Symbian Anna missing split screen keyboard / no sp...

Dear Nokia,
It's very good news to have symbian anna in my phone, nokia n8. IT's very well build.
However, in my country product code, Malaysia, I dont have split screen keyboard appear in every section that should appear in firmware. I have clean all my phone state in zero apps and i flash my n8 with symbian anna together with 1gb memory card content which means i have fresh , pure symbian anna without any system disturbances.
I update all symbian anna packages in software update, but split screen doesnt appear in most of my country variant.
Returning back to old PR 1.2, what we had was no smart dialler to easy contact calling. Then in symbian anna again, we still missing split screen keyboard which had been promised to be in symbian anna.
I have waited this feature for almost 8 months, but misssing this split screen is kind of dissappointment to us.
I need full explaination how exactly this missing feature happen, I wrote this not for myself, but for whole people who still miss split screen keyboard. I have fresh symbian anna, 0 apps installed, empty memory card, resulting no software conflicts.
THANKS YOU for Symbian Anna and we still waiting for this missing feature.

There is no split screen text input on any firmware that has Chinese. So Malaysian, Singapore, China and Indonesian phones all do not support split screen. Futhermore, the pinyin input does not support portriate qwerty.
If you install a firmware version which does not support Chinese, you get split screen activated. I have tested both Thailand and Indian versions, both working with split screen.
Also, the 2 software updates that come after your have installed Anna will not add portrait qwerty.
Furthermore - this issue has NOTHING to do with swype. Please ignore any message your read which mentions swype.
I'm from Malaysia, didn't get it either.
This is very upsetting! Ten months of waiting, this is what Nokia has given us? This silly reason behind not including split-keyboard in our FW variant is not even a reason at all!
It's an obviously missing feature, and they seem to have not mentioned of this in any of their marketing videos or pages. Should have at least put a disclaimer saying it's not available for us. *Misrepresentation*

Split screen keyboard in Conversations app

Reposting some information I found on the net, I've tried it and it works.
For those with splitscreen qwerty keyboard in messaging, etc, but not in conversations after applying the Symbian Anna update, there's a solution:
Open application manager and uninstall conversation appl and conversation server. Then you get splitscreen qwerty in conversations!
Thanks to the person who originally discovered this.

I can happily confirm: uninstalling those two apps and a reboot finally activated split screen for my German Anna installation! And also I confirm that before I had the old dialog symbol from PR 1.0 while after uninstalling and rebooting I now have a new Anna symbol for dialogs.
BUT: Swype is obviously NOT supporting split screen at the moment! While it does support portrait QWERTY there is no split screen even after the uninstallation procedure. It is not necessary to uninstall swype, deactivating it suffices.
Read here: LINK
Swype seems to confirm this behaviour. There might be an updated version of swype.
So we have to distinguish different problems. It seems officially confirmed that APAC installations of Anna with Chinese character support do not support split screen at all (but may do in the future).
For other versions of Anna the problem can be solved by uninstalling those two apps mentioned above.
At last - Swype does not support split screen at the current moment. Hopefully they fix this soon (I NEED Swype, it's just the best type of input).

HT1349 My wife's I pad #1 suddenly as a split screen for the keyboard. Weird. Out of the blue. Ideas???

Help. Why des a split screen keyboard come up all ofa sudden

Pull the two ends of the keyboard together with your fingers - toward the middle of the screen. Or ... Tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
You can turn the feature off ....

Split Screen updates

I have read on the boards that the split screen portrait keyboard does not support asian language phones.
1) When is this likely to be updated? Belle or earlier?
2) Is it possible to re-install Anna on my phone (from Hong Kong) so that it is English only? Thereby getting the split screen support.
3) Is it possible to re-install the Symbian software on my E7 to english language only (thereby getting the split screen keyboard) and then update with Chinese language support?
Have to add that I am disappointed that this is not an automatic update for all phones regardless of language support.

Mine does that every so often as well, and I haven't been able to find one instance of this topic where anyone has contributed anything useful.
Sometimes shutting down and leaving it alone for a while will clear out the problem. Other times when I'll open the Powerbook to as far as the hinge will let me and book up, it will return to its usual resolution, so I suspect it's some kind of hardware bug, or some kind of slippery connection.
Other that these small observances, I'm as clueless as you.

