Was a pain in the butt to free up the ~40 MB of rootfs necessary to do the package install (uninstalled everything from extras-testing/devel and still needed to resort to symlink magic to make it go), but ...
It works! Having a back button in browser portrait mode is great, finally frees up the "long press" of the camera softkey for bigger and better things.
I did find a minor regression -- doing ctrl+backspace (via shortcutd) when in browser portrait bounces you back to the desktop rather than the application dashboard. ..it's not the end of the world, I can press the button again.
Not enough space in your rootfs, you will have to clear around 57/58mb to do it OTA, otherwise you will need to feflash either with NSU, or Flasher3.5.
I managed to do a OTA update with about 40mb free. I suspect, as others have reported, that the apps you have installed have as much to do with the success of the update as the free space.
In terms of the actual update, I've so far encountered no bugs and the performance of some apps (particularly the browser & email) seems significantly better.
hmm i was downloading OTA and it reached 99% till it says Maemo 5 download failed! i rebooted my phone and went to download again and it only downloaded like 48kb and said somethin a fast message i duno if there was a word failed in it, but automatically after that my phone is getting updated right now , did any1 have the same experience ?
It was tuxrace that prefented my OTA update. After deinstalling it was no problem.
I am using the preinstalled 'Digital Nature' Theme, and realized that there are some bugs now under 1.2 (was not there before). sometimes the menue bar (e.g. when updating catalogues or in the calendar) shows some blue dots and there is some mistakes in rendering the background. The lock screen suddenly is blue behind the slider. I tried to install other themes and reinstalled it, same effect. Also realized that changing the default themes does not change the background anymore (I believe that was the cas in 1.1).
**** mine doesnt update. It says it needs Nokia PC Suite. And that sucks. Windows sucks and Nokia PC suite sucks as well. But after a lot of hard work I got into the update program and started the update. I agreed that I was aware of the chance of losing all my files and had made a back-up(wich I didnt, cuz the ****ing Back-up software of *****ing Nokia PC Suite doesnt work). So it started to download, but after a lil minute or so it tells me 'downloading of the software failed'.
''Nokia updater tried to update the software, but failed for at least 4 times. Perhaps this is because of a bad, slow or instable internet connection, but this failure might also occur because problems with our servers.''
And above that it tells my that 'for an optimal connection i'd better connect directly, not via a USB-hub or keyboard with dock.'
But its connected just straight up to the computer(although it is going via mac trough paralells desktop to windows).
I tried updating again for about 10 times now but still the same story
I hope this story is clear, but can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me, because I realy need this update.
thx alot in advance.
still the same problem..What is wrong????
OTA doesnt work as it says to connect to NSU(I deleted the recommended packages) and I just dont want to flash it. How mad is it that nokia cant even support a good update without having to **** with ur phone. Heard that flashing comes with shorter battery and a hot device...
Right, UK OTA updated without any issues. I can really see no differences as a user... as a developer yes it's nice to have updated libraries and qt but... really not much to see?
