Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

What a wolly.

This guy was run out of Geekzone.co.nz for his ridiculous ranting, constant whinging, and appaling spelling and grammar, making any threads he posts in very difficult and unenjoyable to read.

He is also easily wound up, and thinks he know everything and everything he says is FACT....he comes across like a teenager who is never wrong (but actually is)

With posts like that, it's only a matter of time before people here get sick off him too and run him out of Maemo.org

I welcome the day.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Yes. People that instead take the time to write posts about how much he sucks makes the threads much more enjoyable.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

I have to say I am never buying another Nokia device.The CEO of the company admitted they made mistakes in releasing the N97 with the bugs and everything else. I think it was on engadget. This, which they do not tout as their flagship phone-only we do, is unacceptable and they knew full wellwhere this phone was going before releasing. You can go on and on about it being an early-adopter/geek phone but the truth is a lot of consumers didnt find this out until after the phone was released. Nokia did not say on its website that this is a geek phone or the like. It is released as if it is a full finished product. BS. I remember when you had to know which number you were called from to complete the call from call log-unacceptable.

I am learning to accept that this phone will never have the developers of say symbian, apple, or even android. Nokia has lost a customer for life and soon as I am able to get rid of this phone I will. You can flame me if you like but this is a dead platform to the majority of simple users and it is going nowhere fast. I could have kept my n95 if everything is going to be written in qt. I believe they dont know what they want to do and use us, as consumers, to float the company until they figure out what it is they want to do. I am tired of unfinished products making it to retail only to have to update it before you use it. Then you have issues supporting 64bit windows 7 when most mainstream cpu's have that installed from jump street. I think this was a disaster and we will hear two years from now how they made mistakes.

I know a lot of you are perfectly happy with this phone, as u should be, but a lot of people are not. When someone has to borrow my phone I have to navigate it for them as if they cannot read. Meego is a disaster waiting to happen. Putting two platforms that are new to make a super platform of garbage is bs. And they tout qt. Why release a new platform if you are going to do this. Why even have an OS if qt runs on everything? I may be misinformed about meego but it just seems like more marketing and following apple to make an app store to make money.

Nokia was good at making solid phones that had nice features. Now we need an update every ten minutes because some lazy *** developer forgot to add a line or two. I dont even get six hours of use from my phone with the supposed 24hr connectivity. I am constantly charging my phone twice a day. Dont even leave the house without car charger. Might not be the right place to put this but it is a poorly executed endeavor on Nokia's part and I am sad that so many companies release unfinished stuff because it can be updated for later funtions. I can go on and on but will not. Sad days ahead. I am not counting on anymore updates and I want to see how long before we get win7 64bit support.

If you would like to contribute, I recommend reformatting your post.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

That might be a record. Best summary ever:

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

See all of us are crying about how Nokia n900 is dead and won't get support for new software (maemo 6). But we forget when the Nokia n800 released with os2007. Later that year Nokia released the new OS 2008 with the n810 and it was upgradeable to the n800 and it even provided a 70mhz boost in processing power. I myself am not worried about this at all. For the time being I am extremely happy with my N900 for what it is.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Mate, so are you saying that you are knowing everything, stay on your turf, i left Geekzone because of people like you, beside I didn't get banned there, I left and delete all my comments one by one. FYI I can still login into the forum but I choose not to.

So no know your fact before open up your foul mouth. So if you have nothing else to say that is relevant to the topic here please bugger off and don't be such a whiner like an old man here.

You and your spelling sux too. And if my writing and thread is appalling and not enjoyable to read then don't read, move a long and skip it. Why bother reading it?

At least most of the people here are much friendlier and nicer than you people.

Yes my English is not perfect and yes I don't give a damn about checking it, why? because it's a forum, I can write how ever I like.

If you work for Nokia then you then you may say I'm wrong, but you're not. Be nice to others and others will be nice back to you, and stop try to harassing people just because your childhood is bad .

I welcome the day too.

Sorry guys for being off topic, but I just can't stand that guy comments.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Your in dream land if you think that, phone function is rubbish, media player is rubbish, camera not bad on some phones, recording with the camera is crap, support is crap, ovi maps is crap, phones not even support by nokias own software after three months, ok i like the phone and think it can be the best but these things should work, there is so many blinkered users on here and to say these things work as they should it totally unbelievable.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

So true.
While the phone may suit a developer,the average user will be completely dissastisfied.Even tho i dont want MeeGo on my phone,i`d like to recieve updates continiously,but guess what,thats not gonna happen.We may recieve one more update,and its gonna bring bug fixes for the most part,the other features such as Ovi Maps and Ovi Store?We have to wait for them until MeeGo.And even then it`s uncertain if we are going to be able to run those applications on Maemo.Even tho both Meego and Maemo support QT,do you REALLY think that our hardware wont be outdated?Most of the new phones are running more than 512RAM and 1GHZ proccessors,what in the hell makes you think that nokia isnt going to want to compete with them?Its very unlikely that the hardware we have now will support the future software.Dont give us MeeGo,give us updates and software.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

LOL

I never said you were banned from Geekzone...you packed a sad and ran like a little girl...we all at Geekzone think it's funny as hell!

