Would be good but not necessary. Some equalizing could be done through "alsamixer -c 0" in the terminal.

Yes, there is. It need you to overclock though.

There is an application that does this. I am not sure about different ringtones though. I know there are some working toward this.

why switch the screen off when its on loud speaker?

Mine is good. Might be a problem with your speaker. Yeah.. would like an option to make the screen not close. Or be open longer than 2 min.

coz n900 consumes lots of data

hmm.. this i am not sure of. Would be a big download when online though.

You could switch of the internet. Then it would not look for updates. There is a bunch of programs for that.

Re: make a list of all the issues u have with ur n900
 
I am having problems with the Nokia app Communications. All textings, chats go to Communications app. I do like to keep record of my textings and chats and keep it there.

Unfortunately, it seems to hog the memory and it slows down my phone tremendously.

I have tried to copy and paste to keep it somewhere and then erase it. But I have not been able to do that. Anyone got suggestions?

I appreciate any help you may provide!

other softwares usually end up with bugs
i know, ive tried espeaker thigny too but its still buggy
nokia has the resources and it wont start from scratch if they tried putting in this feature.. besides, they, from experience probably know all the bugs that can be present
i'm not a terminal person, not exactly a professional
and powersaving, i meant like s60 has a system like.. when the battery is like 5-10%, the screen brightness will be reduced.. and if they limit processor state too or switch it to powersaving as governor, that could actually be useful

I am not sure Nokia is the best answer. Sure, they will probably put some more features in future upgrades but i like how the community gets the responsibility of development. The best Nokia could do is to open the source completely.

And that idea of powersaving is not entirely bad. Make a request for it. A script that unloads unnecessary kernelmodules, lower brightness and if overclocked reduce freq to 250mhz. If i had the knowledge.. i'd done it pronto.

I figured you dont really hate Nokia rather you love her too much that you want everything running on N900 developed by Nokia.

However, Im afraid I've to remind you the cruel reality that majority of the default packages come with N900 are not branded with Nokia.

If you want a phone runs 100% apps officially from Nokia then you must have bought the wrong phone.

The problems you listed can be summarized as "I bought the wrong phone for myself so I can't stop myself yelling". My condolence.

love it?
no
but they have technical experience *not referring to marketing* and the resources which one man alone *in the community* dont
and yes, they should make everything open shouce, or atleast contribute in their own projects *meego*
if the support was official for n900, we would have most of the drivers including cellular already

In my opinion one should know what he get for what he pay for. For me I know they won't release phone app in opensource (btw, who would?) and that I should dig into third-party packages for harnessing the extra functionalities of my N900.

The repetition of your own wish on Nokia revealed that you bought another phone from Nokia without serious forethought just because it's from Nokia. This is neither you, N900 or Nokia's fault, it's the blind love that put you into misery . Again, my condolence.

Name one company that could fulfill the list of your requests. Nokia probably isn't on your list. I know your feeling. My condolence the third time.

No! It isn't!! iPhone 4 is now and Meego is unpredictable future. An iPhone in the hand is worth two Meego in the N900....something like that...

Don't wait, you love Nokia enough and you should wake up now.

Well, half the pages ago you said you don't trust 'other software' aka software that isn't branded by Nokia, now suddenly you have hope on Opensource?

It's called Stockholm syndrome. The more opensource tortures you the more you put hope on it. You need help.

Oh hey look, yet another person has decided to attack people who don't like closed source software.

It's obvious that you're mistaking this forum for the Apple forums. Also, this and several other posts should be removed, if this topic is to remain relevant.

open source is good
thing is..
open source might take ages to do what nokia can do in jus some lil time.. *resource/profession/number of peeps participating/ past experience factor*
how long did it take for one missing feature for open source to perfect?

Actually my company makes embedded devices and I tell you that there's a huge difference between something just works and something that never works. Most Opensource projects is the former, and most close source projects is latter.

Nokia should not take over the entire opensource development on Maemo or Meego or whatsoever, actually this is the very last thing we'd like to see as third party developers. The path would only lead to OSX or Android, which I can skip the ranting on.

No you did troll...at least I personally don't think you're a troll.

However, I'm not sure I should stick to the topic of the OC raised, as you can see (or you've the patient to read from the beginning), that I've already answered to OC, make on-topic discussions all the way, and concluded long long time ago. The replies I gave today are just to answer to your questions. Nothing more.

