Any way to disconnect from cellular network?

There are times when it would be convenient not to be connected to the cellular network. Not just silent, but actually completely disconnected so the network can't see me. But with the N900 still...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

I think your proposed versioning makes sense. As long as we add any new columns after the existing columns so that if anybody's already using the schema and doing "select(*)" we won't break their...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

Hi Martin,

From looking through the database code and structure to produce the migration script, I think I've found a few points where the code and schema could be more efficient.

Re: Can somebody please post a script which will allow me to see the percentage RAM used? PLEASE? PLEASE?

But don't forget, the total amount of memory in use isn't the same as the total memory minus memory available for other processes. Some of it may be cache or buffers (as you'll see from the raw...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

OK, I've got a working Perl script to import map tiles into the database.

At the moment, it won't run on the N900 itself, as I'm having a few problems getting the SQLite module to build on my...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

Ah, good. Nice and big. I wondered if maybe the size was restricted for performance reasons


Quite happy with that in principle. In practice it may be tricky as the script has dependencies on the...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

Terrific application and amazingly full of features considering how new it is.

As an interim measure until you manage to include a feature to import tile files into the database, I'm writing a...

Re: Strange problem: random reboots when using Mappero whilst on my bike

Thanks for the suggestion - I hadn't come across modRana before. First impression is that it's got far more functionality than Marble and it seems to have pretty much everything I need.

Re: Strange problem: random reboots when using Mappero whilst on my bike

Battery's fine. I don't think vibrations are likely to be the problem, as if they were it would still happen when I'm not running Mappero. I've tried moving the N900 from the pocket in my shorts to...

Strange problem: random reboots when using Mappero whilst on my bike

This is a strange one - I wonder if anybody else has seen anything like it or (better still) can see a solution.

If I carry my N900 with me when I go on a long (50-60 mile) cycle ride, and I have...

Re: wifi conectivity problem

If the access point isn't providing an IP address, it suggests to me that it's not running DHCP, in which case you'll need to either configure a suitable IP address into the connection on your N900...

Automatic removal of wireless connections: possible?

Because my N900 automatically adds any wireless network it connects to into its list of connections and tries to reconnect whenever it sees them, I need to find a way to remove connections,...

Re: Permanently reassigning MyDocs to SD card

OK, here's a way to achieve this. Admittedly a bit of a cludge, but it has the advantage of failing non-fatally.:)

One limitation is that it won't work if any processes open any files on either...

Re: Permanently reassigning MyDocs to SD card

A re-flash was indeed needed. Messy and not fun, but at least I'm (I think) back where I started.

I think I'll wimp out on trying this again and see if I can find another way of achieving what I...

Re: Permanently reassigning MyDocs to SD card

Oh sod! I think I killed it.

I don't know what went wrong there, but now my N900 just keeps showing the white "NOKIA" screen, going blank and then repeating itself.

Permanently reassigning MyDocs to SD card

Possible?

I seem to have a problem with the MyDocs filesystem, so I'd like to use an SD card instead.

I know I could play around with mountpoints with an upstart script, but it would be...

Re: Mappero voice navigation: submit your voice, in your own language!

As a native British English speaker, I'd say "continue straight ahead" would be more idiomatic.
