Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Your problem (the one you solved)) was related to the stylus keyboard not appearing, as far as I understood.

My problem, and other's, is that the thumb board is not appearing. And you were also filing this bug over there, weren't you ?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

I noticed this problem too. The (stylus) keyboard will type characters all around the one I intended. Calibration doesn't help. I haven't noticed this on the thumb keyboard, but I don't use that as much as the stylus keyboard.

A related problem is that my stylus keyboard often doubles letters. The tap sensitivity seems all out of whack since my update. This causes the most problems when trying to enter a password, since I can't see doubled or mis-typed characters. The worst case was when I changed my root password and it must have done the same mis-type twice in a row, because I couldn't get back into root... Finally one time the keyboard misfired the same way again and I was able to get in and change the password to the proper one.

I just can't believe it still can't handle ID3 tags properly, the most rudimentary feature of any PMP -- No sorting on track number (#1045), text parsing problems on track name (#2302, #1103), etc. etc.. It's like they don't even want it to be a media device.

OK, my venting is done now. Back to more (sigh) important bugs

"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."

it's problem for me, too.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

I'm getting the same thing with the bluez-utils update. Is this a repository problem or software?

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Thank you, so much. This bug has been irritating and now there is a work around (hey, I'm new over here.)

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Yeah it's the repos. Remove the existing ones and go to gronmayer.com/it/ to get JUST the ones you need. There are links to show what is inside the repos to look for the particular app you need to install. The Map application, well, I just installed Meamo Mapper instead :0)

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

A new finding.... Anyone noticed that the window scrollbars down and right arrow buttons can get "stuck" if pressed with stylus and then slide the stulus to the white space below/right of the button?

I opened a new bug #2722 on it.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Yes, this happens to me quite often. The same or similar happens also with the dpad buttons. Many times they behave as if they got stuck.

It seems there are a big number of 'clicks' that are getting registered. It is audible too if you haven't disabled the sounds..

Thanks for opening this bug.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Since we are talking about bugs, I haven't seen/found anyone mentioning the following:

1. when opening the bookmarks from the web icon in the desktop (that show the exaggerated/thump-friendly mode) and choose a folder inside a folder, that is a third panel has opened which overlaps the first, you cannot use its scroll-down/up screen buttons. If you press them all the panels close.

You can recreate this by adding this structure in your bookmarks:
and attempting to choose 'bookmark6'. MissionImpossible.

2. In the RSS feed reader app the scroll up function using the dpad isn't working but only jumping from link to link if pressed consecutively. The scroll down works in both ways though.

3. The file manager shows the bluetooth shares also when the bluetooth is switched off from its menu. It only stops displaying them when the device is set to 'Offline mode'.

I would be interested to know whether those 'bugs' appear only on my device..

Thx.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Yes, I have tthe same problem with nested bookmarks... its not just your install :) I've had to use the Bookmarks application to gett at those links.

Another, at least ffor me, is highlighting/re-typing text. In certain cases, I believe always in form fields, if I mistype and then highlight the text, I have to hit backspace to erase. I simply cannot type ovver the selected text.

And my keyboard sometimes sticks :)

added: Same here with bluetooth, but mine alwas did that (2007)... clickingmon my n80 phone n file manager/bluuetooth would auto turn on bluetooth; thought ttat was cool. Not surre if it still does.

I did notice that even thouggh BT is off via control panel, sometimes on boot I get a 'bluetooth is set on' msg, but no icon.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Thanks for confirming. I use the little globe in the bottom left of the microb.. It pops the bookmarks for use with stylus.

Yes, that is also true. In addition it works better if you highlight the text from left to right or top to bottom if many lines.

can't comment, I've got the N800!

It doesn't do this on the NIT. It pops a message though that it's unable to connect..

I've seen that too a couple of times.

Now looking at your message I notice all the double letters. This is the worst bug with the touch screen. It's over-sensitive and it's really frustrating when typing passswoorddsss!!!

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Agreed, I've gotten into the habit of typing passwords into the address field to spell check and then cut/paste. I usually clean up my posts, but thought leaving the double-keys in that time would be fitting. <grin>

Despite a few oddities, the upgrade has been great, and looks great. Browser almost never crashes and big menus are perfect for a fat thumb-navigator like me, tho I know this feature is,unpopular with some.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

i would classifyy the double letter/keyboard bounce issue aas the highest priority for me personally. I find this thing unbearablee when typing emails, entering web urls, and especially paasswords. So i have decided to stop correctting thhe douuble lettters in my posts. What you see here is exactly whhat os2008 registered.

bassic input function is critical, and tthis os releasse just isn't cutting it. unfortunately, tthe common answer arround here is ffor the user to modify their stylus use tto accommoddate the device's shortcomings. I'm ready to go back to ANY other device/os just to be able to have the most basic freakin function of any computer - ttext entry.

Re: 2.2007.50-2 firmware bugs and issues
 

Is that what's really being suggested? I thought people were recommending fine-tuning sensitivity settings to accommodate the differences between each user's style and speed...
