Nokia E6-00 User Experience and Development needed...
My Mobile Details:
Device Info:
Model E6-00
Product RM-609
OS : S60 5.1 (Symbian ^3)
Symbian Symbian^3
Firmware 021.014
OS 5.2 ; QT 4.7.3 ; QT Mobility 1.0.2
Messaging : (SMS)
* You cannot save the sortby settings . Only for the instance view you can sort the message by date,sender. once you go out of the inbox and come back again , by default its sorted only by date
Profiles :
* Themes settings are not included in profile. You cannot have unique themes for each profile. Themes settings applied to the phone. So the feature we had in ordinary nokia basic phones where , if we change our user profile , the theme which we selected for the particular profile will be applied is not available in this high end business phone. Need Development
Music (Music Player):
* You cannot set the customer equaliser, only 5 preset are available bass booster, classical , jazz, pop, rock, default preset.
* In playlist sorting feature is not available. Moving the songs becomes difficult by using move by option. if there is drag & move feature , it will be good.
* You cannot move to the Next song on the go. You need to open your phone , use widgets to skip the song. If the mobile volume control (up/down key) long press helps us to move next song it will be good. Need modification in the firmware.
Videos :
* Moving to the Next video is not possible with the video player, only fast forward works. Next option is not available. You need to go back and select next song
Mails :
* Only 250 mails you can store on your inbox , Size limitations matters
Taskmanger:
* Task Manager application , is not available . To look at your phone memory utilization , Network bandwidth, RAM Memory etc...
About (i) under phone management :
* It doesn't even shows your mobile model , IMEI no , IMSI etc... Memory used Phone memory, mass storage, Memory card memory status. It Gives only Info about Nokia Corporation , Which is of No use.
I Hope this features will be included in next software update. As its the New Version of Anna OS. Waiting for someone to look at this post and reply.
Any additional info needed , feel free to contact me.
Thanks & Regards,

Community Manager's note:
Corporate identity details removed,
I'm generally disappointed with the user experience and functionality offered by Symbian Anna on the E6 too. It's ok but nothing to shout about at all, especially considering that it is supposed to be the current pinnacle of Nokia's offerings in the smartphone market.
The last Symbian/S60 phone I had was the Nokia 3230 about six years ago and apart from the very obvious cosmetic changes as far as I can tell there have been few other leaps forward.
This perception can often be down to the little things, the numerous little functions, user choices and options that an operating system could have.
Silly things like I can't choose which folder the camera saves pictures to. My two year old 6700C running Series 40 lets you do that, Anna doesn't. Come on catch up!
Oh and when you enter the directory in which images are saved, Series 40 gives you a little thumbnail preview in the listing. That's a bit too much for Anna.
The Anna media player doesn't even equal the functionality of that on the 6700C. Some might say the E6 isn't a "music" phone but then neither was the 6700C and it's two years old now. Come on Anna, catch up again!
Anna will not let you directly access the folder in which the stock ringtones are located. So you can't delete the unwated ones or add new ones to it to keep them all in one place. Guess what? Series 40 on the old 6700C lets you do that.
... and don't even get me started on the disorganised unintuitive mess of the photo viewer application.
I'm now thinking that Anna is just a cosmetic facelift to Symbian to bridge the gap between now and when the Windows 7 Mobile devices are released. In places, Anna doesn't even compare well against Nokia's own feature phone OS.

