N900 LCD panel?

Hey all,

Taking a bit of a longshot here...I was in the garage yesterday, walking back into the house, and my N900 fell on the concrete garage floor. It hit flat, the back panel and the battery...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Here we are, mid-october 2023, and I still use my N900. In fact, I picked up another one on ebay when my original kinda fell apart (the USB apparently broke because it wouldn't charge) after 12...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Batteries are easily had and inexpensive on ebay. Not sure if they are "genuine".



I just heard about Maemo Leste in this thread. I will be looking into it.

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

I still use an N900, not as a phone, but as my "brain prosthesis" as a former coworker referred to it. I use it for all of my personal media that I prefer not to stick on my (work) iphone. My music...

Re: New-ish N900

I just wanted to update everyone on my situation. The unit mentioned in this post appears to have had a bad motherboard, and that was what was causing the digitizer accuracy to be off. The problem...

Thanks! I will look into this. Personal preference, since I have not had the best of luck with systemd (that is an understatement), I would prefer to find a FreeBSD distro to run on it. I have...

New-ish N900

Wow! It is good to see life in this forum after all these years!

Re: Panucci just stops playing

Awesome. I did an apt-get install --reinstall panucci, and so far so good...Maybe the binary got b0rked somewhere along the line. We shall see. :)

Panucci just stops playing

I know this is probably a longshot, but I figured I'd try. I use Panucci to play podcasts on my N900. Lately, say the last month, though it started slowly enough that it may have been longer, Panucci...

Re: FMTX set frequency fails after latest CSSU update

Okay, so just as a clarification, once the new thunb update comes out, should we remove fmtx-faker or does it matter?

Thanks,

Did not work for me. I'm going to take a look at that thread posted above and see if there is anything there that may have gotten untweaked.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900

For the record, I did have to manually reboot, and it did come back. I left it sit for about 45 minutes, and it stayed at a blank screen.

Is something wrong with my N900? Did I install some piece...

That's good to know. I enabled extras-devel last night, and updated to KP52, but I immediately went back to -cssu3.

Re: Best performance/usability enhancements for Freemantle/N900

Crap! Install order counts. I was going to post and ask before I did it, but I figured CSSU (firmware) then kernel upgrades, then everything else... I guessed wrong.

Knowing that, I'm hoping that...

Re: Best performance/usability enhancements for Freemantle/N900

I will try this and report back.



It's possible ("speed kills, Peaches"), but isn't it usually heat that kills it? And the processor doesn't seem to have the issue, it's the filesystem. I was...
