I currently have an N86 which is pretty good as far as i'm concerned. The only things i can fault it on are a rather flaky operating system which tends to crash a bit too often and a very fragile screen cover, but for the most part i can live with these issues.I'm currently due for an upgrade on my contract and would like something that does much the same as the N86 does, but the sticking point is the FM Transmitter function (referred to as "Play by Radio" on some handsets) which i use a lot. Neither Nokia nor any third party seems to produce a list of current handsets which has this functionality built in, perhaps because its use is restricted in some territories and thus varies.
I am a fan of Internet Radio and love the FM transmitter (Play via Radio) built into the N8. The best thing is that one can use both at the same time to transmit an internet radio stream to an FM radio!
One bad day I decided to follow the highlighted Nokia remark urging me to update the Internet Radio software..... I have Anna installed and Anna update 2/2 includes IR version 3.03. The download and installation via Nokia Store went smooth and version 3.04 was up and running soon.
Side-remark 1: how can one see on store.ovi.com which SW version is being offered? I can only see version information using the nokia store app on the phone. Displaying the version in the on-line store would be very helpful!
Side-remark 2: the IR version on offer through the nokia store app is 3.4.0. After installation it states version 3.04..... I found this very confusing. Is this a regular numbering convention for Nokia?
Side-remark 3: did anyone see any differences between 3.03 and 3.04? Both look very much alike! What is the reason for going from 3.03 to 3.04? I do think that 3.03 could be looking a lot better!
With version 3.04 up and running, I decided to start the FM transmitter. The very moment you press the on button the radio stream stops. In the widget for internet radio, the play symbol is now visible. Pressing it to turn the stream back on, the music plays for a fraction of a second before the stream is again stopped. No matter what I tried, I cannot use the FM transmitter together with the Internet Radio 3.04 app.
I searched the internet for the 3.03 version and re-installed it after removing 3.04. Fortunately I can now again run the Internet Radio and the FM transmitter at the same time Is there a solution for this? Why Nokia doesn't test such basic things before releasing the update?
Thought the new Nokia N9 was going to give me everything I wanted in a phone, particularly 64gb memory for my music collection (10,000 songs). So I could finally say goodbye to having my nokia phone and also carrying my 120 gb ipod for my music. However I note there is no FM transmitter in the phone so I cannot use a N9 in my car as my music source to play via my radio. So unfortunately the N9 just misses on being my perfect phone, seems I will just need to keep looking or wait until Nokia produce a better phone or for Nokia to just add a FM transmitter to the N9
The fm-transmitter is something that I use every single day on my way to work. Instead of burning CD's, using BT or Aux. The FM-transmitter is the simplest solution, and it spreads my music across ANY radio in ANY car.Here in Norway we are phasing out the FM network so it can be replaced by DAB in 7-9 years time. Then think of all the FM-cars that would need a phone like the N900 or N8 to keep the noise flowing.I recently bought the N9 because of false advertising by sites like GSMarena claiming there was an transmitter there and only software were needed.I still have 1 week before my refund-guarantee runs out on the N9. If I don't figure anything out on the transmitter, It's being shipped back and N9 becomes my last Nokia phone.
after updating to symbian anna my fm transmitter stops working... i tried to reinnstall the software then also its not working.what should i suppose to do???
Have had my N8 for well over a year now, and made frequent use (almost Daily in the Car) of the FM Transmitter feature, today this appears to have been somehow Disabled, with the widget being removed from the menus, when trying to activate from the menus I get the message 'Feature Not Supported'.
In Ovi Maps software the voice instrucions no longer get played over the FM transmitter. What happens is, the music goes silent on the FM, the voice instruction and the music is played on the phone speakers (or Bluetooth device, if connected), then at the completion of the instruction the music goes back through the FM transmitter again.
