[rturozamora37a]

This video went viral on Niger

[amitdhimana]

when will nokia is going to launch this new firmware. am waiting

[vgplabs]

@amitdhimana I think we still wait for a couple of weeks for the "official" relase

[TheSameershinde]

What if Nokia releases PR2 for RM 675, Could we install it by flashing our phone again?

[vgplabs]

@TheSameershinde nokia still haven't released pr2 for all phones...like this...and as u can see the video is dated 4 months ago.. :)

[TheSameershinde]

And can we revert changes or install 675 back?

[vgplabs]

@TheSameershinde no because this device still not support downgrade.. but if you find some methods to do it probably you can...

[TheSameershinde]

did you check your 3g connection? bcoz i heard that it won't work if we install different rm on our device.

[vgplabs]

@TheSameershinde 3g connection works perfectly....

[BurakkuYume]

it is fake!! 

[vgplabs]

@BurakkuYume really? are u sure?? so why I'm selling exactly this phone with this firmware?!

[BurakkuYume]

@vgplabs Dude the icons of real PR 2.0 ANNA are different

[vgplabs]

@BurakkuYume nokia had changed it in new themes called "midnight"

[wkiat84]

symbian ^3 got app (talking box) like iphone ?



[vgplabs]

@monkeskater100 ahah i mean the software is rm-691 and the hardware is rm675

[hakkai999]

Let me ask though what bugs are there when you flash for RM-675?

[vgplabs]

@hakkai999 there are no bugs in this rom, only some limitations,because this is not an official relase and some things installed by t-mobile

[hakkai999]

@vgplabs What are the limitations? I dont mine the stuff installed by t-mobile though.

[vgplabs]

@hakkai999 when i said "limitations" i mean things like icons,new buils of browser and gallery who nokia installs on symbian anna "official"

[xNicholasZx]

7:40

[gatesheadquinn]

is it just t-mobile or other networks?

[vgplabs]

@gatesheadquinn works also with all networks, i have vodafone for example..

[de3pkeeper]

Jerky web browsing, dodgy embeded flash video support, low RAM, insufficient resources to support the multitasking capabilities of the OS. What are you waiting for? Get it at the price of a better Android device!

[hakkai999]

@de3pkeeper Low battery life, dodgy firmware updates, resource hog apps, hot potato battery.

[de3pkeeper]

@hakkai999 yeah, that falls behind the "...and much more!" slogan lol

[0shakti0]

The browser looks too much sluggish.

Mine Current PR1.0 of my N8 browser lots faster in scrolling and zomming the same nokia wikipedia page.

I might not update my phone if it did made the browser slower than now!!!

[vgplabs]

@0shakti0 browser now is improved, in symbian anna respect to this relase of pr2 is faster

[Charkatak]

The date that PR1.2 and PR2 for T-mobile, are almost the same. I thing PR1.2 says Mar 01 2011 and PR2.0 says Mar 04 2011, only 3 days older. So in this case that is why I can't flash PR2.0 with PR1.2 on my RM-691 :(

[vgplabs]

@Charkatak the date is not important..but the Build of firmware yes. Simply, you can't downgrade the OS.

[Charkatak]

Do you know if firmware PR1.2 v14.2 for European countries is older than PR2.0 from T-Mobile?

[vgplabs]

@Charkatak yes is older... All pr1.XX are older then new pr2.0

[fotosony]

@vgplabs PR 2.0 was already launched?

[vgplabs]

@fotosony yes,some months ago but nokia can't relase it.. If you can install it go to my post in dailymobile

forum. Is in the description

[Charkatak]

Thanks! So when you flashed your RM-675 to RM-691, did the flash also change your product code? On your video it shows RM-691 and the model of the phone, but I can't really see the product code.

[vgplabs]

@Charkatak :) yes, the flash also change change it! But I haven't show the prod.code because is not important. If you flash the phone you can use all product codes...

[Charkatak]

You think nokia has not decided yet about the release of Anna update to symbian? I have T-Mobile's phone RM-691 and for now I am at the original firmware which is PR.2.0 I hope nokia makes Anna for europe too, so I could flash my phone with Russian firmware, because now I am only stuck with Eng and some other languages.

