What are third party alternatives to Ovi Suite

I really like my Nokia E63 Smartphone, and Nokia PC Suite is usable, I'll say no more than that.
Unfortunately its replacement Nokia Ovi Suite, really is a dire application, appearing to have a UI designed by a child, and the coding done by someone committed to an asylum.
Harsh words, indeedy so, but this Ovi Suite really does bring out the worst in a person when to attempt to use it.
Enough has already been written about its short comings, so I won't waste time re-visiting...
My quest is for a suitable third part application that will do the business without the problems.
Searching around I've found two possibles, OxyCube which unfortunately just will not install its required bit on my phone, and MobilEdit which works reasonably well, but has a very dodgy .CSV import capability.
So my question here to the knowledgeable is:
Are there any other third party replacements for the Nokia offering?
Thanks
Ax

+1 from me on both looking for a third party app, and loathing the Nokia-as-the-centre-of-the-universe approach to coding.  Nokia 5800.
Had a torrid time with the OVI 3 update which simply doesn't do the sync'ing it promises to do, so rolled back to OVI 2 which gets stuck on insisting that I reinstall (a perfectly functioning) MS Outlook. 
Since my Nokia phone is now next to useless through not giving me what I paid for, I'll also start looking at other brands.  Well done Nokia!

  • What are Third Party Applications??

    I just want to know what they are since i'm confused with them... They sound illegal but i've seen them in the apple store as alarm clocks.

    ohhhh... Thnx so third party apps are every app apart from like 10apps made from apple??
    Yes.
    then why would the alarm clock that i have need to say that it is a third party apps and needs to stay open for it to work?
    It's probably saying that since it isn't an Apple application, it won't run in the background. However, with the latest update (iOS 4) it may be possible to find an alarm clock app that will be able to run in the background.

  • What are third party apps????

    hi everyone, in the 1.1.3 video, he says something about third party apps, what are they.
    thanks

    iPhone,
    The first and second party is Apple (the maker of the device) and you (the customer who uses the device). Right now all the software on the iPhone is from Apple. A third party is anybody besides Apple and you. Most webapps are written by "third-parties", and you can create bookmarks to them.
    In late February, there will be a System Developer's Kit which will allow writing third-party "native" applications that can be put on the iPhone will become possible. This link is to the announcement about the SDK:
    http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/thirdpartyapps.php
    Hope this helps,

  • What are third party compatible DVD burners?

    I can't seem to find a clear answer to this question: What is a "third party compatible" DVD burner that I can use with iMovie/iDVD?
    I don't have an internal DVD burner, so I'm thinking of picking up an external one. Problem is, I don't know which ones will work. Is there a list somewhere?
    Do I need a firewire burner or can I use USB 2.0?
    Thanks.

    LaCie Firewire External DVD burners are good and they include Toast software.

  • What is Third PArty PO

    Dear Gurus,
    Will any one help me explain what is Third Party PO., What is diffrence between Standard PO and Third Party PO?
    Thanking You
    Manoj Kumar

    Third party PO means
    you got the requirements from SD stating please procure the material X adn send it to the customer Y
    so it means in the std PO you are getting stock in your company but in third party you ask vendor to send the material directly to the customer rather receiving in your storage location.
    In third-party processing, you place a purchase order with a vendor to deliver goods or perform a service for a third party (for example, for a customer).
    This means that your company does not deliver the material. You forward the order to an external vendor instead, who then sends the material directly to the customer and invoices you.
    Third-party processing is carried out in the components SD (Sales and Distribution) and MM (Materials Management). By creating a third-party item in a sales order, purchase requisition, or purchase order, you can request that the vendor sends the goods directly to your customer. A document can consist of one or more third-party items.
    Activities
    Entering a Sales Order
    You enter a third-party item in a sales order. The system automatically creates a purchase requisition item for each third-party item in the sales order.
    Entering a Purchase Order to Vendor
    You enter a purchase order with a third-party item with reference to the requisition third-party item.
    Delivering Goods to Customer
    The vendor supplies the goods to the customer. To document this step in the system, you can post a statistical goods receipt in Inventory Management. However, this is not compulsory.
    Entering a Vendor Invoice
    The vendor sends you an invoice. You enter the invoice receipt in Invoice Verification. The invoice receipt is necessary before a billing document can be created in SD.
    Creating a Billing Document for the Customer
    In SD, you create a billing document for the sales order. Depending on the Customizing settings (whether or not the billing-relevant indicator is set for the item category in SD), you draw up the billing document on the basis of the order quantity or on the basis of the quantity specified in the vendor invoice. If the customer is billed on the basis of the order quantity, you can create the billing document immediately after the sales order is entered. If the customer is billed on the basis of the quantity specified in the vendor invoice, you cannot create the billing document until the vendor invoice has been entered in Invoice Verification.

