Symbian ^ 3

Just watched a video of the soon to be released Symbian ^3 now I feel depressed just looking at my N97 and the rumours that it will not be compatible makes it even worse, am phoning my doc I need prozac lol
Hit Kudos if I Helped out.
Nokia 3310-> 8810->N95->N95 8Gb->
Nokia N97 Black v21.0.045 RM-505 Code-0585162 (handset No 3)

Well, We all know that this ain't a big secret. For example : Dell does it to their computers. When they are releasing new model they fill testversions up with expensive ram, faster cpu and faster harddrive than the end user model will ever have.
When the n97 was released I remeber I saw a video with a N97 where widgets, music, camera, gps worked so smooth (wonder what fw version that could have been?), and my n97 just wont stay on long enough for writing a mail
Sorry for the moaning.

**bleep** Im now Ropeable. SYMBIAN ANNA TELSTRA AU...

ok guys at nokia whats going on i have just found this on the telstra web page
''Nokia have cancelled the PR 2.0 Telstra update due to instability with emergency calling. This is resolved in the PR2.01 update. Nokia are now unable to provide an ETA for submission to Telstra."
will we ever get the damn update.. this is just not on guys

Guys this is the same info that went around last week. At the same time Vodaphone are saying they are testing it right now and will let us know soon. here is there link http://blog.vodafone.com.au/blog/nokia-symbian-anna-software-update/
although many would have seen this. If you check the dates on both the vodaphone and the telstra sites you will see they are the same day. Which i think is strange. Vodaphone are saying they are testing, telstra saying they arnt due to nokia issue. who know s what is really going on.
At least it gives us hope. Dont give up yet, we will get it.

I don't understand why Symbian has been killed off...

I recently posted my impressions of the 808 http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=374416 and it has it's problems which means I will not be keeping the phone for very long. However if Nokia continued with Symbian which has far more potential than Windows Phone I'd have been happy with it and would have stuck with the phone knowing there will be more updates.
Now I've never used Symbian before, unless the 3310 run it, though that was a vastly different experience that you cannot compare. I decided just to give it a chance as the 808 was mega cheap on ebay and I thought what the hell, my upgrade comes in April and I can sell it then if I don't like it. I broke my phone so I needed to buy a new one and it's a bit of fun trying something other than Android or IOS for once.
I have to say now I'm not a fan of Windows Phone and IOS being closed systems, I think you can remain open like Android while offering a great selection of apps on the store. Developers really need to get over piracy, especially platform owners and the makers of Operating Systems. I feel like there is this trend to go towards a closed OS as an easy way to combat that, rather than offering a great open experience but having a service worth paying for over piracy. For example Steam has really defeated Piracy on the PC, people still do it, they always will and it isn't always a bad thing anyways. A lot of the time people will torrent stuff and then later buy it on Steam when they know it is a product they like. If that person goes on to tell other people about it then it creates more sales.
From what I've read Symbian has this bad image of piracy but I really think that is due to a lackluster service on Nokia's end more than anything. The store needs a lot of work, while it is functioning, it does need a bit of a UI tweak which obviously wont be happening. I also feel like you have to get your apps elsewhere to test them first as there is no protection from Nokia like you get with Android where you can get a refund within a certain time in case the app doesn't work. I've bought a few apps now which just plain don't work and it has put me off buying anything else.
Back to the topic though, I've never used Symbian before or had a Nokia since the 3310 and I'm really surprised at how good it is. I said in that thread it feels like a mix between IOS and Android and it even has good functionality of it's own. Belle FP2 is either a massive step up far too late or Symbian has gotten a lot of hate for no reason, I don't know as It's the only version I've used. The core functionality is good, it is fast, it doesn't drain much battery and it does everything the other platforms do. Yeah it looks a bit drab but it's so easy to just change the theme unlike IOS and while you can do it on Android it isn't anywhere near as easy as Symbian. I really Respect Nokia for a lot of things with Symbian and while I said the store needs work, it does function. I feel like it probably lacks a lot of options like more categories due to the lack of apps on it.
I've only really got two problems with Symbian and that is the stock browser is bad, which wouldn't be a problem if Nokia was continuing development of Symbian because they could easily fix it in the future. I have switched to Opera which fixes most of those issues, though I do wish Symbian supported Flash 11 because of my next point. The second issue is lack of apps, really this is what has lead me to selling the phone come my upgrade in April. You cannot do much on the phone compared to the others because of the lack of apps, if there was Flash 11 it would be less of an issue, however not being able to watch stuff like ITV Player or TVcatchup is a big downer. The lack of games is also another depressing thing and really the lack of development on Symbian is depressing.
From what I've seen of Belle FP2, Symbian is a great starting point for Nokia's Smart Phone future, sadly it looks like it has come too late and they've always ditched it for Windows Phone, which I think is a shame. The other biggest issue Nokia had is they never really made good hardware compared to the rest in the past. They've just started making competitive Smart Phone hardware just as they killed off Symbian. If the Lumia 920 came in 2010 for example I feel like more people would have taken notice of Symbian, sadly it came to Windows Phone and not Symbian. Sadly like I said it looks like it took too long for Symbian to get good... though I'm only guessing on that as I've never used it before Belle FP2.
I do like it though and really wish'd Nokia stuck with it.

