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

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

ExtGps Symbian Belle Nokia C7 and Windows 7 (64 bi...

ExtGps application on Symbian Belle Nokia C7 and Windows 7 (64 bit and 32 bit starter).
The Serial port service is not discoverable on this device on Windows 7. I connected OK with USB cable and think the idea is good. Anyone that have solved this or know what the problem is in Windows and why this is not supported. (I have another similar developer debug agent installed and this is discoverable in Win 7).

ExtGPS has been updated since that thread and is now available in the Nokia Store as a released version and is said to be compatible with the C7. At that time it only supported bluetooth connectivity which was problematical with Windows 7 64 bit on some (maybe all) Nokia phones.
In the released version USB connectivity has been added and that works fine with Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit on an N8 and I suspect all other Symbian phones as well, but one may find that bluetooth still does not work.
Maybe the OP is using the old beta version or if using the released version from the Store has not tried USB.

Flip clock widget for symbian belle FP2

Hi,
I tired install flip clock widget in symbian but I get error message: Can not install! Built-in components.
What's the problem?

Restart your device , then open the maps - Open Weather from Menu - Then add the widget ( don't close map & Weather until the widget shows the data ) Or , Try to download another application from Nokia Store , You definitely find more suitable apps than the inbuilt weather system,

Nokia 500 with Nokia Belle only supports 4 homescreens.
Nokia 500 does not support NFC.
FM transmitter and widget are not supported in Nokia 500.
Nokia 500 includes Nokia Maps 3.06 instead of 3.08.

All about Symbian Belle Problems.

Hi,
Here are my full list of problems, suggestion i would like to keep infront of you.
I sent the problems via ''CONTACT US'' and to some Nokia employee via PM but they just can't....
No problem is solved in software update.
Of Course that's really tough though
Here is the list,
Just copied from the sent items.
Please neglect if something is repeated.
1.
1.Screen starts blinking when a new meassage arrives!
Screen starts blinking ( ON/OFF) continuosly sometimes after unlocking keypad when phone shows new message arrived. Screen blinks at the rate of 8-10 times per second. We need to press end key to stop it.
2. Brightness:
In indoors or in low light conditions after Light time-out the screen brightness should be reduced, but brightness increases!!?
When we touch the screen brightness reduces back to normal. This repeats again and again. That is why i have to increased light timout to 60 seconds to avoid disturbance to eyes.
Sometimes light sensor doesnot work at all outdoors while using maps.
3.Slowdown of phone.
Phone slows during and after installing or removal of sis packages.
I have lot of apps installed from Nokia Store.
4. Menu scrolling and appearance of icons in menu after installation:
When we have more games and apps installed , the menu won't scroll smooth. It strucks in between and jumps to last item.
5. Appearance of icons in menu after installing apps games takes half a minute! Ofcourse i have many apps and games installed.
6.
Side unlock key vibrations. Unlock key vibrations sometime won't vibrate. We need to goto profile and reactivate the profile. Maybe this is third party app problem.
7. Camera:
When shooting CRT TV, the screen is not stable. I can shoot without problem on my Nokia C3-00.
8. Camera hidden in background and runs continously:
Battery dries very fast sometimes, the day when i use camera, i use Best Taskman by Smartphoneware. You know what camera application will be still running in background SOMETIMES though long pressing menu key shows no Open applications!!
So camera will be sometimes running hidden even after closing it.
9. Touch screen answer key:
Touching answer key on screen won't work sometimes when there is a incoming call, apps, maps, or browsing.
Sometimes phone restarts when a call arrives at that time.
10. Connecting phone in mass storage mode.
When i connect my phone to computer in mass storage mode, it is obvious that all apps games which are installed on mass and memory card becomes unavailable,
but wallpapers applied from mass and memeory card will not be re applied to homescreen back as wallpaers once mass storage mode is changed or even after removing cable connected to pc.
We need to apply them manually again or we need to apply wallpapers from internal memory!
11.Widgets.
There is a problem with mail widget. We cannot scroll it continuously. When we scroll it once it scrolls and while scrolling if we continue to scroll again it won't scroll but stops scrolling. So one scrolling attempt after another makes the scroll stop!!
These are some problems and bugs present on Symbian belle on NOKIA 701.
Please solve them and provide software update.
Thank You.
In Love With Nokia.

