QUOTE(apecx92 @ Oct 16 2010, 08:17 AM) you remove all widget in just one homescreen or all homescreen? mine is working fine,until now dunno how to disable the autolock  Its not that hard. Just goto Settings,Phone,Display and you will find the auto timeout. Default value is 1min. You must be not using Symbian for long time.

Lets put an end to the how to be a Ranger.
From what we know, Nokia team will continue to read the forum on a regular basis. There is no requirements, they just hand pick some random guys based on your enthusiasm for Nokia devices. This will be reflected on your participation in the forum. Currently it is still a pilot programme but they are evaluating it seriously and hoping to make this permanent. So show your passion for Nokia phone, by being active in forum. They do read what you wrote, so don't just spam to increase post count. Btw, judging from yesterday, they are open about it. Not just the good, they are interested to hear the your dissatisfaction as well. They have a competitor's phone for real world usage as well along the Nokia device they were using, so they know their stuffs.

QUOTE(tyja @ Oct 16 2010, 08:37 AM) i remove all my homescreen. still there's data transfer. hope they will have application to auto block all this. Well, you can configure it somewhat. Just goto Settings,Connectivity,Settings, and you will find data use in home network, just switch to WLAN only and it will stop using 3g.

QUOTE(PrinceCaspien @ Oct 16 2010, 09:02 AM) still will not work. On the main screen, select option-widget to offline mode, but beware social networking like fb and foursquare will still be able to connect to the internet, the only way is to remove the widget. I tried it before posting. So its confirmed to work. When I switch to wlan only, my browser which is loading in the background stop loading and when I returned to homescreen, its not using data also.

Update to yesterday finding...
It looks like 'desktop version' on the bottom of LYN is CLICKABLE but really hard. I have removed sticker on the front screen to see if it helps with the the stock browser 'CLICK' response. Im finding it hard to get the screen to register the 'CLICK'... the keyboard is just fine, just the CLICK.

Rangers,
Can you double confirm something for me? I tried to copy Top Gear mkv file to N8 and everytime I did that explorer crashed. Did you encounter the same problem? I think size wise is just 1gb+ which should not be a problem under FAT32. I tried WMV and AVI which works well but this particular MKV just very stubborn.

QUOTE(BuFung @ Oct 16 2010, 10:31 AM) I have to use mobile version once a while in my n97 before... scrolling left right is not very please in n97.... but in BB.. never use mobile version.. coz scrolling are smooth, pointer are accurate etc.... try all ur Video on the phone yet?  There is no MOBILE option with N8 browser... surprised? Even in S60v5, there is an option in the stock browser option to choose Mobile View as default if Im not mistaken. I dont know if they decided to go with the Auto mode or what, but for me who prefer a desktop mode, I find it 'leceh' to click desktop mode.

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Oct 16 2010, 10:37 AM) Guys, since Nokia stripped down some functions from S^1, they asked Offline Publisher (I think) to make quite a number of nifty apps. Be sure to check it out. Oh god, please bring BrightLight app onto S^3... Care to explain? What they actually stripped?

QUOTE(BBXiong @ Oct 16 2010, 10:41 AM) andre, what mode u use for transferring? I used pc suite mode to transfer last night I need to double confirm when I get home. To be honest, it was the OVI Suite that I downloaded from the internet about 3-4months ago, while still using 5800. It detects the phone okay and transferred WMV/AVI just fine, so I kinda ruled that out. I will update later when I get home... most likely Ovi Suite as it was set as default. The battery drain is quite severe as well, kinda same like my Legend. Possibly the weakness of ARM11 power management. I charged it last night in off mode for 2.5hrs and only on it this morning at 8am. Now 11am and battery already left like 40% only.

QUOTE(BuFung @ Oct 16 2010, 11:03 AM) Andre do not have a conversation wt him ah?  I heard there is ppl mention Bufung oh..  Actually, ghost sit across me... I setup my Garlic Barrier liao... I think you should go sometimes... possibly if there is a E7 programme. I recommended you as the next Ranger to be... I think N8 as a whole is kinda exceeded my expectation. I did not have much trouble with it except for the BROWSER. I hope Nokia would completely revamp the browser because it could bring the whole experience up a notch or two. The speed of the browser is pretty good, smooth scrolling but severely hampered by the keyboard spacebar bug, non responsive clicks, some rendering error, mobile/desktop view setting, last but not least hopefully they can include fit to screen text.

Im thinking to do a review sometimes next week if I have the time.
After I remove the sticker, the CLICK response improved quite a lot. Does it mean Screen Protector is not recommended? There is one major design flaw with the N8 that is with the position of the one touch button. Its kinda hard to reach for it in one hand mode, unless you only have half of the grip on the phone.

QUOTE(x132755 @ Oct 16 2010, 11:40 AM) really the THEMES color is very special the color will change from dark to bright automaticlly.. Not theme related I guess. N8 light sensor seem to be working very well. The screen will dim quite significantly when not being used under direct lighting. Just try cover the light sensor at the top right and see it dim.

I think I surf for less than an hours in total (on and off surfing) and it seem like the widgets are sucking the data. It really drain the battery a lot and I have less than 20% now. 8am-12pm with moderate usage and 1hr surfing. I wonder if should be charged for 8hrs for first few times.

QUOTE(nicholasbeh @ Oct 16 2010, 01:55 PM) yup.BBXiong is the king of the event.haha i would like to organize an N8 owner gathering in the near future.maybe after 2 weeks. a lot of people criticize about N8 processor thing which is ARM11 680mhz(im one of the people too  ) and doubt how this processor can support the HD video playback etc etc.but i would like to say,i kinda agree with Leo said, Symbian 3 successfully simplified the coding and require less processor power. Bro, I can quadraple confirm with you that ARM11 cant play a shit video... Thanks to the PowerSGX GPU that it was able to do so...

QUOTE(Clareen @ Oct 16 2010, 05:21 PM) Personally i found out android is quite complicated to me so i will not going for android at this short period of time. Android is definitely not something that'd suit everyone especially those without much IT knowledge. I had a friend who was quite interested with it despite my warning, and I already received a few calls for help from her. I would definitely won't recommend Android phone to friends or clients who can't even get familiar with Symbian.
