  • What MMC standard, or speed does the Nokia 9300 su...

    In looking thru the manual the 9300 supports 2GB MMC cards, but it does not mention what standard it supports, such as speed. The FAQ on the web Site only mentions that it supports the NOkia 128MB, and 512 Card.
    In looking at information on these cards the MMC4.0 specification is mentioned, also a 200X speed standard. Will the 9300 work with these cards?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    It works with MMC, MMC Plus, rsMMC, rsDvMMC. Speed, the faster, the better. Size... at least 1Gb, because on Nokia 9500, the 2Gb card doesn´t work.

    Best Settings for Video Playback on Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
    Nokia 5800 as the multimedia phones makes you able to enjoy watching the video and music with it. The question is, how’s to do to convert that videos and what are the best setting used for. I have convert many videos into my phone, I found that most video files can play with this phone such as mp4, 3gp, rmvb and flv files. But of them plays well but some are not. After many tries, I finally got the best results for Nokia video files. My video in 5800 was full screen, high quality and sounds very well. Here are my settings:
    Video Resolution: 480*320
    Video Bitrate: 768 kbps
    Audio Bitrate: 128 kbps
    Video Format: MPEG-4 (be sure not to use H264, as it’s not supported in the current firmware)
    Audio Format: MP3
    Audio Channels: 2 Channels
    You can apply these settings above in whatever application you used when converting videos into 5800. Then I am sure you will get full screen, high quality and flawless video in your phone.
    Settings for video playback on Nokia N97, N95, N85 and other Nokia phones.
    Nokia N97: Video playback formats are 3GP formats, Flash Video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4; the video resolution is 360*640. Audio formats are AAC, M4A, MP3, WAV, WMA etc.
    Nokia N96: video playback formats are 3GP, Flash video, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, RealVideo, WMV 9; the video resolution is 240*320. Audio formats are AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA etc.

    How to transfer video files into Nokia 5800
    I have download some videos from video website such as Youtube, Google video. But I can’t watch these videos in my phone. As these videos were flv files, Nokia 5800 can’t play such videos. I use Internet Tablet Video Converter to convert it, but it shows “Unsupported Video File Type”. Then I got to know some best video converter  that seems professional for Nokia phone, I free download its trial version and tried it, and it works very well. Below are what I do:
    Click Add button to add video files from your computer, set your videos according to the above settings and select Nokia 5800 Video MPEG-4 format for your video. Then just click convert button to start the conversion. After the conversion complete, you may watch these videos with Nokia 5800.
    Also you may get music from video in this way. But pay attention to the format. As Nokia 5800 support mp3 audio format, you should select “MP3 – MPEG Layer-3 Audio (*.mp3)”.
    How to convert DVD files into Nokia 5800
    Obviously phones don’t have DVD drives, so to watch DVD on a phone you have to convert it into a video file on your PC then drag it into your phone. I also follow the above settings and convert DVD files into MPEG-4 video with Daniusoft DVD Ripper. the results are excellent.
    After insert your DVD into the DVD Drive click the Open DVD button to upload DVD files on to this program. Click Settings button to set your videos according to the above settings I listed. Click Profile drop list to select “Nokia 5800 Video MPEG-4 (*.mp4)” format for your Nokia video. Then click Convert button to start the conversion. In few minutes the whole process will completed.
    If you select audio format “MP3 – MPEG Layer-3 Audio (*.mp3)” you may also get music from DVD.
    To transfer files into Nokia 5800
    In the above tutorial I have explain you how to convert Nokia videos from DVD and other video files. Then you need to transfer these videos into your phone.
    1. Make sure your computer and phone are both switched on. Also make sure your 5800 have a memory card in its slot.
    2. Plug the small end of the microUSB cable into the phone’s USB socket, which s under a plastic flap in the top left corner.
    3. Plug the larger end of the microUSB cable into a USB port on your computer.
    4. On your 5800 it should ask which mode you wish to use. Choose “Mass Storage”.
    5. Open the memory card window (probably called “Removable Disk E:”), drag your video files into the video folder.
    6. After finished transfer files, do not disconnect the cable yet. You should make it safe to disconnect the cable. You may do this by click a small icon in the bottom right corner of the screen that appears when the phone is connected.
    7. After you have made the device safe to remove, you can unplug the cable at both ends.
    Some useful tips to make the Nokia 5800's battery last as long as possible
    Sometimes you may have to stop talking with your friend or watching videos with your phone as low power of your battery. It is more inconvenient if you are in travel and have no alternative battery. Here are some tips to make your phone battery last as long as possible when using telephone.
    Do not switch the phone off. As switching a phone on uses far more battery power than simply leaving the phone on.
    Shut down unnecessary applications.
    Turn down the 5800’s screen brightness to the lowest acceptable level.
    Switch off your 5800’s screen when not in use.
    Use headphones instead of speakers when listening to music or watching movies.
    Avoid using the camera flash unnecessarily.
    Use 2G instead of 3G.
    Switch off Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi.'

