@lefti696,

First of all there's no need to get that MAD about a freaking phone meant for the Enterprise...

Secondly, there IS a way to do what you want to accomplish with the E71 and photos... You need to get Resco Photo Viewer, it's an awesome app for retouching photos, even resize!

So cool down and purchase Resco Photo Viewer and be happy with your life!

If it does not meet your high expectations, just sell it and again be happy with your life.

About the flash, I agree that it's a PITA, but it's got something to do with US or International requirements since you can't record video without letting people know you are recording them. Go figure... There is a hardware mod on the N95 to disable it, google for a similar approach on the E71, if any.

On the MMS, I don't even know what you taling about... I use email instead! (what? you have an E71 without an unlimited data plan???)

On the strange sound while scrolling, I don't have that problem, but you can try to disable the key sounds.

Remember, this is only a gadget for crying out loud!

Be happy!
RayanMX

I think it's a great phone! Only wish for better photos (definitely not a match for a 3.2MP camera) and fix the choppy sound when you press the keys (sometimes).
Can't wait for the new firmware.
Any ideas when is it going to be released?

Cheers!

[rayanmx]

In the meantime you can use Resco Photo Viewer to fix photos (just need to take the blue channel four steps down) and disable the key sounds...

Cheers!

@rayanmx
i am mad. why everything can be easier ?
yes i know about resco but when i edit photo by resco and save it and then exit and open photo by photo browsing build in system it is unchanged. despite that, that kind of cunction should be biuld in. why i should buy software which should be in phone ?
and about mms, sony ericsson P1i is also high end phone and allow to rotate phote directly from mms editor, as well as time of display of each slide, setting background color and much more.
yes i disabled sounds of keys but IT IS NOT A SOLLUTION ! as you may read some posts before, not only me have this kind of problem.

[rayanmx]

I know... I know... All this need to be fixed (and can be fixed) with a Firmware upgrade fortunately... It's just that there's no need to get mad at it. Like I said, if you are not happy with the E71 as it is right now, just sell it...

No offense...

However, let's remember that when the N95 came out, it too had several ugly issues that got resolved eventually with firmware upgrades, so let's be patient since they will come sooner or later... (I too hope for the former)

[lefti696]

yes i know it can be fixed, but when ? i am mad and i will be, cuz i paid for that phone a lot $ and i cannot return it now ant get money back, i dont want to sell because i dont get as much $ as i paid for it ! i regret that i havent waited for xperia.

[lefti696]

and resco software is not worth installing because of editing photos. eg i take a photo, open it via resco edit than save and i can see edited photo so i press send by mms and i see what insterted there ? orginal not modified photo ;/ but its not a resco support site so dont say: when your camera take too purple picuter use resco. please

[rayanmx]

I don't know under MMS, but I use Resco for fixing my photos prior to sending them via Email, Bluetooth or transfer to PC without any problems whatsoever.

It does a good gob, I don't know what's your problem with it...

I agree that photos taken with the E71 should not be purpleish, but in the meantime it's a great solution...

Don't just say NO to my proposed solution, please offer another solution or workaround yourself for others to test.

[lefti696]

hmm, you dont undestand me. i just checked, i edited photo and send it by bluetooth to my notebook and there is received not edited orginal state photo in notebook. that is why im telling you that resco does not work as it should.thats why im saying that your sollution is not working so you should not give your advices because they are wrong. i will not offer another solution, if i know one i wouldnt write there about my problems .

please dont say that faulty working camera is "great solution.."

A big problem for our corporate users is that the Home Screen doesn't stretch to fill the full width of the screen. The are below the clock is unused.

Nokia: Please fix bluetooth conection (reconnects every few seconds with my Pioneer Car player)

[linwood]

These forums are for user to user troubleshooting. If you want to get in touch with Nokia, I would suggest using the contact us link at the top of the page and then either email or call them.

I guess people are just annoyed that a piece so brilliant has been uncooked and spoilt. To be honest, considering the amount of competition, and now with the growing additional aspect of having android in the picture, I think companies should try and make their users loyal to them and not alienate them.

