Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

what about waiting for the actual firmware? what are the odds that you can find something that has been overlooked? rumours say that the newest "RC" is about 16-xx so there is no way knowing what has been fixed and what not.

there is no realistic way turning leaked old fw to gold. (except showing why patience is a virtue)

of course you could start quessing but my guess is that there isn't enough people who are willing to do bugreporting among those who have installed the fw in the first place.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

True, no point stating foolish and such. If yes, perhaps buying N900 is already a foolish move to suffer all these problems. N900 is unique and opens up to many possibilities. When one chooses the N900, there's many things to learn and things to do. Whatever one chooses to do that is risky (be it overclocking, flashing firmware, flashing to MeeGo, flashing to Android, etc), it's the person's choice and risk to take, lessons to learn, experience to gain, etc.

If there is problem, then it's the person's choice and mistake, lessons to be learn, experience to gain, etc. What's the point of calling someone foolish and so on? Instead, those that have help to fix the problem actually helps the person and also learns in the other way round. Calling someone foolish gains nothing but self relieve or just to please one self.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

A lot of folks are waiting... but it's real funny how people were asking to be testers of the PR1.2, they "get a chance" via a leak (I don't agree with it) but hell... it's better than nothing.

What exactly would be wrong with actually contributing instead of just blindly waiting? Don't want to shape the future of your beloved platform? Don't want to find a problem? Just want to sit back and complain when PR1.2 still somehow misses some stuff that could have been caught the first time, instead of forcing yet another protracted wait for PR1.2.1 or PR1.3?

Seriously. What's so wrong with adding some bug reports? And (I think it was) olddognet (or something like that) was the one that reported that the leak was 4 weeks behind, and possibly further behind the HK N900.

It's not about turning that leak into gold. No way. But hell, if they jumped the gun, why not say "Hey, it's good, but I see this as a problem..." and if it's fixed in the final, so be it. If it's not, then what?

Wait again? Meh. I get what you're saying, patience is indeed a virtue. You're talking to the dude that's waiting for the N900 to get more right than wrong in regards to what I want... as opposed to jumping the gun when it was totally a whole "ooh, shiny shiny" affair when it came out.

Yet, I'm trying to say "Add to the bug reports since now Nokia just got quite a few more beta-testers" - which... they should have been doing this whole damn time imho.

Guess trying to make the platform better via the community is only my own stupid wish. I get the hint...

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

- Conversations Inbox Widget (won't load to desktop)
- Conversations don't seem to be saving
- Dataplan Monitor Widget doesn't seem to be calling on any data. Suspects the 2 new monitors under (settings->phone) are cause.

Everything else works for me. Haven't messed with it too much though, other than need a hard media library reset which is understandable with firmware updates.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Yea let's delay 1.2 some more so we can hunt for trivial bugs that might be fixed already... Sounds like a good plan to me!

They should just release it if the HK version is already out with 1.2

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Can anybody pinpoint when they said it would absolutely be released?

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

Flashing to the future P1.2RC, will it be necessary to uninstall menu altering apps like Catorise or the apps that add to the status menu?

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

When I flashed mine, I didn't uninstall any apps. Catorize was installed previously, but now its not there and has not affected the new menu system as far as I can tell.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

If you seriously don't understand how
"HA i just KNEW this would happen knowing the Chinese as i do"

is a racist remark we don't have a lot of common ground.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Agreed with your point

While I understand those who did not flash the leaked firmware and gloat over those who did and faced problems, I still feel that the name-calling or humiliating part in this thread is a bit uncalled for, childish at best.

No offense intended though. I'd rather see this thread developing into everyone trying to help those who are facing issues. And those who faced issues shared their experiences and warn the rest on the dangers of flashing leaked firmwares.

Isn't that makes a better forum atmosphere?

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

I flashed it without a freaking problem. everything works great. Browser is far more faster then the previous 1.1.1 version. all options work like a charm. most bugs i know of have been fixed. im on version 10.2010.12-9

I also got 2 sms messages from nokia after the new introduction screen. you guys had that too?

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

psswitcher(Phone Speakers Switcher) in extras-devel is having some issues with this leaked PR1.2. Can anyone confirm this plz..

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

Catorise works fine.

USSD Widget doesn't seem to want to show up on the desktop though.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

sounds like you just got tracked....

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

My device just works better after the update as most of the promised fixes and updates are there(24 hours intensive use of pr1.2). No disadvantages so far, and somehow i'm feeling only people with problems (logically) end up here stating the update is unstable. However to my opinion we hear these complaints with every fw-update so far.

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

You don't have to use USSD widget anymore... You can dial from the phone now...

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

no one knows where rtcom-eventlogger is located??

