That's it: another useless Belle update so goodbye...
Okay, after yet another totally useless update for Belle and no real OS bug fix what so ever, it's time to say goodbye to Nokia.
I've used Nokia for many, many years and although their hardware remains great, the software, the OS and support did run backwards bigtime. Don't know about other countries but here in Holland your lucky to get a copy/paste answer from Nokia Care if any reaction/answer is given at all. That together with the sellout to Micro$oft makes it a hard but obvious choice: my C6-01 phone is the last Nokia for me.
Reporting in from London: icloud mail has been a big problem for me for several days on ALL devices, brand new, $3,000 Macbook Pro; iMac desktop and brand, spanking new iPhone 4S. Cannot get mail on any of them. Same issues as happened with Mobile Me, when I used to pay for it.
As of 16:30 GMT, status from Apple reads 1% of us are effected, but I believe it to be much higher.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
I have already decided, with my latest purchases, after 25 years with Apple and Apple alone, I will be leaving them, bit-by-bit from here on out. They show utter disregard for their customers. And truthfully, with Lion, I am no longer a fan of their operating system. It has become increasingly intrusive, making all sorts of wrong assumptions.
Urging, nay, insisting we all join The Cloud is one more step towards Big Brotherhood I'm going to pass on. Apple deserves to lose it's loyal customer base for failing us on some many levels.

Belle update for Orange and Bouygues in 02 weeks
the update will be available within two weeks after the service of an agent on the phone ORANGE is what he said
I'm talking with a counselor from Nokia who told me this:
"The deployment of Nokia Belle started well. This update is already available for mobile bare, open to all operators. However, variants Belle Orange and Bouygues will available in two weeks."
hope it's for real this timeA quick search of the forum finds this thread /t5/Xseries/Nokia-X7-Product-Code-059k1b7/m-p/1338067/highlight/true#M15547 which identifies this as a France variant, and it seems that there is currently no belle update planned.

First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.
Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

Problem with updating HU that is in another HU
Hi,
I want to update the quantity of a material that is in a HU, that belongs to another HU.
I tried with BAPI_HU_PACK, that says i creates or updates the quantity of a material if it is new or already exists. But it doesn´t work.
Also when i want to do the update using WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE, it says
Handling unit 00000000000000043958 is already assigned
Message no. HUDIALOG147
00000000000000043958 is the id from the palet HU.
How can i update the quantity, of a box, that already contains a material??
ThanksHello,
Use the FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE_2 to do Packing of the Delivery. The important thing that we need to consider is that it may cause Locking issues if you try to update the HU immediately after packing in the Delivery by using the above function module. So, you can use either of the below statements to avoid locking issues.
WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS. (Or)
CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_ALL'
Wait = 'X'.
Use the above FM to pack the Delivery & do BDC for updating HU if you have a requirement.
Thanks and Regards,

Unfortunately Nokia will never give an exact date of a forthcoming update. They never have, and they never will. Software waiting for approval has been submitted to the carrier, and they are waiting for the carrier to test the software and approve the update. This has to be done before the update can be made available to anyone on that network.
It doesn't matter which carrier you're with, the answer is usually the same. You'll get no information from either end, so your only option is just to be patient I'm afraid.
I'm on O2 in the UK and the Belle update is still waiting for approval on that network too. On another note entirely, a lot of the people who have updated to Belle have regretted doing so. Who knows, we actually may be better off without it
You're only jealous because the voices in my head won't talk to you.

