I am so relief that I found this site but.....
 

I just got a N 800 and luv it, but I wish I could maximize it's use, but somehow I just discovered that it's very limited to find resources to get some information to use it. Please keep in mind that I have no experience working with Linux period.

I hope that through the help of some of you could help me to figure out the following:

1-how can I syn or connect it to a XP box, connected via USB with the cable included ? So far I can only see on the XP box the Map folder that resides on the N800 (which is empty).
how can I see the rest of the folders etc?

2- how do you upload images? and documents? I've read that I can only upload PDF not word maybe text is that correct?

3- how to upload music? I have Rhapsody installed but need to register and pay, is there any other way that I can upload my own music?

4- I also have osso-xterm, but when I checked on line it shows that it's an emulator for Nokia 770, so does it work for the N800?

5- I also have Boingomobile? I haven't use it, but I suspect that is for locating hot spot to use it with the N800. Am I wrong?

6- I also saw online that I can use a Igo folding keyboard, can I use any type of folding keyboard or ????

7- One more thing, I also use an iMac (Tiger), it would be nice if I could upload or syn with the Mac, do I need to install a different software or driver?

Thanks in advance

When connected via USB, the N800 acts as a SDHC card reader. Transfer files as you would to any flash drive. The internal flash memory isn't available via USB, just the cards.

You need to visit this site www.tabletscene.com and go through the articles first.
Everything from connecting to the internet through wifi or your phone to listening music and watching video.

5. Boingomobile: If I'm not mistaken this isn't exactly for locating hotspots, it's a special deal you do with Boingo which (with the help of an application) lets you log in to pay-networks (e.g. T-Mobile, and dozens of others) and pay your nominal Boingo rate instead of having to pay-as-you-go with e.g. credit card. If you use such networks reasonably often then it's presumably much cheaper to get a Boingo contract.

p.s. Yes, look at tabletscene (link in vabgeo's post). And http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/

As you can figure it out I'm a newbie..... and very pleased with the N800;however, I got a couple of or more questions.
1-I read on this site that it's better to leave the N800 turn on all the time, and I'm aware that it has about 13 hours of stand by time. I'd like to leave the AC adaptor connected but when the battery is fully charge, I get a msg. to unplug the AC because it could drain the battery. T or F

2- I also figured out how to upload images, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best place to placed them a)int. mem card b)ext, mem card c)split some in flash memory

3- When running slide show from images stored on ext mem card, I get a message "Unable to display image skipping", but after a brief pause, the image shows up. How could I get rid of this annoying message.

4-Is there a way that I could change the slide show time?

5- I have some song that I'd like to upload, I read somewhere that I should treat them like any other file., ie.,copy to mem card. Again, int or ext mem card? Once the copy is completed should I copy to the folder that came with N800 "Music" or through Rhapsody or how can I play the music I uploaded

More like 10-30 days. Just leave the charger plugged in overnight and you'll be fine.

Re: I am so relief that I found this site but.....
 

The popular advice is to leave the N800 on all the time, because it consumes very little battery life when idle. However, sometimes a misbehaving program will keep it from idling fully and the battery will die in hours instead of days.

As for the "disconnect charger" message, ignore it. It only applies when the N800 is disconnected from the charger.

When disconnected from the N800, the charger still consumes a trivial amount of electricity. Nokia just wants to encourage you to reduce your electricity use.

Its better to use the SD for file storage, and leave the internal for programs.
Documents, Photos, Music, should go in the SD cards.

Re: I am so relief that I found this site but.....
 

Most software for the N800 can seamlessly detect and play files from either memory card. There's no need to copy files to the onboard flash.

So, organize your files as you see fit. I'd start by creating a couple folders on the card, like "videos" and "music" and go from there.

ok great, I was trying to get an idea how other people that have been using the tablet store their stuff.

What about the error message that I get when I run the slide show? Also, anyway I could change the timing to change slides.

How do I get an App to run. As I said I went to App. Mgr selected the application but don't give me any choice to run but, to uninstall, details or cancel

Very very trivial amount of electricity.

Re: I am so relief that I found this site but.....
 

Actually I am not too concern with the consumption of electricity even though I am trying to minimize my footprint, but I was more interested to know if it would damage the N800 by leaving it plugged to the AC adaptor to the electric outlet because of the message I get once it gets a full charge "unplug the AC cord or it will drain the battery"

Re: I am so relief that I found this site but.....
 

My Nokia N800 doesn't say, "unplug the AC cord or it will drain the battery",

mine says, "Disconnect charger from electrical socket to save energy".

Some of us believe this to mean reduce wasted electricity to save planet Earth from global warming. I made some measurements to reveal that the Nokia charger draws so little electricity at idle that unplugging it from the wall is irrelevant.

~~~~~~~~~

Here is an observation:

When my N800 battery is fully charged and I grab the AC-4U adapter and extract it from the electrical socket, my N800's wakes up, lights the screen and barks....yup, you guessed it...."Disconnect charger from electrical socket to save energy". Particularly annoying because I already did just that.

.

The amount of energy used by the N800 to wake up, light the LCD screen and display that message consumes significantly more electrical energy than if it had stayed asleep, keeping the screen dark. The energy to display that illuminated message dozens (maybe hundreds) of times each year exceeds what the charger draws at idle plugged in continuously for an entire year.

Re: I am so relief that I found this site but.....
 

Yes, I tried that and it worked, but I'm still looking for some suggestion how to change the timing on the slide show, and the error message that I get between images
error can't display image, then there is a puse and the image appears. It's rather annoying. Any suggestion>?

Re: I am so relief that I found this site but.....
 

I use Quiver more than the Nokia image viewer, you could try it.

It could be that your images are too large/card is too slow, and you could avoid the error message by altering one of those, but I think Quiver may take care of it too.
