Smartphone not so smart...
Help needed with my n6630.It seems as tho the pitiful amount of onboard ram is not coping with my download frenzies. I cant seem to clear it without formatting the phone.I've downloaded FEXPLORER but when i look in the Ram directory it shows as empty,but the amount shown free only leaves me abt 630k.Does any1 kno of an app that will flash the ram clear?I would very much be grateful if u can help.
Which one do you recommend then?Did have FVirus on fone but not sure how that rates.Any thoughts on which is best?

Why are Symbian 'smartphones' not as smart as thei...
I used to have a Nokia 6230i, which I was really pleased with – the operating system (S40) was pretty much a perfected evolution from what I used to have on my 5140, and before that, the 5210. Recently I was offered an 'upgrade' to the 6120 classic, one of the newest Symbian S60 'smartphones' (reasons for quotation marks to follow). I took the 6120, lured mainly by the Nokia Maps application.
Whilst I have been impressed with Nokia Maps and a handful of other applications, I have to say that on the whole the move to Symbian has been a very frustrating one, and now I'm wondering whether I can really be bothered to keep the 6120 just for the sake of a few applications. The worst thing is that in general the OS seems to have taken a step backwards from my old phone – incredible really that Nokia have simply ditched so many of the tweaks that they had perfected with the 6230i (and, I understand, the 6300).
So I've made a list here of ways in which the new phone is actually much worse than the old one. I'm by no means the first one to spot all of these problems, but I thought I'd list all my problems in one place. Until Nokia sorts these out I shall probably ditch the 6120 in favour of a 6300 (I rarely use 3G and never use video calling – it's just too expensive), or maybe a non-Nokia phone altogether. Some of you may not agree with my preferences below, but I think we should at least be given the option to change them ourselves. I've been using the latest firmware (3.83) for the 6120, and some of these may not apply to other S60 phones.
1. You can't have a shortcut to the Inbox! Surely (maybe after Contacts or New message) this would be the most frequently used shortcut ever? It is totally ridiculous that you have to go through Messaging every time. The list of shortcuts is very poor in general – other obvious ones missing include:
Active standby – so I could switch it on or off as I need;
Personalisation – so I don't have to go through the whole Settings tree to get to the options I change most frequently;
Alarm clock – you shouldn't have to go through Clock, instead you should be able to get straight to 'New quick alarm';
Network settings – so I can turn 3G on and off as I need it.
And yet for some reason Nokia think that we need shortcuts to About product, Welcome, Tutorial, Device Manager and Activation keys – hardly features that you use very often! Also the shortcuts list isn't alphabetical – wouldn't this be the easiest way of finding the shortcuts you want? Basically the whole system of shortcuts needs sorting out – a much better way of doing it would be to have the ability to make shortcuts to anywhere you want in the menu tree (I think this is how Sony Ericssons work?).
2. Can only have up to 8 shortcuts – 2 on the selection keys and 6 active standby. The old 'Go to' list could have as many shortcuts as you wanted. Why couldn't we have more active standby shortcuts to scroll though? Or a single shortcut to a 'Go to' submenu/grid that we could customise ourselves?
3. Can't customise Active standby modules – you should be able to remove the calendar and add modules (e.g. Inbox, Contacts) that you use more often (I think you may be able to do this on some other S60 phones?).
4. Contact searching by last name – when I search for someone's name, I always look by first name. Having additional results show up for last names just means it takes that much longer to find what I'm looking for – we should really be able to turn this off.
5. Imported contacts put names into last name – most of my contacts are listed by first name only, with a surname only when there are two people with the same first name (surely this is the way most people file their contacts?). So when I import my old contacts, it would make much more sense to import names into the first name. Couldn't it also split two-word names into first name and last name?
6. No option to turn off startup tone – the 6230i had this, so why now does everyone around me need to know when I turn on my phone?
7. Can't turn off camera shutter sound – another annoying sound you now can't get rid of, even in Silent mode.
8. Can't set alarm clock snooze interval – on my old 6230i you could change the snooze time, now I'm stuck with it going off every 5 minutes.
