I had to break out the winblows box to update. Both my mac and linux machines failed to run the update. Also it looks like the cool vista theme doesn't work. I miss the smaller font size already. Oh yea, 1:24am AKST. :rolleyes:

Oh and you're welcome to try to slashdot, digg, Engadget/Gizmodo that post or this thread. Worth it to get the Skype/N800 exposure out there.

Still not checked browser problems (since I am at work, as told), only noticed that Adria messed up the side scrollbar.

I have problems installing my old apps, though, as I explained in another thread, and I too i noticed that the thumboard switcher appears to be less sensitive

I am really disappointed that there is no A2DP support or support yet for PAN bluetooth connections. 3G devices that offer up DUN are getting increasingly rare. While Flash 9 is a nice addition (I could care less about mobile Youtube, I use my N800 for serious stuff), Opera seems even flakier then ever.

Well, ok, did not get the problem you were talking about.

Same problem here, then.

It is - when I go to open skype it actually opens the application manager to download it. I am not online (with the n800), so I don't have Skype yet. Unless something is really screwed up on my install...

Re: Breaking News!
 
can anyone say if there's bluetooth pan or a2dp?

blackax 2007-07-06 09:49

Re: Breaking News!
 
No sadly there is not :-(

Rocketman 2007-07-06 09:51

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 
Oh, the new flash seems pretty unstable. Several of my bookmarked sites now cause OPera to exit after partially loading the page and spits out the error message "Internal error. Application 'Web' closed."

If I disable the flash plugin, I am able to browse the affected sites just fine. For an example, goto www.escapepod.org
Wait for the page to load and then try scrolling down the page and/or going in and out of fullscreen.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

jortiz 2007-07-06 09:52

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 
havent updated yet, but still no pan or a2dp? on a multimedia tool that advertises blutooth connectivity...very sad indeed, sad!

Re: Breaking News!
 
What I did was download the .bin file to my desktop and update. Ofcourse I took a backup first. Nokia updated pretty fast, and booted. Then it told me that it had found an back up and asked if it could be used. I said yeah and it booted after restore.

Ok, now I get bunch of errors when updating software list. The log says it can't connect to nokia repository. Then nothing. What gives.

Re: Breaking News!
 
im still not getting skype to download, its really winding me up now!!!!!!!

Actually I do have a complaint.
Maybe it's me... but..when you are in between a call.. how to text chat with others ?!?!?
I see the notice people are writing me, but I can't see any means to switch to the text window to reply to them.

BTW: no video support for Skype. Yet. (I hope).

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 
Screen is more responsive. Skype is there ;)

- Browser is crashing on some flash sites
- no addon theme is installable anymore
- canola can't install
- statusbar monitor doesn't work
- statusbar clock doesn't work
- white themebackground error still there

O dear... I hope the themes work soon, I really hate the default ones.

Mahaloha 2007-07-06 10:47

Re: Breaking News!
 
I just installed the new firmware with success and I'm loving it. Screen is very responsive and I really like Skype and Flash 9 support.

TabulaRasa 2007-07-06 10:50

Re: Breaking News!
 
Is there a way to make the thumboard activate? While Skype is nice, I need to be able to type emails on this thing without a stylus. I got the thumboard to pop up only once. I am trying to press as "thumby" as possible, but i still get the stylus keyboard.

geneven 2007-07-06 10:55

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 
Youtube seems markedly better. Before, I couldn't get to much of my cable company's site, roadrunner, because I got a message saying I needed Flash 9. Now there's no warning, Opera just crashes.

So far my impression is a small improvement, but not much. It leaves me in a cranky state of mind.

Re: Breaking News!
 
Greetings:


I had backup my data on a card, but now when I try to restore it does not see the file.

Also I'm trying to download Skype it keeps blocking.

So everyone get off the servers of Skype.(just Kidding)

It will be a great task to reinstall all my programs back on my N800.

Regards Robert

thoughtfix mentioned that you can set the sensitivity of the touch screen in the control panel. That should solve your problem.

I get a "Canola cannot install" error.
Maybe I installed something that the Canola install doesn't like. Maybe Python, I'll check.

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 
Canola worked fine for me too.

Press the centre D pad button to activate the thumb board once the virtual keyboard shows up.

As for me, I don't seem to have the Orb login problem mentioned. The login form shows up, but when the virtual kb pops up, the flags (for different languages overlaps some of the text fields).

Opera crashed once on me.

Is it me or does the bluetooth icon at the top bar disappears again after a reboot? I hope the old problem isn't coming back!

Same for me. Just open the App manager, then choose to install skype-ui and there you go!

Did NOKIA improve the OnScreenKeyboard ?
I am missing CTRL, ALT modifiers on mine.

Anybody tried the fanoush boot-menu-initfs with the new OS ?

Thank you.

Wooooooooooooooo! You Know I Have No Fcuking Idea What Has Improved In The New Firmware, But Whatever.


Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo.

I have two clocks on my status bar, so they seem to be working :)

CliffOn 2007-07-06 11:35

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 
actually I'm real disappointed, no BT hi fi audio or support for a BT earpiece which would have enabled skype to have marginal value, but, I ain't walking around with the worthless headset that's wired that nokia provided.
youtube, who cares? it's nice if yer bored I guess.
a REAL open SIP app wold have been useful.
I don't see anything with this update.

jnash 2007-07-06 11:35

Re: Breaking News!
 
is there anywhere else i can get skype from!

konttori 2007-07-06 12:05

Re: NEW UPDATE OUT!!!! Your thoughts on it..
 
Indeed, it's very odd that not even mono headsets are supported. I would have guessed tha nokia would have supported nokia BT headsets (mono ones) just to get skype work really well. Well, can't have it all. At least we god skype, which is a great thing!
