The first version of Series 60 was launched with the Nokia 7650, and was later used on the 3650, N-Gage, Siemens SX1 and Sendo X. Only 176 208 and 176 220 resolutions were supported. It is based on Symbian OS 6.1.[1]
The second edition first came with the Nokia 6600 in 2003. The Symbian OS base was upgraded to 7.0 with Feature Pack 1, then 8.0 with Feature Pack 2 and finally, 8.1a with Feature Pack 3. It also added support for themes, which were installed using SIS packages like other apps, not NTH files like on Series 40.
There's not much change in FP1 but it merged the camera and video recorder apps into single app and added features like video editor, music player (though it only capable of playing tracks as mono) and faster CPUs.
Feature Pack 2, also known as S60 version 2.6, the Symbian OS version upgraded to 8.0 and it is the first version to run on the BB5 platform. It is first used on the Nokia 6630 and it introduced new features like UMTS connectivity (3G), JSR-184 (3D Java apps), stereo music player, revamped gallery (now it can able to sort files in different categories instead of act as a file manager), image gallery app (which is a precursor to Nseries gallery), printing support, Active Standby mode (introduced with Nokia 6680) and new keypad and warning sound effects that more reminiscent to Series 40 phones instead of Series 30.
Feature Pack 3, sometimes referred to as S60 version 2.8, upgraded the Symbian OS version to 8.1a, added support for 352 416 displays, used on the N90. FP3 also ran on the N70 and N72, but with a standard 176 208 screen. It uses Symbian 8.1a. It is known for its extensive usage of SVG (Scaleable Vector Graphics) format, to make the user interface and themes cross-compatible with other screen resolutions. It also introduced a new gallery and even more improved music player, making it as seperate app from RealPlayer.
The 3rd Edition is an evolution of 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3, but it runs on 9.1 instead of 8.1a. It introduced new features like Flash Lite 1.1, much more improved music player with equalizer, loudness and stereo widening effect and it introduced a revamped grid main menu, now it's in 4x3 grid instead of 3x3, giving it the ability of showing more apps (though this was unavailable in N91 and 5500 Sport due to limited resolution). It also introduced improved security, meaning the apps must be signed, though this restriction can be removed by hacking the phone by using an antivirus exploit and ROMPatcher. Regardless, it is not possible to run older S60v1 and v2 apps on v3 due to kernel differences.
Feature Pack 1 runs on top of Symbian 9.2 and was introduced with the announcement of the Nokia N95, though the first phone to be released with it was the 6290. This version brought improvements to performance, removed the 1-minute limit from the voice recorder, ability of creating folders inside the folder in main menu and added support for recurring alarms and multiple alarms in the alarm clock. Feature Pack 1 devices support Flash Lite 2.0. It also introduced two new main menu styles, V-shape and Horseshoe, though they are not available in every S60v3 FP1 phone.
Feature Pack 2 upgrades the Symbian OS to 9.3. It brought a new multitasking menu and significant battery life improvements. Probably the easiest way to identify FP2 is by the three softkey labels, as opposed to two on previous versions. It also introduced menu animations, although it was also backported to some phones running Feature Pack 1, such as Nokia E66.
S60v5, also known as Symbian^1, was the last version of S60 before it was succeeded by Symbian^2 and Symbian^3. It is based on Symbian 9.4 and designed for 360 640 touchscreen devices. As S60v5 was only intended for touchscreen devices, newer keypad Symbian phones still ran S60v3. In keeping with Nokia's observance of tetraphobia at the time, the company skipped the 4th Edition "as a polite gesture to Asian customers".
Nokia phones running 5th Edition were known for having issues, with Sony Ericsson devices (which adopted S60v5 following the abandonment of the competing UIQ platform) and the Samsung Omnia HD having better reputations.
This guide shows you how to create and manage alarms on your Moto devices. Customizing alarm tones will also be covered. For simplicity, Moto E is used in this guide. But this guide works exactly in the identical way as in Moto G, Moto G 2014 (2nd Gen.), Moto X and Moto X 2014 (2nd Gen).
If ES File Explorer is installed, by default, when you set the alarm tone, you will be asked to choose ES File explorer or use Media Storage. Media storage is for pre-installed alarm tones and all ausdio files in the Alarms folder. ES File Explorer is for audio files that are visible to ES File explorer. So, you should use Just Once, not Always.
