Skyfire Browser for S60 5th

A short while ago the Skyfire browser for S60 5th edition phones was released in beta.
I've installed and have been giving it a try and I have to say that it's very good and extremely fast so would definitley reccomend trying this.
I know it sounds like it but I'm nothing to do with Skyfire nor am I getting commission...... ah wel!!!!
Oh.... best put a few smileys in having just read earlier posts.... some seem to think they're essential

I was a huge fan of this up to a cople of weeks ago, but it seems that the Skyfire servers are now overloaded and data transfer is very slow. Connected through my WiFi I'm getting data transfer rates of less than 1Kb/s when Opera gives me 100s of Kb/s!
I wonder if Skyfire has become a victim of its own success - the best thing about Skyfire is that you can view streaming videos, but this will mean that Skyfire servers have to handle a much higher amount of data per user. A normal Opera browsing session may use only a few Mb data in an hour, but browsing videos on Skyfire will take 10 times that amount of data. That means Skyfire has to maintain 10 times the server infrastructor of Opera to support the same number of users.

Music metadata editor for S60 5th

Is there a musin metadata editor for MP3 and/or AAC (ID3, etc) that runs on S60 5th?
Since the player is so dependant on metadata to organize stuff it would be good to have one editor in the phone itself for the ocasional update.
Regards
Rimugunides O'Brian

Yes.
It's called the Music Player
Open the Music Player then go to Options -> Song Details
You can also add Album Art there if you want.

Contacts download app for S60 5th

Hello everybody,
does anyone know if the contacts download application for car kits is in the pipeline for S50 5th edition?
I cannot access my phonebook from my built in kit, it worked with my E60 and the download application.
Thanks,
Till

A bit late, however, I had the same issue today. Nokia added a variant for Symbian/S60 5th Edition in the first quarter of 2010. Here are the links …

Do the new maps all come with like 5-D layering or something that old phones do not support or what is it?
Whilst S60 5th Ed. & Symbian S^3 have the benefit of 00.02.50.103 map series with an extra transportation layer, earlier devices probably do not have sufficient resources to run Nokia Maps v3.06 and onwards.
As my N95 has been supported for nearly seven years in this respect, I feel that Nokia have more than honored their promise of lifetime updates although even if updated just once per calendar year would not now be unreasonable.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

What the hell are you talking about??? N97 and 5800 are different??? N97 for rich-mans??? Hahahahha Just see this comparison, and you will notice, that N97 and 5800 is almost totally the same device:
http://s60blog.com/2008/12/nokia-n97-vs-nokia-5800-xpressmusic/
N97 just more with the keyboard, and hopefully 5800 will get the widget-homescreen too, as both of them has the same operation system (s60v5), resolution and touchscreen...

N95, N96 dual CPU, N97 single? Dual CPU s60 5th ed...

I've been playing around with Nokia's new QT development stuff. It's all pretty neat. It would be even better if I could use it to develop for Symbian under Linux or Mac, but that asides..
I came across a list of platform types:
Installer for all S60 5.0 (5th Edition) devices with a single CPU, such as the N97 and 5800 XpressMusic
Seems reasonable, but I also saw:Installer for all S60 5.0 (5th Edition) devices with dual CPUs
Hmmmm.. dual CPU S60 5th edition?
It lists some S60 3rd edition dual cpu phones too: N95 and N96
So, why exactly is the N95/N96 dual cpu, but the N97 isn't? Sure that was a step backwards?
Interesting though.. I wonder what the first dual CPU S605th phone will be? Presumably, something faaar better than the somewhat dull N97! I mean, honestly.. who wouldn't put a decent GPU in their flagship phone? presumably the same people who would put OS storage in double digit MB.. grrrr ..