Here are some more bugs and problems of Symbian Belle-Nokia 701.
1.Widget arrangement in landscape mode gets changed on its own automatically when a widget in portrait mode successfully fits but it couldn't in landscape. We'll be not knowing what happens in landscape mode widget arrangements!
It would be better to have auto arrangement of widgets when we move another widgets in the homescreen.
2.Brightness variation during video playback is bit annoying.
3. Music files are not actually arranged according to album name, albums are again differentiated by contributing artists.
So to group the songs of an album, We have to delete all the contributing artists of all the songs of that album or change the contributing artists name to a common name.
4.I don't know what happens when i swipe the album art while playing a song using music player on 701.
When i swipe from left to right for the first song of an album, the song plays from the beginning or restarts. When i swipe from right to left it plays the next song, and when i again swipe from left to right it plays previous song. Well i just don't use swiping on album. Because it is confusing.
5.When i connect my 701 in Ovi suite mode and browse files using Computer-Portable devices-Nokia 701-Mass Memory-Music folder and while the music player is playing music, it starts showing 'media transfer in progress' and it won't go even after closing the folder in the computer.
'Media transfer in progress' message appears specially when i enter music folder of the mass memory!!
So these are some more bugs and problems which i found again.
Thank you.
3.
I have been taking photos of some pages.
What happens is that some images gets stored in landscape mode and some gets stored in portrait mode, though i kept the mobile in the same position while capturing. I think this is a problem with auto rotation. One more issue is with in-line editing, for example in opera mini. I we write something using prediction activated, we cannot move the cursor to previous word. To do this we need to deactivated prediction and we can move the cursor left or right towards desired words. I think this is maybe problem of 3rd party apps. This problem doesn't exists in other areas of phone like messaging. It's good. One more problem i have already sent to you is unlock or key vibration. When i remove the phone from charger the vibration doesn't work. We need to goto profiles and reactivate the profile again. Well these are some other problems i noticed in symbian belle of 701. Thank you. In love with Nokia.
4.
Another issue is with editing contact. I cannot select the numbers easily to delete them or add some digits to theme. I cannot touch and scroll to move the editing page, i have use side scroller to scroll to bottom or top. Will post some more problems if found on Nokia 701. I hope that posting like this is not annoying to you. Thank you.

Hello,
1.
I was using wifi on my two phones today, C3-00 and 701. I have noticed that wifi was repeatedly disconnecting(There was less wifi signal) on my 701, C3-00 was accessing same wifi without any problems. Even if 701 connects for a while, speed was too slow, very less than my C3-00.
2.
Task switcher which takes snapshots of apps sometimes takes wrong snapshots when we long press home key. Will post if any issue with my 701. Thank you
6.
I was using nokia drop application to install apps from ovi store.
It have installed many apps but two apps were taking much time to install so i pressed end key and ended the Nokia Store client,.
Now my menu icons and their names are interchanged, but when i add them to homescreen as shortcut it looks okay.
7.
2. Game play slows down and there will be hanging effects in the game (Angry birds) during and after the email alert.
3.I don't know but i just couldn't find stereo video recording, i checked the with my earphones but couldn't find any stereo effect.
4. Nokia account signin confirmation appears on the screen whenever i boot to Homescreen. Maybe because of new Nokia store installation! But interesting thing is that the same Nokia login confirmation appears even after turning off the phone and after connecting the charger!!! Switching the phone off and connecting the charger should only display battery meter at right top of the screen, but the login confirmation appears at that time.
5. I had a YouTube icon in the menu. I just uninstalled it as u could play youtube via browsers itself. I later noticed that YouTube app was in Store. I downloaded it but i couldn't open it. On touching it just closes immediately. The interesting thing again is that you cannot open any Google mobile applications!!!! They just look like they are starting but gets closed immediately!! As youtube app in Nokia store!
6. Applications screenshots. Screenshots which appear after long pressing menu are sometimes the screenshots of the Homescreen!
7. File type icons in file manager are all look same for installation files like sis and java, office files etc.
8. It would be better to have Homescreen sort option for easy arrangement and automatic movement of other widgets when we move desired widget on other widgets wherever there is a place for movement. Well these were some of problems, bugs and some suggestions i found. I will post some more if find any. Thank you.