See I don't think Symbian is the problem, Belle is really nice and what Nokia have done is make it function like IOS and Android. I've used both in the past, I left IOS because I found it too restrictive and used Android ever since. Making the jump to Symbian Belle, it's pretty much the same experience but with no apps, though the core Belle experience feels more refined than Android. It probably just came too late for Nokia....
I also think Nokia hasn't made a Smart Phone to get excited for until the 920. Everything else they made was sub par, poor specs, poor screen and just very clunky and I'm guessing from reviews, Symbian wasn't good before Belle. Like I said though if they released the 920 last year on Symbian Belle instead of Windows Phone 8, I think Symbian could have survived. Really all Belle needed was the hardware and it just never got it, the 808 is great for a camera but the hardware isn't mainstream like the 920 is.
I just find it weird how Nokia handled the whole situation, it took years for them to get going and once they did they retired Symbian and never released it on a relevant Smart Phone to give it a chance.
The 808 has opened my eyes to Nokia Hardware though, it is good and well made. I'll wait to see if they release a refreshed 808 with better specs and screen this year before I upgrade as I've just seen rumours about it. I'm just not convinced about Microsoft making good on Windows Phone, I don't like the experience it currently offers and Microsoft have never delivered on anything worth while in the past apart from Windows 7. If I look at all their software, I don't remember any of it being good and now with Windows Phone being a closed experience, you're stuck with Microsoft's software.
I just think it is a shame, I really like Belle, it just needs apps and Nokia to revive development for it.

Why is it so hard to migrate to Symbian?

I decided to switch from my Sony Ericson/UIQ phone to an N8 and quite honestly I have transferred most of the 500 contacts tediously over single bluetooth to messages at a time.
Before you tell me about OVI suite etc, many people may not have a PC, or may not get to install the Nokia Suite, or simply are scared or more bloating of their PC's.You should make handset to handset data portability.
I pulled out an old 6630 I had with a full address book, youre datastorer.sis file you send over does not work in older phones. UIQ rejects it (application is invalid) and so do the 2nd getn Symbian phones....
The issue is that you still don't support multi vcf support multiple VCF business cards as single messages instead of just reading the first card and stopping.
Why is it so hard? You guys at Nokia should know that people just give up, if they don't get to personalize their phone and get their data on, they just return it and go for another phone. So serious effort needs to go into this.
In comparision I got I got the (SE) VCF frile from the N8 and emailed it to myself picked up the email with my iPod/Iphone/iPad and in under a minute I had the 500 contacts in Apple devices.
Maybe instead o trying to invent augmentned reality gizmos you can focus on getting core functionality right. Maybe people will be able to switch to Symbian. If it is impossible to switch to Symbian no one will.... why not make a iPhone App for people to dump their data in a way it can be pulled into a Symbian phone.... Lots of people are sick of their iPhone and the battery shenigans.....
Make symbian an Option you can choose....

Yes but that depends you putting your data on some US based juggernaut or 3rd party that probably you may not trust with your personal data. I personally don't.
This is essential functionality that is necesary for customers to adopt Nokia products and Nokia should not be letting 3rd parties whether or how easy it is to migrate to their devices.

I can't delete symbian apps in nokia n93i

I can't delete symbian apps. I want to know how to delete the symbian apps. Please help me.

See if anything here helps.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Error in using jsr-82 in symbian java

Dear all,
I am recently writing java application which require using bluetooth api
(JSR-82). During the compilation, the program works fine. Unfortunately,
when I try to run it with the emulator, error does come up. I have tried
different classpath setting already. But the problem still can't be solved.
Following is the details:
epocdrive_j=C:\Symbian\UIQ_21\epoc32\Java\
epocdrive_t=C:\Symbian\UIQ_21\erj

error : "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

This program I am doing is the PrintClient example in JSR82-spec_1.0a.pdf
can anyone spot any error in my work??
thank you very much!

