New To N900 - Advice Needed
 

Hi everyone,

My big day arrived yesterday when Nokia sent me a Nokia N900 (free) long story.

Anyway Im hoping that someone can help me, save me having to search the forum, as these questions should be easy for you experts.

1) Firstly, gmail was working last night in my home Wifi, now im in work, i have added the wep key etc and no errors but gmail wont fetch new emails ? Any ideas, not getting any errors.

2) Facebook integrated chat, now that Facebook is actually integrated into contacts, I have tried to add my facebook details so that i can chat, i.e. myname@chat.facebook.com but nothing works, invalid user name or password no matter what i try, any ideas ?

3) Does Ovi suite support N900 yet, keeps saying no ?

4) Can I get an app to post and update my facebook and twitter status from the desktop ?

Thanks, hopefully you can help me searching.

Cheers

Colm

try to setup the new wireless connection from Settings >> Connection >> Add new connection.

www.facebook.com/username should give you your username. If you havent created one the create it.

Ovi Suite support is coming soon.

N900 has the best browser so just bookmark your FB/Twitter page and update :D

No apps for that atm, sorry.

2 check the auto capitialisation. Not tried the integrated facebook chat myself but a lot of the time when i have had authentication errors is been because the first letter auto capitalises.

3 not yet.

4 there are apps available in extras. facebrick is good for facebook. dont use twitter but have seen a few apps around.

E. the facebrick app and twitter ones are in the evil repos.

Witter and Tweego are the apps i know of apart from the web based Mauku.

This is what i have done, so i now have two work Wifi spots, both working as i can view the web with them.

But i can see two unread emails on my PC gmail but they wont come down to the phone even manually hitting send/receive

Its very strange.

I think that, regarding GMail, you will need to upgrade to the 1.2 release of the firmware that is released today. Or will be released sometime today.

Colm.Smith, I would really advice you to read about the new update BEFORE customising your phone. It will save you a lot of time deciding wheter or not to go for the new update.

I have my N900 since januari and I will go for the new update, even erasing the eMMC so I get a "factory-reset" with version 1.2 on it.

IMPORTANT: backup all your data before doing like me, including your MyDocs!

In the release comments of the 1.2 firmware it says "fixed a lot of bugs", so that's why I decided to go for it. Also, there's a lot of new features and GMail is mentioned in those.

Hi there,

Thanks for the advice, im hoping this update appears soon for me, i have nothing on the phone at all so not worried about it resetting or loosing anything.

Any ideas when 1.2 will be available in Ireland ?

Cheers
