Ultimate Voice Recorder 5.75.5 Bug on N95

No Comment - Post a comment

Today I discovered a very strange bug in the ultimate voice recorder 5.75.5.
I discovered that sent messages are not saved inthe sent folder after enabling receive reports. and after several trials I discovered that this bug is related to UVR 5.75.5.

When I removed it from my n95 phone, messages started to be saved again!!
So, I replaced it by version 5.75.2 which is older but free from this irritating Bug.

Nokia N97 vs Nokia N86 8MP

No Comment - Post a comment



Here is the comparison of the Nokia N97 and the Nokia N86 8MP at the N97 Blog to find out the winner of the comparison to decide which your next mobile should be

The Nokia N97 is the all round flagship and the N86 8MP is the imaging flagship of Nokia. Let’s see which handset wins where and which is better overall.

1.Design and Construction- The Nokia N97 and N86 8MP are both sliders. The N97 however is a landscape slider that reveals it’s QWERTY keypad and D-Pad when opened. The N86 8MP on the other hand is a dual slider with the keypad on one portion and the multimedia keys on the other. The N97 is larger but is thinner at some portions. The N86 8MP is more pocket-able. Overall both the handsets are even in this respect.

2.Screen- The N97 comes with a massive 3.5″ Touchscreen display(360*640 resolution) whereas the N86 8MP only has a 2.6″ screen(240*320 resolution) but the N86 8MP is equipped with an OLED screen. Still the N97 is better in this aspect.

3.Memory- N97 has 32GB of built-in memory and can be expanded using micro-SD cards. The N86 8MP comes with 8GB of internal memory and can be expanded using micro-SD cards. The N97 thrashes the N86 8MP in this respect as it already has more than 4 time the storage memory on board.


Nokia N86 8MP4.Connectivity- Both handsets perform equally as they provide all the latest connectivity features including Wi-Fi, 3G, HSDPA, Bluetooth, USB, GPRS and EDGE.

5.Keypad- The N86 8MP has a numeric keypad and mutimedia keys. The N97 on the other hand lacks multimedia keys but has a QWERTY keypad. Both serve different types of users and thus both are even on this too.

6.Camera- The N97 has a 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics, LED flash and autofocus. The N86 8MP has an 8MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual-LED flash and variable aperture. Video recording is same in both at 30fps in VGA resolution.

7. Battery- The N97 battery looks stronger with a 1500mAH capacity in comparison to the 1200mAH capacity battery of the N86 8MP but the real life performance is yet to be seen as the N97 seems to be more power hungry due to it’s large touch screen.

8.Music- The music players are similar except that the N97 has a touch enabled one. Both have 3.5mm audio jacks for plugging standard headphones. They both have dual speakers but their performance hasn’t been compared yet.

Overall both are good performers. But the N97 seems to be better with better all round performance.

Testing times for mobile phones

No Comment - Post a comment

Have you ever dropped your mobile phone, sat on it or spilt coffee all over it? Thought so.

But handsets are getting tougher these days thanks to a series of tests they go through before hitting the shops.



Watch some of the tests in action
Nokia opened its test centre doors to TV cameras for the first time to show how devices are put through their paces.
Engineers carry out more than 200 physical tests - below is a selection of the weird and wonderful ones.

Durability tests
Mobile phones have each navigation key pressed half a million times to check wear and tear.
Mobile phones are rubbed up and down a trouser leg for days
When Nokia introduced games onto some handsets, it found certain buttons were being pressed more often and harder than others.
So different pressures are now applied and the select button and number keys which are used more often get pounded a million times.
Another test aims to check how handsets perform when put in and pulled out of trouser pockets. A trouser leg is used to rub the devices up and down 750,000 times over a period lasting several days.
This is a much about testing for dust build up as it is about marking and discolouration.
Another repetitive test is manually plugging in and removing the charger for each handset at least 6,000 times.
A group of people are employed do this because, unlike machines, humans do it differently every time.
Engineers also mimic the scrapes and scratches you might get from keys or purses in a handbag. The handset is put in a revolving container with sharp items to check how it performs.

The elements
Each device is put in a lightbox and exposed to four different types of lighting, including UV, to check for any discolouring.
It is also sent into the ovens and freezers for six days - each phone must operate between -20 and 55C.
Then it is sauna time - being exposed to 95% humidity means the handset is dripping wet but it needs to work within two hours of coming out.
The best advice if you do get your mobile wet is to turn it off, take the battery out, and dry out the casing on a radiator.
Most mobiles are not designed to be waterproof but equally they should work fine when you need to take a phonecall in the rain.
Engineers check that a device remains fully functional in such a scenario by dripping water on it for three minutes.

Drop test
The classic way many of us kill our mobile phones is by dropping them. That's what some of our followers on Twitter told us:
"I dropped my phone in the front yard and my dad ran it over with a lawnmower about one min later," wrote @JerBear1984.
"Last week my brand new HTCs620 vibrated off a shelf and fell in a sink full of water when it rang," wrote @uroborosmessiah.
"I left mine on top of the car once, drove off, then realised what I'd done, reversed back straight," wrote @meerkatmatt.
Dropping a mobile phone is a typical way of damaging this device
Nokia has come up with a more scientific process to test mobile phones to destruction, except they're expected to survive.
The handset is dropped twice on each face, every corner and each edge from 1.5m onto reinforced concrete.
The back and battery may flip off, but once re-assembled the phone must work perfectly.

