Hi

Anyone know how to delete history list of web sites and links viewed? Tried marking all bookmarks and deleting but I still get a list of the previously viewed sites when I go to type in a new web site address....

Thanks

    to Tassie, X-man

    sry forgot to mention 1 more step in password protected wifi setup. i need to define the connection and save it first. goto menu Tools/Settings/Connection/Access points-Options-New access point. set everything there. i use static ip for password protected wifi.

      Finally bought this phone.

      It is ok. could be a lot lighter and less bulky like the Motorala "Q".

      Suggestion to Nokia for their new communicator - Pls add a stylus as also a camera.

        In regards to :
        "No Gateway Reply"

        To make it more clear, this message only happens if the phone does not receive a proper login window that the server needs for you to access the internet. This usually happens with private hotspots, such as T-Mobile, College grounds, etc.. Now If you try to connect a laptop to a T-Mobile HotSpot, you will get this log in screen, to input your account, and verify you have a subscription with the service. But in the Nokia's browser, it doesnt interact with that window, so this can be the reason why. Do you guys get it?

        WINDOWS OS:
        No, it cannot be done. Windows phones are specifically made to have compatible hardwares, so as Symbian phones, but they do not share the same compatibility. Now if you were able to somehow swap the Windows approved hardware to a Nokia E61, and run your own custom BIOS..etc..OS.. then you might be able to make it work. So if you are not able to access that kind of technology, then you cant change it.

        To restore Master Key Lock,

        without formatting your phone. Try this http://nfader.z-host.ru/
        Might or might not work.

        All E-Mail servers should work except those who restricts POP forwarding, just make sure you have your settings.

        WIFI on Windows vs. Symbian

        As far as I can compare, all I have to say is, its just how you use your phones. My Nokia E61 picks up WLAN signals perfect. So does my Windows phones. My Nokia justs lasts longer on wifi than the Windows.


        Any other questions, just post them up. Hopefully my answers get through to you guys and make sense.

          To Tassie, rx, and any other concerned E61 owner:

          I just want to know a few things. Why is it difficult for this phone to access a WiFi hot spot without getting the "NO Gateway Reply" or "WLAN not found" message. I don't have a laptop but from what I understand it seems easier to access these WiFi hotspots using one. It's nice to carry this phone instead of a laptop but I guess there are limitation to the phone.

          Also, does anyone know if Windows OS smartphones have less WiFi issues than symbian based? Don't have one either.

          Thanks Everyone!

            Thanks for your reply re my e61.

            I assume you mean the router Wifi. As faar as I know, they are public and have no password protection (My Dell laptop has no problems connescting to them)

            Any other ideas please guys?

              You need a gmail account or something like it to use the email function for this phone.
              But you can access hotmail through the web with this phone.

              To castillo:
              True, torrents are sometimes slow. I was just planning to use WiFi to grab songs on the go. It would take forever to d/l movies on this phone!!!

                    to madeline, the keypad is not hard to type. i don't know for those with big fingers. top of the buttons are coated with some kind of rubber, not slippery. the back of the casing is made of magnesium allow, sturdy. averall casing built is great.

                    i bought a krusell (www.kursell.se) case, type classic, red label. it's the only case that protects the keypad that i can find. but with the case, it's rather difficult to type. no choice :(

                              to Tassie, here's my experience:

                              if the wifi is not password protected, i have no problem connecting to it using dhcp.

                              if the wifi is password protected, i can't use dhcp, must use static ip.

                                  Hi guys

                                  Love my E61 except for the fact that I cannot access the Web. With all the advances in technology, I would have thought Nokia would have this right (or at least be able to put out options for dealing with the issue.

                                  Yes, I have the "No Gateway Reply" error. I have searched the web over the last couple of days and most of what I found says reconfigure the router. Fine, if you have access to the router!!!

                                  I want to access public Wifi spots as I am on the road almost everyday.

                                  I have set up access points and bookmarks for several public sites, but still get the same error message. I believe that it must be the phone that is the problem then

                                  I hope someone can help me. I was considering recommending this unit for our company (some 100 units) as we are looking for something like this, but this problem and the lack Nokia expertise to help fix it is scaring me away.

                                  Thanks in advance.

                                  Cheers

                                    Thats a nice application to get more than just MP3's. I use Demonoid.com, and usually theres lots of movies there which I download about 3-4 times a week. But the only disadvantage of using a torrent client, is the fact that someone has to upload/share the file. If you really want just MP3's, just go to a site that has direct server access to those files, faster downloads and faster response. But if you are patient, then the torrent client is a wonderful application. I must also say this is where Unlimited Data Plans comes in handy.

                                      There's a torrent software called Symtorrent out there now go find it. I have yet to test it out since my neighbor have locked the WiFi access! :(

                                        The HS-23 is a pop port headset, and does not need any adaptor. Though the HS-20 is a 3.5mm headset; it does need an adaptor. Now since you do own the HS-20 then you know what Im talking about, when I say that, headset sucks. I recommend the AD-41, like I said, but if you really cant find it then the AD-46 is fine.

                                        Harry:

                                        What program is it? Theres a reason why its not out for Symbian yet, because the symbian software encoding is very complex, and the way big software business sees it is that symbian is not that important. Tell me what the software is to see if I can gather more info on it.

                                        srk:

                                        Yes you can use MSN Messenger for this, and it works. Downloading songs through WLAN on this phone is a dream come true. But there arent any sites that can let you download almost any song to your phone without paying for it. Try http://www.gomusic.ru/, 15cents a song! So what I do is I go to Altavista.com on my phone, and then search the song through MP3/Audio search and download away. I was able to download a 9MB song in less than 12 secs. So its pretty fast.
