Re: Google's Winter Cleaning

How would google know you had reflashed?
Isn't setup just a matter of putting the parameters into your phone? There is no handshaking with google for setup. Does your phone even have a unique...

Re: Cracked N9 Screen - Spare Parts?

Look at the pics of the screen assemblies for sale.
Most are missing the metal/plastic frame that is glued to the back of the screen, and attaches it to the body.
If so, you need to remove the...

Re: Google's Winter Cleaning

It might if you are using "mail for exchange" for email.
But IMAP with push (imap idle) works fine on the N9.
Worst case, you may need to change method.

Has anyone heard reliably of any fake/substandard N9 screen assemblies on the market?

(Not counting ones for fake 'N9' phones, that are totally different.)
The supply of those amoled panels must...

Whats wrong with them? Look very professional for a chinese retail site.
I can't find many comments about them, but nothing bad.

At least with N9, nobody would bother to make fake screens :)

Re: N9 @ Best Buy (USA)

In Australia, a big chain (dick smith) just unloaded their remaining N9 stock at $99.
There was a very undignified scramble, and I think the staff got most of them. A pity, since the staff will...

Re: Cracked N9 Screen - Spare Parts?

See droosie's posts above. He used hot air and a scalple-type knife to remove the frame from the old screen.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

USB host mode was nice on the N800 for attaching a hard drive and keyboard. The N900 does not need that so much, with 32GB flash, but it could really use a proper SD-card reader.


Yes, but I'd...

Re: GPS on N900 without connecting to Internet?

Re: do you wish maemo.org was more N900 friendly?

How is this specific to N900? Do other NITs not exist? And why post it in the maemo-5 forum? It is about the website not the n900 or maemo, right?

Sorry for coming late here, but a few comments:

- the N8x0 (like any modern gadgets) have their own built-in regulator, so it would be ideal to avoid needing a second external regulator.

Re: Ubuntu Mounting Mass Storage

Re: Ubuntu Mounting Mass Storage

Something is wrong there. How big a device does fdisk see?
Try putting a micro-SD card in, and see if Ubuntu can read that in UMS mode.