Windows 8 Tablet / Touchscreen - On Screen Keyboard shortcut missing on Desktop

Hi
On a windows 7 tablet, on the desktop, if I clicked a field (e.g. in Windows Explorer) a small keyboard icon appears with a shortcut to the on-screen-keyboard (OSK).
On windows 8, this no longer appears. Instead you have to click the field, then select the OSK from the taskbar, and then click back in the field before typing.
Technical Stuff:
So far we've found that in Windows 8 there is no 'Options' window for the Input Keyboard in the Taskbar. In Windows 7 there WAS an 'Options' window which included the setting "For tablet pen input, show the icon next to the text box". This setting controlled
the shortcut icon that appears when you click in a field, and changes the following setting in the registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\1.7\ShowIPTipTarget. This setting does not appear in the registry on a Windows 8 machine and adding it in makes no
difference.
Rant:
Within 5 minutes of issuing a new Windows 8 tablet this problem was noticed by the end user, rendering the device almost useless if you want to work at any pace - and it was promptly handed back. Very frustrating and annoying as this feature appears
to have been removed. With Windows 8 pitched directly at the tablet market, surely this setting is in there somewhere - I can't think of any reason why it would be removed.
Any help much appreciated,
Andrew

I fully agree with ssxIdent and all other posters who find the new touch keyboard rather dumb.
There is no point in explaining why MS has decided to do things this or that way and what philosophic reasons they can come up with. MS needs to understand that software has to be accepted by the users and should not irritate them.
But this is irritating.
I thought one of the main concerns of MS was to be as intuitive as possible and provide a most satisfying user experiance - this is definetly not.
Has anyone at MS ever tried to e. g. rename several files in a directory with the touch keyboard? Especially when you get to the bottom of the screen. Then you not only need to have show/hide the keyboard permanently, you even have to bother moving it or
resize the window. That is NO GOOD USER EXPERIANCE!
I'd find it intuitive, if there was a way for developers in WPF or in Windows Forms to tag any UI element if it
Needs a keyboard (making the touch keyboard appear automatically) or
Would like a keyboard (showing a symbol next to the box, just like the X in WindowsStoreApps.TextBox, to trigger the keyboard or make it pop up automatically, if the keyboard had an option that can be set by the user to respond to these UI elements) or
Can have a keyboard (behaviour as is now)
Once an application was built this way, users would intuitively be able to navigate through their beloved apps haveing the keyboard at hand when they will need it anyway, being able to access it just with a twitch of the hand if they want it and not being
annoyed by it when they normally would not need it AND not being annoyed by permanently having to show/hide/show/hide that dratted thing by making miles of hand movement for nothing.
For applications that are not tailormade this way some options to adjust the keyboard behaviour would help, too. Just provide an option to hook the keyboard to any focus change, and give users a selection of options to what major control types the keyboard
should respond. For geeks you could even provide white list where they can add the GUIDs for classes the keyboard should show up automatically, a black list where the keyboard has to disappear and a gray list where the keyboard comes up on enter and disappears
on leave.
Some other thing I'm not happy with:
I know Modern UI came somehow via Windows Phone 7, but our tablets, touch enabled laptops, ... are no telephones, so why has the touch keyboard numpad have the "1" at the top left corner and not at the bottom left like every other hardware keyboard
or even the MS Windows OSK???????? In this point I contradict the explanation in the otherwise quite interesting article about the
Design Concept because typing in numbers has more often to do with maths than with telephoning or switching TV channels. And calculators have the 1,2,3 in the bottom row, as have HW keyboards. The other misconception lies therin that you don't need to find
1,2,3 quicker with your eyes when you are typing lots of numbers e. g. into spreadsheets. The fingers of HW keyboard, calculator or cash register users are so used to the conventional position of the digits that won't be easy to reshape. Additionally when
typing in quantities of numbers right handed users (90% of world population) will have the hand rest on the keyboard, the thumb on 0 and index finger, middle finger, ring finger doing their respective columns low value low down, high value high up. Who
is dialing phone numbers or changing TV channels this way? But what will users do more often with the numpad - especially when dealing with loads of input data?
Why can we not at least have digits on the alpha keyboard like on Android with long press on "Q"="1" ... "P"="0"? Password policy sometimes forces you to add digits in a PW, calling for switch alpha/num/alpha/num which
is annoying, too! Even with the peek thingy, since you need two hands.
Why is there no indication what special characters are hidden behind a long press? It's possible when you press Ctrl, despite most people already knowing what Ctrl+C means. e. g. where is the paragraph sign "§"on the touch keyboard? Or have
you left it out, so lawyers can't sue you for developing this touch keyboard ;-) You have added a set of emojos, but forgotten to put a character on that is on virtually any other keyboard??? Rather give us a layer user/developers could fill with their own
set of special characters and swap the Ctrl hints for a special character preview.
When I have my keyboard docked I can split the alpha key gaining access to the ODD numpad in the middle, but why can I not have the numpad when the alpha stays unsplit in the middle having a big black block to its left and right - there was space, why have
you not used it properly??? Nevermind feeling crowded, as mentioned in the article, give us an checkbox in keyboard options than we can decide if we want it or not. Since the article argues that users tend to get comfortable with the keyboard after a while
and needn't look at it, this "over crowded" feeling would fade away just the same. Or you might even dim it a bit when there is no finger near it.
Where are the Fn keys? Give us an option - we'll decide if we want it e. g. on the left side of the alpha block. Just as with numpad this could be dimmed, too.
I'd have a lot more suggestions to throw into this, but I fear you'll not even pick up on the easiest or most fundamental ones.
Prove me wrong! Please do! I dare you!!!