Why Nokia is not giving Symbian Belle update for nokia C6-00 while Nokia 500 is running on same platform which is much cheaper than C6-00. I am using C6-00 from around 16 months and the software is really slow and it hangs multiple times in a day. Before purchasing this phone i suggest all friends to purchase nokia phones, at that time i was using nokia's low end phones but when i purchased this phone, it never gives me satisfation that i am using a smartphone. So i am making plan to move on to some other brand.
Thanks and Regards
Sumit Rana
( An unsatisfactory customer)Belle is not being released for any S60v5 devices, they don't have the necessary internal hardware to run it. The Nokia 500 was released running Anna and it does have the required hardware, it was also released long after the C6-00.
Only S^3 and Symbian Anna devices can be updated to Nokia Belle. S60V5 devices are just too old, even the C6-00 which was released towards the end of that OS's life.
So if you really are unhappy about this then you really do need to switch to another brand. Before you switch you may want to look at that brands history for releasing updates, for example you'll find a lot of older android devices stuck on old versions too.
There is nothing further that this forum or Nokia can do to help you with this. -
N8 Symbian Belle update:: Long Wait!!!
Hi Nokia,
I would like to share my thought, viewpoint on Nokia's firmware updates and it's availability to the global customers
Yes, as mentioned in the subject, I am coming to the much discussed and anticipitated Symbian Belle update for the Symbian 3 smartphone portfolio. Like all other customers, I was waiting for a good user experience on my Nokia s-phone. Symbian Anna might be the first step, but Belle definitely looks a Uber UI for all the users.
Now, let me explain my point: Nokia may release the Belle firmware for Nokia N8 someday in Q1 2012. I am definitely going to get that as I would keep this one in trash as no one wants an indefinite wait. And I may switch to some other phones running on Android/ or anything which I feel 'the cool one'. And I am not going to take another Nokia phone as this experience is horrible to wait for an update (having Nokia said "we don't & won't give the s/w update schedules prior"- it is like We (Nokia) would do whatever we want, and your (customers) interests doesn't matter). I was loyal to Nokia and keep this brand for nearly 10 years with 25+ phones from Nokia. And ultimately, you are loosing me (Nokia doesn't bother, I know). Not to try it's Windows portfolia as it's updates would be available only when Nokia feels to do it.
If this is a strategy to sell off new phones with latest OS (701 viz), this won't work well, as you may add a few customers and ofcourse sell some handsets, but a huge chunk of customer base will move away from Nokia. Another blunder is- the release of update is happening when the update itself is 'Outdated' compared to the then Smartphone OS Versions.
I know this Post looks like my frustration vent, but certain that others who have similiar views could like or discuss this
Regards,
Harish.Hi Guys
As frustrated as everyone might be, including myself, I think it's only fair if we look at all sides of what's currently happening.
I, for one, get a bit uneasy reading about a Leaked version of our Long awaited O.S, but hey, that's just how this world operates, there's leaks almost everywhere and we just need to learn to live with it.
It is a fact that Nokia has lost much of it's market share to other manufacturers and it seems as if this happened overnight, but I think it's fair that we give credit where it's due. Anna was launched recently, August if I'm not mistaken, and 3 Months down the line we're at Nokia's throats for another update. Mind you Anna was not just a Bug Fix, it was a MAJOR update, which some countries still don't have due to some errors...... Before the Much Talked about iOS5, iOS 4 was made available to the public for the iPhone and iPod touch on June 21, 2010 (More Info Here), almost 15 Months in between, including the Official Launch date of the iPhone 4S with iOS5, yet we can't wait for more than 3-4 Months after a Major Update? Remember, the S^3 phones aren't the only phones that nokia offers on the market, they offer a wide range (Look at the most recent E-Series Software Updates that rolled out some days ago). If the N8 was Nokia's only Phone, I'm certain things would be running smoother, not Perfect, smoother.....
I would also love to see some sort of Improvement in here and there from Nokia, but trying to regain Market Leadership will not happen overnight and our support, as Nokia Users, will sure go a long way.
Nokia has in the years given us Products to be proud of, why can't we show the same support as we did before?
All I'm saying is, at the end of the day, we all want value for money, we chose Nokia, they are having difficulties, Let's support 'em, we're all human..... We will get Belle, we've only had Anna for about 95 days or so.... And, if True, with Carla and Donna under dev. we know that our phones will still be looked after...... Just a thought....

Nokia C7 GPS not working after belle update!
Hi everyone, i had a C7, working great till i updated it with symbian belle.
okay here is what i did.
-my GPS was working on symbian anna with maps version 3.06beta
-i updated the phone to symbian belle from symbian anna.
-installed nokia maps 3.06 beta, and replaced the one that came with the update because it had the option of route planning which the installed map did not.
-this was the first time i checked to see if the GPS was working after the update, and it did not work even after i stood in an open field for half an hour.
-i learned that the latest update of nokia maps in fact had route planning, so i used the nokia PC suite to reset the phone software, and then later updated everything that was listed in the software update app.
-my GPS could still not work after i stood in the same damn field for another half an hour.
-now it will just give approximate positions based on the wireless networks, and not give any accurate position, so i cant use it for navigation anymore.
-i tried running the gpsinfoqt app, and it keeps saying searching for a signal, but it never finds one!
Please help me!! if there is any way i could flash the C7 or run a diagnostic or something so atleast i figure what is wrong!Hi akkudub,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
Have you used Nokia Suite for the update?
I advise you to follow the steps below in order to get your GPS fully working again:
1) Uninstall the current version of Nokia Suite that you have.
2) Clean the registry with a registry cleaner.
3) On your PC, go to Start > Run and type %temp% and click on "Run". Delete all Nokia folders from the folder that opens.
4) Download the newest Beta version of Nokia Suite from this link:
http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-suite-beta
You will need to sign in to your Nokia account - the same credentials used to log into this forum.
We will appreciate your feedback once you have tried this program!
Once Nokia Suite is installed, please connect your device to it and perform the available updates if any is available. Alternatively please reinstall the current software. Also, click on the Maps tab and download the relevant maps files (Europe, UK etc...)
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

