now i know why i cant update my pr1.2 global release . my n900 is UK release but it's weird because pr 1.1.1 that i've been using is global release

hi all,

manage to OTA PR1.2 last night without any problems. did it through my wlan streamyx 512kbps. so far lovin it. will report if any problem occur later on.

Oops i skip pages to wrote this was at page 55 when suddently inform by autoupdate that PR1.2 was ready to download. so busy so left out la on reading thread hehe. but must finish where i leftout. later guys...

thats the best method so far... manually flashing it.

try manual flashing it is really fast (apart from downloading the .bin file)

AFAIK, the faulty USB port should have been fixed. It should only affect pre-production models. But it doesn't mean it won't happen tough.
In case it really happen, there're guide in YouTube and the Web to teach you how to dissemble the phone and fix this, or you can send to shop for repair.

Software side, it really depends; Most probably is the apps installed. TO double-triple confirm, try to do a fresh install and don't install any apps. See if it happens. I doubt it will happen. It's the same for Windows. Unless it's really hardware issues (e.g. ram, etc), if it's really hardware, get it claimed (if still under warranty).

Randomly restart/reboot can lead to serious issue (e.g. bricked N900; and you need to use flasher tool to save it). Install HealthCheck, there you can see the "BOOT COUNT", from what I read, never let it reach or over 32 times.
If you manually restart your phone, this counter will reset back to zero. So if you notice your BOOT COUNT increases, quickly restart your phone.
There's also "BOOT REASON", which shows what causes your phone to reboot itself; The reason usually is the watchdog process. I've encountered once in PR1.2, never in older firmwares, and it happens during the battery is low. I don't usually let my battery go low.

Something many people might not notice missing, the "History" button.

To get the History, touch and hold the back "Back ARROW" key beside the "+" (bookmark) sign. It'll launch the History page.

cool didnt have much time to explore yet and thanks for the update

can anyone access the ovi store?

its working for me. Did u play with the hideuseragent by any chance so the website ovi store cant detect you are connecting thru nokia n900

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.

interested anyone.. seems interesting..

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.

meego 1.0 release does not have battery management and 3d accelerator in n900

ah.. i installed it last night but didnt touch it.
i just checked it per your recommendation and it's been enabled!

disabled it and now can access the ovi store just fine.

thanks!



i just disabled mine and everything's fine now

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.

give it sometime le just out... someone will find a way to make it work definately thats the beauty of having Nokia + Linux

Also can slide from the right bottom to launch history page. Same like u slide from the left bottom to get selection/copy/paste symbol

TQ

Hopefully it's been addressed, I didn't follow the news already, just try to prevent the boot count goes high just in case, hehe. It should be addressed because there're many types of users for N900, imagine those just use as a daily phone with some basic usage, and suddenly the phone bricked for no reason, it is ridiculous. It should be a priority fix.

Thanks bro!

alittle confused about what you mean gps is gone?? Sygic is growing on me day by day, plus it locks in 10-15 seconds for me,

why if updating using appman, the file size is 113 mb but if using NSU, the file size i 187mb. why so big differ? can anyone share this with me? my n900 unable to update through NSU. keep on failed.

the bin file i downloaded from nokia is 183mb.
