smartphone like a pc, when there is a time something crash and shut off is the only way, unless N8 has a reset system, else locked battery will continue provide power to the phone hence as a warm reboot, not a hard reboot.  Another bad point is, when you are out of battery and there is no charger around, you can't swap battery

just like windows, try ctrl+space to switch language input?

last note is mscim will crash the virtual keyboard, not sure PR1.3 fix it or not, I don't have phone on hand to test it

yeah, a bug in mscim   and you can't simply uninstall and get back the virtual keyboard

er...any sifu to help on calling out IME input, I don't have phone to test

first, mind telling me how do u install it? thru app manager or offline using .deb files? i'm using offline install.

wat i did is from setting, go language & region, change device language (scroll to the most bottom, u should see 3 new language chinese (hong kong), chinese (PRC) and chinese (taiwan)) switch to either 1, then restart ur phone

now open a notepad or conversation, hold ctrl + space (not the blue arrow, its spacebar) to activate
if u're on pinyin mode, u wont see any diff until u started typing, if u're on handwriting mode, then a box should appear at ur bottom right screen

If it works, then feel free to change back to english language (well, u'll hav to change back even if it doesnt work lolz)

just noticed new thing...pressing shift + ctrl will switch between input mode...din know that before 

some screenshot :

i just installed mscim yesterday...now its working perfectly well, and yes, it still crushes the virtual keyboard on PR1.3
but i dun mind thou, prefer the physical keyboard 

anyone here oc to 900mhz for PR1.3? i need some review before i clock mine to 900..

Happen to me also. Im using celcom.

telco problem perhaps, so called upgrading in progress...

Need someone who can go to lowyat to do this.
Trouble is there is too much image on that post already.Forum don't allow anymore image.Later I'll to edit few pictures.
Celcom sometimes have this issue.

My network is just fine.I'm on DiGi btw.

hmph. I'm on Maxis but no such problem for me.

DIGI also having this problem, mostly around 11pm to 1am, suddenly lost of line, then on again

I am using Digi too, thought of changing to smart plan after I get my dream phone  :-)

Maxis would be the most expensive but most stable line of all

hope you didn't fall it before...might be loose connection

I have dropped mine for 1m high and skidded 2m far but no problem. Forever on network.

urm...not always...on specific cases, I think there's a bug. I tried taking a photo the other day, the dragon gold thing. I set 1 settings. Forever hang, I need to kill the processes using HTOP. More than 5 times. Then I change settings, then ok already. I think there's a bug in the software.

Slide down in FCAM app, select Autosave to N900 gallery.

http://bit.ly/a4njnX

download and install raw viewer from FAPman

I have that too
but actually no point cause view the JPEG easier lar.why want to make life difficult?

Sifu heng havent master what's raw for. Nvm i speak behalf of sifu Heng.
RAW format is big because it keeps all the setting in it so u can adjust brigthness, colour etc without ruin the photo.

Jpeg u do that the quality will run abit.

Thats why DSLR have choice of Jpeg or RAW
