FM transmission does not work on Nokia N8. just a great phone. Nokia N8 - Simply a great phone
Not enough for many buyers technical characteristics, which are offered on computer sites. Therefore, especially for potential owners of the Nokia N8, we will reveal all the details regarding this model.
For many buyers, the technical specifications offered on computer websites are not enough. Therefore, especially for potential owners Nokia N8, we will reveal all the details regarding this model.
General
Just dial *#7780# - it gently restores the phone’s original settings (does not touch user data).
To find out the firmware version ( software) installed in your phone, just dial *#0000#
Yes, the headset must be connected for the radio to work, because it acts as an antenna. And only then can the sound be output to the device’s speakers
As a rule, no money is withdrawn from you. Because the Internet connection itself does not occur. You just have a function enabled that shows that your device is within the Internet access area. But better this function disable to avoid costs, for example, in roaming: go to the PACKAGE DATA settings and set it to connection - ON DEMAND.
Just dial *#92702689# The counter is not reset by the firmware.
Yes. This is provided by Nokia engineers so as not to damage the charging socket.
Just dial *#62209526#
In order to enter a number in the text field, simply press and hold the key with the corresponding number; this will allow you to type the number without switching the input mode to “123”.
No, they are built into the firmware.
Just dial *#2820#
The screen is covered with aluminosilicate glass called Gorilla Glass. It fully protects the screen from scratches; in my opinion, there is no need to play it safe and wear the device in film. Safety glass Gorilla Glass brands have proven themselves quite well; if you do not expose them to extreme influences, their surface remains in a condition close to pristine for a long time.
H.264, MPEG-4, VC-1, Sorenson Spark, Real Video, On2 VP6, divx, xvid. avi and mkv containers are supported. Video in h264 (usually it comes in a mkv container) is supported with High3.1 settings; High4.1; High5.1 no more than 3 Reframes. Be careful - if the file is encoded with a Reframes setting greater than 3, then such a file will not be played. Torrents usually have a description of MediaInfo - this parameter is also indicated there.
Nokia N8 has a xenon flash, there are no diodes. As you know, a xenon flash gets very hot during operation, which makes it physically impossible for it to operate continuously for more than a split second. So the N8 does not work as a flashlight and physically cannot work
Yes, video can be transmitted through standard 3.5 port, and video can also be transmitted high resolution via HDMI port.
The man responsible for developing the camera for the N8 recently gave an in-depth interview. He explained that the curtain would increase the thickness of the device by about 2-3 mm, despite the fact that the device already has a thickening in the camera area. However, they took care of protecting the optics - the glass is slightly recessed into the body, plus it is of a special type - especially scratch-resistant, so it can be safely wiped with a glasses cloth. The fact that the device will have several programs installed, the operation of which requires automatic activation of the camera, was also opposed to the curtain.
The Nokia N8 has a display made using Amoled technology with multi-touch technology; there is no CBD polarizing layer in the N8. Roughly speaking, it is impossible to say that the Nokia N8 has the usual Amoled, which is found in the Samsung i8910HD and HTC devices (for example, Desire), it is too different from them. It behaves much better in the sun, it has a noticeably higher level of maximum brightness, although there is no flare that regular Amoled has. A very important advantage is that the minimum brightness level of the N8 display is significantly lower than what can be set on a regular Amoled display. This is important to read because... Many people have complained about Amoled for its excessive brightness level, which literally hurts the eyes, especially when reading in the dark.
This means that you can connect flash drives to the phone via an adapter, hard disks and other phones. From them, N8 will be able to read videos, watch photos, delete, move and copy files. The volume of connected flash drives and hard drives is not limited, but the device recognizes devices formatted only in Fat32. NTFS and ExtFS are not supported, this has been checked several times. There is a video online where they connect to the N8 HDD at 1.5 Tb. External hard drives will require additional power. USB keyboards, and USB hubs are not supported. USB mice are supported - a standard cursor appears in the system, no drivers are required.
Everything is very simple, look under the top HDMI cap, or type *#06# on the keyboard
The device has a large volume reserve, 20 levels of volume adjustment, a very smooth frequency response, and good detail in transmitting various instruments. The sound volume in the headphones is higher than in the 5800. If you are a big connoisseur of high-quality sound, you will most likely be satisfied, but only if you connect your own headphones. However, the included headphones are not bad, but headphones inserted into the ears cannot convey the features of many compositions at a high level. However, compared to headsets within 1000 rubles, these headphones are quite up to par. Standard headphones are combined with a headset, that is, using a standard headset, you cannot replace the headphones. The AD-54 headset, which allows you to connect your own headphones, works.
