the app just lies to websites telling its flash 10 on an android browser. and android browser is webkit based if i am not mistaken, same like symbian. microB wont behave like itself anymore, but some flash 10 websites might work, might work and for sure choppy.

Added on July 29, 2010, 1:47 pmit was possible to measure power usage of individual apps in symbian. it did not require a special sensor HW, just some codes in the OS itself. symbian started off as an OS for mobile devices with limited battery power, whereas linux started off on dinosaur machines which had no care for power management, therefore i am not surprised if any linux based devices suck at power management.

Added on July 29, 2010, 1:57 pmmaybe not installing all those apps is helping with the standby time.

i avoided any apps that might have daemons that run the background or add additional applets to the control panel or widget section.

only installed apps that would load on execution and totally quit when closed without leaving traces in memory.

after finishing with this experiment, i will try with just kernel-power on a fresh re-flashed device to compare.

seriously need help here~ after reflash to the global firmware on the 1st page~ i cant install fAPN and fMMS from apps manager anymore~
every time i try to download~ both gives such error~ "application packages missing: python (=2.5.2-3maemo3)"

what went wrong? help~

its nothing to do with the firmware. Go search for python in google or apps manager. You are just missing some required files

enable extras repository at least.

enabled Extras and Extras-testing~ installed every python related apps~ still the same~

find the one exactly as specified in the error not randomly.

Or type in google it might link you directly to that file in maemo.org

tried extras-devel ?

Catalogue name: Maemo Extras-Devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

and click on this link using your n900 after adding extras-devel, my mistake python is in extras-devel i think

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/d...ll/fmms.install

Added on July 29, 2010, 2:54 pmthese are all the dependencies for fMMS

python2.5, python-gtk2 (>= 2.12.1-6maemo10), python-osso (>= 0.4-0maemo2), python-hildon (>= 0.9.0-1maemo15), python-dbus, gnome-python (>= 2.18.0-2maemo6), python-gconf, python-imaging, python-gobject, python-evolution, sharing-fmms (>= 1.0.2), statusmenu-fmms (>= 1.1), python-conic, python-support, python-notify

better enable extras-devel and let it pull dependencies, its hard to install all these components one by one.

Waaa, I like this line LOL
Sounded like some very famous brand's philosophy

nokia just leave it to the community... those lazy @$$......

I just hope someone will get 3g calling working man... if not the front camera is so redundant...

for some funny reason i also wanna see this function working...

great news...my N900 will back in action on saturday night....

good news...

hello all.. my n900 can't call out it will show general error if i want to call somebody... whats wrong with my n900...

what kind of error message?? what on the message?

its just show general error on the top of dial pad when i want to make a phone call.. how to solve it bro..

did you add any software lately.. have you been tweakin anything ...

of of the way is to reflash.. but before that try rebooting

how to reboot? did not add anything.. after reset factory settings also the same thing happen.. after i off n on it back also the same problem happen..

try check your phone setting>send my caller ID. is it [let network choose] or [yes] or [no]. if [no] , change to [let network choose].
