Nokia 9500 (original) (raw)

| | Monday, August 28th, 2006 4:28 pm - Nokia 9300i problems thekumquat Hello. I got a Nokia 9300i (new version of the 9500) about a month ago and I'm having lots of problems setting it up. The manual is useless ("To send a message, click Send Message"... and nothing about "If your message doesn't send, try XYZ..."), as is my phone provider, so before taking time off work to visit the engineers I thought I'd try the power of LJ, and found this community.My problems:1. Getting numbers off my old phone (Nokia 6310) onto the new one. I backed up the old phone previously onto my WinXP machine, and transferred the SIM card. However if I try putting the backup from the PC onto the new phone it says "This is a different phone" - duh! The new Nokia smartsuite software isn't compatible with the old phone and the old software not with the new one, I think.2. The sim contacts appear if I look through my address book (via the outside of the phone or via the inside), BUT if I get a text or call, it won't display their name. If I write a text on the numberpad it will then let me look up a name to send it to, but if I type it on the inside and enter a name to send the message to, it says the name doesn't exist. If I enter the number, use it and save it as their name, the next time I try it complains there are multiple entries with the same name. Help???3. Interactive buttons on webpages don't work and apparently I need to turn on/off Javascript. How? Should I download an LJ client and if so which one?4. Ability to send emails - is it not possible to send a text message to someone else's email account, or do I have to set up my own email? If so, what settings do I need to provide apart from POP3 and SMTP details?5. Allegedly the Document program is compatible with MS Office, but when I sent files I'd written on the phone to my PC and opened them in Word, the formatting is screwed. If I open them as a text only file I at least find the text but returns are replaced by garbage. Help?Finally, the sodding thing doesn't vibrate, which is crap for a business phone and even more so if you're deaf! Anyone know if you can still buy phone vibrating attachments anywhere?Sorry for the long post - all advice gratefully received before I go back to my old phone and only use this one for typing on...current mood: pissed off (comment on this) Tuesday, November 29th, 2005 7:41 pm Thursday, November 3rd, 2005 4:21 pm - Livejournal + Opera stevenothing It would seem that LJ have fixed their bug/feature which prevented the version of Opera that comes with the 9500 from viewing livejournal (at least, from viewing it with cookies turned on). Typical that I only find this out after setting up a proxy to strip out the headers it doesn't like.Still, at least now I have a nice anonymous proxy with which to post to LJ.

Any idea if it is any good, or is there something better out there that you know of?I am currently planning a trip across Dartmoor. I need something that will give me location info and maps on my 9500, but without having to plug it into anything else. Any suggestions?

Connected to livejournal.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.livejournal.com Cookie: Connection closed by foreign host. Opera on the 9500 seems to be sending a blank Cookie2: header along with all its requests, and as such livejournal isn't working at all.[update]This seems to be a problem with Opera, too. As soon as you set a cookie in Opera, it will return a Cookie: and a Cookie2: header along with every request it makes to that server. And to add to that, even when you use Set-Cookie2:, Opera still returns the cookie you set in a Cookie header, not a Cookie2 header.Brokenness on all sides, really.