The Nokia N8 body is made of anodized aluminum, which reliably protects it from corrosion and can be painted in a special way. As a result technological process, the result is a very high-quality painted surface that is protected from abrasion and scratches. To be sure of these properties, I even tried to scratch the body with a surgical blade, but was unsuccessful; there were no traces of my influence left on the body. Of course, if you set the task of drilling such a case, then you will probably do it, but in everyday use, the case will be reliable, I am sure of that (anodizing technology is successfully used in many areas). The only thing to remember is that the top and bottom of the case are plastic inserts. The use of plastic is necessary for the operation of various radio modules - in the upper part there are WI-Fi modules, Bluetooth and GPS, at the bottom there is a GSM/UMTS module. I didn’t scratch these parts with a blade, but I tried to scratch them with my fingernail, my impact didn’t leave any traces, I believe that this plastic coating is quite reliable. I saw those N8s that Nokia employees have been using since about June - their condition is no different from the new device.
The N8 supports the most latest version 802.11n - up to 300 Mbit/s.
It has been experimentally established that at -17 and even -30 everything, including the touch screen, works fine.
Just connect your phone to your computer in storage mode. Next, enable the function of displaying hidden and system files. And copy the entire contents of the flash drive to your computer. Then change the flash drive in your phone and do all of the above, only copying and replacing the data from the computer to the flash drive. Before doing this, it is best to format the flash drive from the phone menu.
N8 records video in 720p resolution (1280x720) at 25 frames per second (fps), plays back at 30. But this is not critical, because The human eye perceives no more than 24 fps.
Programs and OS
The fact is that this Nokia PC Suite application rarely automatically detects an Internet connection profile using mobile phone. Therefore, you need to configure the connection manually. To do this, you need to launch “Connect to the Internet” and click CONFIGURE (the button may be in the form of a wrench). Next, from the list, select your device as a modem (it will definitely be on the list if it and all drivers are installed correctly). Click next and select the required network operator. Then click on the checkbox. All!!! If your network operator is not on the list, then select “Configure a connection manually” and enter all the parameters manually. If you don't know something, contact your telecom operator for information.
If the problem is not the coverage of the OPS network, then, depending on the model, you can try to “cure” it like this: GSM standard models: - go to the phone settings in the communication section - set the GSM mode (in some models GSM900/1800) - set "OPERATOR SELECTION" - MANUALLY Models of a later fleet that have an additional UMTS (3G) mode: - go into the phone settings in the PHONE section - set the GSM mode - set "OPERATOR SELECTION" - MANUALLY
No, there are no games. But with the H8 comes the opportunity free download several games (Galaxy on Fire, Angry Birds, NFS: Shift). The games are heavy, so it’s better to download them via WiFi from your phone, or you can download them via OVI from your computer. Games run smoothly on the phone and do not freeze.
The standard QuickOffice application in N8 is represented by a trial version, it can only read files, in order to edit them you need to purchase full version applications. But nothing prevents you from putting third party application with similar functionality. Office conflicts with the standard theme (the background is displayed incorrectly when the application is open, this does not affect operation)
Press the power button for about 8 seconds, the device will vibrate briefly three times and turn off, then turn it on. Disabling will occur for any type of freeze, it is not software, but at the chip level, so it will work in any case.
According to user reviews, installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus leads to constant reboots of the device. And its use is not conditioned by anything, since for more than 2 years of the existence of Symbian 9.4, not a single virus was discovered for this OS, and even more so for Symbian^3. For those who did install and encountered a problem, the solution is one Hard Reset and restoration of the contents of drive E.
Your freedom of choice is limited only by where to install the application: on a memory card (F), built-in flash memory (E) or in the phone memory (C).
Li-On batteries do not have a “memory” effect, as did Ni-Mh batteries. Full discharge It only helps to reconfigure the battery controller and better control the discharge indication. But it is better to do a full discharge no more than once a month. Battery training is a natural process that occurs against your will within 3-4 weeks after starting use. A full discharge at the beginning of using the battery is needed to calibrate the battery controller, and not to train it. Unfortunately, people use instructions and advice from the “King of Peas”, ignoring the fact that they are outdated and do more harm than good. Li-On batteries can easily tolerate constant over-charges, but deep discharges are very harmful to them.
