*OFFICIAL THREAD: Nokia N70

You are not able to change the font size using this method with phones with the Chinese language packs, I have a N70 RM-99 and also tried this method with the same result, I have also now seen this documented on other Sybian sites.
 
None taken. Anyway, I find the quality if my pictures fine with the N70. Great outdoor pictures especially in the daytime. The quality diminishes when you take pictures indoor or during night time as your pictures will have noise in them. I find the video capabilities of the N70 satisfactory in that it takes VHS quality videos. Just don't pan too much and you're videos will look good.
 
I've asked for the Euro version but i think the one installed in my phone is APAC2, i don't have much idea about it but the languages were changed from chinese to filipino, malaysian, indonesian and english..

flashing/reformatting took around 20-30 minutes...
 
You STILL didn't answer his question!

I've owned both the N80 and the N70 and the lag was much less than on the N80. You also don't have to hold the phone PERFECTLY still to take a picture like you do on the N80.

Of course close up pics won't be that great because it doesn't have macro or any workaround, but keep in mind we're still talking about a phone. Even the macro on the N80 had its limitations.

But there's a solution with this "problem". I also find it here in this forum, it says that you have to modify the GDR Creator so you would be able to create fonts for the N70 with Chinese Language Pack. I just dont know how to do it... :-(

My firmware:
V 5.0609.2.0.1
01-03-06
RM-84
 
For the LAST TIME, buy an N73 and keep your N70 bashing out of the N70 thread.

Keep one thing in mind. Applications for s60v2: 1698. Applications for s60v3: 114. And also enjoy the text message lag that all of the 3rd Edition phones are having.
 
Could somebody please tell me what could possibly be wrong with these pics taken from an N70?

First of all, the pics have too many dead pixels. Second, the shots shouldn't lose focus at this distance.
 
Goes somthing on the lines of below: BTW I take no credit for this just found it.

Changing Fonts:

Step 1. Send the .gdr (font) file to your phone. Do not open it as it will say unknown file format.

Step 2. Open FExplore (or any file explorer). Look for the .gdr file you sent in the Inbox.

Step 3. Cut/Copy the file and paste it in C:\System\Fonts folder. (create it if not present)

Step 4. Reboot your phone to apply changes.

i didn't make this procedure. credits go to the original author.

Chinese Font Solution:

Posted by: hardc0re
Hi guys,
After some digging around, I've found the trick to changing the system font for these phones (Chinese language pack). The trick is, the system font names are different for the Chinese language pack. So, how to make it work?
You have to "rename" the GDR fonts. This can be done by following exactly the procedure above, but before you run "Easy GDR creator", you need to modify one file:
template.bde
This file should be in the "C:\Program Files\Easy GDR Creater For Series 60" directory, or wherever you chose to install "easy gdr creator".
Replace that file with a text file that contains this:


Typeface tf_t1
Name "LatinPlain12" Proportional
FontBitmaps
lp12a
lp12b
EndFontBitmaps
EndTypeface
Typeface tf_t2
Name "LatinBold12" Proportional
FontBitmaps
lb12a
lb12b
EndFontBitmaps
EndTypeface
Typeface tf_t3
Name "LatinBold13" Proportional
FontBitmaps
lb13a
lb13b
EndFontBitmaps
EndTypeface
Typeface tf_t4
Name "LatinBold17" Proportional
FontBitmaps
lb17
EndFontBitmaps

Typeface tf_t5
Name "LatinBold19" Proportional

lb19
EndFontBitmaps

Then follow the procedure as per normal. It should work for most fonts. One limitation of "easy GDR creator" is that it cannot work with large TTF font files, like Arial Unicode for example.
 
^^ not really though, but it will be hard to get reception if you are in an 850 area.

anyways, just noticed with the new firmware for the n70, setting your log also affects your dialled numbers history. i have mine set for 1 day, all calls that i made yesterday are now gone and i have to go to my contact list and look for the name again, it sucks! it wasn't like these before. (...i just re-set my log to 10 days now)
 
oki thanks for your view here. have you owned the n80 as well as the n70?




oki thanks for this, but again you haven't answered my question...i am not talking about the quality of the images, i am talking about the lagg in the shutter.



oki good to hear from someone who has owned both phones.

i know what you mean about having to hold the phone perfectly still...otherwise the shot will just blur.

having the flash on doesn't help either if doing portraiture, because when the flash goes off the subject moves straight after, causing more blur.

i'm not too worried about the macro mode, because i won't do much close-up shots, but of course it is always welcome...

cheers
 
I just have my N70 flashed/reformatted/upgraded to latest firmware:

v5.0616.2.0.3
24-04-06
RM-84


I paid P550.00 for the upgrade at Nokia Service Center in Glorietta (Digital Exchange)
Well, primarilly, the problem with my N70 before was the "font thing" coz i cannot change it. It comes with a chinese language pack and i can hardly read the messages. Now it's solved!!! Hehehehe!!!!
