Ah, I’m still here, posting from my phone (needing to take screenshots) I’m sure you’ve encountered the annoying camera shutter sound that accompanies screenshots. It gets awkward at times when you have to explain to friends or worse, strangers that you weren’t taking a sly photo. The solution is simple. Turn off camera sounds in [...]
Current smartphones with unibodies and sealed batteries often mean that they lack MicroSD expansion (exception, perhaps N8). The much slimmer Nokia Lumia 720 doesn’t have a user removable battery but you can get the MicroSD out in the same way as a SIM Card. Just push a pin into the pinhole (key provided in [...]
Something that has been bugging myself, as well as many of you, seems to be the fact that Windows Phone automatically displays US Holidays with no obvious way to change it. Well I have found a way, and will split it up into the PC component and the Phone component. Note: This will require a [...]
Whilst my inexorably slow computer gets around to rendering my unboxing of the Nokia Lumia 820 and accessories, here’s a video to show how to remove the back cover. The Nokia Lumia 820 feels really solid, like the battery is almost sealed in. It doesn’t look like the back cover should come off, but as [...]
Just saw this on TMO during a Uni break. There is this thing called Project N955. The aim of the project is to turn an N9 into an N950. It isn’t the most elegant, or perfect solution, but it works. HtheB posted his process as follows; I bought a cheap iPhone bluetooth slide-case, and a [...]
![#N9Hacks: Overclock your N9(50) to 1.1 GHz [PR 1.2]](http://mynokiablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/white-n9.jpg "#N9Hacks: Overclock your N9(50) to 1.1 GHz [PR 1.2]")
Sorry it has been ages guys, but here is a pretty nice hack I have found, that lets you overclock your N9/N950s. MYNOKIABLOG, NOR MYSELF, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS OR CONSEQUENCES BEYOND THIS POINT So, firstly, download INCEPTION along with Opensh and aegisctl (all can be found on inception home page). Download this zip [...]
That’s right folks, I have successfully booted all three OSes on my device. Not really a use for it, but the fact I did is really cool in itself. I’m not sure how many people want to know how to do it, or not, but it is good to share knowledge. I will divide this [...]
We opened up a new page yesterday called, “Ask a Nokian”. http://mynokiablog.com/tips/ask-a-nokian/ I often get emails directed to me as if I was Nokia customer support. Whilst I try to reply to as many as I can, there’s so much more that I’ve missed which is a shame as I’d like to help [...]
So if you follow me on twitter, you would know that I had flashed Nemo to my N950 and was fiddling with dual booting. Below is the video I made. It is simple enough really. Turn the phone on like normal, be prompted with a few warnings and a standby screen featuring green text. Now, [...]
I was looking at some dev guidelines to help me with my latest app endeavor, and stumbled across a QT wiki page detailing how you can get QT 5 onto your N9. It is pretty simple, but does involve some terminal work. While there is no official support for Qt5 on Nokia N9 and N950 [...]
I’ve shown you how to select which browser you want to act as default, using an app. Sadly, Opera which we brought to your attention yesterday (as well as Helium Web Browser) doesn’t register on this app. To make it your default, follow the instructions below. As always, no responsibility if you brick your device,and [...]
Here’s Nokia’s video on how to make those classic Nokia Squircle style icons for Symbian. You don’t just have to use these for a Symbian app. You can perhaps use them in other places where you find the squircle shape to be an appropriate. You want to – use your own glyph in svg format [...]
I came across this by complete accident. Apologies if this has been shown. When you turn on the Lumia, you are asked to create a Live account, in order to access Skydrive and Marketplace, along with other services. Just now, I was fiddling with Windows Live in order to configure some push services with my [...]
Remember the post where we talked about some Voice Command features for the Nokia Lumia? There’s a really neat feature that I didn’t get to demo personally because I didn’t have it activated (and didn’t see it in settings at the time). The feature you may have seen before allows you to get the phone [...]
The amazing people at Nokia Connects were nice enough to send me a Lumia 800 to trial out for a while, so first off a shout out them for making this possible, they have some truly wonderful people working for them. Now a bit about the extent of my relationship with OSes other than Symbian/S^3, [...]
I’ve brought you information on MeeGo 1.3 CE aka Nemo for the N950, and told you there was talk about it on the N9. Well, a few weeks ago, I found a guide on how to install it to the N9. With this method, the N9 installs Nemo, without removing the Meego-Harmattan OS. It is [...]
I’ve shown you how to change your clock colour, now lets take a look at altering the operator logo. Some devices are said to come to with operator logos, if they own a branded Nokia N9. There are a few apps out there, that simply allow you to select an image and use it as [...]
I have actually got two mods to share with you today, both relating to the browser. The first alters a few settings that change the default action when opening a file. (This applies to the browser, as the browser “opens” files not necessarily saving them. Apparently the file manager saves them.) I have altered the [...]
So my trial device Lumia 800 is finally here! Already in love, I’m currently looking for countries where Nokia can’t extradite me back to Finland for ‘Product Theft’. Now once I got the 800 I realized that I didn’t have a tripod for my N8-00 to film the unboxing/review with, and that’s when my ingeniousness kicked in (sometimes I surprise [...]
This isn’t really that surprising, that we see Themes for the N9. There is an app, suitably called Theme Changer, that allows you to apply custom themes. It is not without its issues of course. The first major hurdle was emoticons. On theme change, the emoticon files get corrupted, but there is a simple enough [...]
Like most community developed hack apps, they can be done using Terminal. Apps just make it easier for those not comfortable with modifying system files. App developer Vesuri has made and app known as “Home Screen Settings”, which simply adds to the settings menu. Once installed, navigate to Settings>Applications>Home Screen. Not only can you [...]