Nokia suite not showing belle update....
Hello,
I am having a Nokia suite 3.3.86 installed on my Win 7. I connected the phone to PC and checked for update, it showed Belle available. I started downloading and in between installing it said something went wrong and cant connect your phone. So I reinstalled suite after installing.
Now it's not showing the belle update.
My phone Nokia N8-00 : 0599255.
Thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello,
It is normal that the phone loses connection during the reboot phase.
If you wait for a while it will automatically reconnect to your PC.
If you lose connection during the backup, installation or restore phase, please do the following:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from your phone
2. Press your phone’s power button for about 10 seconds
3. Reconnect the USB cable
4. Wait for the installation to continue
Note: If this doesn’t solve your issues, try to connect your phone to another USB port on your laptop or to a USB port on the backside of your desktop PC. In some cases rebooting the computer also helps or using another PC to do the update.
Please reply the result!
Cheers,
Marina

My Nokia E7-00 Belle update - the good, the bad, a...
Late last night I installed Belle on my E7-00 Anna. It was a completely hands-off install using the USB cable connected to my PC. It took about 15 minutes with multiple restarts of the phone all done by the software update.
I have a 12MB Internet connection (or so my service provider claims) and a UPS backup to reduce the chance of failure due to a poor Internet connection or untimely power outage.
The update was uneventful and the update software did perform a backup before the actual update began. I did do a backup myself of the Anna install before doing the Belle update.
Although I am technically very experienced and competent with Windows based computer hardware and software, I don't consider myself particularly knowledgeable in cell phone technology. So I was glad to see the update go smoothly.
However, all was not peaches and cream after the update completed. Once I started to use the phone I found that many, though not all, of additional application I had downloaded under Anna were no longer on the phone. Also, many settings were gone as well such as my WLAN settings, and later I found all my Favorites gone.
I spent a couple of hours going through all the menus reorganizing the interface and the various options to get the phone in what I consider to be a usable state. These things are made so that one can optimize to suit ones needs and I take advantage of that.
I'm disappointed that I had to spend so much time and effort doing this (actually redoing what had been done in Anna) and feel that the update should have, and could have, kept many of my settings. I understand that the new widgets and home screens meant a re-jigging of those things but, for example, why did I have to re-enter all the WLAN settings required to connect to my home router, including a very long security string? More below.
I am glad that I did the update in spite of all the time and trouble to get everything working again and to suit my personal preferences. I suspect a lot of users who have less experience than I in these things will be seeking help to get all their phone features working again.
Perhaps it would be useful to explain how I use my phone. This is my 6th or 7th cell phone and I'm on my second cell service provider (about 8 years). I have had cell phones continuously ever since they were small enough to carry on one's belt.
I am not a power user. I use the camera occasionally for recording information. I don't download music for listening but occasionally listen to music from the Internet via WLAN. I have not sent more than about a dozen text message in my life, though I have unlimited texting in my cell service package.
I use my cell phone mostly for business calls. I do not have any data service from my service provider. I tried the data service for about 3 months but found that I used it very little. I don't have a Twitter account (thinking about it) nor a Facebook account (and not thinking about it) so other than the rare instance to search the Internet for some information (when not near my own WLAN connection) I found little use for it. Data service here in Canada is one of the most expensive of any country (or so I have seen reported on the Internet). So I decided to save the money.
I do all of my email at my office or at home on desktop PCs with big screens and full size keyboards. Occasionally I connect to my home WLAN with my phone to check email or to check for updates to the phone software. But I don't like to do much typing on the phone keyboard, even though it is really a very good keyboard for a cell phone.
I do use the map/GPS feature regularly and think it is one of the best I've used. I've gone through about five stand-alone GPS units which gives me some reference for comparison.
I'm not much of a game player, never have been, even on my computer. I do have Angry Birds because it was free, and it is nice once in awhile to have something to occupy time when waiting at a doctors office or for a haircut, etc. and all the newspapers and magazines are old.
Here are things that I especially like about the new Nokia (Symbian) Belle software update:
