Nokia Belle FP1 Pros and Bugs.

I have FP1 installed  on my 701.
I must say this update is significant improvement from the old belle in terms of features and functionality.
I'm happy that Nokia solved most of the problems that I have mentioned earlier.
/t5/Nseries-and-Symbian-Smartphones/All-about-Symbian-Belle-Problems/m-p/1269175#M283885
Highlights:-
Menu scrolls pretty fast.
Menu search is much better.
Apps and games open much faster.
Installation of apps is fast too.
Faster startup.
Nice transition effects than before.
Dolby digital plus seem to be a major highlight.
New widgets.
New Multitasking view.
New message conversation view.
Improved dropdown bar.
Improved music player.
New web browser.
Improved camera interface.
Bugs/Drawbacks:
1. Menu scroller is absent.
It is not even present in shortcut list (Homescreen-add shortcut), installations, File manager, add-new-contact and widget list!!
2. While pinch to zoom, Image shakes.
3. Battery backup seem to be adversely affected.
4. I opened the old maps application (maps from 111.030.0609) and tried to download maps from maps loader, It shows list of available continents and when I try to download the maps,  the wifi disconnects immediately, everytime.
5. Connecting phone in mass storage mode makes the phone hang sometimes.
6. Opening multiple qt applications and some other normal applications causes the new qt application to not to launch. Maybe this is due to use of close all in multitasking view?
7. E mail seem to be not notifying new mail arrival even after setting retrieval frequency to soonest.
8. Switching between open apps in multitasking view is not so occurate or fast. Sometimes it doesn't switch at all, we need to be more precise.
9. Some menu icons become black colored sometimes and normal when you use menu(See PIc).
10. Adding a new contact and its details is still a problem once the keypad(board) pops up, we need to close keypad to scroll to add further details!
11. Stereo video recording is missing as I was misguided by the specification page of Nokia.
*2 Microphones for stereo recording! (Is that possible to provide that in the next update?)
12. The graphic of volume up and down when we press volume rocker is more ugly now. Not seem to be alligned in place.
13. My phone is getting heated up if I use maps, and multiple applications. This never happened before.
14. No exit option for file manager. Only way is to press End key.
15. Calender is missing week view.
16. Long pressing on the song while in portrait mode with small cover flow in the music player seem to be not working, maybe while connected with PC.
Thank You.

Display turns always on my 701  after locking using side lock key. I think this happens after connecting to PC in Nokia suite mode.
Also in the gallery we cannot goto last picture(Image at bottom of gallery) by scrolling first picture(Image at the begining of gallery) by swiping left to right.
Connecting to PC causes problems in the device, no problem working with PC.
FP1 is Very poor software for connecting to PC in Mass storage as well as in Nokia suite mode, Device hangs and display won't turn off after lock respectively.
Nokia solve all these immediately.
Hope 808 comes with updated FP1.

  • Nokia Belle FP2 -Pros and bugs.

    Nokia Belle FP2(Sw.Version 113.010.1506) seems to be another cool release by Nokia with many bug fixes and lot of improvement in ease of usability.
    Here are some of the things I would like to share:-
    1.New music player with new appearance and correct album list.
    2.Search shortcut on the homescreen.
    3.Music player pause and play in the dropdown status bar.
    4.Improved transition effects.
    5.Very good in place pop up options for fast selection of items.
    6.Improved video player aspect ratio switching with double tap.
    7.Improved speed in file manager.
    8.Cool new extra widgets.
    9.Nice looking security lock keypad.
    10.Nokia 808 style camera interface is a highlight in FP2 with lot of speed improvement in capturing an image!
    11.Very good new lock screen with fast access to alerts.
    12.Camera can be opened while keypad is locked!
    13.New keyboard with native language.
    14.Improved volume level design.
    15. Improved selection of text for copying and pasting.
    16. Apps open much faster especially like the Dictionary app.
    Bugs/Drawbacks:-
    1.The worst keyboard ever.
    A. Lots of eye movement, have see both body of typing and suggestion. No predictions is used, though prediction is present, it is not used for helping the user to write the message fast but to struggle in selecting appropriate words.
    First type regardless of tiny mispellings and check whether the word is in the suggestions or not and select appropriate word, instead of the phone selecting appropriate word itself and helping the user to select the word by itself.
    user has to see the suggested words and select the word instead of looking at the message body.
    please don't make our phones unusable.
    B. No right and left arrow keys to move between tiny letters. 
    These keys appear only when you tap on the body of the message in messaging only, not in an app like opera mini.
    Try and try again until you get the cursor beside correct letter!
    C. The suggetions on top of the keypad takes extra speace and blocks the typing area apps like opera mini. See attachment.
    2. Unusable gallery app.
    A. Now there are only two options in gallery. Add tag and delete with mark option. No mark option to select multiple images and send them via mail or bluetooth. You can send one by one by opening an image and then by using options-send.
    B. There is no add to favourites folder or any other custom folder to move your important photos or images of your important documents etc.... you need to scroll to the correct image and open it. Now the more images you have more  scrolling and time it takes for you to see your image.
    C. The new gallery app cannot zoom in high resolution photos or the photos from 808 pureview.
    It shows blank black screen when you zoom.
    D. Image editor cannot zoom the image like as with old editor. Very limited zooming. like you zoom in gallery.
    3. Battery performance seem to be improved now, but not like initial Belle.
    4. Camera:
    Option to select front camera has been removed. Very bad.
    5.Mass storage mode.
    Now with FP2, Connecting in Mass storage mode hangs your phone completely, only way is to remove the battery.
    Thanks.
    In love with Nokia.

