This is quite an army of bugfinders. :D An image doesn't have to be out long before Bugzilla starts choking!

Nice work guys and girls. This is the spirit of Linux.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

The terminal is lacking the all-important Ctrl-p shortcut to go back through history. And that new Ctrl behavior (text input box pops up, keyboard disappears) is barely usable.

I need a fix for this! How do I add shortcuts?

EDIT: Answered my own question.

X Term menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Toolbar shortcut -> New

Title: Up
Value: <ctrl>p

(new again)

Title: Dn
Value: <ctrl>n

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Tried this and confirm this working!

I just have a feeling that this in NOT how it was intended to work... :rolleyes: Just a single tap with a finger should be enough.

Just for your record, that with this time I did NOT restore backup, so do not blame restoring backup being a reason for this behavior.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Er.. any reason why the UP key doesn't work for you?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

What UP key?

.... blink, blink ...

Ha, yes. I get so touch-screen centred, I forget about the hardware keys entirely.

Sigh. Thanks for the reminder.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Looks like the softpoweroff bug from the Beta is not only there, it's gotten worse. Now when the machine is in softpoweroff mode, tapping on the screen produces a click AND turns the n800 back on!

So for now, I'm stuck with the "Lock Screen and Keys" mode. Unfortunately, when I'm in Lock Screen and Keys mode, it seems breathing on the machine wrong wakes it up. Shouldn't there be a timer to say user hit the power key (or unplugged the headphones, or whatever other triggers there are), but didn't press the center button in 5 seconds, so turn back off?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

A lot of OSes, but the upgrade was made in Windows XP SP2, and my macs are still waiting for leopard 10.5.2 (I hope apple solves all the kirks of the 10.5 and 10.5.1 releases). I also heard (and experienced) some nasty bugs, like mail crashes, vents on all the time (in a macbook), etc.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Can anyone tell me how to disable the automatic wi-fi connectivity, or have the applets settings not disappear after each reboot?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Am I the only, who faces incorrect touchscreen tap place detection? Sometimes it misses totally O_o Like im pressing «B» on thumb keyboard and it indicates that «t» is pressed *_* . Calibrating do nothing. Very strange...

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

This is way they have to release the beta version to the public ;)

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Settings>Control Panel>Connectivity

This doesn't happen on mine...

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Happened to me as well with my 6680 with the beta version.
I can't recall what fixed it. Either accessing the phone through
the file manager or rebooting both devices.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Hey, I can't seem to get my bluetooth headset to work now. It used to work (well sort of, sound was pretty choppy) with the beta, but it doesn't anymore. I can pair it, and the N800 recognizes that it supports HFP and HSP, but it just continues to play all sounds through the speakers and not through the headset. Is it just my stupidity? I can't remember having to do anything special to get the sounds to the headset in the beta. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a motorola HT820.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

The Windows flasher I used yesterday did have onscreen instructions to remove the USB cable. But I don't think it pauses at that point, I believe the tablet is already starting to reboot as you are reading the instruction.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Hey mikemx --- I REALLY appreciate you responding. This issue is driving me nuts because I can connect, but no information is sent back to the tablet. I've tried reboot, deleting/ adding profiles, and taking the batteries out. Tethering worked just fine on OS2007.

Have you upgraded to the latest OS2008, and does the tethering work for you still? The firmware on my 6680 is v5.04.07 15-02-06 RM-36

THANKS!!!

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

I have the same FW on the 6680 (v5.04.07). I initially encountered the
problem with the OS2008 "beta version" on the N810 but don't recall what
specifically fixed it. I've updated to the newest OS2008 version and it still
works fine (just tested).

Can you access the 6680 content with the file manager?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

I tried that control site many times, but still fail to see the means to execute a disabling of automatic wi-fi connectivity. What am I missing?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Yeah, I can send files back and forth via the file manager, bluetooth direct, but I can't connect to the net. I have t-zones and am using a proxy server (216.155.165.050 and port 8080). Seems like the proxy server settings aren't carrying over. What are your settings like?

Thanks!

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Double-tapping doesn't always work tho...
And here : http://maemointeraction.wordpress.co...d/#comment-330
the maemo UI team says that this was not the way it should work.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

After reading your post, I've got my N800 (that has Locked screen and keys) and it won't react to anything that is not the power button.

What's "softpoweroff" ?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

On my tablet with a fresh and clean installation of OS2008 Final, the thumb keyboard does not pop out when I finger-tap a text box.
When I posted that comment the finger keyboard was popping out at every double-finger-tap (on Notes) and at many text boxes.
Now.. it does not work on almost any text boxes and sometimes on Notes. Actually if I triple-finger-tap fast the finger keyboard pops out for a fraction of a second and then disappears.