In retrospective, you shouldn't have dug such an old post that the original topic is already very outdated and irreverent (pre-PR1.2 problems). If you want people to stick to the topic, make your own post.

i asked the guy who merged it to make my thread as primary as im editing it and its supposed to be the bottom line
no one, lazy or otherwise, has enough time to read through 900+ posts
and oh, lol at make ur own post
thats what i got called a troll for

I see! Then I think the mod believed that your list is similar to the OC raised.

Let see....

Yes they are.

Here is my answer that I hope can help:

thank you

*add suggestions that can actually be changed i.e not hardware based*

1) no say callers name or different ringtones

1) mycontacts

Quote:

2) n95 has better camera quality *in my opinion* **i'll test and confirm this**
2) try set the ISO to anything other than auto, and choose a mode like landscape or portrait other than auto, and remember to half-press the camera button to focus first (not applicable to landscape mode)

Quote:

3) no vsync in messages *scrolling and frame rate*
3) what's that?

Quote:

4) virtual keyboard is difficult to use
4) ukeyboard?


Quote:

5) and flash 10 was promised, *yes, i contacted nokia via email, europe didnt reply, mea had the same typical "we're sorry that u are having issues with ur nokia device"
5) delay of the flash 10 is hardly Nokia's problem or community's fault. Adobe is sole responsible for it. Don't worry, HTML5 is way up ahead to replace flash. If Adobe do not value their business, just leave flash 10 out of N900, we care less.

Quote:

6) and speaker sound is damn low when i turn it on during calls and why switch the screen off when its on loud speaker?
6) speaker problem might be hardware-wise, I'm sorry to tell you that. Try pressing the spot to the right of the phone speaker to see if you get better reception, if you do, then I'm sorry to tell you that you might get someone to fix it as it's the exact location of the phone speaker is.

The auto-off during phone calling is annoying yes. Something has a fix of it but I forgot where it is, you should look for yourself.

Quote:

7) no voice navigation and it has has nothing to do with qt
7) Why, there is. Ask google.


Quote:

8) and app manager refreshing is waay to slow
8) I think someone else has suggested...fast app manager. I use console mode apt-get anyway


Quote:

9) widgets missing, during changing themes and if selected again, they come back to their original position
9) you can type sync;sync in xterminal before shutdown your phone. It's a Linux nevertheless

Quote:

10) offline gps location finding?
is this a hardware limitation?
coz n900 consumes lots of data when online
10) Yes, look for Nokia map loader
is this a hardware limitation? -> your SD space

Quote:

11) it would be nice if software update could be checked in an adjustable time period coz again, i loose all my credit *prepaid* when it suddenly checks for app updates
11) Yes it can be done. Again you should look for it yourself. I got only so much time in my life for my own problems ya know XD

Quote:

12) internet access customizable like s60v5.. java apps
each can set which apps can use net and how to notify
12) that's not the real internet customization, it's just access right restriction on java application. You should look at the Java on N900 for more details. No, N900 is not made for running java application by default so you must do it the hard way.

13) i read the bugjar thingy, didnt get a technical sh*t
can someone tell me what happened to the BME becoming open source for the host mode project?
13) I can only say N900 would be the first phone that enable USB host-mode in the future given its openness. Other phone would just say no to you

Quote:

14) can someone confirm that n900 can never have multi touch support.. i read in wikipedia that resistive can have multitouch and it was provided to windows mobile *htc i think* recently..
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58193

14) in my opinion multi-touch is the most useless function, especially when you've keyboard. Anyway, if you need that multi-touch badly, all resistive touchscreen phones are not for you (anyway I've been told there's a project for N900 multi-touch. Look for yourself)

Quote:

15) its laggy and 500mhz min is safe to use, even if u keep 600mhz max and the laggyness goes away
15) It's laggy because the process run on true multi-tasking. This is something I can live with for that nice multi-tasking.

17) if someone can come up with a widget for dialer, i've seen one around but its too small
if someone cal make a portrait based widget *dun care if ti takes up the whole screen*, i'll be glad coz opening up the dialer flips the screen *which is slow* and we also have to tap again for the dialer
17) Just go to configure and stop it from flippy. You should really read the menu (well, honestly I didn't XD)

18) all components open source or contribution on research projects and porting of other OS which require drivers of closed components
18) well, how would that be the problem of opensource projects?

