Re: Just got my n800, please help me.
 

Nice deal there. Shows how much I pay attention to microSD prices/capacities recently! Thanks for the info.
(Although I'm still afraid of snapping or losing those tiny cards... need to pick your teeth? A microSD will do nicely :D)

Re: Just got my n800, please help me.
 

Seams like all the applications I download go straight to the flash memory instead of the 2 SD cards I put in. How do I do this lol?

Want to put MP3 and short videos on my 1GB until I get the 8gb SDHC. Does it make more since to put the larger capacity card in the internal slot, or the smaller capacity card? When you put MP3's and video on them, you don't need to take them out of the N800 right?

My nokia keeps playing dead any time I shut it off. Then I have to wait 30 minutes with the battery out. Ima update it to OS2008 and hope the problem goes away.

IF I do need to return it, can I just drive to Circutcity and ask for an extange? Or do I really have to ship it out to Nokia or circutcity?

Seams like a few other peoples devices do the same thing though..

The programs SHOULD go to main memory. This way even if you pull both cards it will still work. Things like audio/video files or maps should go to the cards for storage. If you download the .install files for programs instead of just running them, you can back up all the install files for later use if you reflash. Keep the card in your device, that's what the USB cable is for. Plus it's pretty delicate in there, no need to go poking around when you don't need to.

Applications don't take up much space, and will be installed in the builtin memory. Being a unix operating system, applications typically go into directories like /bin, /usr/bin/, /usrl/local/bin, etc. You can't easily move these directories onto your SD cards.

It's your media files that will typically reside on SD: music, videos, pictures, maps, etc.

I've had my N800 for a little over a week now. I immediately updated to OS2008 as it had just been released, so don't know how the N800 operated with OS2007. I do not have a power problem. You don't have to shut it down when you are done as it uses very little power when running. You can put it in offline mode (turns off wifi and bluetooth) to save more power if you want. On my N800, I press the power button briefly and get a pop up menu. Offline mode is one of the options. You could also lock the screen so that it doesn't turn on if accidently touched. I only shut down if something isn't working right and I want to reboot. After shutting down, leave it alone for 10-20 seconds before trying to power it back on. Also, I've heard people have trouble with it powering off and on with it plugged in, so I do this from the battery only.

Funny little device. It definitely has it's wierd quirks.

Yea it just died again. =( I emailed Nokia for the hell of it. Reason I turned it off was because I wanted to put in the 2 SD cards. Lol, will never shutting it off kill it for good? I don't think it gets very hot but still...

I deleted all the videos,mp3s, and pictures that were on it with the OS2008 installation since they took up space. So is the flash memory built into it enough to hold tons of applications without slowing down the device, or should I somehow put all the programs on one of my SD cards?

Right now I'm looking where to get Pidgin for OS2008, and trying to figure out how to convert video files into a playable format and resolution.

Hmm, will the screen turn dim in the 1 or 2 minutes even when watching movies?

Re: Just got my n800, please help me.
 

I hope you are right, but where does that info come from? Nokia?

Re: Just got my n800, please help me.
 

Been messing with my N800 all day. Finally added a video to the 1gb SD card, along with some songs and 1 picture.

Then I only had 128mb left..I found something in the memory section named virtual memory. It asked if I would like to convert some of my internal cards space into more memory. So I told it to do that to the remaining 128MBs figuring I can always take it back if I wanted to.

Well, does this make the device go faster or something? and if so, couldn't I just buy that 8GB SDHC card and use all 8gigs for virtual memory if I wanted to lol?

Finally my device has no media on the built in memory, and has 2 SD cards equipped to it which are filled with media. ^^

For a minute, I didn't think my headphones would fit in the jack. Had to put some force into it to get them in. lol same with the power adapter slot.

I did the update for )S2008 but when I check about product, it says: "Internet tablet OS: maemo Linux based OS2008

then under it it says: Version 2.2007.50-2, is that right or did I screw up?

Lastly, Is it possible to download more themes, or use one of my pictures as the wallpaper?

The SHDC spec. :rolleyes:

Re: Just got my n800, please help me.
 

Whether that amount of memory is actually addressable is another question :D
