Clearly the device has been powered up & detected but it's not mounting.
Tried manual mounting?

BTW are you using SCSI device?

Guys, a gentle reminder to those who have not yet paid for their USB OTG wire, please do pay up. The bulk cannot proceed otherwise. I will give up to next week before I drop the names who have not yet paid and push up anybody else interested.

Guys who have yet to pay up for BULK 2:

1) radz0
2) bluewan
3) bluewan
4) radz0
5) zerio
6) XiuKeong
7) deanja92

Please guys, at least drop me a PM if you have any problems paying up.

A very simple question to all sifus tongue.gif

Did you all restart your phone regularly or let it running for weeks?

I let it run for 6 days and start to acting lag, then last night it totally crash when playing bounce doh.gif had to remove the battery to make a restart shakehead.gif

What kind of phone functions are you looking forward?
Remember that N900 is a fairly outdated model.You may have to spend some time to hack the OS to add some functions.

Simply to say:If you want good camera phone with regular software support,stick with N8 ; if you want an all rounder phone & you're willing to hack the phone,take N900

basically i want a physical qwerty and a more fun functions in a phone. i havent made up my mind yet but im now gathering some info on the N900. kinda noob in hacking. smile.gif

Hacking is awful fun I have to agree, and you can make the N900 run a LOT of OSes and have fun. Also if you surf the Internet a lot and type a lot, you will enjoy the N900.

But if you wanna rely on it as a PRIMARY COMMUNICATION DEVICE, you better be sure you want a device that is cool.gif very much experimental in nature.

Also, the USB OTG function of the N8 is stable and easy to use. And as one1002 mentioned above, it might just stop working on the N900 because that function TOO is experimental, like many other parts of the N900, portrait mode included.

Don't get me wrong here, the N900 is a GREAT device, if you understand and can accept it's shortcomings, as outlined above.

Also, the E7 is coming very, very soon. But keep in mind, it has an utterly crap camera module and no microSD slot.

A bit OT but I find it a pleasent surprise that a PecahPenjara TelefonSaya feels very, very much like the N900 in use. Just yesterday I played around with root terminal and dpkg to find some errant packages that was causing some trouble, crashing my Kedai Kupu-Kupu lol.

Not to mention I had to go to the /var/ themes folder to adjust some PapanMusimSejuk themes manually. Ah the freedom, confirm I can only really live with Unix derived mobile OSes (Android not included, due to the steaming pile of poo called the Dalvik VM).

I do miss the N900's hardware keyboard though, especially when posting on LYN or when composing a long email (or when messing around in terminal brows.gif )

Hello, recent i facing a problem. I use N900 as a Harddisk for stor CS. I already moved CS to desktop,but looks like some files left in N900...When i delete it, it appear "deleted read-only file?then Unable to delete". Even i use PC to open N900 to find the file and try to delete. But it seems doesn't have that file inside N900.

TelefonSaya's on screen keyboard is better suited at landscape.Typing long stuff in potrait mode will definitely cause you to make mistake.
But surprisingly I kinda like HTC's on screen keyboard in both modes.Have rather accurate sensitivity & the text prediction is excellent.Provided you want to type with proper english of course.

Install leafpad from AppManager.
Open terminal & type the following:
CODE
leafpad /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level


Be careful by editing i2c stuff.This thing can brick device at hardware level.

Won't take those who experienced in pecahpenjara long to understand the words.
We have to use coding because LYN don't allow discussion about pecahpenjara doh.gif

Was a bit afraid nobody will get the reference, but yeah I knew I could trust you guys with figuring it out.

Hmm porting over commands... Well 'nixes will be 'nixes after all.

The below is off topic and totally TL;DR. Only click if you wanna see me ramble aimlessly lol.
