no clue, but the one i had stored on my external card worked like a charm. (i do that to all debs i grap outside of repos).

I cannot make this AGPS app on the N810 do anything though. I changed the settings to link to '3' but still nothing.

I think you have to manually disconnect WiFi connection and re-connect (manually) to your mobile phone before AGPS will function.

Seems like the AGPS WiFi connection does nothing for me (no matter how long I wait) or for you either.

In case no-one has replied yet (can't see any) and in case you read this:
I think it should be the same as your old lock code - mine has stuck with me.

I've got it working fine with this deb:

Although it seemed ify before I rebooted after.

Greetings:


I've upgraded to the new firmware Diablo.

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but can someone please tell me what has been improved over the older firmware?

For me the only thing I've noticed is that Diablo is faster in responding when flipping through different website pages.

Also Video seems to run much more smoothly.

Can anyone add any other improvements that I can't seem to notice.

Regards Robert

Why not leave well enough alone? Just hold down D-Pad to scroll, or tap it to go to a link. Best of both worlds. I must be missing something...

Personally, before I changed it, I never used it to go to a link. Never. Just didn't find that convenient at all. And holding it down to scroll can get old real quick. It's slow and ended up being rough on my thumb, like when I was playing nintendo for hours a day!

One tap to jump down an entire screen's worth hits the sweet spot----for me. Those last two words really are the key. ;)
