Issues solved after a second install of Belle

Hi.
I have been advised to reinstall Belle on my Nokia E7.
I've been told that after a second install of Belle most issues are gone.
Do you know what specific issues are solved after that reinstall?
I'm curious because I want to know if it is worthy to reinstall Belle.
Greetings from Paraguay.

Claudio,
I upgraded from Anna to Belle on the first day that Belle was available.  Yesterday I re-installed Belle.
Since updating my E7 from Anna to Belle I have had mixed opinions as to whether that was wise to do.
Though Belle has a lot to like about it in features and speed, there are many things that were really good in Anna but have been degraded or are even missing in Belle.  See this list which many people have contributed to:
/t5/Software-Updates/List-of-Belle-additions-corrections-needed/td-p/1328167/page/3
I have customized the home screens (use three) quite a bit and have added a number of free apps for more convenience in use of the phone.
Before I tell you my experiences and give you my reasoning I should give some background about myself and my Nokia E7-00.  Note that though I am very competent with computer hardware and software I have much less knowledge and skill with cell phones.
My E7-00 is my second Nokia phone experience.  I also bought an E6-00 for my wife.  I got the E7 for myself because I need the large keyboard for my large fingers and I like the GPS/maps capability.  I got the E6 for my wife because she was unhappy with the touch screen on her Nokia 5230 and is more comfortable with a keyboard.
I have owned my E7 for less than a year, use it primarily for my small business,  and upgraded to Anna immediately after purchasing it.  Though I tested using a data connection for WEB browsing for a couple of months I don't subscribe to a data service now because I found little use for it and it is (in my opinion) very expensive here in Canada.  I do connect my E7 to the Internet often using WIFI through my home or business routers, and occasionally through WIFI connections at hotels and other locations when I travel.
Since upgrading to Belle I have had many occasions when my phone would freeze either momentarily or permanently (necessitating powering it off) and a few times it has completely shut off for no reason.  I have had a number of occasions when I have been unable to answer an incoming call because the touch screen was unresponsive.
In trying to determine the cause of the problems with the phone I have removed apps and done soft resets of the phone.
I thought about re-installing Belle but was loath to do it because of the bad experience I had when I first upgraded from Anna to Belle.  At that time I did a backup of my phone using the latest version of Nokia Suite.  The download and install of the Belle update went very smoothly.  But once the phone was functional again I found that I lost many things including all my customizations, my WIFI settings, and all the many map favorites (GPS coordinates) I had collected when traveling and calling on customers.  The backup that the Belle installation software performed did not restore these things, and the same was true of the backup I did with Nokia Suite.
Yesterday my frustration level with the phone was such that I decided I had to try a re-install of Belle.  I did another backup up the phone with Nokia Suite and synced the map favorites with Nokia's on-line service.  But I also had the inspiration to download the latest version of Nokia PC Suite and do a backup with that too - a good thing I did!
I used Nokia Suite to re-install Belle.  After the reinstall I again had lost all my customization, some installed apps, and all map favorites.  I tried to restore things by using the backup I had done with Nokia Suite, but that did not work.
Then I restored the backup I made with Nokia PC Suite and EVERYTHING was back.  I could hardly believe my good fortune.  Even my map favorites were back.
Since it is little more than 24 hours since my re-install of Belle I cannot say whether it was really worth the effort.  But so far the phone does seem to be behaving itself.  It is a little smoother in operation with less delay and I have not had any freezing.  On the other hand it has been a quiet day and the phone has not had a good workout.  Still, I am hopeful.
This most recent experience makes me wonder if Nokia is making improvements in Belle without giving notification.  I am wondering if the version of Belle that was used for the re-install is different from the original version I installed about a month ago.
I will not upgrade my wife's E6 to Belle until I know that the problems with Belle have been fixed.
I hope you find this information useful.

  • Issue Solved: Itunes won't install on windows

    Hey all, I have a windows computer running windows 7 and have been unable to install itunes on it. I tried all of the help site tips on the apple site and they didnt help. I had an error message 7 (windows error 193).
    They said this was an issue with the dynamic link library (.dll) the solution fixed my itunes issue but they told me it may interfere with another program (but that hasn't happened yet and it's an easy fix if it does)
    1. Go to your C: drive under "My computer"
    2. select the "System 32" file.
    3. find the "msvcr100.dll" item: it was a ways down but you need this exact one.
    4. when you find it- click and drag it to your desk top.
    5. a warning will pop up- ignore it.
    6. itunes fixed!
    if you run into problems with another prgram now, just put this "msvcr100.dll" back in the system 32 file. Apparently it's just an old .dll from windows that hasn't been fixed.
    Thanks all!
    Luke

    Oh yeah - that sound of marbles, that's my brain dropping on the floor from the loss of marbles after re-install # 13 and 14. Here's some more error messages. Please - Apple tech folks - get out of your Porsche Panameras and please fix this!

