You can use either 3G or WiFi, which means that this is the first carrier-agnostic video calling application to hit the market!</p> <p>Octrotalk is free, but currently in beta for S60 phones, so you'll need to <a href="http://video.octro.com/download_symbian.php" target="_blank">enter your IMEI here</a> in order to be added to the beta list. Once you've done that, simply choose the Create a new Octrotalk.net Account option, and then create your new username/password. You'll also need to change the server to 'talk.octro.net', as seen in the screenshot below (from <a href="http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/2008/11/network-independent-s60-video-calling-is-here-with-octrotalk.html" target="_blank">Symbian-Guru</a>).</p> <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0031.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124" title="Octrotalk" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0031.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></a></p> <p>I'm still waiting on my IMEI to be added to the beta testers, but give it a run and see how it works for yourself. There's also an application for Windows-powered computers, so you can use your phone to video call someone's computer.

This freeware application from <a href="http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick" target="_blank">LonelyCatGames</a> allows you to connect to a number of different instant messaging protocols, including MSN/Windows Live, AIM, Yahoo!, Gtalk, and Jabber-based. I use it for MSN, Gtalk, and Nokia Chat and it works awesome, and can use either cellular data or WiFi.</p> <p>The last few updates brought support for themes, so that the application will match whatever theme you happen to be using on your phone. You can, of course, still select one of the default LonelyCatGames color schemes, though I've always found them a bit ugly, myself.</p> <p>When you first install SlickIM, you're presented with a screen listing out the various IM protocols. Simply click on each one you wish to use, and enter your details. It's really just that easy. You can view your buddy list in any number of ways, such as grouped by protocol, or alphabetized. You can also opt to hide offline contacts, if you want.</p> <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0014.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-119" title="Slick IM" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0014.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p> <p>When you have multiple chat windows open, they're presented as a tabbed interface, allowing you to easily see all of the conversations that you have open, and switching between them is a breeze. Smilies are supported, as you might expect, and there's even a handy notification that shows up on whatever screen you're in. With this, even if you're browsing the internet, if someone IM's you, a little box appears in the top corner of your display, so that you can easily swap back to SlickIM to carry on the conversation.</p> <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0015_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120" title="Slick IM" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0015_2.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p> <p>You can <a href="http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=slick" target="_blank">download the latest version of SlickIM here</a>.

You have to manually go into the application and press options -&gt; Synchronize to get anything to happen. Well, not anymore.</p> <p>Introducing, <a href="http://code.google.com/p/bergamot/wiki/Swim" target="_blank">Swim, for S60</a>. This freeware basically lets you tell it how often the application should automatically open your Sync app, press options, and then press Synchronize. That's all it does, and yet it's so useful.</p> <p>You still need to have your Sync profile setup in the Sync menu, for instance if you use <a href="http://sync.ovi.com" target="_blank">Sync on Ovi</a> or <a href="http://www.goosync.com" target="_blank">GooSync</a> or any other SyncML-based service. Once you have the profile setup, you simply open Swim, and tell it how often you'd like it to synchronize your stuff. You can set it for a number of hours, once a day, or even once a week. Whatever you'd like, and then you're done. This awesome little app does the rest, and beautifully.</p> <p>Please note, that Swim is currently available only as an unsigned application. It *is*, however, compatible with <a href="https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do" target="_blank">OpenSigned</a>, so if you've recently updated the firmware on your E71, or if you just don't want to go through the <a href="http://www.e71blog.com/2008/11/how-to-hack-your-e71-to-install-unsigned-applications/" target="_blank">hacking bit I told you about earlier</a>, you can still easily use Swim, and for free.</p> <p>Note also that Swim uses your phone's data connection (unless of course you set it to use WiFi). I'm not responsible if you forget this and run up a huge data bill on your cell phone.</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/bergamot/wiki/Swim" target="_blank">Download Swim here</a>.