I have just upgraded from nokia maps 2.0 to version 3.0. Prior to this if i had my music playing and the sat nav giving me voice directions over the fm transmitter in my car the music would be stoppped while the voice read out the instruction over the radio speakers, this would then revert to the music playing over the fm transmitter again, oh how perfect it was. Now unfortunatley after upgrading to nokia maps 3.0 when my sat nav decieds to give me verbal instructions all sound is taken from the fm transmitter and comes from the phones internal speaker (not via my car stereo) and to top it all of it doesnt even shut down the music that is playing so i have to try and decipher the sat nav instruction over the music, is anybody else having this problem or is it just me and more to the point how do i fix i
I don't know if this topic was already discussed here. I didn't find it.If I have activate the fm-transmitter in my car and nokia maps is running as well, the output of the music comes over the radio, but the output voice of nokia maps comes over the phone. If any advise comes from nokia maps, the connections interrupt via fm-transmitter completly.During the time of the nokia maps advise both, music and nokia maps, sending the sound via phone. Is there any possibility to avoid that problem?
I have aN79 and use the fm transmitter to play mp3's loaded on it via my car radio system.When using nokia maps at the same time the transmitter is turned off when a voice comand comes from Nokia maps then when it is finnished it comes back on again.
Why can't/arn't the comands transmitted to the car system the same as the mp3's as they continue to play from the phone as the comands are deliveried.
Is this as good as it gets or can you get it to work with the transmitter?
I have Nokia 5130 xpressmusic. When I try to play Virtual Radio, it plays for sometime, then stops and gives the message"Application Error". When I check the details, it shows "out of memory error". What is the problem?
Is there a way to get the Nokia Internet Radio app to play through WiFi Whenever I start it up it just uses 3G and eats up my free allowance, I see no settings to switch it to Wifi though
Since updating to Belle, I am no longer able to use the dab radio app, which renders my £40 headset obsolete. Hopefully this app will be available again soon??
Radio of my Nokia 5800 xp is not working at all. When I go to Radio -> Options and select any of the option e.g. "Stations", "Tune Stations" or "Alternate frequency" menu is closed without doing anything or asking for further option. I have tried factory reset, but no luck.
if I try to play Pandora internet radio on my Samsung s5 smart phone my wifi has to be turned off, so I have to play it using my data, can I set my phone to play Pandora while connected to wifi?
i updated my Nokia N8 Anna to Belle . After updating my phone i see this problem that my phone doesn't show gps information when i capturing any photo. When i try to capture a photo i noticed that gps is not available notification. But when i close my camera option my phone show that gps is available. I also check the settings. Actually what is the problem ? When i entered camera option then gps option show me that its not available but when i close camera option then it show gps is available. When i first bought Nokia n8 its work its gps function properly.
I have Nokia 500 Belle. Listening to built in internet radio fills phone's C: memory with no apparent reason (No any messages, no email, no installed apps, to prevent stamp answers that suggest to remove apps and messages). After about 10-15 minutes browsing and listening stations memory is decreased by about 10 MB's. I used X-plore to see, what can i do and what to delete but there's nothing to delete. Probably the Private or Sys folders are filled with some kind of junk but obviously there is no access to these... I had about 130 MB free on C: and after using Internet radio it was decreased to below 120 MB. I did very little listening next day and after that memory was left to 114 MB. What if it will eventually fill completely? It was a problem on Nokia E52 and Nokia 500 Anna.
Internet is full of complaints about Nokia phones memory usage. But no any reasonable solution. All what i can find are typical stamp answers that suggests to remove apps and messages and so on... Few months ago my E52 ran out of memory, though i hadn't installed any apps on C: and all messages were also on memory card. Even deleting browser cache (using x-plore) did not help.
Why there is no track and artist name display on the main screen of internet radio ?I had that on my old NOKIA 6710 and even with ahistory of last tracks. I guess it also worked in Anna , but not in Belle.
I would like to listen to BBC radio 5 Live Sports Extra on my N8/belle. Nokia Internet Radio app doesn't have this station and I can't find any other app which offers it. Is the Nokia DAB attachment/app my only option?
I just started using Internet Radio this week. Tonight I was picking a station on my favorites list and hit cancel while it was loading, since then no stations will load, they have quick timeout errors. I tried unistalling Internet Radio and reinstalling but this does not work. It seems something is hung up or frozen somewhere. If I click on genres same thing, nothing loads, but if I "Go to Station" and type in the web address it plays, but I dont have the thousand of lists of radion stations to view anymore.
Is it possible to play .avi or .mkv files in Nokia N8. If yes can anyone please suggest any software which can be install in Nokia N8 to view those files
When I receive e-mails on my N8 with an appendix video file with a " .mov" extension it is not possible to open these files and it is not possible to save the files.
