[UPDATE] Guardian Beta 4 by Symbian Toys

Guardian by Symbian Toys has been updated again !

Fixed bugs:

- Localize Command correctly sends the Cell-Id after the desidered timeout for gps.
- Delete Command correctly removes Images and Videos from the device.
- Forward Command propely works also with partially-corrupted contacts entries.

Improvements:

- For better testing Localize Command, you can now specify the timeout for gps location retrieving.
Note that the Localize, will not search for Bluetooth GPS devices, but it will use them if they’re already connected to the phone and provides valid GPS Location.
- Delete Command doesn’t “freeze” the device during it’s operation (note that, like in Localize, to correctly test this command, you have to keep the Guardian’s interface opened until the operation has been finished…)
- In the final version of Gold and Platinum editions, will be possible to add unlimited sims to the authorized sim list.

New:

- Registration menu’ is now avilable and partially working…
After you’ve selected “Register -> Via Internet”, enter this LicenseID “AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAA” and a “Registration Complete” message will appear.
Entering any other LicenseID will result in an error message.
- Alarm Command has been introduced. Will sounds a loud alarm for 5 seconds.

Known Issues:

- Some navigation softwares, communicates directly with the Bluetooth GPS, (eg. tomtom) in such cases Localize will not be able to use the Bluetooth GPS device to provide the Location.

[UPDATE] Smart Settings v1.01 beta 3

A new beta for Smart Settings is available (for beta testers) that will fix the following problems:

Start Menu: unable to start unsigned application ( QReader, Papyrus, Aqua Calendar, Bible Reade, FExplorer, ... )

[HOT] Mobifun Smart Settings v1.00 coming soon !

Today, i'll give some screenshots of the upcoming 3rd edition version of Smart Settings, i'll remind you that is designed to protect your phone and make its appearance unique. It combines the possibility to lock the keyboard, prevent from using the phone's 10 digits Master Code in case of lost, customize lock messages and access easily the most common applications (by exactly 2 keystrokes).

* Start Menu: It provides a way to customize your phone so that it looks in your own unique way. You can use these set of features for quick access of the your favourite applications. For them you can chose speed keys (1-9). After, these applications will be accessible by the Left Selection Key + Their Speed Key.
* Easy Unlock: Forget the boring Unlock + * and choose the most convenient unlock combination for yourself, your phone was never that cool
* Security: You can disable the Master Security Code, so no one can unlock your phone in just a few seconds.

NB : Due to some Symbian 3rd edition limitations, there are differences between Smart Settings 2nd and 3rd edition:
1. You can no longer change the name of the start menu
2. You can no longer disable the standart unlock combination (Unlock+'*')
3. There is 4 seconds delay if the start menu is on the left side button (there is no delay for slider phones or for the right side)



Smart Settings for Symbian 3rd edition phones will be released by the end of February 2008.