  • What are the best alternatives to Mail on a Mac?i

    After all the problem with Maverick and Apple Mail I want to change to a nother mail application.
    Apple Mail keep on jamming my iMac System (yes I installed the so called fix), using up to 2,5 GB of memory, lossing mails or give older mails as a blanc page.
    Mozilla Thunderbird, Outlook or other?
    What are the best alternatives?

    Never had problems whit Apple Mail. Till I updated to Maverick.
    First problam was Gmail after updating to Mavericks, Apple mail went to download all my old mail's over 6800. Just delleted my Gmail account form the list to stop it.
    Second issuu memory.
    First dit not now what was te problem till I found out that Apple Maill took over al my memory. Try differened tip and trick of the Apple Forums. This one works the best. Other users had the same problem after Mavericks.
    I restore my Accounts.plist form before the Maverick update.

  • HT4085 are third party media apps (youtube, grooveshark, etc.) grouped in the muted or unmuted category?  Since music and podcast (default apps) DO mute and games DON'T mute I thought it worth asking.

  • Are third party disk utilities really necessary?

    Are third party disk utilities [such as TechTool Pro or Disk Warrior] really necessary on a G5? Does the Apple Disk Utility perform all necessary repair functions?

    need a DiskWarrior for sure - buil-in utility is not very powerful for real nasty file corruption.
    most important is to back up files regularly to another drive - if drive fails no utility will fix it.

  • What's the difference between Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2....

    Yesterday I updated to Ovi Suite 2.2.1.22 from 2.2.0.245 - Update crashes as usual with OVI suite (Error Message: Could not delete Service).
    I had to uninstall all Nokia SW, reboot, install first the new Ovi Suite than PC Suite (I like a reliable Outlook Synchronisation, which OVI doesn't provide).
    Just tried to define a Outlook folder to synchronize Outlook Notes: Just by accessing the Outlook file - Ovi crashes!
    For what OVI suite is usefui? Delete all the Maps on my phone at once (which lasts several Hours) - Formatting the memory card is much more faster
    Looking whether the is a ROM update for my N82 is available - It isn't.
    PC Suite still works fine in synchronizing Outlook 2010 on Win7 x64. OVi suggests the same, but immediately crashes when just accessing a Outlook file.
    Possibly in OVI Suite 5 this will work, about in the year 2025.
    Where there is a technical documentation on the different versions of the OVI suite, where on the Nokia web I can find out, what release number is the current version?
    I think, Nokia should do a better job!
    Best Regards, Oblomow 

    Resistance thermometer wiring configurations:
    Two-wire configuration
    The simplest resistance thermometer configuration uses two wires. It is only used when high accuracy is not required as the resistance of the connecting wires is always included with that of the sensor leading to errors in the signal. This applies equally to balanced bridge and fixed bridge system.
    Three-wire configuration
    In order to minimize the effects of the lead resistances a three wire configuration can be used. Using this method the two leads to the sensor are on adjoining arms, there is a lead resistance in each arm of the bridge and therefore the lead resistance is cancelled out. High quality connection cables should be used for this type of configuration because an assumption is made that the two lead resistances are the same.
    Four-wire configuration
    The four wire resistance thermometer configuration even further increases the accuracy and reliability of the resistance being measured. In the diagram above a standard two terminal RTD is used with another pair of wires to form an additional loop that cancels out the lead resistance. The above Wheatstone bridge method uses a little more copper wire and is not a perfect solution. Below is a better alternative configuration four-wire Kelvin connection that should be used in all RTDs. It provides full cancellation of spurious effects and cable resistance of up to 15 Ω can be handled. Actually in four wire measurement the resistance error due to lead wire resistance is zero.

