N97 BAD Software Design

This phone, the WORST Nokia phone I've ever had, and very probably the last, never ceass to amaze me with just how BADLY the software is designed. 
The latest disaster: I am trying to set up the WiFi to connect to my wireless router.  OK, great it sees the network and asks for a Passkey (as it is encrpted); gives me an input box to enter the passkey.  Oh Dear, my passkey is 64 digits long and consists of random lower case, uppercase letters and numbers.  It is a strong encryption key. 
But do, Nokia SERIOUSLY expect me to type this in digit by digit??  I have looked in vain for ways to enter this passkey efficiently - the obvious way - pasting it from off the clipboard (oh yes, I've successfully got the key pasted ONTO the clipboard from a text editor); appears to be too clever for Nokia.
Unless I have overlooked something, there appears to be no way to cut & paste into the Passkey dialog, and apparently no way to do it from the keyboard either.
SO I guess WiFi is another feature I won't be using on this **bleep** phone!

Ok, I'll try and save you a bit of time with a medium as apposed to a short cut. Put your passcode in notes in the Office app, then WITHOUT using QWERTY open the note youve done, run your finger over the text, select copy. Go to search for wifi, when asked for passkey don't use QWERTY just tap it and when virtual keypad come up tap the box next to tick with 3 horizontal line in it, select paste, and there you go, takes abot 7 seconds once you have passket saved.
Good Luck

  • Bad Software Design

    As prompted by the support tech who completely agreed with me, I post my anger here to warn others of the potential one click destruction..
    Im a new Ipod user, a classic.. A nice device. Itunes is alright over all except where warning of bad user decisions is concerned..
    I wanted to reorganize my library having just gotten it all nice and neat on the ipod. So I deleted all my old music folders, cleared my playlists in Itunes and clicked sync.. No warning, nothing, and in a few seconds 20 years, gone with the closest back up in a computer so old its doubtful the drives still work, provided i can find it.
    You would think in logical software design, where the syncing of drives is concerned.. In the event a sync would erase all data on a device, a warning would be appropriate. Now if there was a warning, with one of those don't bother me again with this checkbox, that box shouldn't be there.
    ITunes, you suckzors and I'll be rid of you as soon as i find an alternative that I like.

  • How can you FORCE Classic mode to run on an Intel Mac? OS 9 emulation Rosetta Software Design

    Hello everyone, I had a few thoughts on running Classic mode on intel macs which I wanted to share.
    Now I know little about software design, but maybe someone who does could tell me if these ideas I had are at all feasible:
    Now in the first place I now that, technically, "Classic" mode went out back with Tiger because of the switch to Intel chips. Switching to Intel, Rosetta was required to "translate" pre and non-intel OSX applications, with the exception of Classic since Rosetta does not translate deep enough into the system to do that. As a substitute to Classic, SheepShaver, Basilisk II, etc. can be used to emulate OS 9, but these are very lousy applications compared to Classic mode.
    Is there ANY way whatsoever Rosetta could be edited, or Classic itself so that it will work on intel macs?
    (that is, with the exception of 10.7+ systems since these don't even use Rosetta)
    I know if Classic was placed on an intel mac, it would tell you to download Rosetta, but from there will crashes because frameworks in the system's library does not support (or was not designed for) Classic...
    So what I wanted to know:
    What if an old, Classic supporting PowerPC system's library folder was added to an Intel computer in a location other then that computers real system folder (as not to confuse the real, current system) and Classic manually edited so that it would search for the needed frameworks/etc files in the new location? Would it work?
    Since, after all, it now has the correct "system" to run on (which before Rosetta could not convert), do you think there's any chance it would work and function properly?
    Now beyond that, I wouldn't know the actual results (or consequences). I suppose the main problem to consider would be that the the PPC's system frameworks/etc wouldn't work at all on an Intel (which leads us back to Rosetta lacking in this area), and since those frameworks will be searching for other files in the system library (which would bring them to the current, Intel system) the same results would happen: crash! Or maybe sensing the system was mixed up, one or more files would try to "fix" themselves, and in turn destroy the computer's real system.
    So, would it be worth a try?
    I'd love to hear any other thoughts on running Classic on Intel...

    There is an "easier" way to acquire SheepShaver called Chubby Bunny and I have put together a post with some safe links that are relevant to this topic.  I see that emaculation is one of them.
    Why do you need OS 9 greater than 9.04?
    Feel free to let me know if you need any more help.
    With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
    A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included.

  • 5230 - Software design, lots left to be desired

    I posted this in the wrong place earlier so having to re-post OK?
    ===========
    Only had the phone 3 or 4 days and it's a BIG BIG pain.
    Every time you start the engine up you have to reconnect to the hands free having to go through 5 or 6 different pages and silly questions.
    1. I would think that when a user is trying to connect to a hands free there is no need to be asked by the phone whether they want to connect ???
    2. When asked for a passcode there is no need to be asked whether you would like to enter the passcode??
    3. When you succesfully entered the passcode there is no need to be asked whether you want to be connected with the hands free that you just entered the right passcode for ????
    4. You go to the list of missed calls and you try to call the last caller back,
    Aah well, the 5230 has to ask you whether you want to Voicecall (No other option given) ????
    That's a first, well done!!
    5. 6. 7.  .... I'll come back when I got a minute.
    Come on NOKIA, one may think that chimps were involved in the software design.

