Finish setting up the Home media network on both my laptop & N82.

First of all its cool, I can play media to or from N82/laptop or wise versa, works like a remote control for example, I can select files to play on N82 or run it in the Laptop. There is a problem for Video and it seems only mp4 file is supported, so if the ori file is .avi file it will prompt in N82 "not supported", I use another application (called Free video to Ipod converted) to convert avi to mp4 then solve the prob already.

2nd Another prob I found is that when I browse media content in N82 from laptop via the Home Media Server, it shows no files detected, do you encounter the same prob? I also try from N82 galery > select a picture > Options > show via home network > Select Device shows nothing... hmm strange

The Home Media Server supposed to act as a file sharing system. It supposed to be able to detect the media content in N82 and play in the laptop (control from laptop), but its not working. I can play media files from N82 in laptop (control from the phone)

Hey just an update. I manage to get my laptop to detect the media files in N82 as some reconfiguration step.

Anyway to answer your question of share:-

From N82 : From Menu > Tools > Connect > Hom.med > Browse Home (you can browse all connected device in your home network like laptops, printers for sharing)

From PC : Open the Home Media Server > Devices > Shows the connected N82

Added on February 25, 2008, 12:51 amI am using XP. I guess you are right, I can't play the N82 from My Laptop using the the Home Media Server . But from N82 I can play media files from N82 to Laptop (what I mean is that the content is in the N82 but play in laptop) or play media files from Laptop on N82 / Laptop (acts like a remote control)

Not Nokia PC Suite to be exact but Home Media Server. Itsis part of Nokia PC suite, but its a hosting server by itself. The connection medium is through LAN WiFi. So when you play your files its LAN WiFi speed! Try it, its cool... but somehow the Home Media server is not free, its only have 30 days free trial...

Hey neighbour you stay in Bandar S'Sara? Me too...

The one which is not free is Home Media Server Premium, its a 30 days trial. Its feature includes Video Transcoding, it can convert any media file to be played in Nseries/and etc device such as PSP, ipod, xbox...

Jln Kenanga u?

Why debate over N82 quality? Who says N82 camera is bad? To me its a very decent camera. Anyway attached some pics I taken in HK/Macau last month using N82. Btw... comparing N82 vs my 4 year old Canon IXUS 430 is no way the canon can beat the N82 on night shots... I can't manage to get the same effect as in N82, but my gf's Sony cybershot camera with carl zeiss optics is much nicer in detail than N82. So I am very comfortable to have N82 to take pics anytime I want and I know I can have a decent shots anytime



This HUGE N82 advertisement is taken in HK shopping complex electronic store


Another part of the N82 advertisement (Too huge to take in one pic)


Taken in Disneyland, (Digital Zoomed)


Indoor shots at Disney train round trip waiting area


Night shot at Tarzan's tree house


Night shot at avenue of stars, Tsim Tsar Tsui (this look like noise is actually fog, coz that time its winter time)


And finnaly a shot taken at Macau famous landmark

Actually my camera skillz is not that good, just select the best ones I took Just the scenery is ideal for the shot The night shots really need a steady hand, or use 2sec timer to have a more steady shot.

souvenir finish distributed sorry, maybe next year, I will go again. Its nice place to travel.

Haha, just a stone throw away Looks like we have many BSD members around here

can can... can have a teh tarik session though

hey guys, I recall someone brought a 8gb Micro SDHC card from Low Yat or some other place recently... may I know what Brand and what price you brought? Think of buying one this weekend.

Btw... hows is the speed of the card compared to the out of the box 2gb ? Thanks

Ahh Sandisk, thats good How much you brought it? Before its available here, I was thinking of ordering from ebay as the price + shipping quite competitive...

DiGi? are you working for DiGi? Looking forward for the mobile number portability and 3G from DiGi, always the smarter choice

Added on March 1, 2008, 12:01 pmNo problem at all. Depending on the weather you can get a satelite lock within few seconds to 5 minutes, its my personal experience though.

Btw, after the firmware upgrade I don't experience hangging issues with the phone now. Anyone notice this?

Brought the Sandisk Micro SDHC 8gb for RM173. The average price is 199, but I managed to get one shop selling 173 I also did experience one shop trying to con me by selling RM270 $%^&$&#!

ohh btw sorry for the off topic post, DiGi's new CEO Johan Dennelind replacing Morten Lundal. This time this guy is a swedish.

well yeah, the only difference is that he is not wearing a omega he is wearing a Panerai Luminor. Quite a young guy just late 30s. The previous CEO Morten Lundal who has brought DiGi to what it is today is also about the same age like him. The pic is taken at DiGi HQ D'House subang hi tech, this week where they introduce the new CEO

Are you a Digizen?

Yes you can use the EDGE/WAP to surf net. I am using the GPRS to surf net frequently, accessing maybank2u.com.my to do online banking, Yahoo mail, also can connect to MSN/Yahoo using Fring

Added on March 2, 2008, 11:53 pmI think software its the same for AP/Ori, you can update the latest firmware yourself though. I did and found that N82 doesn't crash/hang anymore. For warantty of hardware defect, I think Ori will be better. If you have the budget then go for Ori > peace of mind

Just my 2 cents

I am using Postpaid.

Yes, but using Nokia Maps I never encountered these problem and its much accurate when it comes to positioning, more accurate than Malsing. But u need to pay for the Navigation la. Map detail wise still Malsing is better.

Added on March 4, 2008, 5:54 pmOhh really? are you based in HQ? Did you check out the explorer hub there? may I ask you which GPS you prefer? Nokia Maps or Garmin? Pay or no pay? U know what I mean using Nokia map you need to pay but will be charged as VAS (Value Added Service SMS) For me I trust nokia maps navigation more. After all we don't care of the VAS charges as long as its under the budget rite

Btw, whats you mean by clean up? Is there any tool for doing that? I can see my phone internal memory is growing slowly everyday.
