I saw these videos two days ago, but I wasn’t sure whether they were a reupload so I didn’t post them as I think I’ve watched them elsewhere before (plus the date on the tweet screenshots say 25th August). This first batch is from Nokia Sweden. But Nokia Suomi also posted up a new video [...]
You must have already seen the Qt “Play To” app by now, if not, read it here . In that post, we had a few puzzled users who didn’t know how to connect their device to a PC, some users suggested the highly acclaimed XBMC for streaming, but i always knew there were simpler ways, [...]
Here’s something weird and neat. I’m sure you see all the time on YouTube video comments, silly instructions telling you to press this or comment certain words and something happens, or you’ve got to do something to prevent your imminent death because you read a comment. Aaanyway, I actually tried one that said you could [...]
Prior to the Nokia N8 I relied on the N82 for product shots. Yes, I could have used a digicam but I just like the simplicity of sending a bunch of photos over bluetooth. No looking for wires, removing any memory cards, just click and send. Anyway, I was checking out the N8 to see [...]
Topolino70 has produced some of the most stunning Nokia N8 videos we’ve seen thus far including: Among these include some really close up shots. But the N8 has an Active Hyper-Focal lens – i.e. no autofocus but everything beyond the macro region is in focus. In the video below, Topolino70 shares how he attaches his [...]
Now for some reason or another, the Symbian^3 homescreen introduces a perceivable “lag” when switching between screens. This is apparently designed that way (due to the active widgets on screen). The homescreen lag is less visible when in landscape (where the swipe movement would be more obvious than a possible mispress in landscape. You could [...]

Want a change from the connecting people hands as your startup? With the N900 you can change the video at bootup/startup. This can be any short clip that the N900 is able to play. Preferably “.avi”. Instructions on how to do this yourself are at the end of this post. Below are some examples of [...]
If you delved into the realms of “Extras Testing” applications, an app there may possibly have caused a fault in your N900 giving you “Unable to install __insert__app_name” errors. Since Christmas day I’ve been unable to find the answers to fix Unable to install ‘Bounce Evolution’ Unable to install ‘Hermes’ Unable to install ‘MooBox’ etc. [...]

[App Manager>Download>Refresh] With the app manager you can download lists of applications from predefined [...]
This is a quick video that shows how to remove the battery cover and also how to insert a wrist strap. The back cover mechanism has been gradually refined over the years with Nseries. I remember the flimsy connecting stubs of the N95 and N93′s battery covers; they were so weak, they broke if you [...]
If you’re unfortunate enough to encounter a problem on your Nokia N97, a hard reset maybe what you need to do. This wipes the entire phone memory and settings fresh to how it was (or should be) when you bought it. It’s also useful if you’re also unfortunate enough to have to send away your [...]
The Nokia N97 has a compass mainly for rotating your maps to align with the roads/surroundings as you turn your phone. It doesn’t rotate instantly towards north like a real compass – and so, needs a bit of calibration, which according to the manual, the method is to swing your phone in an 8-shape like [...]
