There are two versions of Android floating around out there for the tablets.

The first, (name/version unknown) can be installed inside of Maemo.

The second, NITDroid, installs completely independent.

I have to assume he installed the former.

My understanding was the Android install came with its own kernel. If so, I'm guessing you reflashed something after you "uninstalled" Android. At least the kernel. Yes? If not, then if I were you I might do a full BRR.

The thing I installed certainly didn't replace the Maemo OS. I started it from the extras menu, and it didn't appear to do anything at all but sit there with its mountain lake wallpaper and useless menus. The first time I ran it, the machine froze and I had to remove the battery to reboot. I was certain I'd have to reflash, but no. Everything's fine. Just no touchscreen "tick."

I see, thanks. But as with early versions of Easy Debian and some of penguinbait's tools, some uninstall's can't back out everything. I'll take a closer look at the multimediad stuff and I see if I can find what Android might have borked.

Problem solved when I reflashed. Much faster and easier than I thought it would be, and I had only 3 or 4 things to re-install.

Hi,

I've just been bought an N810 as a birthday present. The sound seems to work for a few minutes after a boot, but then fails after a random time, and all sound is lost until the next reboot. This makes the alarm function fairly pointless.
Does this sound like a hardware issue or a soft failure?

Anything simple I can try? I'm not a linux guru.
Running version 5.2008.43-7 according to the "About" screen.

Bought new.

More investigation shows that the alarm function seems to kill off the sound.

You have the latest version of the OS.

Was this N810 purchased new or used?
New. More investigation shows that just *setting* an alarm kills the sound until you reboot.

Latest: looks like sound files are missing. So when it tries to play a file, it then sulks and shuts down the whole sound subsystem until the next reboot. *Smart* design. Not.

Did a total re-install- and it now works fine.
