Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

I think it's obvious here that Nokia need to open up testing of the new firmwares to the community as a whole.

1. Saves them money paying testers
2. Gives them a massive amount of real world testing data
3. Confidence that when they release to the public there will be less bugs.

If open source/community works for support and application why can't it be used for the operating system?

Or alternatively more in keeping with this thread:

OMG ! What an ugly cat :eek:

Here is why the firmware is late, at least this is part of the reason.

Thanks, best post on this thread so far :)

Hehe.. thanks! Credit to @mwkn for the original find. I've not posted in this thread before, but have enjoyed it immensely! I was thinking may be I could do a post with some of the awesome images that people have come up with. But it'll be a task to find them... lets see..

PS: Can't wait for PR 1.2 to come out! ;)

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

Thanks! First useful post in 3 weeks.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

Im new to all this though i have been following this and the other threads from the beginning what id like to know is if pr 1.2 was good enough to release on the hong kong version of the n900 why isnt it good enough for us yeah I know theres talk of bugs but are we to believe that the hong kong version has these bugs too i know there is no fm transmitter included in the hong kong version so whats is the deference between ours and theirs sorry in advance if this is a stupid question or has been asked and answered before.

"So there you have it, yes the firmware is delayed and no we don’t know when it is coming. All we know is that it is coming for sure."

How can someone just say that?

Does not he have a boss?

Did nokia forget about the small detail that they have thousands of customers?

I don't want to see my boss face if I tell him that I will have my work done for sure, but that I just don't know when.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

Good points, BAD punctuation.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

It is not a good policy - PR1.1.1 has some annoying bugs which irritate users each day. For exam - rendering blocking by some video file with unsupported codec. After you put that video to N900 you can't use system media player anymore for video, even for video shots from camera. So, two month delay could be acceptable but three months delay up to the end of May - definitely not.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

God! Is this thread still going???

Go download the leaked version and close this thread already!

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

Can't close this thread. It's now like a ball of plasma, it just grows in size and turns everything else into plasma as it moves.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

Hey, those are my words and not Eero Tamminen's. So you can go easy on the good Nokian who actually came forward to share! :)

I've edited the post to put quotes in and a demarcation so that such a misunderstanding doesn't happen!

I just dropped by here to say hi... Hi!

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

I'd see it as a very positive sign : Nokia has bosses who are capable of understanding that if they rush the QA cycle and push out a half baked product, then the real bosses - the customers - will burn them at the stake.
If you cared to read the content of that blog, it seems that they aren't just interested in pushing new features. They want us to be able to use the phone for long periods of time without needing a reboot.
They're also doing performance testing to ensure that the speed of the device remains consistent over an uptime of a week or more.
From a stability and performance point of view, that means Nokia is pushing PR1.2 towards the level of stability I've experienced in other smartphones.

I'm pretty certain you'd want your phone to be stable and fast to show off to your iPhony, beebee and goog-phony friends.

For now, relax and enjoy the summer. Have a mai-tai!

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

True. But can also be that you don't have any customers left ;)

Focus on QA - Release 2012 :D

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

My goodness. There must not be much left of you at this point.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

If Nokia had any respect for us as customers, someone from the company would have come out and said all of this officially a month ago, when they realised it was going to take a little longer than they thought.

Not communicating with an expectant customer base causes bad feeling. This thread is enough evidence of that.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

Also, features in Pr 1.2 will probably be the same in World wide releases as HK release. This means that the features must already been functional tested and performance tested before release to HK. So now what. languages that takes weeks to test?

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

I think it's a lot different when you put firware in a new device. I think the delays are as a result of compatibility issues with previous firmwares. The HK version never had pr 1.1 or 1.0 or prior use

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

ahhhhhh :-) thanks for make things clear.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

i didnt know this was a english lesson just wanted an answer not be criticized for my grammer.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

If they can predict exactly how long these issues would take, they should be in the stock market and not releasing software. Your assumption that they knew exactly how long it'd take is misguided. They're certainly not going to let the community know about every bump they run into.

If this was stressful for you waiting, imagine what its like for the coders and testers dealing with the issue.

They're not fixing typos here folks. A test cycle takes more than just a few hours and if they find a problem they have to reproduce it, then they have to diagnose it, fix it, unit test and if all has gone well go through another full cycle. Turnaround on a major issue can easily take a week if they find and fix a problem the first go around, longer if they need to iterate or have multiple issues.

Chilax and go do something fun. It'll get here soon enough.

We are definitely crossing 6k :D

"It's taking a bit longer than we thought guys ..."

There, that didn't hurt did it?

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

Nokia is a vertically-challenged person and we are the legs. It will hurt, because they'll have to break us to grow.

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

For God's sake. There are plenty of developers, trying to get the PR 1.2 done, and trying hard every day. Can anyone think if some of you people whining, where the ones working in Nokia. How stressfull would it be? :cool:

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

some of us are...Just not for nokia :D

Grown men can handle stress.....its a job. we all have em. tell em to pull their panties up and stop pissing sitting down.. those pansies!

Seriously? Isn't it obvious? Or did you think they're drinking Mai-Tai's playing ping pong and waxing philosophical about unicorns and trying to "build suspense".

They're not baking cupcakes.

So... Women developers can't and should quit?

Just wondering... .:p

Re: Periodic speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) starring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris -- now with trout!
 

I'm sure the folks working in Nokia handling the stress just fine.

If you on the other hand have to resort to name calling because a few days of waiting is too much for you to handle, you may want to look in the mirror first the next time you want to go name calling.