    Ricardo

    Apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
    Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary. They really aren't.
    There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
    These types of apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
    Plus, the software companies that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
    Apps that have no obvious way or uninstall themselves or do not come with a dedicated uninstaller app to uninstall the app in question should be avoided and NOT even considered for download, install and use.
    It is best to never, EVER download and install these types of apps.
    The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!

  • Bad OOP design?

    I have to access some data before my program starts (to prevent a slow down while the program is running). The thing is, I need to init some objects before my program loads. It works fine now, but when I do the thing that I need the objects for, it hangs for a very short time (while it creates them, you see, right now I can only create them when the action they are needed for is called; it is to detailed to explain). The problem is it just looks unprofessional. Anyway, java.awt.component has a method that would make it possible for me to do the object creation before the program starts. Would it be bad to make a class that extends Component, and then define a method in there that get the information I need to makes it possible for me to create my object before the program starts? Is this bad OOP design?
    Thank you!
    Joshua

    Of course you can't really initialize stuff "before your program loads" since the initialization is part of your program, just before you program tells the user it's loaded.
    Probably the way to intialise stuff early is to do it in static, which will happen as soon as the class loads.
    Mostly you can do it with static object variables initialised to new objects.
    But you can get fancy and put a static code block in the class. Just a piece of code under
    static {
      .. do some initialization

    The change request is to add another tab on the page with about 40 more data fields and to expand the existing page by additional 50 data fields.
    Option 1:
    For me, I simply wanted to add these new columns to the MEDICAL_PROFILE table, as these are logically attributes of the profile itself (a one-to-one relationship) and this would be consistent with the way we do things in our other application areas. This would put about 120 columns on the table.Although you haven't provided evidence to defend the relationship, if you are correct, then I agree that they should all be associated with the MEDICAL_PROFILE table/entity. It's crucial that the data model be correct for many, many reasons.
    >
    Option 2:
    The developer prefers the object oriented approach. The developer is of the mindset that these new columns should go on a separate small tables. She agrees that they are attributes of the profile, but since they are presented on the different tab or in different profile's boxes they can be divided and the smaller logical chunks.
    Further she thinks that with a new tables, this will lend itself better to creating new and separate java objects that can plug-and-play elsewhere the application for code reuse should these objects ever be used in other places.
    She further finds that 120 columns on the table is really too much for ease of development – you can’t easily view or keep in mind a huge object with more than 250 getter/setter methods. She prefers small objects for better reusability and maintainability.
    Why does there have to be a one-to-one Java object to database table mapping?
    What about using Object Relational Views to present different objects to the caller but keep the data model correct but allow for the developer's preferred approach?

  • Software Design Applications?

    Hello. Does anyone know of a good application that could be used to design software, i.e. decide which modules, classes, processes etc would be used in the application, and how they all connect together?
    Thanks in advance.

    I thought that I was clear with my descritpion, but I will try again.
    I need something that helps me produce diagrams and schemas of software design. As I mentioned earlier, classes, modules, packages.

  • Software design patterns

    Dear members,
    As part of a research degree, I am conducting an online survey on the use
    of software design patterns within software design projects, especially
    when used within the scope of integrating applications (e.g. web services,
    EAI etc). The aim is to investigate how use of software design patterns can facilitate software reuse and save time and cost with software development
    The study doesn�t assume the use / knowledge of software design patterns as
    a pre-requisite for filling the online survey as we are collecting views of
    software developers with different background and experience.
    Your response would be treated as confidential and the online survey and
    results are anonymous (no name, address � etc is required).
    All those who completed the survey with valid E-mail address will receive
    copy of the aggregated results and any related publications, though giving
    E-mail is optional.
    The survey is expected to take 5 minutes to complete.

    Weather Monitoring Station
    This system must provide automatic monitoring of various weather conditions. The system will have sensors to measure:
    Wind speed
    Wind direction
    Temperature
    Barometric pressure
    Humidity
    The system must also provide the following derived measurements.
    Wind chill(derived from temperature, wind speed and humidity).
    Dew point temperature(derived from temperature and humidity)
    Temperature trend(derived from recent temperature readings)
    Barometric pressure trend(derived from recent pressure readings)
    The user can request the system to report the highest and lowest values of any of the four primary measurements during the previous 24 hour period.
    The user has a screen display that continuously indicates all nine primary and derived measurements, as well as the current time and date.
    The user may direct the system to display the 24 hour maximum or minimum values of one primary measurement, together with the time of that report value.
    The user will be able to calibrate the sensors against known values and to set the current time and date.

  • N97 old software/firmware

    Hello,
    I have a Nokia 97 and i recently updated my software to 22.x.  My phone was working OK before the update (a few touch screen issues).
    But since I have updated the software, my phone has conked really bad.  The touch screen has absolutely stopped working. The keys work for sometime after i start my phone, and then they just stop working. ONLY the shift key makes a sound.
    Can someone please tell me how to get the previous software version?  This is causing me a LOT of trouble.

    try # 3. 
    With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
    NOTE: In front of the hash key ( #) there is also a STAR key that people often miss and state that the code does not work.
    1.. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data) Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345.
    2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, /GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....
