Should i get N8 Symbian Belle or other phones?

Hi i'm planning to buy Nokia N8.
Is Symbian Belle update is available for N8?
Should i wait for it or should i buy it shortly or should i buy any other phone?
Samsung galaxy s2 and many other phones look attractive, but i know about Nokia quality and reliabilty.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank You.

If your serious about Nokia and Symbian Belle, I wouldn't bother with the N8. Hardware wise it's showing it's age now. Have a look at the newer handsets being released with Belle pre-installed.

Symbian belle and other stuff

Ok, after having many problems with Nokia phones I have owned, I am starting to lose my trust!
Nokia was the best mobile phones company and I have been with Nokia since 5110 but it's not the case anymore. My Nokia C7 is a great phone but I cannot use bluetooth to pair it with my laptop. Unlike android and iPhone our Symbian version of Skype doesn't support video calls, facebook doesn't show notifications, places, pages, there's no yahoo messenger version for us and many more things
Apparently Nokia and Symbian have been left behind by developers and all the new apps or games are first on the iPhone and android.
My question is, will there be any changes in the future? Will we have notifications and video calls on Symbian belle or should I just buy an android because Nokia will continually be left out??
The belle udate was suppose to be out already by the way and no, I won't buy a Lumia because I hate Windows mobile!
Regards

Well, my gf has an android, galaxy S2 and to be honest I'm starting to like it, she's always making me jealous with the video call options and there are loads of free apps on the market for it, apple are the ones that always overcharge for apps and accessories for their products. And I would never buy an iPhone because I simply hate them, they're too simple.
I know I'm using the correct driver for my computer and the bluetooth pairing still fails.
I've posted around /t5/Cseries/C7-bluetooth/td-p/1219789
I still have an old N95 and it pairs. I also have an N82 but the bluetooth doesn't work like any other N82
I'll just go for an android soon, especially if the belle update will not include a music player with a search function.
Thank you all for the replies and Happy New Year

PO message should get failed for P.grp other than AB1 and AB2

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement like PO message should get failed for P.grp other than AB1 and AB2.
Detail explanation:
I have a P.grp AB1,AB2,AB3,AB4 etc.... The current process is once PO created and saved the message will be triggered and IDOC is transmitted to the vendor, irrespective of what ever the P.grp.
My requirement is like the PO message should get failed if P.grp is other than AB1 and AB2, and reason should be shown any where in IDOC or in messages.
Pls advice.
Thanks.

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for the reply...
There are only 5 vendors which is relevant for EDI and P.grp AB1 and AB2 denotes EDI PO, same P.grp mapping has been done in PI also via data ID. The user sometimes selects the P.grp AB3, AB4 etc incorrectly and it goes to the vendor which in-turn again the customer has to amend the PO.
Now I'm planning to include a piece of logic while saving the PO, check if the vendor is EDI vendor then P.grp should be AB1 or AB2, if it is a different P.grp then the system will not allow to save the PO,so that the user will select the relevant P.grp for EDI vendors. Pls let me know your thought and inputs.
Thanks.

New update of 2014 cc. Should I get rid of my other version?

I have the CS6 version but the new update put all of these cc 2014 version on my computer. So now I have double of most of the creative suite. Is there anything I would want in these? Should I get rid of my CS6?

It's totally up to you whether you keep the earlier versions. This blog post may help you:

I dont think. As per my knowledge.. Symbian is closing down in 2015-16 so no use unless nokia itself comes up with a new operating system and releases it as an update on symbian devices which does quite look possibl.

