Notices

I'm using Nokia Messaging (intellisync in the backgroud) service to get my GMail messages pushed to my N900.
It works pretty well.

You only have to create a new account in Modest selecting Nokia Messaging as type, and then give the GMail data.

HTH,
Rafa.

I'm now in CSSU and still have the same looping problem.

Going a little further, I've tested running as-daemon directly from command line terminal, and discovered something: it ends abruptly with a segmentation fault in any case.
- if executed from "user" profile, it cannot connect to dcop, but there isn't any as-daemon process running, and segfault at the end

- if executed as root, it doesn't complain about dcop, but about not finding address book (normal, root doesn't have address book :-) ), and segfault at the end.

- if as-daemon is marked SUID to be executed as user but with root permissions, no error about dcop or abook is printed, but segfault is at the end.

My guess is that loop happens when as-daemon is constantly re-launched after each segfault that isn't recorded in logs.

I'll check with a colleague which MfE is working to see versions, installed packages, etc.
Stay tuned.

Hi,

any progress on this?

I have the exact same thing, but I seem to remember something about having fiddled around with a addressbook sync/thing. Maybe the real problem is something with the addresbook (as stated in the output of as-daemon).

thx,

B.

Hi again,

I can add that the process that is hanging, is e-addressbook-factory. Not sure why,

B.

I'm having the same issue as vikas-1977, I cleared the settings for MfE and tried entering a new server but the settings dialog just sits there. Seems like it contacts Nokia servers before presenting the next configuration page and those server are down. Just speculation though.

Also I tried removing all my contacts and that didn't seem to help.

Rather annoying problem. I still have no solution for it. I do see that "as-daemon -D" is launched, disappears and is launched again creating an infinite loop. It more than likely tries to do something, fails and is called again.

Anyone any idea what other routes to take to get this fixed?

thx !!

B.

Hi, the same problem.

Hi all,

I am also facing the same problem. Please help me.

Thanks & Regards

Sorry to tell you, but if your server requires provisioning, N900 will not be able to deliver as it can not enforce required security features. This is why I ultimately had to part with N900 as a main device.

Thanks Lumiaman..

Could you please go through below link which i posted, may be you can help me.
