To tired to go through the 50 pages. So how do you people increase the ringing tone sound volume?

Google and found some pretty complicated and scary way of doing it. Any easier way?

http://www.n9fanclub.com/2011/11/how-to-in...a-n9-sound.html

I think that the most easy way to increase volume, currently using it, working like a charm.

I dun use N9 tweak, it brick my phone.

The ringing tone volume is already pretty okay in PR1.2 when set to max. Any louder it would be annoying to others. The earpiece volume can be improved, I agree but ringing volume sounds fine to me. Do you still find it too soft?

On 1.2.
Setting/Sound&Vibration/Volume. Still low. Lot behind my other N8. Did I miss something?

Another question. When I wanted to make a video call from the N8 to N9, it says the N9 does not support video? How is that possible or is there some setting i missed?

ps. The N9 can access Internet.

There's a ringing volume with bar in blue and general volume with bar in magenta. You can adjust the ringing volume by pressing the Volume+ key in any screen including the lockscreen.

Yes, unfortunately N9 still doesn't support video calls over the operator GSM network (Maxis, Digi, etc). GTalk doesn't use the GSM network.

Reboot should mean restart.

You want the scren to go black, just press once the power/lock key.
If you leave it, it will turn off the display and go into sleep mode after some time (which you can set in settings).

To re-active or wake, press the power/lock key or double tap on the screen (double tap can be disabled in settings).

In settings, you can also set the swipe down to close feature. So when you slide an application from top to down, it will close. This also depends on screen orientation, in landscape mode (and the app switches to landscape view), it's top to bottom in landscape.


Can't compare with N8, N8 much louder; but both are mono speaker, so it's better not to go too loud.

No video and yes, how is that possible, it's been like this since N900 more 2 years ago. Never implemented on N900. How is that possible right, a Nokia product. Plus, Symbian have nice contacts management, but it's not implemented to Maemo and MeeGo.

1) If you just want to increase the overall volume, go to Setting, Applications, Music or Video. On the Dolby Headphones function, it will increase volume.

2) The restart, shutdown is to reboot and switch off the phone. If just want to on screen saver, press the 3rd button from top. 1st and 2nd button for volume. The screen saver(screen blank) will auto on within certain time. Settings-> Device->Display->Display Time out. Longest is 3 min.

Or you mean you dont want the time to be there when the screen goes blank/screen saver on?

Btw, your maps issue settle? Weird you couldnt see the bottom right icon? oops, just saw your post, solved liao. The back button works

Discovered something interesting. Off the phone and leaving it on idle has almost the same battery drain. In that case may just leave it on overnight. Anybody else has the same experience?

Missed that. I increased magenta but ignored the blue ones. Thanks. It's now louder but still not as loud as N8 but I guess that is it.

My current Avg Idle is 6mA, anyone have below it?

Lol, now only you buy the app is it? Previously Open Video Player can play minimised but not compatible with PR 1.2. This one could watch full screen. It's the same developer as cutetube. I asked him in maemo forum is he going to put it to Ovi Store, he said no more doing, too many codes to change.

I know of the 3rd button and thought there might be an apps that will do the same thing. Anything like the Pocketlock for the N8 on the N9?

Yeah, so we're actually lucky to get Flash support. But it's the end of the road for mobile Flash. Anyway, PR1.2 did add history to default browser, scroll down your most used sites list & you'll see it. Too bad they didn't give any settings to control how long history to keep. I also wonder when we'll get PR1.3, just keep our fingers & toes crossed

All good points & not something that can be ruled out on WP. Hopefully they add more settings. Well, hopefully. Most users aren't concerned or even know about app/memory management but yes, added flexibility to cater for geeks is always needed.


Thanks for the insight into N900. At least now I know why there r many diehard fans of N900 that wouldn't give up on the device. Super optimised! Yap, only the sky is the limit if Nokia released the source for Maemo5. Makes you wonder what Maemo6 would have been had it not merged.

Honestly the open source community is trully one of the best out there, spending their free time to fix/modify these things. I've always been amazed with them & trust that as long as given the chance, the community will respond & pick it up.

Anyway there's a nice app in Nokia Store called Drop Cache for N9. Helps out a lot in doing garbage collection which MeeGo doesn't seem to do enough. When I get choppy videos in CuteTube I know it's time to use Drop Cache. Oh I didn't realise CuteTube was free for Maemo5, but yes he definitely deserve to be paid . I use it mainly for downloads too but sadly buggy DLNA support for vid makes it not possible to make my N9 as a media centre. I use YouTube Downloader/CuteTube/Nokia Trailers on my N8 to download vids & N8 DLNA support is amazing.


Way more impressive than I hoped for. Great stuff & super job by the dev!!!

Added on March 22, 2012, 12:18 pmNo ah, I bought CuteTube the moment I got my N9 back in middle of Jan 2012. But I was testing the N8 version which he put out for free before that. Yeah I know about Open Video Player & why he stopped work on it. Big darn QT bug sadly.

Added on March 22, 2012, 12:20 pmWow! That is super!!! The lowest I've seen for my phone is 11mA. No I don't off my phone when I go sleep. Very good batt life after PR1.2.

Bluetooth. N9 can pair with N8. But can't detect the computer's (confirm pc is working). Any advise?

N9:
Bluetooth 'on'
Visibility 'on'

Is your PC's bluetooth visibility on? I assume you know that most desktop PCs have no inherent bluetooth facility and you need to plug in a bluetooth USB device.

Finally got the computer to detect the N9 but the computer asking "insert the disc that comes with your bluetooth
peripheral device".

My pc bluetooth is a tongle and been using for years so I suppose it is asking for my N9 disc? Where got disc?

what about direct use the usb cable? Its faster and better. If want to sync, choose sync and connect. If want to copy files, choose mass storage mode.

Ya,can transfer contacts using Bluetooth. Nokia symbian phones to n9 is no prob.

I just don't understand. The pc can link up with N8 via Bluetooth just fine.

PC can now detect N9 but can't link up with N9 and keeps asking for device driver which I don't have.

I found that leaving it on with my wifi connection still on it will reduce by 10% or more.. If off the streamyx, as in pull plug, then whole nite only reduce by 3%. So, on or off phone, not much difference. But with connection on, it will auto fetch feeds, emails periodically. Of course, the other way is put in flight mode, but if forget to put back to normal, leceh.

Good idea. I'll put it in flight mode instead of switching it off/on every night. Easier and faster. Maybe need to reboot once a week to clear garbage just like Windows.
