after flashing fiasco without -R, disconnect the usb cable and try this

run this command first, with the phone disconnected

flasher-3.5.exe -i

remove the battery, put battery back in, plug in back to the computer

see if it automatically detects... (flasher-3.5.exe -i causes it to wait for usb connectivity)

you might need to close the flasher app, using Ctrl+C to go back to dos prompt

if it had detected in the previous command, then flash the eMMC image using normal method

because if it detects the phone so that you can flash fiasco, then it should allow you to flash your eMMC as well.

as long the eMMC is not really damaged/dislodged that is...

Added on July 21, 2010, 3:09 pmdepends on what you do and how often you do it. for me...

continously online using wifi - maybe 3 - 4 hours on a full battery and 2 bars brightness.

online with flash heavy sites and youtube - maybe 2-3 hours only.

just using to play mp3 - more than 8 -12 hours, with the screen not activated of course

using a normal phone - without connecting to wifi/3G - can last more than a day of course...

if very less calls and sms and just left on standby most of the time - 2 days or more...

if heavy calls and sms - without wifi/3G - 7-8 hours usually

* results may vary...

but now i am using it a tablet only, no sim card inside... can last much longer...
(but not much different when i am online using wifi of course)

During weekdays(cause I'll be attending classes)
Fully charged at morning.About 2 hours of WiFi,few more hours of mp3,sms & calls + few levels of angry birds
Battery will be in 20 percent around 11pm.Roughly last for 1 day.

During weekends.
Last about 32++ hours cause I only use to call,sms & very2 light browsing only.

Battery life of N900 is slightly poor compared to other smartphone cause Nokia only provide 1320mA battery compared to other smartphone manufacturer which offers 1400mA - 1500mA batteries.

You can tinker with the CPU settings & power management to prolong the daily battery life though.

sounds reasonable to me~ well~ most likely i will only use it for msn, facebook, email and some light surfing when i am away from my pc or laptop~
coz i oredi have a n86 as my primary phone on maxis line~ this n900 is for my 2nd digi line~ which i will sign up the data plan for 3gb @ RM58 per month~

the best part is i can browse youtube directly and when it load finish u can repeat it hehe

From what you're saying you can flash rootfs but not eMMC?

Like jananan said,this looks like dislodged eMMC problem now.You did mention last time that your N900 dropped quite a few times right?Since you already operated your phone,perhaps it's time for the 2nd round of operation to fix the eMMC.

Added on July 21, 2010, 3:28 pmDiGi line is actually unlimited.
After you reach 3GB quota you don't need to pay anything extra.It's just your internet speed will be downgraded to 2.5G

well, it depends on how you use your phone.

If i am free for the day to surf and play angrybird, the battery may last only half day.

For normal use, 20 minutes average call per day, 30 minutes facebooking and checking my online stock, the battery can last for 1.5 day.

I have no success to break 2 days (48 hours).

oh cool~ but how often anyone can finish up the 3gb quota?
thats why i am still planning to get a 2nd phone dedicated for mobile internet on digi line~ as calls and sms only done on my primary maxis line~

if u browse alot youtube and know how to get your music for me 3GB is not enough

Come stay with me for 1 day & I'll show you.
Sometimes I can use 3GB in 1 day.Max 1 week tops.
Since you can use N900 as modem(rather easily) I'll leech out the bandwidth in any method I can.

nah~ heavy internet usage still leave it to the pc/laptop at home~ i just one a smartphone where can do mobile internet like facebook, msn, twitter, and surfing~ thats all~

Added on July 21, 2010, 3:39 pmhahaha~ i am not that heavy user when i am outside on the go~ just wanna keep in touch with my IM, facebook and forums~ thats all~

so this n900 is tempting eh~ what else i need to know before i get one this weekend?

See how hard they hold the N97 and how long it take to drop the bars. Seriously, who will hold it so tightly and so uncomfortable that it's also hard to press keys? It's lame and stupid.

They waste so many time to research and discover this? They don't have anything better to do? Why not find real solution for their iPhone4? Instead of trying to find faults on others.

I seriously think that Jobs is just a marketing/sales person, NOT the genius/person behind the product. He keep finding lame excuses and cheap tricks such as this. OMG. I also wonder if the iPhone4 is really their invention... Maybe it's entirely FoxConn invention, Apple just took the name and rebrand it; LoL, after all, if it was brand by FoxConn, it will not get repuration, but if branded under Apple, it's a total different story, like the joke, Apple could use a brick and call it an iPhone, it will sell. "I don't care. It is the coolest phone". This might explain why they don't know about their phone and don't know how to answer questions which results to giving lame excuses?
Seriously, resulting in such cheap tricks, that's really sounded like some marketing/sales person who talk rubbish/kok to the Customers, and only dumb Customers/budak-kipas will buy it.


I wonder. Firstly, you should take a look at the N900; Then decide whether you care about the colour.

Multi-touch?
It depends on whether you really need this feature (although it doesn't mean Resistive touch can't support this feature).
Those capacitive touch screen, you can't use finger-nails, pen, stylus, etc. and there is no pressure sensitivity, it's super sensitive.
Multi-touch is only really useful for gaming. For web browsing, it's no really that important; If you can use fingernails or stylus, there's no need to waste time to zoom in out, and no need to worry keep touching the wrong link especially if you have big fingers.

Finally, make sure you know what you're getting. The N900 lacks many of the phone features (e.g. contacts grouping, ringtone assignments, etc). It's a very powerful device, but if the user don't know how to utilize it, it may not utlilize it's potential. Just like buying a manual trans sports car, but the driver is a automatic transmission driver and always drive slowly, it's not the car's fault.
If you can learn and utilize this phone, have a little patience (it's like a PC after all), then you will discover many wonderful things on this phone that is not available on most (if not all) of the phones available today.

About multitouch on N900,
I think we'll be better off with simple tap & zoom.Much easier to browse that way.
But of course for games this will be useful.Some game writers managed to get around the multi touch tough.For example SPiN.It's actually multitouch game for Iphone but works just as well on N900.

btw,contacts grouping & ringtone on the way.
Individual ringtone already available but need some tweaks.

iphone is a joke without their apps~

well~ at the moment i am reading forums, reviews and specs on this n900~ so i not sure if the 65k and 16mil color screen make much diff anyway~
as i said. i need a smartphone where i can do mobile internet when i am outside~ since this phone wont be my primary phone~ phone calls and sms will be at its minimum coz not much ppl know this digi lien anyway~ so do tell me whats the missing things in this n900 i need to take note if i can live with it~ thx~

icic~ so i guess the maemo OS is still has plenty of room to mature eh? great~

that's nice...hoping the Auto redial on the way too

We may be a very small community but our combined ideas are larger than iPhone communities put together.

The guys at maemo talk are doing great job with the apps & enhancement.

Are you guys that lazy?
Just redial manually

Any Idea how much is the N900 Screen Cost??? Just the Screen Cover...The layer where the Touchscreen is....that we are protecting it with the SP....

so anything lacking in the n900 i need to take note since i'm not that familiar with maemo~

Since i been too used to nokia n900 and all other phones

When i used iphone in was like huh this phone is boring without application.
But why i kinda like about iphone is when u run apps there totally no lag
