Frustrating tabs

Troubleshooting S60 5th Edition

Q. I've got a Nokia S60 5th Edition phone and have a wierd problem. Everything works fine apart from dialogs which have tabs in them. Here, my taps on each tab have no effect and I'm effectively restricted to just the first tab. Very frustrating. Any ideas?

A. I've seen this behaviour before and it's to do with your theme not being 100% compatible with S60 5th Edition. Switch back to the default 'Sound waves' theme (or similar) and we think the problem will go away. Next, look out for themes which both attractive AND 100% compatible with your new smartphone! If you're desperate for a theme which is bright and clear and which works fully, try 'Ice' by PiZero (www.pizero.net) - or indeed anything by PiZero or one of the other trusted S60 theme makers.
