Nokia 808 SAR too high ?

I noticed that SAR ( Specific absorption rate ) for the nokia 808 is among the highest for mobile phones . I'm using nokia 808 as my primary phone, so I'm bit worried about it. Does Anyone have more information or comments about this ?
*note; removed speculative and unproven statements. It is not allowed to post information in this way without providing sources and or proof of such case. please see the forum guidelines if you have any questions on this.

There is strong dispute on this matter because everyone seems to like mobile connectivity these days, and yet the sale of connected devices is paramount business.
The debate's going over whether or not mobile phones are dangerous. It's like asking yourself if eating a lot of chocolates with liquor would get you tipsy: you'll inevitably get drunk if you continue the practice indefinitely.
Electromagnetic radiation causes cancer, that's established beyond debate. There are guidelines by the EU commision for placing those things we call antennas (cell) and exposure limits. What do you think even a moderately low powered device like a mobile phone is ultimately going to do !? Light your mood perhaps !?
Just for you to know: the OMS (precisely the IARC) found direct connection between electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and cancer in living animals, and issued a warning. Most of the resarch groups though are funded by the industries which makes them very biased. Probably in 50 years time mobile phones will ship with a black patch like smokies warning that you could DIE becasue of their usage.
There is a good news though, SAR is not specifically related to the amound of power used by your mobile phone's transmitter. Can't quite do wihout !? Try to shield yourself and cover up form direct radiation exposure. EMR behaves much like a highly pitched sound, so what blocks the sound could also block the radiation, even human hair can shield partly from EMR.
- Stay in view of the cell tower (would lower the powered required to transmit)
- Use 2G connectivity for long calls (requires less transmitting power)
- Locate the long range antenna on your phone (usually diffrent than Wi-Fi's) and use as a reference point so you don't touch it and never obstruct it.
Did you notice that manufacturers strarted to use bottom placed antennas in mobile devices ? That is to lower SAR head values.
- Use packet on demand data connection.
- Turn off mobile data when you don't use it
- Use a wired or Bluetooth headset and place your mobile phone away from you during a call (in a pouch, handbag), try to avoid contact and proximity with it as long as it is possibile to achieve during a call or mobile data session.
- Improve your data usage by tracking down applications for data and power usage. Nokia produced the wonderful Energy Profiler mobile app back in 2009 that still today is essential tool for the task.
- Use WI-Fi instead of 3G/4G, EDGE whenever possible.
As you see ther are plenty of options to lower EMR exposure and your SAR, by doing so I am pretty certain I already halved my EMR exposure. Not only I am more peaceful but also my mobile phone's battery lasts longer. Peace of mind

NOKIA 2310 Radio Volume Too High !

Hi,
I have NOKIA 3210, and the radio volume is too high. The volume is at minimum level.
Note :
When I activate visualisation (in radio menu), the volume is less high( I can support it ). But one minute after, the volume is high like without visualisation.
How can I lower the volume ?
Eric.

I am not sure how you can fix this, but please take the phone to a nokia care center and ask them if it is normal for your phone to behave like that. It could be a hardware malfunction.

Nokia 808 3.5G problem

Hi

Hi galaga742,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
I've just tested this for you, the Nokia 808 doesn't support html format. A picture sent within the body of an email will be received on the phone as an attachment and will not be visible in the email itself.
Hope this clears things up.

The future Nokia OS update for Nokia 808 PureView ...

Warm regards to the Nokia family and all members out here!
Ive been a Nokia fanboy for the last 5 years, and have bought most of the smartphones produced by our very own Nokia. India is a very good market for Nokia, but since the past few years, people are just moving towards other platforms for some reason(s)..
Having said that, I would like to inform you that I bought the Nokia 808 PureView Cameraphone recently, and im enjoying the overall experience, though, I would like to give some of my suggestions for the future Nokia (Symbian) OS with a view to better it as a complete smartphone OS and lessen the number of unsatisfied customers. So, without wasting any more time, I'll come to the point straight away. Below are my opinions that ive summarized-
1.) For a better visual experience:
- Horizontal scrolling in menu is highly recommended as its simply more practical and easy-to-use.
- An option for changing wallpapers while changing HS (homescreen) or setting a single widescreen wallpaper that scrolls in every HS would be a welcome addition.
- Size of icons in menu should be reduced to around half of the current size in FP1.
- Simpler and faster theme effects.
- The pop up menu (when 'options' is pressed) while being in the landscape screen orientation (in any app) should be worked upon so that it populates more options while covering a lesser part of the screen.
- The bounce back effect of tkinetic scrolling in some apps, like browser for instance, shold be reduced or disabled.
2.) For better apps and overall experience:
- App open and close delay should be minimized
- App installation time (specially QT apps) needs a reduction..
- the browser needs a major update with full support of flash and improvements in pan & zoom functionality.
- Im satisfied with the number of apps available, so this is not an issue with me
- The qwerty keyboard responsiveness and key positioning needs an improvement. Ive compared it to other OSes myself and found out that I made less errors on those..
As im short of time, thats it for now. Hope you guys at nokia take this as a positive feedback and work towards improving the overall experience of THE BEST CAMERAPHONE ON PLANET, ie, THE NOKIA 808 PUREVIEW (and other capable hardware phones).
Thanx,
Varun Paul