Come back to Geekzone bud...we need a dropkick like you to take the piss out of...a good laugh!

But if you don't, no worries, I'll be here on Maemo.org...watching, reading, ready to pounce on a dunce like you.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

wow. i actually like maxximuscool. he thinks and rants like me cause in the real work that's how i get **** done at work. It controls my staff, say things to people that others are scared to say, and you need us to bully you in the real realm and not on the internet. When i came here i was a nice guys until i met people like you targeting me about things when i was targeting the n900 with valid comments? lol well i wonder what you look like in the real word? did i beat you up in school? got something to prove do you??? need our shoulders to cry on?????. don't talk to people like that.

bottom line. You need bad to have good. you Ranting to have calm, but that's how things get done and discussion is made.

( waiting for the smart asses to come out. "oo felbutss your n900 is on fire, nokia is gonna go bust but cause im a poor loser im more concerned about your bad English." if you just let things go an realize others are more loud and in your face. things can get done. we are not iphones or sheep but different )

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Isn't about time we closed this thread or moved it to it's own "Zealots / FUD" forum?

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

wont happen. I check this everyday to wait for the word's. ANNOUNCED MEEGO IS COMING. this stuff just keeps it going lol

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

What an insanely useless post. I don't think we need people doing what you describe in the last paragraph.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Now where`s that triple thanks button...way to go mate ;).

Back on topic:Check the bugzilla reports,the signs "fixed in MeeGo" have started to show up,only things considering high-end users are going to be fixed.Where`s our support now?

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Weird, I thought the topic was whether the N900 would get MeeGo, not whether Maemo5 would still be supported by Nokia.

Perhaps you might like to take a look a the weekly bug jars (http://www.octofish.net/bugjar/) to see how many bugs on Official Applications and Official Platform are being fixed each week.

2010-02-22 through 2010-02-28: 29 bugs fixed
2010-02-15 through 2010-02-21: 30 bugs fixed

This doesn't take into account fixes and enhancements going on behind the scenes.

Support is clearly still there.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

thats great new. but is a lot of that fixed in meego or coming to maemo5?? when the bug reports say fixed in meego and they are bugs crippling the n900? wouldnt that be another sign meego could be coming??? hhhmmmmmmmm.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Although I'm a great believer in keeping threads on-topic, I don't think the two issues can be that easily separated. The same thing happened with Maemo 5 not coming to the N8x0 - people wouldn't be so upset about that if so many Maemo 4 bugs weren't set to "Fixed in Fremantle".

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Especially considering that two of the 29 bugs that were fixed this week are of the type reported in diablo, fixed in fremantle.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

totally agree...im proud of u son......everything the light touches is our kingdom...

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

so that answers my question. some of the bugs in the n900 are crippling the device but are fixed in meego as bugzilla conclusions. how does that help us??? lol its hilarious!

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

by the way its hard to believe. i will never at this current time part with my n900 as i love it so soo much. this includes a lot of others who complain in this thread. we are just upset about a few things which only came to light AFTER the n900's purchase. people do get upset at their kids but they grow to do amazing things eventually ;)

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

please can you supply a link to one of these "Fixed in Meego" bugs

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

@felbutss

Not sure what line of work you're in, but I'd be shocked if it had anything to do with software development. Fixing and enhancing software in the real world is a formal process. Threads like this are not part of that process. Trust me, your rants are at best meaningless for something actually getting changed or fixed by Nokia. If bugs don't make it to bugzilla, they won't be addressed. And spamming bugzilla is counterproductive. Enhancements are a slightly grey area, but before brainstorms, they too usually started in bugzilla. The rest can be picked up by the community, but that mostly happens because of an individual's self interest, not as the result of a forum members complaint.

I'm not trying to discourage you from voicing your opinions, but you mentioned earlier how you get things done where you're from, I'm just sayin' that that is much less effective in this kind of environment.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Considering some of the bugs slated to be wrapped up in PR1.2 were previously marked as "Fixed in Harmattan," I wouldn't put much stock in the stated milestone for some bugs.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Lately i`ve been having some graphical issues with my n900.Guess what i found out?
Bugzilla #5556
Nokia has decided that there no ressources will be put into fixing this for
Maemo5, hence closing as WONTFIX.

