I’ve just bought C7, but I think it’s the same matter of N8. and I have tried to use Voip with Skype, Fring, Mobilevoip.
All these 3 applications crash down when trying to make calls. Wifi network is correctly configured.
Skype logs in correctly, you can chat and send sms, but not make a phone or Skype call. Latest version was released last december.
Fring logs in correctly, you can chat but not make Fring calls. I have configured the Sip client but nothing to, finally crashes the same. I have recently updated Fring with latest version.
MobileVoip is a specific program for sip calls (eg voipstunt, smsdiscount, justvoip, smartvoip, voipalot, etc). The service is provided from Betamax. It is very simple and smart, there is no need of any configuration, only username and password are needed. It cannot log in, the phone freezes for about one minute, then application crashes.
I have read something about the problem on various forums, and as I can understand voip calls cannot be actually performed on Symbian ^3. I have installed a firmware update after purchase (from 012.004 to 014.002). So all is updated.
All such 3 applications run perfectly on Symbian 5th, I had a 5800XM before, and all is still all ok.
I have not understood if this is a Nokia Symbian ^3 problem, so we have to wait an update patch from Nokia, or if it is a problem concerning each voip application (Skype, Fring, etc.) so we have to wait updates from them.
Can anyone explain me more about this please?
To tell the truth if I knew this problem I would have not bought C7, or at least I would have waited to purchase. Sometimes I travel abroad and these voip services are very useful on Wifi. I have to bring my old 5800 if want to make voip calls, and left my new C7 in a drawer awaiting future updates.
I tried to install Nokia voip frame work (downloaded here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/d476061e-90ca-42e9-b3ea-1a852f3808ec/SIP_VoIP_Settin... and configuring Sip Voip settings. I successfully used this feature in a N85 two years ago. I put the same parameters, but it seems not to run, there is an error in registration. Maybe parameters are different in Symbian ^3, can anyone help me please? Or is there a site where all parameters are indicated? The latest Pdf userguide is dated 2008, but parameters seem to be the same.
I disappoint all this, it would be a good device.
Besides, just to notice, the maps provided with Ovi Maps are not updated, I have some examples of new crossroads in my city that permit me do deduce that maps are 4 or 5 years old!!! It’s a pity, the platform would be very good.
Another thing: I tried to register a new account at https://email.nokia.com, but you can only log existing users. Really, I cannot found where to register new users. Can anyone help please?
Incredible, c’mon Nokia, what are you doing?? Before you offer some services and features, and then there is an impossibility to use them!!! We are talking about smartphone. What do we buy them for? Obviously to install and use applications. Now I cannot see why I have to renounce to use what I used before in the past. And now I’m loosing a lot of time trying to use these applications and services.
They say that a good service and consumer’s satisfaction is the best advertisement. I think that the opposite is true too.
What’s happening?
If this is not the correct place where to post all these things please tell me where to post.
Thanks a lot in advance