Missing features in Symbian Anna (Is it only me? o...

I installed the Symbian Anna Update which was released yesterday (18th August 2011) and got trough the update process despite the difficulties the Software Updater in my phone caused. After the update I noticed some features are missing:
(Not Adobe reader or Quickoffice, they were available after the update.)
1. The animated pop-up notification that I got when I connected to the internet is missing in Symbian anna. (It's really annoying because I can't actually see what access point my phone is using unless I look harder.)
2. The Games folder is missing (The Icon with the game controller on it)
3. No wallpaper in the Default "Midnight" Themes.
4. Homescreen Rotation is a bit jumpy. (The operators name doesn't appear with the rotation animation. It jumps in)
If anyone encountered any of these problems, please let me know. If you have a solution I'd really appreciate it. Or if these things are normal. Well I'll wait for a future software update from Nokia.
I have a Nokia C7-00, I tried reinstalling the Software update and Soft-Resetting but non of it worked. Just so you know.
Thanks,
Lasiru.

Hi,
Seems that you have downloaded an old version of OWB. The new version is 9.2, not 9.0.2 and it is as far as I know only available as a standalone download.
The version of Developer Suite currently on OTN is more than a year old.

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!!

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.

No split screen option for Nokia C7 Malaysian Product even after complete and successful updates of all Symbian Anna files.
Mods, any updates or advice?

Great,...it will make chatting flow much smoother. Will I see the split window chats with the "My Conversations" app that came on my N8? Also,...I use Swype for my keyboard,..not for the swiping feature but for the larger keys that fit my big thumbs better. I noticed something about Swype in this thread. Does Swype cause any conflicts for the new split window chats. Thanks again for the assist !

E7 Symbian Anna music player vs N8 PR1.2 music pla...

Does anyone here happen to have both the E7 (with Symbian Anna), as well as an N8 9with PR1.2)?
If so, can you do a comparison of the Anna music player compared to the poor default player of the N8?
Are there any noticeable UI differences at all, or have Nokia plainly just neglected the music player entirely with the Anna update? Are we destined to continue using such a broken piece of music software until further updates? Have Nokia ignored all feedback relating to the N8's music player, and failed to rectify the problems which plague it currently?
I think many people will agree that the music player on older Nokia handsets is far superior than that of the N8, so I am wondering whether they have listened to complaints and fixed the problems which were reported (Ie, a major gripe was having the Artists and Albums combined)
Any heads-up of what to expect with our N8 Anna update would be very useful!

Well for starters, how are songs organised on the E7? Are artists and albums still grouped together, or have Nokia split them up as they should be?
One of the main problems of the N8 music player is that multiple artists who share an album name (Ie, "Greatest Hits") seem to get grouped together under just one album title. Is this still true on the E7?
Also, how are compilation albums displayed? This has also been an issue on the N8, mainly because artists and albums have been grouped together, rather than separately as per older Nokia devices such as the N91, N82, N95, and N96
Does Anna on the E7 feature a graphical equaliser? This was something else which was missing from the N8, but present on previous handsets.
Have Nokia added an alphabetical search field for the music player, as promised? With split-screen QWERTY text entry, there is now no reason why this should not have been added
Little things like these. How does the E7 Anna software compare to the N8 PR1.2 software? Or have Nokia just blatantly ignored the music player entirely?

