I think you can also use skype to call landline/hp.But you may have to pay for that service.
Try checking TMO for further info.I don't really know this part.

Regarding replacement for N900 (in my case additional phone) I've yet to find decent qwerty based smartphone.
In terms of build quality Nokia E7 is certainly excellent but the OS & hardware spec....

I wish HTC will announce some sort of successor for Desire Z soon.

IMHO there is no need for integrated MMS for Maemo 5.fMMS does the job perfectly.

Seldom use FF4 because of the loading time
Tried searching TMO?

Well,mine last for 1 days with light gaming,calls,sms,playing mp3 & light surfing.With very light use(only phone calls & sms) mine will last 3 days easily.And that's without OC.Mine is also AP set.
Do you use WiFi/3G a lot in that period?

That's the only drawback from fMMS.But not a issue for unlimited data plan subscriber.Especially for DiGi subscriber

Use the FP method to reflashing againUse Manual Flashing B.

Doubt the Pheonix software will work with Maemo device.

You can fix messed up kernel aka reboot loop with simple kernel only flash.This won't delete any apps.
If this doesn't work then a full flashing is required.You'll need to reinstall every apps again.

PS:To those who pm-ed me to add their name to FP,I'll do so this Monday.Been extremely busy this sem.

@ongte
Kindly remove your link at post #703.
No need to share link here since the users can google & get the games they want easily.

To solve your problem:

From terminal:
Type - root
Type - apt-get update
Type - apt-get install preenv

If you want a troublefree & long supported phone take SGS2.
But the search of my N900 "replacement" is still going on...

Just enable all 3 repos & refresh.Package should be added after that.

I think adding.Not changing.

You can use apt-get to refresh repo but never use this to update CSSU.Sometimes it'll mess up some packages.Use App Manager or FAPMan.

Expect games to be launched to Green Robot 1st in future.Most of the devs turning to Green Robot now.Google even managed to capture some Maemo/MeeGo nerds when Nokia committed suicide.

Even rebooting your phone didn't solve your problem?

In frontpage there's solution to fix reboot loop.
Are you sure you're v46 kernel?Because v46 kernel don't have uboot anymore.Only v45 had it.

The closest thing to N900 is HTC Desire Z but the processor....
Nevermind,I'm in no rush.Still got Angry Birds Rio & bunch of other stuff to mess with.

If webOS device can play it there's high chance we can play it.

Use PC Suite/OVI Suite

deb version do have some issue.You can try installing with the dirty method aka extracting ipk file manually.

With PR1.3 + heavy modification like mine maybe you can squeeze out 1 extra hour compared to your PR 1.2 N900.

Hardcore modification of Telefon Saya is real b*tch.To much restriction.People prefer winterboard because it's GUI based modification tool.But you won't be able to change too much things in OSsaya.

OSsaya is really boooring in term of functionality & eye candy.I think even MeeGo(tablet version) demoed few days ago is way better looking.

All angry birds version are 1.0.0
Next month should have new version with new levels.

Type dpkg --help in terminal (with root access) to list down all package management command.

@retro_rave
I'll reply your pm tonight.I might need to write slightly longer than usual pm for you
But for now I'll say if you want to learn about maemo you can start learning basic debian/maemo terminal codes for fun.
PS:Sorry for the late reply.Was banned for 1 day.

This is the MeeGo tablet version.Sleek isn't it?

Also I really wish Nokia will stop play around Maemo/MeeGo.If you plan to use the crappy WP7 then go ahead & use that particular OS only.
I don't understand why they still want to release Maemo 6 device anymore.It's a real pain to see another half-baked Maemo device.

@TimothyTham
I think frontpage got the guide.

WinSCP is program that will enable you to establish wireless connection connecting your computer to your phone.

You need to download MidoFayed's keyboard mapping separately.

I'll be happy if Nokia released full source code for Maemo 6.



Each person(especially advanced users) have their own preference on how their OS should work & appear.
Give it some time & dedication & anyone can mod their preferred.This is where having open source OS comes as advantage.You don't have to care much about legal stuff.

My principle always been performance > eye candy
That's why my phone look very dull but have a very fluid performance even though I'm running at 600MHz only.
And yes,600MHz is enough to run games like Asphalt5 without lagging.

Tried webOS games installer from App Manager? You'll need Angry Birds Rio's ipk file.

I do think that the deb packaging for Angry Birds Rio have some issue.I had the same crashing issue when I tested the deb file yesterday.After a while I gave up & went to to my ipk type of installation.

NITDroid 2.3.3 "Vostok" kicks in.

There are plenty of performance improvement.Same installation method applies.

SMS out = Haven't try
SMS in = Can
Call in = Can.I can hear what the other party talking but he can't hear what I'm talking.
Call out = Haven't try

There's 3 version of Angry Birds
i)Angry Birds
ii)Angry Birds Seasons
iii)Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Seasons shortcut name is also Angry Birds.Perhaps there's mix up when you check there game version.

Reboot both your computer & phone?

I can get 3 days on standby

Nope.There are few of us here running heavily modified Maemo 5 on N900.The better your tweak your OS the better your battery life will become.

Anyway do try changing to another battery.But always go for Nokia's original 1320mA battery.Most of the 3rd party battery don't have the exact current charge as they advertised.
Do read this thread : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568

Need to order from ebay

How much is the original 1320mA battery anyway?

You need to rip out the battery case to test it.I think there's wiki entry for testing electronic material with multimeter.

In a hellhole called hostel room

Do 2 of the following:
1)Re-download the 2 files from maemo tablet site.Copy the files to the exact location that the flasher tool showing you ->C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5
Rename RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin to R.bin
2)Open Devices & Printers in Control Panel.Check whether you N900 is in update mode.

Try executing the flashing code again.
If I'm not mistaken the %m represent that the particular flashing file is missing.
