Sony | Sep 12, 2009 | Comments 0
Are you a facebook freak? Wants to stay connected with your friends on facebook through your mobile? If so, Nokia has released an application for you and the application is OVI Lifecasting. This application supports only Nokia N97. With this Ovi Lifecating you can keep your Facebook friends up to date whre you are and what you are doing. You can also do the things right from the home screen of your Nokia N97, you can lifecast the street address you are at, and your friends can see your location on a map. You can also share a meaningful location from the nearby places of interest or your favourite place that you have saved on Ovi MapsBeta. To show your friends what a great spot you are exploring, you can take a photo, and attach it to your Facebook post.
Installing on mobile:-
1. Install the latest Ovi MapsBeta on your Nokia N97.
2. Open Ovi MapsBeta.
3. Check that you have the map data for the country you are going to lifecast from. You can download the map data with Map Loader or over-the-air (data charges may apply).
4. Download the Ovi lifecasting widget, and add it to the home screen of your Nokia N97. Download (SIS, 1.68Mb). Sign in with your Nokia account and connect with your Facebook Profile. [Early bird access to Ovi lifecasting is now closed.]
5. During the setup of the Ovi lifecasting widget, please ensure you select “automatically log in” – otherwise you will not be able to publish (Known issue)
6. Go to the start screen, select Options > Edit Content > Options > Add Content > Ovi Livecaster widget, then select Done.
7. Start lifecasting. Enter your Facebook status, attach a photo to your post, or select how you want to share your whereabouts. Your Nokia N97 detects your current location through GPS/A-GPS or network positioning.
8. Open your Facebook profile to check what you are lifecasting. To display the latest location you have lifecasted from, select the corresponding link in the status update view. You can also check if your friends have commented on your posts, and keep the conversation going.
After you have lifecasted for the first time, your Nokia N97 detects your location every 10 minutes. To refresh your location when desired, in the Ovi lifecasting widget, select the respective icon.
To stop the automatic location detection, you have to remove the Ovi lifecasting widget. If you remove the widget, you are no longer able to lifecast.
