So you yell for unstable apps and installed them, and now you complain that your device is unstable.

Hmm.

Did you think about your actions before blaming Nokia for something that you did yourself?

(Plus your exclamation mark and question mark keys seem to be broken as they are printed four resp. five times in the subject line though you probably just pressed them once...)

The device isn't "UNSTABLE" ??? . . . . It was PERFECTLY stable BEFORE I reflashed the new update and it is PERFECTLY STABLE NOW!!!!


Nokia did this on purpose . . . . Now way adding additional sources to your app list MAGICALLY makes an update button disappear.


Come on . . . . they track your device if you install "ALTERNATIVE" apps so they can void your warranty!

NOT COOL


PS - I like exclamation marks

@mrebanza: Hmm you need to read up more about what you install. The confirmation message pop ups and 3rd party install confirmations are there for a reason.

IMHO you're a little out of your depth here.

yes, your device might have been stable. but the software you installed came with a warning that it could make your device unstable or cause problems later.

Yes, I know that the 3rd party Application Warranty Voiding confirmation messages are their and most likely their for a reason . . . but that does not mean that its a "BUG" or a "GLITCH" from a 3rd party App that caused the firmware update button to disappear?

Nonetheless, it is true that (a) if any users were to restrict themselves to never using programs out of those repositories, they would have tablets with unacceptable limitations for many users, (b) it is known that many of the programs in those repositories are perfectly safe, and (c) it is known that many Nokia-approved programs are not particularly safe.

So I happily ignore the Nokia restrictions, but I also happily reflash when necessary

actually it does. 3rd party app can break depencencies and that causes the disappearance of the button.

I'm impressed. And I thought that *I* was paranoid. :-P

Pleae provide the ethereal dump that shows your MAC ID being send to Nokia everytime you install some 3rd party stuff.
Oh wait, those evil-doers probably even encrypted it, darn!!!!
Cunning. Veeeery cunning.
