A question for anyone who may know: is belle refresh update still available? I got it Ota when it was first launched, but i had to reinstall software and now it's gone.... My n8 is back at the 2011 symbian version and no 'Refresh' is shown anymore neither through regular updates app nor device manager updates option

files if 'open4all' patched

AnonD-20890, 19 Aug 2013Carol, Whats this? http://www.wondershare.com/android... moreIt is just a file manager. You can transfer files, copy paste, install uninstall and so on. Not something verrrry interesting. Would be good for ios (cause is a crap os and you cannot do that) but androcrap is a Symbian wannabe, so as far as i know you can do all of this without a special app... or?

Stupid me, 20 Aug 2013Oh mih Lord! I swear this is the most entertaining site. I ... moreHave fun. :-) It recognizes commands as "camera" or "what time is it"... You can see the full list in Settings - Phone - Voice commands. Actually I just whisper "camera" and it turns the camera on... However, after that it doesn't react to "shoot" or "take a photo" or "snap!!!" so I guess it needs some improvement. :-)
Zedge is a website with ringtones, themes, wallpapers etc for mobile phones. I have a page there (with 700000 downloads and counting) and just thought you might want to continue the chat there as I could post more links but since you don't know what it is, never mind. ;-)

I'm going to check out what you mentioned and get back to you. Zedge sounds like something I should have, only thing is, I don't know what it is. I'll google it. There's some stuff on this page that I haven't got a clue about, like exFAT and FAT 32. Hm.
BTW. I looked at all the links and really enjoyed them.

I promise you I'll be the first in line when they are giving away the S4 for free. Meanwhile, I'll stick with my wonderful N8.

Stupid me, 20 Aug 2013Hi MdN
Thanks for sharing that wonderful article with us... moreHey, thanks for reading. :-) I see there were 50 more comments since last night, all good. Hah, YouTube... my PC is sometimes too slow as well, so I mostly use my N8, the FastTube app. Or I download a video and watch it later on PC or N8, actually I prefer watching stuff on my N8 now. I don't have to sit in the same position and sometimes I just fall asleep on my bed watching something and wake up at 5 in the morning wondering what happened. :-) Some people wouldn't watch videos on 5-inch HD displays because they are "too small" but I'm watching movies and documentaries on my phone. Well I grew up with a black & white TV so maybe it's all a matter of perspective. :-) As for documentaries, I guess you can find most of them on YouTube, also there are National Geographic and CNN apps for Symbian, so it's not too bad. I tried some internet TV app too, but it was like "first check out this advertisement and then you can maybe watch the video" so I forgot it. Nokia internet radio works great, though.
Well it's a special phone with a story and people behind it. They just don't make them like this any more, there's a new "flagship" phone every 6 months, and most of them become forgotten when an upgrade comes with more cores. With the N8 it was more like "okay, enough is enough, it does everything I need fairly well so let's stop here". I like using it too, and that's more important than what the media or whoever thinks that we "should" be using. Btw, do you have a Zedge account? Just wondering. ;-)

To all :
Sandisk ultra class 10 micro SD card was detected* (at 59.3 GB) in Nokia N8-00**, Nokia N79** and in Nokia 5320** !!!.
* means - The default file system was exFAT. I have formatted using FAT 32 formatting tool (at 4096 bytes per cluster) PC tool. It took 2 to 3 minutes.
** means - Even though the 64 GB card is usable in the above phones, you cannot format in Nokia N8-00 (you will get error) and there was no format option in Nokia N79 and Nokia 5320.
Note : I have not loaded the card full of videos and tested. Just inserted and tedted. Working.

MdN cont'd
Oops! I think the cat got my mouse which is behaving erratic. Yes, as I was saying - I will treasure my phone now and hope it becomes a collector's item in years to come :-). I just re-categorized it as a BMW :-)
Thanks also for the info about the flash player and to Carol too. It's Ok if I can't see some videos. It won't kill me. As a matter of fact, I can't even remember now what was the documentary I so badly wanted to see last week :-). That's human interest for you - here today and gone tomorrow. Keep well.

Thanks for sharing that wonderful article with us! Your post was great too. What you wrote and how you did it brought you to life on my PC screen. I looked at dot and can't believe my phone can do that! I'll look at the other videos for sure but my PC is sooo slow at night for videos, it's frustrating. I'm looking at my phone in a whole new, different light. I won't be surprised
