I don't think the bluetooth and network icons should be combined - I (sometimes) use a bluetooth keyboard, and that's independent of whether I am connected to a wifi network.

I would like to see the bluetooth icon grey out when it's disabled though, rather than disppear completely.

And related to that, it would be nice if the icon bar at the top could grow if it had more icons in than normal - with the statusbarclock and the load-applet, it overflows to a drop down arrow. It should grow to the left (within reason)

stange, I allready had that, but with bora, no luck with gaim.
or not with mistral even...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Has anyone managed to get the camera app working? I've downloaded the camera.install file, but it doesn't seem to be able to find the package. It should be in the standard Nokia repo, but it's not there...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Yes I did. Installed it via application manager after I updated the manager. Found camera under "All" .

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

..bingo. ;)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

I am still undiced it.... I am going to wait until fanoush release a working boot for the new kernel...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Hmm - I've refreshed App Mgr, rebooted, refreshed again, disabled all other repos except the official Nokia ones... still no joy! Any ideas?

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

I installed the camera app, but not with the "clean" repositories, cause I backed up my sources.list via the backup manager. No problems installing it, but problems using it. If you have trouble installing it, just forget it, it's not worth loosing much time. I started the app, clicked on the "take photo" icon -> 1 Minute(!!) , a completely locked down device (by that time) and me praying to God(or Linux-God-Admin, whatever you call him) later and the picture was taken :D Then on the picture, I wasn't been able to distinguish whether this mysterious blotch is my nose or maybe my ear... maybe that was just my head? Nevertheless, my head is not that much undefined in realitiy ;)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

So you do not see camera listed under All?

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Eventually I did - but only after I re-enabled the non-Nokia repos, for some reason. Installed fine - but everything's very orange! It takes maybe 2-3 seconds to to take a photo - can't see much use except for quick blogging etc.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Yes need a lot of light. Took a shot in daylight looks ok.
I would call this beta. :)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Works fine for me. At least as good as the applet that was available as 'knips'.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

I updated to the new OS late last night and I found that the whole thing is more responsive. After resintalling some apps I saw most visible improvement in Gaim. Previously Gaim was unacceptably slow on my N800, so slow that inputing text would be causing severe delays. After the update I tried using MSN and Yahoo in Gaim and switching back and forth between Gaim and browser, RSS reader, etc. and it's A LOT faster. No delay in text input any more. For me Gaim is usable now!

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

@Keyser.Soze:
then I am not the only one who is wondering if this little thing is running faster, now. For me, it "feels" a bit snappier with new firmware ...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Actually I think your "a bit snappier" is a bit of an understatement. :)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

I am just cautious and not quite optimistic when it comes to programming and software :D

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Snappier was my first impression too. It may be because of a fresh install though so time will tell... M/Mapper, for instance seemed to load much faster.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

problem solved

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Hmmm....youtube is not that fast as I thought it is. My "Biber Brueder" series is not really enjoyable. MaYbe the guys just couldnt get out more of flash7.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

one little bug...After the upgrade and new boot, it asked if I wanted to restore from a backup it found, I said "yes" and it sat for 15 minutes at the "restoring email messages" progress bar with 0%. I aborted it and it said it had restored over 1000 of 2000-odd files.

Someone needs to look at that progress bar. It's definitely not updating, though the device seems to be making progress.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Email restoring works, but it takes time. After restroring program completes restoring emails it restores other settings etc much faster. Progress bar goes ~5% and then it started to restore others. Email restoring took minutes and everything else under minute or something like that.

I am suprised that mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.11.800 works fine. Just add vo=xv to ~.mplayer/config file. Heroes episode 1 (761 kbps 624x352) plays flawlessy and i didnt see any tearing.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

anyone been able to get mplayer to stream from UPNP servers?

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

When watching YouTube videos I noticed 2 issues with the new bios on n800:

1) seems to have a persistent clicking sound when playing videos

2) if playing flash, it seems slightly faster when i turn the flash quality to low...but otherwise, not much improvements

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

So - when will the awesome person that wrote the SDHC kernel add-on, rewrite it for the new OS? SDHC card owners want to know... =)

BTW- I REALLY appreciate people's work that have made, and will continue to make, the 770/n800 an actual nice product.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

I almost feel like youtube videos played better with the old firmware and quality set to low. Now the few I tried got out of sync and felt generally slower on the low setting.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Canola can now play n770-encode.pl encoded xvid videos with the 'mplayer' quality setting mplayer => { abitrate => 128, vbitrate => 420, width => 400, height => 240, fps => 30 } without stuttering, tearing or any kind of jerkyness.

Seeking forward and backwards, toggling fullscreen, pausing, etc no longer causes second long hangs or dropping out of the movie player.

No more random stopping or loss of sych after 20 minutes either, just watched a full episode of 24 converted from DVD without a single hitch or hickup. Happy.

With the old firmware, that didn't work so well.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Canola seems to crash on podcasts now. MP3s play fine. (Yes, I've rebooted even taking battery out.) Anyone else have this issue?

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Why doesn't Nokia explain what they did in this latest update? At least we can have a better idea of WHY some apps don't work properly...

Right now it's just a lot of guesswork...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

It looks to me that the community created SDHC kernel cant appear until the corresponding maemo SDK is released. I wonder what the time scales are for the SDK release ?

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

There is another "funny" thing which catch my eyes. Now, the "softpoweroff" mode works a little bit different. I changed a line in the /etc/mce/mce.ini file and the when I press the powerbutton long enough the device powers off the screen and blocks all the keys. Compared to pre-10.7 time, I hear a "click" when I press buttons or tap the screen. Actually I can confirm that nowthing is beeing changed "in the background", just the tapping sounds.
It doesn't make sence, because everytime I tap the screen and press a button in "softpoweroff mode" the CPU has to do something (playing a "click" sound) and probably gets out of it's powersaving cycles.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Before this latest firmware, pandora.com which uses Flash 7 loaded just fine and played streaming music. Now the flash app gets stuck trying to load. Any way to revert back to previous firmware?

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Now that can't be good...

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

I like the new OS so far:
- interface seems to respond better
- scrolling long menus is faster
- it is easier to select text in the browser without panning
- can see YouTube videos
- Power + Lock touch screen and keys seems smoother
- scrolling seems easier in the RSS reader (it used to stutter for me)
- and there is the N800 video included rather than just the N93 :)

it feels like the "SP1" version :)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

you should have your pubic hair plucked one by one for that... whats next, patch tuesday requests?

j/k :eek: :p

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

OH no not the "SP1", run Linux run! :D

In Maryland also. :)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

I see a BIG improvement in battery life. All the bugs mentioned are there, but I still see this as a substantially better system now. The new camera, though, froze me both times I used it -- the second time I had to remove the battery to reboot.

Why is there an easy way to check Gmail and not other web mail such as Yahoo Mail? My Yahoo address is so old I want to keep it.

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Kind of a big paradoxon and really nasty abuse in just one sentence ;)
How much did Billy payed you for this? :D

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

tee hee. OK, maybe not the best phrase! Just an old Windows/DOS guy here making my way in the world!
But it does feel like this is the version that should have been released originally :)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

Heh, I am waiting for many years for M$ to release their final OS ;)

Re: New Internet Tablet OS 2007 Update Out
 

wow!! it's a mess!! flash is all over the place, there is a huge sync problem. I was at least listening youtube videos but now it's horrible. I couldnt even stand to watch it. And also I can't install gaim it's giving me the msn plugin error. Any advise?
