount of time; sending it over and over, and telling the message that tells me something like a page is not responding, to send it again or quit; and I have to do this many times over to get it to send a text. That has never happened before. I will never agree to a newer version again. Just please give me back my old Mozilla Firefox.

    Since I got Outlook Express I am not satisfied with it since I cannot go to all of my contacts like before and select them for sending e mails. I have problem in typing a message as well. If any mistake occurs you cannot go back and correct it. Instead you have to use back space and delete all you have written so far and start all over it again. Please restore the old System. Thanks!
