microUSB charging problems
Q. My new smartphone isn't charging very fast via its microUSB port. Is microUSB limited in this way? Each charge is taking five hours!
How can I avoid duplicate contacts when syncing to Ovi? Syncing is broken
Q. Through changing devices, I've ended up in the situation where my contacts are fine on my S60 phone and look fine on Ovi, but when I try syncing, I end up with either missing data (phone numbers) or duplicate entries. The syncing's well and truly broken and there don't seem to be any Ovi tools to fix it.
Can I use memory cards of over 8GB in my S60 phone?
Preserving Java game downloads
Q. I bought several games from both my network provider and through Nokia's Download! catalog, but now I've switched to a new phone and I'm annoyed that I'll have to buy the games all over again for the new device. Surely there's a way to transfer a game from one device to another?The manual's too slim. Where's all the extra info I need?
Q. Why do manuals seem to get slimmer and slimmer each year?

Q. I paid for a year's navigation on my S60 smartphone but then I upgraded the firmware and now navigation doesn't work anymore. Surely I don't have to pay all over again?Problems installing and removing Smart2Go

Q. I have a Nokia N95 which I'm generally pretty happy with. One oddity is that, having copied over hundreds of MP3 and WMA music tracks, in named folders, from my PC onto my microSD card, none of them display the album artwork in the N95's Music player.
Screensavers and battery life
Q. What's happened to the battery life of my S60 smartphone? From going a couple of days easily without recharge, I'm down to a full charge every morning! All I've installed recently are Handy Weather and Smart2go!Viewing all my system files
Q. Can I view the contents of my S60 3rd Edition system folder? I like to fiddle...Browsing the contents of another phone via Bluetooth
Q. Is it possible to browse the contents of another phone via Bluetooth? My old Samsung could do this. Once paired you would also have the option to browse the files of the phone (images, video and audio).Do I need a firewall?
Q. On my PC I have the ZoneAlarm firewall loaded all the time, to protect myself against Internet-borne nasties. Do I need to do something similar for my smartphone?How to select non-contiguous items
Q. How can I select multiple items that aren't next to each other in my smartphone's Gallery?How can I search through all my information?
Q. I've got quite a bit of information tucked away in my PIM apps, plus other office documents and general files on my Nokia smartphone. But how can I perform a global search for a piece of text? On my old Palm OS handheld, this was possible, is there not an equivalent in Symbian OS?Search Support
