Yea, I read that MeeGo will be a totaly different class from those smartphone level OS, just like Maemo; My concern is the feel and design. Honestly, I don't find MeeGo anything like Maemo although it's said to be Maemo + Moblin; maybe it's a Moblin with some Maemo features? It gives the feel and design on Android instead, maybe because it's more of a Moblin blood, LoL!  tongue.gif

More facts should be out around February next year...

btw I noticed a strange bug for while now.
Lets say if I cleared all my recent calls now,there will be an indication of missed call at menu tab.
Anyone have the same issue?

@Dark_Angel85
You probably just accidentally deleted the autorun file & icon file.Transferring back the files should solve your problem.

To those who are having this "battery seems to be charging but after unplugging the battery runs out fast" issue,it's a issue with PR 1.3.eyes(one of the NITDroid devs) confirmed this also.I'll try to report this bug later on.

For those who want long battery time use default omap kernel.My battery can last for 2 days with some mild internet/listening to songs/messaging/calls.With kernel power the battery can last around 1 day only.
It's possibly to strip kernel power of some of its functions.I'm going to try it so see what's causing the battery drainage.

As long as the wire works I'll take it.
Main reason I want it because it's much shorter than CA-101 cable laugh.gif

It's a bulk. You order first, it will arrive in 2-3 weeks. Then can COD (if I'm in Shah Alam at the time).

That's the best way to get it cheaper... I mean, I'm just the middleman... biggrin.gif

Ok.Just got Eiraku's cable for test.

Overview of the cable 1st:
Overall the cable look quite sturdy.This cable won't dent easily as the af-af adapter.
In terms of physical quality CA-157 still the better cable but not by much.For RM12 this cable definitely worth it.

Hostmode:
No autotrigger like N810.You'll still need to mount the device with h-e-n.
But small price to pay to have a good working hostmode.
Transfered 100MB of files without any problem.

Conclusion:
This cable works with N900.But still needs software trigger.
For those who have the af-af adapter,this cable work just as well as the adapter method.It's just if you guys want a much reliable cable I'll recommend this.

Can curik this and put on my bulk thread?

BTW, it's RM14 now, after promotional period edi hehe, still a reasonable price for a very decent CA-157 alternative.

But yeah, I like the ori CA-157 look too. It's veryh well designed.

Problem is (besides the MRSP or the original cable), when imitations do come in, usually the cable part is of low quality. I had a CA-101 copy that had the wire sheath/cover split in half after only two months, which is mangy to say the least.
*
No problem...

Never mind then...Add my name in 2nd bulk.

I can't really comment on the solder quality till I cut open the cable.But from what I see from outside(it's transparent) the soldering quality isn't that bad & the cable didn't break even when I use extra amount of force on it.
But only time will tell how long this cable will last.

If you're using NITDroid:

Make sure you have installed multiboot patch

Boot your phone while sliding open your phone.

In some weird situation kernel power sometime will refuse to load.
Try reinstall kernel power from app manager.

Follow Manual Flashing Method B from FP.

At step 11 type following code:

This will only flash your kernel.

How to get Shrek Karting working

Install libgles1

    * Get root privileges

root

    * Install OpenGLES1 and OpenGLES2 (needs extras-devel)

apt-get install libgles1 libgles2

Improve corrupted/black graphics problem

    * Create the file /etc/powervr.d/ShrekKarting.ini containing these two lines:


[default]
ForceExternalZBuffer=0

If the two lines above does not fix the corrupt/black screen problem, add ONE extra BLANK line (so a total of three lines) and try again.

Graphics is still not perfect - lighting textures are still not good.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to create the file?
*
If you are supernoob or lazy of configuring the ipk files you can flash custom eMMC file.
It'll expand your /home/ partition to 6GB while reducing the MyDocs partition size.
After that you can proceed to install the deb version of the webOS games.

Anyone who want other webOS games pm me.

QUOTE(lightastral @ Dec 16 2010, 02:36 PM)
yeah, you can configure it that way but the problem is that you cannot view your email if you are offline.
correct me if im wrong.

through nokia messaging you can view offline and emails pushed from my gmail is fast too..not to mention you can have up to 10 email acc in nokia messaging making reading/checking multiple email in n900 is so easy indeed.

Nokia Messaging is really good.
Reason?
NM push my email faster than my YM notification.

QUOTE(Dark_Angel85 @ Dec 16 2010, 03:24 PM)
the songs is ok... no problem with the songs... but the video player... maybe i remembered it wrongly... but i can vividly remember the videos playing continuously in the default player...

aih... that's why... the device allows you to tamper around too much we forgot what it is we tampered...

I kinda like the media player.... so that's why didn't use others... hehehe... plus the media player widget is kinda simple and cool.

thanks anyway bro

Default media player does play files continuously.Try check the settings to see whether you change anything.

The question is whether you want to use N900 for a long term or just want to use for fun for short period.
If you plan to stick with N900 for long term I suggest you to go for Zitron set.Better warranty coverage.

Well...Trying to strip kernel power is real b****.Its much harder than what I thought.
For time being I'll be on omap kernel.Only reboot to kernel power if I want to use hostmode.omap kernel gave a much better battery standby time.

Too bad my experiment on kernel power have to wait for a while.Back to crack open iOS now.