Physical build
Each of the sample phones must survive 120 rotations in a metre long tumble cage, and 180 in a smaller one.
The tumble is roughly the equivalent of knocking the device off a desk and it gives an idea of general durability.
There is also a twist test - a force of 40 Newton metres turns the handset until the battery cover is about to flip off.
Imagine a 15 stone (95kg) man sitting down with a phone in his back pocket. To survive this, the handset must pass a flexibility test which sees 130 Newton force being applied to it with an iron bar.
When mobile phones fail tests, they are taken to the Forensics Lab where researchers look into the reasons.
The different layers of each component are looked at, with X-rays being used to spot hairline cracks and a laser light checking the handset's exterior condition.
Plus the state of the battery is analysed by a machine that can check the chemical make-up of the phone.

No Comment - Post a comment

HelloOX Hack - The easiest way to hack all S60v3 FP1 and FP2 phones. This hack has confirmed working on these phones and firmwares: Nokia 5320 v4.13, N95 v31.0.017, N95-1 v31.0.0.17, N78 v20.149, N82 v31,n85 v11.047,E51 v300.34.56, E66, v200.21.118, E71 v200.21.118.

1.03 update
- MapDrives no longer needed, mapping drives code is now built-in HelloOX, that's mean hacking is much more easier, one app does all the step!(credit must go to FCA00000)
- All mapped drives would remove automatic, no reboot needed for removing them
- Since ROMPatcher doesn't works on some FP2 device, installing it is now an optional for FP2 user, no patches would apply and add to autostart, must do them menual
- Some guys complain cannot play N-GAGE games, the main problem is open4all patch applied. So, all ROMPatcher patches would not add to autostart on all device, must do it menual if you want
- Install rootCerts option removed from Pre FP1 & FP1 device, because installserver is enough. if you wanna install it, please install it menual from E:\HelloOX\updaterD.sisx before uninstall HelloOX
- Install Modo(a TCB file manger by leftup) is now an optional for all device
*If you hacked your phone already, you don't have to use this update version to hack it again! An update just make this app better, it will not hack for more!*

The easiest way to hack!

One step hacking for all S60 3rd,fp1,fp2,5800:
Sign and Install HelloOX.1.03.Unsigned.sis, just run it after installed.
***must sign with a 17 capability Dev Cert***
HelloOX does all the rest for you!
Enjoy it!


What HelloOX did?

Pre FP1 & FP1:
1. Unpack exe files to E:\hack\sys\bin\
2. Map Drives
3. Install ROMPatcher
4. Apply open4all patch
5. Move installserver.exe to C:\sys\bin\
6. Install Modo (optional)
7. Remove unneeded files and mapped drives
8. Done!

FP2:
1. Unpack exe files to E:\hack\sys\bin\
2. Map Drives
3. Install rootCerts
4. Install ROMPatcher (optional)

7. Remove unneeded files and mapped drives
8. Done!

notes:
FP2 & 5800 doesn't have a working installserver yet! However, ROMPatcher working on some of them.
If RP works, the ChangeSWIpolicyPath patch can let you install some unsigned apps, otherwise please
sign your apps with leftup cert&key pair included in this package.

Barcelona, Spain - Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N97, the world's most advanced mobile computer, which will transform the way people connect to the Internet and to each other. Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, the Nokia N97 combines a large 3.5" touch display with a full QWERTY keyboard, providing an 'always open' window to favorite social networking sites and Internet destinations. Nokia's flagship Nseries device introduces leading technology - including multiple sensors, memory, processing power and connection speeds - for people to create a personal Internet and share their 'social location.'


"From the desktop to the laptop and now to your pocket, the Nokia N97 is the most powerful, multi-sensory mobile computer in existence," said Jonas Geust, Vice President, heading Nokia Nseries. "Together with the Ovi services announced today, the Nokia N97 mobile computer adjusts to the world around us, helping stay connected to the people and things that matter most. With the Nokia N97, Nseries leads the charge in helping to transform the Internet into your Internet".

Sensing your 'So-Lo'
The Nokia N97 introduces the concept of 'social location'. With integrated A-GPS sensors and an electronic compass, the Nokia N97 mobile computer intuitively understands where it is. The Nokia N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their 'status' and share their 'social location' as well as related pictures or videos.

Widescreen - Internet and entertainment
The home screen of the Nokia N97 mobile computer features the people, content and media that matter the most. Friends, social networks and news are available by simply touching the home screen. The 16:9 widescreen display can be fully personalized with frequently updated widgets of favorite web services and social networking sites. The Nokia N97 is also perfectly suited for browsing the web, streaming Flash videos or playing games. Both the physical QWERTY and virtual touch input ensure efficiency in blogging, chatting, posting, sending texts or emailing.

The Nokia N97 supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music, media and more. This is complemented by excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days. The Nokia N97 also has a 5-Megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN.

The Nokia N97 is expected to begin shipping in the first half of 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 550 before taxes or subsidies.