[vgplabs]

@Charkatak nokia is taking too loooooong time...but will relase Anna in few weeks (I think...)

[Charkatak]

Doing different ways, works and flash starts, fine, so at the end, when it is done, phoenix can't communicate with the device. I am able to bring the phone back easily by doing dead phone flash with the original firmware. T-Mobile's firmware is newer than RM-675 firmware, that is why it isn't working. So I would have to wait until RM-675 releases PR2.0 update and then it should flash without problems.

[vgplabs]

@Charkatak wait my guide.. Today or tomorrow I think reveal how to flash it

[Charkatak]

You have mentioned that you flashed RM-675 with firmware from RM-691. What about the other way? I am about to buy C7 RM-691 from T-Mobile and flash it with RM-675 firmware from Russian region. Do you think it will work?

[vgplabs]

@Charkatak it'll works only in u upgrade the firmware.. Remember, you cant downgrade!

[Charkatak]

@vgplabs Yes, I know to only upgrade. I have flashed many phones, but now all of them really like to change the RM types. So this is how I would flash:

1) Make folder "RM-675" and put firmware files from RM-675 in it and move it to where phoenix looks at.

2) Then I would select no connection in phoenix and open a product RM-675.

So if my C7 is RM-691, I should select RM-675 because I want 675 firmware flash, right? Or would you suggest to make folder rm-691 and then put files from rm-675?

[vgplabs]

@Charkatak i've decided to write a guide... Today or tomorrow i think write and publish the official guide (how to flash rm691 in rm675)... Stay tuned! I'll write the guide in dailymobile forum, and probably phat^trance make an article on site... after this, i decide to switch to android os.

[elzobair3]

what the neme of this update

[vgplabs]

@elzobair3 symbian anna aka pr2.0

[MrThedude19]

but why?? And is it available in lebanon?

[MrThedude19]

and what are the risks if I would update my nokia c7 software?

[vgplabs]

@MrThedude19 lose the warranty and brick the phone... Not enough?

[MrThedude19]

now is that the astound?

[MrThedude19]

now is that the astound?

[King3zooz10]

IT Would be the Hugest update EVER

[ishida818]

why my c7 didn't shows any update about pr 2.0 ??

[vgplabs]

@ishida818 this update is not relased yet

[ishida818]

@vgplabs okay, i got it .. thanks ~

[vagos290189]

@danteedmund847 this is nokia astound's theme . pr 2.0 was fisrt released for the astound so its possible they didn't include the new icons

[vgplabs]

@danteedmund847 font is the same.. theme is the (default) nokia midnight..

[q8phantom]

Can we see how nimbuzz is affected by the new keyboard!

[vgplabs]

@q8phantom no...nimbuzz still not support split screen keyboard.. :(

[q8phantom]

I don't need the browser, it seems that opera have already done a great job, in less time with opera 11, give me the qwerty and swype, I'll be more than happy ;)

Thank you!

[stevenojops]

Hahah iPhone browser style and Android keyboard style transition exactly like iPhone only two things Nokia forget about it the full multitouch and flash 10.1:)

[morell21212]

when is come for RM-675

[vgplabs]

@morell21212 at the end of this month or next month

[55hashim55]

where ican download this tell me

isup

[nyakudjga]

what a joke firmware. i guess u get what u paid for

[SuperDon10000]

i have got tons of that watch ,y vid



[HokiesACC]

Still haven't brought back missing functionality in the music player, like adding a song to a playlist from the "Now Playing" screen. Very disappointing.

[07liberian]

@HokiesACC That Sounds More Like A Nitpick Than A Real Problem...To Add A Song From Now Playing, Press Back And Then Long Press On The Song You Want To Add To A Playlist.

It's Simple:)

[HokiesACC]

@07liberian I know that, and it's unacceptable if you want a user friendly UX. What's worse is that on the N97, and every other Symbian powered Nokia device all the way back to my N75, you had that option from the now playing screen. That's well thought out and user friendly. So what gives here? Having to do another step just to do that is not well thought out. Even on the Galaxy S, the option is right there. It's not about just having that option somewhere, but having it where it needs to be.

[07liberian]

@HokiesACC Is The Issue More About Where The Option Is Supposed To Be Or Where You Are Used To Seeing The Option ?

