Nokia Asha SDK 1.0 (Beta) Release Notes

Compatibility issues
The SDK may not work well with some sound card/driver combinations. In such cases, sound may be inaudible and MIDlets that use MMAPI may fail. A workaround is to try replacing the driver for the sound card.

Known problems and limitations

Nokia Asha SDK 1.0 (Beta)
Emulator doesn't boot with Java 7 update 21 due to RMI port conflicts. Refer to the release notes on Oracle website. Emulator doesn't launch on Windows 7 64-bit with JRE 7 64-bit. When debugging on the device, the MIDlet throws an exception if a debugging session is initiated within 60 seconds from the last debugging session. When the MIDP security domain is changed, any installed MIDlets have to be reinstalled for the new settings to take effect. Sometimes when the MIDP security domain is changed, MIDlet that was installed earlier will throw a message "Something went wrong running this app". To resolve this issue, reinstall the same MIDlet. Debugging may not work when Browser is used in the Emulator. To resolve this issue, press CTRL+K to kill the running Browser or restart the Emulator to continue debugging. In Nokia IDE or Eclipse IDE, you cannot terminate a debug session in the Emulator. To resolve this issue, restart the Emulator and start the debugging process. Emulator might crash or freeze at times. Refer to the user guide for details and workarounds. In Landscape mode, the Menu screen does not change orientation and shows up in Portrait mode. There are some limitations in media playback. Refer to the user guide for details. Voice recording related actions are not supported in this version of the SDK.

Refer to the SDK user guide for the complete list of known issues and limitations along with the workarounds, if any.

Known problems and limitations

Nokia IDE for Java ME (Eclipse) v2
Clicking on the Supports x devices models link in the Nokia SDKs section of the Device SDK Selector displays a web page where the device count may differ from that of the Device SDK Selector. Importing Eclipse projects using Java ME > EclipseME Project is not supported. Instead use General > Existing projects into Workspace, for importing Eclipse projects. Refer to the IDE user guide for the complete list of known issues and limitations along with the workarounds, if any.

Disclaimer
While the SDK contains the same software functionality as the Nokia Asha software platform 1.0 device, it is not identical due to simulations and differences in the hardware. It is recommended that final testing is undertaken on a device. The PC rendering of colours seen on the Emulator may not match colours seen on the devices. However, the SDK is ideal for verifying pixel location and the general appearance of the handset UI. Sound simulation in the SDK doesn't accurately reproduce the device's sound. This SDK is not recommended as the primary tool for development of sound content. However, it is ideal for verifying sound content as part of application testing.
