0.7.4 Released
Continuing the 0.7.X trend, this build mostly improves keyboard support again. However, we do have other improvements also. Here is the full change log:
- Improve image selection user experience
- More keyboard navigation improvements/fixes
- Enable location tagging on Symbian
- Render comments and post/page titles correctly
- Fix “memory full” errors in some cases
- Various bug fixes
NB! Due to the location tagging features, this build will not install on S60 3.1 devices (this includes e.g. the E71). This is because the Location capability is not supported in self-signed builds on 3.1. Devices with S60 3.2 and 5.0 will work fine. We will have a solution for this in the future, but for now all S60 3.1 users will just have to wait, sorry…

Thank you! This comes just in time for my trip to Portugal

Im not sure if it is the same program what can be installed on Nokia N900 from extras-devel, but for me it keeps saying (when fetching pages, comments, posts):
Failed to parse XMLRPC response: Unexpected token: StartElement:br
[OK]
And I only have an OK button.
Do you have an idea, how could I debug it?
futubanister 11:37 am on August 10, 2010 Permalink |
Hi Laszlo!
Unfortunately this looks like a configuration issue at your server. When PHP crashes it outputs some error message that has linebreaks in it (that’s where the br -element comes from).
Wild guess: Try accessing http://yourblogaddress/xmlrpc.php?rsd and see if you get any sensible results?

Hi, would like to know if it’ll work on a phone with Symbian OS v9.3, Series 60 rel. 3.2?
futusaber 7:49 am on August 11, 2010 Permalink |
Yes, the “regular” builds (links in the original post) should work on S60 rel. 3.2 phones

i just checked the about screen of the n95 8gb that i’m using (which i purchased back in mid 2009) and it says s60 3rd edition features pack 1. As far as i know, there’s no newer update out for this phone. So when you say 3.1, that’s referring to the version i have?
futubanister 5:37 am on August 11, 2010 Permalink |
Hi,
please take a look at Saber’s post on 5th August: http://dev.nokia.wordpress.org/2010/08/02/0-7-4-released/#comment-1651
There’s now a version for that – let me know if it installs!
Shahryar 10:26 pm on August 12, 2010 Permalink |
Yep, I grabbed that version and started using it. It seems a little funny on my N95 8gb – maybe I just have to learn more? Seems it’s meant for a touch screen – like I can’t move around within a body of test

The upgrade file asked for the updated Qt library
. But was able to reinstall using smart installer on my 5800. It’s working

The font is super tiny on the N900. Can barely read the comments at my old age
Also, HTML characters need to be escaped, there’s a lot of and similar junk printed all over the place in the app.
srizvi1 2:34 pm on August 13, 2010 Permalink |
yeah, I too struggled with the font in the 0.7.4 version of wordpress
futubanister 5:53 pm on August 13, 2010 Permalink |
Oops,
let’s take a look on it asap. There shouldn’t be too much changes between 0.7.3 and 0.7.4 so most probably we’ve messed up something. Sorry for the inconvenience…

(Using w/ N95 8gb)
This is my first version so I’m not sure if the font was really small in 0.7.3. So far two big problems besides the font that’s been mentioned.
1) I can’t cycle through the different t9 spelling options to the point where I can spell and put in a word. I have to then just cycle trough each letter at a time o make the word.
2) I can’t move around within a body of text I’m writing. Up, down, left, and right move me in and out of the different fields within the page. But to move around within the text, I have o backspace pretty mch or jus leave what I said.
futusaber 8:57 am on August 16, 2010 Permalink |
Both of your issues are in Qt – we are using the standard text editing components, but they don’t seem to support T9 too well…
Regarding 2), the text should be navigable with the left and right arrows. This works well on both our N95 and N95 8GB. We do, however, have other problems on those devices, so I’m not surprised to find out that you are having issues.
Unfortunately you will just have to wait for a more stable Qt release to fix these issues…
Shahryar 3:39 pm on August 16, 2010 Permalink |
Let me double check moving within a text field with left and right. Any way to make it work like the nokia browser works? I can move up and down and left and right within a text field. I Get out by going all the way to the top or to the bottom – or maybe even hitting the center button?
futusaber 8:51 am on August 16, 2010 Permalink |
The font is quite small, yes. We’ll make it bigger for future releases.
I found unescaped characters only in editors and the single post view, which is already fixed in our development version. Did you encounter them elsewhere also? I’m not quite sure if escaping them is the right thing to do in editors, but we’ll think about it…
Dan 1:21 pm on August 16, 2010 Permalink |
Also in the Post Title in the Comments tab there were escaped characters.
futusaber 10:30 am on August 18, 2010 Permalink |
Could you elaborate on this, which characters were they? We already rendering this as html and e.g. & amp ; (spaces inserted to make sure it displays) is rendering as an ampersand. I couldn’t produce any problems while testing this just now…

