Re: N900 won't turn on with power plugged in

There is a bug, but it's been closed due to WORKSFORME:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6806

Considering there's a fair few of us, how do we get it reopened?

Ok, seeing that a few people suffer from it makes me feel slightly less crazy.

One thing I did notice was that also it seems the LED behaviour is different now as well. I'm pretty sure sometimes...

Re: N900 won't turn on with power plugged in

I have a funny feeling that it only happened once I updated the kernel, but I can't know for sure. I only asked as I've just got another N900 and it does exactly the same as my other one.

Glad to...

Re: Keep last one hour voice recording on N900?

Hmm, maybe a cron script with SoX would do as the OP wanted. At the hour concatenate all the audio files into one using SoX and then zip up for storage?

What normally happens is that the battery goes flat, you go to charge it and find that it keeps on turning itself off until you...

N900 won't turn on with power plugged in

Hi all,

I have this strange fault with not one but two different N900's now. They refuse to turn on when they are being charged. The only way I can get them to turn is to let them charge for an...

Re: Nokia N900 + Ethernet (via USB-RJ45 adapter)

Depends on the make/model of the USB Ethernet adapter. Some (like the Belkin Gigabit I have) have the necessary drivers already in the kernel, some don't. I'm not sure of a 'compatibility list'...

Re: N900 GPS problem

Yes, but you are missing my point entirely.

Why should I pay $400 for a phone (or whatever you want to call it) and then have to fart around to get the GPS to work? Why can't this $400 device...

Re: SMS-based stolen phone locator

You are far, far more likely to have a cell connection than a wifi connection if the phone is stolen, so it's best to use the GSM side rather than relying on the thief to connect to the internet.
