Nokia Nseries :: Restore Anna-style Folder-based View In Message?
Feb 7, 2012
Upgraded my Nokia N8-00 to Nokia Belle today. Everything is great - phone feels much faster, menus are speedier, looks are stunning, no hitches or data loss during upgrade (except for few applications like Fring which disappeared). So congratulations on your fabulous work on the Belle firmware!A big grouse however is the redesign of the Messaging application. I am used to seeing the good old folder-based view of Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Sent, etc. as soon as I open the Messaging app (I'm sure that's the case with most people).However, in Belle, when I open Messaging, I see all my messages from all folders in one place (arranged by date & time). This is very, very confusing and not pleasant at all, since messaging is one of the most important things done on a phone, even today.I know I can still see the folder-based view by clicking on the rightmost option in taskbar and selecting "View folders". But I don't want to be doing that everytime.
In Contacts I can chose the "ringtone" and "text tone" to override the default.I receive a text message from my company's pager system and save that address as a contact.And then set a custom "text tone" for that contact.So now normal test messages arrive with the default tone and pages can sound the "Alarm" It would be nice if I Contacts also let me chose the Alert Style and Repeats.(it would also be nice if Repeats worked at all)
Recently, I've found this cellphone lying around in my brother's house, with the screen broken. He said it was a great phone till the screen cracked out of nowhere (touch area intact, lcd glass intact), and he didn't bother fixing it, bought the **bleep** bitten fruit phone.anyway, I brought it back to life two or three days ago. A new batt (actually, two - the normal battery and the clock's batt), a screen (cheap nowadays) and a lot of WD40 on the board, to flush out the oxidation. Had the v20 FW and I've updated it OTA to v60.0.003 (released 09-22-2011)
How to open java bassed site on nokia n8. When I try to open java based site on my n8 the following message appears "Please enable java in your browser". Here is the website link [URL].
On my N8 (Anna), I can see all the photos taken with the phone in the default photo viewer. But under Window Explorer, some can be seen but many are missing. So where are they?
why there is no way to create a shortcut to a folder or a file inside a folder in your memory card, it seems to me a very important function and yet no one complains but me.I have an office file which I use daily which is saved in E:My filesaccountshomeofficeworddaily.docIt would be great to add a shortcut to that file on the desktop. or at least to that folder.Or lets say I'm listening to an audiobook which is in: E:My filesAudioAudiobookspersonalBorn to runCD5chapter 4.mp3Every time I want to listen to this I have to dig deep in the file manager.
Since i have a N97 (from about one week) i have a problem that most of the people complain about aaaand there is NO solution to it..i'm with the firmware v 22.0.110 and it wants me to update it to the same firmware (the one i have v 22.0.110) which is pretty much useless.It's a RM-505 type soooo it can't be upgraded more.I've tried it all hard reset, reinstall etc nothing works.
- It now takes several seconds to respond to key presses so every feature of the phone is running at a delay.
- SMS messages aren't being received in "real time" and I need to periodically turn the phone on and off again to receive them.
- "Messaging" itself has the largest delay and key-presses are at about a ten second response delay and if for example you select to mark today's messages as "read" then "processing" appears at the bottom of the screen. No matter how long you leave it "processing" it never completes, crashes and closes messaging.
- Having never previously locked up my N8 now does this at least twice a day when trying to answer a call - the touchscreen does not respond to me and the call rings out and eventually goes to voicemail. I run my own business and these are potential customers who my N8 is refusing to answer calls from.
- My N8 will now no longer pair with my bluetooth headset - which it has done for the past year. It's not the headset because I can pair and use it with both my desktop and netbook computers.
- Programs keep crashing and exiting on their own (e.g. Opera browser)
- Other previously working programs now will not start/open/launch at all. (Blackballer - app for rejecting certain callers).
- Other installed programs that have been set to "auto start" now do not auto start and must be launched manually.
I have not installed any "new" software since updating to Anna and all aspects of the phone were working normally before I updated. (I've found the WiFi connectivity temperamental but haven't had the need to used it since updating to Anna).I am presently syncing and backing up my phone using the Ovi suite but I would like to restore my phone to how it was before the Anna update but I'm not really sure which of the options I should choose (factory settings?)I have a class 10 memory card which contains several GB's worth mp3's and camera images - I have opted out of backing up the memory card on Ovi suite. I have installed paid-for apps installed via the Ovi store and I would (of course!) prefer not to lose them in any reset/restore procedure.In a nutshell I do not want to lose my mp3's, camera images (stored on memory card) nor do I want to lose my sms messages or installed paid-for applications.
