Hello Ray/ @Ray,
Hope all is well. First I have a comment and then a question. You have been brilliant!!! I really hope you could help. Plus you were right, ever since upgrading to Belle I don't have the "maximum connections in use" issue anymore.
Comment
Since upgrading to Belle my battery life has dropped massively. I have to charge it at least twice a day whereas prior to Belle i.e. Anna; charging once took me through the whole day.
Question
My N8 with Anna, by pressing on the battery icon you could tell how much battery power you had left (25%, 50%...etc) Is there anyway I can do that with Belle? With the rate a which my Battery dies I really need to be able to monitor my power usage.
Thanks A Billion Ray!!!
Take Care Amigo.
Drew.

One other thing I miss in Belle in compared to Anna. Remember, Anna had this Notification widget? Suppose someone called me & I missed it. When I notice it, it's too late (like late in the night) & deciding that I will call that person later, I could keep the notification active to remind me in the morning (when I would look at my phone I would still see the missed call & would call the number). But in Belle, I don't have that option. Again, the messages & missed calls don't come to the notification area. Then what is the use of notification area? See Android's notification area for the example, it gives you all the notifications you want to see. In my opinion, the notification area is not complete, it is full of bugs.
Keep N8-ing

@ N8 and me
I haven't updated my phone to Belle beca... moreVery good decision, Ray. I wish I would at least keep one of my N8 in Anna. Right now I'm super frustrated. Until the bugs are fixed, please, DO NOT UPDATE. That's a request/advice from a suffered friend.

DK, 13 Feb 2012It’s been 3 days I’ve updated mine still lot more to learn ... moreDear DK,
Thanks for your reply. But sorry, don't mind, you didn't understand half of my speech here & held it against me. I'm trying to clarify them here:
1. When in Anna, I used to keep only two folders in my main menu screen, other 10 were applications. The folders contained the subfolders to get more applications. Suppose, I had folder 'A' & folder 'B' in my main menu. Both had subfolder 'A1' & 'A2" & 'B1' & 'B2' inside which had applications sorted in different criteria. I had Folder 'A1', 'A2', 'B1' & 'B2' in my homescreen for quick access. So I didn't need to press more times to access those applications in those folders. Now, if I put folders in my main menu, think how many folders do I need to keep: Office, Games, Gadgets, Entertainment, Logic (contains settings apps), Desk (contains special apps like Vlingo & timer etc). If already six of my places are taken by folders, where is the place for applications like google maps, recorder, Opera Mobile, FM Radio, Settings (main), Photo Editor, Video Editor, Messaging, LinkedIn, Adobe Reader, QuickOffice etc? Those are some of the apps I use most frequently. The thing I'm saying is, if there was option like before, then both you (who want flat menu) & me (who want folders & sub-folders) would be happy. What was wrong with being both happy? Besides, in iOS & Android, you have pages for apps. You know that you'll find a certain app in a certain page. In Symbian^3 series (Belle), if you scroll, you don't know where you'll stop (based on your scrolling pressure, it'll stop closer or further). So, to find a certain app, it takes more time than in Android or iOS.
2. I didn't get any 'Activate Voice Command Application' anywhere. Can you please describe how can I reach to that point? I have Vlingo, but using a third party software for something I already had, isn't that being stupid? Please, pretty please, guide me how can I activate the voice DIALING, not command (FYI, voice dial can dial a contact by recognising your said name, specially helpful when I'm driving a car & cannot look at the screen of the phone, I just double press the call button of my bluetooth car handsfree & it waits for the name.)
3. I never said that the music player widget or mail widget is NOT AWESOME, they are GREAT. But they were supposed to have more sizes available (up to five).
4. The lock screen clock DOES NOT go off. I checked it by putting it under a pillow (the proximity sensor part) & waited a few minutes. It never went off. Might happen that some options are there which I have missed, but you activated.
5. I didn't say I have ANY issue on multiple marking in gallery. All I said is that previously it needed only a single click (just the check mark icon) to activate multiple marking option. Now I have to click option > Mark/Unmark > Mark Multiple Items (3 clicks) to do the same. Won't you agree that 3 clicks are more than 1 click? That's all I said, nothing else.
6. I didn't say the call log option (30 days) is not available. I said, both the buttons do the same - bring the same window. It would have been better, if one of it would bring up the detailed call log menu.
Please, try to understand while you read. I hope you don't mind me correcting you. Even if you do, I needed to correct you, so that you don't mislead people understanding what I'm trying to say.
Keep N8-ing

Belle is really a good addition to Symbian devices and I am more than happy with it on my N8.
I do need a great support from Symbian^3 users and Nokia fans in order to improve this refined experience even much more useful and easy. For the purpose on the following link I place some concept and ideas and please if you can, give your feedback about it.
Just to be clear that site is not my personal site and my only objective is to do something for Symbian.

If you're having trouble with updating qt, try downloading the most recent version of the Nokia store at Nokia's beta labs site. That's what worked for me.
