As title suggests, there are two new software releases from beta labs, a new release for Nokia bots URL...And a new app for Video collection management and access, looks interesting URL...I find most Beta labs releases quite useful and at least worth giving a try
I'm currently running v2.1 software on the n97 so the latest software.However, are there any extra features to download of beta labs.I don't think i'm running the latest ovi maps. Is it worth the update?Also, does anybody have any news of a new software update?
I just formated my phone...again...MSN messenger is no longer in the OVI store? thus it is not downloadable? can anyone confirm why this is or where it went? URL...
I really can't understand why can we only have 4 application shortcuts in the home screen. This should be configurable. Anyone else having the same thoughts?
Nokia Battery Meter for S60v5 is missing from Nokia Store, there is one Qt version for Symbian^3 devices. So a new update is coming or it has been permanently withdrawn? My device is X6 16GB.
My 5230 has had the startup freeze problem twice. The first time, I figured it was a problem with the memory card or a specific program, so I did a phone reset and started over. The second time, I did some Googling and found I was not alone. I found people with all the S60v5 phones (5800, 5530, 5230, X6, N97, N97 Mini, etc) have the same problem: the phone will refuse to boot. It will freeze on the Nokia logo, before the handshake. Most users can work around the problem temporarily by ejecting the memory card before booting, but X6 users don't have that option, the poor souls.
It makes me mad to see the problem "solved" on forums by people reformatting their memory cards as if the problem was card corruption. That's not the problem. The problem, or problems, really, seem to be Nokia's.
The problem can definitely be triggered by: -Setting Nokia Messaging to store SMS/email data on the memory card. -Having more than about 40 apps/widgets on your memory card (exact limit unknown)
The problem has also been reported to be the result of: -Having apps on the memory card run at startup (Fring, etc) -Having shortcuts to apps on the memory card on the home screen
I have seen suggestions like, "just install everything onto the internal memory," but that is of course unrealistic, because if you have 40 apps on the card, there's no way they'd all fit on the internal memory. By the time I have my phone configured to my satisfaction, and I've carefully installed EVERYTHING to the memory card, I usually have only 10-15MB free on the internal memory.
The most realistic compromise, perhaps, is to do your best to: -remove apps you don't use -install small apps to the internal memory, large apps to the card -install home screen shortcut apps to the phone memory -install apps that startup on boot to the phone memory (Fring, Google Voice Search, etc)
Ultimately, this is too much of a burden for users, though, and Nokia really needs to fix this ASAP! Especially as the Ovi Store takes off and more people install more apps. I for one hope the problem becomes even more widespread, just so it embarrasses Nokia into doing something.
I hope this post helps someone, and hopefully it ties together the various pieces of information I've seen elsewhere, including other posts in this forum.
Any more specific tips would be helpful, such as: -how to tell which programs run at startup (in case they are not obvious like Fring) -a list of such known programs, besides Fring and Google Voice Search
Does anybody know a decent Freeware PDF reader (except Adobe PDF reader, Actually i don't want to pay for that otherwise its great) for 5230??? and i was also wondering why it (AdobePDF) is not installed by default in 5230? even it was present on n70, n73, n95 8GB, any thoughts?
As the title suggests, Firefox 1.1beta is now available for download. There's a few new features, like zooming with the volume/zoom rocker switch. Screenshots and feature list here: Firefox 1.1 Shots & FL. Download link here: FF Download link.
I am getting issues while using Nokia Drive + Beta, my position isn't moving when driving or taking 5 - 10 seconds to update then just freezes again.
it seems that i set destination, it finds me and my destination fine, i click start, it gives the first direction fine, i start driving and nothing, "my position" on the display doesn't move, the only way i can update it is "stop navigation" then "set destination" again where it picks up my new location.
i've ensured location services are on, location within the app is turned on, i've checked my connection is "online"...are there any other settings i should be aware of?
speed alert is off, landmarks is off, map colours automatic updated maps navigation licence is global
i am using it in a windscreen mount that grips the top and bottom of the phone with little "arms", i've tried in both landscape and portrait orientation. bluetooth is on and hoping to be playing music at the same time eventually.
i have been having the general "freeze out" issue recently with the phone where i lock it and then it doesn't come back on without a button reset, 2 times since friday
Just to let people know that there has been an update on Nokia Communities Beta, and it's fully functional now, all the things that were 'coming soon' have arrived, twitter has the same functionality as Facebook, all the buttons work and share location will work when posting on either site (which means people with N97 can uninstall the feature from the new maps and get about 3meg back) I'd heartily reccommend it to those who have a compatable phone and you can get it here signing in with your nokia account log in http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-messaging-chat. It's much better than standard facebook app
I have a mini. I downloaded and installed the Maps Beta 3.04, seems to work allright. Today I started Maps updater and it told me to update to version 3.03. I aborted the update to check here for advice. Is there a newer version than the Beta or isnīt it compatible with the Maps updater?
"Am afraid i dont know about the N97 native client but you could try the new Symbian Beta (not officially supported for the N97 but some users are reporting they have installed it and it works) at least until the Native client gets released anyway."
Has anyone attempted this with an N97? What issues/success have you encountered? Hoping for some feedback to help me decide if I want to attempt this.
How interesting. This is the release version of the Beta which loads of us have been using for months.These have been the supported phones up until now. Quote: Compatibility Ovi MapsBeta works with compatible Nokia devices: Nokia N97Nokia N97 miniNokia 5800 Navigation EditionNokia 5800 XpressMusic Now, ironically, the only one supported right now is the N97 Mini.I'm still running the Beta 3.03 on my N97, on FW 20.0.019. I wonder why the N97 and N97 mini have been running the exact same version until now, but the final version has not been made available for both at the same time. Obviously it doesn't need the new FW to work. Maybe it's just to save N97 users from 2 big updates in a week.By the way, I love the new interface, but it IS a shock, when moving from the old interface. Where is everything?Don't be discouraged, it's all there somewhere. It's just a different logic.
I read here the problem with outlook, but all posts say it is beta...but till a few days there is a final version, but nokia is not fit enough to fix the sync with outlook 2010 64bit?
We are especially looking for Nokia N900 and MS Outlook 2010 users. We will tell more about the new features and improvements in Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2 when the testing starts.
