Funny about those warnings, when we enable and install apps from devel and/or testing, already steps into "may damage your device" territory, Sames goes to flashing to MeeGo terminal version (which is much more unstable), same goes for flashing/dual booting other OS, same goes for over-clocking.
Heck, N900 is so open and powerful, you can easily step into those territory. It's dangerous when novice users do it, but it doesn't mean novice users can't improve. It's through learning, experience, users gain more experience and become more skilled.
Just like flashing, 1st time novice users will be like "Oh gosh!", after they tried and do a few times, they become more experience. If they face problem and tried to find solution, research, and fix it, they gain more experience and skill, also understand more.

N900 is a great device, although it benefits more experienced and skilled users, but it's also a learning device for novice users, and the learning path is long and a lot to learn, which is a good thing. It can make someone from a novice become a very experience and knowledgeable in smartphone.

I'm thankful I've dabbled in *nix before, so I'm not quite as lost as some others might be. I practically salivated at the idea of playing around in xterm, though truthfully, I kinda miss a full-sized keyboard for that... hmm.gif

I did squirm in pleasure a bit when I realized I could run full deb programs though, even though most of them wouldn't even run well outside of LXDE. I mean, it's my dream come true, a computer in me pocket (FINALLY, after the X51v --> 5800 --> N97 mini)! Shame about the crapped out USB OTG functionality though.

Might just buy a Mobiadapter mSD --> USB adaptor and hack it to make a USB port later for the N900 lol, if the N900 is still alive by then lar... brows.gif

do u guys know anything about flashing an older version maemo from newer version can cause PROBLEMS!!!  rclxub.gif

3 things mess up today:

1. virtual keyboard not working - cause : after install and uninstall chinese input

2. hardware keyboard not functioning as it should be... - cause : ditto

3. after a reflash, my n900 won't detect my sim card.... - cause : reflash from PR1.2 back to PR1.1

so....more work to do now...

There was a LONG forum thread on Maemo.org about this, the whole "may damage your N900" thing was about this IINM... sweat.gif

There's already a fix for that.You need to flash only the SIM detection function from PR 1.2.The instruction is in maemo talk.

to all PR1.2(leaked) users out there, this is with regards to my n900 camera again lol

so i have downloaded an application called HealthCheck, tested my front camera(so dark, gosh!) as well as back camera. both worked flawlessly. so i was wondering what exactly has happened and why did it go dark whenever i set the ISO manually shown in the youtube posted several pages back.

playing around with the settings again, i found out if i set the Exposure to 0, the camera works fine even with ISO 100,200 and 400. if Exposure is set to higher/lower value, changing the ISO will once again darken the whole screen. i've someone tested with her 1.1.1 everything seems to be fine.

i hope this is just a firmware bug, not a hardware issue else i will be doomed for a warranty. its an AP set. doh.gif

can 1.2 users try it out and update here? pretty please?

Anyway, good news for PlayStation3 owners. tongue.gif Someone ported the' Open Remote Play (ORP)' for Nokia N900. Still in early stage, and needs more improvement, but I guess no need for Sony AINO anymore. laugh.gif
