N9 MeeGo: Questions to Nokia

N9 is a very good phone, with excellent design and potentially excellent OS (I get so used to 'swipe', that I even occassionally do swipe on my iPad).
Nevertheless, there are couple of issue, which make me believe, that N9 was released pre-maturely.
I would appreciate if someone from Nokia team on this forum could address following questions:
1. Will there be a proper USB sync between N9 and PC (any soft (like Nokia Link, Nokia Suite etc.) allowing syncing contacts, calendar items and notes with Outlook) and, if yes, when we could expect one?
2. Will there be any upgrade allowing video calls and, if yes, when we could expect one? (it appears that fron facing camera is pretty much useless now)
3. Will there be video call for Scype? (I understand this is a third party application, but it seems that Nokia might have info on this)
4. Will there be any office suite (word, excell, power point) allowing editing documents? (I understand this is a third party application, but it seems that Nokia might have info on this)
5. Will there be any flash support for web browser, and, if yes, when we could expect one?
These are my main issues right now. If anyone has any additional issues please continue the list.
Thanks in advance

Switching brands may be the best Solution. It seems Nokia is not interested in addressing the problems raised in this forum. For Nokia to dismiss the lack of a proper way to synch the N9 with my previous Nokia as "not an issue" is just wrong.
No voice dialing? How does that fit with my Nokia car kit for hands free phone use?
No file management system? This really is a backwards step.
Here is another reason to switch to an iPhone... my wife and I just spent four weeks traveling and in every hotel her iPhone was able to connect to even weak WiFi signals but not my N9. There were times when she could easily chat in Skype and I could not even make a connection. Such a weak WiFi receiver in the N9.
I chose the N9 over the iPhone because of the included voice navigation but this has proved very poor. The previous E71 worked far better. I am unable to update or download additional maps in my N9 and the options and controlswithing both Maps and Drive is extremely poor.
Many good features in the N9 and some nice design work but clearly we have been sold an incomplete operating system and set of applications, rushed to market and then abandoned. I expected better than this from Nokia. This attitude is more like what I expect from Microsoft. Oh yes! Nokia are in bed with Microsoft now! The culture if distain for their customers must be contagious

Questions on Nokia Messaging (uploading sent email...

Hi all,
I have a few questions on Nokia Messaging;
Does it connect to (non-Exchange) email servers via imap idle?
When I send an email, can it be uploaded to the 'Sent' folder in my email server?
When I delete an email from my Nokia, can the email be deleted from the server as well?
Thanks!

Hi,
1) No, even though the specs state otherwise. You may only have it pull Mails every 5 Minutes, or have them pushed using Nokia Messaging Service. Quite some disappointed customers hope this will change in the future, but I don't believe in it, because I feel nokia wants to force one to use their push service.
2) No, at least not automatic. Of course you can sync your sent items folder and manually move your sent messages there from your local(on your phone)sent items folder, but that is not very efficient.
3) Yes

Nokia 6230i questions and Nokia Warranty

Hi
My last Nokia mobile was the 6230 and I have just upgraded to the 6230i (though after reading through the threads last night, I think it may have been a downgrade?). I have a few questions which I hope I can get the answers to in this forum?
Q1: Ok, last night, after reading through many, many posts about the 6230i, I read in one particular post that the Nokia warranty is now two (2) years, can anyone please confirm this and also when this took effect?
(Also is there anywhere that I can view the basic details of the warranty)
Q2: With regard to the warranty, if two years is correct, does that mean that our Nokia mobiles will be repaired FREE for parts and labour over the two year period?
Q3: Is the warranty work required to be carried out at a Nokia Service Centre?
Q4: My 6230i firmware is v3.40, what is the latest firmware version for this mobile? I read in one thread last night that it was v3.62?
Q5: During the warranty period, are we allowed FREE firmware software updates to our mobiles and are they carried out at the Nokia Serice Centres?
Q6: After inserting a particular *# xxxxx # code, to see warranty details, I noticed an entry called "Life Timer" what do the numbers in that section mean? (I think my 6230i had 0000.1.05) I have used the phone.
I'd appreciate all help given.
Regards
Brave01Heart

I just got a new LCD screen in my 6230i and the guy in the nokia service center said all nokia's have a 18 mth warranty from april 2005. obviously he doesn't know about the 24 mth warranty....!Message Edited by bjproc on 06-Jan-2006

Question to Nokia regarding navigation subscriptio...

