Crap, proximity sensor on my 920 is acting up. I can see dust having built up in the front-facing camera, and it seems reasonable to speculate that the same has happened in the proximity sensor. Anyone had these problems before?

Man, I can't believe I'm actually considering buying a n9. I've held on to my E72 for almost 4 years now thinking they would have to release some kind of compelling product but I'm drawing a blank.

Be sure to get the Nokia branded case with the cover. The hump scratches easily. Also get a tripod adapter. You can do some really cool poo poo playing with the settings. If you take it to concerts, turn off image stabilization for video.

I just read this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/20/microsoft_nokia_merger_no_go/ quote:Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's mobile phone business – the deal you probably assumed would happen sooner or later – has been scuppered before talks were even made public, according to a new report.

Dr Tran posted:The sunset is coming into view: I'd actually disagree with pretty much everything in that article. Microsoft is interested in Nokia because Windows phone right now lives and dies with Nokia. The fact that Microsoft isn't going to by Nokia doesn't necessarily mean that Nokia will now throw itself at any suitor. Nokia is a shadow of itself but if anything is on a slow upswing. Other than Microsoft, there isn't really anyone else who is in a position to make Nokia an offer better than going it alone. In regards to Nokia's windows phone exclusivity, I said this without knowing the true development costs with Android, but if feasible, they probably would be better off with phones in both ecosystems. That said, Nokia androids would be in a similar position as HTC. They wouldn't be able to match Samsung's vertical integration or advertising. At least now, Microsoft shares some of the advertising budget. Additionally, carriers are genuinely interested in a third ecosystem hence Verizon advertising for Nokia as well. They lose all of that with Android. That said, their brand cachet would give them more sales in Europe with Android more likely.

This is kind a longshot in a thread that's been dead for a couple of weeks, but does anyone have an E71 sitting around in a drawer somewhere that they'd be willing to use to wipe a microSD card for me with? I just upgraded to a Lumia 521 from a 1st gen Windows Phone 7 device and the 32GB card I had in the old phone can apparently only be formatted by certain vintage Symbian devices.

If the disk shows up under Windows can't you clear the partitions off/format using the Disk Management utility under Administrative Tools?

Protocol7 posted:If the disk shows up under Windows can't you clear the partitions off/format using the Disk Management utility under Administrative Tools? Windows' built in disk manager can only see the first partition on SD cards. If you have more than one, you'll need some software like EaseSUS Partition Master that can read all of the partitions on the card and wipe out what you don't want.

Peven Stan posted:Man that's really weird. I have an E72, would that work? Yea that should work. I PMed you. So the longer story is that Windows Phone 7 implemented a pretty uncommon portion of the SD card spec that sets a unique password on the card itself that binds the card to devices that know the password. It's uncommon enough that Windows, Linux and Mac don't support reading, writing or formatting cards that have this thing enabled. I have a nice cardreader on my laptop and it sees the disk but diskpart and format both refuse to touch it. Most devices ignore the card as if it isn't inserted. Anyways, Nokia apparently implemented support for this weirdo security in certain versions of Symbian. If you're interested there's a bit of discussion here: http://lifeinthefastlaneok.wordpress.com/2010/11/20/microsd-card-use-with-windows-phone-7-device/

Where did it go so wrong for Nokia? They *used* to be the biggest and the best; everyone I knew had a Nokia be it the 5110, or the 8190 later on. Hell the E7 I have is the only phone on the market that suits my tastes in phone with a nice querty keyboard (I hate touch screen keypads). Shame I will never get an upgrade to the E7.

I'm going on vacation in November and I wouldn't mind a rechargeable battery pack, just as a backup, for my Lumia 920. I'm hoping to find one that has a micro-usb male cable included, and at the very least be good for a full charge. I'd like something small-wallet-sized - like, half the thickness of a deck of cards or so. Any recommendations? The Mophie Juicepack Micro looks about ideal but it doesn't list the 920 as being compatible.

Not sure if wallet sized and good for a full charge is possible anymore. I scored a Nokia DC-16 at Comic-Con. It can fill up my 808. Not worth the $40 it sells for. This similar one seems to have good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower%C2%A...75494057&sr=1-5

Nokia started to lose ground when Apple changed the phone game to quality over quantity whereas Nokia was all about the quantity. They put out too many phones too fast. It was like a constant cycle of beta testing because they could never focus on a particular phone long enough to work out the bugs. I think what kept Nokia from righting the ship earlier was that they would always point to their strong feature phone sales and emerging markets sales for low-end smartphones as evidence that everything was fine. Meanwhile, Android snuck up from behind and took those away too.

Not only that, but before Apple and Android hit, if you wanted to upgrade your smartphone's OS, you had to buy a new smartphone. Never mind that the one you have is actually technically better, they're still going to put out a slightly inferior model with newer software  That being said I still kind of miss my N82 / N8. If it wasn't for the awful email client and inferior onscreen keyboard I'd probably still be using my N8. Sometimes I'm half tempted to jump into the 808 but I need something more mobile-officey now that I'm never home. WorldWarWonderful fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Aug 3, 2013 |

Doomsday Jesus posted:Where it did for everyone else, the iPhone came out while riding the huge wave of iPod popularity. And it was then two years before Nokia released a flagship phone with a touchscreen, which even then was resistive rather than capacitive, which was dogged with software bugs, which ran an OS less sexy to the general public than iOS and actually still had a hardware keyboard. Firmware bugs aside I loved the N97. But then the problem was Nokia didn't need a phone geeks liked, they needed a phone that everyone liked. People say Nokia used to be full of engineers - well it showed in how they handled the iPhone; technically their response was correct, in reality it was awful. I think the N97 was 'the moment'. It still generated enough interest to have dragged them back into the game, but post that everything has been catch up. And that's coming from a European where Nokia wasn't already fighting an uphill battle with people's phone buying habits.

I think the N95 and N82 era was the peak. After that, it was downhill. The N95 was the phone everyone wanted. The problem was that smartphone software and culture just hadn't matured enough at the time for it to go huge. The data plans were nowhere near competitive as well. In Canada, it used to cost a ton of money per month just for 25MB of data. That plus if you wanted a Nokia smartphone in North America, you had to buy one at full price rather than get one from a carrier on subsidy, so it was too expensive for a lot of people. And even then it was usually an import phone that Nokia USA or Canada refused to support and may or may not have had North American GSM/3G bands. Really, a large of Nokia's failure on the smartphone front could be chalked up to the way they said "gently caress you" to North America for too long. They were too content with their sales in Europe and Asia. It took a company like Apple to create something so desirable that even the North American carriers were desperate to bend over backwards and come out with competitive data plans. It's commonplace now, but back before the iPhone, the idea of an affordable 6GB/month data plan in Canada was absolutely unthinkable. HPL fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Aug 3, 2013 |

I am probably remembering this wrong, but I remember a time when a lot of Nokia's phones were off contract only. As a poor student I could not afford them, but always wanted one. Am I wrong in remembering that? EDIT: I am talking in the US only.