Disappointed with Symbian Belle! Pros vs Cons

I accept that I'm probably in the minority here, as a lot of you seem to be banging on about how great Belle is, but I personally dislike it! In fact, I would go as far as saying I HATE Symbian Belle, after coming from Symbian Anna!
First of all, I'd like to point out that I do appreciate the good points of Belle. I like the fact that they finally sorted out a few issues which plagued earlier Symbian^3 versions. However, some of the major issues seem to have been left unchecked, whilst I feel other aspects have been changed unnecessarily.
After 15 months of owning a Nokia N8, I kind of expected all of the bugs to have been worked out by now, but it seems that 15 months later we are still complaining about many of the issues which we complained about on day one!
I could also live with some of the minor annoyances I have found with Belle, but some are just so frustrating that I often wonder why the hell they decided to change it, especially when it didn't need to be changed in the first place! The clock and the music player homescreen widget are two such features I feel didn't need to be altered, yet they did so anyway just for the sake of it...
After just 24 hours of updating to Belle, I've decided that if I can't find a way back to Anna (I hear that a Nokia service centre can perform the downgrade), then I'm getting rid of my N8. As much as I love my N8 to bits, I cannot live with it with an interface that I am unhappy with, especially when Anna felt like second nature to me! My beloved handset has been altered, and this is no longer the phone I sent the last 15 months using
Here's what I like about Belle:
* Extra homescreens - For me, three was always plenty, but I can see why other people would prefer to have more. However, it would be nice to have three as the default, rather than four, as I am left with an unused screen which is unnecessary for my use
* The ability to rearrange homescreen widgets more freely - I like this feature, and it's something I initially thought was going to be a feature of Symbian^3 when the N8 was first released. Being able to finally place shortcuts anywhere on the screen is very useful, and more intuitive than having to have rows of four
* The dropdown menu - This is a nice touch, and puts all of the most important on / off features in one place (such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth etc). However, I wish that this was a one-touch operation, rather than a touch & flick gesture
* Speed - General transitions and navigation are so much more faster now! As it should have been to begin with...
Anything else which I like (like the faster browser and vertical QWERTY keyboard) are throwbacks from Anna, so I won't mention them here as they don't relate directly to Belle
Here's a list of the things I dislike about Belle:
* Redesigned homescreen widgets - Was there really any need to redesign the primary homescreen widgets, such as the clock / calendar / profile menu group, and music player? On Anna, these were nice neat little widgets which occupied two rows between them - Now the music player widget takes up half the screen, and the clock / calendar / profile group has been disbanded into separate widgets which all take up extra space! Why was this necessary?
* Redesigned digital clock - I don't like the new-look digital clock on the homescreen, and I especially don't like the new screensaver digital clock! At least give us a choice of Anna / Belle designs, so we can choose which one we prefer! I much prefer the original screensaver clock design, and I would rather have the original clock / calendar / profile menu group back in place of separate widgets for each!
* The new text messaging interface - More specifically, the text messaging menu. For some reason, Nokia have assumed that everybody texts using the Conversations feature, and has relegated everything else to a secondary menu option to show the various text message folders. To me this is a big no-no! I like to be organised, but I don't want to keep having to switch to folder view whenever I want to manage my texts, especially when this used to be the default view when I hit the text messaging button!
* New navigation icons and icon locations - Using Belle has become a cryptic guessing game! Navigation icons seem to have been moved around, and the icons changed. More time is spent deciphering what the icons are and what they do, rather than being quick and easy. For a Symbian newcomer, I'm sure they'll pick it up easily, but for a Symbian veteran coming from Symbian^3 / Anna to Belle, they just cause confusion! I'm scared to touch a new icon in case it does something undesired!
* Lack of default application folders - I know, I know, there's the ability to create folders, but who the hell decided that removing default application folders was a good idea in the first place? All of my nicely organised applications have been scattered into one main group! Again, for what logistical reason?
* Headphones no longer work - Like many people, I prefer to use my own choice of headphones, rather than those basic ones that come bundled with the N8. However, after updating to Belle, I find that my headphones no longer work! The sound is not diverted to the 3.5mm jack, and music just plays through the device speaker rather than the headphones which are plugged in. I tried them out on other devices, and they work fine, and they worked fine before I updated to Belle, so this is obviousy an issue which needs to be addressed
* Homescreen wallpaper pictures obscured by navigation bar - Previously, the pictures I use as my homescreen wallpapers fit nicely between the navigation bar along the bottom, and the info bar along the top. With Belle this is no longer the case, where the picture is extended, and these two bars obscure the image below (the navigation bar happens to be semi-transparent, but that's beside the point)
* Application screen button right above the physical button - I honestly don't see the point in having a button in the bottom left corner which does the exact same thing as the physical button on the N8 which is situated directly below it.
* Profile ordering - On previous Symbian handsets, and also previously with Symbian^3 / Anna, it was possible to order your profiles however you wanted. There was also more than four default profiles. However, with Belle it seems that if you rename any of those first four, they retain their position, regardless of alphabetisation. For example, if you created a fifth profile called "Silent (Office)", it would appear in fifth place, rather than directly beneath "Silent" as you would expect
* Renaming the default "Silent" profile conflicts with the dropdown menu function - If you rename the default "Silent" profile to something else (Ie, "Loud"), and also change the profile settings (such as turning the volume right up), then this renders the silence feature in the dropdown menu redundant! You can still select the "Silent" function from the dropdown menu, but it will activate / deactivate whatever profile occupies that second slot, regardless of whether you have it set as silent or something else
* The camera interface - Once again, an example of moving icons when they didn't need to be moved! I used to find that the location of the various camera settings was perfect with Anna, but now they're all along the bottom. Why did they need to be moved? This is perhaps just nitpicking, and doesn't really bother me as much as other changes, but I see no reason why some things need to be changed for the sake of changing things!
Things that needed to be fixed, and still haven't:
* Calculator - In this day and age a smartphone should have an advanced calculator, similar to many hi-end scientific calculators. At the very least, a basic calculator shoud have a "clear screen" button! We shouldn't have to exit the application and relaunch it in order to do a new calculation!
* The music player - Artists and Albums should be separate. End of! If youre choosing a new ringtone, you can browse by either Song, Artist, or Album, so why isn't this the same for the music player? This has annoyed me ever since I first got my N8, but seems like something Nokia are reluctant to fix, despite complaints from the majority of users. Also, why is there still no user-definable equaliser?