  • Several severe Issues with the Nokia 808 (camera, ...

    Hey Guys,
    I was a avid user of the Nokia N8 with its amazin camera features. So i made the switch to the 808. While the initial Impression was awesome, when traveling over the last few days my experience wasn't that great. There are several in part very severe issues i am having:
    1st and foremost: the cameras automatic shutter speed is too low for nearly every shot. No, my hands are not too shaky, I've doing professional photgraphs since 10 years now and am able to shoot with 1/10th and lower. Yet, when enjoying a boat tour in Copenhagen and taking pictures of the passing scenerey, nearly all images have noticeable motion blur due to the slooooow movement of the boat. And this in bright daylight. The only way to bypass this was by using the sports mode - but then again you are limited to 5 megapixels. You can also notice the very long shutter time when simply taking a picture of your local metro station. MOst of the people walking by have motion blur.
    This brings me to issue number 2: I really don't get why i am unable to influence the focus method. You get the Landscape and Sports mode (which use a fixed focus) but that's not available in the creative mode. So even when doing simple panoramic shots in the creative mode in 5, 8 or 34 megapixels the camera has to focus. Problem here: when shooting panoramic stills the focus sometimes decides to focus on a nearby person instead of the 'big picture'.
    Issue number 3: When manually selecting a very low ISO value (for decent night shots) the Camera makes that artificial shutter sound WAY before the shutter actually closes. Therefore you THINK that taking the picture is already done and move the camera around. This results in awful images
    Issue number 4: Battery usage is way to high on the 808. I was able to take my N8 around town all day, shoot over 300 (Yes, 300) images, do a bit of navigation, email, browse and tak without the battery being drained below 15%. I ran out of battery with the 808 after only 136 images, 15 mins of Navigation, Wireless Lan and 3G turned OFF. So the entire point of having a device that combines phone and camera and lasts all day is simply gone I had usage times of 3-4 days with the N8 (when not on vacation) - the 808 is drained after the first night under the very same conditions.
    To sum it up - i'd like to see the following things fixed/added:
    - Behaviour of the automatic shutter
    - Option to manually select shutter
    - Option to select different focus methods (on / off ) in creative mode
    - BATTERY USAGE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED!
    - black on white color theme for email
    - ability to select multiple images in album view like before
    - ability to get additional information on the image like with the n8 when you press and hold and select 'details'
    - Ablity to turn of autofocus in video mode
    - when deleting an email while reading the email, display the previous mail instead of the inbox
    Would be great to get some feedback from you guys on that!
    thanks

    Solved!

