Re: 2012 Coding Competition

Hi Kojacker, hi all

sorry to bother you, although I fear it's kinda pointless to ask: what are the chances of getting a replacement N950?

As mentioned I'm having problems with the touch area of the display. I first noticed it when it was impossible to swipe down to close apps. After some testing it turned out that the touch area between 10px and 110px are not responding at all. Meaning: most of the status bar as well top buttons are pretty much "unreachable" for me.

The actual display is working well, it's just the touch area that had a problem from the beginning.

In the mean time I tried multiple versions of MeeGo but it seems it's a hardware issue. Or is that normal for the n950?

Alternative 1: Does anybody know where to get a new screen unit? There is a thread here but the company that once did replacements now doesn't do them anymore.

Alternative 2: Does anybody have a dead device with a working screen unit that he or she is willing to trade for something? Would love to get in touch with you.

Any thoughts / hints? Would love to hear from you all.

p.s. All in all it's not the end of the world - it's still ok to test my software on it, so it's a convenience issue mostly.

It is not normal. This is the only question I can answer in your post.

This is great news. Hope to see the maintenance end soon.

Thanks Khertan, yep. Btw all you twitter users, Ville is a great source of help, news and updates on Qt development so you should all add him to your twitter feed if you haven't already. Also, I like to think of him as the Kerry King look-a-like of Qt.

Oh no dirksonguer.. that's rotten luck :( Hmm.. I'm not sure if there's any warranty with the N950 and I believe we have posted out the very last of the last remaining at Nokia. What we can do is to ask qwazix to reach out to the Nokia rep (once he gets all the details, hopefully later in the week) just to see if there's anything they can suggest. I think that might be a long shot though :( Hopefully we can get you some help from within the community. I understand what you mean about the convenience issue.. a lot of the options for networks etc are available from the status bar press.

Get with the times jackburton :p Yep twitter is definitely your friend. I don't know anything about scratchbox as I don't develop on linux, could you use the Qt Creator IDE to develop within instead? For the meantime anyway?

If you're completely stuck without anything for Harmattan, I believe a version of the Qt SDK containing the Harmattan target, compilation tool chain and Qt creator is currently available for download via the following link:

http://www.developer.nokia.com/info/...f8/Qt_SDK.html

Quote:

Versions available
The Qt SDK is available in the following versions and installation packages:

32- or 64-bit Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.1
32-bit Ubuntu Linux 10.04 or later.2
64-bit Ubuntu Linux 10.04 or later.2
64-bit Apple Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

Quote:

Description
The Qt SDK delivers a complete toolset that supports the creation of Qt apps. Its features include:

Qt and Qt Mobility APIs for Symbian, MeeGo, desktop, and simulator targets.
Qt Quick, Qt Quick Components, and the Qt Creator IDE to provide a complete solution for UI development.
Tools for Symbian, MeeGo, and desktop apps, including the use of native APIs.
Device binaries to enable apps created with the SDK to be run on Symbian phones.

But yes, the sooner the maintenance is over the better.

Excellent! This is exactly the documentation I need.

Now all I need is scratchbox installer.

According to the documentation (which I downloaded from the link you gave, thanks so much again!):

Quote:

Downloading and installing Scratchbox

1. Download the Harmattan Platform SDK installer from MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Platform SDK downloads.

2. To provide executable permission to the script, enter the following command:
$ chmod +x harmattan-sdk-setup.py

Problem is that the download link is under maintenance, too.
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/platform-sdk

Does anybody have a mirror or copy of the scratchbox sdk installer?
