Nokia Belle needs to be fixed

Hi nokia community,
I'm writing in the hope to find perfect solution to three problems I'm having with nokia belle latest version.
Recently I bought nokia 701, then I update it to the latest available firmware versions from nokia, also updated Qt version. But since then my device is not working as I expected, it frequently freezes whilst chatting with nimbuzz or using opera mobile or while typing email and I'll have to remove battery to restart the phone. It's extremely annoying for me, belle is not what I expected to me, andi will recommend everyone against buying any symbian based devices.
Not only bugs and issues comes with belle, also comes a great deal of feeling alienated, because of lack of interest from nokia due to windows phone and disgusting apps/software support.
This is my last symbian device, would surly go for android or windows phone.
Conclusion: Nokia strongly needs to focus on symbian development if they want to continue symbian line otherwise there's no future for this pathetic piece of OS. Kindly fix existing annoying bugs by launching another update for belle.
Highly Disappointed,
geekObelle.

I do hope that rumour of a September update is inaccurate and something comes along much sooner.
Nokia need to act now. They are already on the outer margins of the smartphone market, their smartphones largely bought by loyal customers built up from a time when Nokia produced market leading products. You can't rely on that loyalty for ever when you push out junk like Belle, half cripple peoples phones and then (potentially) take half a year or more to sort it out... or not if those leaked screen shots you mention are going to be representative of the finished product.
If the next update is to maintan the same look and appearance of the current version of Belle, Nokia might as well just give up now.

How can I remove nokia belle and return to Anna?

I have an E7-00 that was recently replaced under warranty as the usb port had become very iffy and it was almost impossible to charge. The replacement phone has Belle installed, which is the most un-useable piece of software I have seen in a fair while. It is far less useful for business than Anna was, and I need to remove it and step back to Anna, if only because I used to be able to have 4 email inboxes on my front screen as well as the time, profile, date AND notifications area... now this takes three home screens to achieve which is completely useless.
Short of binning the phone and returning to an E90 (beginning to wish I'd never moved away from it) how can I make my E7 useable again?

your request is being summarily denied. just read this forum. there are even separate threads for anna roll-back and no heed/hear from nokia!
they clearly maintain their stance.
it's not going to work out. i share your pain and frustration.
desperately waiting for an update from "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" to "Nokia Belle" with all the fixes, and without any new tumours!

From "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" to "Nokia Belle"...

Dearest Nokia,
A lot of us have shed our heart, mind and soul in this forum, listing the critically required fixes for "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609".
You are saying that "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" is great in many ways, but ALAS, it has crippled our devices.
Can we request you to publish a list of all the fixes to "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" in the upcoming "Nokia Belle" update, in such a manner that all issues are fixed, and that no new tumours are caused?
Best regards,
E-Series Customer for 15 years

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.

Nokia N8 with Nokia Belle does not recognize heads...

My headset (WH-701) is no longer recognized by my nokia N8 after I had updated to nokia belle. I first have to put my headset into the 3,5 mm AV connector before being recognized, and even then the headset may stop working after a few minutes. Once the headphone is working I still cannot make use of the (music)buttons on the headset (louder, softer, next, previous, etc.) Please can someone help with this problem? There must be a solution for this? I am using the headphones every day.
I know that already started on several topics, but Nokia has still not responded to this problem!
Thanks in advance for your help

hi there mate,
if you are having problems with your phone, you can try checking via the phone itself or via Nokia Suite, if there are any firmware updates available, and to please update to the latest version offered. If there are no updates, try re-installing your current firmware, and if that doesn't work, then Restoring to factory settings. Failing that, perform a three-finger hard reset and if that doesn't work either, then you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.

Nokia Belle upgrade on Nokia X7 - Security Code er...

I have just upgraded to Belle software but now there is an annoying thing were I keep getting asked for a security code (which I hadn't used previously) on boot up, if you put the default code in it fails(12345,00000), but if you cancel you can still operate the phone normally.
Very odd...Anyone have any fixes for this?
thanx in advance!