Hello…I own an 808 PureView device. At the outset, I must congratulate you for creating such a marvelous device. It’s in all dimensions a brilliant Smartphone and has no major lags except a few which I would like to mention as suggestions to improve the general smoothness and usefulness of its User Interface (henceforth-UI).
The in-built gallery lacks ‘mark multiple items’ option which, if integrated, can be fruitfully used to delete or send multiple items though Bluetooth. Also, the in-built gallery lacks ‘renaming’ function which would otherwise be helpful in organizing the gallery items, and in giving custom names which are easy to remember and deal with.
The generic MUSIC PLAYER lacks the track/music search function from within the music player, and so, to search a song out of the vast collection, the user has to use the generic SEARCH application by exiting or minimizing the music player, which in itself is a cumbersome exercise. The search function, if integrated into the music player, will help a great deal in making the music experience really customized and precise as also time saving.
The in-built VIDEO editing options available in the video viewing dashboard are relatively much naïve and rudimentary as compared to PureView’s lesser predecessor, the N8. Now, since 808 is a full-fledged camera Smartphone, it is bit logical on part of the user to expect the video editing dashboard to be as efficient and complete as the photo editing dashboard of the same is. Advance options like adding music clip can be added to the video editing console to mitigate the need of using any third party application to do so, and thus, it will further enhance the utility drawn from the cell-phone UI in terms of video editing and viewing.
The generic MESSAGING application has the default view as CONVERSATIONS view and manual selection every time is required to switch the view to FOLDERS mode. If there had been an option to make a choice in setting the folders view or the conversations view as default as per users convenience, it would have been again a smooth messaging experience.
To end up, the generic CONTACT application lacks the facility to edit the contact labels unlike the one which was available in S60 V3 devices (I owned N79 prior to owing 808 PureView and so I am well aware of this utility). Facility to edit the contact labels makes it easy to differentiate between multiple contact numbers of the same contact so as to have an ease of remembrance and clarity of use.
I earnestly hope that Nokia will incorporate some or all of these suggestions in the next-to-come firmware upgrade for Belle FP1 devices. These modifications/additions, if done and made, will make the Belle OS fully competent with its various other contemporaries as it just lacks these things but otherwise is a fluid and extremely useful OS. I request you to kindly pay due heed and consideration to my observations and work towards making the Belle OS an all-encompassing mobile platform. Thanking You.

Nokia 808 Pureview- No downloading from Nokia Musi...

Guys, I just got a Nokia 808 Pureview about 20 days back after a fantastic 2 years with my N8 (on Anna).
Initially, I was downloading music fine. But one day, I tried downloading music from PC. I logged on to ovi.music.com using my Nokia ID, and tried downloading few songs from the site on my Laptop....
It asked me to download a software called "Ovi Music Downloader". I downloaded & installed it. But songs did not get downloaded even then, on my PC....
Now, the problem is that when I try downloading it in my mobile, it just pretends to download, but the download never fills up ... in other words, no song is getting downloaded now.
Kindly help me to get my mobile Music downloads working again... What should I do now?
Additional Details: I just checked on my PC: I am not logged into Nokia Ovi Music site. Also, my subscription has 340 days remaining.

My Story: Used 6670, Used N91, Used N8, Using Pureview 808 now. I requested Nokia to get N91's sound quality and features in the latest phones. No response from Nokia!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Gaurav, Problem Solved! Problem Solved!! I got the solution. Read on... In your mobile:
1. Open Nokia Music and Go to your "Download History", and sort by "Date"only (it is default).
2. One by one from the top, click each song to open its window, and see if it is downloaded or not.
* If it is downloaded, it will show a "Play" Icon on the right side of the song... Ignore it, exit this song by clicking "Back" and move on to the next song...
* But, If it is not downloaded, it will show a "download arrow" icon... If it does show download icon, click on it to start the download, then "LONG PRESS/ HOLD AND PRESS" the same icon, till it shows you "Cancel Download? ".... Click "Yes" to cancel the download...
3. Now move on to the next song in the List of "Download History", and do the same. If it downloaded, leave it.
But, if it is not downloaded, click on download icon and when download starts, long press on the same icon to stop download. Same thing.
4. After doing this on 5-6 songs, exit Nokia Music and restart it... You should see smaller numbers now in the Blue box.
5. When this "blue circle" number reaches 1, keep on searching and you will find a DOWNLOAD STUCK file... This file's download will be stuck... It should show half downloaded, but it won't download further...
Stop this download by long pressing the download/ play icon.... That's it.
Problem solved. Now you can download any song, even the same song which was stuck. Today, I just downloaded the entire Christmas Album which had a song which stuck, and few more other songs.
If you don't understand anything, then I'll add screenshots too.
NOTE: My problem maybe solved, but its sad that Nokia ignored such problems even on complaining to them. Yes, 5-6 days ago, I sent a mail to customer care, and I didn't get a reply as yet. Just because we got a dying platform doesn't mean that it is bad and will not be supported.

