I think the N73 is a great phone, but Nokia seemed to have slipped up on some minor functionalities (on N73 and other S60 phones), eg. auto keypad lock, birthdays in the calendar, the GoTo/pinboard menu...
This thread is aimed at identifying those small problems and FIXING them (with add-on symbian programs, updates, hacks, etc). Priority is given to free / freeware solutions. Please list your problems here and share your solutions (with freeware links - no advertising will not be allowed).
Problem => Fix
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. No auto KEYPAD lock => [INDENT]Petteri Muilu's Autolock:
fuse.stc.cx/autolock/2. No birthdays in calendar => Programs import birthday entries from contacts and auto-generate calendar reminders[INDENT]a) Sadira Technologies' Birthday Manager (freeware, Java Midlet)
Version 0.5.2 bugs - contact must have first and last name entries ; writing to calendar does not work yet on N73[/INDENT][INDENT]
b) SmartphoneWare's Best Birthday (commercial, symbian)
Works well[/INDENT]
3. Can't change items on Go To menu (also called "Pinboard"😉 => [INDENT]any suggestions?
(Is this perhaps only because my phone is branded?)[/INDENT]
4. (Re)define shortcut keys => [INDENT]any suggestions?
(eg text-select button has curently no function in active standby mode)[/INDENT]
5. Slow => [INDENT]Updating firmware helps[/INDENT]
6. Mac intergration => [INDENT]Update firmware (both phone & Mac OS), then use iSync[/INDENT]
