Remember: it's very difficult to 100% brick your device because of the simple fact that the boot ROM (not erasable) will look for a boot sector on internal or external SD depending on key press, and boot from there. So if internal SD is totally hosed, you can still boot with a external SD with a bootloader and such on it.
After the 1001 time did my machine go to orange mode (install) i did a reset holding function key got red light - holding down function key plug in charger - succes at last...
But a still have a problem - after shutdown (sudo halt) the power button only give me a red light and i have to use the charger to startup mer 0.14 ver2 (okey it could be that my battery is really low) Is there a battery indicator in mer?
I'm a previous N800 owner looking to purchase a internet tablet/entertainment device again. And I wanted to get some input from some Q 5 - Q 7 owners on their experience with these devices.
I'm looking for a tablet that will allow me to watch movies, listen to music, browse the web, read a book, some minor games like solitaire or bejeweled clones etc. I'd like to use Mer on it if possible for the optimized tablet setup. It will probably be a month or two before I purchase.
My reason for not considering the N800 - N810 again is that I wasn't impressed with the 800 in regards to performance. And something will just a little more power would fit the bill nicely. Ideally I'd like the Q 7, but so far from what I've read here Mer doesn't seem quite ready for the device.
Also, I would like some feedback on video capacities. I've seen some videos that show the devices having a hard time reading video files. Is this kinda fixed with "official" firmware update (using Canola) or with Mer ?