    Hello…I own an 808 PureView device. At the outset, I must congratulate you for creating such a marvelous device. It’s in all dimensions a brilliant Smartphone and has no major lags except a few which I would like to mention as suggestions to improve the general smoothness and usefulness of its User Interface (henceforth-UI).
    The in-built gallery lacks ‘mark multiple items’ option which, if integrated, can be fruitfully used to delete or send multiple items though Bluetooth. Also, the in-built gallery lacks ‘renaming’ function which would otherwise be helpful in organizing the gallery items, and in giving custom names which are easy to remember and deal with.
    The generic MUSIC PLAYER lacks the track/music search function from within the music player, and so, to search a song out of the vast collection, the user has to use the generic SEARCH application by exiting or minimizing the music player, which in itself is a cumbersome exercise. The search function, if integrated into the music player, will help a great deal in making the music experience really customized and precise as also time saving.
    The in-built VIDEO editing options available in the video viewing dashboard are relatively much naïve and rudimentary as compared to PureView’s lesser predecessor, the N8. Now, since 808 is a full-fledged camera Smartphone, it is bit logical on part of the user to expect the video editing dashboard to be as efficient and complete as the photo editing dashboard of the same is.  Advance options like adding music clip can be added to the video editing console to mitigate the need of using any third party application to do so, and thus, it will further enhance the utility drawn from the cell-phone UI in terms of video editing and viewing.
    The generic MESSAGING application has the default view as CONVERSATIONS view and manual selection every time is required to switch the view to FOLDERS mode. If there had been an option to make a choice in setting the folders view or the conversations view as default as per users convenience, it would have been again a smooth messaging experience.
    To end up, the generic CONTACT application lacks the facility to edit the contact labels unlike the one which was available in S60 V3 devices (I owned N79 prior to owing 808 PureView and so I am well aware of this utility). Facility to edit the contact labels makes it easy to differentiate between multiple contact numbers of the same contact so as to have an ease of remembrance and clarity of use.
    I earnestly hope that Nokia will incorporate some or all of these suggestions in the next-to-come firmware upgrade for Belle FP1 devices. These modifications/additions, if done and made, will make the Belle OS fully competent with its various other contemporaries as it just lacks these things but otherwise is a fluid and extremely useful OS. I request you to kindly pay due heed and consideration to my observations and work towards making the Belle OS an all-encompassing mobile platform. Thanking You.

  • I set up time capsule using a wireless 4g modem.  it's been five hours and it still is saying making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB).  Can I stop the whole thing, get a ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?

    I set up a new time capsule on a wireless 4g modem.  I started the initial backup.  It's been five hours and it still says "making backup disk available (4.97 GB of 18.52 GB)."  Can I stop the whole thing, connect my computer to the time machine using an ethernet cable and start over to increase the speed of the backup?

    oh i already did that. Im working on my imac and looking into this on my macbook. Was able to reproduce the issue again by trying to open TM. Locked out the finder again and had to restart. I checked the serial number and it was an early 2009 purchase with no coverage.
    If you bought a Mac and got AppleCare with it, within 2 years of buying the TC, the TC is covered, too.
    I have to admit that this $500 unit was the first to apparently junk out. The western digital that had my main data on that is my daily external that I store about 2TB of data on is still perfect and the new technology TM appears to already be cashed. Love the computers, not to big of a fan on the externals of the apple TV's. No life expectancy. Neither here nor there.
    suggestions before I either get this looked at or scrap the HD on it and move forward.?
    Reset the TC. See [Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728].
    Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
    If all else fails, take it to your local Apple Store or Authorized Repair location, they may be able to determine whether the disk is dead.
    If it is, they might replace the TC for you. If not, they won't repair it, but if the electronics are ok, you can replace the HD yourself, if you want to. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542983

    No, those apps are not all running. They are recently used apps. Very few apps actually run in the background. Closing these non-running apps will do nothing to speed up the phone.

  • What would you rate the nokia X3-02

    Hey everyone,
    I'm thinking about buying a Nokia X3-02 and I would like some advice, ratings and tips that could help me out. What colour do you think is best for the nokia X3-02?
    Thanks.

    I have had a white "unicorn"  X3-02 for a while now. I have been pretty satisfied with it. You should really think what you want from your phone and check that the phone you buy has those. After all X3-02 is pretty cheap feature phone so you cannot expect anything like X9 stuff from it.

  • Is Nokia 603 processor speed increased with Nokia ...

    Hello, I did the Nokia Belle FP1 update for my Nokia 603 phone. So far it seems ok, good improvements here and there. What I am wondering is whether the processor speed of 603 got increased from 1.0 GHz to 1.3 GHz like Nokia 700 and 701 phones.

    Yes,processor speed increased from 1 Ghz to 1.3 Ghz
    Though Nokia mentioned before the update that it will not get increase in processor speed.

  • Who can solve iSync problem with Nokia N95? (I use the Nokia plug already)

    Hello
    Since I bought my new cool Mac:, I sync my N95 with iSync and the Nokia N95 plug-in. Thinking at first that is works flawlessly (as other members here seem to think as well) I later found out, that if I make changes to any calendar or "to do" description! on either the N95 or the Mac it syncs, but only up until a certain number of characters. If I exceed this number, the description on the phone will simply be cut off - in the iCal it still fully appears though.
    Rather surprising, since when syncing with a PC via the Nokia PC suite there is no such an issue. All my often lengthy descriptions are fully put on the phone. And if I sync back there are no problems either. So I guess it has to do with the iSync protocol or this Nokia N95 iSync plug-in? Any ideas, solutions...? Any help greatly appreciated!