9. Can no longer snooze with any button – you could do this on the 6230i, but now you have to make sure you hit the right button (and not Stop by mistake). Not so easy when you've barely woken up.
10. Can't scroll down to text message details – you used to be able to keep scrolling down after a text message to get the details (such as date & time) but now you have to go through yet another annoying menu.
11. Can't use number shortcuts in Profile list – you used to be able to use the number buttons to shortcut through your list of profiles. For example, I could just hit Power -> 4 to get to my 'Office' profile, but now I have to scroll through the whole list.
12. Limited number shortcuts in menus – you can only use the numbers on the keypad to shortcut through to a certain depth of menus. For example, within Phone settings you can't use the numbers to navigate the menus any more.
13. Only time of last call from a caller is shown in missed/received calls – previously you could go into the Missed calls list, select a caller and go to 'Time of call', which would show you when all the calls were from that person. Now if you want to do this you have to go into the Log, find the person you're looking for, and then filter out that number.
14. Volume button can mute call – previously when you turned the volume down all the way during a call it would go to the lowest voume, useful for when someone is shouting at you down the phone. Now if you do this it mutes the volume entirely, which is a lot less useful (depending on whether you actually need to hear what they're shouting!).
15. No conversions or calculations from standby mode – on the 6230i you could type a number straight in on the main screen (as you would a phone number) and then go Options -> In domestic to do a currency conversion. No sign of this on the 6120.
16. No countdown timer or stopwatch – I actually used the countdown timer quite often. Now I have Nokia to blame for my burnt pies. :-(
So come on Nokia, sort it out! Surely it can't be that difficult? And next time, why not pay attention to improvements that have been made so well in other product lines?@PsychoMania.
Okay could you please tell me what Nokia phone to buy to get GPS onboard, a 5MP camera with a Xeon flash, Wi-Fi and a decent browser WITHOUT S60? ;-)
Nokia forces S60 onto users these days and you are right, I probably don't need Symbian. You sure could do all of the above WITHOUT Symbian and S60.
I work as a software developer myself and I don't think Symbian is so fantastic. Yes you can make deeper applications that integrate better than a Java-application but at what cost? Bye, bye sandbox and interpreter code.
Take SkyeQuikey. It needs to load forever after every reboot and is very unstable. It refuses to properly work sometimes and seems to be leaking memory (managed code is the way of the future - everyone knows this but S60 does not support it unlike Windows Mobile). In other words: Very close to being useless because stability and speed is essential for me.
Your analogy with Windows is very interesting. Windows DOES the entire basics well (especially Vista) except antivirus - just like S60. But unlike S60, Vista does all its basic features quite good if you ask me. You don’t need to change the basics of what one has come to expect from an OS – Windows Explorer covers even my most Linux-fanatic colleagues needs very well. The basic file explorer in S60 cannot even show complete details for long filenames. But the Music Player can… see the problem?
There is no excuse for not having a properly SMS editor. Windows Mobile has it and is also a fully operating system. Actually EVERY phone has a complete OS and every feature is simply an application but Symbian only differs in being MORE open to the public and 3rd party developers (but still somewhat bound to the hardware unlike Windows XP/Vista).
Consider every feature of the phone to be bundled integrated software. But the problem is that the software is of very low quality. And no 3rd part software can be as good as a 1st part software becuase Symbian is NOT completely open.
Research??
I did not think that buying a S60 phone meant replacing almost every basic function with something better. And still, nobody has made a complete replacement of the texting system that matches what feature-phones can do. And the worst part is that it is quite possible but either people don't care or the usual Symbian fans don't care about texting. If that is the case then Nokia should stop shipping every feature-rich phone they make, with S60.
According to what they are going to change with FP2, Nokia also seems to be aware of this because their focus is on the UI. But they could have done this long ago. So maybe our critic is not completely wrong? -
after upgrade to iOS8 on my iPhone5, I do not see smart keyboard options while typing message or email text
Go to Settings>General>Keyboards>Predictive Text>ON. If it is on, you can toggle it off and then back on. The other method is to check in the typing area of the Messages app and it could be minimized. You would see a small line in the center just below the typing area. You would just need to put your finger on that small line and swipe upwards. But either should bring it back.

