Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!

Installing the deb worked just fine the first time through (I cloned an OS2007). Booted from the internal 1GB SD card works fine and things seem a bit snappier.

I am having one problem. Every time...

Re: External battery pack for N8x0/770.

I had the brightness set at exactly half, which is what I usually use. It seems plenty bright enough for me. The audio was 5 steps down from max. I didn't want to hear that Superman cartoon for...

There is one: http://www.unmht.org/unmht/en_index.html

Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!

I had done this previously with the manual instructions, but had to reflash and messed things up, so I will try this method.

I have an 8GB card and a couple of 1GB cards. I will use a 1GB card as...

Re: External battery pack for N8x0/770.

Re: New port : TiEmu 2 (Screen rotation or real keyboard requiered)

Can a version be compiled for OS2007? There are a lot of us still using this version and the TI calculator would be very useful.

I tried OS2008, but had so much trouble with multiple key presses...

Re: Virtual keyboard layout change/mod?

I noticed that the standard OSK layout shows a little, thin key to the left of the spacebar that I can tap on. Is this a valid key? Can I assign CTRL to this key, so I don't have to use the sidebar...

Re: New port : TiEmu 2 (Screen rotation or real keyboard requiered)

Does this not work on OS2007? I just tried installing from the "Install Now" link and Application Manager tells me that it is "incompatible".

Re: HOW TO: Simplest and Complete Cloning of OS to MMC; Dual-Booting

I thought I would lose the dual-boot capability if I re-flashed. I was correct. Re-doing the steps you suggested put the dual-boot back.

Now I can play with OS2008 a bit more. I had installed it...

Re: HOW TO: Simplest and Complete Cloning of OS to MMC; Dual-Booting

OK, I got my N800 booting OS2008 from either flash or a 1GB SD card. Now, this may be a stupid question, but how do I now install OS2007 without overwriting everything I just did? I would prefer...

Re: For Sale N800

I just flashed it to the new, SDHC bug-fixed update. I didn't mention that my asking price includes shipping in the continental US. Extra shipping to elsewhere.

Re: test your sd card read speeds on n800

I have the official SDHC firmware. Like others, I am getting about 5.5MB/S buffered read speeds on both internal and external slots. The internal card is an older SanDisk 1GB SD. The external is the...

Re: Kensington USB Power Tips for Nokia

What does the "booster" do? A USB port puts out 5VDC @ 0.5A (max). The Nokia needs 5VDC to charge. So, what's being boosted? No matter what you do, you're not going to get more than 0.5A out of a USB...

Re: Ebooks question

I don't think that Amber will strip the DRM, however. I tried Amber for a few conversions and although it does support quite a few conversions, the HTML output in particular is rather bloated. For...

Re: Ebooks question

Yep, when I am forced to buy ebooks with DRM, I always get the LIT format. ConvertLIT (and the GUI add-on) can strip the DRM quite nicely. That way, I can read the LIT ebook on any Windows PC that I...

Re: SDHC cards comparison review

Is that higher clock used for everything or just the SDHC card transfer? If everything, I imagine that would suck more battery power. Other than the clock speed difference, what else is different...

I ran some benchmark tests on my new card. It seems that the card does indeed perform like a Class 6 card on write speeds (6MB/s minimum). Does anyone know what a Class 6 read speed should be?