Another User Frustrated and the Disappointed
I am currently a producer for the NBA and a former segment director on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live. I started editing on 3/4" U-matic video tape years ago and now work with tapeless acquisition formats such as RED, the Canon MK II, and Sony XDCAM cameras. I do not currently have nor have I EVER had ANY problems adapting to new technologies and new directions in my field of work. The ability to adapt to changes in the industry keeps you competitive and insures you won't be left behind.
That being said, I am extremely worried about Apple and their dedication to its pro users. I have been a loyal Apple user since Mac OS System 6. Sacrificing functionality for simplicity is not always a good thing. Over the past two decades Microsoft Windows has been known solely as a creature of function, and a very frustrating one at that. I fell in love with Apple because they have always strived to achieve perfect harmony in the marriage of form WITH function. Their products were simple and powerful. Final Cut Pro X marks a defined shift in Apple's priorities (though when you look at Apple's history, this has been coming for a while). It is now very clear that Apple wants to be a consumer products company. It's probably a matter of time until the Mac OS and the iOS merge. Mac OS X Lion will be the first step towards that transition.
Fox Sports and the NBA invested in multiple Mac Pros and Final Cut Studio suites powered by Final Cut servers. After Apple discontinued their servers, we all began to worry about Apple's dedication to their professional customers. Final Cut X is another step towards Apple abandoning the very user base that helped keep them alive for 20 years. Fox Sports and the NBA will more than likely cease using Final Cut due to the lack of professional features in Final Cut X and the discontinuation of their media server. This has nothing to do with learning a new, modern system and everything to do with Final Cut X being a subpar product absent of the tools we need to GET THE JOB DONE.
The following timeline was pulled from a post from another user. I share his sentiments:
The real tragedy here is if Apple thinks all the anger over FCP X is just about that particular software, and not the growing fear over the last few years that pro apps and gear are a fading priority for Apple. For instance:
* It took almost 2.5 years to go from Final Cut Studio 2 to Final Cut Studio 3, and Final Cut Studio 3 was just a moderate update. Then it took almost another 2 full years to introduce Final Cut Pro X, which removed important tools and features that post houses require to function in this industry.
* Apple bought Shake, and then cancelled it almost immediately. Apple told us all that there would be a next-generation app coming in Shake's place, but that never showed up.
* Apple started letting Logic atrophy.
* Apple "phoned-in" the last few Mac Pro updates, just slapping in some new Intel chips, but not adding value such as 1) more expansion slots (three slots is not a lot for a workstation), and 2) never bothering to include an eSATA port, even though tons of media professionals started using eSATA, 3) never bothering to include a USB3 port, etc. etc. Many people are wondering if the new Thunderbolt port will be Apple's excuse to give up on the Mac Pro altogether. This is a real possibility.
* Apple stopped updating its "Pro" page almost two years ago, here: [url]http://www.apple.com/pro/[/url]
* Apple stopped attending NAB, and other standard industry events.
* Multiple rumors that Apple was trying to sell its Pro Apps division.
People have spent a lot of time and money building their businesses and careers around FCP. But since the iPhone launched, FCP and other pro apps and gear have gotten noticeably less attention.
That makes a lot of people nervous, and left to wonder what Apple's intentions are. You really can't help but wonder because Apple is so ridiculously silent about its intentions, which works fine on the consumer side but not when people are investing tens of thousands of dollars in apps and gear around Apple.
Combine that with Apple shipping a new version of Final Cut that is so radically different and so underpowered, and also discontinuing sales for FCS 3 suites and FCP Server (with no explanation about Server's demise or any intentions on bringing back multi-user functionality) and you can see how the dam finally burst in the Pro community and the angry flood waters rushed in.
Apple better start communicating better with its pro customers, and re-assuring them that it's committed to professional work in this new era of the iPhone/iPad. Otherwise, a lot of people will be heading for the doors.Hello Derek,
I'm a Graphic and Web designer, but have on ocassion have had to do some video work for clients, and had a passing interest in what Apple was going to do with FCP. And then the 'Net exploded in Pro Rage.
But this is a kind of disturbingly familiar to me. The Design cimmunity had been feeling marginalized by Apples' full blown pursuit of the consumer market for a while. We've been put in the position of where a Mac Pro is TOO much, and often too costly for a small studio or freelancer, and the iMac is not flexible or expandable enough. Tho' they are now positioning the iMac as the "Mac Pro for the rest of us."
