Re: am i only one getting a bit bored with n900

I got bored some time ago. I expected to be a bit of guinea pig, but after five months there are too many glitches and not enough software. The phone is too much of a niche techies product (and...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date

I've given up. I've ordered an HTC Desire and I'm selling my N900 on Mazuma. I'm losing around £100. I bought the device knowing that I was an "early adopter" and expecting some loose ends. But I...

Re: Windows embedded on ARM CPU = Windows emdedded on N900?

Windows Mobile (which is based on Windows Embedded/CE) has always worked on ARM cores; driver support is more uncertain (although I doubt there are many components in the N900 that can't be found in...

Re: Overclock the N900?

I've been using Titan's kernel overclocked using the "Ideal" settings with the frequency range set 250-115000. Seems to be working perfectly, battery is improved and performance is very snappy. No...

Re: Nokia N900 not finding memory card

I get this problem occasionally - but my magnet is definitely there still. I wondered about some sort of physical problem with the card or contacts (dirt maybe) but can find nothing wrong.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

Manually registered - and it now seems to be working (although I can't see a map yet, probably because I'm inside a building) - not overly impressed by the way it handles exceptions - a few useful...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I am coming to the conclusion that it has activated successfully and something else is causing the problems. I am talking to Sygic about it. Several times people have mentioned installing to the...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I've copied Drive, Maps and Res from the root of my SD card to the root of the internal memory. The app starts and I get as far as entering my product code (I've been sent two, tried both) - but...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

Nope. Definitely doing something wrong. When I open the assistant app in Windows it allows me to select a drive that corresponds to the SD card on the phone. I "install" the voices and maps that I...

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

Am I being a bit dim? I've uploaded maps and all sorts, but how do I actually install and run the program?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)

After it flashed I restored the backup, and after that it spent quite a while downloading all of the applications that I had previously installed. Everything seems to have restored without a problem.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)

So, I have taken matters into my own hands and flashed my phone. It all seems to have worked and didn't take too long. I backed-up first so that I could restore my settings and applications. I...

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)

As far as I can gather flashing to the "global" firmware doesn't cause any kind of problem when using it in the UK (am I right?). So, if I get the pain of flashing it over and done with now then in...