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

Everything is working for me except the conversations inbox widget.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

I think that these so called 'SMS' have been embedded into the installation file......like when installing Windows and receiving an e-mail from Microsoft on opening Outlook Express, before even setting up an account. So not tracking! It would be pretty impossible for Nokia to know your phone number straight away :)

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Ive been using my n900 with the new beta firmware for 24 hours HEAVILY (Web browsing and Internet) I also re overclocked it to 900 mhZ

1: the web browser has crashed 5 times with an internal error warning
----Has not happened once for me
2: the web browser has frozen twice and i had to take the battery out
----Has not happened once for me
3: the web browser sometimes loaded with just the address bar and no other buttons like full screen and back
----Has not happened once for me
4: hildon-home has stopped responding twice ----Has not happened once for me
5: my battery went from 44% to 5% then back to 30% for example a few times really fast
----Has not happened once for me
6: plugging the n900 in for a charge sometimes didn't charge and needed a restart
----Only happens when I use a cheap charger and has not happened once with regular charger.
7: the media widget still has the play bug where it doesn't work
----When i click play, It plays and works perfect
8: i got the portrait mode bug once
----Havent got it once, and love browsing in Portrait mode in browser.

edit:
10: my phone and coversation apps stopped recording call and conversation history. had to restore again
----Has not happened to me

Edit: late to work today
11: Woke up to my phone alarm not going off? it had the alarm time on the screen with snooze and stop but no alarm. will be going back to PR1.1.1 first thing when I get home. :D
----Ill test this tonight! But get a real alarm clock lol :P

Lol this firmware has been like heaven for me... Its perfect...except for the Opengl thing. Ive been listening to pandora for 2 hours now too (Currently am atm)... All apps i use and need work perfect except brain party! I need my brain Party OMGGGGZ

Also I took my old MCE.ini file and put it in my "new" n900 and it works flawlessly with purple and "police" style light styles.Also fades before it locks :)

Wont be going back to any other firmware!

Edit: No i didnt get any SMS's from nokia after install... I did however try unsuscribing from "My Nokia" to see what it would so and i got an "Unsuscribe failed" message (Prolly cuz the service isnt ready)

Edit2: To everyone having problems... Flash again!

Edit3: Just added screenshots on my Blog... its in my signature!

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

rtcom-evenlogger can be accessed through X-terminal...

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

Confirmed: deleting files in rtcom-eventlogger fixes conversations bug. Maybe caused by the updates in the changelog?

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

how do you go about doing that?

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

I knew there would be risks before flashing, but what the hell.. xD
the improvements in speed and responsiveness make me more impatient for the final version.

But I haven't had most the the problems mentioned above and i'm a pretty heavy phone user.

either ways I'm happy xD

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Thats the nice thing of open source you may download everything and install it on your device!

I hear people about chinese version. my PR1.2 is not chinese! i dont even have an option to set it to chinese language only Euro. so there must me more versions of the PR1.2 flying around on the internet.

People who have trouble, can you confirm that you guys have the 12-19 version? do you have the option of chinese language support? If so that could be the problem.

@ossipena, I had a welcome message and they thanked me for buying a n900. LOL. If they cut me off im gonna sue them. Its open source i can install anything i like on this thing!

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

ye i dont see the need for name calling. i knew the risk of flashing just as well as i know the risk of over overclocking and using alpha beta software.

but i dont care. i have fun with my device. lots to learn. i like testing and pushing the limits. why else would u buy a full open source device???? if ur not planning to join in the testing and dev you might aswell buy a iphone. would u also like me to wash your cloths??

being very involved with the development of the device is fun and feels like part of a community

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

anybody? anybody?

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Its fun isn't it? i love trying new stuff on this thing! And nokia just takes to damn long to release this 1.2 version no wonder that one day it would happen that this version was leaked.

And 1.2 isn't even that great! If you look at the user friendly interface of symbian then you will notice that maemo hasnt even half of the options.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

no comment. but thats why im dusting up my old programming skills. if it dont have it. code it

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

I had the same problem. its a broken backup file! I installed an older backup and everything worked. \

BY THE WAY!! it has absolutely nothing to do with PR1.2 because i had this problem with both 1.1.1. before i installed 1.2 and still had the problem with the new 1.2 release.

Try an older backup and you will see it is working great! if you dont have an older backup... well... then your screwd...

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

+1 =d
.........

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

those probably are sent locally from your phone as mentioned above.

let me get things straight.

• you downloaded a pirated firmware
• installed it
• sue nokia because something is somewhere open source

you just saved my monday :D

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

I'm by no means a expert, and I take no responsibility if you damage your device.

Open X-terminal
Type "cd .rtcom-eventlogger" <- this changes the directory you are in.
Type "ls" <- lists files in current directory
At this point you should see a bunch of names looking like el-v1.db, el-v1.db-journal, ect ect...
Use "rm" command to delete files. example: "rm el-v1.db" rinse and repeat.
I did not delete the plugins folder, and it seems to work without doing that.

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

Well thats great Mohammad... but how the hell are you going to do that??? After the reflash is finished the n900 boots up automatically. only thing you can do is removing the battery very fast after the reflash. By the way you an easily boot up the n900 shut it down again and then flash the eMMC. there are no problems with that.

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

i had the same problem.

JUST RESTORE YOUR DEVICE FROM THE BACKUP

all you need to do is restore your communition from your backup.
you backed up right??

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

LOL no im not gonna sue them... hehehe i know perfectly what im doing and the risks that i take. But i cant seem to reproduce some problems i read on these forums from other users that have the PR1.2 release. Just everything is working great.

Well i dont like the kinetic scrolling of the menu anymore its choppy and doesnt react the same way as the 1.1.1 version. but aside from that everything works smoother and faster

Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

Self accountability mates. We're all born with that burden, like it or not.

Re: Conversations broken by leaked PR1.2: doesn't save SMS, IM, call history
 

backed up everthing but communication lol smh. im up for trial and error but which exactly did you delete?

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

All the files as qouted by zombiepig

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

to be honest though. today is day two and i have had not had one issue yet??????????? these issues could come about yesterday with low battery. ill test again tonight.
