Alessandro did it again and created a great article together with sample code and application FliKun. With FliKun, you can upload any picture from your Nokia S60 phone to Flickr with GeoTagging, with Flash Lite and KuneriLite!
Today, we’ll see how it’s possible to build a Flickr uploader in FlashLite using KuneriLite, geotagging them with the current GPS location.
Due I am a newbie on Macbook and have never had to use my Nokia till today (see my How to connect Internet using a Nokia on Macbook post), I didn’t know how to browse my Nokia (N95) on Macbook (Leopard).
Can’t be simpler:
1. Download and install Nokia Multimedia Transfer
2. Run NTM
3. Connect your N95 using USB cable and select ‘PC Suite’ on the phone
4. Click on NMT icon on top bar and select ‘Tools and Settings -> Open Nokia Device Browser’
That’s all :)
Ugur.-
I used to use my lovely Nokia N76 (or N95) to connect to Internet with my unlimited GPRS (3G) data plan, whenever I had to sit on my ass for many hours in a train. I said I “used to”, because I neither use PC nor a Nokia (sorry guys, Apple stole my heart). Today, I gotta sit in a train for 5 hours, therefore had to figure out a way to connect to Internet with my Macbook and iPhone. But the thing is: I don’t have a 3G iPhone (yet), therefore I had to figure out how I could connect to Internet with my Nokia N95 on my Macbook (Leopard), which would be faster.
So this is how;
1. Go to ‘System Preferences’ on your dock
2. Select ‘Network”
3. Plug in your Nokia to your Macbook via USB cable (faster)
4. Select ‘PC Suite’ on the phone
5. You should now see your Nokia connected on left pane. Click on it.
6. Check ‘Show modem status in menu bar’ option and click on Advanced
7. Choose ‘Nokia’ as vendor and enter your APN (you can find it on N95 under Tools->Settings->Connection->Access Points->(Carrier name)->Access Point Name) and hit OK.
8. Click ‘Apply’ (this is important, otherwise nothing will happen)
9. Click ‘Connect’
That’s all. If it doesn’t connect you might need to enter a phone number, user name or password depending on your operator. Please contact to your operator or see operators web site for details.
Hope helps.
Ugur.-
Alessandro has a great step-by-step tutorial about creating an application displaying current GPS position with Flash Lite and KuneriLite.
Today’s tutorial is about using Google Maps static images, and GPS data, to display maps in a FlashLite application using KuneriLite.
There are also source codes and installation package available. Check it out!
All thanks go to Alessandro!
UPDATE: Article is available at Forum Nokia Wiki as well.
I recently felt the need of changing my VMWare Fusion 2.0 Beta, because it kept on locking my Mac. I found VirtualBox, which is recently acquired by Sun, offered for free and has a recent release 1.6. I read some nice reviews, and although it lacks some features, looks like it’s quite fast and reliable (will review it when I get to use it more).
First thing I needed to do with VirtualBox, after setting up a Windows was to share files between my Mac (Leopard) and Windows (XP). VirtualBox does not offer drag and drop for now, but hopefully will do soon. To share files between 2 computers:
Go to “Devices->Install Guest Additions”. After selecting this, open “My Computer”, and you will see there is Guest Additions installer mounted. Just double click and install. After installing, do not forget to reboot (that’s important).
Go to “Devices->Shared Folders”. Press “Add” (+ sign on right side). Browse for your shared folder on your mac. Pick up a good name and note it down (we will use the name later on). I suppose you selected a folder to share and named it “shared”.
On Windows XP, shared folders are browsable. Easiest way to mount shared folders is to create a batch file, instead of writing a command each time you login. To do that, right click on Desktop, select “New->Text file”. Rename your text file to “Mount.bat” (or something else you wish). After renaming, right click on it and select “Edit” and paste the code below (with necessary modification, depending on your shared folder name. I assume it’s “shared” in our case)
net use x: \\vboxsvr\shared
Beware of the space in between “x:” and “\\” otherwise you will get;
System error 67 has occured
Which in my opinion a common mistake. Save the file and you are done. Just double click on “Mount.bat” on your desktop and you will see X: drive will appear with your shared folder on My Computer.
Enjoy :)
If you like Inkscape (an open source alternative to Adobe Illustrator) and have a Mac with Leopard; you will figure that it after installation it will not work. It will say that font caching might take time, but never start. It’s because of a simple bug, with a simple solution. Just open a terminal (Applications/Utilities) and type this, followed by an enter;
mkdir ~/.fontconfig
After that it should start normally.
And a note: Latest snapshot doesn’t seem to work. Just grab the latest stable package.
Pasi created this wonderful article, showing how to use device camera to take pictures, resize them and upload to a remote web server with Flash Lite using KuneriLite.
You can download and use the application on your Flash Lite 2.x or Flash Lite 3.0 enabled device. Pasi also published source codes, which can provide a great resource for all.
“My first test is to do Flash Lite application which takes pictures and sends those to server side. This testing application sends pictures to my server http://ptm.fi/temp folder, so check you uploaded photos from there.”
Here is a great article from Hayden on Forum Nokia Wiki; Build reusable Flash Lite 1.1 component. Flash Lite 1.1 is still my favorite version, and I really like to see such solutions.
Just saw that Pasi has a nice article telling step by step how to setup a system to play FLV and live video with Flash Lite 3.0 and Flash Media Server 3.
See here for details.
Eventhough we love Flash Lite, mobile web is still the only solution to reach most people out there. Whatever application or service you create, there has to be a ‘Web side’ to make it a complete service. I just spotted a nice article on SitePoint giving cool tips on how to create mobile web sites. Check it out, you will need it some day.
BTW, stay tuned, Kuneri is coming with a cool solution for anyone to create mobile web sites the easiest way (as usual in Kuneri style ;) ).