    Hi, I've got a Nokia 700 with Nokia Belle FP2.
    No matter if I use Bing or Google for searching, it does not offer any local search results to me, although the browser supports the HTML5 geolocation API.

  • Nokia belle refresh Email and calendar update not ...

    Hi! I'm using the Nokia E7 running Nokia Belle refresh and my problem is that the email and calendar update released by Nokia recently is downloaded onto my device but is not installing, it shows installing, then restarts the device without finishing the installation. Anyone who can assist in solving this puzzle?

    Hi, if you have an antivirus software on your e7 then this could be the cause. Uninstall it and it probably will work.

  • Nokia 700 and Belle FP1 (Product Code 059L5V1)

    My unlocked Nokia 700 (Product Code 059L5V1) never got the Belle FP1 upgrade, and so far hasn't got FP2 several months on from release. Can someone from Nokia advise -
    1. Why not - it's unlocked, and so far I've used it on both O2 and Vodafone Contracts
    2. It's a UK model to my knowledge
    3. When am I likely to get it / how can I get it.
    I was fobbed off with FP1 and so far all requests to Nokia have again been fobbed off with a combination of "it's your network provider" or "it will be soon" - this was months ago. Now that there are no longer any (to my knowledge) Service Centre's in the UK that isn't an option either.
    I've always been a loyal Nokia customer - but this is really starting to annoy me now (and the lack of support on this matter from Nokia).
    Please can one of the Nokia mods / employees look into this and advise what is going on here ?

    hi mate,
    sorry to hear your frustration. the way it works is that your phone has a product code. now, if your phone is a branded handset (e.g. Vodafone with all their custom wallpapers and apps), then you need to get in touch with them regarding availability of the update. it may be the case that they have not approved the update, even though Nokia has contacted them and said here you can have it.
    in the other case, your phone is a country variant (which is what it sounds like to me), and is dependent on your region's Nokia Care approving the update and making their own customisations to it. it happens sometimes, but the regional Nokia doesn't approve the update, and therefore it is never released to the end user. this is an unbranded handset. therefore, unbranded is different to having an unlocked phone. you will need to persist with your Nokia Care in this case regarding the update: http://nokia.com/support
    You know I've heard those lines so many times it's beginning to sound like cut-and-paste.
    The fact that he mentioned PRODUCT CODE in the subject line is a fair indication that he knows that his phone has a PRODUCT CODE.
    My 059L5V1 is a country variant which was both unbranded and unlocked.  It now has the 059G2D1 generic EU FP2 firmware on it.  I'm not allowed to say how I achieved this, or I'll get banned.
    If it wasn't for the fact my 808 is so good I would have given up on Nokia by now.

    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nseries-and-Symbia​n-Smartphones/Belle-Feature-Pack-1-for-the-N8/m-p/​...
    It's known that Nokia Belle FP1 is available only for Nokia 603, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701 (and newer phones as well). Those devices that won't get the FP1 update are named '1st gen. S^3 devices' for all I know. That's what makes me say that Nokia 500 is a first generation S^3 device - because no massive updates will be available for it anymore.

    Do you guys know,when the ''Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2'' is coming out for our Nokia N8..?! im waiting for this thing,like,ages!!!

    Nokia Belle FP1 is not available for the Nokia N8-00 as this variant of Nokia Belle is intended for Nokia models 603, 700, 701 and the 808 PureView only. The latest update currently being made available for this device is Nokia Belle Refresh.

  • Mkv format MOVIES not running on belle fp1

    Hi frndz,
    It is so irritating that I cannot play any mkv format movies on my nokia 603.
    It is a totally time consuming process of converting the movies into supportable format.so ,NOKIA please provide us any MKV MOVIE PLAYER like that of andriod to resolve this issue.

    Nokia Belle FP1 supports MKV playback. MKV however is not a video encoding but a container for a combination of audio and video files, usually MPG-4 video and AAC for audio.
    That said a MKV container you use on your PC or Mac may not play on your 603 because the encoding is too high. For use on the 603 it would be advisable to use an encoding using the main or baseline profile with a level of upto 3.1
    You will find several tools online which will allow you to transcode your video files to an encoding which the 603 will be able to play.

