QUOTE(hengguowei @ Nov 6 2010, 06:20 PM) no tweaks...no edits edof camera on e7 has its advantages. the dof is almost unnatural shots are taken using N900 through FCAM Added on November 6, 2010, 6:25 pm I think N900 should be good for you... since Movies N900 can support a lot of format...ie .avi Internet experience of course lar...N900 beats E7...N900 is Internet Tablet  and Camera...N900 should be better though resolution is lower...why?...because E7 camera is fixed focus...you can only take shots starting from 50cm to infinity...N900 is 5cm to infinity  hahah...I'm just lucky and still a beginner with the shots...you guys should check Sifu Aspire's shots...it's total awesomeness   |

QUOTE(super_evil_alien @ Nov 8 2010, 12:26 AM) My phone LED is blinking right now something i did.... healthcheck also cannot turn on the LED or the vibrate, but rest assured its still there as the LED still lights up when i switch it on... the device vibrates ok when i switch on as well.  Missed call...Try restarting your phone.Else test the LED notification with HealthCheck. so its definately some sw bug/accident thats causing it... |

QUOTE(hengguowei @ Nov 8 2010, 01:08 AM) WB is white balance...adjustment to make it whiter or yelloish first you price your phones high, like RM3000... Burst of 4 and Burst of 8 means you take 4 shots in one time or 8 shots in one time...I didn't try this but even 1 shot takes time to be saved into memory... Added on November 8, 2010, 1:09 am because Nokia and Android is not Nokia 3g/ Nokia 3gs/ Nokia 4g/ Android 3g/ Android 4g etc then you negotiate with service provider and provide packages... make it look like its really worth it to get with the monthly plans.... and you're stuck with either digi/maxis/celcom both apple and service providers earn while you get stuck paying for services that you might not need... and pay fixed amount every month the service provider no need to worry about users abandoning their service no matter how much it sucks... since they've 'got' you this time... i have to give it to apple... and their clever marketing strategy... nokia only using this strategy in europe... |

QUOTE(super_evil_alien @ Nov 8 2010, 02:25 AM) Seriously I'll say this,those who are not willing to learn even the simple reflashing should not use/own N900 or any other NITs. seriously, this smells like disaster...I don't expect everyone to be pro's at linux but it's a simple steps plus it's also fun learning something new. As long as I'm TS I won't add this at FP or suggest this either. |

QUOTE(one1002 @ Nov 8 2010, 02:47 AM) and i'm not expecting this to be added on the FP either.. its not a bad post at all... it's not i'm demotivating people to stop learning though..but i was just sharing it.. =) i myself had some hard times learning linux..thus when i got the N900..i have some quite of a knowledge about linux commands too.. so no biggie for me.. it's just that (not pointing finger to anyone) there are some users who are really afraid of doing one of the basic stuff in N900..and that is MANUAL FLASHING.. 1. "i don't trust manual flashing" - it's not manual flashing u didn't trust..it was yourself who u didn't trust.. 2. "i'm afraid of flashing..afraid of doing something wrong" - this is obviously the most lame excuse to shout out about..MISTAKES IN FLASHING DOESN'T KILL YOUR PHONE.. 3.. "aiya..OTA upgrade is easier than manual lehh" - do you know that u can't flash the same firmware using OTA?meaning if u are currently in PR1.3, u can't OTA to PR1.3..only if you are in PR1.2, then only u can OTA to PR1.3... and guess what, all of these happen AFTER using/owning the N900..  now this you can add above the FLASHING PART on the FP to motivate N900 users to learn to manually flash their phone sorry super_evil_alien if my post doesn't help..i'll edit it.. just we encourage learning instead of spoonfeeding... imho, those kind of programs can cause more issues sometimes... its just a script written in ms script or dos batch, that does things automatically for you. but its sure to run into problems when your machine is not 100% equal to the computer that it was developed on. things like which folder you're running from, or spelling of certain filenames and folders, even the drive that you installed your windows on can be an issue. just a simple glitch could cause issues to your computer as well. (some ms script codes, if not all, are considered threat by most anti virus programs) it is easy to flash manually, the script still requires you to reboot your phone, press U key and do all that stuff. it just automates typing this in your command prompt 'flasher-3.5 -f xxxfiascoxxx.bin -F -R' if you can download the script files, unzip it and set up the folder and copy all the necessary files in the right folder with the right names, i am sure you can type that command in too.