  • What are the advantages of forms10g developer suite over forms 6i

    Hi All,
    Am new to this Oracle Forms-10g developer, so I would like to know what are the new features of 10g over 6i. What are the main differences between oracle versions like forms-6i, forms-9i and forms-10g developer suite.
    I even wanted to know what exactly is this OC4J Instance Start.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Chandra Sekhar.

    is the most ignorant answer I've ever seen on this forum.That's quite a horrible distinction to possess here. Frank, it's clear you took my post as a personal insult for a product you've worked on in a major way. That was not my intent, and for that, I apologize. I hope you will take most of my other posts here so far (the overwhelming majority of which are to answer questions for others instead of seek help for myself) into consideration.
    I stand corrected on overlooking the enhancements related to the interfaces with Java.
    There are perhaps a number of viewpoints to Chandra's question. Our users, who are focused on using the applications to do their job-- well, having the forms environment moved from client-server to the web is almost irrelevant to them, and losing client-server was no advantage. I guess I looked at it too narrowly from a pure Forms programmer's point-of-view. One of the things you describe as a new feature-- the ability to see GIFs in the builder, well since I saw ICOs in the builder in 6i, I just don't see an advantage as much as a change/fix to make it work like before.
    Since I never looked hard at 9i release (which I admitted), perhaps I am ignorant to some new features. I went to OTN and looked up the 9.0.2 documentation, and didn't see what these 20+ features might be. If you would point me to a specific document, I would sincerely appreciate it.

  • CS5 Trial Version: are third party plugins allowed?

    I'm just considering an upgrade from Elements on recommendation that CS5 will provide better colour and page size control on my Canon iPF5000 - there is a Canon plugin that supports CS5 (they claim!).
    So downloaded the trial CS5 version and installed the Canon plugin according to the docs in ./plugins/import-export. No matter what I do I cannot get Photoshop to list the plugin, so I have no idea if it's actually being recognised or not. Unfortunately Canon don't seem to provide any documentation, so I've no idea what to expect.
    I've been told that trial versions don't support plugins - is this correct?
    OS is 10.5.

    The trial does support third party plugins.
    If the plugin is not written for 64 bits, then it will only be available if you switch Photoshop to run in 32 bits addressing mode.

  • What are the pro alternatives to Compressor?

    I've been compressing a lot of material recently, mostly shot on DVCPRO HD and edited on FCP. What's been happening is that some - but surprisingly not all dissolves - are breaking up into pixels or rather blocks of pixels. The problem, as I've recently found out, has been documented here so I won't waste anyone's time agonizing over it. I'll just say that using Compression Master, Sorenson Squeeze and bitVice produced artifacts free files right off the bat.
    What's infuriating about the Compressor is that every time I try to test a short piece from the middle of the sequence, it compresses fine but then when the whole 20 min sequence is compressed the problem comes back.
    I've tried CBR, closed GOP, IP structure etc as suggested in one of the posts and it did get rid of the pixelation but I'm still not happy with the results. The picture looks a bit soft and washed out. Shockingly comparable to a well compressed random, internet downloaded DivX file that I can play on the same player. Is it the Compressor, DVDSP or the true nature of the DVCPRO HD format showing its ugly face?
    What are the professional MPEG encoders that could save me all that headache? I'd rather pay good money and finally get it done right than spend my time beta testing software that is clearly not ready for the prime time.

    I understand that once the query is designed, it can be executed in BEx analyzer and we save it as workbook..then what is the purpose of BI content u201CWorkbooku201D that is available in BI content?
    (ii).Is BI portal same as Netweaver Portal? When end user tries to view the reports from the portal on clicking link, from where the data will be retrieved (I mean either from BEx web Analyzer or Web Application Designer or from anywhere else?
    (iii).In the complete tool set of BEx, what are the developer tools and what are the end user tools? I understand that Query Designer and BEx Analyzer are both end user & Developer tools and the remaining are only Developer tools.
    Please provide the clarifications to the above queries..I am always confused with these.

    Hi,
    Please try to break the questions into different threads.
    i).What BI content do we need to install (or activate) to view the result of the query in Web Report and Excel Report form?
    I understand that once the query is designed, it can be executed in BEx analyzer and we save it as workbook..then what is the purpose of BI content u201CWorkbooku201D that is available in BI content?
    -> This WorkBook provides information for the BI Technical Content and is used by admin, where workbooks with queries designed by the customer are genrally targetted to the end user and contain information about the company.
    (ii).Is BI portal same as Netweaver Portal? When end user tries to view the reports from the portal on clicking link, from where the data will be retrieved (I mean either from BEx web Analyzer or Web Application Designer or from anywhere else?
    -> The BI portal is based on the Netweaver Portal. It simply has BI content & roles activated.
    (iii).In the complete tool set of BEx, what are the developer tools and what are the end user tools? I understand that Query Designer and BEx Analyzer are both end user & Developer tools and the remaining are only Developer tools.
    -> Additional developer tools are Web Application Designer & Report Designer.