I like the clock screen saver (I use the digital version rather than the analog display) because I can quickly look at my phone without having to unlock it and see the time/date (I've stopped wearing a watch). It is also a great nightstand clock and alarm. With the Light Bar app installed it is not too bright for sleeping but visible when needed. I suspect though that it is sucking a lot of battery power and I may have to disable the clock screen saver if battery charging is too frequent.
The user interface is very good. It is terribly easy to add or remove widgets and move them around on the home screen to suit ones needs. The bar across the bottom makes accessing the applications menu, phone dialer, or options menu extremely quick and easy.
The pull down connectivity menu is superb. With one touch I can turn on or off my Bluetooth, which I use with my car hands-free feature everyday. Turning Bluetooth often when not need saves power. With three taps of the screen I can connect to my home router, or disconnect with one tap.
A new capability that I now have and wished for previously on my E7 (but couldn't figure out how to do) is being able to put my phone in Off-line mode and still use the WLAN feature. This is great in the evening at home when I don't want to be connected to my cell phone provider, but I do want to look up something quickly on the Internet without going to my desktop PC.
After the Belle update I found that I still had the following applications (originally installed in Anna) still available on the phone:
Angry Birds
US and Canada Maps plus voice guidance
App Stop Camera Lover Pack (multiple apps)
Opera Mini
Sticky Notes
Here is a list of software and setting that were no longer on the phone after the Belle update:
Applications
Public Transportation
Beeps and Vibrations voice guidance
Converter
GPS Info QT
Compass Lite
Nokia Internet Radio
Display Brightness Control
Nokia Battery Monitor 2
Compass Touch
Here and Now
Settings
WLAN settings and password strings for three routers
Start-up custom Welcome message
Phone display settings
Route settings for maps
Voice guidance settings
Home location for maps
Lost all Favorites including many map locations and Internet radio Favorites
Lost all call logs
Lost all phone pairing - car and headset
Lost call mailbox number
Since I have had the Belle update for less than 24 hours I am certain that there is more for me to discover. But I thought it may be useful to provide this experience report as a heads-up for those about to do the same. And now I will have to update my E6-00.Thank you for the feedback hpholm.
I hope that you are very wrong about having to sync with OVI online services. I have never done that. Nowhere have I seen that as a requirement to store all the data on my phone. And as I said, I do not pay for a data service with my cell provider and only connect my phone to the Internet through my home or work router, or through my PC via USB cable. So syncing to a remote site is not attractive to me.
My impression from Nokia on-line information is that the Nokia Suite application, which runs on my PC, backs up my phone - everything. Where is the logic in backing up everything except my map Favorites. Why would those be an exception?
Additionally, I am not interested in having to backup my confidential information to someone else's server where (in my opinion) I have less security than on my own PC (I do tech support and know how to lock down a computer).
Also, in most cases when one puts information on someone else's server, especially a free service from the like of Google, Facebook, Twitter, (might I suggest Nokia?) etc. one loses control and rights to that information. I'm unwilling to do that simply because someone else thinks it is good for me to do. Ha!
Nothing is truly free. You pay somehow. These service aren't there because they are altruistic. How many billions is the IPO for Facebook worth? Gotta be a reason. All that information that people put there about themselves and others is the reason.
I doubt Facebook would pay me anything to put personal info on their site. I assume most people would think me a bit loony to expect it.
In any event, though there is a lot to like about the Belle update, there are a lot of unnecessary complications, with no warnings!
As I read the posts about peoples experiences with the Belle update I'm seeing a lot of disappointment. From my experience in computing hardware, software and network support it is my opinion that the Belle update was rushed and was done in a less than professional manner.
From what I've been reading, people who have updated to Belle have generally expected it to be near perfect and hassle free, and many are really disappointed. The end experience with the Anna update was much better in my opinion. Not good for Nokia customer relations.
Nokia customer loyalty easily rivaled that of Apple. But that has been seriously damaged with things like trashing Memo, going with the MS Windows phone OS, and a disappointing Belle update for all those expensive Nokia smart phones. Kinda dumb.
I suspect that most if not all of the first line developers have been pulled off Symbian to do development work on the Windows phone OS. The missing or incomplete bits and pieces in Belle, plus some gratuitous changes suggest less then experienced software developers working on Belle.
Enough grousing. I just hope that things get fixed, but I'm feeling very pessimistic right now. I wouldn't mind being proved wrong.
