    Anonymous, 23 Sep 2013I’m taking that “Security alert” as an information update. ... moreJust resting here. N8 had a baptism by fire yesterday when we went to the forest to get some wood for the winter, in-between work sessions I managed to take some 120 photos, slip and fall on my back/phone (phone being in the case on my belt), used some navigation, did some calls and web browsing with 1 remaining signal bar, and there was still some 55-60% of battery left when I got home 11 hours later. Phone is OK, I'm not. :-))) Just a few scratches and sunburn, no big deal.

    It's not MY petition but someone else's. I posted a link here but it was removed. Anyway, it's at 1200-something signatures, AAS and MNB reposted it. I don't expect it to change anything but it's nice to see people care, and the top rated comment was by the guy who made my favorite app. :-) It's like a small family.

    Good luck with the mix, I think I've loaded all my favorite songs into my phone. More than 200, plus a few albums. Mostly I just use them as a "quick fix" when I'm in a bad mood I just put my headphones on and play 5-6 songs. If I want to listen to a full CD I'll use my stereo or PC, just a habit, but then if I had to travel I'd be using the N8 for longer listening sessions too. Wish I had enough space to put my whole 4000-album collection on it, but then it would take me 400 minutes to find something. :-)

        I am not saying the below matter for boasting. But real :

        I am using Nokia 5320 expressmusic, Nokia N79, Nokia N8-00, Nokia 1280 and Samsung N7100.

        The first 3 being Symbian phones, good interface.

        Do you know that you can move your SMS / MMS to customized folders under 'my folders' in the 'messaging' area?. This option is missing in all android phones. So this limitation is preventing me to use Samsung N7100 as my primary phone.

          Great phone. Still loving it, its design which predates the N9, Symbian OS(although stuck at Belle Refresh). Only can be topped by 808 which I am using now. :)

Have no other choice, especially as they threw in advice to download some Anti virus something (app probably) to protect against attack. No options were provided to treat with any virus. The only option I got was to “View details” which pulled up their web page. So, that’s it.

            Oh! I saw an option to uninstall apps on NetQin and tried it on the weather app that came with the N8, which did not work, refused to be uninstalled and which went into the “Extras” file. Well it disappeared. I can’t believe it, so I’ll look more thoroughly to see if it is not still lurking somewhere.

            I opted to do a full scan again on the PC and I saw some Nokia stuff being scanned but it may not be stuff on the N8 itself. I’ll think about it some more. I’ve also reconsidered installing any other Security system as that may just cause conflict. Oh! You don’t have to look at anything. I was just saying what I liked which is not necessarily what you or anybody else might like. I did not know something was wrong with who published it ;-D. Couldn’t care less who it was. I like the arrangement, the music, the instruments, the lyrics and the voice. Good enough for me. I like Celine Dion, Sissel, Groban - hm, just too many - and I really could not care less about the publishers. Today, I downloaded some, so in time, I’ll end up with a nice mix - to my taste of course :-), and I don’t want to just listen to the songs alone! I want to look at the N8 screen! Yes! The strings held up :-))) and it was actually quite rollicking. Later in the week I’ll see about new ones. Hope you get through with the petition, but hardly likely, I think.

              Anonymous, 22 Sep 2013Aha! Finally got the link at the bottom to go to the site a... moreI don't get that part either. Maybe the virus doesn't let you uninstall some other applications? Hmmm. That was my first thought anyway, or it's a part of some app. Well, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's strange how you can't get an option to remove it. Maybe if you tried some other antivirus, but then I think two at once might not be a good idea and you use Netqin for other stuff too. Same for PC, if you have MSE there's no point in getting another one, because whatever you do the antivirus has to check, or lock/unlock files, so imagine if two were trying to do it at once. Of course, if you can completely disable MSE... Generally, I think Avira has the best level of detection but a bit less features. I had AVG and NOD32 before, but stuck with Avira, it's lightweight and efficient (sort of like Symbian)... Or it was, lately it needs way more RAM than it should and they said they're fixing that, and I'm still waiting. Meh. Does MSE let you choose what drives to scan? With Avira I can just right-click on anything to choose to scan it. But I don't think you'll find much on the phone, especially if you're mostly using Opera Mini. It's just not a system where PC viruses would know what to do. :-) OK, I admit I downloaded some cracked software from a weird site and Avira found a virus when I tried to open it. Glad that it was still on my N8!

