Well technically LCG Jukebox does not increase sound quality. It is the same as the default music player. It's just that the equalizer in Jukebox works better than the one in the Music player, which is why you get the feeling that it sounds better. Otherwise with the equalizer at normal (or flat) both the players sound the same.

Also you don't really need Mobitubia if you have Core player as there is built-in YouTube player in Core Player. Core player really is awesome. Whereas the built-in Real player in my 5700 cannot even play 30 fps QVGA videos smoothly, Core player can play even 30 fps VGA videos! Heck it even played the Smoking Apples podcast perfectly with all the chapters and different embedded images, something which only iTunes does properly.

Another small nice app is Large Time Screensaver. After installation you get an extra option is the screensaver option of large clock. Selecting that will display a large clock instead of the smaller default strip.

@krazzy
i dont know why i find operating coreplayer difficult..i just cant get use to it...! But anyways this is the best out there! Especialy in playing flv files! These days i have n80 in hand( this phone isnt that bad as u guys said atleast not for 6.5k i think) and the coreplayer was the only to play flv files full screen!

Use Opera Mobile. You can also use Opera Mini.

You can change the controls in Core player to suit your preferance. I have changed the entire keypad configuration in my Core player to same as in Jukebox. Now it is easier to control the player.

@casanova
use bass + treble preset and turn the highest and lowest frequencies up a bit and the mids, lower them a bit!
@girish
use opera mobile or opera mini!

@girish : you can hack ur s60 browser to download any file type using the coreplayer & yTasks trick.

A few more Mobiola webcam, Mp3cube, Resco news,Abbyy Business Card Reader, Nokia internet radio, Signsis, Ybrowser, Smartget, PythonS60, emTube etc.
Also try Resco Photo Viewer , much better than the inbuilt viewer imho.

Here is a fun app "WaterBox". It uses accelerometer to simulate water movements. Its kinda relaxing to watch

@powerup
which phone u use
i mean in my phone i can download any file
@everybody
can anybody help me to find pic to them for n80

@MasterMinds : I am using N82. In older phones like N73 & N80 u can download any file type afaik. But in the newer phones like N82, N95 etc u can't. U can only download phone supported formats. But through the hack i mentioned above u can.

A few more Wefi, StoegerTicker.

Also try Quake 1 & 2 for S60

Asphalt GT must have game ( experience NFS on mobile )
Prince of persia
Fifa 2008
Splinter cell
Bounce ( n-gage version )

@ Master mind

the bad thing about N80 is it's awkward resolution

XPlore
T9Nav (Beta)
Opera 8.65
Nokmote

Jbak Taskman
BT Switch
Smart Settings
FreeCallSprite
Free Time Box

teashark is good

Remove the memory card, if you are upgrading the firmware. Offcourse data in phone memory will be lost while doing a firmware upgrade, do back it up using pc suite beforehand.

He has a N82 which has UDP, so no data lost. But still better backup for extra safety.

I didn't knew he owns a N82, but still I prefer to install apps freshly when you upgrade the firmware.

And as always take frequent backups.

Yup its always better to reinstall apps after firmware update for optimum stability & performance. For example i noticed this after i upgraded my N73 and few of the java apps weren't working properly. A reinstall fixed the issue.

PS. i was talking about data like Contacts, Call logs etc.

what's udp. and will i lose the ngage application??

UDP preserves phone settings, applications etc in case of a format. You just have to restore UDP after the format is done & all your earlier phone settings,browser bookmarks, installed apps will be retained i.e no need to reinstall apps.

Think of UDP as backup of critical settings.

I donno about ngage app, but I guess it should retain the installed game data(saved files,user profiles etc).

UDP and Manual backup are two different things.

UDP (User data preservation) preserves data when the phone is upgraded to a newer firmware. So after the phone is upgraded , all the user data like contacts, apps etc. is not erased unlike in the older phones.

Note: UDP is only used in Firmware upgrade and not in Manual format.

For example after u have upgraded ur firmware, u can keep using ur phone without the need to restore as all data is preserved due to UDP.
But if u manually format ur phone ex. *#7370# then u will have to restore ur data from a backup.

does any browser come up with thing like save page as ?

M

humm i dont think so but opera saves the page very well for future viewing

Krates - what do you mean exactly by "save as"?

You mean to say format?

S60 browser has it, not sure if its in the html format. I think Opera mini also has it(doubt).

And guys check out "Jadestone Dirk Dagger And The Fallen Idol" for Ngage. Its quite a nice game

Opera mini does not save in html format.
I don't think the s60 browser does it too.

^ You are late again.

lol This is becoming a freakin habit.........must break it........must................................

damn too lazy

Force Unleashed is not that addictive. Actually there arent many good ngage v2 titles.
I wish they ported Pathway to glory to ngagev2. anyways from the current lot... Dirk dagger, brain challenge, Reset generation, creatures of the deep, mhp are good.

For some odd reason eBuddy refuses to install on my E61i, any other similar application..? Please let me know.