21) portrait apps to say the least like sms or photo browser with a portrait based virtual keyboard

21) I don't want portrait SMS, but it can be done(look for yurself) and you can go portrait mode with photo browser. Do you really use N900 anyway?

Quote:

22) call duration, record of past calls and their duration along with internet *not wifi*
22) extended calllog, and many other applications others has suggested above.

23) Videos stutter a lot for the first few seconds of play back.
23) I don't feel the stutter.....what other apps you run on background anyway?

Quote:

24) Scrolling through a long list can be quite jerky. For example if you are scrolling through the thumbnails of your photos.
24) What other phone not jerky in this case?

Quote:

25) Sometimes the phone rings with a blank screen for a few seconds so no way to answer the phone. I know a few others have had this issue but not sure how wide spread it is.
25) Just tap in the middle

26) there is no equalizer for media player

27) there is no power saving mode *and power-saving, i meant like s60 has a system like.. when the battery is like 5-10%, the screen brightness will be reduced.. and if they limit processor state too or switch it to powersaving as governor, that could actually be useful*

Let see....

Yes they are.

Here is my answer that I hope can help:




1) mycontacts



2) try set the ISO to anything other than auto, and choose a mode like landscape or portrait other than auto, and remember to half-press the camera button to focus first (not applicable to landscape mode)



3) what's that?



4) ukeyboard?




5) delay of the flash 10 is hardly Nokia's problem or community's fault. Adobe is sole responsible for it. Don't worry, HTML5 is way up ahead to replace flash. If Adobe do not value their business, just leave flash 10 out of N900, we care less.



6) speaker problem might be hardware-wise, I'm sorry to tell you that. Try pressing the spot to the right of the phone speaker to see if you get better reception, if you do, then I'm sorry to tell you that you might get someone to fix it as it's the exact location of the phone speaker is.

The auto-off during phone calling is annoying yes. Something has a fix of it but I forgot where it is, you should look for yourself.



7) Why, there is. Ask google.




8) I think someone else has suggested...fast app manager. I use console mode apt-get anyway




9) you can type sync;sync in xterminal before shutdown your phone. It's a Linux nevertheless



10) Yes, look for Nokia map loader
is this a hardware limitation? -> your SD space



11) Yes it can be done. Again you should look for it yourself. I got only so much time in my life for my own problems ya know XD



12) that's not the real internet customization, it's just access right restriction on java application. You should look at the Java on N900 for more details. No, N900 is not made for running java application by default so you must do it the hard way.

lol
those arent my problems
those are problems everyone is facing..
i collected and made a list out of it

i have the maps downloaded in my device
thats not the data consuming part, the widgets and software update is.. and it keeps asking me to go online, otherwise it wont find my location

vsync or increase framerate for scrolling
basically the same thing

internet restrictions! exactly! and no java or java settings.. besides, i want it universal.. for every app that needs internet access

i've seen the project.. well its not for n900 specifically, its for resistive touchscreen.. and i wanted someone who knows what he's saying to answer it, not jus some guy who has a vague idea

media box and other players cant use the desktop widget.. can they?
play pause from desktop is alot easier *for me atleast, maybe used to it*

ntdroid and other os porting needs drivers for closed components
thats the issue

photo browser can go portrait?
how? :-/

"there is a solution, just look for urself" are u jus sayin that or there really are solutions? and portrait isnt my idea, i jus collected others issues /solutions over other threads
thats goes for extended call log too *i already have it*

none, and they kinda lag in the beginning, perhaps coz it starts from where i left is the last time? :-/

tap the middle
lol
no its its already done by then
i think its coz phone is in landscape and calls are in portrait

powersaving is more like a widget.. but it'll do for the meanwhile

If you just consolidate a list of incorrect, irreverent or solved issues without verifying them yourself before posting them, and after posting them you don't care or evaluate any answer that'd be given, then you can't blame others calling you are troll.

Now looking closely I'm afraid you're starting to look like one....

You're doing it wrong then. I'm sorry I can't give you further instruction on this. You could refer to Nokia's forum for details.