How is this a good thing?I`ve payed 600 euros for a device with a broken screen.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

sorry, what?
how is a minor bug in the screen switching eyecandy a broken screen?

don't get me wrong, WONTFIX is always bad, but this is getting really really stu^H^H^Hsilly.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

i think you got the wrong idea. i know not much can come out of this website. i have logged heaps of bugs trying to help.

i think we should just drop it. no hard feelings.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

No Thank, I like it here. Here is my second home. Please stay on the topic. This is about MeeGo and N900. Personal comments are off topic comments.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

For one, that's not your screen. It's called tearing, and is entirely related to the graphics chip redrawing faster than the screen can refresh.

Your device still works, and it's probably being ignored because it has zero impact on the functionality of the device.

Second, I recall somewhere (unofficially) that it was fixed. Wouldn't be the first time that something was going to be "Fixed in Harmattan" or WONTFIX for Maemo5 that actually did get fixed.

That said, their response to the issue is somewhat off-putting. I suppose a more "diplomatic" phrasing would have been better.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

I think Maemo5 is great as long the bugs are fixed and get all the software upgrade then I won't have any problem with the OS at all. I have grown to like the OS and I don't mind it if it doesn't get MeeGo or Maemo6. It is how you like the device not always the new flash OS.

As long they are keeping pumping the apps and free apps to N900 then i have no issues :D, Some of the community apps are extremely useful in my everyday usage. The community of Maemo.org are very helpful in producing more good apps and I'm just waiting for the day PS1 emulator is out for me to play with.

MeeGo may be great but it still got a long way to be a stable OS, basically just like the version 1.0 of Android back in the day.

Anyway, Thank for backing me up guys :D, welcome home

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

So many pages and so little information in this thread. I think the fact Nokia keeps silence about discussed topic speaks for itself. We have great hardware with experimental softwares so we can utilize maybe 70% of the capacity, Nokia has our 600€ and the deal seems to be done.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Well it doesnt impact the device`s performance but its extremely annoying :(,and obviosly it hasnt been fixed..I love my phone and all,but they need to get their hand dirty and put up some work,and im not planning on replacing this phone in a while so some bug fixing wouldnt hurt.I dont even care about MeeGO,i want updates,fixes and software.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Relax already....we don`t need the upgrade to Meego.Maemo is allright the way it is....it just needs a proper navigation app, and maybe an upgrade to flash 10.1 and some bug fixes and it will be a kick *** internet tablet/phone!...more apps are coming day in day out so no complains on that department.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

Sawat di crup! are you thai right? Your username sound like thai :D. Yes you are right, I just want all the fix and free turn by turn nevigation and flash 10.1 on the device and it should be satisfying me until the MeeGO released

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

The answer to the opener of this thread is Yes, MeeGo will take the N900 as first ARM reference hardware. So yes, there will be MeeGo support for the N900 since day 1.

Now, is it a good idea to close this thread so high in FUD and even personal attacks, and start fresh with a smile at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=554963 ?

Cryox,
I know you are no noob, iv'e seen you post around, would you go to bed with me?
Anyway, to the point - Are you using PR1.1.1?
Cause I never had that problem you are talking about, and I actually switch desktops very often, also I played with lots of wallpapers etc.

Edit : Who cares??? We are getting MeeGo!!!!!! Weeeeee

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

New user here.
Denver, CO. I got my N900 two weeks ago.

I did substantial research before purchasing, but failed to look at forums, so I was unaware of some of the issues with the N900, like no MMS and poor portrait support.

Once I got it, I was somewhat conflicted about keeping it. A Nexus One was only $50 more, and was in my mind the newer/fancier/nicer gadget. But, I kept reading the forums, kept customizing my phone, and kept thinking about it.

Then, I decided to browse a few Nexus One forums. I knew they had to be out there.

And what do you know?
They have their own issues too.

Spotty 3G, update problems and interface complaints, to name a few.
One thread, titled "Anyone have a problem-free N1?" mirrored the sentiments of a frustrated user here.

I haven't had any real issues so far. I miss MMS, and I had an interesting portrait glitch a while ago. So, I'm going to enjoy having the underdog OS, and go back to lurking.

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

you can sen mms with n900 with the app fMMS

Re: Nokia promises N900 will get MeeGo! Or perhaps not.
 

I'd like to see you send that MMS while driving or in a hurry (:
You have to manually create the MMS access point,
Manually connect to it before sending, and to receive, you have to guess you are going to receive and mms, and connect to the MMS access point... What a pain (:

Better then nothing, but not something i'd use, and I also miss MMS a lot, my GF's phone is not a smartphone, if I want to send her an image, my options are MMS or Video call, meaning fMMS, which is not fun.