    The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.

If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone.

  • Speed on the Airport Extreme

    Hi I have a Macbook running Leopard. Everything runs well. Ever since I bought the Airport extreme WIFI N router my connection speed to the connected external hard drive is rather slow.....
    Here is what i do....
    I have a 250gig Mybook connected to the Airport extreme. On the airport utility settings, if I set it to only N wifi the speed is very slow. So i have to keep it on the multiple settings (b/g/n). According to my Macbook, when I have the multiple settings the speed is 130 mbs but if it's on only n then it's 300mbs.
    So my question is, why is the connection faster when it's on multiple settings then when it's on just N?
    is there a fix for this?

    Leopard Ron, Welcome to the discussion area!
    According to my Macbook, when I have the multiple settings the speed is 130 mbs but if it's on only n then it's 300mbs.
    So my question is, why is the connection faster when it's on multiple settings then when it's on just N?
    I'm confused by your question. Your first statement says that it is faster (300 Mbps) in 802.11n only. Your question seems to indicate the opposite.

  • How to speed up the performance in Oracle APEX - Classical Report loading

    Hi,
    I am using APEX 4.2, DB 11.2.
    I have created 2 reports in the page and the time that is taken to load this page is very huge.
    To speed up the performance materialized views were used on queries, but still the performance is the same.
    checked the app in DEBUG mode, the following event takes a lot of time to execute:

    Check query performance very carefully. If you execute the SQL more than once in a short amount of time the data will be in memory and accessed more quickly. It is possible that your fast response time was against cached data and therefore faster. If this is the case further tuning the SQL (the MV query) may help.
    It is also possible the slowness is due to other factors - network, firewall, antivirus software, etc. I am running Apex on my laptop using the embedded pl/sql gateway and due to antivirus and security software it can take pages 30 seconds or more to load.

  • The Nokia vs Customer Service Challenge

    Nokia, let's see what your made of?
    I bought a nokia N97 around 3 months ago. At this stage the Blackberry was the phone to have (still is) but being the nokia fan that I always "was" decided to go with the N97. Now please understand that this phone was an out-right purchase, not "free" on some contract, so it set me back a few bucks.
    I have since talked friends out of taking Blackberry's, iPhones and other brands, convincing them that the N97 was the best phone ever made!
    Since the beginning of month 2 I have had nothing but trouble with this NASTY piece of hardware that Nokia has sold to me at the price of 2-3 months rent of a house or a cruise for a week to some island.
    The phones final destination and what happened today, which is what got me to challenge NOKIA on this forum is this. My phones battery died, I plugged it in using the original charger, with absolutely no response from the phone. I then thought it was a batter problem, bought a new battery, put it in and the phone came on. Then wanted to charge the battery as required, no response.
    I then tried the USB data cable, no response from the phone or the PC. I called nokia up and was told to do a hard reset as it was a software problem (hahahahahahaha) what ever! I gave them the benefit of the doubt as they are Nokia and they should know what they are talking about right? LOL. I reset my phone, lost all my data, 3 months of images, email, contacts etc (I admit, I should have done a backup). My mass storage is non-existent anymore, it does not even open the folder or the drive, it tells me it is in use.
    Even if my data was still on the phone, how would I get it off? The USB does not work. And how do I charge the phone?
    I am very disappointed in my choice for taking the Nokia apposed to the iPhone as was my other choice, but even a Blackberry would have proved a better choice.
    I would like to challenge Nokia right here to contact me and come up with a solution, to fix the phone for me (and provide another while doing so) or giving me a replacement. I will update the thread on a daily basis with all (if any) feed back I get from Nokia.
    Come on Nokia, show us what your made of!
    Kind Regards,