Quote:

Do you realize that other phone is single-tasking so restricting the network access in general basically means restricting the network access of the entire phone while your app is running. Just turn off the network when you run your app in the foreground. If you wanna restricting network access of the background job, then it's N900 specific, and it can only be done in N900's way. It can be done, but I don't see why you should do that.

Quote:

Just like I said before, I'm the someone who don't care if N900 has multi-touch.

And I don't know why you can't google the keywords 'multi-touch n900' yourself and instead ask for someone to tell you. There's even video for this project, and you keep telling me that it doesn't exist just because no one else tell you and you don't believe me?

Quote:

If you want widget then stick to the original one. If you can't live with the fact that all programs has strength and weakness one way of the other then you can make you own one with all the strength in one, then make huge profit out of your achievement.

Even other phone's media players have weakness you got to live with, at least N900 gives you options to choose. Be nice to it.

Also, I need to remind you that media players in N900 are not just limited to default, mediabox or symfonie, there're many other I don't list because I haven't tried them. You need to do your own research if you want to find one suits you.

ntdroid and other os porting needs drivers for closed components

And that is the fault of opensource how? (I wish you remember what's your original supposition)

Turn the freaking phone in up right position. I must ask again are you really using N900?

The part I tell you to look for yourself is that the detail solution is just 3 second googling away. You know some of your question involved long list of procedures that can be found anywhere but here. We can just spoonfeed you that far in a simple reply.

Try SiB or Kmplayer then.

I told you to look at the menu for the configuration of phone app to prevent this from flipping which I don't think you've done so, right?

Try it, it's so great. I always use it while I"m not using the internet. Of course, you'd like to make another script to bring back all the connections, which isn't included in the widget.

conversations
scroll there, u'll see low frame rates
thats what im talking about
overclocking doesnt solve that
i've got 500mhz min

yes, im aware and thats what i want, wahts wrong with having that option?
if i use maps to connect to net, everything gets updated.. eats up all my balance.. most annoying, the phone updates being checked automatically..

i did, even went to wiki
they're all about resistive, not n900 specifically.. and some say it can, some say it cant.. thats why i need a professional answer

its not my problem with open source..
look
if u go and read, like host mode for example, needs BME MADE OPENSOURCE coz its a closed component..
gets?

those are photos turning, not the browser..

thx for the phone app though,

LOL.. thank god i didnt try that yet.. but its good for me if im outside.. *not at home*

What conversations? There's a lot conversations going in N900 daily.

Look, English is not my native and I'm not that good at expressing myself in English so I've no intention to make fun of yours, but really at least you should address the name of the apps correctly so that I can help,right?

Again, there're specific topic in Nokia forum. You should seek help from someone who're constantly using it and I'm sure they'd help you there.

There is software BME project.

conversations application and try scrolling through ur sms

google youtube is usually a fake dis or a technical demonstration
someguy on youtube showed that he can run windows xp on his 5800 lol
and we can hear the clicks on the back :P

bme is a hardware component and its drivers are closed.. if they were open source, today i'd have usb host mode..

the photo app.. the builtin one..
im not being specific..
portrait on all or atleast many apps with virtual keyboard would be awesome

Yes, you can do that, but do you realize that you've bought a phone that is intended to operate in landscape mode officially?

May be going back to my original question: have you bought the wrong phone for yourself?

google has no results on multi touch,
i'd be glad if u can find it for me though

thing is, there is no project for bme itself,
u dont get the concept,
bme is a driver
like video card driver for pc
but bme is builtin for n900
comes with maemo
cant be downloaded externally
and nokia wont give us the bme drivers coz it will invade privacy?
ok read this https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9314
u'll get what i mean

yes, all cellphones can support portrait or landscape..
5730 for example?
that has a keyboard too
or n97

bought the right phone.. yes.. opensource seemed interesting..
but i didnt know that nokia will remove other things that are basically present in every other phone
i kinda expected the "high end" phone to have all the features present..
i mean cmon, thats like u buy a premium version of something but the premium doesnt have features from trail version

I wouldn't provide you the link as we're living in the different parallel universe.

Why BME close? Because any wrong setting would cause the battery to explode, literally.

I think you should accept the reality that N900 is made for landscape mode officially. The good news is that it can also operate in portrait with some tweak, which you reluctant to accept as a solution.

In this connection, N900 is the wrong phone for you, because we enjoy what you disdain at, that's very sad.