</p> <p>(via: <a href="http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/2008/11/swim-for-s60-schedules-your-syncs.html" target="_blank">Symbian-Guru</a>) </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=26#post-38 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:10:17 +0000 admin 38@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p>One of the things that I wish about my E71 is that the volume keys could pull double-duty to scroll in the web browser. It would make browsing long webpages so much better! Well, I'm glad to let you know that, since <a href="http://www.e71blog.com/2008/11/how-to-hack-your-e71-to-install-unsigned-applications/" target="_blank">we've learned how to install unsigned applications</a>, this is now possible! Indeed, using an application called MagicKey, you can remap any button on your E71 (and other S60 phones) to behave like another button. Note that MagicKey can only duplicate buttons, it cannot remap a button to a new application.</p> <p>You can <a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/MagicKey_Unsigned_Beta.sis" target="_blank">download <strong>MagicKey </strong>here</a>, and unfortunately, it doesn't work with OpenSigned, so you'll need to have performed the hack (<a href="http://www.e71blog.com/2008/11/how-to-hack-your-e71-to-install-unsigned-applications/" target="_blank">detailed here</a>) to be able to install it.</p> <p>Once you've installed MagicKey, simply open the application. The first screen that you're presented with is the <strong>App List</strong>. From this screen, you can either add a keymap to the 'All Apps' list, or you can specify a certain application, such as the web browser. To add, press Options, Add, and then scroll through the list to find the Web application. You should now see this screen:</p> <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0010_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-109" title="MagicKey" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0010_2.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p> <p>Now, press 'right' on the d-pad to swap to the <strong>KeyMap List tab</strong>. This is where you'll create a set of keymaps, and assign that set to the Web app that you just setup. Again, press Options, Add to create a new one, and you can name it whatever you like - I used 'Webkeymap'. Now, click on your newly created Keymap, and then click 'Add Key Pair'.</p> <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0011.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-110" title="MagicKey" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0011.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p> <p>This is where it gets tricky, so pay attention. You should see a box asking for the original key. First, you need to press the 'Send' key, which will add '999' to the box. Now you can click on whatever button you want to remap. To remap the volume keys to scroll, you need to press the Send key, followed by the volume up key. You should see '162' in the box. Press OK, and you get another box asking for the Maps To: key. Again, press the Send button first, followed, this time, by the d-pad 'up', to get '16' in the box. Now press OK.</p> <p>Repeat the process again, this time with the volume down and d-pad down keys. If you really want to have the best experience, I recommend also mapping the voice memo button to the center d-pad, so you can scroll and click, all from the side there. To do this, follow the steps above, but press the voice memo/center d-pad buttons.</p> <p>Once you've created your <strong>KeyMaps</strong>, your screen should look like the one below. If it doesn't, erase them and do it again, making sure that you've got them in the right order. Now, click 'back' (right softkey) to get back to the first screen. With the 'Web' app highlighted, press options, and go to 'Choose Map'. Pick your newly created 'Webkeymap'. Now, again, click 'Options, but this time, choose 'Start on boot.' This way, everytime you turn your phone on, the keymap will be reloaded.</p> <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0012_2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-111" title="MagicKey" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screenshot0012_2.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p> <p>That's it! Now, you can easily open your web browser and scroll up and down using the volume keys on the side, and click on links using the voice memo key! How much better is that, and what's more, your volume keys revert to their original function when you exit the web! It's brilliant!</p> <p>What other keymap combinations can you come up with? </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=25#post-37 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 11:39:22 +0000 admin 37@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/symbiansigned.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium align=" title="Symbian Signed Hacked" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/symbiansigned-300x72.png" alt="" width="300" height="72" /></a></p> <p>One of the more frustrating things about S60 currently is the Symbian Signed initiative. Designed to eliminate malware and viruses on our phones, Symbian Signed is a great idea that was executed poorly. Developers became frustrated with the various testing procedures and requirements, and thus, have simply begun releasing their applications as 'unsigned'. This prevents a problem for users who wish to use these applications, but don't know how to sign applications.</p> <p>Quite honestly, there are very few applications that I've found I need which are only available unsigned. For some, you can simply use the <a href="https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do" target="_blank">OpenSigned option</a> to get a legitimately signed version for your phone. However, this doesn't work for all applications, and it also only 'signs' the application for a single IMEI - meaning if you have multiple phones, you have repeat the process for each one.