Hi all,
here's our official Q&A on this.
Q: After the update to Nokia Belle, my phone asks me to enter new security code. I do this and get an error message stating “code error”. What should I do?
A: Please try again a few times. There are very rare cases in which the phone incorrectly asks for new a security code but does not accept the entered code. In that situation the problem vanishes by entering any code until the phone stops asking for it. After this, the code you had entered before the update works again normally.
Br,
yvonne
my E7-00 is asking for a security code in start up, not for a new security code , can i treat it the same ? knowing that i was using a different code than the default before the update.
please advice.

N8 on NOKIA Belle - Audio songs are not working an...

I installed Nokia Belle yesterday, but all my songs (Downloaded from OVI Music) are not working anymore. Its saying either the licence is expired or missing. Can anyone please help me out ?

Vishal Soni
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I noticed from FAQs the following tip:
If you have this problem after software update, format memory card in your device. Refer to your device user guide for instructions. Following this your music need to be resynchronised from your PC back to your device using the Nokia Music Player -application.
I guess you could just remove the non-working music files from the device and re-download those from Nokia Music Player your account/purchased music section. Maybe it would be best to try this first with just one song :-)

Photo album in nokia belle - sync with picasa/fb

why nokia is not yet revealed its photo viewer in album mode viewing..
1000s of Photos loaded into my photos but can not segregate based on album view. !
Andriod is giving nice photo viewing experience...
Also there is no option in belle to sync with internet photos like picasa.. But android is having this facility and giving amazing experience for its users..
Could any one please let me know when will this feature come to belle or is there any external app applicable now ?

This is so ridiculous I can't believe I'm writing it. It's really nice to have a backup of your photos on your computer, but the one thing I was actually looking forward to being synced was my Albums and Tags. Neither of those get synced to Ovi Suite during Photo Sync. Even worse is that the albums you create within Ovi Suite don't get synced back to your device either. So all that organization that you did, doesn't even carry over to where you want to have it.
Nokia, you need to update Photos Sync so that (1) We can add tags to photos through the Suite and have those tags sync back to our device, as well as having tags on our phone sync back to the Suite. (2) Our albums we create on the device sync back to Ovi Suite and albums created in Ovi Suite get synced with the phone. With those two features added, and the addition of separate sync of photo and video, you have now made the Photos section perfect.

Nokia Belle Feature Pack 1

In
http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/03/01/all-about-nokia-belle-feature-pack-1
we can have an overview of Belle Feature Pack 1 and some key features..
It's stated that Nokia 603, 700 and 701 will have this update.
Will it be made available, at some time, as an update to the same phones that got Belle recently from Anna, like E7 or N8?
Best regards

Hi all,
to clarify the point if the Nokia Belle Featurepack 1 will be made available for N8, C7, E7, X7, E6, C6-01 and Nokia 500, here is the official statement from our Nokia Communications team.
This Nokia Belle Feature Pack has been tailored and will be made available for Nokia 603, Nokia 700, and Nokia 701. Due to hardware requirements and specifications, the Nokia Belle Feature Pack 1 will not be made available to other Symbian devices.
As for the question if there are future updates to Symbian phones, like N8, C7, E7, E6, X7, C6-01, Nokia 500:
We regularly deliver software updates to all Nokia phones to give our consumers both performance improvements as well as additional features. We are committed to continue software support for Symbian through 2016.

Hi Yvonne
Thanks for the info.
Can you tell us when are you planning to release for us the bug fixes and the missing widgets for Symbian^3 devices updated to Belle?
Your answer will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Downloaded Nokia Belle on my N8 - problem cant use...

Hi there i'm new to this but so dont shout at me if I have posted this incorrectly! Thanks
I have connected my handset to my PC and started to download Nokia Belle onto my device, the only problem is, is that ive ignored the message "do not touch phone, even when it asks for regional settings and passwords etc" however I have done and the phone has started up whilst it waqs trying to update. Now, when the bar prompt "installation.........." comes across the screen it freezes, and it cannot update anymore. Its about half way through.
Even when Ive disconnected the cable from the phone the prompt is stuck there even when I switch off/on.....I have tried to reset by holding the power button for 8 seconds, and switching back on but the "installation" bar still appears and wont let me use any other function of the phone.
Have I permanently knackered it, or is there a fix to this?
Many thanks

