Mobile Dictionary not working

I have a problem getting my Mobile Dictionary app to work on my 5800XM. It used to work fine, but now each time I start up the app it briefly shows the main screen (where I can see the words 'no date') then shuts down again.

 

If I install a language pack it installs fine, but when I start up the Dictionary application I am presented with only two options - remove the language pack or exit. If I remove the language pack then I am dumped back out again as soon as it uninstalls.

 

This is driving me nuts!

 

Anyone have any advice?

 

Thanks!

Re: Mobile Dictionary not working

Hi, this won't solve your problem directly, but if you download Snaptu from the web , it has a great Dictionary, plus many other useful features, its one of the shortcuts I have on my home screen.

Good Luck

Hey, thanks for the tip. I had not come across Snaptu before and it was like opening a christmas present when it's multi-icon screen first came up :smileyhappy:  Lots to explore in there, and the dictionary looks good.

 

Still wish I could get the Nokia Dictionary app to work though - it is good for quick translations (my Swedish is hopeless) and you can use it offline. If anyone knows how to fix this I'm all ears!

 

Cheers

Andy

Re: Mobile Dictionary not working

Again, a nice little app - thanks. Always enjoy free solutions! Kudos to you sir :smileyhappy:

 

Tiny niggle is that it still requires an online connection, but I'm not planning on a Skandinavian translation of War and Peace so not a biggy!

 

Cheers

Re: Mobile Dictionary not working

No probs, I'm always Googling 'symbian apps' or 'apps for N97' and every now and then find something good. Enjoy.

Cheers
