Symbian in Motion: [Update] Internet Radio by Nokia

  • N95 · 1 year ago
    that's right, it's really a very welcome progress from the old one. however, it's clearly a beta yet, because if you, for example, go to shoutcast.com and press the "tune in" button on your favourite channel, the first time you do this, it works just great! which is brilliant, of course :-) hovever, if you do it a second time, thats when it get's scary... an error message pops-up stating that the pls file cannot be downloaded, and even more scarier, you will not be able to back to teh browser anymore, because as soon as you select the browser in the task-mamager, you get back to the radio application.. at least that's what happens on my N95. could yomeone test that on his N95 as well? thanks

    Wow, sounds intense! I'll check it out in a bit and see if I get the same bug on my N95...

    works great even on E65 (with the N91 binary)
  • zach · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the report Stefan - yes I imagined that the N91 build would work on several devices. Odd that Nokia always tries to limit their reach with these apps.

    the N91 version crashes on my E65, even the uninstall crashes and required a "reset by removing the battery"
  • zach · 1 year ago
    Hmmm - Do you have the latest firmware?
  • zach · 1 year ago
    @N95 Just tried three shoutcast links and they all worked perfectly on my N95-3. Hmmm...

    coolest app from nokia stables in recent times.
    and its a beta version... :)
    so more to come may be.

    some work could have been done on making it compatible with older mobs as well.
  • zach · 1 year ago
    Agreed Derek - perhaps further support will be introduced down the road a bit.

    Hi there,

    The N91 version is working on my E61i (but the softkeys seems to be swapped).

    Let see how stable it is !

    Works great on the N95 !

    This is the second best thing on my phone after the GPS !!
    NICE

    hi zach, is this theme available for the e65? The theme is embedded in the beta radio and I would like to change my own theme so it blends right in :) tnx in advance
  • zach · 1 year ago
    Well the OEM Nokia version isn't available but many people have recreated the theme. Check out pasco's site as he has at least two versions on there.

    one thing I particularly love about this app is how you can set the maximum bitrate based on your connection... so EDGE/GPRS get one, 3G another, and WiFi a third.

    Killer!

    and more over u need not change things frequently.
    some runtime logic takes care of this.
    real cool...
  • zach · 1 year ago
    Indeed! We've discovered one or two annoyances though. Click through to check it out.

    Installed the N91 version on my E50, and works great. One has to first keep the GPRS connection active for the radio to work. Great application again by Nokia.

    Installed and loaded up on my N73 with no problems at all. Not running full data yet , but think I will need to kill off unlimited text and get data going now! :)
  • zach · 1 year ago
    Yes unlimited data is a must if you plan to use any connection other than WiFi! :)