After the necessary charge-discharge cycles, the phone reaches more or less stable power consumption indicators. Based on measurements, it plays video for about 7 hours. In navigation mode, the device worked for about 6.5 hours (worked navigation program with traffic jam support - CityGuide version 2.8 SP1). The average operating time of the device is about 2 days, 1 day if you use it very intensively. If the charge level drops to a critical level, the device offers to enable the power saving mode - it reduces the brightness to a minimum, disables wireless interfaces, disables theme effects and displays the screensaver.
In the Settings item, you can configure automatic switching from GPRS to Wi-Fi (this is a Symbian^3 innovation). You can set automatic or manual switching to access points known to the device, enable or disable automatic connection to accessible internet connection - in this case, the device will connect to GPRS or Wi-Fi (you can set only Wi-Fi) automatically, without requests. You can always make an automatic connection, with the exception of roaming, you can leave traditional requests for connecting to the Internet - then each program will ask whether it can connect to the network and through which connection.
Connect the phone to the computer in storage mode and delete the \private\10281e17 folder on the computer from both phone drives (E and F). Then disconnect the phone from the computer, launch the player and update the Music Library.
There is no Swype out of the box, but they promise to add it in future firmware. On this moment it can be downloaded as a separate application from the OVI store, and the Russian input language can be downloaded as a separate package. If you have problems uninstalling Swype, be sure to check “NO” in all items in the program settings.
Yes, FlashLite 4.0 is supported - this supports video on Flash 10.0 and some other things on Flash, that is, it will play online and streaming video (such as contact, youtube, live broadcast TV channels, plus the menu will contain links to many online sites with Internet TV. The N8 media processor is specially optimized for working with Flash. Among the videos, there is a demonstration of playing a video from the VKontakte website.
Disable scanning Wi-Fi networks. Install "Offline Widgets" on your desktop. Decrease display brightness. Reduce the synchronization period for mail and other Internet programs. Disable 3G, leaving only GSM. (If the Internet is not particularly important, and there are incoming voice calls when downloading something via GPRS) Disable background animation effects. Select Menu > Settings & Themes > General > Options > Theme effects > Off.
Menu - Options - Themes - Screensavers - Off.
Add album covers through Windows Media Player and sync music through it. WMP 11 for Windows 7 handles this perfectly and works perfectly with the N8.
To do this, go to the menu - parameters - communication - WLAN - functions - parameters - show available. Wlan - never choose. You can also set up an Internet connection and automatically switch to known phone Wi-Fi(those to which you have already connected) - menu - parameters - communication - parameters. Here set the following values - switch to known WLANs. Transferring data to home network- you can set it to “with request” - then the device will ask you through which access point (Wi-Fi or GPRS to connect).
No, it does not see either NTFS or exFAT. FAT32 only.
If you want images from contacts not to be displayed in the gallery, do the following: 1) find the desired photo in the gallery, the photo resolution should be at least 290x290, better - higher (tested up to 12MP - works); 2) Click “Functions” - “Use image” - “Assign to contact”. 3) Select the required area in the image. And assign it to the contact. 4) Remove from the gallery the picture that was assigned to the contact. Bottom line. When assigning photos from the gallery, the photos are cached in E:\system\data\images. And when we delete the original photo from the gallery, the photo is still displayed, because... there is a cache. And if we add a photo directly from the contacts menu, we will be forced to leave the original photos in the gallery so as not to lose image quality. The cache also occurs on drive C. But images that are very much reduced in size and quality are cached there. It will be displayed if, for example, you connect your phone as a storage device when drive E is not available or if you assigned a photo from the contacts menu and deleted the original photo from the gallery.
Miscellaneous
You can remove scratches on your phone display with regular car polish.
“Attention! Forwarding is enabled” is an operator service; even if forwarding is not enabled, the message appears and there is no way to remove it. The service is called “You got a call” or something like that. Included in the basic package. If the subscriber is not online, then after a missed call he receives a corresponding message. So this is exactly from the operator's side. The call goes first to the database, then to the subscriber. It is at the moment of sending to the database that this message is displayed.
The fastest and in a simple way it will be formatted.
The SIM card memory is full! Correction: messages-functions-messages on the SIM-delete a couple of SMS.
