Hello everyone.

Skype: Contacts and Log screens are and stay black, dial screen ok.

Opera: No secure connections, so no installs from maemo.org! (w/ SSL2 enabled)

These are my problems, maybe somebody 'shares' :-/

greets.

EDIT: Found the https issue thread (mistyped in search, sorry)... But still not better with time settings, forwarding enabled.

There was any earlier post that gpesummary .60 worked OK. I installed it (,60), and it works fine.

It appears that the mail program is not automatically retrieving my messages. I even sent myself a test message. Not a peep from mail. I don't want to use claws mail for everything.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

So,

pb with opening such websites as ITT website and and youtube disappeared. Mysteriously.

I don't get it.

Problem: Evince no longer recognizes .cbr files. I tried updating mime-database as described here, but what worked a week ago doesn't work with the new upgrade. :confused: Unrar & unzip are installed. Can someone help?

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

I use a secure site to connect to wireless in downtown toronto my device can hardly retain a connection and when I am trying to download anything I am getting error after error.

Minimo now crashes again when I try to download anything. I was not able to view the live earth concert and videos are still not displaying on CNN

Can't install the Vista theme as stated previously and have had many other issues I just can't be bothered mentioning

Who in the hell do you hire Nokia for beta testing, how big is your team of testers? Like 1? or what? Is this a Joke release? it's not April fools day

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Can you please give a direct link...I must be a dope, because I can not find the deb file.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Problem: The memory card corruption issue is still there! (happened to me today... :mad: )

Fix: ??? Might try the SDHC kernel patch that worked good for me with last firmware? Anyone know if it is compatible with this OS?

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Could someone please help me or blog or list the steps on how to flash my N800. I really want to go back to the previous OS. I am begging for help here. I have an n800 that is useless because of the new firmware update.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

If you go to this page:

http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N800.php

when prompted, enter your WLAN mac address - you can find it on the sticker beneath the battery cover, enter it without columns eg. 00194f9e8f7e

Download RX-34_2007SE_3.2007.10-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin.

I assume you are using Windows, so start the Nokia Update wizard and switch off your N800 then connect it to your PC using the USB cable. Next, power on the N800 *while holding the Home key*. When the N800 is detected by the wizard, click "Next" then press the "Change..." button and browse to the firmware you downloaded above (v3.2007.10-8).

Follow the rest of the Wizard instructions and your N800 will eventually reboot with the previous firmware. You will lose all data and applications, which will need to be reinstalled etc.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Upgraded yesterday, followed thru with some app installs today.

With regards the python install and problems with installing direct from the install link @ http://maemo.org/downloads/product/python

I also received a message indicating missing files/components during the install from the above url.

So I followed thru to the home page for pymaemo installed the base repos and then followed that up with the python 2.5 installer and all installed well.

Direct URL: http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/installation.html

Hope this helps

Greetings:

I don't know about you people but I think the joke is on us, the N800 users.

The new firmware is out and we the users are doing all the quality control for the programers.
We the users are finding out all the bugs for them.

Hey the guy from Toronto(Howdee neighbour, I'm from Montreal) is right,
did the company beta test this new firmware or not?

Well looks like its being tested now by users who paid money.

I'm sure things will be fixed by the end of this week.

On the bright side, hey I think Nokia will win a Oscar this year, in two movies
this week nokia phones were the stars in movies, Transformers, and Live Free, or Buy a Nokia, Oops sorry that next year's movie.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone

And this is different from Microsoft, Apple and Linux how?

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Seriously, the new firmware is working very well. Even the RSS reader seem to work correctly now, i.e. it seems like it doesn't drop unread entries when automatically refreshing. Battery life is getting close to what I'm seeing with the 770, with similar usage the 770 lasted for about 3 days while the n800 needed to be recharged at least once a day.

I had some issues with https, but toggling the sslv2 on and off and rebooting a couple of times seems to have fixed it. Probably restoring from backups messed up the opera configuration. I didn't have any textentry or scrollbar issues, probably because I never changed away from the default theme.

I think most problems that are being reported result from restoring old (and possibly incompatible) configuration entries from a backup that was made with the older OS installed. Maybe backup should record the OS release somewhere and restore should only restore a safe subset after an upgrade (list of repositories, documents and media files).