GeminiPhoenix, you make plenty of valid points, but I think you need to try to give Belle a chance and then you might start noticing small things like the ability to simply delete any unwanted homescreens, and then it might begin to grow on you. I can understand your frustration at what you feel have been unnecessary changes (to Belle itself) but... well, I guess it must have been a MAJORLY serious age-old problem that forced you to risk the upgrade.
Your complaints about the Belle widgets are all justified and hopefully Nokia are listening and will do something about them in due course.
Even though I'd like more widgets, and more implementations of various settings into widgets, I find Belle to be be intuitive enough to make it an enjoyable experience - no less than Anna anyway.
I agree, Nokia should give the option to revert back to previous operating systems.
If I loved Anna so much, I wouldn't have cared less for latest and fastest software for my device. It would have taken a very serious problem to make me take the risk of changing it.
I admit I may have jumped the gun on one or two issues, and I have since discovered how to delete unwanted homescreens. However, this just proves that the option is well hidden away in a very specific place, where I would have probably not looked had someone not directed me to it. Therefore I formerly retract that issue from my list, but I will add that I feel such options should be more visible, especially as we don't have a user manual to flick through and we're expected to just figure this stuff out on our own!
I have also discovered that the Wi-Fi needs to be prioritised in order to automatically connect when in range of my home network. Again, this is not made clear, and the required settings are hidden away in an obscure folder where most normal people wouldn't think to look... I also retract this from my list
As for the "age-old problem" - This thread should answer everything:
/t5/Messaging-Email-Browsing-and/Urgent-help-required-N8-refuses-to-send-text-messages-after-6/td-p/...
It was indeed a serious problem, and the only way to fix it was to update to the newest software version. No doubt the problem will occur again in a few months time, and I'll have to do the same again...
However, where I initially aimed to fix one problem, Belle has posed several new ones, such as the headphones no longer working, and the text messaging interface being rearranged based on the assumption that everyone texts using the Conversations feature. Two things I use every single day, and pretty much everywhere I go.
I am also glad that you support my complaints about the widgets, so thank you. I know they're only minor issues, but they're the most used, and I fail to understand why they decided to change certain ones. The whole widget system overhaul is great, but it's ruined by the larger widgets which formerly used to be much more compact. For example, the music player and eMail widgets are the largest and most waste of space, whereas the clock / calendar / profile cluster was perfect, so why separate them so that they take up twice as much space on the homescreen?
I too hope they're paying attention, and I have openly shared my thoughts with the Nokia team via Twitter. I would suggest everyone else does the same if they feel the same way
I liked Anna. Whlist I did miss the old PR 1.2 icons, and disliked the coloured blobs, I could live with it. I thought Belle would be more of the same, with just a few tweaks here and there to things that needed fixing, but it seems like something entirely different. At the very least, I expected certain things to stay the same, with the improvements being under-the-hood so to speak
As I have said before, certain aspects didn't need touching. They were perfectly fine as they were. Belle would function just as well if they had've left the widgets as they were. I appreciate that they've done a lot of work making certain aspects run faster, but some things weren't broken, so why try to fix them? Even more frustrating is the fact that other issues have yet again been ignored, such as the terrible music player interface, which almost everybody wants changing back to something similar to the S60 v5.0 era