Today Nokia announced free navigation for ever. Nokia Care also announced that they have no intention of reimbursing valuable license subscription done before today. Thank you for accepting our money though!
Can you confirm that you now intend to leave your legal team's apparent standpoint about "no legal problems here", as as your final loyalty award for us that spent money for complete navigation licenses way into 2011?
brgds, a very unhappy N97 customer
Helsinki, N97 White gone to recycling, now trying N97Mini...

As described here (/discussions/board/message?board.id=navigation&thread.id=16183) i totally support this question!
Also thank you for accepting our money!
We have been loyal customers and bought a service from Nokia. Isn't it worth a compensation?

Questions about Nokia BH-905i

I have two questions:
1) When playing music, sound often drops out, especially when I move around the city. Is it because of the bluetooth interference? If so, is there any way to bring these dropouts to some minimum?
2) Sometimes, when I push play after pause, the volume goes up gradually. It is a very nice feature, but it seems to be sporadic. I mean, there are many times when the volume just roars back at full strength after unpausing. What this feature depends on? Is there a way to make this behaviour more consistent?
Excellent product, by the way. But the bluetooth sound dropouts really spoil the fun.
N8 here, Nokia Belle (the dropouts were there on Anna, too).

Hi Goodcoin,
1 - There should not be any interference from other bluetooth devices if your N8 is paired to the headset. Are there any specific times that the headset decides to drop out? Also, it may be worth that the handset is not in a bag but rather in your trousers or jacket pocket to allow maximum connection strength.
2 - The volume sporadically changing could have something to do with the desired effects which the headset can perform depending on your device. Here are a list of different presets which you may accidentally activated during pressing different buttons on the headset.
To select the desired effect while listening:
• To activate the bass booster effect, press the multifunction key. The
headset beeps once.
• To activate the stereo widening effect, after one second, press the
multifunction key a second time. The headset beeps twice.
• To activate the bass booster and stereo widening effect, press the
multifunction key a third time. The headset beeps three times.
• To deactivate the effects, press the multifunction key a fourth time.
The headset plays a long beep.
Let us know how you get on, and if you are still experiencing problem with the headset, we suggest you to visit your closest Nokia Care point, where our technicians can help you more with hardware issues. Or alternatively you can take the headset back to your retailer, and depending on the return and exchange policy, they could provide you with a replacement of some kind.
Regards,
haZey

Help With A Question Regarding Nokia 6300

Hi everyone,
Im usually quite good with mobiles in knowing what they do and dont accept kinda thing but ive found myself a little ticked off a Vodafone right now and im hoping one of you can answer my question please.
As soon as I had charged my phone up I contacted vodafone for the settings in order for me to browse the web on it. Once I had done that, I had a look for a ringtone I wanted, bought it, waited for the text and when it arrived I went to that link (from vodafone live) and attempted to download it. All I got was "download failed" twice.
The first time it happend, Vodafone refunded me and told me to wait at least 24 hours before attempted to buy it again which I did, I waited well over 24 hours.
I tried again and the same thing happened so I contacted them once more and just asked them to refund me once more and I just wont bother with it. They wouldnt, they told me to check if it is compatible or not....im nearly 99.9999% sure this phone takes realtones. Obviously I could be wrong and ill be embarrassed if it doesnt but could someone answer this and possibly explain why it might not be letting it download?
Ive had nokias before and the settings all seem to be in order, I deleted and moved some stuff to my memory card so im pretty sure there is enough memory.
Thanks a million.

check here in the "digital services" part http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-6300/technical-specifications it says true tones. this is it.
it might be Vodafone's network problem that gives you the "download failed" message.

Is Meego out for Nokia ?