Nokia N8 - Simply a great phone
26.01.2012
Photo edited in a photo editor. I made fun of my dog a little ☺:
Maps app for navigation
Unfortunately, this application is unlikely to be suitable for navigation in Astrakhan. The maps are too uninformative, many streets are missing, detail is almost zero, there are no 3D objects, etc. Although, judging by the reviews, in some regions the situation is much better. I have not yet traveled outside the Astrakhan region with the Nokia N8 phone, so there is no way to check it yet. But one of the advantages is that navigation is absolutely free throughout the entire life of the phone. You only pay for traffic when A-GPS is connected (you can turn it off). The program interface is clear and beautiful, everything you need is there. For example, information about nearby shops, restaurants, attractions, etc. Well, information about traffic jams, etc. and so on. You can use both pedestrian and car navigation. The latest versions of the Maps app have multi-touch support.
But again, I repeat, in some cities there is no point in using Ovi (Nokia) cards. For Astrakhan, I would advise installing the 2gis program, it definitely has almost everything you need. All houses are numbered, there is information about any organizations. You can view the map in 2D and 3D mode. In addition to Astrakhan, you can download the databases of about 50 more cities.
Maps app:
Standard browser (version 7.3)
The browser has become more convenient compared to earlier versions and more pleasant to look at. But the loading speed of heavy pages is still far from ideal. Added the function of opening 2 or more pages. There is FlashLite 4.0, support for video on Flash 10.0, if you wish, you can watch streaming and online video. Symbian Belle promised to further improve the browser. But Opera, in most cases, seems to be a better option for Internet surfing.
Internet TV
There are 5 applications installed at once - CNN Video, National Geographic, E!, Vesti and Movie Teasers. When starting the program, they warn that it will require a large amount of traffic to work. Therefore, I have not yet had the opportunity to enjoy Internet TV.
Other
Ovi Social Center application with access to Facebook and Twitter communities. You can add other social networks.
Labels "Here and Now" and "Youtube". We can say that these are ordinary links to sites that open through a standard browser. "Here and Now" is information about the weather, temperature and wind speed in your city. Well, the nearest restaurants and the distance to them are also shown. Perhaps some cities have information about other establishments. The "Youtube" shortcut simply directs you to mobile version site.
Shazam - identifying a song based on a recorded excerpt.
"Tools" - various applications for setting up your phone. Main functions: allows you to define connection settings for free; transferring contacts, calendar entries, etc. between compatible Nokia phones; setting Email; saving important information on Ovi.com and more.
Available Widgets
There aren't that many of them. Here is their list:
You can install other widgets, for example "VKontakte". It is impossible to remove unnecessary standard widgets, even through the application manager. But they write on the forums that if you put widgets on top of existing ones, they can be deleted in the future.
It is clear that the standard set of programs is not enough for everyone, so I offer a list of the most interesting third-party applications.
By the way, the Nokia store has applications that can be downloaded completely free of charge, both from your phone and from your computer, in order to save traffic.
Jbak Taskman - the program is a task manager combined with quick start programs. An excellent replacement for the standard task manager. Allows you not only to close, but also to “kill” processes hanging in the system and compress RAM, in case of shortage.
Spb Weather is a program for receiving and displaying weather conditions for 5 days on the desktop.
As a navigator you can use, for example, Navitel, 2gis, Cityguide, Garmin, Yandex Maps, Mail Agent with maps and another program that you like.
Magic Brush is a functional drawing tool. I think it will also be useful.
Joikuspot - distribution of Internet traffic received from the operator via Wi-Fi. Your phone turns into a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Zxreader is a functional reader.
Skype, Mobile Agent, Qip Pda 3000, "Bayanicq", "Vkontakte" and others upon request.
Swype is a convenient input method and replacement for the standard keyboard.
SPB TV - a large selection of TV channels for viewing via the Internet.
“Screenshot” - well, it’s clear. A program for taking screenshots from the display by pressing the camera button.
It is not recommended to install Kaspersky anti-virus; the smartphone may not work stable. And there are practically no viruses on Symbian^3. As a safety net, you can use the already mentioned SafeManager. You should also not install Fontrouter (for OS9.x) on Nokia N8. This will result in the phone not turning on. Restoring a phone is relatively simple, but I think no one needs extra problems.
The phone also comes with Java applications and games. But playing games that require a keyboard is not very convenient; it would all look much better on a mechanical keyboard. Using the "All rights for java in Symbian^3" mod, you can set any rights for Java through the application manager (such as connecting to the network, disabling and enabling the on-screen keyboard, security warning, network access, sending messages, autorun, etc. ).
If you install a lot of applications and especially HD games in one folder, the phone will start to slow down when entering this folder. Therefore, it is better to distribute everything into several folders and preferably no more than 10 heavy games in one folder.
