Re: apt-worker / Application Manager eating CPU on PR 1.2

This is exactly what happens with me, and always has. I agree that it is covered by the previously cited bug report.

It's still bloody annoying, though.

Re: Why N900 can't Bluetooth DUN?

It's a question, not a claim. It's just someone looking for help. But instead it elicits an increasingly common elitist fanboy response.

@Fecn - A pleasant, concise and helpful response to someone who may be new to the N900 or the web for that matter.

Re: What field do you work in?

I work in lower field - the one with the drainage problem.

I once stunned a Doberman from 50 yards with a direct hit between the eyes from my N900. So yeah, on a 1-5 scale, I'm at awesome.

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

Yes, everything will be restored. Your apps will be automatically re-installed if necessary.

No, this does not work with 64-bit windows 7. See previous entries in this thread.

As far as Vodafone is concerned - who knows?

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

Deployment wasn't a problem - it was the timing. Making the UK wait for 1 month over everyone else - with no explanation - just isn't on.

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

Yeah, ironic isn't it. I post this and then 12 hours later they release the update anyway.

Next time I'll wait under the duvet too.

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

Out of luck, I'm afraid - it won't work with 64-bit Windows. See http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher#Tips_.26_troubleshooting.

Hopefully England will have more luck tonight ...

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

I agree with you. However the update does give some advantages:-

Improved battery life under WiFi
Browser improvements
Upgraded OpenGL ES support - more working games!

I personally needed it...

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

There is no UK-specific PR1.1.1 released by Nokia. I certainly never got it OTA, despite getting all other updates. Perhaps it's to do with operator? I'm using Vodafone.

The UK has OTA update - but this particular firmware release has not been enabled for the UK.

Re: N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

It's perfectly safe as far as I can tell - I've done it myself, I would consider myself a 'power' user, and I've found no problems at all.

N900 PR1.1.1 Firmware Update - UK Instructions

I think the N900 is a truly great device. However, using it to its full potential feels like a battle half the time. I am a believer in FOSS, but unfortunately this has led to a world-beating device...

Re: screen locker wit clock

I use the new BlkWhite theme, which annoyingly no longer shows the clock on the 'swipe' screen...

Perhaps the colour for the clock text is the same as the background?
