just received my N900 today to complement my N9

This thread still alive, LoL!!! N9 thread died, LOL!!!

lol

What happened to N9 thread?? They are newer than us and more apps than us even supported by Nokia still

No idea, lol, less active compared to N900.
Personally, I still prefer N900 due to the qwerty, and also Maemo5 with Desktop.

Guys, my phone kind of lag lately, I open conky and surprice to see the Home is only 3% left(75.42MB)! while my rootfs still have 35%(79.81MB)

Which folder is consider as Home? the Opt folder? I hardly install anything, I uninstall a few obsolete program and got back about 10MB(before is about 65 something), where the rest goes?

edit 12/3 : I uninstall another game and oracle java and manage get back another 50MB to 6% now （123.18MB） but still a long way, where all the space gone?

LOL, i stopped subscribing to that thread since everyone started debating nokia's strategy

Your home folder is, /home/user, no surprise.

By normal means you won't be able to access this folder on other machines except you use SSH or SFTP.

Locally (on the phone) itself you'll be able to access it via the terminal, so to put a rundown of what you need to do:

Figure out config folders of apps you don't really use anymore. Highlighted that in red and in bold, because it's important so that you do get to know what's inside the /home/user/ folder. One mistake for one app and your settings for that one app all goes ka-pish. Those folders are usually hidden and they usually have a period ( . ) prefix before the folder name. Identify those folders and delete them.

By the way do take note some folders especially /home/user/MyDocs. This folder is where your N900's internal storage is, and the one you usually access when you plug in your N900 via USB Mass Storage mode on PC.

Also one of the possible causes of lag (may vary from person to person) is because of your uptime, where heavy swapping occurs between the phone's internal RAM and the swap memory of the phone. Usually what I'd do is a reboot when the lag gets too unbearable (I've missed several calls thanks to it!).

One more thing: I recommend issuing the command (as root):



in order to clean the files your app installers (Application Manager, Faster Application Managers, apt-get, what have you) have downloaded.

Oh, also as a heads up to you guys still expecting updates and new stuff from the Maemo.org guys - N9 peeps also take note:

As of current, Maemo.org's auto-builder service is currently down, they'll need time to get it back up before we can hope to see any new updates and stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try the apt-get clean command first, I rebooted my phone for few times, everything is working normal, just the overused HOME kinds of worried only. I don't heavy tinker my phone, I suspect is all those cache file never cleaned :-)

apt-get clean seem to have no effect on the missing spaces in fact the spaces will going up and down, from balance 68MB to 110MB

I'm not install anything new anyway (in fact nothing new for me to install ), so I will just let it be.

time to get a new phone as it is already long behind the technology, but I still awe with the versatile of this phone, nothing can match it's freedom to manipulate the phone

haha so ongdid not get in here... nvr expect this thread still alive lol

what phone u want buy after this ?

Lumia 620 and using it now

speak about the missing spaces....the phone kind of giving me back all the space by itself now I got back 1GB Home free, weird, I didn't touch anything since using the new phone

same ship

maybe your phone miss u

You too on windows wagon

actually I didn't abandon her, I am going to get a prepaid sim as my second phone, besides, my N900 can play all movie files, all audio files....limited on W8 phone

I still have dosbox on N900 to play classic game
