Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

(If you are already familiar with debian package administration this post will not be of much use to you.)

Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

VERY IMPORTANT NEWS EVERYONE
YOU DO NOT NEED TO REFLASH

I just hit CTRL+C a couple times and it will kill that script (the one which prints "Installing updates do not interrupt" to the console)...

Re: n900 is dead-failed installing app and cant reboot anymore

Yes, Nokia Data Gathering did it to me too. The MySQL install script was taking more than 20 minutes and I had enough. I didn't realize it would jam up the boot process if I turned it off. I am...

Re: [Release] Mer/M5 Theme - Marina.

Love the theme, especially the new lock screen.

But when I upgraded to 1.206 and rebooted, the phone had switched back to the default theme. When I tried to open the theme switcher to switch back...

Re: python - ctypes - gps

Once per second is a hardware limitation. Most GPS chips, until recently, only compute the position once per second. Chips which produce more readings per second are available, but would be bad in a...

Re: angry birds level number

What were they asking for US users? It seemed to be 3 {local currency}, which is odd, after all 3$ != 3GBP != 3EUR. Surprisingly naive of them -- whoever "them" is -- to put a paid level pack in the...

Re: N900 is made for TRUE MEN!!

When I got my n900 I was pleasantly suprised at how small it was. My coworkers with winmo phones which have keyboards have true bricks. As someone with electronics design experience I can appreciate...

Re: PR1.1 MicroB Easter egg? Portrait mode browsing!

Did anyone find a way to go back a page without going back to landscape? The cursor gesture works (slide in from the left) but the back gesture (slide in from right) doesn't. I can see that the...

Re: Bluetooth Headset Problems

Nokia BH-905. Lots of skipping and glitching. The worst part is either the bluetooth stack or gstreamer tries to "catch up" by playing slightly faster, which makes the pitch go all wacky, which is...

Re: CNET: The $199 tablet according to Freescale

In the photos the OS looks kinda like Moblin. Maybe they mean "Android or Moblin". It doesn't matter, the OEM will define the OS, not freescale. And even more importantly "reference" design is much...

Re: 2.5G Browsing

EDGE on the n900 is totally tolerable. I've been downloading packages ("apps") and browsing sites. AJAX heavy sites like Facebook suck on EDGE though. It might be noted that I was using it...

Re: n900 Charging Cradle

If you physically dock for charging (i.e. not a powermat) then you might as well connect the data pins, there are only two after all. I was thinking about just putting a standard (full size) B...

Re: n900 Charging Cradle

I was looking into this, and no there aren't any yet. But building one would not be very difficult. The most critical part is a USB micro-B designed for docking (no locking clips). Hirose makes one,...