No split screen in CONVERSATIONS

So I had Swype installed on my N8 and did an OTA update to Anna. And yes after the initial install I installed the 4 other packages (Nokia Anna 1/2, 2/2, Ovi Store & Social).
I found that I didnt get a split screen anywhere. On Googling I found that split screen only works with Swype disabled. So I uninstalled Swype.
Now I'm getting split screen in the search widget, browser, phonebook etc... but not in CONVERSATIONS (messaging app).
Any ideas on how I can fix that? I'm using the FW for India (English).
Thanks.

Symbian Anna...Deja Vu

I KNOW everyone is **bleep**, I KNOW everyone is disppointed, frustrated, angry....gosh the words does not cover the emotions involved...
I have gone through all the emotions...first the excitement when the news came out 'new update coming soon!'...then disappointment, followed by anger and now...a lil' bit i-don't-give-a-fruitcake' lol...
People, please realise, Nokia is a business...they make phones and they need to sell phones. They said they still have 10 phones to come out between now and approximately end of next year (2012). So you have to understand, they need to have a tactic in place, to get people to keep buying their phones. Otherwise, Nokia would go bankrupt and that's a no no (business 101). So their tactic is to delay software updates, bring in 'new phones' with the new updates in place, so that this will entice new buyers. They're then told 'oh there's a new update, coming soon'. They don't care about the old customers...they've got your money already...they're not entitled to give you 'free stuff'. (they missed the memo, coz loyal fans are GOLD).
Suppose if Nokia had given the anna update at end of q1 as 'planned'. That means all the old and loyal customers would've been super happy (SUPER DUPER HAPPY). BUTTTTT, then the x7 would've been obsolete, EVEN before it had came out!!! There would be no reason for people to buy an x7, especially since it would've been super duper expensive. On the other hand, people would be buying the n8/c7/c6 coz they'd be cheap...AND have the latest software. Now this would've been very silly!!
So relax people. Nokia is stuck in a rut...they can't do anything right, because...the only options they've got are either go bankrupt really early, or...get the people angry. They simply chose the lesser of the two devils, which makes sense. The job of a CEO is to keep the company floating...Now whether this tactic will work or not...well, it got many of you to buy the n8 early to get the update...so it might work again in the future...maybe
Yes there's heaps of problems, yes you've worked hard for your money, YES YOU'RE SUPER DUPER ANGRYYYY...but that won't change the tactic at Nokia. So take it down a notch, go ahead and vent your frustrations and anger (in a sensible way...). IT IS NOKIA'S FAULT, but they gotta do what's right for them...
Hoping you all have the best of days ahead...