Symbian belle. Version 111.030.0609 Bugs.
1.
I found a new problem with the scroller in the gallery. When we touch the scroller and move it completely to the bottom,
the scroller moves down inside the option button!
So we cannot scroll back again! We need to touch the gallery images and scroll so that scroller comes above the option menu!
2.
Scrolling is pretty smooth compared to old software, but still seems some scrolling problem when there are more apps on the menu list!
3.
There should have been a simple text editor! Please provide text editor software in Nokia store or full version Office.
4.
Much of the productive softwares doesn't work in belle like Skype and even new updated joikuspot for example.
5.
There should have been a record option in the options while calling and 4 columns option for menu icons.
6.
Problem with the mailbox widget is not solved. Scolling continuously in the widget is not possible.
7.
Brightness problem when we set display light timeout is still there. After 5 seconds after light timout display should become less bright but it becomes more bright -Works correct under bright light and works reverse in low light!!
Don't think that Nokia 701 has lots of problems.
I don't think that these are very big problems but are bearable though.
Thank You.
IN LOVE WITH NOKIA.

@ khanjan_701
The menu ket blinking without any reason is caused by standby breathing light. This can be solved by going to settings>phone>notification lights>standby breathing light>breathing light>off. If not found under settings then try looking for it at profiles but I believe that in devices running Symbian Anna or Nokia Belle it is found at settings but with the E-Series like E71 and the other E-series except E7 and other E-Series running on Symbian Anna or Nokia Belle it is foound at settings.
Under settings>phone>notification lights>notification light>blink light for, you can set a specific amount of time you want the light to blink when a new message or missed call arrives. Under settings>phone>notification lights>notification light>events notified, you can choose whether the menu key blinks when either a new message or a missed call arrives.
Hope that this solution will help you. I currently have a Nokia N8-00 and by changing that setting the menu key only blinks when a new missed call or new message arrives.

Nokia 701 Symbian Belle Widget problem

when i see previews of themes on nokia store, there are some widgets that i don't have on my Nokia 701 (latest software update)...for example the (3G On/Off) widget and some others too, is there any place where i can get these widgets ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

These widgets are in the latest symbian Belle firmware that comes to S^3 devices like N8, C7 ... in february.
I think newer devices like your 701 will also get a software update of Belle.

From "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" to "Nokia Belle"...

Dearest Nokia,
A lot of us have shed our heart, mind and soul in this forum, listing the critically required fixes for "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609".
You are saying that "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" is great in many ways, but ALAS, it has crippled our devices.
Can we request you to publish a list of all the fixes to "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" in the upcoming "Nokia Belle" update, in such a manner that all issues are fixed, and that no new tumours are caused?
Best regards,
E-Series Customer for 15 years
desperately waiting for an update from "Symbian Belle 111.030.0609" to "Nokia Belle" with all the fixes, and without any new tumours!

