A aparut un nou firmware pentru Nokia E71, cu versiunea 410.21.010.

Update-ul cuprinde fix-uri de stabilitate dar si functionalitati noi.
Pentru a va instala noul firmware aveti nevoie de Ovi Suite pe care il puteti descarca de aici. Aveti de asemenea nevoie de un cablu USB. Dupa ce va instalati Ovi Suite si va conectati telefonul prin USB, in meniul Tools selectati “Software Updates”. Utilitarul Ovi va identifica telefon si o sa va ghideze prin update. Nu uitati sa faceti o copie a datelor de pe telefon, urmand ca acestea sa fie sterse odata instalat update-ul. Update-ul se poate realiza tot cu Ovi Suite.

Venim astazi cu un pachet nou de teme pentru Nokia E71 si Nokia E63.
Arhiva contine un total de 21 de teme, pentru toate gusturile si pe toate culorile.

Instalati cu Nokia PC Suite si cablul de date sau bluetooth.

Nokia E71 a primit in urma cu aproximativ o luna, un update de firmware. Mai exact 300.21.012.

Aceasta versiune de software ar trebuii sa repare cateva buguri si sa imbunatateasca cateva functii. Surpriza. Nu e chiar asa. Exista destule raportari pe net, despre diferiti utilizatori care dupa aplicarea noului upgrade au avut probleme cu mai multe functii (cele mai multe legate de retelele wireless).

Personal, dupa update am observat urmatoarele probleme:
1. A disparut Nokia Messaging – aplicatia minune care dupa ce ca arata bine, imi tragea mailurile in timp real – si nu o mai gasesc sa o instalez (a disparut fara urma)
2. A disparut magazinul Ovi
3. Au aparut niste icons-uri noi (Facebook si alte din astea)
4. Am instalat gmail si se misca muuult ai greu, aproape inutilizabil
5. Browserul implicit parca se misca mai bine

Sfatul meu : Mai asteptati inainte sa instalati noul firmware. E posibil sa apara niste fix-uri.
Daca totusi tineti neaparat sa il vedeti, faceti backup la tot (memorie interna prin Nokia PC Suite) si card prin Windows Explorer, instalati noul firmware, formatati cardul de memorie, aplicati un factory reset pe telefon, copiati din nou pe card ce aveati inainte si sperati ca a iesit bine.

In arhiva gasiti instructiuni de instalare. Have fun !

Astazi va oferim un minipack de teme pentru Nokia E71. Linkul de download este aici.

Astazi vom prezenta cateva aplicatii foarte bune pentru Nokia E71, care fac din acet telefon un tool mult mai productiv.

Nokia PC Suite

In primul rand daca nu aveti Nokia PC Suite il puteti downloada de aici. PC Suite este aplicatia prin care va puteti instala urmatoarele aplicatii pe telefon. Aveti nevoie fie de cablul de date cu care a venit telefonul in pachet, fie de un laptop (sau calculator cu bluetooth). Nokia PC suite suporta ambele moduri de conectare.
O alta functie foarte buna a lui PC Suite este back-up-ul. Este recomandat ca periodic sa va faceti o “copie” a telefonului care poate contine agenda, mesajele si setarile din telefon in cazul in care telefonul este pierdut sau furat, sau vreti sa va updatati firmware-ul.

Nokia Maps

Daca nu aveti deja instalat Nokia Maps, aveti aici un link de download. Nokia Maps se foloseste de receptorul GPS integrat in E71 pentru a va ajuta sa va pozitionati pe harta. Din pacate licenta pentru indicatiile vocale (pentru a putea folosi telefonul pe post de GPS in masina) costa. Hartile pentru Bucuresti sunt chiar foarte bune in caz ca aveti nevoie urgent sa va dati seama cum sa ajungeti de la A la B. Hartile se descarca prin conexiunea 3G (unde exista), iar daca nu aveti un abonament de date ar fi bine sa va instalati Nokia Maps Uploader.

Nokia Maps Uploader

Ce face ? Va lasa sa selectati zona, regiunea, sau tara pe care vreti sa o aveti “pre-loaded” pe telefon, pentru a nu mai apela la conexiunea la internet in momentul in care va conectati la un satelit GPS. Foarte bun in cazul in care stiti ca va veti invarti in jurul unui oras, sau a unei tari in particular si vreti sa nu dati o caruta de bani la abonamentul de date.  Harta Romaniei are 7.8 MB. Instalul este aceelasi de mai sus (din cazul Nokia Maps).

Google Maps

Un alt programel foarte folositor este Google Maps. Desi nu este la fel de versatil ca Nokia Maps, Google Maps este foarte util cand va aflati intr-o zona bine cartografiata de Google. Bucurestiul nu este una dintre acele zone. Ce face mai bine decat Nokia Maps ? In primul rand va poate aproxima pozitia in functie de celulele GSM la care este conectat telefonul, dar poate face uz si de receptorul GPS. De asemenea folosind serviciul latitude puteti arata prietenilor unde sunteti pe harta in timp real. Google Maps nu contine ghidare vocala, si este in intregime gratuit.
Cea mai usoara cale de a instala Google maps, este sa va indreptati browserul telefonului catre m.google.com/maps

Opera Mini

Ca tot vorbeam de browsere, nu este un mare secret ca browserul de pe Nokia E71 nu este … cel mai performant browser care se poate gasi. O alternativa foarte buna si gratuita este Opera Mini. La fel ca in cazul Google Maps, desi ceva mai ironic (folosind un browser sa downloadezi alt browser), instalarea cea mai usoara se face prin accesarea site-ului m.opera.com

Nokia Software Updater

Software Updater va faciliteaza updatarea firmware-ului telefonului dumneavoastra. Daca nu stiti ce inseamna firmware, mai bine nu incercati acest program. Cei ce vor insa sa isi updateze firmware-ul trebuie sa stie ca in acest caz conexiunea bluetooth este insuficienta, folosirea cablului fiind obligatorie.

Asta este episodul 1 din aplicatii pentru Nokia E71. In urmatorul episod vom prezenta tool-uri si mai interesante (un program GPS veritabil spre exemplu – cu indicatii vocale si harti la nivel de strada), so stay tuned.