  • [SOLVED] GNOME login screen freezes after 3 seconds

    Hello,
    today I installed Arch-Linux the first time. I had some issues during the installation (following https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Anleitu … Einsteiger (its the german version, seems to differ a little from the english version)), but everything went good until I installed GNOME. Now the login screen freezes everytime after quite exactly 3 seconds, unless I press [strg]+[alt]+[f2] fast enough to switch in tty2. Then the screen will only freeze when I switch back to tty1. Once the screen is frozen, I can't switch to tty2 anymore.
    I think the problem has something to do with my nvidia hybrid graphic system. During the installation I installed the packages bumblebee, bbswitch and primus, but uninstalled them because I thought they could be the problem. But although I uninstalled the packages, the "Stamina-Mode" status led is turned on after the system has started and the "Speed-Mode" status led not. I think that's a little bit strange, because I can't imagine which process is controlling these leds.
    So I ran just
    pacman -S xorg-drivers
    and I had to create the xinitrc-file (because I could not find this file in /etc/skel). Now the default GUI appeared after I ran
    startx
    (I saw some windows and a clock). After that I installed gnome, changed the xinitrc-file in my userhome and got the freeze after a reboot.
    I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem, but I get the following error-messages everytime I boot:
    [drm:ibx_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
    [drm:intel_dp_start_link_train] *ERROR* too many full retries, give up
    [drm:ilk_display_irq_handler] *ERROR* Pipe A FIFO underrun
    interl ips 0000:00:1f.6: thermal reporting for required devices not enabled, aborting
    Hoeman
    P.S.: Because I'm a total beginner at linux I probably missed the most important informations, but I can give you more if you tell me how

    Ok, I could solve the problem myself by installing the latest nvidia driver. Now I guess the intel grahic card is not used anymore, but I don't really know...

  • After Effects: "You have this plugin twice" issue SOLVED

    Do you get problems in After Effects telling you that you have more than one time a plug-in, installed on your system? What After Effects does, is to scanning the Plug-ins and presets every time it opens, if you by mistake installed one plug-in two times, you will get an error telling you that you may have an issue working with this plug-in and, is better that you close After Effects and uninstall this plug-in. Well my friend gave me few plug-ins that he had, but it seems like I had some already installed. Every time I opened my After Effects for each plugin I had two times installed, it was stopping the scanning and informing me about the situation. It was really annoying to click too many times on “OK”. So I came up with an answer.
    ) First go to directory where your After effects is installed. Usually it is: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4.
    ) Go to “Support Files” folder and then to “Plug-ins”
    ) If you are using Vista or 7, use the search box on the right top corner of you window, if you are on XP, use the search button and click “find files and folders” (I don’t actually remember if it is like this)
    ) Then search “*.*” without the quotes (This will scan your folder and will show you all the files inside the Plugins folder)
    ) Look carefully to see the plugins icon (easy to recognize) and the name of the plugin, if you see a plugin name two times, that is the plugin that cause you the problem.
    ) Right click on one of the two and delete it.
    ) You can also follow the other way. When after effects pop up this problem with the plugin issue, it will tell you the actual name of the plugin, write down the name on a paper if you can’t remember, close after effects, navigate to the Plugin folder, and search specific for the plugin with this name. You will notice that it will appear twice. Delete one of these plugins.
    ) BE CAREFULL, DO NOT EMPTY THE RECYCLE BIN YET.
    ) First open After Effects, and see if the problem is solved. Use the Plugin on an SOLID or ADJUSTMENT layer, and when you are sure that everything is all right, you can empty the recycle bin.
    I know that maybe this is not a big deal and maybe everybody can came up with this idea to solve the problem, but you never know if a person is really need a help on this.
    Thank you for reading.

  • Impossible to debug AIR Application on Mac OS X Maverick. After several seconds AIR App freezes and Mac OS console displays : adl caught causing excessive wakeups. Can you help on that issue ?

    After launching my app in debug mode, app starts correctly, and after few seconds, apps completely freezes, there is no possibility to pause it, and Mac OS console gives such message :
    06/08/2014 17:27:58,000 kernel[0]: process adl[2941] caught causing excessive wakeups. Observed wakeups rate (per sec): 1278; Maximum permitted wakeups rate (per sec): 150; Observation period: 300 seconds; Task lifetime number of wakeups: 45028
    Note that on another mac, i don't have that issue, with the same application.

    After a lot of searches, at least i have an indication. When i set -debug=false, i don't have the issue anymore. But of course, i can't debug my file, so it is not of a great help, but maybe this will lead to an idea to you all..
    Note that Apple support was indicating me that by creating a new user account on my Mac i could have solved it. I tried, and it seems to work for few hours. But after the problem came back again with my new account.
    Of course still looking for a solution , it is very very annoying.