I've recently had a notification on my N8 with a software upgrade. I run OSX and was wondering what is the best way to upgrade firmware without windows?
I'm looking for a theme that replaces the Anna style icons from my N8 and replaces them with how it used to look.Ovi told me that there was an update available for my N8 with improved features so I downloaded and installed it. What it didn't tell me was that it would replace all of my icons with something that makes it look like a kids toy. I don't want pretty rounded icons that all look virtually the same but in different colours, I want standard icons. I want a picture of a spanner for settings, I want a picture of a calculator for calculator, I want a picture of a calendar for calendar and so on.Is there a downloadable theme that replaces these childish looking icons for the original ones? The N8 is a telephone, not something made by Fisher-Price......
Recently I went on trip and set my phone to Offline - but allowed wifi connections.I did buy a microSD card. I tried removing it - same issue.Upon my return back to my home and native land - I could not make out going calls.Anyhow - now I can't make out going calls. I can send and receive txts. My data plan works. I can receive calls.I checked my call restrictions and tried check status and it said request was denied. I never set up any restrictions or passwords.I have rebooted several times. Tried the holding for 8 seconds and waiting for the 3 buzzes - no dice.
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.
Ok. so now i was so happy that anna came out then when i updated (Via OTA don't know if that matters since the update went perfectly) .. and no split screen? I'm using singapore FW which has chinese character.. maybe the chinese FW doesn't support split screen? not even in english writing language mode?
After upgrading to Symbian Anna, my N8 cannot pair to my laptop via bluetooth. This same phone could pair with the laptop earlier. My E6-00 can connect to the same laptop without any hassles via Bluetooth.
After Anna upgrade, the operation of my phone (N8) run slower generally. I am not sure I can specify few, for example, openning Photos, taking picture, working with worksheet, etc.
Since I installed the new Anna updates today through OVI Suite I have not been able to send any texts. They stay in my outbox and keeps updating with 'resend at ......' I have gone back and restored factory settings bit no joy.
what happened when u enter menu every "Thing" is in menu now why is it not like on Anna that u have things sorted in folders any solution for that?what is wrong when u enter in messages u have only last messages no Inbox sent etc?
Are there some examples out there how to set this up? For example, a Microsoft SSTP VPN? I have N8 Anna. I have Mobile VPN and also Mobile Intranet but clueless since there is no User Guide.
Everywhere on the web it says that the Anna version is 025.007I live in the U.S. And my phone is still 024.001 and I tried every single way to do the software update but it still shows no recent updates.Can anyone help me know what's the problem here.
My N8 just freezes often and it is extremely frustrationg. I usually happens during sending txt and using Whatsapp. It just freezes. I click the right side slider to lock it - nothing happens sometimes. Then about a minute later, it catches up - all my clicks go off.
I suspect Whatsapp. I uninstalled it - seems to be better. So I reinstalled it. Same issue. Hanging starts again. After phone reboots - same thing.
I really love Whatsapp. I uninstalled it, and re dowloaded it from the site. Same issue. But things were fine about 6 months ago.
I've looked, and so far, all I've found is an update that will installe Belle. I tried that once, and now my system pops up "System Error" every time I turn it on, so I don't want to try installing Belle again, in case something worse happens.
I've now been told by Nokia support chat, that I was supposed to 'monitor' the download, and later the installation of upgrades, when I called and explained that my phone is DEAD AS A DOORNAIL, stuck on the Nokia screen, no life, no hard reset, nothing helps. She failed to explain to me how exactly is it that one 'monitors' a download. Watch the bar? Anyway, stay away from the upgrade the system keeps telling you to do. I've had my $500 phone for 13 months and I'm told I have to pay to have it repaired, cause I'm out of warranty. BTW, if any of you have a suggestion, I'm all ears!
I have noticed data log (3G packet data and Wifi data) logging has gone missing after I have updated to Anna in my N8.Has anybody noticed this? This is useful to check how much data traffic has been used by the phone if you have a limited data plan. I use a small data plan because when I am at home I have my ADSL with wifi, which can be used with my N8.Further I have noticed the closing of applications that are Exit after using is very slow and sometimes stay active after the Exit