I am using Nokia belle 111.030.0609 for past few days and found some good things as well as bad things.
Good things are:-
1.Swipe lock feature
2.New camera features
3.Image editor inbuild
4.New keybboard
5.Hindi fonts
Bad things are:-
1.Battery life decreased.I am using Nokia battery monitor 3.1.Before update, it shown me Average use 52 hours ,Music playback time 37 hours but now it is showing Average use 34 hours ,Music playback time 18 hours.I charged my phone in night to 100% and when I check the battery in next morning, it shows 95%.I didn't configured any mail.No antivirus, no call recording application or any other application running then why battery is draining very quickly without using any application.
2.When i play any music or video file and icreased volume to 100%, it shows me "To prevet possible hearing damage,do not listen at high volume levels for long periods ot time". and i unable to listen music at full volume.Right now, i can listen music only with 50 % volumne.There is no option to diable it.
2.No button to use front camera
3.No back button when open camera
4.Unable to connect social(Facebbok,Twitter).When i tried to start it, it show "Unable to start"
5.No multiple mark check in gallery.Its very difficlt to transfer many files one by one to another mobile using bluetooth or NFC.
6.Unable to set any photos as wallpapaer using gallery.There should be an option to set a photo as wallpaper.
7.No video editor
8.Consuming more memory
Ih there aany way to downgrade the fiorware.I dont like the current firmware.
Thanks

Nokia C6-01 cant upgrade to Symbian Belle from Sym...

Pls advise me how to solve this problem cause i cant upgrade my C6-01 to Symbian Belle using Nokia Suite 3.3.89.

First check whether Nokia belle is available for your phone's product come and region. Check belle availability page of Nokia Europe's website. If its available, try updating with the latest Nokia suite. Check whether your antivirus is blocking connection to your Nokia suite. Refresh repeatedly for the update to appear. Try advancing the date a few days or weeks and check again. If nothing works, take your phone to Nokia care and they'll update it for you. All the best.

Nokia N8 Symbian Belle - A downgrade of sophistica...

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you in regards of the latest Belle update for Nokia N8.
I am deeply disappointed with some of the features and i would like to bring those to your attention. Dont get me wrong, as an update, Belle its nice and looks very beautiful on the phone, however, some things must be pointed out.
1. The notifications widget. WHY was this removed completely and made the phone less sophisticated?? (and please dont reply back to me as i saw in other posts, stating that it has been replaced with the drop down. Pls read further before replying and bare in mind that i already know with what it has been replaced!) I mean listen.... i own an N8 (550 Euro mobile phone!) and my wife owns a nokia X3 (60 Euro phone!)... with the current update of Belle, on the N8 when i receive a message i get the cheap looking like, old style notification on "1 new message received" (without stating from who i received the message before i open the message)... with the notification widget we had on Anna however everything was more sophisticated, it actually made the phone look More sophisticated as well, as it stated on the widget from who (e.g. John) you received a message or a missed call... on the X3 of my wife, is States that, it states from who you you received the message...I liked that and made the phone look different from many other phone and as i have observed from a lot of posts, Many people liked the notifications widget and believed the same as well... therefore we reached a point where cheaper phones now look more sophisticated than smartphones?? i know that when you make new software you wanna change and update everything for certain marketing reasons, however in my humble opinion that does not mean that you should also go ahead and downgrade the sophistication of the phone just for the sake of changing extremely nice stuff in the name of updating... there are certain things that you should be left as they were if not need update...
2. The fact that the widgets have been made all coulurful and "comic" like is a good thing on one hand but bad on the other. (e.g calendar, mail) On what basis was this done? I mean i am a lawyer, and i used those widgets and were very inportant to me on a daily basis, and i used them daily. On Symbian Anna, they were all very nice looking (glassy and black) and more professional. The fact that i updated the phone now and the widgets are so childishly designed and driven (colourful comic like calendar and email widget etc), makes one very uncomfortable in their use. (i mean think for instance a situation of me sitting next to a client and checking up my incoming mail on the widget that looks like poor unprofessional, childish email like hotmail, yahoo mail etc) I mean dont get me wrong, you should have included the new ones, but you should have also included the old glassy looking like widgets of symbian Anna (since i am certain you have them somewhere saved ni your databases) in the update and let the user decide which ones to use... you dont just simply proceed and make so many radical changes when you know that these kind of phones are also (and probably by majority) used by professionals.
Further, the old clock digital widget with the profile all in one was very nice and better looking like for some of us and shouldnt have been removed.......
3. About the screensaver screen. My comments here are interelated with my above comments regarding the notifications widget. Firtsly, i dislike the fact that on the screensaver screen, i only get the message and missed call signs when i get one, but there is no number next to them stating now how many messages or missed calls i have received like it used to be on Symbian Anna (its one thing to have 10 missed calls and its another to have solely one. i mean think of this scenario: when i am in an important meeting, i only take the phone out of my pocket to see HOW MANY missed calls i have. i dont sit with clients there and check who called isnt it? so if i saw i had 10 missed calls in one hour then i would know its an emergency and interrupt - maybe my child had an accident or something)
Further, the clock on the screensaver shouldnt be made with this dotty white colour, that looks like or seems as if the phone is about to die completely - makes the phone look cheap and unsophisticated as well. The colour of the clock should be solid crystal white as it used to be on Symbian Anna...
Thanks

