At night now? Chance for me to attend is even more lower.

Anyone from Malacca/Johor going to the meeting?

Also I won't say no for those who can fetch me from TBS to Wings Musicafe whistling.gif

Err... You don't know Terminal Bersepadu Selatan in Bandar Tasek Selatan?
All the bus from South will go there.I can come there but after that I don't know what public transport to take doh.gif

Haha, pardon me, I'm actually not so familiar with KL and especially the short form names.

Btw, the event is until 10pm, you'll be staying over in KL?

zdentws & I will leave Melaka around 11am.Doubt PosLaju can deliver my courier before that time.

So just don't criticize me if you see me poking SE w580 during the meeting.It's PosLaju's fault that I'll be smartphoneless during the meeting laugh.gif

Wesley got too exited when hearing my LYN name doh.gif
Anyway for those who have N900 do try to install MeeGo Community Build & bring your phone tomorrow.

If you have difficulties installing MeeGo you can refer to frontpage (steps are still the same) or PM me.
*
Haha, no worries bro.

How come he's too excited? LoL, is he a member in this forum in N900 thread?

My N900 is my primary phone, can't afford to mess around with it. I'm using it a lot everyday, LoL.
It's been more than 1 and 1/2 years, and the battery is still strong, kinda surprises me, I think it's easily surpasses 300 charge cycles; I use it heavily from day one, I charged few times per day, except maybe weekends.

Actually MeeGo installation doesn't do anything to your phone.
Install MeeGo on microSD & run it.If you don't MeeGo then just take out the microSD.You only need to flash MeeGo for the MeeGo startup only.
Maemo will be left pretty much untouched.

Seriously you're talking about primary phone? My N900 was my ONLY phone... laugh.gif
Yet I hacked it inside out...
Nokia could have donated any other their phone as my backup in case I fried my N900.
At least you have N8 from Rangers program.
*
Haha, cause I'm working and I have a family, hardly have time, have to "jaga baby". Really affected and change the time I have. I haven't have time to do many things every since my baby girl come into this world, else I would've done many things already.
In case I mess up, I'll need to spend a lot of time and concentration to fix it before I can go to work next day.

Phone without physical keyboard is a disaster to use. I can't bear with it, I hate typing with onscreen keyboard, there's no feel and it's annoying, and after using microB to surf and full Desktop version sites, it's hard to make do to those web browser on N8, it's a horror, torture. tongue.gif

Personal life do comes 1st.

Don't remind me life without physical keyboard.I'm still having some doubt whether I made correct decision on buying full touchscreen phone.Only time will tell that.
microB might pwned in pretty much all the synthetic comparison but in term on usage it's definitely a good browser.
N900 has fmobi & sociality which are good facebook browser but for some reason I kept on coming back to full desktop version on microB.
*
I saw LG have one nice looking qwerty Android, looks like N900 design. hmm.gif

Yea, I still pretty much prefer the full Desktop version on microB; just too bad there's not enough ram, and power hungry. It frequently hogs the memory especially in the virtual memory, resulting in poor performance, or sometimes serious lag or very slow respond. It requires patience and understanding hence accepting this problem, else just browse on light mode websites.

fastest way to drain N900 battery - just WiFi hotspot + 3G.

speaking of the hotspot, I use Joikuspot and while my other devices can detect the network fine, Android devices just refuse to see it. sad.gif

and my N900 WiFi when attempt to connect to Yes4G router (via wifi of course) faces problem, asking for some PIN Method donno what thingy, unlike my regular WiFi connection to my WRT54GL where I just need to enter WPA key.
*
Regarding JoikuSpot, I have one weird problem, using DiGi, when I tether to other devices/pc, I can't access some websites, e.g. Facebook, Google yes, I think mostly those that requires secure connection? Cause I was able to go to Google Mail or Yahoo Mail main page, but when I log in, the connection refused/no connection. I read it could be the network block/limit tethering to certain sites or secured connection?
The weird thing is, sometimes, I was able to log in for a while when initially connected, then suddenly it doesn't allow me to enter those sites anymore.

Any ideas?

I don't think tethering will block any of the https sites.Might be something wrong with joikuspot setting itself?
Tried with your other phones?

Yup, both Symbian and Maemo, even with default settings. For Symbian, after I install Bell, fresh install JoikuSpot, still same.

Kinda outta my reach but I'll see what I can do to get my hand on it.