Moreover, when I use the finger keyboard in a chat with the built-in messenger, and I press the enter key, it behaves randomly: sometimes it sends the message straight to the peer, sometimes it leaves the text in the text box waiting for a tap on the green arrow (send).
In the Beta it used to also first send the text in the text box, then popped out the finger keyboad and when the enter key was pressed it was also sending the full text, like:

Hi how <finger keyboard on>
Hi how are you doing ?

Now it behaves almost similarly.
To make it short: finger keyboard is buggy.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

See bug #2400, apparently it's fixed, but who knows when we'll see it in a public release. Voting may or may not help.

I was getting this a little bit last night with just the thumbboard. I was tempted to blame it on fat-fingeredness since I was tired, but maybe not. Best bet is to open a bug.

Basically the next best thing to sliced bread and a good alternative to the 770's hardcover for the N800. It behaves basically the same as locking (also has some automated options for activating/deactivating offline mode), but is much easier to activate and deactivate. You can assign it to a longpress on the powerkey (the length of which can also be shortened), or to a double-press on the powerkey.

Much more convenient than that locking garbage. It's too bad they've broken it and wont fix it in a timely manner because it's not a supported feature. :(

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

anyone having an issue with the headphone jack not working? When my headphone is plugged in, all sounds (system, audio, video) still plays through the external speakers... Otherwise, OS2008 is awesome! Skype and Mplayer works already. Browser lags a bit compared to Opera, but it's not bad.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Nevermind, taking the battery out and rebooting solved the issue.
Thanks,

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Set "Connect automatically" to "Always ask" or "Phone connection"

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Hi there,

got some problem too with the new OS version on my n810: everything went smoothly until it came to restore the applications. The Tablet makes several downloads just fine, then gets stuck in one (544kb) and can't go any further.

Anyone had the problem and solved it? Or maybe I shoud just re-install everything manually....

Thanks,
Antonio

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Dblank: Thanks. That makes sense, though it had initially been a bit confusing for me -- who asks whom? Is it the N800 that's always asking me, or am I the one who must always ask? I trust the latter is the right answer. Thanks again.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

As has been stated before several times in this and other threads on the subject, the Nokia repositories are absolutely slammed, so it's unlikely that you'll be able to refresh them, let alond download application from them.

Give it a day or two and try again when things have calmed down.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

The N800 will ask you, whenever an application requests a connection.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Well, I threw in the towel and just restored my settings from a previous backup --- which then caused the connection to work. The only difference I found was that the proxy is now 216.155.165.50 instead of 216.155.165.050 --- the funny thing is that the latter address is what the autoconfigure process used. So, who knows... I may eventually reflash to start from scratch and see if this was what caused the issue, but for now, I know it works.

H.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

How well mannered and considerate of it! Again, many thanks.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

And it crashes if you just look at it sideways.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Question about the repositories, I just flashed the OS for the latest and greatest and worked fine, however I can not retore the applications. the log in application manager has alot of errors saying can't stat source packages you may want to run apt-get update to correct the problem. Is this a problem with the repositories being busy or do I have a problem? I try to install appplications manually and it just hangs on the progress bar??

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

As has been stated in this and other threads dozens of time already: the Nokia repositories are slammed, give it a few days to cool down and try again. :)

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Couple of bugs found in the first 3 hours of using final OS2008 on N800:
-inability to invoke finger keyboard (as noting by Mara and others)
-up button on d-pad does not work when scrolling feeds in RSS reader (Filed at: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2598)
-thumb keyboard cannot be invoked at all within Skype (even pressing center d-pad)
-moving/resizing desktop applets is frustratingly difficult, and they tend to move around when you put the tablet in your pocket. It would be nice to be able to lock them in place once you have set them exactly as wanted. (Many thanks to the poster who suggested quick movements--that helped, but it is still difficult to get them exactly where you want them)

I'll edit this post if I think of more...

EDIT: I just want to say that, for all the bugs we are reporting, OS2008 is really excellent. It is very attractive, very fast, and so far, pretty stable. Thanks to the Maemo team for all their hard work.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

The brightness adjustment is still very limited making it difficult to read in the dark at such a high intensity, even at the lowest setting.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

On a freshly installed N800, the App manager shows an update tp the map app (map 2.2.6.377-1). But when trying to apply the update it fails saying that "Software contains updates to paclkahes installed from a different source and is likely to harm the system. Contact software author."

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

The Application manager shut down automaticly sometimes.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

There is a bugzilla bug on the finger keyboard issue: #2597

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2597

It's "shared" with another issue, but that has been solved.
Please comment and vote on it if you do have the same issue.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

The issue is restoring from a backup ... not sure which part is causing the problem, but it's likely in settings If I had to guess. I've been able to restore my bookmarks and application list without killing the input though I chose to restore after the initial setup and not right after flash.

I would suggest a clean flash if you are having this problem or others. Seems to resolve my stuff -- though now I am stuck like everyone else with limited access to the repositories which are either unavailable (404) or just brutally slow with the activity we are all bringing.
