Nokia E6 and Belle

First of all, thanks to Nokia that the update is finally here. :smileyhappy:

 

I installed, everything went fine. 

Phone works fast or faster than with Anna and feels fresh again :smileytongue:

 

Some findings/problems:

-there is only one tone for message and email? As also for alarm.

-No favourites widget, you can only put individual shortcuts for people?

-Size of widgets  (calendar, email) cannot be changed?

-Camera sounds cannot be turned off anymore?! :smileyindifferent:

-You can change font size in messages again (previous 25.007 update had this bug) :smileyhappy:

-back button rules! :smileyvery-happy:

-connections menu is a really nice feature

Despite of the findings/problems, is it worth upgrading to Belle?

Downloaded the Belle update for the N8, E6 is updating as I write this comment. Quick impression - I do not like the new profile switch.
Present: E6, Lumia 800
Past: N8, N900, 5800 XM, 6500 Slider, 6303c

Re: Nokia E6 and Belle

I have installed Belle yesterday on my E6. I loved the interface very much but some of the options of 'Anna' were missing here quiet to my disappointment.

 

First of all the easy multitask viewing option of my Anna interface was missing here. Whenever I started a new program, the previous one was hard to find, even in the notification bar. I have to go again to the previous program through menu search.

 

Secondly by D-pad is not working as it should be. Only the right and left is working, its not going up and down. I have to screen touch all the time on my E6 Maybe Belle was designed exclusively for all touch screen phones. E6 and E7 being an exception. I have to get the feedback from E7 users, if they are facing the same problem.

 

any solutions please?

Re: Nokia E6 and Belle

Updated yesterday, there are some nice improvements.

 

What i don't like is the oversided e-mail and calander widget, i hope they'll be resizeble soon. You can't add you mail and callander on one screen :smileysad:

Nokia E6 and Buggy Belle

Belle is a disaster on my E6 

 

-The phone lags for unknown reasons way worse than Anna
-Push was bad before Belle it is worse now
-The widgets are too big and less functional than in Anna especially if you use email and calendar together.  No longer will both fit on one screen.
-Tapping widgets sometimes works and sometimes does not- mostly does not

-Email app opens by itself randomly

-Email does not update read status properly
-The browser looks good, but lags badly for unknown reasons
-My E6 runs hot

-Battery life has gone down dramatically

Such a disappointment especially after waiting so long for this update and hoping that it would fix bugs. I have an N8 and I was about to update the firmware, but decided to wait and see how it goes with E6. Glad I waited. I cannot believe that Nokia would make us wait for months or years in the case of the N8 for a decent IU than give us Buggy Belle.


But hey at least the UI LOOKS better. Nokia must hate its loyal customers.

Re: Nokia E6 and Buggy Belle

Belle works fine in my E6. Cant understand why you have such problems, it seems that something is wrong specifically with your phone.

Can,t understand why so many people are complaining about battery life. Mine e6 worked 4 days (playing angry birds, 3.5g, using wi fi an so on) even with Ana, and it seams with belle it will work even better.
Only thing I dont like with this phone is problem with notification light (don,t want to give phone away for keyboard change)

Re: Nokia E6 and Belle

If your phone is branded, the update still might be not ready yet (that is in my case). Check the following link: http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/nokia-belle-update/nokia-belle-update-availability - select you region and country and there you will find your operator. If you find the following status: "Software Under Creation", you will have to be patient :smileyhappy:.

Re: Nokia E6 and Belle

Similar problems here. e.g. typing this is very very sluggish! Battery drains and E6 runs hot. Is there a way to make reset and clean reinstall?

Factory reset saved my day! Everything works now without any delays. Must have been some burden from Anna data restore...

Re: Nokia E6 and Belle

Some features that I like about belle on E6:

1) Drag bar on top of the screen is very helpfull. Now you can actualy turn on an off with ease 3g, Mobile connections and wifi.

2) For my yahoo email client, I can see all my email folders. This was not possible with Anna.

3) On the main screen if I press left and right , it changes between the screens. This helps a lot combining keyboard with touchscreen in my opinion.

4) The little (battery, connections, etc) button above D-pad dissapeared. This helps alot, in my case, beacuse it got accidently pressed wille I was using D-pad to go down.

5) Overall experience is based more on the current OS, like Android.

Re: Nokia E6 and Belle

The email and calendar widgets are way to big for the E6. They do not fit on the same screen. It is a business phone. This is a MUST!
