My clock was OK till I set the home city from the default (London) to my home city (New York). Now it is 3 hours off. If I set back to London, the time remains 3 hours off. It also will not allow the Daylight Saving Zone check box to be checked. I had no trouble with MMC in Control Panel. Perhaps there is a problem for those of you with muliple partitions on your MMC?
I tell you what is incredibly frustrating about this device. I am an average person - a novice with computers. I figure . . . . hmm.... maybe I will try out this new image to see if I can run outlook web access, which does not work on the device now for me.
I poke around this site and there are no instructions that I can understand on how to do whatever I need to do. Why can't someone just make a file that I download and open on my windows pc when connected to my 770 that just does its thing to the 770.
I downloaded the image and the "flasher utlilty" but these appear to be incompatible with windows xp. I am at a loss.
I still occassionally use the 770 to browse the net from my bed, but it is basically a paperweight to me because the opera browser is limited and there is no software that is useful for me at this time.
It is a cool little device that will never succeed unless a dummy like me can at least install the new o/s when released. How about some simple instructions Nokia . . . . GEEZ!!
This was frustrating. Half the time it wouldn't go into USB host mode and when it did, it'd freeze at 10%. I removed the RSMMC card on a hunch and lo and behold the update worked. It's booting now.
Mark S: You need to download the windows flasher. There should be a link to it from the wiki here or on www.maemo.org (Sorry I'm pressed for time and can't find a link). Run the windows flasher and eventually it'll tell you to prepare the 770. Hold down the home button and turn your 770 on and you should see a little USB logo within 5 seconds. Pick the image you want to use (the 58MB file you downloaded (link in the first post here by aflegg)) and it'll reflash.
You can't do it with a standard USB connection because the OS is already booted... kind of like trying to reinstall windows when you're already in it.
Opera browser and its flash plugin does seem to blow chunks...closely followed by the video player. Why didn't they use firefox, thunderbird and mplayer? I suppose they wanted to save the nickle on the extra memory those programs might have needed.
Removing the rs-mmc and changing which usb port I used doesn't help.
Will use Linux later to update the 770 but why should a consumer resort to Linux to update this device?
Why don't they use something lke yum or apt with a GUI interface? It tells you a software update is available with the changes, do you want to update. Instead, it is one big binary which overwrites everything that you have customized.
An update that wipes out all the previous programs, doesn't seem to improve anything much, and frustrate users? Thanks nokia...why don't you give us something tangible. We've been waiting long enough we deserve a little more than that.
The one thing I found positive about the update is that I'm able to select multiple files. Only if you start with an unhighlighted file. I'm now able to add multiple mp3s to the audio player by dragging the files. It was a pain adding one by one before.