    Hi all,
    I have updated my N8-00 from Nokia Belle to Nokia Belle Refresh via Nokia Suite and the file was 306MB in size and after the update I did not get Microsoft Apps but received Nokia Maps though I had Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 installed before the Nokia Belle Refresh update and also I did not get the Colorize IT application also and I heard that Social was also updated to version1.5.234 but mine is still at 1.5.216.
    Overall, my Nokia N8-00 has become more stable and performance in speed has increased with this update. I am from Kenya and received Nokia Belle Refresh shortly after Skyee announced that it is being rolled out on 27th August 2012.
    Can anyone from Nokia or who has installed Nokia Belle Refresh confirm if Social was updated to version 1.5.234 or is it still at version 1.5.216 and also if Microsoft Apps were included in the Nokia Belle Refresh update after installation via Nokia Suite. Here is the Official Changelog from Nokia.
    Thanks.

  • Nokia belle updated but still as anna?

    As the subject suggests, I have updaetd via nokia suite to Belle but still appears to be Anna. N8 in the UK.
    Any ideas?

    I also got the same issue, for my N8 - 0599255.
    It showed me that the update is available, asked me to login to a installation screen with my username and psw, took a backup of everything, but it failed, so it retsarted the phone on its own, then took and backup and showed me a screen of UPDATING N8 , installing and then restored the back. while doing it, it restartd the phone also and showed TEST MODE,like it normally does when you do a update.
    All done, tell me NOKIA BELLE is ready and i check the phone, no difference atall :-)
    S/w version shows ANNA still on .
    not sure whats going on .
    Hope noka fixes this ASAP and we can BELLE THE N8.
    Cheers

  • Nokia Belle roll-out has started - check here for ...

    Hi all,
    good news to share! We are very happy to announce that Nokia Belle is now available for download for Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7 and Nokia Oro in the majority of our markets, for example: India, Russia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Poland, UK, Germany, Italy, Vietnam and Indonesia. For Nokia 500, Nokia Belle will be made available within the next few weeks.
    You can find,
    - an overview about what Nokia Belle is all about via http://europe.nokia.com/nokia-belle-update
    - the availability of Nokia Belle for your country via http://europe.nokia.com/nokia-belle-update-availability
    - and all the latest FAQs via http://europe.nokia.com/nokia-belle-update-faq
    Also check our story with more details about Nokia Belle in Nokia Conversations.
    To update your phone, you'll need to connect it to a PC via a USB cable and then start Nokia Suite (make sure you have the latest version 3.3.86 installed) – as Nokia Belle is a major upgrade, it is not possible to update over the air / OTA and the update also won’t be available in Nokia Software Updater. For a step-by-step guide,  you can check the Nokia support pages and we have also done a video that tells you everything you need to know. Please note that the update to Nokia Belle removes your apps & music licenses, but you can re-download compatible apps easily via Nokia Store and your music licenses can be restored by playing the respective track. (We’ve done more detailed explanations in the FAQ pages, so check here for more infos.)
    If you get a notification on your phone that the Nokia Belle update is available for you and it doesn’t show in Nokia Suite, please make sure that you have the latest Nokia Suite version 3.3.86 installed and then use the refresh button there.
    pS: And last but not least, I also want to use the opportunity to introduce Suvi aka Kerttu, who will keep you up to date with news about software updates in the future. Welcome to the Forum, Suvi!

  • How to report a bug in Nokia Belle so that next up...

    Hello,
    I was wondering, where and how would I report a bug that I have repeatedly seen on my 808 Pureview? It is said that Accenture handles the support for Symbian now, but how do I actually get to a place where they receive bug reports for Symbian?
    The bug is purely linked to the OS, it is when I type text messages sometimes one key would just get stuck,and the system would freeze, for like 15 seconds, and then the phone would have no other choice but to reboot. This happens from time to time. And when you wrote a very long message before this bug happens, that makes you pretty angry usually.
    I have a Nokia 808 Pureview running the last version of Nokia Belle FP2. Everything is technically "up to date"...so I just want to report this bug so that future updates do correct that, if possible!
    Thanks!

    Although there is little chance of any updates, support and bug fixes should continue for a while yet. This is a user to user forum, you can contact Nokia here http://www.nokia.com/gb-en/contact/ and if it is possible to initiate a bug fix for your phone this is the best route  to follow.
    Good luck

    For those of you waiting for the Tesco update, have you tried visiting an NCC to get a generic version put on? I know with the Anna update I got mine done early coz I couldn't be bothered to wait for Tesco to release their version. As for the overall response to Belle, I've chosen to give it a miss. Unless FP1 really sorts a lot of Belles issues out.

    Hi everyone,
    This week Nokia Beta Labs team released a fix for the Wi-Fi disconnect / limited connectivity that plagued Belle FP1 / FP2 devices when these were connected with older wi-fi routers. It seems that the fix really does its magic :-)
    Check it out here: http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/wlan-software-update
    Looking forward to a global final release via SW update (OTA) / Nokia Suite asap.
    Thanks again to the product team at Beta Labs for addressing what used to be a major connectivity issue.
