    I am programming for s60 3rd edition and I want my program to auto start at boot and go into the background. I have looked around but haven't found anything related to sending my application to the background. Any help would be appreciated.

    I am very new to the symbian platform and was trying to do this in carbide - there I came across the "symbian signed" problem while auto starting. So my second question is that even if i am developing and testing, is there no way around the certificate problem and more importantly, is it even a problem in Qt.

    And a little off topic - will carbide code work in Qt? Like I said I am very new to all this. Please forgive any weird questions and help . . .

      You will require to have it signed and will need to have a developer certificate to test it. To auto start the Qt application you will have to write a launcher exe in Symbian and use it. This "link":http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Autostart_applications_on_bootup_in_Qt_for_Symbian will help you.
