Symbian Twitter discontinued

Hello there.
I live in Portugal. My only phone is the N8.
Two days ago i received a tweet from Microsoft, saying the Nokia Social Apps (Twitter and Facebook)
will be discontinued in 24 October 2014. Lucly there still is a stand alone Facebook app, but Twitter is gone. I have to load the phone browser to check Twitter. But, twitter wants to send me phone sms to confirm the account login. Twitter says in Portugal my phone carrier is not supported. So i cannot use twitter on my N8. Microsoft is telling me: "Buy another phone if you want to use twitter". Very sad.
Sorry, i know the phone is old, etc, but i had to write this.
Thank you.
Solved!

Did you try to send an SMS to one of these numbers? Ahh. Sounds like you have problems with the Captcha rather than Twitter Login Verification on mobile.twitter.com. No idea what is the cause for this. Therefore, did you consider Gravity or TwimGo already? They are recommended over Nokia Social anyway. If you cannot decide, more details …

  • Why Skype for Symbian been discontinued?

    Please Start Again Skype for Symbians ..

    The reason is quite simple, this is a capitalist economy they had got the money from you, Nokia E7 is five times more in price tag than ordinary Android phone, but they are focusing on Android phones. 
    Irony of the fact is same nokia whom gain the value from same platform, symbian.Now ignoring it and running behind unseen wishes. It is not confirm they can gain the same value again or be lost in the pages of history but kept running...the beauty of this system.

  • Is there any real logical reasoning as to why Apple discontinues something practical like emailinbox limited, ir one swipe to update a twitter or fb account? Ios has no email msg control, and what was once a one swipe action becomes 2 or 3. I just wa

    I Dont understand how one can limit the number of emails, using Ios8. It seems the feature was taken away. i just want to understand why?
    yes, i know, what is the point of asking for reasoning, but it is just so frustrating when improvements or upgrades seem to take away features that were logical and productive.  Why must it be so counter intuitive to upgrade.
    ANother example is, the one swipe to update facebbok. Ok, this is not important stuff we are talking, but, wouldnt a one swipe feature be more productive then gong to open the app etc
    so frustrating.

    You can't limit by number of emails but you can limit by lenght of time. Go to settings> mail, contacts, calendars> accounts> mail> mail days to sync> change the aount of days you wan to sync.
    I don't understand the FaceBook question. I update FaceBook by tapping the update button.

  • How do I get facebook and twitter to show up in the new notifications?

    I am trying to get facebook and twitter to show up in the notifications if I swipe left.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • 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

  • Nokia's Strategy with Symbian, I really don't get ...

    I've tried to let the dust settle a bit since the announcement last week and I've come to the conclusion that I really don't get it.
    Now there have been a lot of conversations on these boards about it and I've tried to read as much as I can as I'm interested in what might happen with my N8.
    But the more I think about it, the more it doesn't make sense!
    Now I should say that I am not one of those who is against the partnership or Nokia and Microsoft, indeed it could be that Nokia's influence on the W7 OS will mean the Nokia devices in the future will be excellent. That remains to be seen.
    My problem is with the Symbian side of things. Here's what I see:
    The statement says that they want to sell 150m more Symbian devices in the next few years.
    So how can they possibly do that without ensuring Symbian can compete with Android, thereby meaning that they have to keep updating it surely? Trying to modernise it.
    But how can they do that whilst supporting WP7 as well? Surely the cost of that is massive.
    The only way I can see this working is if Symbian and WP7 gradually start to come into line, looking the same and doing the same kind of things which means that Symbian will continue to get good updates.
    If there are hundreds of millions of Symbian users out there then strategically it makes no sense to abandon them. Unless you do what I said in my previous statement.
    But if you continue to invest in Symbian, what is the point in moving to WP7?
    Well there may be some point in it, but the timing and scale of the announcement is ludicrous. By all means say "We are going in partnership with MS and in the next few years we will consider a transition to the windows platform". that works because it implies natural progression to a new OS without abandoning the other one.
    So if you continue to invest in Symbian (which i think is the logical approach to keep loyal Nokia users), what happens if it gets good? Starts selling really well?
    You have got yourself a stupid award for acting like a kid who thinks he's made a new friend only to realise his old friend was actually much more reliable and it turns out more popular as well.
    So I've waffled a bit, but what i'm trying to say is that this is a lose/lose situation Nokia find themselves in. they either:
    1) Abandon loyal users, literally millions of them. Lose that business and pretty much might as well give up
    Or
    2) Continue to support Symbian and make it good and competitive, then why the hell is WP7 their only strategy?
    OR, bring the 2 products together so we get used to the UI and functionality gradually so when it comes to getting a new phone, the WP7 OS feels like an old friend. Surely that's it isn't it? Nokia's influence on Windows will actually be greater than the Microsoft influence on Nokia?????? That's the only sensible conclusion I can come to!

  • Error when installing twitter from ICU

    Hi All
    I am having this annoying problem when installing the twitter app from the iPhone Configuration utility which is used by Enterprise.
    This problem also occurred when I tried to install the twitter app onto iPhone 4S.
    Therefore I have the latest iTunes, lates iPhone configuration utility, the latest IOS 6.1 on my iPhone 5 devices and when I try to install the twitter app I get the following error from the ICU:
    The windows is tiitles INSTALL APP
    The error: Could not install application on device. a signed resource has been added, modified, or deleted.
    The only way to install this app is to go in to setting and install it from withing the iPhone 5.
    I am guessing that the twitter app tha I downloaded clashed with the built in one, maybe.
    If there is an update to twitter I cannot install it.
    Come on APpple please fix this!
    Anyone had similar issue?
    Regards
    FSU IT Support

    I would suggest you try and update to the latest Ovi Store, now called Nokia Store.
    With your phone's browser go to the following address:
    http://lr.ovi.mobi/store/new-symbian-3
    you should then get the option to install the latest Nokia Store client, and this should include new QT files. Corrupt QT files are usually the problem when installations from the Nokia/Ovi Store fails.

  • Where is updates for Map 3.01? or has discontinued...

    I have Nokia N82 which is uses Nokia Maps 3.01, its maps is very useful for me but  seems maps updates has discontinued for this version, because after several updates for 3.06/3.07/3.08/3.09 still nothing for 3.01! 
    What is going on? No service for old phones? is this nokia's strategy to force people buying windows phone? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Whilst this remains the last version of Ovi Maps v3.01 for use with your N82, N95 the last set of map data for 00.01.29.100 for use with it was released in December 2012.
    For S60 5th Ed. devices the cut off was Nokia Maps v3.06 and latest being v3.09 in Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 for Symbian S^3 devices.
    It is only the maps application which hasn't advanced as S60 3rd Ed. FP1 devices do not have available resources to use the extra transportation layer in 00.02.50.103 map data.