HI how does it have to install on a N900 im not a nerd but have a few problems installing some maps on my phone from Sygic it does not work SetupAndroid.apk and not with this here to unzip it the phone pls help if u can maybe a kind of user manual…………….

Hi! I’m very enthusiast of work you’ve done still now, and I was asking me why there wasn’t an official app for symbians/maemo smartphones. So thanks for your efforts.
In my early testing I’ve found only one little pain in the neck: the resize of images; I’ve noticed I can’t choose the exact size, that’s true? For sure only to be patient
Bye ya!
futubanister 5:58 am on August 20, 2010 Permalink |
Thanks PioneerSkies!
Yeah, you cannot choose the resizing size at the moment – it’s just on/off switch. That being said we take your feedback seriously and will try to find an optimum solution for setting the image size without too many options-screens (we hate those).
You can expect a new version around Tuesday / Wednesday next week – after that we’ll collect the feedback and try to plan the next features and urgent fixes.
PioneerSkies 9:28 am on August 20, 2010 Permalink |
I think that, if we don’t want many options-screens, an idea could be to use the images sizing setting of the blog; so that, for example, I’ll configure my blog with a medium images size of 480×320 and the app will read that size.
Only brainstorming, just because is better a bad idea that a non-said idea.
So I’ll wait for the next week to do further tests; I’ve a redaction of people who write on a wordpress site and I hope to introduce to those of them using nokia smartphone this app as soon as it will be ready.
Bye

Excuse me for the loss of threaded replies, but firefox’s no-script was blocking too much of the site’s js… >_>
David T 2:50 pm on August 20, 2010 Permalink |
Should either of the smart installers work on the N96? No matter which I try, I eventually get “Reverting changes”, followed by “Device not supported”.
I am currently downloading 0.7.3′s smart installer, and will then grab the upgrade package, if that installs….
Aaargh! Just found thhis! I guess that means I’m stuck up the proverbial creek for the forseeable future
Abdul 11:04 am on August 21, 2010 Permalink |
Hi,

futusaber 7:00 am on August 23, 2010 Permalink |
Hi, please use this build, which is suitable for S60 3.1 devices, and includes the smart installer for Qt.

I just installed this new version of the WP app for Nokia mobile phones, I never used it before and I find it really useful although I’m having a problem with it. The problem is that I’m not able to publish any of my new posts to my blog and I don’t know why, I’ve tried looking for those posts in the WP dashboard in my computer and they’re not there either. I have a Nokia 5530 and Symbian S60 5th Edition. What can I do about it, any suggestions?
futubanister 5:54 am on August 25, 2010 Permalink |
Interesting – does it just timeout or are there any error messages? Have you set the post status to “published” when saving it?
We’ll be releasing new version later today, let’s see if the issue can be reproduced with that one.
xinita 1:02 am on August 26, 2010 Permalink |
Thanks for replying! It doesn’t time out nor show any error messages, the only thing that happens is that the post box gets darker displaying one of those loading icons and stays like that until I close the application. The first time it happened it thought it was because I saved it as a draft so I created a new post and set it as published, then saved it and the same thing happened.
I’ll wait until the next version is released and try it, I’ll let you know if it happens again