I could be totally wrong here, but i believe the error given means that "DiscoveryListener.class" can not be found in the classpath given, including as part of the jar files listed in the class path.
Can you check for that filename on your system and tell us where it is if found?

Symbian Anna update 1/2 failed to install

The story so far. I did the first round Anna update (around 27 mb i think) OTA cos my Ovi Suite never able to update firmware on my n8 since trying to update it to PR 1.2, and I did try reinstalling, redownload, reboot PC, reg clean, ccleaner to fix the Suite but it still do not update my firmware at all. But that's another story.
So I installed the 1st round, n8 rebooted to white screen, rebooted into homesceen with Midnight theme. SW update then shows 4 more items: Anna update 1/2, 2/2, Store and Social. The 1/2 was showing around 20++ mb. So I selected all 4 and update. Halfway through the installing process of 1/2 update (note the download part of 1/2 was very fast), I did plug in the power pin, cos the installation process was damn slow for 1/2. I did not notice wheher it finised installing cos later i checked it was already on 2/2 (downloaded and installing). It then went to the last two items and installed ok.
Rebooted device, but SW update still showed Anna update 1/2 available (the only one left) and the download size is now 7166 kb. I proceed to update it, it failes with error but no error codes or any message what was the error about. I tried again and again, with fresh reboots, still failes. What gives?
Even more, split screen not here. I did the uninstalling Swype, activating qwerty mode in portrait, still no split screen. I do not have any Betalabs apps.
My Quickoffice & Reader is not here anymore (the app manager not showing them too). Heck I bought the full ver of Quickoffice 6 last time. Wat a waste of my money now that ver 7 is out!!
Anyone knows how to delete the "dowloaded cache" of SW updates? I want to force SW update to redownload this 1/2 item to try fix this issue.
Thanks for listening and please help. Cheers!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I got the same problem since this morning on both my N8 & just found out solution on a previous update error similar to this & completed the update on one of the N8. Re-trying on another one.
Working Solution for failed update was found on Flashism's website quoted & "touched up" per below:
Big thanks to user “Unick” on Nokia Support Forums, who posted a working solution to the problem, and there are couple of successful installs reported from the solution.
I just deleted folder E:\Private\20019119\. After that I ran SW update on the phone & it restarted download of Symbian Anna Update 1/2 & 2/2 as well as Social, they finished updates successfully.
To delete the mentioned folder, follow these simple steps:
• Connect your Nokia N8/C7 in Mass Storage mode to PC via USB cable
• Locate and delete folder named “20019119″ under \Private folder of Mass Storage
• Unplug the device from PC, and retry again. It should work.
However, I still got no popup split keyboard after completing the updates & restarted the phone.

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

Can't find Flash Player on Symbian OS

In RUSSIAN:
Ребят,прошу, может кто знает, есть ли такая программка (на сайте не нашёл) на подобе адоб флэш-плеера 10й версии только для смарта Nokia N82, чтобы можно было, например с того же аппарата выходить в vkontakte.ru, просматривать там видео, слушать оставленные на страничке песни и играть в новую поп флэш-игру ""Фермер"". Или мож кто может сделать?
Заранее благодарен.
Прога может быть популярна тем, кто постоянно сидит в контакте. И не всегда рядом есть комп, а так хочется проверить ""фермера"" все ли овощи на месте.. или посмотреть клипчик, послушать песенку со своей странички.
Реализацию моей идеи захочет себе каждый десятый юзер смарта(по самым скромным подсчётам), это очень удобно и интересно!
Please, make it (Adobe Flash Player 10.0.22.87)for Symbian OS. You can! I know it. I trust in you!
On English:
Peoples, I ask, who can knows, whether is such programm (on a site has not found) on like Adobe Flash Player 10.0.22.87 versions only for smart Nokia N82 that it was possible, for example from the same device to leave in vkontakte.ru, to look through there video, to listen to the songs left on a page and to play flash-game new the priest "the Farmer". Or may who can make it?
Thankful in advance.
The program can be popular that who constantly sits in contact. And not always a number is a computer, whether and so it would be desirable to check up " " the farmer " " all vegetables on a place.. Or to look video, to listen song from the page.
Realization of my idea each tenth user of a smart (according to the most conservative estimates), it very conveniently and interestingly will want to itself!
Please, make it (Adobe Flash Player 10.0.22.87)for Symbian OS. You can! I know it. I trust in you!