But I frakkin' cringe every timeI I hear the word "magical" come out the mouth of an Apple exec.
In the early 90's Apple virtually INVENTED "Desktop Publishing" with the Mac SE, Pagemaker, Postscript and the LaserWriter which changed literally everything in Publishing and Design... forever. They have since seemed to lose all interest in the industry they essentially created. Apple's attention seems to be fully consumed with the users of iThings, but hey, I work for a living.
a Pro Editor's take on FCP X:
"...these aren’t omissions. They’re mistakes. They’re conscious, deliberate choices Apple made and got wrong. And as long as FCP X shows you all your bins all the time, and as long as FCP X doesn’t have the concept of tracks in the timeline, it’s going to be literally unusable in commercial post." - Jeffery Harrell
http://jefferyharrell.tumblr.com/post/6830049685/what-went-wrong-with-final-cut- pro-x
It's very insightful, specific and worth a read.
Over the years, I have generally preferred the Mac as a platform. It's a more elegant and less maintenance-intensive user experience and (for the most part) gets out of my way and lets me work. With Apple's current relentless pursuit of the "consumer computing" market, they seem to have lost interest in the professional market. But who's creating the apps and content for users to "consume?" The Mac Pro is now the last in the upgrade cycle, and last years update was dissapointing for the lack of Pro level capabilities that were highly desired in the professional community. I recall when Mac towers were first to get the shiny. While they are still certainly heavy metal, and priced to match, they are no longer awesome. They are not the dominant machines the G4 and G5 towers were, and you can now purchase workstation class Xeon machines on the PC side from several makers
I certainly can't do pre-press or serious web design on an iPad, appealing little slab of electric crack it may be.
"Final Cut Pro X review: Apple will happily **** off 5,000 professionals to please 5,000,000 amateurs." - Daniel Jalkut, on Twitter (via Daring Fireball)
Pretty much sums up where Apple's seems to be. It's not the specific problems of FCP X that worries me, it's Apple's ATTITUDE. And illuminates why at times I feel Apple doesn't always have my interests as a Creative Pro at heart. At one time we were Apple's core and most loyal market, but I increasingly feel dismissed by Apple. Apple kicked the Design community to the curb years ago. And they antagonize Adobe at our professional peril. I literally live and die by Adobe's Design apps, without them I am literally irrelevant in the publishing world.
But Apple is so frustratingly close mouthed about EVERYTHNG, that it's particularly hellish to try to plan for one's professional needs.
I feel your pain. -
I'm a recently transformed "Windows to Apple" user, and I need to run various Windows software. Before installing Windows, I would like to hear from experiences from users if it works well. Also, I have an "Office for PC" that I need to re-download, however I was advised by someone that this software cannot be downloaded even if I had Windows in my MAC and that I will have to buy a new "Office for MAC" software. Thanks.
Yes, what you are looking at will work.
"Most of this would be for access to the shared folders which is not the same as RDP, correct? So i could
have myself connect from school to pull a word document, my friend connect from home to get the excel spreadsheet for our table top gaming, and my family connect to pull pictures from the shared folder on the server all at the same time. Because they
are accessing the shared folders it is not a RDP where they are accessing the server itself for administration."
This statement is correct. All of them would be able to be accessing the shared folders at the same time. This is the purpose of shared folders.
"the 1 user and RDP part is where I'm getting a little confused i think.
For the RDP part I thought that only applied to the server itself and not any of the client computers
connected to the server. So you are still limited to the 2 users to connect concurrently to the server or a client computer at any time?"
Sorry, not trying to confuse you. You mentioned to connect to a local machine at the same time. If you are staying away from RDP, then you won't have this issue. I would keep all shared folders on the server, not on any workstations.
You are correct 2 people can be RDP into a server at once. For client computers (workstations) you are limited to 1 person at a time. If you setup Anywhere Access correctly, then your friends and family should not need to RDP into a
client computer, they should only need to access the shared folders.
Something to keep in mind...for Anywhere Access to work, you will need to purchase a public certificate. You can do this from GoDaddy.com, Comodo or others. I would recommend either Godaddy or comodo. They make it easy and give plenty of instructions
on how to obtain the certificate. You will probably also have to purchase a domain name, and a static IP from your ISP. To fully do what you are looking at, it will take some out of pocket $$. -