If you use ES File explorer to specify an audio file as the alarm tone, you need navigate to the folder, tap the audio file. The alarm tone will be changed immediately. There is no confirmation button.
Reset ineffective. Use of ES File Explorer to install custom alarm tones has failed, as there is no prompt when changing alarm tones on the device. USB connection to a computer has met with failure as there is no folder marked Alarms in Internal Storage of the device. This is a Moto G fresh out of the box. Please advise.
Alarms should always be a folder in internal storage in all gens of Moto G. This is standard Android layout. Did you use ES file explorer to check it on the phone. In some Windows machines, you may set to hide empty folders.
The pre-installed alarm tones are saved in a different folder (/system/media/audio/alarms). This folder is read-only. Your own alarm tones are supposed to be in /storage/emulated/0/Alarms. This is default Android layout.
Maybe I am wrong. But I do not know any specific Android phones (or iPhone) that alarm you when you power them off. Alarms in the Clock app work only when the Android system is running. This is one of the fundamental difference between the Android (and iOS) phones and feature phones. Alarms in feature phones do not need a powered-on phone. As long as the battery is not drained out, it should work.
Hi Simon, My motog was updated to the lollipop version after which I am facing a problem with the alarm. When my alarm rings in the morning I do not get the face wherein you swipe the alarm to stop it. I have to actually go into the alarm app and deactivate my alarm option to stop the ringing. Would you have any idea how to correct this problem?
It is not a list of alarms but 3 seperate alarms at seperate times. The first one goes off and can be seen easily and is switched off. The second one goes off but is not on the front screen, you have to unlock the phone and drag down the icons from the top to switch it off.
I selected complete action using file manager nd selected always option.nw every time it just goes to file manager and i am not able to get the default alarm tones.is there a way to be able to select again?
But if your phone is on Lollipop. It is complicated. If you choose None mode, alarm will be turned off as well. So you need change to priority mode and adjust notifications accordingly. Please follow this guide.
Alarm will not work if the phone is powered off. This is common for almost all smartphones because alarm is actually an app (clock app) on smartphones. When phone is powered off, how can you run apps? This is different from feature phones.
My alarm function has ceased to work on Moto E. Worked fine for a few weeks then stopped working. I have deleted it, created a new one with same settings, made sure the volume is up on the sound and checked the ringtone. But it does not help. How can I get the alarm function going again?
my moto x screen is cracked and the touch is not working but i manged to set an alarm using touchless control and i had set the alram to never go off until i manually close it and my laptop doesnt detect my phone because the alarm goes off . help in any way possible . thanks man
Open clock app, switch to alarm tab (1st one on the top), tap menu icon (3 vertical dots on top right), tap settings, now you can customize silence after and snooze length. These settings are for all active alarms.
If you put it in Alarms folder and remove the .nomedia file, music app then can see the music. But I would not recommend it. You just keep two copies of a mp3 file. It should not take so much storage.
Is there a way to change the snooze time for different alarms on the Moto G5? On my LG phone I could select a 5 minute snooze time for one alarm (eg wake up), and 30 min snooze time for another (eg a daytime reminder). On my Moto G5 it seems the snooze times I set apply to all alarms, is that so?
I have just purchased the E4 Plus. When the alarm sounds the screen stays black, in order to stop the alarm I have to open the phone , open the clock app and switch it off. How can I get the dismiss /snooze options to appear when the alarm sounds ?
When adjusting volume using swipe it is not silent. For example when adjusting phone volume the selected phone sound plays. Can volume adjustment be silent and not give sample of sound volume at the selected volume scale?
You can avoid it by using the volume button (volume up or volume down. On the Home screen, press volume down (or up) button. By default, it shows the ringer volume if you are not playing media. Tap the down arrow right to the slider. you can adjust the volume for media and alarms using the respective slider. It will be slient.
This option is available on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or later. It was illustrated here. If you are using the 1st gen of Moto E or Moto G (these are the only two Moto E/G phones stopped at Android lollipop 5.1), you may not see the option.
After many research hours, and even calling Motorola, my issue of stopping the sample volume sound when adjusting the phone or alarm volume was not resolved by these resources. But I have figured out a work around to adjust the volume without the sample sound on my Moto G7 Maxx phone. Go to Settings>Sound, select the volume you want to change and without lifting your finger drag to the volume level you want, do not lift your finger, press the Go to Home button. Your selected volume level will be changed without the sample sound disturbing anyone in the vicinity. Hope this is helpful.