Hi. A few months ago I upgraded from iPhoto to aperture. It's all rather confusing but I've been willing to overlook it because of the usefulness of aperture as an advanced photo editor.
Now however all sorts of weird things are showing up. The Smart albums in particular are bizarre. Even the ones that come pre-made in Aperture. In particular the “in the last month” and "in the last week" etc. contain images from all over the map, as it were. Yes, there are images from in the last month, week or what have you—but there are also random images from all sorts of other time frames, projects, albums and folders.
This is particularly annoying because it also seems to have messed up the way photos are synced with my iPhone which (much to my surprise) is one of my favorite things to do on the iPhone: display my photos. Albums on the iPhone contain images often repeated 75 times or other such bizarre problems.
I assume something is corrupt somewhere but I don't know how to “reboot” my libraries without losing precious information.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my smart albums and what is wrong with the syncing.
Many thanks…As a new Aperture user myself, I had a similar issue. Maybe it's related to yours.
Smart Albums have many options to choose from, and I was a bit confused at the beginning. While setting the Smart Album, you need to be sure you're marking the options you really want/need, and nothing else. For example, my "In the last month" Smart Album showed only one photo, and that wasn't correct.
But the reason was simple: I had written some text in the Search/Filter field (upper right), and obviously that was filtering the not-so-smart results in my folder.
Hope that helps.

My Sony Bravia HDTV is not a smart TV. How do I setup connection between the Apple TV, Comcast HD box and the Sony. I believe the HDM1 cable goes from the Sony to the back of the Apple TV, but what cables connect the Sony back to the Comcast box?
Welcome to the Apple community.
The HDMI cable goes from the Apple TV to the TV. -
I have noticed that within Smart Groups I can not Edit Distribution List email addresses. After I change, they do not stick. Editing Distribution List works on regular Groups no problem.
Anyone have this issue or answer?
Also isn't it funny the Smart Groups do not sync to MobileMe or iPhone, once again not so "smart".
Any suggestions?I'm not sure what you mean about editing distribution list addresses, but what you need to understand is that Smart Mailboxes are not actually mailboxes. Think of them more like saved searches - they remember what you're searching for and do a new search for those items when you view them. This is why they don't behave like regular mailboxes in many ways.

Some weeks ago my PowerBook hard disk showed some bad sectors. Trying to repair it with Disk Warrior, TechTools and Disk Utility all had mixed results. THEN Disk Utility reported that SMART had reported a Fatal failure. After that none of the utilities could repair the disk. I could not even format it anymore in Disk Utility. Disk Warrior had nothing to repair. I was ready to go buy a new hard disk (read separate thread on using 160GB internal to replace 80GB original).
But, before spending almost $400-500 I was able to force mounth the disk, and use one of the utilities to write zeros in all the blank space. That worked. THEN I reformatted the drive and used Erase space with Zeroes option (hoping to remove/lock out bad sectors). THEN I cloned data back and have been using the machine since then and SMART reports the disk is Verified and Healthy.
So, I am not sure if I am just pushing my luck (though backing up my data every 24 hours) or if SMART is just not that SMART and can report FATAL failures while the disk may be fine....
Opinions, experiences? Let me know... Will report if it actually fails.

c- TechTool Pro DOES show bad blocks in a surface
scan, but I believe that utility shows what is on the
physical drive, and not what the OS makes available
for use. In other words, TechTools will probably
always tell that Bad Blocks Exist.
Actually, from reading around, and from experience, I think this is not such a good sign. On the PowerBook I had, once I reformatted and wrote zeros, neither TechTool Pro nor smartmontools showed any bad blocks any more. smartmontools just showed the previously re-allocated sectors in its report. So I think that the fact that TechTool Pro still shows bad blocks is a sign it's still shedding magnetic media.
