Tutorial: How to make Nokia Messaging recognize your Gmail password

Returning back to Nokia full time has been pretty smooth for the most part. I installed all my main apps ie. Gravity, Snaptu, setup ShareOnline with my Pixelpipe credentials and a few other basic apps but when it came down to Nokia Messaging and Profimail I had a slight hiccup with the aforementioned apps recognizing my main gmail credentials.

I must have entered my password at least three or four times but Nokia Messaging on the web side did not alert me to any kind off error besides not accepting the password. Like a little mobile chap that I am, I always have a back up and that’s Profimail which is a rock solid application I’m sure many of you know already. Well, leave it to Profimail to give me an error. Well, so I Google the error and came up with this.

Fix Gmail IMAP Invalid Credentials or Web Login Requires (Failure) Error

1. First you must sign in on the web to your gmail account and then hit this link

Getting Symbian Software for your Nokia

Being a Nokia user for several years, one of my favourite “sports” is to search for new software. There are a lot of good applications, most of them freeware, ranging from Java, Python, Flash and, of course, native Symbian programs.

Today I want to share my usual ways to find new software. If you are new to Symbian you will see it’s not really hard to load your smartphone with games and useful apps. On the other hand, if you are an experienced user maybe you can find a link or two you didn’t already know. Let’s go.
