These kind of things can happen when there is something wrong with the setup or a non-Symbian header is included in your code. Clean up your environment (abld reallyclean or equivalent) and then...

Is your GCCE added too PATH? Don't set EPOCROOT as it just messes things up.

It is just the stupid installer that checks for some registry value. You can probably manually tweak your registry for a moment that installer passes that test and then revert to original values.

Try to exact more information about the panic and if possible debug it using TRK on device.

How are the capabilities assigned? May be loading of the DLL fails because of the mismatch in...

Have you tried renaming the header? Could you tell us the results?

Set returns an error, constructor panics by definition (makes sense: Set can rollback to existing values, constructor would create broken value)

How do you get the string/descriptor? Can you copy-paste a line of code...

I agree this is at least baffling, if not inconsistent behaviour.

Hmm. This does seem to behave bit strange, but it seems to be by design:

From the documentation of TTime::Set:
1. The month and day values are offset from zero.

so 20060531 is interpreted as...

Just place the dso files to \epoc32\release\armv5\lib. Leave the LIBRARY statement as it is.

You need to copy the dll to phone along with your app. There needs to be something like this on your...

Which version of SDK and which phone are you using?

This is the same issue as with S60 2.x SDKs. Camera API provided in SDK is Series 60 implementation, Camera APIs provided in devices are Nokia HW implementation. These two are not binary compatible....

Search for application called Panix from the forums (here and newlc).

I must say I have no more hard evidence to offer. Anyway, Symbian, Nokia and other licensees use ARM RVCT internally. This makes it in my opinion safer choice for large scale development.

Yes. ARMV5 and GCCE are binary compatible.

In brief, ARM is way more expensive (0$ vs. several thousands per license). ARM creates significantly smaller binaries (up to 40-50% in my own tests). There seem to be more bugs in GCCE toolchain...

For SDK command line builds gcce options are defined in Gcce.mk at <SDK>\epoc32\tools\compilation_config . I am not 100% sure whether Carbide uses those values, but there is always the option of...

No, you haven't missed anything. There are some values that needs to be built into the emulator binary. So adding completely new resolutions is available only to Symbian and its licensees.

Answers are unfortunately no and no. To support building and debugging with VC6 we would need WINS target for SDKs and that is something Symbian hasn't supported since 8.0a. S60 dropped support for...

Go to <SDK>\epoc32\release\winscw\udeb directory and double-click the exe. This should bring up the cmdline emulator. Also running it from the IDE should do the trick.

Use keys:
EMachineUid
EDeviceFamily
EDeviceFamilyRev

These will give you UID that can be mapped to certain device. To get a firmware version you can use SysUtil::GetSWVersion function. Btw, I...

I have found that following code works for my terminals:

I have a CActive-derived class CTelephonyWaiter containing following members:
CTelephony* iPhone;
CTelephony::TPhoneIdV1 iResult;
...

I asked this from a Nokia expert (disclaimer: I work for Nokia too) and there answer was briefly: no, there are no public APIs available for querying or changing the current theme.

That is because they have different screen sizes: 176x208 for N70 and 352x416 for N90. This was a new feature introduced in S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3. Since that release you will have to be...

Just derefence your HBufC* to treat it as TDesC&. Like this:

HBufC* hbuf = someDesc.AllocL();

--- e.g. in Draw Function

gc.DrawText(*hbuf, TPoint(0,0));

1) Check that your code supports themes. You AppUi ConstructL code should start like this:

BaseConstructL(EAknEnableSkin);

// Create view object
iAppView = CYourView::NewL(...
