Nokia N97, FW 11.

Unfortunately, doing a hard reset is the only way for us (having the component built in issue) to install maps 3 at the moment (yes the process can be painful). If you can wait, a later firmware update may come with map 3.0.

I tried the new Java runtime with some of my own Java apps. First of all, it would be good to understand what is happening behind the scenes when all Java applications are being 'converted' immediately after the JRT has been installed. All my apps store data locally in Java recordstores - are these being converted to a new format?

Anyway, I did not see any noticeable increase in speed using the new runtime. I did hit two problems. Firstly, one of my apps uses the switch 'Nokia-MIDlet-Background-Event: pause' in the jad file to detect when the app comes to foreground. This behaviour wasn't replicated with the new runtime. Secondly, another of my apps uses a large (>3 meg) recordstore. Normally this takes about 4 secs to open on my 5800. With the new runtime, it fails to open - no error message but just waits indefinitely.

Lastly, I was hoping that you might have fixed the really annoying bug in javax.microedition.lcdui.TextBox where the cursor position always defaults to the last character, instead of respecting the value of getCaretPosition(). Unfortunately, the bug is still there :-(

If you want more details of these errors then please contact me at malcolm@freepoc.org

Best regards,
Malcolm

I would like to know how to be contributor of month with a forum activity so poor? Or there is an error in his counter?

Does it support JSR-256 yet???

I'm a developer looking to use Java to make a game that uses the rotation sensors, touchscreen and opengl (or whatever 3d api is available for the platform) - so far all the runtimes (apart from c++) have fallen short in one area (PyS60 doesn't have touch on the glCanvas yet, Java: no sensor support. Symbian C++: too difficult to learn, too expensive to make performance apps, reliant on Windows).

Please can you add JSR-256 as Java seems to be the best option to develop the game in.

First: Thank you for Ovi Maps 3.0 - it is better and faster than 2.0! ;-)

I´ve found a Showstopper Bug! This shoudn´t be in the final Version!

EDIT: OK - i have found it - You have to enter the correct Country in all of your Contacts - then it is working as it should! - Dumb me and dumb Bug!

This is my Problem:

I´ve installed OVI Maps 3.0 on my 5800 - deleted and updated Maps of Europe - Licence - everything is ok!

But when i startup Maps 3.0:

- klick on the Loupe (search)
- address
- select contact by name - the correct address info appears in the corresponding fields
- country is missing
- i selected "Austria/Österreich" from the dropdown field
- the street, number, city is automatically deleted!

How to select a contact adress, when the info is deleted, when you select the country?

Have a nice holiday!

P.S: Sorry for my cross-posting!

I connect my 5800 in PC Suite mode and start Nokia Maps Updated.

It finds my cable connected 5800 and then crashes out with the following "Nokia Maps Updater Application has encountered a problem and needs to close"

That is as far as it gets every time. I have removed it, rebooted the system and reinstalled Nokia Maps Updated.but I cannot get it to work.
It seems like a few people are seeing this issue now.

Advice?

Here we are again, my friends. June is over and it's time to nominate the Nokia Beta Labs Contributor of the Month. Since Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0 beta launch was the most significant release from us, I asked the Ovi Suite team to choose the winner. And now, I'm proud to present you  grisu70!!

As your prize, you'll get a Nokia football, a Nokia sports bottle, and a fancy Nokia Ovi Suite t-shirt:



Congratulations!!

P.s. whereas many of our past winners have been writing hundreds of feedback posts day in day out, grizu70 has written only a few to-the-point feedback posts for Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0. With this prize, we wanted to recognize the importance of newcomers and occasional contributors, because it is crucial that Beta Labs stays open and welcoming for all, instead of turning into an old-boy network between the ultra-active contributors only.
