Hi, I would like to write a replacement for the S60 Active Screen (app that runs in the idle screen). But I can't find any documentation covering how to write/draw to the idle/active screen API's for S60 3rd edition. I dont mind if they are for C++ or Python bindings.

I have heard it many times that garbage collection in PyS60 is not up to to the mark. This imposes a lot of limits on writing cleaner code. Can I at least rely that the non cyclic references are cleaned up after a function exists. ...

Is it possible to do PyS60 development on Mac OS X? There is an XCode-plugin for Symbian C++ -development, but I don't know whether I can create Python-apps for my Nokia phone with that. I'm talking about a more thorough SDK experience than just editing files with Textmate/Emacs and copying them over to the device. ...
Hi, this my first shot at this awesome new (to me) programmers site, I hope someone is capable of enlightening me some :) Does anyone know if it is is possible to access some sort of error log on s60 devices? The only thing i can find that is somewhat related is a log of recent send/received packets and calls... The emulator is not a op...

I've made a python script which should modify the profile of the phone based on the phone position. Runned under ScriptShell it works great. The problem is that it hangs, both with the "sis" script runned upon "boot up", as well as without it. So my question is what is wrong with the code, and also whether I need to pass special parame...
I'm busy experimenting with TiddlyWiki and trying to get it to run on my Nokia E51, which uses S60v3. The browser is based on webkit, which should mean that I'd be able to get it to work, but no luck so far. Does anyone have any experience with saving files locally on this platform? ...

Hi, There used to be a HOSTS file on S60 3rd edition devices (see here). It was a great feature for QA. Anyone knows if there's such a file on S60 5th edition devices? Is there another way to tell the phone to go to a specific IP, given a host name? Many thanks, Ori ...
If a custom list control is to be developed for S60 5th edition phones, what is the best approach to do that? The control should enable rich presentation of data in custom layouts. It should be possible to include images, texts, buttons in every item. Each list item should be able to expand/collapse to provide more details about the ite...
From here I read S60 is currently amongst the leading smartphone platforms in the world. However I can't understand: What the S60 does, what is the need for a platform when there already exists an underlying Symbian OS? If I write applications in Symbian C++ or Java ME is it for the Symbian OS or the S60 platform? Can I directly wr...
The tiny question is: How to start (realplayer ?) playing given online resourse (e.g. http://example.com/file.mp3) PyS60, C++ or C# via RedFiveLabs would do. EDIT1: Title changed from "Start RealPlayer on symbian" to the more appropriate. ...

Has anyone built a Qt S60 app (3rd edition, FP2) that plays (streaming or local) video? I want to play video 'in' a widget, not with (say) QDesktopServices. I know there's documentation about how to do this with Symbian, such as here and here but I'm still stuck. (Apologies in advance for cross-posting: I've asked elsewhere, but with ...
I'm using a QPushButton in an S60 Qt app. I want the button icon to change when it has focus. I've tried this... navButton->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(c:/Data/navArrowsNotSelected.png);"); setStyleSheet("DoubleViewWidget QPushButton:focus {background-image: url(c:/Data/navArrowsSelected.png); border: 2px solid yellow}"); ....