I too am having the same issue with only hotmail. Looking at Microsoft forums, Nokia users aren't the only ones. MS have done some sort of 'upgrade' to their exchange servers which is causing the issue. They are sorting it out but goodness knows how long this is going to take. My emails sometimes come in but then on the next sync they disappear. The gripe that alot of people have is that phone manufacturers apparently hadn't been told of this 'upgrade' and for me, my additional gripe is that I have been a Nokia user since 1996 and over the last 1.5 I am getting increasingly frustrated with Nokia anyway and waiting for them to sort out some ongoing issues I have had since September last year, now this as there is this ' I don’t use active exchange as I don’t want to sync my contacts or calendar this way and prefer to use other ways/apps to sync this info. As there is and apparent ‘partnership' between Nokia & Microsoft, how come none of us users had a clue it was going to happen and what steps we should take for a smooth transition.

E7-00 Symbian Belle - Widgets loose colors

After installing the Symbian Belle latest updates on these phones, most of the Widgets lost their colors. Now most of them are only in white. (I have 2 of these for the moment)
Although it does not had an impact on the functionality, it sure would look much better if the Icons / widgets are getting their colors back as in the Anna version.
Appreciate any solution for this.

Hi freitsma,
If the applications work like they did with Anna, it means they're compatible with Belle so that can't be the issue. Delete the apps, then hard reset the device and reinstall the current software to clear up any bugs. Then reinstall the applications.
Delete the applications by going to Menu > Applications > Press and hold the application > Delete.
Now connect the phone with Nokia Suite, go to Tools > Back up to make a back up but don't tick the Settings box as this will backup any bugs in the software.
Now perform a hard reset by entering *#7370# into your phone and default security code 12345 (unless you've changed this code yourself). Once rebooted, reconnect the device to Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow to reinstall the current software. Now go to Tools > Restore to restore the back up.
If you go back to the Nokia Store you will be able to redownload all free apps. All paid apps will be sent to your device for free if you contact your local Care line. All you need is your IMEI, which you can find by entering *#06# into your phone.
Reinstall all the applications and let me know how you get on so that I can troubleshoot further, if necessary.
Awaiting your reply,
Iris9290