              Ahem, I was almost gonna check that song out but when I saw who published it I decided against it. :-) Last night I discovered Stahlhammer's cover of Falco's Jeanny (not BM but pretty awesome) and got a bit obsessed with it, tonight I'm off to watch Sharknado for a laugh. Couldn't find a N8 friendly version and can't be bothered to convert it so it will have to be PC, but I'll survive. :-) Fishing line??? That's an idea though I'd think it would be too thin. I hope it made it through the day. :-) Hah, OK, your lively strumming destroys the strings faster than tremolo speed-picking. Makes sense actually, if you play faster you can't use too much force.

              Just signed some petition for Nokia to unlock the Symbian bootloaders. Probably pointless, but as usual, adding my little bit to changing the world and hoping some of it gives a result in some way, somehow.

                Is there any way to transfer all the SMS (including those in the sub folders under 'my folders' area) from N8 to Samsung N7100?.

                              Maybe it helps... If not, I guess you will have to hack your phone and run the Mobile Cleaner app, or try cleaning junk with Netqin (see the comments below)... Or reinstall the software as a last resort.

Finally got the link at the bottom to go to the site after umpteen attempts! It would start downloading then stop before the page comes up. It finally opened to NetQin Web Page. On the page, there is a description of “Symbian Virus” among other things (including links to android, iphone & other viruses).

                                      Then there is a description of how it affects your phone (which you gave). I’m not clear on: “Meanwhile the applications are fail to uninstall which leads to mobile risks”. Viruses are rogue applications? I never thought of them in that light. Then there is a link to: “Download latest antivirus software to get your phone protected now”. I tried to download it but nothing happened and the page disappeared. It may be easier to get it on the PC. So now, it looks self-explanatory. It looks more like, “Danger, pothole ahead.”

                                      “Scan the PC” – well unfortunately, that is all it is doing. Scanning itself alone :-/. There is no option to scan any device like the N8. I gave it a full scan and thankfully, it is clear. Most important, the PC is once again “protected” with Windows Defender (which was what had refused to come back on). I was wondering, if I attach the N8 and give the PC another full scan, maybe it will scan the phone too, as it is attached to the PC. You think it is worth a try? Well, the PC has only the security that it came with, which is Microsoft Security Essentials. Maybe I should install some other security system as well – like Avira that you mentioned or McAfee (if there is any free version :-).

                                      This week, I’ll definitely have to go and get a pre-paid debit card to get stuff on line for my N8. The first thing I’ll buy is that YouTube Downloader Pro by KM Software. But honestly, I like to watch the scenes of the You tube downloads. The reproduction is so GREAT on the N8 screen. You know my favourite song? Well I found it with a lovely sunset beach scene and I find it so soothing. Then You raise me up by Celtic Woman (should be women) has really fabulous background colours that look fantastic on the N8 screen too. Only Robin Mark’s Revival is real drab, but the lyrics so reflect society and he sings so powerfully. Yeah, I real like his voice :-)! Have to look for some more – lots more because I’ve gotten greedy now. I’ll top them off with one of your black metal samples but I’ve a feeling I’ll have to wring your arm for that :-D. I solved my guitar string problem. I used nylon fishing line for the 2nd string and took off the 4th from my old guitar. I’m sure it will pop tomorrow, but I’m hoping it will hold out for the hour. And I use a pick, not my finger nails :-D. All we need is a lively strum because we are a rhythmic people. You can take the deadest song and put a lively beat and everybody is happy – and that is what counts. Hope you enjoyed your walk and rest.