The reallocated sector information is actually stored in the drive's firmware, so any attempt to read or write to the bad sector just sends the drive's head to the spare sector. So, if it was able to remap all the bad sectors, a surface scan shouldn't show any bad blocks.
d- I slowly started moving my data back to the
PowerBook and am backing up everything, everyday. So
far, no problems, except the dreaded nightmare of mds
spotlight process having taken over the machine for
24 HOURS. Even looking for a specific file by
specific name in Finder that I typed in 4 HOURS ago
is still spinning. I HATE MDS and I hope the creator
of the obnoxious behavior of mds/spotlight suffers
pain of some sort or the other... curses on them...
note to self, buy voodoo dolls and pins.
Ah, but if your drive isn't healthy, then that could explain the Spotlight problem. My PowerBook doesn't stall out and get taken over by Spotlight's indexing. I don't remember it taking more than an hour or so to index my drive. I frankly never notice it except when I attach an external FireWire drive that's never been attached before.
f- I am comfortable compiling stuff, though never had
the opportunity to do that on Mac OS X.
Well, if you have Xcode installed, if I remember correctly, it's just the usual download the source, unpack the archive, then ./configure, and make steps. I don't remember anything unusual about it, anyway.
SHOULD have bought 10000 Apple shares at
$7 back then
Heh, heh, yep. I remember saying almost exactly the same thing.
h- I would love to try to compile this smartmontools
app, but would it give me any more info/utility than
I already see in TechTools?
I don't remember what TechTool shows, but this page has an example report (with a drive failing because of a reallocated sector count).

Captivate 7 Master Slide Placeholders - need to not be Smart Objects
Hi,
We are trying to use the Print output for our storyboards so that editors can proof and edit all text captions in the course. The output templates do not recognize smart objects and it seems that the only placeholders that work for titles and subtitles are smart objects.
Does anyone have a suggestion or work around?
Thanks
KrisHello Sreekanth,
That would be great if only the Handouts would actually output the slide images. They don't for and none of the suggestions in the forums to get the conversion in Word to work correctly has helped.
We need the slide images, notes (or closed caption since handouts don't work for us), and all text captions. Would be great if we go the smart objects to display with handouts but we must have the slide images and Word 2010 with Captivate 7 on a Windows 7 64-bit computer does not output the slide images in handouts. It does output the slide images with the Storyboard template so we have been trying to use the Storyboard template and add the tags for CC and text captions.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I have 111 files to send. Why only 50 files. You are not very smart to do it this way.
I have 111 files to send Why only 50 files. You are not very smart to do it this way.
Hi,
If you want to send more than 50 files, you can zip them up into a single file and send them that way. (Note that zip files aren't previewable by the recipient. They need to be downloaded.)
You might want to check the thread: Re: Is there any way around the limit of 50 files in Adobe Send?
The feedback has been sent to the engineering team to consider.

When I use my iphone4 to call a contact on her mini ipad it seems to use her phone number from my contact list and this is not a smart phone or in use where she is. How can I make my phone use the e-mail address to call her on her wifi connection.
pdroth wrote:
You're off base... I know what this problem is, and I provided the workaround for her.
Then why was the OP able to make the facetime calls before, with both items in a single contact then (if I am reading his posts correctly)? I know I do not have to separate my contacts like that, and I do facetime with a couple of relatives with wifi only iPads (usually from my own iPad 4 or MBP, but I've done it once or twice from my iPhone 5 - all of which use the exact same contact entries).
Is this a quirk specific to an iPhone 4? -
The YouView Smartphone App, Not So Smart
I thought ''that will be good to have'' incase I want to set recordings when away from home.
However, if you have your set top box set to High Eco the app reverts that back to Low Eco and then if you spot this and try to reset that mode to your original setting the whole App becomes just too much bother.
First you need to disconnect mobile connection(s) namely the App and remember to reconnect the same thing before you leave home incase you want to use it again (which is quite time consuming in its present design) .... and so on and so on .............
So I just deleted the app and will live without it until I hear it has been updated to some useful ''being''
If you like a post, or want to say thanks for a helpful answer, please click on the Ratings Star on the left-hand side of the post.
If someone answers your question correctly please let other members know by clicking on ’Mark as Accepted Solution’.What's the problem?