@dazzym
You raise an interesting question as the flashing of update has completed otherwise you would have a "black screen". It is possible that device could be brought to life by carrying out a three key depressed power on reset with device off, however you would probably find that various applications such as Nokia Store would not work afterwards as data deleted from both C:\ and E:\. You may have to reconcile yourself to visiting a Nokia Care Point for device firmware to be re-installed, but the above procedure may at least restore device to be able to make calls in the interim.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

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

N70 problems that need to be fixed in next FW

Since there's been a time since Nokia released a new FW for the N70, maybe they need to know what need to be fixed, and ASAP, since these are severe problems.
1. The Music Player: It starts slow, very slow. In the v2 and v3 FW it used to open in a second, now it takes almost a minute. It displays the "Opening" sequence, and then "Processing" sequence, and only after that you enter the Music Menu. Also, veru important issue: If you go to All Songs -> select a song, and then hold a button from the joystick, the Music Player crashes. But the opening is the MOST IMPORTANT. Make it quicker.
2. The Gallery has to be faster. We have to wait a lot of time for the Gallery to open, then we select Pictures & Videos. Here we find a "Opening" sequence of about a minute, and then we wait a lot until the pictures are loaded (if they're newly added).
3. Speaking of pictures, when N70 owners make a picture/video, they don't really have time to view the picture/video, since the viewing time is very limited (about 3 seconds). How about making a BACK button, so that we'll go back to the viewfinder when we're done viewing newly captured moments?
4. When in Messaging -> Delivery reports, you can't use the C button to delete delivery reports.
5. No information about Radio in Active Standby, when Radio is on and playing.
These are only a few of the problems that the N70 continues to have. Please, other N70 users, post your issues/bugs here, so that Nokia will try (hopefully) to improve the N70. I know the N70 is not an important product anymore, but it does not mean it has to have serious issues.

Hi all,
I have my problems described on /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=24567
1. It's video capture problem - microphone sensitivity is too high (only on mp4 and only on 5.xx firmware). Also refresh rate during videocapture is very slow. It's not possible to make nice mp4 video capture! Interesting is that 3gp capture is nice, fast with clear sound, only mp4 capture have a problem...
2. I don't know why it's not possible to make clean reboot now. (e.g. on FExplorer, reboot). N70 with last firmware during reboot freezes (white screen)
3. Should be possible to turn off the Nokia sound during N70 starting? I have little childrens and every morning when I turn on my N70 they all awake...
NOKIA, please, is it possible to prepare new fw?

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 shell in c6

few people told that belle and anna updates are not available for c6-00 because of s60v5 then how does nokia belle shell working in c6-00 ?????in my phone when iam switching to that one its showing me complete belle features ........

I agree with you completely on that. Nokia used to have a good name here before Smartphones.
Somehow, providers here never caught on to the early wave of the first Smartphones from Nokia. They just never sold it because prices were high and I believe there was no partnership between Nokia and the providers.
Come iPhone and Android, the providers here marketed it like crazy. Nokia needed and needs that kind of partnership.
Now, Nokia is partnering and pushing Nokia Lumia Windows Phone with these providers. I don't think they will get their name back. No one likes Windows Phones.
**bleep** like hell. People would buy the more popular Android, some heavily subsidized.
Nokia is a brand of handset/hardware + software.
Android is just software with **bleep** quality hardware.
People ♥ Nokia Hardware... and Nokia Belle (Carla and Donna in the future) would save Nokia... NOT Windows Phone.
I am about to throw my Windows Machine out again.... out of frustration of using this heavy-set heavy on performance Windows.
Duh!

Such a shame... Belle not only looks Androidish but is such a major improvement on how the older phones work that it might just encourage Nokia owners to stay on a little longer. If as you say folk there will just switch to Android, MS trying to buy marketshare via Nokia would only hurt Nokia in the long term. Still, although Canadians can get Belle via flashing, that's just likely too much hassle for the average phone user who is not so tech savy or even cares to go through all of that to get an update that's being made everywhere else. I believe that if Belle phones were allowed to get to retailers in N. America and marketed well, it could surprise people.
But Nokia's decisions and resultant financal losses speak volumes, and time will tell.