That 1 Step Really Is Not That Big Of A Deal, It's Just Something You Have To Adapt To. If You Were To Get A Galaxy S You Would Have To Adapt To A Hell Of Alot More Than Adding A Song.....

[HokiesACC]

@07liberian It's about where it's supposed to be. Even if I had never used anything else, I would still think it's stupid that you can't add to a playlist while you're at the now playing screen. The logic behind why it should be there is undeniable. Yes, I'm glad that it exists when you back out to the songs list, but that should be that way. I have a Galaxy S, and the music player doesn't require any adapting to. It's very easy to use and everything is where it should be. You didn't like it?

[07liberian]

@HokiesACC I Think They Put The Add To Playlist Option On The Song List Because It's Easier To Add Multiple Songs To A Particular Playlist Than On The Now Playing Screen, On The Now Playing Screen You Would Be Restricted To Adding 1 Song To A Playlist At A Time.

I Don't Like Androids (Especially The SGS) Or iPhones Because In My Area Having A Android Phone Or iPhone Is Like Having A Girlfriend That EVERYBODY Has Been With :(:(

[HokiesACC]

@07liberian I agree that if you're adding multiple songs to a playlist, having that functionality in the songs list is logical. But let's say you're randomly listening to a song, and want to add it to a new playlist. It would be logical to do it from the screen you're on, rather than go to a different one.

As far as iOS and Android go, it's all about what you want as a user. iOS doesn't meet my needs, but SGS Android can, but it also needs better battery life, Ovi Suite, and Nokia hardware.

[morell21212]

how i can fo pr2 for my c7 rm-675

[MyleneFan93]

Is there a purple issue?

[vgplabs]

@MyleneFan93 where???

[KBBFTT]

what is the "intranet" application ??

is it just for the C7 ?

[vgplabs]

@KBBFTT never tried it, I think is part of 50+ great features of new pr2 for symbian3

[gurveersingh]

Symbian will only be good/Fast/efficient if Nokia had upgraded to 1Ghz Qualcomm. Until then, the above video is all you will get to experience on your C7.

[07liberian]

@gurveersingh Symbian With This FIrmware Already Looks Pretty Damn "good/Fast/efficient" In This Video For Having A 680 Mhz CPU, Having A 1 Ghz CPU Would Be Overkill....Especially For The Battery Life.

Instead Of Getting A Faster CPU That Will Drain Power, Nokia Should Just Keep Improving The Software. Besides The Browser It's Near Perfect.

[REICHSKE]

@gurveersingh Oh please, 1 Ghz yes, Qualcomm please no, their architecture blows.

[gnus7]

your online speed is too slow....

[vgplabs]

@gnus7 my connection works fast...is the browser too slow sometimes...but is improved..

[07liberian]

Instead Of Creating A New Browser, Why Don't Nokia Just Intergrate The Opera 10.1 Into The OS Because I Doubt The Finished Product Will Be As Good As Opera Anyway.

[ffaarrooqq]

Web browser had to be improved.....

[vgplabs]

social v1.3, no multitouch keyboard but you can active the "predictive text" (the same as t9)

[rabin273]

@vgplabs Sighh. thats not good enough, can you imagine if they included multi touch into the t9 ?

it would have been soo much faster to type with

[rabin273]

Does it have multi touch in the qwerty keyboard and t9 ?

I really have to know this :(

Pls..

[Camb078]

What is the version of the Nokia Social app? Still v1.3?

[digitulpunk]

Looks like the browser still sucks, pathetic. Everything else = gold.

[REICHSKE]

@digitulpunk Yeah, everything else looks really good, even NFC :)

[DIMA55333]

is it able to have alphanumeric keyboard in portrait . ? or the old qwerty keyboard on landscape ?

[vgplabs]

@DIMA55333 yes

[DIMA55333]

in settings or in sms options ?



[vgplabs]

@DIMA55333 sms options...also found in the keyboard options (copy/paste/imput options........and full screen qwerty)

[DIMA55333]

oke thanks ... ! also pls last question... do u find new web browser better than last one ?

[vgplabs]

@DIMA55333 yes, the rendering is better especially in wap sites but is not good in full web

sites... I think the problem regards hardware 2D acceleration..browser probably isnt full accelerated.