Nokia 500 Review on Symbian Belle

After the update screen went through, I had my fingers crossed, and despite the screen saying “15 minutes remaining,” the update was finished in about 5 minutes.
Upon startup, there was a line of dots (….) which lighted up on after the other sort of like a loading bar and it was. After the loading came the usual language selection and Ovi suite options (“Create an Ovi Account” “I have an account” and of course “Later.”) after going through the Ovi suite options (literally took 10 seconds) my carrier had charged me about 0.45cents (USD cents) for the tips I had signed up on while I still had Symbian Anna on the device. Nokia suite was installing support software after the phone booted up and after 5 more minutes, I set the date, time and location and I was presented with the home screen. The standard home screen as on other Belle devices with the Flip clock, Ovi Social widget and 4 icons (Camera, contacts, Angry birds [oh yea!] and Maps) at the last widget’s position; at the bottom edge of the screen are menu, call and home screen options. The widgets take a few seconds to load but once they load they don’t lag. The second home screen has “Favorite contacts” widgets and 4 more icons (Messaging, Store, Calendar and Web), the third home screen has a Music player widget and the 4th home screen is blank for the user to customize. Unlike other Nokia/Symbian Belle devices, the Nokia 500 only has 4 home screens as opposed to 6.
The lock screen is similar to the Anna screen and is only redesigned. The Belle home screen allows usage of a background unlike Symbian Anna’s.
Now the menu: unlike Symbian Anna, the menu does not have an applications folder so everything is spread out on the home screen creating a mini mess. Luckily, there is an option to create a new folder in which to put your apps in.
In Symbian Anna, the keypad for ‘Call’ was not very user friendly as the ‘*’ and ‘#’ where not where they would be on a physical alphanumerical keypad, but on Belle, the keypad is identical to the physical one and very responsive.
Apps:
While Symbian Anna lagged on the Nokia 500, Nokia Belle is very smooth. I don’t see any major changes with the camera on the 500 and the quality remains the same. There have been some rumors going around about the Nokia 500 getting HD video with the Belle update but these rumors are not true and the Nokia 500 remains with the usual 640p*313p video. While on Symbian Anna, there was no ‘Gallery’ icon but there is one on Symbian Belle and a separate ‘Videos’ icon is there too for easy access to downloaded videos (yes downloaded videos or those NOT taken with the phone’s camera). The angry birds app is a hugely wanted app for the Nokia 500 and is very identical to the computer version. Actually, it IS the computer version in smaller scale. Symbian Belle still allows the user to kill unwanted applications running in the background by holding down the menu key and clicking the ‘X’ icon. Ovi maps on the device is version 3.06 as predicted and even if not version 3.08, it still gets the job done.
The settings menu is the same and nothing major there too. On Symbian Anna, the Nokia 500 has many themes for different colors but on Symbian/Nokia Belle, the 500 only has one “Nokia Evolve” theme which means the users have to download their own themes for personalization.
Overall, the icons seem a bit smaller especially on the home screen and this makes the phone look abit tiny which it is. The size was not brought out in Symbian Anna but in Belle we can see how small the screen on the phone is compared to devices like the E7, N8 and Nokia 701.
With Symbian Belle, the Nokia 500 is able to really show its 1Ghz processor at work and even if it might not be able to play (fancy) 3D games due to the lack of a OpenGL compatible GPU, it can still allow us to play OpenVG games such as “Asphalt 6: Adrenaline” and “Nuke Defender 3D” available from Ovi store.

Great to see you are a happy user. I have just bought two Nokia 500 phones (another for my wife), upgraded to Belle, and both have the same infuriating problems:
- system crashes half a dozen times a day without any warning (during calls, browsing, text messaging)
- if I change the language for text messages, I cannot type anything (SMS) any more
- when phone goes to sleep, it often won't wake up and I need to remove the battery (after doing this 4-5 times a day one starts to get very frustrated).
I am very disappointed and cannot recommend the phone to anyone. First Nokia that I feel this way with.

Will nokia c5-00 be updated to symbian belle ?

will nokia release any new update for c5 to improve browser and time changing bug. Are we going to get anything above 71.005 . It is said that nokia is changing its phones from symbian to 'nokia belle' tag line. Can c5 expect the same or has the company removed c5 from any further improvement list.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It certainly won't be getting belle, that is a touch only operating system. The C5-00 runs the old pre-touch operating system, S60v3FP2.
No one here can tell you if Nokia has any plans to release any further updates for the C5-00. It's a case of waiting and hoping.