When the box is in High Eco Mode it is entirely off, everything is powered down and only the internal timer is running so that it records any pre-scheduled shows. That's why it takes so long to boot up.
In this mode the box cannot check in with the YouView server for any new recording instructions. In the Low Eco mode the box is only snoozing like a PC and can check every 15 minutes for any new recording instructions.
Even if the box in High Eco mode COULD wake itself up every 15 minutes to check for any new recording instructions, what would be the point of it being in High Eco mode when it was going to wake up 4 times an hour? -
Problem: Can't snap a curcle's center to a multi-angled (45 and 90 degree) path
Device and Program details: Illustrator CS6 running on a 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz Processer and 16 GB RAM)
I've worked with Ai for years but can't remember running into this problem but it seems so simple. When I click, hold and drag center of the circle over the angled path it pretends its not even there. But when I make a sigle straight line, the circle will snap to that path. So my question is, can smart guides even do this (and if so, how) or is this a glitch with the new CS6?
I've experimented with the Smart Guide preferences but nothing seems to work. If you have any feedback please let me know.
Here is a pic of the the object and path I'm trying to snap:They changed the behavior of Smart Guides with CS5, I think. (Maybe it was CS4) In some circumstances, you need to hold cmd to get it to snap.
If that doesn't work, are there any compound shapes that encircle the area shown? Sometimes they can be an invisible block to clicks and snaps, even though there isn't anything visible... -
A couple days ago I won a 32g 3rd gen iPad at a work party. Today, I bought a gray smart CASE (not smart COVER). However, the lock/unlock function doesn't work when i open and close the cover of the case. Any suggestions?
Hello, if the setting in Settings> General> iPad Cover Lock/Unlock is turned On already and it still won't lock, check to see if the issue occurs on other devices.
If the cover works perfectly with other devices, try a Hard Reset of your device, if it's still not working, try restoring.
If after the restore the issue continues, take it to an Apple Retail Store (or call Apple) and organise service for the device
Alternatively, if the Cover won't work on other devices, have the cover replaced at the apple store -
IMovie '11 does not show Smart album pictures
iMovie isn't showing the pictures in my smart albums. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem? Created and verified content in iPhoto. The smart album titles show up in iMovie but when I try to drill down into the pictures nothing happens; no photos. Shut everything down in case it had to do with file handles not being closed properly, restarted and still the same non-result.
Any Suggestions?Unfortunately, from reading the iMovie Discussion Board every day religiously this seems to happen. Somehow something clears up after having a big problem for a while. One thing to try is have iPhoto 'rebuild' its Library file by hold down Command key + Option key then launch iPhoto. This will bring up a dialog box with a number of options/check boxes. I don't know enough about each one to say which ones to check or uncheck. Possibly check all of them and let iPhoto run it's course until it finishes. You will have to wait a while if you have very large iPhoto library, but it might clear up this problem of importing photos from iPhoto especially after a OS X 10.7 Lion update.

Hello community. I am trying to utilize smartlists to do some pretty detailed sorting of my music. The kind of sorting I am interested in doing seems to be something that iTunes is made to do in the smartlists, but for some reason is not happening.
I double checked that I have the music types required to have at least a few results pop-up, but nothing is coming up at all.
You can see the screenshot of what I am trying to do here...
http://www.djbis.com/downloads/documents/SmartPlaylistTest.JPG
Any insight you may be able to provide in order to crack this problem that I have seen since version 4 would be phenomenal.Clearly, you're wanting it to get both House and Trance music, however you have it set to get music that contains both House AND Trance in the Genre.
The real problem here is that I think there's no way to do what you want with a single playlist.
Conceptually, a smart playlist contains either OR rules or AND rules, but not both at the same time. That is, you can do:
A=B AND C=D AND D=E
but not:
(A=B OR A=C) AND D=E
The solution is to make two smart playlists. The first one will be:
Match ANY
Genre contains House
Genre contains Trance
The second one will be:
Match ALL
Playlist is (your house/trance list above)
BPM is in the range 130-140
My Rating is in the range * to ***
This will do what you want.