All about Symbian Belle Problems.

Hi,
Here are my full list of problems, suggestion i would like to keep infront of you.
I sent the problems via ''CONTACT US'' and to some Nokia employee via PM but they just can't....
No problem is solved in software update.
Of Course that's really tough though
Here is the list,
Just copied from the sent items.
Please neglect if something is repeated.
1.
1.Screen starts blinking when a new meassage arrives!
Screen starts blinking ( ON/OFF) continuosly sometimes after unlocking keypad when phone shows new message arrived. Screen blinks at the rate of 8-10 times per second. We need to press end key to stop it.
2. Brightness:
In indoors or in low light conditions after Light time-out the screen brightness should be reduced, but brightness increases!!?
When we touch the screen brightness reduces back to normal. This repeats again and again. That is why i have to increased light timout to 60 seconds to avoid disturbance to eyes.
Sometimes light sensor doesnot work at all outdoors while using maps.
3.Slowdown of phone.
Phone slows during and after installing or removal of sis packages.
I have lot of apps installed from Nokia Store.
4. Menu scrolling and appearance of icons in menu after installation:
When we have more games and apps installed , the menu won't scroll smooth. It strucks in between and jumps to last item.
5. Appearance of icons in menu after installing apps games takes half a minute! Ofcourse i have many apps and games installed.
6.
Side unlock key vibrations. Unlock key vibrations sometime won't vibrate. We need to goto profile and reactivate the profile. Maybe this is third party app problem.
7. Camera:
When shooting CRT TV, the screen is not stable. I can shoot without problem on my Nokia C3-00.
8. Camera hidden in background and runs continously:
Battery dries very fast sometimes, the day when i use camera, i use Best Taskman by Smartphoneware. You know what camera application will be still running in background SOMETIMES though long pressing menu key shows no Open applications!!
So camera will be sometimes running hidden even after closing it.
9. Touch screen answer key:
Touching answer key on screen won't work sometimes when there is a incoming call, apps, maps, or browsing.
Sometimes phone restarts when a call arrives at that time.
10. Connecting phone in mass storage mode.
When i connect my phone to computer in mass storage mode, it is obvious that all apps games which are installed on mass and memory card becomes unavailable,
but wallpapers applied from mass and memeory card will not be re applied to homescreen back as wallpaers once mass storage mode is changed or even after removing cable connected to pc.
We need to apply them manually again or we need to apply wallpapers from internal memory!
11.Widgets.
There is a problem with mail widget. We cannot scroll it continuously. When we scroll it once it scrolls and while scrolling if we continue to scroll again it won't scroll but stops scrolling. So one scrolling attempt after another makes the scroll stop!!
These are some problems and bugs present on Symbian belle on NOKIA 701.
Please solve them and provide software update.
Thank You.
In Love With Nokia.