Nokia 808 Captures Videos Very Dark in Low Light C...

As in the title written Nokia 808 captures videos very dark. Please look at the video sample. My father captured with panasonic lumix camera and i did with 808. The result was, sound quality was brilliant in 808 but video was lighter in panasonic. I had to choose creative mode and selecter higher levels to make the video better. I think Automatic mode should do everything perfect for the user. But i had to interfere. I think an update about camera rules would be great.
The sample video : http://youtu.be/AVEMqF3XXzI
Also, please nokia team do something for camera shake in 808. Maybe digital image stabilization i dont know.. Photos looks sharp until we zoom in and realize there is blur in the photos. I hope there will be fix on that.

I had the N70, then the N95, then the N8, and now the 808. And the problem with the dark video when in automatic mode in the dark got worse with each new phone, but the problem with the 808 is really bad, and yes you have to adjust manually instead of the automatic mode adjusting automatically, and this is very bad.
About the sound recording in videos, I think it's very low in volume, amybe because it's prepare to handle the very loud sounds of a music concerts. That's fine, but for the normal use there should be the possibility to adjust the sound recording level/sensitivity.
About the blur in pictures, it's the first phone that does this. And other users report that the camera shutter speed is very low, so you will get that problem even with very steady hands. And some users reported that if you take a picture of moving people on the street, you will notice the trace of their movement. I never had that problem with the other phones.

Nokia 808 FP1 and Nokia 701 FP1

hi
i have nokia 701 with FP1 ...but i heard that there is differences between nokia 701 fp1 and the one in nokia 808 pureview like the text clock ,note widget and the new music player ...when this upates are coming for the nokia 701 ...And I didnt get the Skydrive update till now on my Nokia 701
and thnx

yeas,there a couple of minor differences between the 808 and 701 with the same os version.t hese are becuase the fp1 is specially built for the 808 while the devices like 7011 are g=not getting it out of the box rather they getting as an update.there are differences between updated os and built in os.those handsets,which get an os built in,have some features which are especially and exclusively made for them like the ones you've described whereas if some other device gets it too,it gets it as an addition;not a basic element.

Joikuspot not working on brand new Nokia 808

I've just purchased a Nokia 808 from Singapora and tried using Joikuspot. Unfortunately for some reason it fails to start a connection. I've made sure that BOTH mobile data and wifi are on as well. When I start the program, it asks if I want to start a connection (to which I say yes), I choose AT&T Internet and wait. I can see the 3G internet icon start up, but the wifi icon (or transmitting icon) never appears and the message "Connection failed, Connection unavailable" appears up at the top.
I've tried reinstalling Joikuspot (well, I purchased the premium version actually), reinstalling the phone software (via Nokia Suite) and doing a factory reset with no success. Internet and other apps seem to work fine under 3G and wifi as well so I'm not sure what's going on. Any information regarding the matter would be extremely helpful. Thanks everyone.
Jon
Btw, I've also contacted the people at Joiku and what they've recommended (factory reset, checking certain settings) hasn't worked either. :-(

Hi all,
This post is about using the third party application JoikuSpot in USA (and other FCC governed countries) and is copied to the following threads:
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Phone-Applications/Joikuspot-not-working-on-brand-new-Nokia-808/m-p/...

http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/Help-Does-non-US-variant-808-purevie...
1) It doesn't matter where you get your Nokia 808 PureView from, ie it doesn't matter if it's a US, Singapore or Finnish variant.. If you are using that device on a network/carrier in the US, the device recognises this and is not going to allow you to make Ad-Hoc wlan connections, as per the regulations set out by the FCC.
2) I understand (this I am not certain on) that the FCC regulations came into force in 2011. Therefore for any device manufacturer since then, the device is not allowed to create Ad-Hoc networks otherwise the device manufacturer wouldn't get FCC approval.
3) The FCC restrictons are in this case technically talking about Ad-Hoc networks, not 'wifi direct' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct) networks that are used for example in Lumia 610/710/800/900.
4) I understand the US Variants of Nokia 808 PureView do not have JoikuSpot preinstalled.
5) I understand that US customers are not able to purchase JoikuSpot from Nokia Store.
6) JoikuSoft should be aware of this as they are making the software to create the Ad-Hoc networks. I will find someone to talk to JoikuSoft, failing that I will do it myself. I noticed a post from 'greentoy' claiming "According to Joikusoft Support, It should work fine in US, but they didn't know for sure.". Greentoy, if you're reading this please post me the JoikuSoft contact you had so I can sort this out with them.
It goes without saying, if you have Nokia 808 PureView in the US, and are using JoikuSpot successfully, then I am happy for you and don't want to cause problems for you, but I suspect the FCC would be happy to tell you about their feelings..
Are there any other questions I should be aware of using JoikuSpot in the US before I try to get in touch with JoikuSoft?