</p> <p>The other option is to simply 'hack' your phone to eliminate the Symbian Signed requirement. <strong>Please note that if you hose your phone doing this, we're not responsible.</strong> Also, it's been found that Nokia often 'fixes' the hack with firmware updates, so this is not a permanent solution. However, it works great on my E71 NAM, and doesn't cause any harm to the stability of the phone.</p> <p>You'll need three files, which I've <a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/E90Hack.zip" target="_blank">uploaded here in a ZIP</a> that you can open right on your phone.</p> <p><strong>Now, you'll need to follow these steps *exactly*:</strong></p> <p><strong>1.</strong> Transfer all 3 of the files to your phone's memory card. You can simply put them in the root, or you can create a 'Hack' folder, if you wish.<br /> <strong>2.</strong> Install X-Plore<br /> <strong>3.</strong> Open X-Plore, press Menu -&gt; Tools -&gt; Configuration. Check the first four boxes in this list, then click Back, then the Home key to minimize X-Plore.<br /> <strong>4.</strong> Install the hellocarbide app<br /> <strong>5.</strong> Run the hellocarbide application<br /> <strong>6.</strong> Press Options and chose Menu1<br /> <strong>7.</strong> Answer Yes (the right soft key)<br /> <strong>8.</strong> The app will close.<br /> <strong>9.</strong> Navigate to X-Plore (you will not be able to use the task manager, so you will need to press the Home key to get to your main menu, then go into the Installations folder)<br /> <strong>10.</strong> Navigate in X-Plore to the installserver.exe file, and press Menu, Edit, Copy. Now, navigate to C:sysbin, and press the center d-pad to copy.<br /> <strong>11.</strong> Reboot your phone, and you're good to go!</p> <p>Now you can install *any* application, whether it's signed or not. Be careful, however, that you know the origins of the file. Installing *any* file could mess up your phone. Only install applications from trusted sources, such as E71Blog.com. </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=24#post-36 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:38:22 +0000 admin 36@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screen01.gif"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-102" align="right" style="margin: 5px;" title="Tankzors" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screen01.gif" alt="" width="240" height="320" /></a>I found a new game recently, and it happens to run great on the Nokia E71. It's called <strong>Tankzors</strong>, and while it is a Java game, it's incredibly cool, and really addictive. It's pretty simply, really: you drive around (you're a tank) and blow stuff up. You sometimes have to blow up other tanks, and other times you have to blow up walls or other obstacles. Along the way you can pick up powerups, which can give you better guns or strong shields, too.</p> <p>The gameplay consists of a series of missions, each one adding something different to the mix. Since most of the game is played using only the d-pad and the left and right softkeys, it works pretty well playing on the E71. Of course, the regular number keys offer shortcuts to various actions, but overall, it's a pretty easy game.</p> <p>You can <a href="http://www.tankzors.com/download.html" target="_blank">download Tankzors here for free</a>, or you can just visit <a href="http://wap.tankzors.com" target="_blank">wap.tankzors.com</a> from your phone. There's also a map editing tool available, if you're a bit more technical-minded and want to make your own maps. </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=23#post-35 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 15:06:40 +0000 admin 35@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p>There is a new firmware version available for the Nokia E71, v110.07.127.

Nokia Friend View consists of a desktop website and a mobile client and allows you to visualize yourself and your friends on a map, facilitating meetups quite nicely. Friend View also allows you to post status updates, which your friends can comment on, creating a mobile social location-based microblogging service that's really fun to use!</p> <p>You'll need to have a Nokia Account, which is the same username and password you currently use for Nokia Chat, Sync on Ovi, and Files on Ovi. However, unfortunately, your buddy list from Nokia Chat is not carried over to FriendView, so you're forced to re-find all of your contacts.You can check things out in 'What's Up' view, which shows a little window with the latest status messages from you and your contacts.</p> <p>Overall, I'm rather impressed with Nokia Friend View on my Nokia E71. I've not used the application enough to be able to comment on battery usage, but with Friend View maintaining an active data connection and using a combination of GPS and Network-based location, I can imagine you'll notice a slight hit.</p> <p>What do you think of this new service? </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=21#post-33 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:03:36 +0000 admin 33@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p>Dotsisx over at Symbian-Guru has started a new weekly focus, spotlighting a themer from the S60 community each Friday.

