Symbian 3: upgrading

Why is it not possible to upgrade symbian 3 phones to wp7?
I totally understand that nokia made an agreement with microsoft, but i am looking forward to it. ( i know many people are angry about it, but hey remember how u used to complain about symbian 3? Anyway whats done is done. Just like some kind of saying u will know the importance of something only after u lose it...)
But what makes me sad is that they are just dumping symbian behind. i would like to ask if upgrading to wp7 would be possible? May be by overclockig the symbian 3 phones? I found a guy who overclocked n8 to around 2 ghz.(http://moneyexpertsteam.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-t​o-overclock-nokia-n8-cpu-to-1000.html)

I think that that upgrade to w7 is not possible because when any company design a phone they combine all the chips set to work with a OS. So is possible in some cases to adapt the OS to a phone but you will get bugs or some features that never will work.
This happens because there are not standards to build phones, each company do their best then can and get the chip and parts suply that fit their budgets

  • IS SYMBIAN^1 UPGRADE TO SYMBIAN^3........????

    Hi, brother.
     Yesterday I mailed to symbian about upgrading symbian^1 to Symbian^3. and I got replay today. And they are telling that if nokia want they can give symbian^3 to their symbian^1 customers. If it happens its next very good thing after MAPs.
    If u interested in this topic then send a request mail to nokia for upgrading.
    What u say.........?

    While i agree with chanchan05 observations, i think it's possible.... Symbian^3 supports ARM11 architecture.... it may not be practical nor reasonable to implement (not to mention cheap), even for a 'lite' version without some 'candies'...
    However it would show that Nokia really cares about customers, X6, N97, 5530 and 5230 would be eligible as well for the update...
    But i really doubt it that there will be any effort in that way by nokia's side.... if there was any plans in that way Nokia would just correct existing bugs instead of implement/enhance new features on current firmwares...
    Because of the restrictive OS and IDE (however Qt Creator looks promising) i, as a programmer, give up of doing stuff for my phone (i actually did 3 small games and pseudo WRT plugin for Webkit) ... i would reconsider it if S^3 came to my phone... oh well...
    We can always dream .... or hope that some crazy, highly skilled (and perhaps angry?) programmer finds a way to force it into...
    5800xm on a blender ... will happen sooner than expected.... v51 is a failure as an update .... v52 just postponed its fate....

  • 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!

  • E7 SYMBIAN BELLE UPGRADE PROBLEM

    When upgrading my Nokia E7 from symbian anna to symbian belle, the phone switched off and on restarting, it dispay a text: '' phone startup failed, contact retailer.'' what can i do about this? your concern will be appreciated.

    If the warning came during the update and the phone no longer works you may have to take to a Nokia Care Point to be reflashed, if you can start the phone with a Three finger reset, try to reinstall Belle. If the phone has started misbehaving after completing the update, then as mentioned before, do a reset and reinstall Belle.
    Good Luck

  • Symbian OS upgrade on E90

    Hi
    I have an E90 (300.34.84), which I believe is on S60 3.1 feature pack1. The latest mail for exchange (2.9.158) has a feature where in we can define a access point group/destination and the mail for exchange can switch between WiFi and GPRS connection automatically. But the release notes say that this reqires S60 3.1 feature pack 2. How can i upgrade from S60 3.1 feature pack 1 to feature pack 2. Thanx

    the problem i have with symbian developers is that, their service to the customers is poor. I think i rather move to android or window because the xda developers are always serious bring some thing new to their customers. About a yr ago i was using the tmobile g1 which comes with android 1.6 but can you believe that the xda developers have made it successful to run the android 2.3 on this old device. But i don't see that with nokia or symbian developers. With this expensive e90 which cost me $400 can even be upgrade to fp2 then why should i wast me time with noki devices. Xda all the way. Fellows lets move to htc phone for better services.

  • Anna features lost with Symbian Belle upgrade N8

    So I eagerly upgraded from Anna to Belle on my N8. Here is a list of missing features;
    1) widget offline setting
    2) automatic wifi enable when launching the browser, store or other internet app
    3) bluetooth beep no longer present after turning off bluetooth
    4) turning wifi on doesn't automatically pair with defined access point
    5) task manager or open applications feature
    6) automatic screen blanking while placing or receiving a call
    7) wife connection drops but wifi radio stays on
    9) touching battery icon indicates remaining power (same for other icons)
    Another nit, apps that were previously downloaded when they were free, can no longer be downloaded without paying. Why does the upgrade remove your apps anyway? Nokia please help restore the many features that made Anna great 

    kasb58, sorry for being unclear. Please look at attached screenshots (in swedish)
    N8-00, P/C 059C852, FW 111.030.0609 (Belle), Telia SE, Win7 x64

  • C6-00 firmware upgrade

    A site named ___ is claiming that it has got an symbian^3 upgrade for C6-00. What should I do? Is it true?
    MODERATOR'S NOTE:
    This post has been edited and the link was removed as it proceeds to void Nokia software and warranty.
    KUNAL SWAMI

    Nokia has not said when or if it will release further updates for the C6-00
    It's highly unlikely to get a new UI, that is only likely to be for symbian^3 devices like the N8, C7, C6-01 & E7.
    All you can do is wait and see what happens. If you want a comment directly from nokia you should use this link:

    Hi there, i have problems installing Java Applications (from Ovi and from another source). The Apps from stores quit with just "there was a error", the other App is more detailed:

  • Ovi suite doesn't provide "reinstall" option, Symb...