Has Nokia Scrapped the Meego project ? I heard that Nokia has tied up with Microsoft for all its upcoming phones for OS. Inshort is Meego Dead ?
Moderator Note: Unannounced product removed. We cannot discuss products that have not officially been announced by Nokia.

Venu:
As far as I know you don't need In Out unless
you are using that variable to pass values between the two procedures.
It is so easy to try it , so I suggest you write two small procedures to check this.It should only take a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps.

6. Will I be able to stream youtube or play flv videos?

thanks in Advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

many of your the questions are answered on this page: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/Asha_501/
The platform of the phone is Nokia Asha software platform 1.0.
The phone supports mobile Java (J2ME) apps and Nokia Web Apps.
Apps can be installed from any source though Nokia Store is of course the main delivery channel.
I would expect the key Nokia apps to appear on the phone sooner or later. Few apps like Nokia Nearby are supported since day one.
There will be SW updates for the phone, but few things have changed on this front compared to some older phones: now all SW updates are delivered Over-The-Air.
Video streaming from Youtube is supported.
There is no support for VPN current currently.

Few questions about nokia lumia 720...

I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 720 and have a few questions I would like answering...
Why do we need to link our phone to a microsoft account? What if you dont want to link your email and your phone contacts? My phone is now full of useless numbers of people I havent spoken to\want to speak to.
Where do I report bugs that I find with the phone? I have found a few.
Why cant I sign into Skype without linking to a microsoft account too? [same issue as before]
It would also be good if we could assign custom ring tones... I thought this would have been a standard feature.
Sorry for the moan...
Jimmy

As I said, you can either set up a separate MS account just for the phone or you can filter you contacts under People > Settings > Filter contact lists so that you see only the ones you want to see. Linking to a cloud account is extremely useful for keeping a backup and for restoring the phone if you lose, change or simpley have to hard reset it. A friend lost his Lumia while travelling abroad, bought a new one on the spot, found a free wifi network and had all his contacts, messages and apps installed and running within half an hour.
I don't understand your last point - if you mean restart the phone when it is frozen for any reason, that can be done by holding both the Power and Volume Down button pressed for maybe 10-15 seconds until the phone vibrates and restarts. That is usually called a soft reset and you do not lose any settings or data except the date and time settings which you need to set again manually. Otherwise you can simply turn the phone Off and On by holding the Power button pressed.

BIG Question to Nokia for 3G Speed Issue

I bought Nokia asha 311 before 1 month and i am not getting 3G speed.
From the day i bought this phone i am getting around 200KBps speed ONLY.
I tried all the networks and different places but the issue is same.
When i sent nokia care an email they told me that check weather any background app is running or not but i know what i am saying and i am technical guy i know my stuff very well.
As consumer's duty i checked all the possible options from my side but the issue is same.
Nokia care told me that go to nearby nokia care shop and get it checked.
I went there and they told me that phone is fine but still we'll update the firmware to see if any change happens.
They updated the firmware and the internet speed was same.
After this and all the discussion with nokia care exe. he told me that This NOKIA ASHA 311 mobile doesn't have that 3G class to give HIGH SPEED 3G internet!!!!!
I was shocked with this answer. I bought this mobile after analysis as my primary requirement was to use this phone's inbuilt 3G modem which supports 14.5MBps downloading speed(according to Nokia's promotional listings) and now after hearing this from that nokia care executive i am totally shocked and left his shop.
Today i again sent email to nokia care (from nokia's website) to see what they say now.
If things didn't go well then i don't have any choice then placing a BIG CONSUMER COURT REPORT against nokia to not list what they don't provide(in this case its 3G speed)
They shown in advertisement and everywhere and also on Nokia.com website too that this phone supports 14.5MBps downloading speed and has HSPA so there should be no question with browsing/downloading speed but now I NEED ANSWER.
Resolve or face the consumer behavior.