The only problem I've encountered is that when I select a link that opens a new browser window it actually seems to open 2 new windows that load the same link, but I think I had the same thing with all previous releases.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

TO THOSE PLEASE DO NOT HIGH JACK THIS THREAD FLAMES AND PERSONAL ISSUES TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread is to list problems and fixes with the new firmware.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Still does it for me (unfortunately) :( For example, I have 1 article in my engadget feed, and I'm pretty certain there is more than 1 article in the engadget feed on the engadget web site! :)

Please vote for bug #953 if you haven't already done so! :)

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Okay here i go......
Everything seems perfect except for....
1. The big thumb pad doesn't at all come when i touch the screen. And yes i have fiddled with the settings in the control panel..... but it just refuses to come up.
2. opEra is just crashing frequently ..... it says web internal error.
3. i Still cant download videos from rapidshare.....not that i could do on the previous version ! IF ANY ONE HAS A WORKAROUND FOR DOWNLOADING VIDEOS FROM RAPIDSHARE...... pleasE tell me. I used to download videos from megaupload previously ..... but i Cannot seem to get it working . the download button is not clickable .....
4. sometimes the backlight doesn't stop at all irrespective of the settings. and i am still frustrated with this sudden automatic caps lock bug.
that's all for now.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

I am noticing significant drop in download speeds. Is it only me. Can any one confirm this. i Think it may have to do with the new way of sending packets to reduce battery consumption . say What???

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

mmm, i actually have the opposite - my ssh and scp connections no longer time out as easily and when i run top on ssh, it seems to refresh faster than before

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

This morning I've got one of the infamous reboot loops. More details at my Maemopeople blog.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Anybody experiencing terrible browsing? I have to connect (load a URL) several times to actually see the browser start loading the page. Usually it stays at Connecting...
Doesn't happen with all the sites, though. Is there a way to reset Opera settings to the new OS's default?

Do i have to wait until everybody has installed their N800 before i can use the repositories again? Or is this also a connectivity problem? My repos don't refresh and any installations from the repos time out on the download part. I install now by downloading to my PC, sending it to the N800 over bluetooth and install from there. Doesn't work always, though (eg. GMail Notifier).

Ton.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

probleme reappeared this morning. Opera on N800 takes ages to load ITT, or does not load at all. Other websites such as www.bbc.co.uk load perfectly. My laptop opens ITT from the same wireless base perfectly.

I suspect a security / encryption conflict between WLAN base (Netgear) and N800/OS Upgrade /OPera.

What s peculiar about ITT site? server capacity?

Does anyone have this problem?

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

No problem here loading the ITT site, it comes up reasonably quick...!

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

THen it must be a local pb. sometimes my base and the ITT website WITH THE NEW FIRMWARE don t like each other :-( . this is frustrating.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Yes, here. With several website among which ITT, Youtube and GMail.

Ton.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Exactly. same websites. But other website do open without pb right?

Can someone shed some light on what is specific about ITT, Youtube, and Gmail?

I note that on BOTH ITT and Gmail there is online app to write (word processing).

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

I would leave you a comment, but your blog is accusing me of being a spammer! I'll leave the comment here instead...

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

I have exactly same problem here. Really annoying. Apparently Nokia ****ed up N800's wlan connection in latest fw update (from changelog: "improvements have been done around the wireless connection"). Youtube, Gmail etc. doesnt work (doesn't resolve or just doesn't load) when i use my own WPA encrypted Zyxel 660h adsl/wlan router connection but they seem to work fine when i connect to my neighbours unencrypted wlan. Hopefully Nokia releases fixed fw very soon.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Alarm clock seems to be toast. "Unable to perform operation."

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Not having any trouble here loading ITT - youtube works fine as well - flash slow but to be expected with certain videos.

I've tried skype and it seems to be working well - audio was a little choppy on my end - was heard perfectly well through the mic - no headset used.


I'm debating whether or not to go all in with skype (pro/unlimited/in) considering at home and work I've wi-fi and have been able to steal from quite a few people here around town.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Update on the browsing experience:

Here at work all goes fine. No problems with any websites. Of course my home network and work network are two completely different infrastructures.

Ton.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

The long awaited N800 update is slowly turning into the 'update from hell'... :mad: Still, I do like the new screenresponsiveness. But that's about it. Let's hope Nokia will do something about it soon, so I don't have to reflash to old firmware.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Install or Update of some programs in the program manager fails with "not found" message.

Reason: In the repository http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo2.0/free/ are no files... The path maybe has changed to http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo3.0/free/binary/

Solution: Look into this path http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo3.0/free/binary/ and install the needed .deb packages directly

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

It is technically almost impossible that WLAn works well on some web site and does not work on some other web site.

It rather seems the problems are in your configuration/router/dns or whatever.

I have zero problems with youtube, ITT, google etc. It just works as before, not slower and not faster.

I suggest to reflash the device, and do not install any backup or other software and then do your browsing tests.

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

Since the firmware update I cant get devicecape to install. During the install it comes up with Cannot install Devicescape dialogue box - no clues as to the reason.

Have tried it with two N800's - tried it on a third with old firmware and there is no problem.

Anybody else with the same problem? I have notified Devicescape.

thanks

Owen

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes
 

That's been suggested already a couple of times. Done that. Doesn't solve the problem.

Greetings:

This may be offtopic, pardon me if it is.

I would like to know what happens now that many of us have firmware problems?

Do we wait for Nokia to release a new firmware?

Its been two days for me and the only thing that works on my N800 is Skype.