Here are some more bugs and problems of Symbian Belle-Nokia 701.
1.Widget arrangement in landscape mode gets changed on its own automatically when a widget in portrait mode successfully fits but it couldn't in landscape. We'll be not knowing what happens in landscape mode widget arrangements!
It would be better to have auto arrangement of widgets when we move another widgets in the homescreen.
2.Brightness variation during video playback is bit annoying.
3. Music files are not actually arranged according to album name, albums are again differentiated by contributing artists.
So to group the songs of an album, We have to delete all the contributing artists of all the songs of that album or change the contributing artists name to a common name.
4.I don't know what happens when i swipe the album art while playing a song using music player on 701.
When i swipe from left to right for the first song of an album, the song plays from the beginning or restarts. When i swipe from right to left it plays the next song, and when i again swipe from left to right it plays previous song. Well i just don't use swiping on album. Because it is confusing.
5.When i connect my 701 in Ovi suite mode and browse files using Computer-Portable devices-Nokia 701-Mass Memory-Music folder and while the music player is playing music, it starts showing 'media transfer in progress' and it won't go even after closing the folder in the computer.
'Media transfer in progress' message appears specially when i enter music folder of the mass memory!!
So these are some more bugs and problems which i found again.
Thank you.
3.
I have been taking photos of some pages.
What happens is that some images gets stored in landscape mode and some gets stored in portrait mode, though i kept the mobile in the same position while capturing. I think this is a problem with auto rotation. One more issue is with in-line editing, for example in opera mini. I we write something using prediction activated, we cannot move the cursor to previous word. To do this we need to deactivated prediction and we can move the cursor left or right towards desired words. I think this is maybe problem of 3rd party apps. This problem doesn't exists in other areas of phone like messaging. It's good. One more problem i have already sent to you is unlock or key vibration. When i remove the phone from charger the vibration doesn't work. We need to goto profiles and reactivate the profile again. Well these are some other problems i noticed in symbian belle of 701. Thank you. In love with Nokia.
4.
Another issue is with editing contact. I cannot select the numbers easily to delete them or add some digits to theme. I cannot touch and scroll to move the editing page, i have use side scroller to scroll to bottom or top. Will post some more problems if found on Nokia 701. I hope that posting like this is not annoying to you. Thank you.

Hello,
1.
I was using wifi on my two phones today, C3-00 and 701. I have noticed that wifi was repeatedly disconnecting(There was less wifi signal) on my 701, C3-00 was accessing same wifi without any problems. Even if 701 connects for a while, speed was too slow, very less than my C3-00.
2.
Task switcher which takes snapshots of apps sometimes takes wrong snapshots when we long press home key. Will post if any issue with my 701. Thank you
6.
I was using nokia drop application to install apps from ovi store.
It have installed many apps but two apps were taking much time to install so i pressed end key and ended the Nokia Store client,.
Now my menu icons and their names are interchanged, but when i add them to homescreen as shortcut it looks okay.
7.
2. Game play slows down and there will be hanging effects in the game (Angry birds) during and after the email alert.
3.I don't know but i just couldn't find stereo video recording, i checked the with my earphones but couldn't find any stereo effect.
4. Nokia account signin confirmation appears on the screen whenever i boot to Homescreen. Maybe because of new Nokia store installation! But interesting thing is that the same Nokia login confirmation appears even after turning off the phone and after connecting the charger!!! Switching the phone off and connecting the charger should only display battery meter at right top of the screen, but the login confirmation appears at that time.
5. I had a YouTube icon in the menu. I just uninstalled it as u could play youtube via browsers itself. I later noticed that YouTube app was in Store. I downloaded it but i couldn't open it. On touching it just closes immediately. The interesting thing again is that you cannot open any Google mobile applications!!!! They just look like they are starting but gets closed immediately!! As youtube app in Nokia store!
6. Applications screenshots. Screenshots which appear after long pressing menu are sometimes the screenshots of the Homescreen!
7. File type icons in file manager are all look same for installation files like sis and java, office files etc.
8. It would be better to have Homescreen sort option for easy arrangement and automatic movement of other widgets when we move desired widget on other widgets wherever there is a place for movement. Well these were some of problems, bugs and some suggestions i found. I will post some more if find any. Thank you.