I aggree, however I'm not sure these devices are frog leaping to that extent.
In the case of the N95, the dual core refers to core CPU and an additional DSP and GPU
N95: OMAP2420 - 330 MHz ARM1136 + 220 MHz C55x DSP + PowerVR MBX GPU
The N97, however,is of the same architecture (ARMv6) but with a higher clock rate (434MHz) It isn't a new generation chip per se. It's just running faster.. and without the GPU..
The N96 is a bit different.. Apparently the difference between the N95 v N96:
CPU: N96 has dual ARM9 264MHz with no floating point instructions (N95 has dual ARM11 332Mhz with vector floating point or graphics accelerator)
So, the N97 has the speed of the ARM11 from the N95, but all of the same missing features as the N96.. more or less..
This makes the prospect of a dual cpu s60 5th all the more intriguing

Hostsfile (hosts file) on Symbian S60 5th edition ...

Does anyone know if a hostsfile (or similar function as a hosts file) can be installed and how it can be used on Symbian S60 5th edition (for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic)?
I've found on Wikipedia: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file ) that it should be possible, it specifies folders where the file should be:
Symbian OS 6.1-9.0
C:\system\data\hosts
Symbian OS 9.1+
C:\private\10000882\hosts (AllFiles capable only)
but there is no more details about the needed file format, and I couldn't find any application dealing with a hostsfile on Symbian. Apparently, there used to be the Appgate Mobile Client, but I can't find it anymore.
I would appreciate any help/clue about this. Thank you.

Hi
Yah INT/5.00.50 and TW/5.00.60 on the N5230 work just fine. 5.00.50 is the last International version but it has a bug when navagating in landscape view, (the map looks out of sync, streets don't line up on the left and right side of the screen). That happens on the N97, N97 mini, N5230, and the Samsung HD, others say it happens on other Nokia phones, but I can't say that because I only have the phones I listed. Anyhow in the Tawain version 5.00.60 this was fixed. As a sidenote it has been rumored that Garmin has discontiued develpoment of there mobile XT product for Symbian because Nokia is offering their own product for free. But map updates will always work no matter what and in my opinion Garmin even without any more updates is and always will be a better mapping program than they very buggy Nokia/OVI Maps 3*..Lastly I am using Garmin on all my phones because Nokia/OVI maps 3.* turn by turn doesn't work properly on any of the phones I have, it is off by 250yards, (in back of) the actually position, (it tells you turn 250 yards after you already turned, crazy!) Whereas Nokia.OVI Maps V2.* never had that problem. I really wish Nokia would fix there current bugs before adding more buggy features...

S60 5th edition/ Nokia 5800 & N97

With the Nokia 5800 being the first Nokia to have the s60 5th edition OS, and N97 soon to follow, who thinks that the 5800 is being used as a end-user testing device for the upcoming N97.
dont get me wrong, i its not a bad idea, but i just wonder if 5800 owners will get some of the features which has been shown on the N97 such as live widgets on the home screen for example which looks absolutely brilliant.
what do you guys out there think?

Python for s60 v 2.0.0

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=854
Finally, there is a link, where you could download the new version.
I have this question: Which of all files from v2.0, should I install on my phone, because I have message appear, when I try to install on Nokia E52 apps like: Light Sabre and MarableMaze, "Python For S60 is missing"?

