Those of you using the new Nokia Messaging app may have noticed a problem when switching out of the email client into selecting a Wi-Fi access point. Well, the good news is that Nokia is aware of the issue and that a patch is on its way.
In the meantime, the Nokia Messaging team has detailed a way in which you can work around the problem. Hit the jump for all the details...
Here's the workaround in full:
Access point selection is coming back in an upcoming patch. We made a big mistake on this (it wasn’t an arbitrary decision, we’re exploring better ways to switch between APNs as well). Apologies for any problems this may have caused. Here’s one workaround for the time being:
- during client setup (in the E-Mail setup program which runs after receiving the text message), set the connection as default. this will mean that the email client will take the system default connection.
- to swap to 3G data or other wifi connection: open the browser (or other application that needs to go OTA). if you have set data connection to “always ask”, the S60 will ask you what connection you would like to use…select (for example) 3G.
- close browser and connection.
- email client will now automatically connect to the last data connection.