Symbian belle. Version 111.030.0609 Bugs.
1.
I found a new problem with the scroller in the gallery. When we touch the scroller and move it completely to the bottom,
the scroller moves down inside the option button!
So we cannot scroll back again! We need to touch the gallery images and scroll so that scroller comes above the option menu!
2.
Scrolling is pretty smooth compared to old software, but still seems some scrolling problem when there are more apps on the menu list!
3.
There should have been a simple text editor! Please provide text editor software in Nokia store or full version Office.
4.
Much of the productive softwares doesn't work in belle like Skype and even new updated joikuspot for example.
5.
There should have been a record option in the options while calling and 4 columns option for menu icons.
6.
Problem with the mailbox widget is not solved. Scolling continuously in the widget is not possible.
7.
Brightness problem when we set display light timeout is still there. After 5 seconds after light timout display should become less bright but it becomes more bright -Works correct under bright light and works reverse in low light!!
Don't think that Nokia 701 has lots of problems.
I don't think that these are very big problems but are bearable though.
Thank You.
IN LOVE WITH NOKIA.

@ khanjan_701
The menu ket blinking without any reason is caused by standby breathing light. This can be solved by going to settings>phone>notification lights>standby breathing light>breathing light>off. If not found under settings then try looking for it at profiles but I believe that in devices running Symbian Anna or Nokia Belle it is found at settings but with the E-Series like E71 and the other E-series except E7 and other E-Series running on Symbian Anna or Nokia Belle it is foound at settings.
Under settings>phone>notification lights>notification light>blink light for, you can set a specific amount of time you want the light to blink when a new message or missed call arrives. Under settings>phone>notification lights>notification light>events notified, you can choose whether the menu key blinks when either a new message or a missed call arrives.
Hope that this solution will help you. I currently have a Nokia N8-00 and by changing that setting the menu key only blinks when a new missed call or new message arrives.
Ngwangwa - Six Million Ways To Die Choose One

Nokia N8 Symbian Belle - A downgrade of sophistica...