N900 is a very special device for me.Should have kept it for myself doh.gif
*
True, very rare and special device. Till date, nothing still can replace it; Particularly the OS, but even the device, it's a much full featured device, with infrared, FM transmitter, etc. Once in a while, you'll come one such full featured device from Nokia.
As for MeeGo, I personally prefer the MeeGo for Tablet tongue.gif

Guys, may I ask if anyone ever tried the TV output with the N900?
I mean like connect the N900 to the TV with the wire supplied together with the N900.
*
I believe many have done that. I've been doing it since the beginning, and to watch HD quality video, I use some software which allows streaming from the PC via VLC, nice.....

And guess what? Multi-tasking works like a charm and it's surprising; Once I receive SMS while the video is playing, so I use ctrl+backspace, the video is still playing through the TV while I navigate the N900, reply the SMS and send it, without interrupting the playback on the TV; Woah! Cool!

the tv out does't support HD. However, the quality is pretty decent. I tried it on my house's SAMSUNG HDTV and it actually looked darn close to HD. video streaming (video recorded by the n900) was damn decent and didn't feel or look choppy at all. Even played games like DrNOKSnes and others with it and it just amazed my family and friends. hehehehe...

Try it. You'll like it
*
Yea, you'll need HDMI cable for that. But for HD video files, it cannot be played on N900, so I have to stream from PC, with the PC as the decoder. Very cool, I've been cracking my head when the N900 can't play the file, then I found the app, I think it was called Knots2. Sweeet...

But the thing is that I plugged it in and.. nothing happens? the wire connects to the N900's headphone jack right? and the other end will be the 3 wires that connects to the TV?
*
Yes, check you connect to which AV (e.g. AV1, AV2, etc). It should work plug-and-play; If it doesn't work try on other TV to see if it's your TV problem or the N900/Cable problem.

I've successfully hook up my N900 to the TV, Thanks again for the advice guys!
Maybe this might be a simple feature for smartphones, but seeing my N900's screen on the TV for the 1st time feels so good! The N900 still continues to surprise me sometimes. Haha..

In other news, Nokia N9 is already out for testing at Nokia centre, Pavillion, KL. Tried it for the 1st time and it felt really good! Slowly kena poison.. >_<!

Wait till you see the multi-tasking in action!
Once I was playing video-out, then I received SMS, so I go to my phone, press CTRL+Backspace to go to multitasking screen.... the video is still playing on the TV with no interruption, so I proceed to read my SMS, and then reply, send. The video is playing without any interruption during this whole process. Amazing rclxms.gif

Btw, I'm using kmplayer that time.

i do feel that microb browser and n900 qwerty trumps n9..n9 not a true successor of n900 laugh.gif

In short, it's kind of different from Maemo; Personally I wouldn't call it a true successor of Maemo as well, MAYBE, if we're talking about the MeeGo Tablet version? tongue.gif Afterall, Maemo is a tablet class OS.

To the public, N9 will look more like a very much improved Symbian, since they don't know much or care about OS. It will look like a good replacement overthe Symbian devices, very much improved and what they might prefer/like.

true... not to say people ABSOLUTELY do not want it.

but companies sure will want to catch up with the MOST popular demand... and i believe it is FULL TOUCH now.... *sob sob

so... there we go, they're just going to follow the mainstream demand.

We all who desire more QWERTY keypads will just have to evolve...

and KEEP the n900

Because they need to consider the form factor/size.

one quick question..
is n900 stable in meego..
in terms of calling and sending text..
as far as i concern, nitdroid doesnt support calls, or this issue has been resolved?
kindly advise
*
Not sure about MeeGo for N900; but you're still best stick to Maemo. Afterall, actually, Maemo is better, just that it's not as smooth as MeeGo.
Using N9, the web browser is plain and simple, no bookmarks, no settings, no history; I still go back to N900, plus the hardware keyboard is still much preferable.
Even with FB App on N9 MeeGo, I still prefer browsing full version FB on N900, it's just different, way better. FB App got many limitation and quite troublesome for many things. I guess those that already used to other smartphone which can only rely on FB App, already used to the app. For me, still a no, the FB app still not comparable to browsing the actual full site.
I even have this thinking of replacing my N900 with a new N900, with the old one used for testing/backup. But then, too much cost involved. Sorry to say, till date, no phone can truly replace the N900; Will prefer a phone with hw keyboard, but the Droid/Milestone 3 specs is a disappointment.
