N70 and Symantec

[Jon3G]

just wondering if the symantec firewall and antivirus software comes with both sim free and branded handsets

The firewall is a cool feature not sure what its going to block but the virus protection is a must have for todays smartphones

Hi there,

I have just received a Vodafone N70, which includes the symantec package.

However Ihave not been able to get a live update yet.

Hi booslums, welcome to Talk3G!

I'd very much like to have a look at this Symantec package... what are your views on it? Does it seem easy enough to use? Is there a notable performance hit when it's running?

Hi Ben,

The software does not impair or sloww down the phone, however
each time I have tried to Live Update virus definitions a message unable to connect to server appears.

Hopefully this will rectify itself.

Hmm..

I dont think I got this with my N70...

When the live update connects and it asks you what connection to use, you need t select the internet GPRS connection and not the WAP GPRS connection

Let me know if that fixes the problem

Welcome to Talk 3G BTW

Mine was from Vodafone too.

Have you changed the memory card? if you have the application is on there

Thanks Jon,

I used Contract Internet & Virus Definitions were upgraded in about 30 seconds.

No other upgrades are available at present.

"By jove Holmes!
I think you've done it!"

Yeperoo mate. Didn't even put the one that came with it in it.
Whacked my 512mb straight in.
Right then - I'll have to dig that out when I get in.
I assume the application can be moved from the Mem Card to the Phone Memory?

Cheers dude - I didnt even think about the MC.

[Ben]

LoL!

If you have a card reader I'd advise copying the contents of the smaller card onto your 512mb one - that's what I did with my 6680.

[Yssybyl]

There are quite a few apps on the "provided" MMC that may be of use (vary depending on region/operator so don't complain if you don't have them all):

Antivirus, Wireless Keyboard App, Push to Talk, PDF reader, Powerpoint/Word/Excel Readers, Settings wizard [very useful if you've been mucking about with your settings and want to restore them to your operator standards...], Opera, Yahoo communicator, Infoprint, Lifeblog, Kodak Mobile, Catalogue and a 3d Snowboard game [very reminiscent of the early Tony Hawks skateboarding games, but on snow ]

Shame on any of you who never tried the provided MMC

[whatleydude]

Buggrit.

I don't have a card reader..
Is there another way?

( and the card comes WITH Opera?! DUDE! Why doesn't anybody tell me this kind of stuff! )

EDIT:

Grr - Just remembered that the card is in the drawer with all my other memory cards.
I reckon I could be looking for it for a while..
Damn Damn Damn.

[Yssybyl]

*grins*

I bet you didn't read any of the bits of paper that came with your phone did you? I'm sure it mentions all the third party applications that come on the MMC in one of the little booklets

Unfortunately it doesn't say it's the N70 on the MMC so you'll just have to extract all the 64MB ones and try them one at a time...

[whatleydude]

What if i...

Put the 64mb card in my N70. Copy the contents..
Then put the 512mb card in my N70 and then Past the contents?
Would that work?

Dammit..

Grr..

The N70 card has more metal contacts than the previous MMC cards.

My model is a Vodafone N70, but I cannot find Opera, Yahoo,
Kodak or Catalogue on the card.

[Yssybyl]

As I said, the contents vary with operators. If you have the "unbranded" version then you should have all in the list [with the possible exception of push to talk].

Opera should be in "My Own" [when the MMC card is inserted] and is a red O with the name "www". If it isn't there then Vodafone have decided you don't need it

[whatleydude]

Thing is -
I downloaded:
PTT, PDF/Powerpoint/Word/Excel Reader, Settings Wizard, Agile Messenger, Opera V8, Info Print, Lifeblog, Kodak Mobile, Catalogue and the snowboard game..

The only thing I dont have is the Anti-Virus and the Yahoo Communicator (never heard of the latter) - but I'll have a look when I get home tonight just in case.

I'd like an N70 compatible version of Opera too..

[Yssybyl]

In which case, don't worry about copying the contents of the card, just find it and install the antivirus and then throw it back in your drawer and forget about it [but next time you get a new phone check what's on the memory card first ;P]

At the risk of veering off topic...is the opera version 8 you downloaded not compatible?

if you type in "about: opera" instead of a URL you get the info, I have: (without the space between the : and o but if I type this then it turns into a smiley )
Version: 8.00
Build: 6339
Platform: Symbian/S60

Any build number higher than this should definately be compatible.

uaohh how did u download all these stuff?? my n70 too doesn't come with opera, yahoo, kodak,catalogue... how do you get to the settings wizard? sorry guys im a bit new to this, but im also having problems sending mms size above 90KB. they are not sent. the first one i tried to send was a video message. it is still in the outbox even tough i delete it!! i doesn't go away and its a bit annoying coz the little icon for the outbox appears on the first-main page(top right side), and i cannot delete it. my phone its a vodafone and i think it came with all the settings preinstalled.

also does anyone know how to check which is the symbian software version?? please help
