I knew there was already an application called Timebar, but this app was unsigned. I hate dealing with unsigned apps so I’ve been on the lookout for one that you can install without any problems. This is where FreeTimeBox comes in to rescue us. I’ve had it installed on my N82 for a few weeks and have come to rely on it. Great thing is this application is already signed!

For some reason I cannot take screenshots for examples, the time doesn’t show up on the image after I take it. Below is how it looks on my Nokia E71…

If you’re wondering why I’m not showing you how it looks on the N82 it’s because I took the picture with my N82. If I try to take a picture of the N82 with my E71 it looks like utter crap. E71 camera sucks. Right now the N82 is the only good camera I have.

Say you don’t want the time to show up on a certain application. For instance it automatically shows on the homescreen. Obviously I don’t need that. Go into the settings and you can “blacklist” certain applications. To find this setting go to Settings > Time Display > Black/White List Apps.

You can also configure the position of the clock (if you want it on the top that works too!), which pre-installed font is used, the font size, color, bold, italic, opacity, background color, seconds, time format, and a whole lot of sync settings. I’m unsure exactly what the sync settings do. Maybe sync the timezone of your N82 with the current location? I don’t use this feature.

I was reading on some news when I came across this, its one of those things which makes me feel like I should never get a Windows Mobile phones.

Anyways back to my article, I don’t know how many of you (like me) works in an environment where the wireless signals you get is using a heavily encrypted signal, I am talking about something like WPA- or WPA2- Enterprise. My current work place offers internet but with WPA-Enterprise with PEAP and Symbian doesn’t offer automatic recognition of the encryption code. I have to get around to settings to get things working, I noticed that Symbian hides this sort of things really well. Here is a small tutorial that will get your Symbian phone onto this sort of wireless signal for those of you who are having difficulties…

1. Start from Home.
2. Tools –> Setting –> Connection –> Access Point
3. Create/Edit an existing access point specified for your location.
4. Go thru all the settings until you reach “WLAN security settings”
5. Under WPA/WPA2, change the encryption to EAP
6. EPA plug-in settings, enable and raise priority of EAP-PEAP and disable the default two EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA.
User name in use: User defined

It should be good but I have been told its a little hit or miss.

Cheers
David
