my virtual keyboard won't popout when press the white area!!!
can someone help me, how to solve?
*
some chinese input sw will disable virtual keyb after installing....

some themes also screw up virtual keyboard... try switching themes first - back to ori theme.

or you can try this

sudo gainroot

gconf-tool2 -s -t string /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger hildon_western_fkb


it might work, i am not sure.

totally disabling the tracker from running improved my battery life by at least 10% -15% or more. my n900 does not index / watch any of the directories now...

one downside is that media player does not see any of the new files. have to use 3rd party player to manuall open it.

or you can enable the tracker > reboot > let it reindex everything > disable > reboot

this way you can be sure its not leaving some orphan process in the background...

after a fresh boot, the processor spikes only for nearly a minute then calms down to 250Mhz and about 2% - 3% usage

so how often did U format ur PC/laptop?

for me , 1 yr ++ then i format,

If this n900 need to be format every couple of months, that so inconvenient i think....
*
you dont have to format unnecessarily. it will not suddenly ask you to format every couple of months. in fact you dont have to format it at all.

it all depends on how you use it, lets say on your computer you installs some *pirated* software and end up screwing up your system with some trojan or virus.

then you have to format, right. so if you go and tinker with your n900 you will probably never have to format.

but then whats the point in buying a n900 and just use it with default settings and system config. its not an iphone for gods sake...

its like buying a spanking new tuneable ECU for your sports car, but never touch it and just use as stock.

about the formatting part, just undestand that it is linux based. don't assume all OS are windows 98.

btw how to check whether ir enabled?

still fiddling with irecco.
*
when you press the buttons irreco, use another phone's camera see the infrared light emitted from the IR transceiver of the n900.

most cmos sensor based cameras would be able to see infrared wavelength...

How do you disable the tracker?
*
the file is in the folder below, sudo gainroot first

/home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg


open it up in vi or leafpad or any text editor you prefer.

you will see a lot of entries that you can set to TRUE or FALSE. its all in plain english.

Added on July 23, 2010, 5:43 pmof course you will need a reboot after saving the tracker.cfg file.


Added on July 23, 2010, 5:44 pmyou can do "killall tracker-process" but killall is not a healthy command... like end task of windows...

only use it when programs crash for example, cos it will just kill the process / program and not saving the settings / state.


ini pun boleh pakai....

but it just configures, not disabling the tracker

Added on July 23, 2010, 5:51 pmsince i disabled the tracker the boot up process a teeny bit slow...

i dont think its related to disabling the tracker... must be something else i changed... can't keep track of what i changed or deleted...

ok qtirecco confirm working.

so far manage to control DVD player and EOS 350D. unfortunately the EOS 550D does not respond to the IR signal.

LCD TV and ASTRO B.yond still no luck.

what i don't like is the super short IR distance.


Added on July 23, 2010, 6:10 pmoh now LCD TV under control already.

Optimize your Nokia N900

STEPS :
1。place and extract the file to /home/user/MyDocs/
2。then just run x-term. type root (or sudo gainroot)
3。type "cd /home/user/MyDocs/" in x terminal
4。and finally type "sh OptimizeN900"
*
its a script to restart all the running processes in the background, it *might* reset your widget arrangement on the desktop. so if you have done precision work on your desktop design, i suggest you look into the script to maybe disable some hildon related sections.

otherwise this script is very good if you are the type of person who doesn't restart your n900 everyday. those who restart once or twice a day don't have to run this unless you really multitask the hell out of your n900...

its better to make it a habit to restart in every time you hook it up to a charger. this way your n900 is always fresh with no swap usage.

finally, NITdroid supports HW acceleration in 0.6 rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

i think in 2-3 months time it will overtake Maemo5, without the Telephony/GPRS/3G support of course since those nokia components are closed source.

just check out the video in the tube below and be amazed.

then just imagine flash 10 + HW accel = wet dreams. brows.gif brows.gif

so cool look forward for its official launch. The community did a great work.
dude, its never going to have an official launch... you just take it as it comes...

soon android 3.0 (gingerbread) is going to come... as long its still based on ARM platform, they will make it work on n900.


Added on July 26, 2010, 8:53 amMinimum hardware requirements for Android 3.0 devices are: 1GHZ CPU, 512MB or RAM, displays from 3.5” and higher.

New 1280×760 resolution available for the devices with displays of 4” and higher.

Android’s split into 2 branches becomes official. 3.0 for top of the line/high end devices. Cheap, low-end mass market handsets will keep Android 2.1/2.2

Warning : speculations, no official words.

it does't work on all apps... it does not change the orientation of the app but forces it to rotate, and screen gets cut off...

i would not recommend it.

DARN!!! I kena FFK by the seller even before the COD. Darn! Having N900 dream just put to waste now!

But still I'm planning to get a new one; most probably an AP set. (thanks to aspire and you guys' poison).

Then again, there's another offer for Motorola Milestone; it's Android. (Sorry to put other brand phone in this topic, but I have to :| )

Any suggestion over here, Milestone or N900? (I can predict most of you will ask me to get N900) ;D