I'm using this Lightsabre app (v0.2) on my E72 and it works. (the image display on the E72 seems to be slight cropped on the edges, probably because the app is designed for phones with bigger resolution display though). Didn't need to install Python for it to work (I hadn't installed Python on my cellphone when I installed that Lightsabre app that time).
(I forgot if I had to install the N95Accelerometer sensor API .sis installer or it's not needed, I recall I did try installing it though.)
http://graho.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/lightsabre-5th-edtion-v02/
However, I did try MarbleMaze (trial versions) and I think it didn't need Python either.
I installed the v1.70 which installed successfully, unfortunately, the marble ball doesn't move when I orient my phone (ball gets stuck in one corner of the screen, although moving my E72's optical pad sometimes "wiggles" the ball.
I also tried installing the v1.80 (for Nokia XM 5800), but I recall it didn't install or didn't run at all.
~~~~~
Granted, I did try installing Python 1.9.7 and could run the pre-included scripts. But other than the pre-installed ones, I haven't been able to run other "Python-required" apps (eg. Python apps like SlidEscape, CarMeter -- didn't seem to work even after I installed Python 1.9.7 on the E72). Although, I don't know if I installed Python correctly in the first place. ;-)
Would appreciate help too.

ITunes crashes while browsing for .ipsw files?

Hello,
I have been trying to update my iOS for my iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 to 5.0 for quite some time. My first issue was that the connection would fail or timeout every time no matter what (I'm in a country with slow internet at the moment; no way to change that), so I solved that by downloading the .ipsw files online for the respective products. Now that I have them, when I hold shift and click restore or update (i have windows 7) to browse for the files, iTunes stops working.
the situation with it was: appcrash objc.dll
I've uninstalled everything apple related from my computer and re-installed it, and still no success. Short of sending to back the states, does anyone know what I could do to update my iProducts?
Thank you.

Do better than the best!

@ grshinon
only time will tell when these phones are released by SAMSUNG, NOKIA. For NSERIES recording at 30FPS is pretty dam good. near DVD quality. so when HD capture and recording are implemented into new phones i think there going to be really good with the help of Symbian OS 9.5 it can & 3D Accelerated Chip (used in N95, N82) can help improve the feature.

How do you invoke the default browser for Unix/OSX

Does anyone know how to programmatically display the contents of a URL in the default browser for a Unix system? I found a javaworld article on doing this using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd). The article gives the cmd string for invoking the default browser in Windows, and for invoking the Netscape browser in Unix.
This can easily be extended to invoke any known browser executable in a known path on a Unix system; but I'd like to invoke the default browser without knowing what or where it is. I'm specifically targetting Mac/OSX, but any Unix solution is worth trying.
Is there a Unix command for launching the default browser to display the contents of a given URL? Or is there an alternative approach, rather than invoking Runtime.exec()?
-Mark

After extensive google searching, I came across a partial solution. This code detects the default browser on a Mac, and provides an elegant solution for trying standard browsers in turn for other Unix systems. I tested it on WIndows XP and Mac OSX 3.9, and it detected the default browser each time. A suped up version of this tool is available as a SourceForge project. You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/browserlaunch2/
Here's the simplified code:

Phone not working for the 5th time

I am so happy with my fios service. Now for the 5th time our phone does not work. We regularly cant recive calls, and sometimes cant call out. Each time we call (with cell) they say nothing is wrong and will send a tech out days later and an hour before the tech is supposed to show up, it suddenly starts working again. A week later it stops working, and we go through the same ordeal. I wonder who they cut off, whent hey turn ours on, and who gets service when they cut ours off. Its like they play musical chairs with our phone service. Sometimes we get incomming calls, sometimes outgoing, but hardly ever both. **bleep**? Now waiting another 8 days for them to send someout out because right now we dont even have a ring tone. Please just fix the problem, or stop charging us the $30 for the service. What a sham. Oh, and to top it all off,t his week, Verizon Wireless also assigned my wifes account/phone number to someone elses contract. She has had the number for over 10 years, I just bought her a new iPhone (full price $900) and when we went the store a man by the name of Carlos told us to pound sand. He had given the line to someone else and the only way he would fix it is if we returned the phone we bought from Verizon online, and bought a phone in his store!!! Can you believe it. Carlos would not give her line back unless she bought a phone in his store.

Since upgrading to Firefox 5, I can no longer browse for attachments in AOL Webmail, and every time I open Firefox, it asks me if Mozilla can make changes to my hard drive. I've gone back to Internet Explorer.

I upgraded to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and ever since then, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to allow Mozilla to make changes to my hard drive. I have to answer "Yes" or else it won't open Firefox. Then when I open my AOL Webmail and try to browse for an attachment, it freezes up the browser window and I have to open the Task Manager to close Firefox. I have now gone back to Internet Explorer which does not have either one of these problems.

Maybe just corrupted Disk Utility preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