    Right now having had two posts removed as they are 'disrespectful to Nokia' or involved pm from Nokia, I try again (hopefully this is anodyne enough to get through):
    Used to be nokia Fanboy not so any more (too old and see below):
    Nokia N95 owned for 6 months. Returned after 6 months faulty - took refund.
    Nokia N97 2 replacements - first two units failed almost out of the box.Third after 8 months with software problems. I felt s/ware to be flaky from the start I am afraid.
    Nokia N900: pretty happy with this but bit discontent with Nokia obsolescing (expensive) mobile so fast. But now N900 returned to Nokia under warranty (unable to recognise sim card), returned to me one week later with same fault but now with Sim bracket totally detached.
    First line support suggest that I wait a week while they investigate. Called back to make complaint and Nokia agree to UPS pick up next day.
    Cal Nokia one week later and told phone is with UPS to be delivered and I should expect on that day. Call later to confirm but asking to be put through to second level support who then inform me that phone is not in delivery but is waiting for quality and assurance testing.
    Nokia tell me that I should track through case reference:  enter reference supplied to their website and response is that there is no information about this repair.
    I am now told Nokia will call me next Tuesday.
    Compare and contrast friend has problems with HTC Desire (slow to boot/turning itself off occasionally). Replaced within week of first phone call.
    Have spent 2-3 hours on the phone over this.

    i tried to talk to them with all the problems we E72 users are facing, but seems somehow that they either keep avoiding the question, or don't answer the question, but give answers that slightly have something to do with the question. either way their replies don't help whatsoever.
    I tried to ask them to send a software engineer to look at our problems, I asked twice and they didn't answer both times.

    Hi, I read that there is a new release for the E72, v51.018. From current posts in Nokia's discussion page, many of the problems that existed in v22.007 and v31.023 were not resolved in v51.018.
    Furthermore, i read that program versions such as for Adobe Reader, the program did not update as v51.018 suggested.
    Is it possible to release the full firmware fixes? Many people are confused as to what the 450 fixes were, since a lot of current problems have yet to be resolved.
    "Altogether 450+ errors are fixed"
    Would you also be able to request an engineer to the Nokia Discussion forum in order to clear up any misunderstandings that current E72 owners have? that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    So, each E72 that has a v51.018 update are all completely different updates depending on the various E72 (singapore, North America, etc)? FOr the E72 that already have the v51.018 update available, many people have said that they are still experiencing problems that have been present since earlier firmwares.
    Is there a location where we can see what changes are made on the varient E72 updates? Currently I have an E72-2 (North America) and I saw that the update is not out yet for the North American version.

    THIS REPLY DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL

    On that website you provided, I did not see any message updates regarding software updates, merely whether my E72 model is eligible for a firmware update. Can you provide me the link with Nokia message updates regarding current firmwares? Also, there hasn't been much support on the nokia discussion forum about the current problems that the new firmware is experiencing. What is the update on that?
    Is there any way of downgrading? many people have said that the out-of-the-box firmware version was the most stable and that the v31.022 and v51.018 were very unstable compared to the original.
    Thanks.

    I just went to the web link you provided, and it said that my warranty is still valid, however it has given me 10 days to mail in my device, otherwise i need to provide proof of purchase. Did i accidentally activate something? I merely input my serial number to see what my options are.
    At this time, my phone has no problems, as i have not upgraded the firmware, BUT i am stresing that other owners of E72 are experiencing firmware issues, and I am asking if there is any way for a software engineer to investigate these issues so that future firmwares will have many issues solved that customers have found?

    Thank you for emailing the Nokia Care Contact Center.
    We apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused you. In response to your queries, we would like to inform you that you did not activate anything when you verify the warranty of your Nokia E72. No need to worry about the online warranty verification.
    In regard to the firmware update, updating the software of the handset will fix minor and major software issues that is causing and can cause issues. It is not our intention to provide more problem with the update that we are releasing. The main goal of the updates is to improve the device’s general performance.
    basically the conversation went in a full circle.. its obvious the firmware is to IMPROVE the performance of the E72, but it would be very helpful if a software engineer can SEE the problems that we are facing. Basically we are the guinea pigs who are testing the software stability, and they are the ones programming.. If they are not going to look at the problems we have exploited, there will be no solutions for this phone.
    Questionz, E72

    Romania is a member state of the European Union. As such you have a 24 month guarantee on the phone that any Nokia Care Point is bound to honour. If they refuse to repair your phone under warranty simply because you've had it for more than 48 hours, ask them for that in writing and send it to Nokia headquarters in Finland.
    Also note that no Nokia representatives follow these user-to-user forums in a professional capacity. There are forum moderators, but they have no function other than their title.
    Do you have a contact of Nokia headquarters in Finland to send e-mail ( it's can help me if i get a troubles with my N95 )?
    Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money