When I print business cards, they sometimes print 1/4 too high but not always.

I have my business cards in a Word document using an Avery template. I have used the same file for years. I never had a problem with my Canon printer but after buying an HP Photosmart D110 I have had nothing but problems. When I print then they print about 1/4 inch too high ruining the cardstock and wasting ink. This doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes I print and they are perfect but when I go back and print another, the problem returns. This is the same card stock I have used for years and when it is inserted in the printer it doesn't matter if it is a single page or a stack of them. I have tried previewing the page before printing and the alignment is correct. I've tried printing to a PDF and then printing the PDF, same problem. I try it on the Canon and no problem. Only reason I bought this in the first place was the cartridges were cheaper and I do a lot of color printing and scanning! I have just replaced the cartridges and did a head alignment so that is not the problem. I have tried it with regular paper and the problem persists. I'm ready to drop kick this thing and buy another Canon!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I have no problem printing the business cards out on a Canon printer, or a different HP printer I used to have, but the D110 is nothing but a pain in the you know what ! I'm using publisher and the avery 8371 card stock, I searched solutions for days and did everything possible but still they're not printing correctly!! I'm dissapointed in this printer, every time I have a problem with something it always seems to be an HP product!!! Very frustrating because I never had to mess with any settings in the other printers I had, I would just put the file in, change the quality and click the print button with no problems. I'm ready to throw this printer out the window Anyway thanks in advance and I hope somebody can help me with this issue !!!

I have a macbook pro OS 10.5.8. I've sync'ed it with an iPad 2. I would like to access the "cloud" but it seems my Leopard isn't sufficient. How high an OS upgrade would i need to use cloud? Most of my current apps wouldn't work with a too high upgrade.

I have a macbook pro OS leopard 10.5.8. I've synced it with an iPad 2. I cannot access the cloud because my OS is insufficient.

I need to know: what would be the least-high system upgrade I can install in order to access the cloud on my new iPad 2?

Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.

IMac Hard Drive expectations, Are mine too high?

Hey everyone.
I have a 27" iMac i5. Its around 22 months old now and its being used as a personal PC at home.
Lately, I have been experiencing HDD related issues, It hangs, load times are poor, OS takes ages to boot (windows and OSX)
I backed up all my data to external drives and did a clean OS restore to Lion. No help, first boot with the OS was just as bad as a boot full of clutter. Loading Windows on the win partition also sometimes gives me the "cannot find OS boot disk" error which is scary.
Anyway's doing research its all sure tell-tale signs of a failing HDD and ironically last night on my Win7 partition, I got the windows error message saying my "windows detected a hard disk problem, back up all data and contact your manufacture".
Now, back on topic. Is this reasonable? a $2000+ computer suffering from a hardware fault like this when the HDD has never had more than 30% of the 1TB used in its life? (everything I keep backed up on externals.)
I was honestly expecting a few more years out of this, **** even my 5 year old Macbook has never had an issue in its life and its been bagged around more places I can think of in its lifetime. How does a computer that sits on a desk suffer for a hardware failure such as this?
From day one, I had a faulty power board inside, it caused a loud electronic buzzing noise. I did not get this fixed for aroun 9 months as tbh, it sounded normal but in the last month leading upto the replacement, it got much louder over a few days. This was replaced by Apple and I was sent on my way happy it was fixed. could this have caused something to overload?
I am a little bit bitter which I am sure you can understand, but was my expectation of this hard drive just too high? or am I in my right to be a little upset by this?
And before anyone askes, I was OS when my warranty ran out, my Macbook, iPad 3XiPhones and Mac Mini are all covered by their own Apple Care. the only thing that isnt is the iMac.. just my luck!
Edit: the old link for the power board.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2737002

Thanks guys.
Just got off the phone to Applecare.
they confirmed my drive is faulty. Im just a little upset it died like this. I have never had a drive fail before. Id rather my externals go than the internal.
Spoke to Apple, they said that he spoke to his Tech Specalist and they would not offer a free replacement. I agree is its 10 months out of warranty, but even the Apple rep I was speaking too said he would not be impressed either if it was his personal computer
Oh well. Time to look at HDD Upgrade options! Not that I am totally impressed about it.