as for problem with uninstalling mcafee (or any other antivirus, for that matter, just download the uninstaller from the software company e.g. http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507 for mcafee.
that said i believe you get to choose if you want mcafee and/or office when you go through the inital boot, the "on-screen instructions"

Nokia's user interface and software A terrible e...
(hope this is in the right section, here goes)
I got my E63 about a month ago. I thought it only fair to list my grievances with the phone so far, because I am really close to selling it and buying something else, and I think Nokia deserves to know the reasons why, and will hopefully improve in the future.
I will start off with what I love about the phone, because I do in fact, really like it. The slim size, excellent keyboard, great connectivity like 3G and Wi-fi, and the reasonable battery life, make it a great phone, but its in the user interface, and actual usage of the phone, where things really start to fall flat.
The user interface is very disorganized and difficult.
Why is everything so hard to find and use? For example, if I want to change the applications that appear on my home screen, I need to navigate the following directory tree:
Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Personalisation > Mode Settings > Home Screen Applications > Application Shortcuts > Shortcut 1
and then, when I finally get to the list, the items arent even in any order!
You must be joking, what a horrible menu! Its insane. As a user, I feel like its a terrible experience.
But thats not all. Why are there 2 notes applications on my phone? There's notes, and active notes. Why does Nokia OVI store exist twice, once in the main menu, and once under installations? Why do I have Contacts, and OVI contacts on my phone? Why can't my phone have just one app that works well, instead of 2 that differ slightly.
Why is email setup in the installations menu? Why isn't it under email, where mailboxes get set up? Its just sitting there cluttering up Installations, when its something you only use once or twice.
Not to mention the fact that the configuration settings are all over the place, i.e. there is an Email Key setting in Menu > Tools > Settings > General. Its all on its own, not near anything. Why isn't it in the same menu where the other shortcut keys get set? Or even in the email app settings?
I am not naive, I know that the E63 is on the cheaper end of the scale, so I can't expect it to be the fastest phone in the world, but scrolling through my email in HTML mode is so horribly slow, and the view tends to jump from left to right on some emails, I hardly even use the phone to check my email anymore, which is sad because that is the reason I chose the E63.( for the nice keypad and email syncing)
These are just SOME of the things that I have noticed. So please Nokia, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Spend some of your R&D money on user interface and user experience!
If there is anything you take away from this letter, let it be this:
Doing anything on the phone just feels like hard work, it makes me not want to use the phone.
Your phones should be simple and easy to use, even without the mass of Help files that appear in a lot of the menus.
I know, some people may say that if I want a better experience, I should be willing to buy a more expensive phone. Well, I can say that if I do spend more money on a phone, the chance is very slim that it will be a Nokia.
Really, I am not being nasty, just trying to be honest. I know that Nokia is run by human beings like myself, so I tried to be polite, and I dont intend to hurt anyones feelings.
I am quite willing to answer any questions you may have. Its a bit of a pipe dream, but I would love to see Nokia release an entirely new version of the phone software, with everything re-organized and re-done. The sad truth is that will probably never happen, and I will end up swopping my E63 for something that is easy and pleasant to use.
So please, let me know if there is anything I can do to change the situation, or help you guys in making this better for everyone."If your not used to symbian you'll learn it quick enough, compared to android it's childsplay."
On the contrary, Ive been using Nokia phones for the last 8 years, and for the last 2 years Nokia exclusively, and the UI has just got worse.
The fact that "you'll learn it" is of no comfort. Why should I have to spend hours learning how to use a cellphone? Whenever I want to do something I havent done before, I have to spend time digging through obscure menu options. That is absurd.
"What phone do you have in mind to replace the E63, that would help us users alot more then telling us what is wrong with your phone. Although over all I like my e63."
I don't have any specific phone in mind, Im just going to ask and look around until I find something with an operating system that is organised in a logical manner, and that allows me to access and read my email quickly and easily.
I put this here hoping that other users would come forward with UI related things that they were unhappy about, and then Nokia would take notice. I could easily have just gone out and changed phones, but I chose to do something different. -
Nokia N8 Customer's experience [Pros, Cons, and Ti...
I am a Fan and Nokia user since the release of Nokia 3310, then Nokia N37, then Nokia 5230, and now Nokia N8. when I see the history of improvements that Nokia did achieve so far I feel glad to be a Nokia fan and user, and when I look for the future I hope for more and more.
I got my N8 almost 6 days ago; this phone is extremely powerful cellphone, it really in a level to compete with iphone. I was lucky to have mine as a second batch, and it does not have any problem so far , only it restarted once and hanged once and this was due to the over limit multi-tasking which I did in purpose to test the ability of the phone and to know experimentally the limit of the processor.
This is my experience summary about my N8:
Pros*:
1- Simbian^3 is a very powerful improvement to Nokia’s history, it is really fast. The processor is working fast even with such a good operating system.
2- Multi home screens and widgets are very powerful feature.
3- Contacts list had improved very well.
4- Messaging and Social networks had improved very much.
5- Photos and Videos editor had received a very excellent improvement.
6- Web browser is very fast in the second batch (Same speed as Opera 10).
7- The music player was improved very much (since the N73).
8- The GPS was improved, and connects quickly to satellite.
9- The ability to assign different themes to each profile mode is a very cool feature.
10- The screen visibility and quality is very good even under direct sunlight.
11- Sound quality is very good (however if it had 2 speakers like my N73, it would be a good addition).
12- The ability to use USB keys is very powerful, and I really enjoyed using this feature.
13- USB charging is very good, I wish Nokia standardize it in all its new phones.
14- HDMI connection is a very extent addition, especially when you do have a BT mouse and keyboard with the HDTV home theatre one, as if you are using your laptop.
15- Gaming experience is very good, especially if you connect it to TV with the HDMI.
16- OVI store offers a good pack of apps, hopefully it will expand in the near future.
Cons*:
1- Simbian^3 is little bit sophisticated.
2- No customized equalizer in the music player (I don’t like the Nokia standard equalizer sets).
3- The FM transmitter does not support the GPS voice guidance, only music player.
4- The WiFi widget has some problems to turn off the WiFi (It is not a one step process; I wish Nokia fix it quickly).
5- When watching a movie, the menu key does not dim or turn off, I should hide it with my hand.
6- Only 3 home screens (I wish it has n number of customizable home screens).
7- Keyboard is very retarded in the vertical mood (multi letter for each key is not likely to exist with touch screens, they should replace it with a full keyboard mood even with the number rows).
8- Keyboard is very tight in the horizontal mood (Also it is confusing for the people who used to use S60^5th ed touch) [I wish if the numbers are displayed in the top as a fourth row, as my language (Arabic with English letters) has numbers as equivalent missingletters in the English alphabet, so it is painful to such back and forth between number mood and letter mood].
9- Only the Nokia default languages are the only set of languages for the phone (I hope one day, Nokia allow customers to select their suitable language packs, as the screen is touch and Nokia will not need to customize a set of letters on numerical pads as in N73).
10- The camera is 2x zoom only (I wish that extended zoom could be applied to boost it up to 6x with the 3 mp resolution as it was in the N73 when selecting less resolution option we get more zoom). Also there is no way to silent the camera sound nor the red light of the capture, my Samsung digital camera has it. Also no sequence picture support.
11- The display resolution is poor; more pixels would make it better. I know that a higher resolution means a faster processor, means a much powerful battery.
12- Battery life is not enough (One day with high usage. ie. music & GPS all the day + some Wifi).
13- 16 gb is not enough specially with apps that can reach over 100mb in the near future.
14- The speaker position on the back cover is not good, when the phone is on the table, the sound is blocked.
15- The plastic covers of the top and bottom is a big disadvantage (it could break for sure if it felt on its tip), as it would be better if it was aluminum and leave the top black part only plastic for the antenna functionality, or merge the antenna in the casing body as in the iphone.
All in all, this phone is a good step from Nokia in its learning and improving experience, I would like Nokia to learn from the costumer’s experience, and listen to their suggestions and requests for improvements. Nokia is Nokia I know, but learning from “others” will save Nokia time and money to improve and to be creative in adding new ideas instead of being just in the average area. I believe that Nokia will take back the lead in the cellphones creativity as it was with the announcement of the first N-series device 4 years ago.
*Future Pros and Cons will be added as I get more experience with N8You are very lucky you don't care about email. For those of us who want to make Blackberry users jealous, the N8 experience is a humiliation.
If you call your prejudices standards, please lower them. -

Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.
@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help! -
New development - need new roads added and 33 lot address locations corrected
Hello, I am in the new homes and residential development business. I just developed a new residential development and I need to get Bing to update their roads and addresses. The addresses and roads have been in existence since about August 2014. I would have
expected them to be updated by now but the roads are missing and the address locations are incorrect.
I have figured out how to get in touch with and submit bulk data to Google (Map Content Partners), but I cannot find an access point to Bing. I have gone the route of reporting mapping errors via Bing Maps, but I
was wondering if their is a way to give Bing bulk mapping data to update new addresses and roads. I have shape files that include parcel boundaries, road centerlines, address blocks, and address points. I have also included the lot address and correct location
coordinates below.
Any help appreciated.

Note that in order for new addresses and roads to be added our data provider usually needs to drive to correctly capture all required information. I'll pass this information on to them so they can
get this updated.

Updated to Yosemite, no problem. now iPhoto and iMovie won't open. Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software. User ID and PW works everywhere else.
I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

Need smtp user id and password for mac os..so I can scan to fax with HP laser jet Pro 200 m276
I'm tring to setup my HP laserjet Pro 200 Color Mfp M276nw to Scan to fax. I'm being promted to give the SMTP user id and password. I'm usin mac os 10.7.5 Can anyone help me out with this issue? I called yahoo twice. They never return calls as promised. Thanks, Darrell
Hi nofear68,
I understand you've been unable to get the information needed to use the scan to fax feature on your HP laserjet Pro 200 Color Mfp M276nw. If you're using 'Yahoo' as your mail provider, I recommend using the following settings:
SMTP server address: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
User name: Your full Yahoo Mail email address (including "@yahoo.com")
Password: Your Yahoo Mail password
Port: 465
TLS/SSL required: yes
Let me know if this resolves the issue.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP. -

Engineer 'forgot' to register the installation
Hi all, I have had the most stupid experience with BT imaginable... Infinity finally arrived to my area a month ago, so I arranged to get the new service with BT. An 'engineer' came to install everything (access point, Openreach router, WiFi hotspot)
