Re: [Post PR 1.2] Full Charging of battery not showing green light

Actually, I occasionally have an issue where I plug the charger in (which activates the screen), turn the screen off with the slide-switch, yet the yellow flashing LED doesn't come on. Instead, the...

Re: what has "open source" and "linux" phone/tablet maemo os brought us?

Re: iPhone 4

Yes, it is bandwidth-hungry (for any decent quality vicall), but to eliminate calls for any connection other than WiFi seems like a heckuva harsh limitation to impose.

Exclusivity? Perhaps. I...

Re: iPhone 4

Very interesting developments from Apple.

The increase in screen rez is nice, but not so radically superior to the N900 that it makes a big deal. You still can't do pressure-sensitive work like...

Re: Multiple Cameras

How are you attempting this, noobmonkey?

Are you just creating/closing pipelines alternately, and overlaying the incoming frames as fast as you can? In C, of course ;)

That would seem to be the...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.3) and its release date

How about a rapid battery discharge utility so that Peter@Maemo can remotely electrocute the whining feckers that start threads like this?

Re: [Announce] - mmjre - Java for N900

New version available from the first page.

Apologies for the hassle, but it's probably wisest to uninstall/reinstall.

Re: [Announce] - mmjre - Java for N900

Sounds like a good idea, Wonko.

Re: [Announce] - mmjre - Java for N900

Thanks for correcting me :)



Other than a couple of dopey scripts, there's no coding involved...and it's just not right to claim any credit for Sun's work.

So no, I wouldn't dream of...

[Announce] - mmjre - Java for N900

Project mmjre (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mmjre/)

Pretty vanilla right now. The 'official' Sun embedded JRE for ARM.

Re: JAVA on the N900 is possible!

I now have a working .deb install available for the Sun embedded JRE for the N900.

It installs the JRE and sets up convenient symlinks in /usr/local/bin so that all you have to do is:

Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that the camera doesn't work....it works just fine....I'm concerned about the abysmal quality of the image.

Re: New firmware released! Minor update PR1.0.1 needed for upcoming PR1.1

Shame the front camera wasn't cleaned up. There's still the 'dark band' problem, and the generally grainy image quality, to fix. It's a standard 640x480 VGA camera...it shouldn't suck this badly.