What phone features do you use frequently?
Internet via Opera Mini, SMS, calls, camera, player, various applications and games, watching videos, navigation via 2GIS, Bluetooth, alarm clock.
What phone features do you use occasionally?
Wi-Fi, video calls, calendar, standard navigation application, “here and now”, standard browser, calculator.
What functions do you not use at all?
Standard Internet TV applications, intranet, Communicator, dictionary, notes, message reading with a voice engine, Lingvo - voice, Ovi store (Nokia).
What glitches were noticed?
Glitches mainly occur when running certain applications. I can’t say for sure whether it’s the software or the phone. Some applications may slow down or freeze. Once the screen started flickering due to several games being accidentally launched, I had to restart the phone. And they started because the phone starts to slow down when entering folders with a large number of HD games. Because of this, you start tapping on the screen to check if the download is in progress, and accidentally launch the wrong thing. If you receive an SMS message while playing the game, then terrible slowdowns also begin. First, the light indicator for missed events lights up (it is located on the menu button), and only then, after about five seconds, the sound signal of an incoming SMS appears. Maybe it was the game's fault, I don't know.
Another glitch was noticed in the MP3 player. At first the album covers did not want to be displayed, then, after 30 seconds, they still appeared, but somehow blurry, in poor quality. And only after another 30 seconds did they begin to display normally. But this only happened when viewed in horizontal orientation. In vertical mode, covers were displayed normally. Although of all the albums, I only have covers for three. So far this is an isolated case. In the MP3 player itself, sometimes, for a fraction of a second, the sound is interrupted when you press the menu button when the phone is in a locked state. But this glitch is also rare.
Conclusion
You can scold Nokia as much as you like, but the fact remains a fact. Despite the fact that the device was released in 2010 and was not very reliable at first, its production continues to this day. Firmware updates are rare, but they come out. And although now it is not a super-powerful phone with good processor(he wasn’t one at the start of sales), but he will always have his own buyer. It’s not for nothing that people recognized him as the best based on the results of previous years. Yes, various voting on sites are not always objective, but still. Many have already forgotten that in addition to a powerful processor, a large display and a functional operating system, there are other parameters in which it looks no worse than its competitors. And in some ways he is still the best. We can assume that the price for it now is not adequate, but you always have to pay extra for good case materials, and I understand those who are willing to pay extra.
I like Android devices, but, as I already wrote, most of them do not have the same build quality, good sound from headphones and an excellent camera. But the operating system is still very interesting, Symbian is not that good, although it completely suits me. Many phone problems can already be solved, and after the release of the official Bella the situation will improve even more.
In the end, we can say that the phone is very good, and if it had an updated operating system, sales would be even higher. After all, as I understand, many people are disgusted by the word “Symbian”. And, of course, the marriage in the first batches did not inspire confidence. Otherwise, the device is close to ideal and remains one of the best to this day. I'm not going to recommend it to anyone. Based on what you need from your phone. I think that Nokia fans will be happy with this device. I consider it the best of its kind (if we take Symbian devices), but N8-01 is due out soon, let's see what it offers. I give the phone a score of 9 out of 10; minor flaws for me do not spoil the overall picture.
If you hold it in your hands, you will not be able to part with it for a long time. It seems to bewitch with its elegance and beauty of design and the clarity of the display (16,777,216 colors), which does not fade even in the sun. The high-level performance of the smartphone with an ARM 11 processor with a frequency of 680Mhz is quite enough to ensure fast work with applications. Concerning Nokia N8-00 cameras then he has one of the best among all phone models. 12 MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and powerful xenon flash allow the smartphone to take quite professional pictures, both day and night. Video shooting of Nokia N8-00 High Quality HD format with a resolution of 1200 by 720 pixels can be easily viewed on a TV screen. The smartphone is powered by a 1200 mAh BL-4D battery, which will allow the phone to operate for 12 hours of talk time and 390 hours of standby time. The smartphone is available in five colors: red, black, green, silver and blue. The smartphone's large memory of 16GB and microSD 32GB will allow you to transfer full-length movies for viewing without additional transcoding. Nokia N8-00 is equipped with a receiver GPS and free cards
from Nokia. For mobile lovers games It will be a pleasure to play on the large and bright 3.5-inch display. Here, it is probably impossible to describe how pleasant it is to use the N8-00 phone; you have to hold it in your hands to appreciate its magnificence!