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you in regards of the latest Belle update for Nokia N8.
I am deeply disappointed with some of the features and i would like to bring those to your attention. Dont get me wrong, as an update, Belle its nice and looks very beautiful on the phone, however, some things must be pointed out.
1. The notifications widget. WHY was this removed completely and made the phone less sophisticated?? (and please dont reply back to me as i saw in other posts, stating that it has been replaced with the drop down. Pls read further before replying and bare in mind that i already know with what it has been replaced!) I mean listen.... i own an N8 (550 Euro mobile phone!) and my wife owns a nokia X3 (60 Euro phone!)... with the current update of Belle, on the N8 when i receive a message i get the cheap looking like, old style notification on "1 new message received" (without stating from who i received the message before i open the message)... with the notification widget we had on Anna however everything was more sophisticated, it actually made the phone look More sophisticated as well, as it stated on the widget from who (e.g. John) you received a message or a missed call... on the X3 of my wife, is States that, it states from who you you received the message...I liked that and made the phone look different from many other phone and as i have observed from a lot of posts, Many people liked the notifications widget and believed the same as well... therefore we reached a point where cheaper phones now look more sophisticated than smartphones?? i know that when you make new software you wanna change and update everything for certain marketing reasons, however in my humble opinion that does not mean that you should also go ahead and downgrade the sophistication of the phone just for the sake of changing extremely nice stuff in the name of updating... there are certain things that you should be left as they were if not need update...
2. The fact that the widgets have been made all coulurful and "comic" like is a good thing on one hand but bad on the other. (e.g calendar, mail) On what basis was this done? I mean i am a lawyer, and i used those widgets and were very inportant to me on a daily basis, and i used them daily. On Symbian Anna, they were all very nice looking (glassy and black) and more professional. The fact that i updated the phone now and the widgets are so childishly designed and driven (colourful comic like calendar and email widget etc), makes one very uncomfortable in their use. (i mean think for instance a situation of me sitting next to a client and checking up my incoming mail on the widget that looks like poor unprofessional, childish email like hotmail, yahoo mail etc) I mean dont get me wrong, you should have included the new ones, but you should have also included the old glassy looking like widgets of symbian Anna (since i am certain you have them somewhere saved ni your databases) in the update and let the user decide which ones to use... you dont just simply proceed and make so many radical changes when you know that these kind of phones are also (and probably by majority) used by professionals.
Further, the old clock digital widget with the profile all in one was very nice and better looking like for some of us and shouldnt have been removed.......
3. About the screensaver screen. My comments here are interelated with my above comments regarding the notifications widget. Firtsly, i dislike the fact that on the screensaver screen, i only get the message and missed call signs when i get one, but there is no number next to them stating now how many messages or missed calls i have received like it used to be on Symbian Anna (its one thing to have 10 missed calls and its another to have solely one. i mean think of this scenario: when i am in an important meeting, i only take the phone out of my pocket to see HOW MANY missed calls i have. i dont sit with clients there and check who called isnt it? so if i saw i had 10 missed calls in one hour then i would know its an emergency and interrupt - maybe my child had an accident or something)
Further, the clock on the screensaver shouldnt be made with this dotty white colour, that looks like or seems as if the phone is about to die completely - makes the phone look cheap and unsophisticated as well. The colour of the clock should be solid crystal white as it used to be on Symbian Anna...
Thanks

I too am having the same issue with only hotmail. Looking at Microsoft forums, Nokia users aren't the only ones. MS have done some sort of 'upgrade' to their exchange servers which is causing the issue. They are sorting it out but goodness knows how long this is going to take. My emails sometimes come in but then on the next sync they disappear. The gripe that alot of people have is that phone manufacturers apparently hadn't been told of this 'upgrade' and for me, my additional gripe is that I have been a Nokia user since 1996 and over the last 1.5 I am getting increasingly frustrated with Nokia anyway and waiting for them to sort out some ongoing issues I have had since September last year, now this as there is this ' I don’t use active exchange as I don’t want to sync my contacts or calendar this way and prefer to use other ways/apps to sync this info. As there is and apparent ‘partnership' between Nokia & Microsoft, how come none of us users had a clue it was going to happen and what steps we should take for a smooth transition.

Google maps not working with symbian belle upgrade

guys after recent upgrade with symbian belle google maps stopped working is there any problem will belle dose it support google maps 4.1.1

For those people still can't get Google map to work on Belle after the Wifi trick, a hard reset finally fixed mine! (No, a soft reset did not fix mine, but you should try it first.) Yea, it's a pain in the butt having to reinstall some apps and reconfigure preferences. But my phone also runs smoother and the battery lasts longer, as least it seems. I still need to turn on Wifi for Google map to start.
Detailed steps:
Do a full backup with Nokia Suite, just in case. (If you restore later, do not restore apps & preferences. Otherwise, Google map won't work.)
Put phone in Offline mode to end all calls and connections: Press Hangup > Offline
Try Soft reset first: Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Settings > Restore.
Reinstall Google Maps.
If soft reset didn't work, try Hard reset: Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Settings > Delete data and restore
Enjoy!

Mobile Data Widget N8 Symbian Belle

I have just upgraded my N8 to Symbian Belle. I now have a widget called Mobile Data but have no idea what this should be used for or when it should be on or off.
Can anyone offer any advice????

Mobile data off - No access to internet.
Mobile data on - Access to internet.
It doesn't get any simpler than that. Try it

E6 with Symbian Belle?

