Re: [ANNOUNCE] MediaBox Media Center 2010.06.26 is out for N900, N800, N810

It seems like the latest version fixes the bug where resuming a paused track would start the track over entirely, but there are still some issues with resuming. If you pause and then resume a track,...

Re: Using HDMI to charge the device

None of the Nokia Internet Tablets (770, N800, N810) or the N900 have an HDMI port. The N900 has a dual use 3.5mm audio jack that can put out analog NTSC or PAL video if you can get it to work right....

Re: Play audio by directory

I've always found the crawler/meta data approach to media playback to be a generally awful approach to media playback.

Mediabox probably does the best job of directory oriented content playback...

Re: Nokia n900 for $199 from NokiaUSA

The problem is that Nokia is not trustworthy in fulfilling those rebates. I did not receive my N900 rebate or a rebate on my N95 (despite properly filling everything in). After half a dozen phone...

Re: fcamera Thread (Bugs, Ideas..etc)

I always shoot Raw + JPEG on my Nikon DSLRs. The RAWs give me much greater latitude for post-processing tom-foolery, but it is handy to have the JPEGs for immediate posting to web galleries, social...

Thanks a bunch! MediaBox, imo, has replaced Canola as the best overall media player for Maemo, especially on the N900 where Canola is currently a major WIP. Some thoughts/suggestions:

Re: Roller coaster 3D on N900

I think it is interesting that we have seen some titles announced and then not released and some titles that have been released, be pulled. I wonder if software companies are looking at the low...

Re: Will this be your last Nokia product?

My guess is yes. I've owned all the Nokia Internet Tablets and my last three handsets have been high end Nokia phones. Nokia has done an increasingly piss poor job in recent years of standing behind...

Re: NokiaUSA : Buy one get one for FREE!

I would be very cautious making any purchasing decision based on a promotional offer of any type from Nokia. I have twice failed to receive rebates offered directly by Nokia on high end phones. In...

Re: remove your Screen Films on your N900!!!

Yah, you definitely need to be careful using screen protectors on the N900, particularly with any type that has adhesive properties. As others have noted, the top layers of the N900 can separate /...

Re: Ovi Store Update

The problem is that having a viable application store is widely seen as a "table stakes" feature for smart-phones. In other words, without it, don't even bother showing up to play.

Re: Where is the PayPal option in OVI store payments?

Re: The ovi store is back! now with 100% more angry birds level pack 1

It is really odd to me that the store has been re-opened and a few (very few) things have been added, but that pretty much all the games and whatnot that were explicitly mentioned for release on the...

Re: Ovi Store Update

Nokia has nominally "caught up" with where...

Re: Has anyone else's N900 become significantly hotter after the PR 1.2 update?

Re: Has anyone else's N900 become significantly hotter after the PR 1.2 update?

I really haven't noticed anything of the sort. Have you ran a process monitor to see if you have something stalled running in the background eating up lots of CPU?

Re: N900 five month sales less than 100,000, really?

Yeah, and what does that mean, Quim? Are you trying to claim 10.9 million separate downloads? Does each update to an app count as a separate download? Surely Nokia knows how many devices it has sold....

It does show a poor lack of coordination on Nokia's part. Look at how Apple has coordinated their product releases for instance. When Apple releases a new product at one of their big shindigs, you...

Re: what is emmc vanilla bin flashing for?

Flashing the emmc overides the contents of your MyDocs folder, which means you could potentially lose lots of user created stuff and settings, even if you do a backup and restore. In general, there...