QUOTE(one1002 @ Nov 8 2010, 03:25 AM) your point is good.. learning to flash manually :that's y ASPIRE and SUPER_EVIL_ALIEN created the front page guide..it's full of basic informations.. nonetheless, there are still some users who come in, click on the last page, start asking questions which had already been answered on the FP.. we all know that reading the whole thread is a pain in the a.ss..but spend just a moment on the front page..thread starters created the FP for a reason..not just to be displayed.. so the reason i posted the link in my previous post were meant for those who i describe in my previous posts too.. but i forgot to add some sentence below the link which is "learning to flash manually doesn't cost u a single thing, except making u smarter and understanding the way N900 behaves".. Added on November 8, 2010, 3:29 amowh yeah..super_evil_alien..i wonder if you could edit the first post on the front page to add "NEW-COMERS, PLEASE READ THE FRONT PAGE BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY ARE INCLUDED ON THE FIRST PAGE. FAILING TO DO SO WILL RESULT YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE IGNORED"  bahahahahhahaa....that'll goes well with your nickname, hence super evil.. =P  just kidding..  1) learn to unbrick your device if you accidentally bricked it. 2) learn to reset/re-install the OS on the phone if you feel something is wrong and cant find the cause. 3) learning how some basic MS DOS commands work 4) learn another way to update instead of using OTA update 5) the knowledge might be useful if you want to experiment with other alternative OS's (NITdroid, meego, etc) 6) manual flashing is much faster when you get the hang of it, takes about 5 minutes to update fiasco and emmc (rather than waiting for OTA or NSU downloads) 7) the exact same commands works in any hard disk installed or cd/usb bootable copy of any linux flavors too (useful if you're stuck with Windows 64 bit) 8) the ability to choose to flash just the fiasco, emmc or both depending on your needs 9) the manual flashing works in any 32-bit version of windows that ships with command prompt functionality (yet to confirm) 10) works even in a newly installed copy of Windows without any extra components (.NET libraries, drivers, etc) or for problematic computers, might even work in Safe Mode as long there is USB connectivity (yet to confirm) |

the best thing is,
if any new users have tried and failed using any of the guides in the front page, then there are lots of people here willing to help. but if you just want us to tell you step by step when you have not even seen what's on the front page, then i have to tell you i am really sorry but i cant comply. this message goes out to those people who stalk the thread, and PM me asking questions about the device. read the front page, try the guide, tell us how you did it and why it didnt work. dont just PM me, asking 'can you help me install this app?' or 'can we meet up and you help me install this app?' Added on November 8, 2010, 4:36 am QUOTE(Eiraku @ Nov 8 2010, 04:28 AM) @alien: Rather then 'advanced mobile OS', it's more like an 'mobile desktop OS' - hence all the issues lol. Once you use a true-blue NIT you will understand why the N900 is so flawed as a phone, because Maemo wasn't really designed for that. those designers had to make the N8 USB OTG cable with a squarish micro usb connector. As a tablet tho, other then a distinct lack of apps and battery life, it's great really. BTW, anyone plan to buy USB host cables online or have spares? I'm itching to poke a few thumbdrives into the N810 just for the heck of it. I wonder if the N8 OTG cable would work on the N900/N810? Can try arr sifu aspire? it wont go in any other device with a micro usb port unless you make a bigger hole in your device. Added on November 8, 2010, 4:39 ambut standard micro usb cable works just fine with the N8. some sort of exclusivity for the N8 or just dumb design. the sort of stuff that Steve Jobs does to standard ports on PC and adapts them to MACs Added on November 8, 2010, 4:45 amhttp://thenokian8.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/N8-3.jpg  notice the extra space around the port ?

no one tried the new hostmode beta ? but its compiled against PR1.3, so its either hostmode kernel or OC kernel. cant have both...
Added on November 9, 2010, 12:27 am QUOTE(Augus7 @ Nov 8 2010, 11:45 PM) n8 shots so nice? seriously on auto mode? kingmax should be ok... anyways, i found a thread in lowyat, seller name ebiz2u, he recently msg me that 16gb class 10 microsd is currently available, so future dual/triple booters want to organize a bulk ><? My internet is totally rubbish so i don dare organize it. the discount depends on how many is purchased, normal price is RM150 including postage, i consider it quite cheap oredi, but im quite sceptical on kingmax brand better than brands like DNA... super_evil_alien already going on with 8GB class 10 bulk. kingmax as well... but 16GB class 10 for RM150 is a bargain as well...

Wanna ask for help to see the prices of 4-16GB miniSD or microSD cards WITH A MINISD ADAPTOR. yeah, minisd is hard to come by....I'm not gonna be in KL until the school hols start so anyone can help? Now suffering for choosing a 2 year old device using an outdated mass memory slot (miniSD). the question is... does your n810 support minisd or minisdhc ? if it supports minisdhc... i guess u can pop in a 32gb microsdhc into minisdhc converter and use it... |

Has anyone seen Sandisk or Kingston 8-16GB cards that come with minisd adaptors these days? Malas to go buy from the net really. i bought a kingston 4gb card for someone... came with a micro-mini adaptor if i am not mistaken... if u really cant find any, i can check with that person... but put it as the last option... cos i am in penang...
