Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

wow! n900 feels much quicker and the browser feels super optimized now. love it! have not tried ovi maps and wont until this high end beast gets maps version 3.0.

one problem to report though:

only 1 event on my calendar is visible on the widget. cant get it to regardless of what I do. any suggestions?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

uninstall apps you have from extras-devel and maybe testing.
also uninstalling games from ovi store made by offscreen freed up quite a few MB for me yesterday.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

after update i have this weird glitch on minimize icon.
Anyone other having this? I have default theme.

.edit also on background. Is my filesystem starting to get corrupted?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Fwiw, the update didn't change my notification light settings. My update was OTA; maybe it's different over USB.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

after upgrading the firmware and checking the version I get

2.2009.51-1.003

is this the right upgrade?

also does anyone know if this upgrade will fix the phone book sync over bluetooth while using a car kit?

thx

Doing mine now!!!!

Apparently it now only shows events for 2 weeks into the future, while before it showed further into the future.

Personally I think the 2 weeks is a strange arbitrary cut-off and should be configurable.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I think the calendar widget now only displays the next week. It used to show the next week and then random other entries (not necessarily the next ones), so I think it's slightly better like it is now.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

i have 2.2009.51-002

east coast us if it makes a difference

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I have a sneak suspicion that apt-get dist-upgrade may have been a mistake on my part. Been running for at least 1hr now and I am running dangerously close to running out of space - had 69 free when I started.

Looks like a flash may be in my future.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

really? im on east coast us (florida) and still no update =(

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Finally getting my update OTA.

Worked my *** off, but I got my rootfs down to 60.01MB free and that did the trick.

FYI: When I had it down to 59.8MB free, it STILL wouldn't do the update OTA, so crossing that 60MB of free rootfs space is critical.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I'm still wondering why I can't update my phone with NSU

Tried everything, it still gives me an error that I use hubs instead of direct USB's...

My usb's arent even hubs!?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Yes. One of my N900s uses the default theme, and after upgrading I had similar image corruption on that on-screen button. I fixed it by switching to the Digital Nature theme and back.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

some computers have internal hubs, I had an old computer that had a hub on the inside, I have no idea why..probably too lazy to make 2 seperate ports lol try putting it into a different port.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Mine updated fine OTA after I removed ioquake3. I had 69.5MB of space on root. Now for something odd, or irrelevant..

The hostname for the phone is still Nokia-N900-42-11, would have thought this would have been updated.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

NOTE THIS.....When i open browser to portrait mode WHY I CAN'T use virtual keyboard?? When i activate virtual keyboard he goes landscape??anyone have the same problem?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

That's why it's not been released as official functionality - it's not completed.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

It doesn't exist. There is no portrait mode virtual keyboard. Nokia has never stated publicly that they are making one for Maemo 5.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

It looks to me that battery usage while being connected over 3g and signed in to im networks is much improved now! Has anybody noticed this to?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

ALL COOL HERE IN MANCHESTER UK just done my update all fine and working just had a look at few things:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_5/PR1.1
http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5...omparison.html
and it look as loot of changes here from 90MB update will be trying to find em all out now :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

yep, i'll vote for that - i'll have a look for it :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Effectively meaning NO ONE HANDED SMS, pretty inexcusable. Oh dear - my little N900 might see ebay..

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

MMS isnt a big deal, but I thought MMS was meant to come with Pr1.1?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

One or more bloggers had announced that MMS would be coming in a January 2010 firmware update; however, there never appeared to be an actual source behind that news.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

MMS would have been nice, I'm sure it will come out in due time. The priority for this release was more than likely the 3G sim fixes which is pretty important. The extra bug fixes and improvements are most welcome too :)

I've had zero problems with my N900 so far, so I'm pretty happy its being well supported even when some issues aren't affecting everyone.

See fMMS, ctrl-shift-o for 2/3 of your questions. I'll take the improved battery life and the 1000s of other bug fixes, thank you.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I am trying ctrl-shift-o and not getting portrait mode in the browser. Am I missing something?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

You need to then close the keyboard & rotate the N900.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

press and hold ctrl+shift+o?

That is, the very top left button Ctrl + the large white up arrow + the o (letter) buttons?

Then close the keyboard. And rotate the n900 90-degrees.

Nothing happens.

off the topic q and A.. how did you put a picture on your avatar.??:o

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Found a trick. If for some reason it doesnt work after ctrl+shift+o, call your phone which will force it into portrait mode.

After I did that and went back to the browser and tried it, it worked
