How do you get rid of annoying prompt when exiting though? This happens even though "Prompt before permanently deleting....." is unticked.

As with Opera Mini you can access all the bookmarks on your PC version using Opera Unite by setting one of the Speed dial box's to following URL: my.opera.com/username/accou... where username=Unite username.

ditto!!

Installed it a month ago without problems, but since updating to v20 I needed to re-install.

Have tried moving back date a few months & a whole year, tried re-booting with this date in but always get Certificate expired.

Seems that if you did hard reset (as I had to) after update then HelloOX2 gets stuck unpacking files after mapping. Others report it runs ok if you can get away with not doing hard reset.

Hopefully a fix for this in near future.

Strategy (well one anyway) decide at the beginning of game which group you are leaving until last (largest maybe) & don't touch that group until towards the end. Proceed removing other groups to concentrate group you are saving. When left with no other groups, remove the large remaining group for high score & then remove any others to clear board.

Cleared board with 770 score on first attempt - beginners luck????

Been using this app since it came out a few weeks ago & very pleased with it. Agree with one comment I've seen that it looks/feels better than PC version. Particularly like the password saver option which is even simpler than PC version.

Haven't had any significant problems with touch selection or copy & paste providing I use the scribe. Did have some issues with flip out keyboard. Sometimes difficult to get certain keys in lower case. In any case the virtual keyboard seems bullet-proof.

One shortfall over previous v4 is lack of bookmark update through Opera Unite from your PC installation. Setting one of your Speed Dial options to my.opera.com/yourusername allows online bookmark list though through Unite.

BTW Speed Dial entries can be changed once set by tapping & holding on any one. You then get Edit/Clear dialogue

Yes if you select & long press on the open apps display you get Open dialogue but only some give you Exit option as well. i.e Opera mini 5, Menu & Home (for obvious reasons) give Open option only.

It seems there is only one current version 1.41 compatible with 3rd & 5th edition.

Multiple warnings during installation are to be expected as the self signed application installs several dll's.

Checked & double checked links for Symbian S60 5th edition version of SymTorrent but .sis file within downloaded rar folder file always says 3rd edition.

It does seem to run ok however after multiple warnings of incompatibility during install. Just downloaded small torrent from MiniNova site using Opera mini 5 beta (highly recommended). After clicking on torrent download, default browser loaded as well & then SymTorrent in very quick succession. Guess I should use default browser directly in future.

Many thanks for the tip.

CTRL key is the upshift key (on left). Press & hold CTRL + Spacebar + Delete (backspace) key whilst pressing power button for hard reset.

Latest software version for RM-505 phone is 12.0.0.24. Software version 12.2.024 is for RM-507 phones (North America).

Thanks for great article Amir, however anyone having problems with the lengthy JAF installation should try Nemesis Service Suite (NSS) download v1.0.38.15 here http://www.b-phreaks.co.uk/...

It installs a single application. With phone connected via USB but only NSS running, click on magnifying glass icon. Screen should fill with info - click on Phone info at top then Read button. Your current code will be shown which can also be edited. When you have desired code tick Enable to the right and press Write. You can then do a further Read to check - SIMPLE!

A lot of posts are from people who have successfully changed the product code & are now downloading latest update. IMO that is the easy part.

Would like to hear from people who have problems AFTER the update. I had to perform factory reset to get my phone working again (see above) as did Amir. I then restored from full backup but that stalled at 20%. I tried again restoring all but phone memory settings (which is where it stalled previously). This worked & after re-boot I had most of my settings, all my contacts & about half of my applications working again. The rest I re-installed but had to manually re-enter my pop3 email settings. After this all my old emails re-appeared.

I'm guessing that my backed-up phone memory settings are not compatible with new software installation and/or new product code, hence problems..

Used NSS v 103815 on Win 7 x64 machine after full backup. Very easy to change code from my UK Vodafone one (used 0570817).

Software update to 12.0.0.24 ran fine using Ovi Suite updater although many reports of unsuccessful driver installation during update. Final reports showed successful driver updates however & update also reported as successful.

After this phone wouldn't boot though - just beep & white screen flashing on/off. Did hard reset which got phone working again, then restored from previous full backup.

Re: X-Plore: Free File Explorer App For The N97

richardhula — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:47:51 -0000

Free version gives no more access than built in file managers on Nokia N97. Their website suggests that system files can't be accessed on this phone anyway.