Hi there!
I'm planning on replacing my old E5-00 with a new E6.now, i know that the phone comes with Symbian Anna but i am getting conflicting reports/messages as regards software updates.
I have read from well-known internet site that Nokia will update all its Symbian Anna devices to Belle "soon". but when i rung Nokia they said No.
i should feel and have confidence when buying a Nokia phone because they are really good on the build and battery issues. not so much on the software side i think.
so, i want to find out once-and-for-all:
1. will Nokia update their Symbian Anna devices to Belle "somehow" or in the near future?
2. will Nokia continue to support their E-series devices with software updates even without Symbian Belle?
3. should i buy an E6 now or wait for newer phones in the new year?
thank you.

Nokia E6 has a diffrent resolution and layout then other Symbian^3 (Anna) devices so probably it could take longer before Belle comes to Nokia E6 ... but at least the Nokia conversation page mentions that E6 will get the Belle update
http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/08/24/symbian-belle-the-facts-the-features-and-the-pictures/
I would call Nokia Care again and really ask them to find this out for you.
They might not be able to get an answer right away, but they should be able to find out and get back to you...
Nokia is still supporting and releasing updates for other E-series phones that are non S^3 devices, so cant see why they wouldnt continue to support the E6 no matter if it gets Belle or not. ..they recently released an update for E72 for instance

Symbian Belle release date

According to a few blog sites Belle is coming to all s^3 devices 10/26.
SO the U.S. should after Christmas

... and I can already tell you that this one is just a rumour & definitely not happening.
As you all know we are NOT announcing any dates for our software updates in advance. Plus: At the moment our focus first is to get Symbian Anna out to our customers in the US, Canada & Australia. Symbian Belle IS coming - but definitely not on 26th October as some blogs are claiming.
Thank you very much for the info skyee, It's comforting, as all your posts (well... some more than others).

Does c6-01 support Symbian Belle

can anyone tell me does c6-01 support symbian belle???
Also when is the launch date of symbian belle for c6-01 ???

Afaik all Symbian Anna phones should eventually be update to Belle. Belle is supposed to released to existing handsets starting sometime this month. Won't know for sure when it happens and which phones will get it first. It won't be too long unless you have a network branded handset which required the networks approval first.

Nokia n8 symbian belle problem HELP

Before i upgraded to belle software i was able to put a film on my usb dongle then using the adapter that comes with every n8 ( which turns your mini usb connection into a usb) plug it into my phone. Then i would use the av or the hdmi lead to connect it to my t.v and play the film through my phone on to my t.v screen. Since i have updated to the new belle software it doesnt work anymore the pictures there but no sound! This is so annoying since i used it all the time does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it please help me. Thanks!

I too am having the same issue with only hotmail. Looking at Microsoft forums, Nokia users aren't the only ones. MS have done some sort of 'upgrade' to their exchange servers which is causing the issue. They are sorting it out but goodness knows how long this is going to take. My emails sometimes come in but then on the next sync they disappear. The gripe that alot of people have is that phone manufacturers apparently hadn't been told of this 'upgrade' and for me, my additional gripe is that I have been a Nokia user since 1996 and over the last 1.5 I am getting increasingly frustrated with Nokia anyway and waiting for them to sort out some ongoing issues I have had since September last year, now this as there is this ' I don’t use active exchange as I don’t want to sync my contacts or calendar this way and prefer to use other ways/apps to sync this info. As there is and apparent ‘partnership' between Nokia & Microsoft, how come none of us users had a clue it was going to happen and what steps we should take for a smooth transition.

Nokia N8 Symbian Belle HTML EMAIL stopped working

About a month ago my Hotmail e-mail stopped working properly, to fix it I deleted the mail box and reset it up however as a result of the delete and reset I now have lost HTML formatted e-mail.
I am on the latest Nokia N8 Belle release for Orange.
The e-mail is setup through Exchange ActiveSync so that I have access to e-mail folders as the hotmail wizard setup version doesn't list my e-mail folders in the mail client.
I have tried a hard reset of my phone, a reload of the operating system and everything else I can think of.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve?
Thanks
