Not way of ressurruction?(did i spell right?)

You're gonna force them to change the motherboard?

No confirmation on QWERTY. I would assume "no" because of capacitive touch screen.


In addition to above,

- RM-690 (I'm not 100% sure, but fairly certain it's 690)
- quad-band/penta-band (so it will support every 3G band under the sun like the N8)
- 720p HD recording
- 4" 16:9 capacitive multi-touch screen
- about 0.5-1.0 centimeters thinner than N900 (I forgot if he said 0.5 or 1.0, LOL)
- 13x0 mAh battery (I forget to check, but I suspect the display to be OLED and I was told battery life is expected to be better than N900)

Like I said, the specs are incomplete so there may be small changes/additions before launch.

Now, shockingly (or not shockingly) there will be another MeeGo device, known as "Lankku." I was not able to see specs, much less get much info on it.

Another shocker... one of these devices may be launched towards the end of this year and the other around 2Q-3Q 2011. I forget which one, but I'm pretty sure the goal is to launch Dali at the end of this year.

I got to see a Maemo 5 app in alpha phase called "Smart Search." Pretty damn nifty. It'll end up in Ovi Store, but I don't know when.

I am hesitant to say this because I do not want to start an uproar or negative speculation, but Maemo 6/MeeGo will have some interesting changes, namely Nokia has decided to limit the amount of personalization on the homescreens to make it easier and simpler for general consumers to use. These are my words and how I remember and interpret the info.

Slightly off-note, I saw an interesting blurb about 64GB Samsung flash and 64GB Toshiba flash. Apparently, one was faster than the other, but was more expensive (I'll let you guys guess ). Also saw an interesting blurb on one of the MeeGo devices passing 100,000 chassis flexes and almost surviving a drop. And yet another one about a phone passing a heat test, but the screws turning brown afterwards, LOL.

Yes, I probably should have paid more attention, but it was too much info and I was hungry.

One last thing... I would certainly appreciate it if this info is not propogated (at least my posts not referenced). I do not want to lose a friend that I consider dear to me should this gets tracked back to him.

so it's not the warranty won't cover, it's you yourself voided the warranty first?
actually what had you done to your N900? Hardcore upgrade and customization?

guys...need your help....my camera dint work...i can snapped a pix but when it tried to load it...it displayed operation failed....is there by anychance to fix it other then flashing the phone back to factory default? i tried to uninstalled the latest apps i download ( i assumed thats the caused of the problem ) but still not working...

eiraku... if it is motherboard.. definately cannot repair... cos i sent over also cant repair the USB connector not charging... but replace motherboard...... luckily mine from US... hehe.. took me 2 months plus to get back a NEW REPLACEMENT.... hehe..

my nokia freak-tablet working like a charm now, tweaked and reduced swap file usage to a bare minimum....

93MB RAM free @ start up, will work further to increase free memory @ fresh boot. any ideas to reduce further ?

freak-tablet behaving weird when swap turned off completely via 'swapoff' command, with more than 90MB RAM available, it complains 'close some programs before opening up another' when i try to start a x-term console - come on, 90MB RAM not enough to start a console window ? - possibly kernel panics for no reason when it sees 0 swap.

next step : will disable swap on emmc and set up swap on micro-sd, autoloaded on every boot... but that will not only increase performance but also increase battery usage since micro-sd uses more power than emmc ? or the other way ? emmc use more power ?

anyway, have to get my class 10 microsd before i can experiment...

PS : all this sweet tweaking & flashing is going to make Eiraku really jealous...

the different is the risk of warranty if u can see into the future ap is worthy if u cant if it breaks down u have to come out big cost like our tai kor tat brick his phone.

ap warranty by some small company

ori warranty by nokia malaysia

i am sorry about your unluckyness maybe your love for linux wanted u to push further

So no lesson learned from this fiasco?

hi there..
its has been a great 4 months with my n900. never had any problem with it although i oc it to 850mhz......until today

went traveling with my buddies to melaka today,and i want to show off the power of maemo's Sygic gps to them..

but then, after i opened the apps, locked by the satellite already, i want to click the 'navigate to' icon, but everytime i clicked on that icon, the apps will immediately shut down itself and straight back to the desktop..
so malu weh
anyone of you here had similiar problem with Sygic before? what should i do? uninstall and install it?

The price ranges from 1.2k to 1.3k.. and if ORI set, can i get it fixed back in penang?

try this

Kernel Tweaking - linux swap usage

'sudo gainroot'
cd /etc/init.d/
open rcS in leafpad or any text editor
scroll all the way down until you see

'echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness'

change it to

'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness'

then add these few lines directly below it

'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs'
'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs'
'echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio'
'echo 95 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio'

Changes implemented with these values -

- most importantly, battery life will get slightly better, but for some users you might not see any difference. most programs will stay in RAM when launched and only use swap when necessary.

- secondly you will see some tasks will become faster since eMMC is rarely accessed for swap and this will free up I/O for other tasks. (e.g. playing MP3, video is smoother)

- it will reduce virtual memory usage (linux swap) to a minimum and only use it when absolutely needed, memory full.

- if you multitask like crazy then there will be slight delay when memory pages are moved between the eMMC and RAM. this is normal
PS :

note 1- please record down all original values and changes that you made

note 2 - you need to reboot to see the changes

note 3 - you can revert back to original setting by editing the same file and using the original values, so write down the original values someplace before editing

note 4 - you also might want to back up the original file in case you are scared that you might screw it up

 
Still got some issues with the tabbed browsing.

Nokia is really messing with good thing.If it's not broken why fix it?Mozilla based browser is just perfect.Almost all reviewers will say is including iOS hardcore lovers.Why change it to webkit?There's already endless result that showing that webkit based browser just isn't as good.Latest prove is Blackberry OS 6.

Yup, better let them choose what they like. If they bought it because you suggested it, then they will blame you for any problems or if they regret. Besides, because it's not their choice, they usually won't put their heart on the thing, won't spend time to learn, etc. In the end, they blame everything on you.

However, there're some people that are different and they will learn to appreciate and love the thing.

From what I know, there're many Anti-Nokians in Malaysia. Back then, when there isn't much choices around, these people usually jump to SE devices and most of them won't look back, even though the reason they jump is no longer valid (e.g. Sound Quality, Camera, which used to be the strength of SE). It's a fashion/brand thingy, it's a Sony.

Ppl sometimes dont think keep condemning nokia but until today they are still capturing market share. If they are capturing market share i dont see any failure in it

Anyway so far they have very2 few cases of truly bricked N900 caused by OC.
Probably the only known such case in Malaysia is Eiraku's case.

Guys, i take the plunge to buy emergency charger from one of the forumer.The emergency charger cannot charge n900 initially but after some google-ing....i found a guide to modify the usb cable n now able to charge my n900.it's handy when u run out of battery but whether it posses any long term effect to n900 is unknown.USB cable modifying guide is as below.