Take my case for example. I have been using the E61. when I first went in for the phone, I thought great. Good hardware upgrade, should be a good software upgrade as well. Plus with the large symbian application base it should be easy to continue what I need. Not to mention a 3.2MP camera.

So far, I've had to return my phone for another piece (will be delivered this week or so) as one of the main problems I got was Camera: Feature not supported.

The keyboard is tinier so people sometimes tend to stumble, this ofcourse was a choice I was ready to live with since you can see the piece before you buy it, along with a tinier screen.

In a day where people tend to make larger screen displays, we are going backwards to a smaller screen display trying to catch up to the blackberry design.

Personally I think nokia is trying to do this because of the blackberry market, but honestly, they really should look at alternative vendors who can be bigger threat in the long run.

The question of whether or not its a business phone is actually secondary. The main point is, if your 2mp camera can get X quality pictures, why is your 3.2mp camera getting lower quality?

Another thing, did anyone actually try the business card reader? I havent got it to read a single darn card. Whereas my brothers old P990i used to read them. If once again its targetted to the business user, this should have been tested better.

The last time I got in touch with nokia, they just said thats the way it is. And when there is an update I can try again. I dont want to have to sell this phone to buy it later. I trust nokia, and therefore expect them to live upto that standard.

One thing I didnt understand is why they didnt put in the accelerometer in the E71 as well. Isnt the idea to blow the competition away? OR just copy them?

I am hopeful nokia will fix this soon, and perhaps update the software with something which works.

SMS Scheduler: Schedule SMS to be sent at particular date and time (reference Symbian 80 series).

It is great function in Nokia's Symbian 80 series (9210, 9500, 9300, 9300i) and so far is not in any Symbian 60 series. It was so disappointing to see Nokia E90 do not come with such feature. It will be great if this can be added into e90 and e71.

[lefti696]

in a meantime i noticed that e71 should have smileys in a chr button menu, as well as such a geat feature that most modern phones have - last used contacts list when adding recipient in sms editor. once again i beg for photo editor

@lefty696

I don't want to argue with you but I don't like your tone at all.

You arrogantly said "...so you should not give your advices because they are wrong"

If you don't know how to use a freaking application (Resco Picture) or how to use a device then that's your problem.

Resco Picture is working perfectly fine to me or perhaps I should say I KNOW HOW TO USE IT! I can save my changes without issues.

Also I never said this: "please dont say that faulty working camera is "great solution.." ... I was talking about Resco being a great solution in the meantime, so you also better learn to read.

Once you learn how to use the E71, Resco Picture Viewer and also read and comprehend then and only then you can argue all you want

I think Nokia should consider the SP2 for E-71.

One annoying thing is that any application keeps asking you the access point. I think this issue is not there with SP2 where the phone tries the Wifi and if not found then goes to GPRS/EDGE instead.

Also during a call, the voice command button should work as a 'record' button to record the conversation.

The fonts used in the entire phone are jarring. I am used to the WM fonts that are softer and smaller so can fit more on each screen.

Thanks

Honestly, I think lefti and everyone in the forums do have a point. There are hacks and ways around things. But if your the built in software does what its supposed to, you dont need to go through 3rd party apps.

If the older generation phones like the n73 can take better pictures than 3.2mp phones made by nokia itself, thats kind of a bad thing. At the end of it, the e71 is competing for the top end phone. And Nokia should really consider how it would adversely affect them to lose customer loyalty. It just is not worth it. They have lost ground in uk and various locations. Do they really want to lose more people to other brands?

Most people do understand that the software can make a world of a difference. You can have high grade hardware, but badly written software can make even the best of hardware look bad, or in retrospect good code can make bad hardware look good.

I do agree with lefti on a few things, Why do i have to depend on a third party solution for taking pictures? Thats almost as bad as using the iphone with various hacks.

Its starting to make more sense to go for alternate bases such as windows mobile, iphone, and such because your hardware on its own is pretty powerful, and you can just update the roms every so often. Most of those phones are already 450+mhz. If i have to use hacks, I would have gone for those phones. Also the card reader software there works!