Hey Jerspa!!
I think we can agree that symbian is dead. it's not the future. We should've seen it coming, i mean...like you said years and years but that only produced a still unfinished product. I think meego's the future.yes it's not dual core or has a super duper awesome plus and multipled amoled screen. but the clear black display is awesome when comboed with a normal amoled. no complaints there. I doubt a duo core/quad core is that important for a mobile (ok my point of view). The only thing i'd miss is the 1080i vids. but games and other apps...i'm gonna stick with my laptop/computer.
Now i'll wait for a meego with 1080i vid +30fps caf, xenon flash, and usb otg. note, that's MY dream phone...mine, not anyone elses...
oh and a good battery of course
First off: I didnt claim that symbian is dead.
Then why i rant here?
Answer:
My last phone were 3720 classic, it were fine working phone. Everything worked as expected without bugs.
Now when i take the N8 from my pocket which is premium phone and 3x more expensive than 3720 classic, the 2 first months were horrible. Everyday that "insert sim" "phone rebooting" "program crashed" stuff. Then Pr1.1 came, which still didnt provided the support. PR1.2 fixed the problems with email etc. That were only corporate stuff.
So lets talk about those leaked vids about PR2.0:
In february we saw allready working splitscreen qwerty and draggable HS + new browser. <- less than 4 months from the delivery date to market. That was impressive, but it isnt anymore since it takes 6 months to deliver that damn update. Thats unacceptable.
Lets look the PR2.0 press release in Conversations:
http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/04/12/announcing-symbian-anna-aka-pr2/
Now lets pick up the cherries:
Enhanced Browser (v7.3): <- This is new
Enhanced Ovi Maps (v3.06): <- This is allready newer
Enhanced Ovi Store (v2.06.xx) >- Same for here
Enhanced Social (v1.3) <- Same for here
So as you can see, wheres the all time spend? theres nothing new, Nokia is really lettings us like without clothes to middle of antartica with S^3 phones, the support for this is horrible.
Theres no way that any of PR team or Dev team can defend this situation until they let the iron curtains down and show us the one fact: Why it takes so long? What is wrong? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE IT BETTER?
As we seen above, Skyee's team aint working at the social team, nor in maps team nor in ovi store team.
So while i debunked the all "we are working hard" claims, theres really nothing that can explain the delay.
Funny fact is that S40 phones are getting the same functionalities as S^3 so why would anybody buy this over priced N8?
I mean, Compare N8 to C6-01 that phone is 2.5X cheaper than N8. Still the N8 doesnt have ANY extra that would justify the price?. This also the thing why i am very angry.
When Comparing to E7 and N8, E7 is in lower stage in the portfolio pyramid and still its more worth, it has more functionalities than N8, same price.In the S^3 phones, N8 is the loser. Nothing really supports the price.
Also when i bought the N8, i skipped the N95 and N97* because i saw those via friends, i know that those got problems. So i hoped so much that the S^3 would be new symbian, rewritten and a os that have rid off the same old failures that N95 and N97* got in software quality.
Damn it, everything were even worse than those phones, even small basic functionalities are missing here and there. This so half baked product, Even the MP3 player is mising a EQ <- A basic function, been on phones for many years. Even N95 and N97* have that LMAO.
Theres really nothing new in this Anna update, this is why the stocks goes down, this why the sales wont go up. S^3 is the total failure in nokias history, how it can be, that the S^3 phones are in 3rd generation which fails in SOFTWARE QUALITY.

Symbian Anna 29092011.xls ‏174 KB

I've been pretty patient compared to most of the people on this forum/in this thread. Next couple of weeks for the USA, Canada and Australia?! Oh come on!
Waiting and waiting for simple things like a split screen calendar, a portrait qwerty (mainly for touch devices like N8) and being able to add a caption to photos before sharing them to facebook, is getting tiring.
Personally I have kinda given up on the whole Anna thing, it's a mess now, it's not something people like me can just say, oh well, just another couple of weeks...my patience has run out.
Basically I'm done with checking this forum every day for skyee's messages. I'm just going to wait for December/January and simply wait for Symbian Belle. If Anna is needed in order to get Belle, I'll install it for a day then go straight to Belle. I can't spend the next 2 weeks checking to see if Anna has been released yet. It's silly now. August 18th with all that fuss and fanfare. And it'll be around October 15th before we (might) see it in these countries. People will tell me to install the Anna version from the internet, but I'm not doing that. My E7 runs just fine without screwing it up like that.
This is poor, Nokia. Very poor.
Nokias: 232, 3210, 3330, 6230, 6101, 6021, 6126, E75, E73, N900, N8, E6, E7, N9. There's a Samsung in there somewhere too, but...we don't talk about that.

Typing experience in Symbian Anna and its touch in...