The Symbian-Guru is a huge fan of Mobbler, and he's converted me, as well. You will need a free Last.FM account, which you can get here.</p> <p>Basically, Last.FM keeps track of what you listen to across various devices and places, and then uses that to recommend new music to you, and connect you with other people with similar music tastes. There's also a great custom station option, which allows you to either type in an artist or a tag and get a streaming radio station customized around that artist/tag. Brilliant.</p> <p>As you're listening, you can mark a track as 'loved', in which Last.FM keeps it in a special station that you can access by paying a subscription (you get other benefits, too). You can also 'ban' a track, informing Last.FM that you dislike it, and not to play it ever again. If you simply aren't into a track at that moment, you can just skip it, without having to mark it as banned.</p> <p>The latest update to Mobbler allows you to use your phone's volume keys to adjust the audio volume, and works great, even over EDGE.</p> <p>You can <a href="http://mobbler.googlecode.com/files/mobbler_s60_0_2_4.sis" target="_blank">download Mobbler here</a>, and set yourself up with a <a href="http://www.last.fm/join" target="_blank">Last.FM account here</a>.</p> <p>Also, if you're into a specific station, the Nokia Internet Radio application has been updated with a special version for the E71, you can <a href="http://europe.nokia.com/A41121127" target="_blank">download that here</a>. </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=13#post-29 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:59:36 +0000 admin 29@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p>I haven't used any cases for my E71 (I don't normally use cases on my phones) but I know that Proporta is well-known and offers this case:</p> <p><a href="http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/2008/07/keep-your-e71-protected-with-proporta.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/2008/07/keep-your-e71-protected-with-proporta.html</a> </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=12#post-28 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:58:22 +0000 admin 28@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p>Mine should arrive tomorrow (I'm a bit late in ordering it). </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=15#post-27 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:57:51 +0000 admin 27@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p>Great questions, Jordy - for GPS, you can either use Nokia Maps, which is preinstalled on your E71, and simply press the '0' (zero) key to center the map on your current location. </p> <p>You could also download Google Maps Mobile, which is free, and available here: <a href="http://www.google.com/gmm" rel="nofollow">www.google.com/gmm</a> and use that to show your current location.

However, alot of you are reporting issues with installation, so I figured it would be good to put together a walkthrough of sorts.</p> <p>First, the basics - your Nokia E71 is using S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1. You may also see this written as S60v3 FP1 in some places. This means you can install and use any application written for S60 3rd Edition. These themes and applications usually end with '.sisx' or just '.sis', and can be found all over the internet. My favorite place to get applications, though, is the S60.com website, which has a great Applications directory.</p> <p>To install these applications and themes, you can simply Bluetooth the file to yourself, or store it on your phone's memory card, and use the File Explorer application to navigate to the file, and simply click on it to open. Installation will start immediately, and you're all set!</p> <p>But wait, what if you get an error? There are 2 reasons you may get an error, with 2 very simple solutions. The first is if your phone is set to restrict the types of applications that can be installed, and the other has to do with the certificate used to sign the application or, more frequently, the theme.</p> <p><a href="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s60_application_manager.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-75" style="margin: 5px; float: left;" title="s60_application_manager" src="http://www.e71blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/s60_application_manager.jpg" alt="s60_application_manager" width="79" height="77" /></a>The first thing you should check is to make sure that your phone is set to allow any application to be installed. To do this, you can go into your Installations folder, and open the 'App Manager'. Now press your left softkey to open the Options menu, and arrow down to 'Settings'. It's completely safe for you to change the first option (Software Installation) to 'All', instead of 'Signed Only'. Once you have done this, try to install the application or theme again.</p> <p>If you are still having issues, it could be due to the expiration date of the certificate used to sign the theme or application. To resolve this, simply go into your Settings and change the date of your phone to 2007. Now, proceed with the installation again, and don't forget to change your clock back when you're done!</p> <p>You should now be able to install nearly any application or theme on your phone without any issues, as long as it is a signed application. Unsigned applications are a bit different, and I'll cover a workaround for those soon. </p> http://www.e71blog.com/forums/topic.php?id=16#post-20 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:46:35 +0000 Silverbladef 20@http://www.e71blog.com/forums/ <p>Hi, i have an E61i and im willing to upgrade to the E71 soon,had an E61 too before..<br /> So i was wondering does numbers shortcuts in applications like slick or x-plore or any other application works without having to press the blue key?