    Hi guys
    I am having certain issues with my Nokia N8 device, which was once bricked and the motherboard was changed by the service center. The product type is RM-596 and the product code is 059B288. Though I managed to install Symbian Anna without any troubles as soon as the update was made available, wondering with one particular annoyance!
    I cannot see the "reinstall" option for my device after an update check using OVI Suite, when both my E7, E72 devices provide me the "reinstall" option. Could be this because of the Product Code? If yes, then how I could do a fresh firmware update on my N8?
    Regards,

    @n80kwt
    Not clear from your post whether Symbian Anna upgrade was via FOTA or Ovi Suite, as you usually need to have installed an update via this method (Ovi Suite) previously for the re-install existing software option to be revealed.

  • Bluetooth disabling when phone has connected to No...

    Has anyone else had issues whereby when their C7 has connected to Ovi Suite the Bluetooth stops responding. The solution for this is to go in to the Bluetooth menu, disable the BT and re-enable it to restart it working again. Not sure if this is a hardware or software related issue but has persisted since I've had the phone through various firmware revisions (including the Symbian Anna upgrade).
    Also, another issue since the Anna upgrade, also Bluetooth related, is that the phone and in particular it's contact book appears to freeze when the phone is connected to a Bluetooth headset or handsfree car kit, in fact any Bluetooth peripheral. This happens for about a minute during which time it becomes non-responsive. Anyone else had this issue or experience of it on the C7 or N8?? Trying to work out if this is an issue exclusive to the C7 or N8 too?

    If the phone is paired the sounds usually routes through the car speakers. Is the car speaker volume turned down?

  • E7-00 does not sync calendar with MfE

    After Symbian Anna upgrade my E7-00 does not sync calendar at all with MfE.
    Where was a problem while upgrading to symbian anna: I first tried to do it over the air, but the phone hung up while downloading part 2/2, so I ended up to do this by OviSuite. After that I sometimes get a "Järjestelmävirhe" (System Error?) alert when powering on the machine (after giving pin code).
    I've tried to delete and reinstall Symbian Anna few times and removed the MfE settings but no hope. It seems to me that somehow the MfE-client (comes with symbian anna or firmware?) is still version 1.00.00 and with my collegues phone it says the version is (should be?) 3.00.000.
    The collegues log (everything is working):
    05/10/2011 12:00:32 Mail for Exchange Build : 3.00.000
    05/10/2011 12:00:32 Device Software Version: 014.002
    My log:
    05/10/2011 12:05:31 Mail for Exchange Build : 1.00.000
    05/10/2011 12:05:31 Device Software Version: 022.014
    Is this the problem? How can I upgrade only the MfE for E7-00. Ovi Store does not support MfE download for E7.

    After much fiddling with my Calendar I have resolved the problem:
    1. I exported all the calendars individually and saved them on your desktop
    2. Using an iOS device delete all the calendars on your iCloud account (you should be able to use iCloud.com in the same way)
    3. Now that your iCloud calendar is empty, import the calendars from your desktop one by one waiting for them to fully sync before doing the next one.
    4. Done!
    *I discoverd that one of my calendars was corrupted and would not install, perhaps this was the problem? However I believe that it was because my calendars had too much content (multiple repeating events and sporting event subscriptions). I got rid of the sports ones (huge) it was very slow to upload, and I decided to slim that calendar down as it's not very important.
    I personally think it's a calendar event overload problem, too much content for iCloud to handle. It would make sence because I had no problems with any other part of iCloud (reminders/notes...) and my iPhone calendar was fine (because it does not upload any old events, ie dramatically less content)  I hope this helps!

  • Nokia C6-01 cant upgrade to Symbian Belle from Sym...

    Pls advise me how to solve this problem cause i cant upgrade my C6-01 to Symbian Belle using Nokia Suite 3.3.89.

    First check whether Nokia belle is available for your phone's product come and region. Check belle availability page of Nokia Europe's website. If its available, try updating with the latest Nokia suite. Check whether your antivirus is blocking connection to your Nokia suite. Refresh repeatedly for the update to appear. Try advancing the date a few days or weeks and check again. If nothing works, take your phone to Nokia care and they'll update it for you. All the best.

  • New N8 with Symbian ^3; should I upgrade?

    I just bought a barely-used N8 with Symbian ^3. It seems to be a nice phone, with only about 4 hours' use shown on the "life-timer" function. One of the things I have read about Nokia Belle is that there is no way to show several lines of the calendar on the home screen (unlike my N79 running s60v3, which I have configured to show up to 6 lines). Should I do any sort of upgrade (to Anna, if it's possible?), or Belle, or just leave it?  Thanks.
