I was excited at first about the new Lumia line, and anxious to try out Windows Mango. After having used it, I much prefer my N8 with Belle! I have been using Symbian since I got my first Nokia which was a 9300 Communicator. Please Nokia, don't abandon our beloved OS!! Weaknesses aside, I love it! How does everyone else feel about this? Please reply with your preference...Symbian or Windows?
Secondary to that, I have used my fm transmitter religiously for years and was happy to see that you included that feature on my next phone, the 808.
I downloaded the Symbian Anna and honestly, it's not as great as it's been made out to be!Now I want to revert to the earlier S3 version and am unable to do so! What can be done to regain the old version of the OS?
I tried a Restore to factory settings from the phone, but it just goes back to factory settings with ANNA, how do I change the OS back to the earlier one?
At the moment I'm on 22.014! I've been checking for updates OTA for a few weeks just for kicks. I checked through Nokia Suite today and there is this 25.007 update. Only problem is it's not the 1MB update I keep reading about! This is a 1.3GB update!Did I miss a couple updates that somehow added up (big time)? Is this normal? Is it safe to update?
i recently installed viber on my nokia x7 running symbian belle os. But when i started it i came to know that it doesn't have a calling option unlike android and ios phones. This is utter disappointment for me and i think for many nokia users. I would like to know will there be any updation regarding viber app in the coming or i should uninstall it because it is of no use if it does not have a calling option.
I still canīt install new Symbian ANNA, my Ovi Suite and N8 still writte "No updates available". I tried every option, which is avaible for update, but answer is still the same :"No updates availeble"

Last week, we upgraded my Nokia N8 to Symbian Anna.Now, I experienced one large and one smaller problem:1. Large problem: When connecting the phone (via USB cable) to my notebook (Suse Linux 11.2), it is no longer recognized as a mass storage drive (USB stick), but only the camera is recognized (pptp protocol), i.e., the notebook asks, if I want to copy the photos, but does not find access to all other files. (Before upgrading, this problem did not exist!)
2. Smaller problem: When taking photos, one can add a description (under "details").This works, but not as good as before: the number of characters for the description is drastically reduced. and what is worse: all older descriptions have been truncated and are hardly of any use any more.
Is update for Belle FP1 available now for N8? I heard somewhere that it will be released in June 2012. There's already a video about N8 having the FP1 update. I tried updating thru Nokia Suite but its taking a veryy long time just to check for update, i think its past 1 hr already. is there an alternative way to upgrade? we have no wifi here so i cant update thru my N8.Updating thru Nokia suite is becoming a pain. i dont know why its taking so effin long. its not downloading yet its just on checking status.

i have nokia 701 from a few days. I found some bugs 1. Mails for exchange didn't work ... same as here /t5/Messaging-Email-Browsing-and/Symbian-Anna-Mail-for-Exchange-not-working-on-Exchange-running/td-p... - there is now reasonable decision! I have Nokia N82 there is no problems with receiving e-mails from my company exchange server.
2. After complete backup of the phone on the memory card it shows System Error Message.
How to download any torrent on Symbian Belle? I got SymTorrent but when I add torrent file the application is crash. I need torrent on my phone. Nokia 500
My previous phone was an android phone, and whenever I put it to sleep, whenever I wake it up again, it asks for the Security PIN I set. How can I have this feature on Belle?
This is an interesting device, however besides having to have a seperate application for Wifi Hotspot, I am wondering if the so-called "application" for SIP VoIP calls, as per older handsets will in fact work or would it need upgrading.
can we have a utility which can sort of support any application designed for symbian/wp7.5/android/ios as the new apps being developed do not support symbian much e.g. angry bird's the new application would enable usage of the other apps in any nokia phone symbian/wp7/meego etc and people can't complain that nokia phones dont have apps.e.g. angry bird space?vonage app for making calls?Internet - not that symbian doesnt have it the streaming is better in other os...
I recently bought a Nokia 701 and I noticed that sometimes after receiving a call (That being after the call ends) if I was listening to the music player the music is slowed down and crackly after the call. (bug occurs atleast with headphones plugged in. Not sure if without. The music is distorted even after I remove my headphones.) This bug can be fixed with a restart.
After updating to Microsoft App my conversation center (messages) do not display the names of the contacts only the mobile number...What can I do to solve that? (excluding uninstall Microsoft App)
Since the Anna update, the assisted GPS has been functionally broken on my phone. It takes many, many, many minutes to get a lock (using integrated GPS solely, when I'm out and about).The common solution to verify "use only in home network" for positioning server "supl.nokia.com" or whatever does NOT work for me. I know I'm not alone in this, as on these message boards and throughout the internet I also see people with n8's and this problem that cannot be fixed by that positioning server fix.There was a service pack and ovi maps update recently that I had hoped fix it. Instead, it seems to have made the problem a little bit more invisible.This is what normally happens: i have internet connectivity offline (i don't have an affordable data plan). Before the service pack, I would open Ovi Maps, and after a second or so I would get prompted with a "Connect to the internet?" option with "Connect automatically/Connect this Time/Cancel" choices. Before Symbian Anna, I would do "Connect This Time", I'd get charged like USD $.02, and then I'd get a GPS lock in less than 10 seconds. After Symbian Anna, nothing would happen, I'd get notification about a "System error", and then I'd get prompted again about making a data connection. I'd hit "Connect this Time" again, but nothing would seemingly happen. It would take upwards of 10 minutes to get a GPS lock, which tells me that A-GPS is being skipped in sole favor of integrated GPS.
With the service pack, the only difference is that I don't get a "System error" at all, but I keep getting prompted to make a data connection. Even if I hit "Connect this time" nothing happens.I can further verify that assisted-GPS isn't working simply because I'm not getting charged anything by my carrier (AT&T). Normally I get a notification that my last transaction cost me $.02 - $.03, which makes sense since AGPS is just a small bit of data back and forth to narrow down GPS satellites. However, since Symbian Anna, no matter how much I tell Maps to make the data connection, I never get charged anything.For the record, I have virtually NOTHING custom-installed on my phone. Swype is the only non-stock app I have, so my phone is as basically close to factory-reset as possible. So it's not like I have something funny messing up my A-GPS.
After six months of heavy use, application installations, removals, etc. my N8 could really use a clean wipe before updating to Symbian Anna. I have a handful of smaller bugs, empty folders and such left on my phone, and I'd like to just have a fresh start before installing the new firmware.Phone memory (c: drive) has just 65mb of free space left and I've noticed that users installing Symbian Anna report that the free space on phone memory drops quite a bit after updating the firmware.Yet another good reason the get this fixed.ut what is the best way to do this?Is it any good to do a full phone format (hard reset) before updating to Symbian Anna?