Coming from a symbian 9.2 device (more exactly the Nokia N95), I've tested Nokia N8 input system before buying it, and I've got very surprised when I've known symbian ^3 had a keyboard layout that simulates the physical alpha numeric keyboard found in non-QWERTY phones (called "alphanumeric keyboard" in Symbian Anna).For an even greater surprise, the "predictive text" feature is also present, what for me, makes "alphanumeric keyboard" the best and fastest one to type.
Of course QWERTY keyboard is cool, but as I live in Brazil, the keys are smaller (to give room for special characters like ^, ~, `,' and c) if I use Portuguese as the Writing Language.On the other hand, the alphanumeric keyboard.has big keys, that are easily selectable.
Although "porting" the keyboard to a touch screen environment was very well done by Nokia in my opinion, there are a few features that were availiable for physical keyboards, and that aren't found in its touch screen counterpart.Below are the improvements that could also by ported, allowing an even faster typing experience in Symbian ^3 phones, and that would make typing almost perfect: (everything you read below is based on my experience as an user of a Nokia N8 with Symbian Anna, version 025.007)
-Multi-touch support for the key pressing.This is the number one addition, and the one I'd choose if only one of the improvements stated here could be done.Currently, only one key can be pressed at a time when typing, and that really slow things down, specially when you alternate keys using both fingers.Commonly, you find out the desired key didn't have its input processed cause you were already holding another key when the later was pressed.In physical keyboards of phones running (for example) Symbian 9.2, at least two keys can be securely pressed at the same time, and both inputs are processed
-Navigate by word.When Predictive text is active, and you move the cursor to some word, it could be underlined, meaning you could navigate quickly through words, and most importantly, make corrections more easily.Let's imagine you are trying to write the word "congratulations".After typing "congratu", you unwillingly press space, thus going out of the word.If you move the cursor back to it, i doesn't "stick" to the word.Instead, it just navigate through the letters.To complete the word, you'd need to either delete the whole word and rewrite it, or complement it as an independent word (typing with predictive text disabled, for example).If the same behaviour available to physical alphanumeric keyboards were implemented, it would be very easier to correct words, as moving the cursor to some word would cause it to stick to that word, entering immediately into an active prediction of that word.
- # key as "previous" during prediction.When you are typin some word with predictive text active, * key move forward in the matches list, but # key does absolutely nothing.In Nokia N95, for example, pressing it would go to previous word in list.
The following isn't a feature that were available in previous phones, it's just an improvement to the input system that could be implemented:
- Double-click in a word would select it, and a triple-click would select the whole text.It's possible in an other operating system for phones, and that makes it very easy to select text.
Please post your tips and feelings about the typing system in Symbian ^3 (related to touch input system).
Note: This goal of this post is to state some things that counld be improved by Nokia when releasing new updates

Nokia offers free download for Symbian Anna

Symbian Anna – the latest software update for Nokia’s Symbian smartphones – is now available for download in the Philippines.
Symbian Anna significantly enhances the user experience on the Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01 and Nokia E7. A new user interface, virtual QWERTY keypad in portrait mode, split-screen messaging, enhanced Nokia Maps, better web browsing and stronger security are just a few of the improvements that people will be able to enjoy. Symbian Anna can be downloaded using the latest version of Ovi Suite (version 3.1.1) on a PC, or over-the-air directly to your smartphone.

It also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to Symbian, which still headlines the next 10 phones that Nokia will introduce over the next 12 months. Moreover, it signifies our thrust to continuously bring updates to the user experience and support for the software until at least 2016."

Near Field Communications (NFC) availability for Nokia C7: The Symbian Anna software update also activates the NFC hardware in the Nokia C7, so people can now simply tap their Nokia C7s together to share contacts, photos, videos and play games; easily pair with NFC-enabled accessories from Nokia and others; and read NFC tags to check-in and more.

New ovi stor upate help

While using bluetooth wireless on iPad, it stalls and the on screen keyboard comes up.

I just bought my iPad 2 about two weeks ago. Before that I was playing around with my parent's iPad first generation.
For both iPads, I have the same problems while using the same wireless keyboard on both of them.
1. While typing, at random times the wireless keyboard stops responding and the on screen keyboard shows up.
2. While typing, also at random times, the wireless keyboard stops responding and the same alphabet that I last typed in would multiply itself until I either press "command + A" and delete or lock my parent's iPad and iPad 2.
3. While typing, my wireless keyboard stops responding, on screen keyboard shows up, I select my on screen keyboard to hide, continued typing on the wireless keyboard, it stops responding again and my iPad2 restarts in a split second with the black backdrop and apple logo in the middle and goes to lock screen. Then everything is fine.
4. While not typing, on screen keyboard shows up at random times while bluetooth is paired to wireless keyboard and then goes back down, all this while bluetooth icon at the top screen of the iPad2 flashes.
I don't know what is wrong. At first I thought my iPad 2 has a problem but when I remembered the same problems occurred on my parent's iPad first generation, I don't know if it is just my keyboard or the iPad(s) have a problem.
Please help me!

If this is only one specific app, it is a problem with that application's programming.
You can try to reset your iPad by holding down both the Home and Lock buttons for approximately 15 seconds or until the device restarts while ignoring the power slider.