Just to clarify, I do not work for Nokia, but rather just drop by here once in a while.
Claims that "a friend is getting" may only be you're friends claim. In the court of most modern law, we call it HEARSAY.
Most people cite technical specifications and factors, but the reality with the mobile Internet, is pretty basic.
For wireless connectivity, imagine this very ideal setting:
Your phone is about 4 inches in size with a 3 inch battery and fits snugly in your hand. Take your pick, any brand, any carrier or provider, they are all the same. Wifi, bluetooth, 3g, 4g, still the same.
A cellular tower is about, lets give it a nice rounded figure of 100 feet high towering high above.
A typical cell site should be a few kilometers away, lets say you have full bars within a radius of 5km
Now we have many scenarios possible:
The Internet is not about just DOWNLOAD or retrieving information, one very overlooked factor is UPLOAD or sending. One does not magically conjure a website without requesting for it.
It is always two-way traffic for the Internet. If the requesting party has a weak signal, either packets (or bits of data) are lost along the way to the cell's tower, the reply from the tower may also be sporadic or slow.
Why?
Going back to physics, it's 4 inch phone versus 100 foot tower.
You are holding a tiny phone trying to send data to a device many, many kilometers away. The cell site may be streaming you 100% full strength, but with the Internet, you have to take into account your own signal sending back.
EMI's or electromagnetic interference. - packets of data are sent across servers in almost pristine condition across the globe via fiber optics, but once their holiday trip rides the imaginary airplane and flies through the air as packets of data, they also encounter MILLIONS of other packets of data from other mobile phones, wifi hotspots, radio stations, even echoes of the Big Bang (yep, seriously) emenating from outer space.
So Imagine your phone as a post office, and it has to sort through all of those millions of packets and only let yours which has been authenticated in. You are technically recieveing everyone else's packets of data and in an area congested with a lot of wireless traffic, your phone has to work extra hard to sort which is which.
A well placed microwave often, in fact, can kill any wireless signal. Waves, physics and all those sorts of things are complicated to explain you need not worry about them on a consumer level. Not even Einstein can tame it, so nothing much we can do.
That's only two variables in a multi-variable situation in troubleshooting slow browse connectivity. A ping test or bandwith test from sites such as speedtest.net will only provide a benchmark and basis for network engineers to troubleshoot but does not reflect your actual speed or QoS.
And since I brought the term up, you can also contact your provider about the QoS or the speed plan your are currently signed up or paying for. Like here in Time Warner Cable, even if our customer has the fastest modems around if they are subscribed to the 30mbps plan, they'll never get 50mbps because of the simple fact they are not paying for that subscription, or as we in the industry call it, QoS.
If you are getting less than the bandwidth in optimum conditions, it is definitely provider-side issue.
I am sorry if my sarcastic sense of humour (well, that's just who I am.) may not play well with some cultures. But I hope I have enlightened others who are also wondering as well.
Again, disclaimer, I do not work for Nokia.
I am also a consumer, trying to look for a fix for my phone that keeps crashing, much like most of us ended up here looking for answers.
My personal suggestion is, if you don't like the phone, return it or resell it on ebay and buy a higher end phone.
Price = Performance.

Question regarding nokia 5800 express music

Currently I have Nokia e61, with this phone I can connect my plantronic bluetooth stereo headset. I know my phone doesnt support ad2p but as i listen to audiobooks it doesnt matter. While listening i can write mails, use internet, chat on msn and so on without closing any program, they all run in the background. This phone never stutter or becomes slow.
How does all that work with this phone? I know that a common problem is when you use a bluetooth connection and the phone becomes very slow. I am thinking of buying this one because of the nice musicplayer, internet browser and of course the large memory capability.
Thanks in advance
Björn

jimmy, why are you making up random answers to people's questions yet again? Is misleading people a hobby of yours or are you just plain useless?
It is not possible to copy and paste text from anywhere within the browser. It's a well known and annoying limitation of the S60 browser. Text can be pasted into it from other applications but you cannot copy a paragraph of text from a web page.
@ waspworld: Hopefully a more knowledgable user that doesn't guess their answers can help you with your bluetooth query. I don't use a headset like that myself but I can't remember seeing any major issues posted about it.
