How much rootfs free space do you have, if you're doing OTA that is...

You need at least 55MBs, or safer 58MBs free on root.

All hardware have lemon units... Software too... U kena lemon, what to do...

But USB wise, I think it has been fixed, mic problem too... And when you kena a good unit, fall asso no hal...

Mine as been falling naked without a case a coupla times edi = no scratches, no nothing. The N900 is surprisingly gila durable. My N97 mini started to scratch edi after a few falls in comparison, plus the slider is FAR FAR looser after those falls when the N900 is still mostly the same.

Only "defect" is the slider isn't as tight as I would have wanted (from the beginning), but oh well...

Nope, can't help you bro, sorry.

On a side note, anyone notice that pressing the back button now actually goes simply back rather then going to the annoying history window? The placement of the button in just sad, but the functionality is pure win.

If only we can open new tabs in the background now...

That's what I mean, cache-back, or something like that.

Hey, how's your guy's display back cover? The one with ARM Cortex-A8 written on it. Mine crazy calar edi, assumingly from the slider mech.

And WHY no more automatic reflow in MicroB? Did some idiot flag thaat as a bug or something?

For portrait, try Shift+Ctrl+R in an app, if it supports auto rotate, it will once you close the keyboard and rotate your screen to portrait.

Though you havta turn it on every time you go in an app, but at least it's there. Portrait mode in PR1.3 anyone?

I heard the boot brick issue has been addressed with PR1.1-1.1.1? Please verify as I restart daily through fcron to make sure the N900 performs well through the day (though it locks up occasionally anyway and requires a shut down: read below).

Anyhow, I've come to the conclusion that the Hildon apps menu does not like to be edited on the fly anymore. Used to be able to do it easily from xterm in PR1.1.1 but editing .desktop or .menu files now leads to a freeze when saving the files that requires me to longpress power to shut down.

Prolly has to do with the new menu.

Edited menus still work though, mine's back to my original configuration edi.

Same case here, thought it was down for upgrades. I DID play with useragent, but restored the customizations edi. Maybe I should remove the app.

I had to uninstall mine lol, not that I use it that much anyway. Now can't wait for the new apps to hit this afternoon.

Can can, will do a full Titan kernel tut on it as soon as I get back, otw back to KL for wesak hols now.

My setup = 2 QB Widgets (cpu and rootfs) and 3 desktop shortcuts with custom icons. Very shimple, but one touch can go to whatever speed you want to set, all thanks to Titan's new and easy to use kernel-config app.

But nowadays my 750 starving edi enough for most tasks actually,

Still, what aspire said does have it merits, for one my way requires you to be comfy with editing system files, and forever taking the risk of botching up. Though I will provide the needed files to make it more a cut paste job.



A screenie preview, see those three UP DOWN CIRCLE shortcuts (OC, UC and Stock respectively)?

Had widgets for disk and mydocs space too, but I found that too many QBWs lag up the phone and locks desktop up after a while.

Poor people buy mtbs with loans lol... Anyhow, subisting with EDGE on the bus, seems the "upgraded" microb is better in handling low bandwidh connections now.

@acat: How? Pure patience, as I did it manually lol. Been doing it back with Gdesk on the 5800 and samurize on PC asso

Left the world of PAYU ever since I got my 5800, and became a true blue mobilenet junkie with Sialcom. - I needed the unfailable coverage (have been tweeting from jungles before asso as a result). The N900 just makes it worse lol.

@acat: That's a result of many, many, many tries and failures, lol. Where got my fingers accurate, stylus got maa.

Ada STYLUS ada gaya lol...

Anyway, I use the stylus to optiomize placement to ease my fingers. Though I just hate the fact that a long tap on desktop turns it into edit mode.

It's one of the special function keys (fn? shift? ctrl?) plus one of the arrow keys. Forgot the combo....

Just tested, Fn+shift+up/down actually... And I never knew that...

You learn new things every day, the Government should make LYN a part of the national curriculum lol.

Here's the much promised Titan Kernel Tut:

STEP 1: GET TITAN'S KERNEL

1) Enable Extras-Devel repos
2) Search for Enhanced Kernel (currently at version 38)
3) Install the Enhanced Kernel Settings package (it will automatically install the kernel)
4) Say yes to the "are you sure you want to risk borking your N900" question.
5) Restart after installation.

STEP 2: SET OVERCLOCKING

1) Go into xterminal
2) Make sure you have installed the rootsh package
3) As usual, start with "sudo gainroot"

Next:



To show the current config, which should be 250-600mhz, normal stock config. You would wanna save this to stock by typing the below.



You now have the "Stock" profile to return to if everything goes wrong. Now to load profile type:


For a battery saving ULV profile


For a faster, overclocked 500-850mhz profile

Profiles to choose between:
a) ulv - Normal battery saving, normal clock.
b) ideal - Balanced, overclock
c) xlv - More battery saving, underclock.
d) starving - Most battery saving, normal clock.

Also, you can set your OWN clock speeds after choosing a profile by typing:



For instance "kernel-config limits 500 900". This will clock whatever profile you have loaded before to 500mhz lower limit and 900mhz upper limit. IDEAL ONLY IS OPTIMISED FOR A 500MHZ LOWER LIMIT, all the other profiles accept 250mhz.

After setting the clock speed limits, type:



And load your OWN config as default by typing:



If ever you need to set it back to normal, type:




STEP 3: ON THE FLY OVERCLOCKING

1) Get the files in the zip below, unzip somewhere on your computer.

 CPUControl.zip ( 690bytes ) Number of downloads: 25


MIRROR: http://hotfile.com/dl/45149192/1a55994/CPUControl.zip.html

2) In each file (overclock, underclock, default) as per your needs, edit the part below with notepad in your computer:



3) Copy the files (using MC, xterm or WinSCP) to:



4) Place the shortcuts on your desktop.

5) <OPTIONAL> Create 3 48x48 PNG icons named uc.png, oc.png and def.png and put them in /usr/share/icons/scalable/hildon/ if you want icons for the shortcuts.

I'll be back tomorrow for the QBW widgets, which is actually the least hard part next to installing the kernel.

EDIT: Added mirror.

OVERLOCK edited, mirror added.

GO GO GO GO...

And Ovi store blum bukak summore... Can't wait to spend cash lol...

Me likey landscapey... Except for sms/calling. But for normal applications, especially browsing, I just can't stomach portrait much anymore, for some unknown reason.

I blame Maemo lol.

Now enjoying GarnetVM, running all those crazy PalmOS programs of yesteryear, some of which have no modern equivalent.It runs FULL SCREEN DARNIT, not the craptastic quarter screen of StyleTap Symbian.

I'm happier each and every day.

Now for that darned Ovi Store update. Mana, Nokia? Mana janji-janjimu?

Lol. Careful with the news mongering. Official numbers now seem to be 100k units in 5 weeks, outselling the Nexus one for the first few weeks of sales.

Not bad for a non mass market "hacker-phone" with lotsa bugs lol.

I'm on Celcom and my failure rate in sending/recieving has been acceptably low, most of my mmses go through. Keep in mind a few of the folowing, though:

1) My imange resize settings = small
2) Connection methods = havoc
3) I disconnect FROM all connections before attemping to download or upload MMSes.
3) I switch to 3G before sending/recieving.
4) Make sure your number is in the full, international format (+60123456789)

Most of this steps are not scientific at all, just mambo jumbo. But it works more often then not.

Settings should be alright, must add port 8080 though, somewhere.

Havoc, small works for me. Medium large haven't tried.