  • Videos crash after 2 seconds (and other issues)

    Hello,
    I own a HP Pavilion DV6 6180ep and I'm experiencing a few problems while running Windows 8.1 .
    - sometimes when I receive windows notifications (the ones on the upper right corner), the computer freezes (I can't click on the notification) and the sound crashes too, and only after 20/30 seconds everything starts working properly. When this happens, in the moment that everything comes back to normal, sometimes I hear a lot of windows sounds at the same time.
    - videos in general crash after 2 seconds of playing (on every platform: youtube, facebook, VLC player, ...). I have to wait 20/30 seconds and everything comes back to normal again.
    These are minor issues but after some time it's very annoying. I've been asking some people with similar laptops and many of them complain about these issues too.
    Thank you.

    Hi @Duarteman ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are having some graphics issues with your Pavilion after upgrading to Windows 8.1. The reason you are having problems is that there are no specific drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1 for this model. Your Pavilion also has switchable graphics which means you have two video cards. The drivers for these cards have be to configured the manufacturer of the notebook so you can't use a driver from AMD.
    Your best bet is to use a set of recovery discs and go back to Windows 7.

    Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer.  As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum.  Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
    Thanks, and best of luck to you.

  • Will the penfailure be solved after changing the cartridges? Installing printer again did not help.

    Yes, I did try it.
    I completely uninstalled Firefox (including personal settings, bookmarks, add-ons etc.) and then I installed Firefox 24 from scratch. The outcome is unchanged. Namely, it installs it and then right when it is about to start for the very first time, it hangs. If I run the task manager I can see the process firefox32. It shows as if it is running. But in fact it is hanging doing nothing. It is almost as if the process is waiting for something to happen and that never occurs. Note that this should not have anything to do with, say, an incompatible add-on/plug in because I had them all removed. I also removed adobe flash prior to the installation and run the malware removal program too.

    my computer displays grey screen and apple logo for 10 minutes or more during start up and shut down. sometimes it refuses to shut down . this issues started after installing OS lion. what do i do?

    I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
    First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
    That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset  and SMC for good measure.

  • [SOLVED] systemd services load slow/fail after forcing package install

    This is more of a PSA for those coming across this issue in the future. I think people should do more of these.
    I recently had problems installing packages where pacman told me several files already existed in the filesystem. This happened when I tried to install an individual official package, not a full system upgrade, so I couldn't find any relevant posts.
    I tried to --force install the package, thereby rewriting all such files. But I noticed the next time I rebooted and logged into my system, my Cinnamon session would load extremely slowly (~2 mins) and I had several failed services.
    Symptoms of the problem included:
    - non-root partitions not mounted on boot
    - users and groups added after initial system install were gone (including sudo)
    - difficulty connecting to networks
    - trying to start/restart services resulted in a Polkit-related error and a timeout
    So after a while I found this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151915
    It suggested that the polkit-related user and group were missing and I should check my /var/log/pacman.log around the time of my force installation, which I did. This revealed pacman overwrote several files in /etc including fstab, hosts, passwd, shadow and group.
    Luckily pacman backed up all those files under the suffix *.pacorig so I by renaming the backups and rebooting I was thankfully able to return my system to normal.

    I have another example of rc.local which is mainly about configuring power saving etc etc on a netbook
    hdparm -B254 /dev/sda
    grep -q '0' /sys/class/power_supply/ADP1/online && P="powersave" || P="ondemand"
    cpupower -c all frequency-set -g "$P"
    echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
    /usr/sbin/iw dev wlan0 set power_save on
    echo '0' > '/proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog'
    echo '1' > '/sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.0/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1c.0/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1b.0/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1d.0/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1d.1/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1d.2/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1d.3/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1d.7/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1f.2/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1f.3/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/power/control'
    echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1c.1/power/control'
    /usr/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol d
    what is the systemd way of doing this sort of thing?
    Also where should local units be put so that they can be enabled/disabled etc. If I put them in /usr/lib/systemd/system won't they interfere with pacman?

  • Need help on a really weird issue after ios 7 install

    Ok I installed ios 7 yesterday without any issues except personal feelings regarding the new os but I digress. After the install I started exploring and found a glitch, hack, conspiracy, whatever you want to call it. When I open safari there are 5 seperate "app like boxes" or shortcuts that have all Miscrosoft windows material/information. I have a 4s and my wife the 5 both with ios 7 and her's is not like this. Instead she has a few shortcuts to a few different apps that were not picked by her. I called apple care and they said they never heard of it nor did they have a fix, just to do a hard reset. They also mentioned that if I had a hotmail/outlook material installed prior to the new ios install that this could of caused it but backed away from that resolution as I further described my issue. After the hard reset and 3hrs later, no dice, same issue. Any suggestions? I hope I explained it for you guys to inderstand but this is truly a must see to beleive/understand.

    Thanks Josh.
    I finally tracked this down last night with help from the folks at actionscript.org.  I hadn't deactivated my Debugger which runs off of a desktop AIR application - so the server was trying to reach my localhost to run its trace statements.  Deactivating the Debugger fixed the problem.
