Video: Nokia fixed one of my S60 annoyances!

I changed "Symbian Annoyances" to "S60 Annoyances" since Tommi made the platform’s architecture much clearer for me.

Remember this earlier post:

Take an S40 phone. Leave it alone until it goes in to screen saver mode. Hit a number on the keypad. What happens?

The screensaver turns off, and the number you hit on the keypad is now on your screen.

Take my Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E61. It’s in screen saver moder. Hit a number on the keypad. What happens?

The screen saver turns off. That’s it. At this point I have to push that number again for it to show up on my screen.

When I was using the N93 I didn’t have this problem because it was a
flip phone. Now that I’m back to using my E61 I never realized how
annoying this bug is!

My source, who chooses to remain annoyomus, sent me this video:

What you see here is the Nokia N76 (S60v3FP1) going in to screen saver mode. When he hits the 3 button the screen saver turns off and the number 3 shows up on the screen!

Problem solved!

The Nokia N93i (S60v3) next to it replicates the exact same behavior my E61 has.

    I don’t think it’s opposite good because of the lack/bad autolock programs. If the autolock would function with some keys you defined for yourself ie. a fast double click on number 7.

    Not all Series 40 phones operate like you describe. My wife’s 6102 does not do that, and you’re right, it’s an annoyance. :)