Those error messages sound very unique. And you did a clean reinstall of OS X? Makes no sense..
Here's what I think you should do..
1. Open a web support case at http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer (there is no phone support for Flash Player, webcase only)
2. Take screen shots (using the Grab utility) of each error message
3. Submit those screen shots as attachments to your web case
4. Post the case number to this thread
5. Post the screen grabs as attachments to this thread
I'll try to check up on it. You will probably get the usual tier 1 support email. Just insist on being escalated, and make sure they don't close the case.

I want to swich from Symbian E7 to Lumia 800, but ...

3. Calendar notes are repeated from 10 to 10 minutes, like Symbian?
4. You can change the calendar and alarm tones?
5. There is no limit to store SMS, like Belle?
6. It has aplication like a converter?
7. There are profiles?
8. In average use, 2G, low backlight, only in phone mode, some sms and some calls, how long is lasting the battery?
9. You can install Opera?
10. There is an application to read divix movies?
11. There is a recorder?
12. There is a way to put a password directly from the main screen, to protect the data inside the phone?
13. What is the combination of buttons to reboot in case of blocking software?
14. There is a combination of buttons that are hard-reset, like Symbian?
15. I want a stabile software, how stabile is WP7 now?
16. The default phones have buttons to change the song in the move - with your phone in the poket?
17. There are problems with micro-usb port? Quality, that is - you know, the E7 is the champion of this little detail - all E7 are broken.
18. It has a default pdf viewer?
19. LEDs can be used as a flashlight?
20. If you are writing a message and while you write, you take a brake, then the phone enters in standby. After you unlok the screen, it returns to sms application?
21. You can add multiple notes for each contact? On Symbian i have 5-8 in every contact.
22. Contact transfer function works with any Nokia that has this application? Ex. E90 or E61?
23. What is the default security code?
24. Can be up to date software of the phone and Maps directly from your phone - no PC connection?
25. There are LED notification of missed events?
26. There is everywere in the pfone the banal function copy-paste?
27. It can backup contacts to another Nokia phone? I want to backup contacts on my old Nokia - not in PC, or Zune.
Thank you so much and excuse me for my poor english.

hi mate,
your english is just fine . To answer question 16, no you cannot change it in the pocket, you actually have to bring the phone out and wake the device screen up to do it. the 800 doesn't have any buttons where you can skip to next/previous track, like some of the older music-centric Symbian devices had. change tracks easily from the drop-down bar that comes from top of screen when you press any of the volume buttons - YES.
10. can't remember but Windows PHone 8 does play DiVX movies natively, the codec support in WP 7.5 is lesser, but you can easily convert it via Zune software.
sorry but can't remember other answers as i am only super-familiar with WP8 and not WP 7.5, but i'm sure that as with many answers on the list of questions you have, its shaping up to be a go-go with a great phone

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.
Srikanth.

@ 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.

Adobe Photoshop for Symbian Belle phones

Why an adobe photoshop aplication wasn't released for symbian belle devices especially for N8, 808 pureview.
These are the two best camera phones ever released.
Adobe photoshop app is available for windows phones & andriod phones...then why not for symbian phones???

Nokia has already abandoned Symbian long time ago in favour of Windows Phone.

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?

Widgets on Symbian Belle (Nokia N8-00 from Argenti...

With the arrival of the update to Symbian Belle I realized that Nokia forgot to place multiple widgets that were present in the leaked versions of Belle months ago. Some of them are in the following images.
Widget mini music player: Belle has a music player widget that takes up half a desk but this new widget only takes two lines and let you see the same details as above including the cover, the operating buttons and details of the song.
Large Calendar Widget: A Widget in the new format of larger sizes that lets you see the summary of all your scheduled events for the coming days.
Weather Widget: This Widget brings two versions in the form of a small square that has the current climate and a landscape that has the largest weather forecast to 2 days, both are perfectly integrated with climate functionality Belle Suite Nokia Maps.
Data Switch: Enable or disable the data plan with a twist.
Cell Switch: Disconnect from the cellular network.
Mute Switch: Activate or deactivate the Silent mode with a twist.
Widget Use Data: Shows the consumption of MB of your data plan.
RSS Feed Widget: You can display any webpage updates with Feed on your desktop.
Mechanical Clock: An excellent Analog clock with large mechanical parts.
Visual favorites: You can add a link to any web page on your desktop where also see a screenshot as a thumbnail of this site.
I'm from Argentina, and I have 111.030.0609 version!
