I have the 205 (Vodafone) version of the firmware and wondering what would happen if i re-flashed to the newest global version?

Just don't like the idea that they have control over aspects of my tablet/phone much as Apple do over the iPhone

Any info or help would be much appreciated

Thanks

i'd wait for the new firmware, try it out and if you don't like it... reflash with the global :D

I got also "you should update with PC" notification.
And had to go through all application to see what depencies are there.
And quake had libgles1-sgx-img and this site tells new update will bring libgles2-sgx-img.
So uninstalled quake and now I can update over the air.

But why can't the firmare update tell me what libraries have conflicts?

You're on the middle east/north africa variant (003).

I'm not sure on what the differences are.

does this update adds Vsync to N900?or this major problem is still there?

Sucessfully updated last night from Spain.

Some error messages during the process (oooops, what a moments!!) but after all running like a charm.

I feel battery same pain.

Some speed improvement, especially web browsing.

Nothing else remarkable.

I think that's more of the same.

indeed, I can understand why they might want to roll out regions differently, for all sorts of purposes. but I don't really understand why they can't publish a schedule. even a provisional schedule of which variants are rolling out at what points.
Given the size of this update, I'm not that fussed to grab it immediately, but come 1.2 I can see people will get much more frustrated being 24+ hours behind the curve picking up some big new features/fixes.

nothing to do with carrier. I bought mine unlocked from Nokia, so it's the generic uk update I'm waiting for.

I am in the UK on vodafone and I got the update yesterday a few mins after it was released.

But I do have a US handset. I guess they are discriminating.

hehe, not really discriminitation... :D

The status is

Both UK upgrades are waiting still... 203 and 205.
One is a voda version, the other is a general UK unlocked one. (But that is kinda irrelevant)

People do have the option to reflash to the global version if they are desparate for the upgrade, but personally i can't see a reason to do that.
(Search the wiki for flasher for info - if you really really want - generic warning applies!)

If you have a rootfs, or low memory issue with the upgrade - search the wiki for rootfs - you will get a lovely page full of advice and tips..

If you don't know where the wiki is, it is here :)
(Just pre-empting on that one i feel!)

And for clarification. There is no news on when it will be released in the uk, and there probably won't be. Please be patient :D

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 
Agreed. No point in reflashing to get the update. There are absoultely no immediate gains from this update. It wont change your experience and you're really not missing much.

I never buy my phones from carriers only sim free and direct from nokia . My recent nokia phones n97 , n82 , n96 have all been unlocked yet being from the uk have always been updated with the latest firmware last and in some cases by a couple of months .

Well its 24 hours, and its still no sign of the new firmware in the UK.

Seriously. What could be delaying this so much?

Because there's no other place in the world which will bend over and take it up the a**e as well as the uk .

The sluggish video may be because of bugs 8165 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8165) or 7147 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7147)

If helps - vote for it for faster resolution.

Hi to all ,
reading through all these files I believe we need a sticky
thread which only allows posts from approved members.


A link could be added to the top of each page.

This would save not having a lot of repeat posts.
Because it would give immediate answers.

Just a thought rushmam

Its now 12:18. Still no update here in the UK, and Nokia Software Updater is being a sod too. Can't get my device info.

So does using the search button save on repeat posts ;)

I'm fairly new here as well as quite a few users, but i know how to use a search button or browse through a thread before posting a question.

PS UK 205 user and still no update :(

I put a brainstorm in for this a while ago - not many votes though :(

Please see my brainstorm here
And another brainstorm here

edit - it's not exactley what you said, but allows important news and links to be clear and visible (instead of important posts within threads)

Judging from the repeat posts NO.

I can live with the delay for the update.

However I'm very interested in knowing what causes it. What is so different between the other firmwares and the UK one?

If it's a UK carrier requirement thing is there anyway that those of us who forked out for a sim free N900 in order to avoid being tied to the whims of UK Networks can receive the worldwide firmware rather than the UK one? (yes I know I can download and flash manually, I mean a way where I don't have to do anything different)

Don't think it is a carrier thing as stated a few pages ago, as it affects the non carrier related version.

yes, search the wiki for flasher - you can flash to the global firmware version whenever you want. (General usual warnings apply - don't forget to backup!)

I have also a "problem" with the update.

I have a German phone, but im currently in switzerland. No update for me so far with the appmanager.

But i recently have done a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and some offical packages got upgraded.

but the about dialog still says i have not the 3.2010.02-8 firmeware. :)
