Thanks a lot, I didn't check under the 'plugin' tab.

Just a little caveat for those of you updating and who have been using Video Center.

Blast! A bit late now.

Has anyone warrantied their dead cards with the manufacture? If so what was your experience, brand etc.

Most if not all of them have a 1 year warranty, some even lifetime.

Transcend happily sorted (well the disti did) my Class 6 SDHC 8Gb card in about 3 or 4 days which for NZ is damn fine service.

They come with a lifetime warranty BTW.

Wow! That was my first upgrade to my N800, and that _is_ painful. It is like a windows reinstall (must be why I don't use windows).

and that Backup Application, what does it back up? I sure didn't backup my home directory (seemingly only the MyDocs folder), which was a surprise.

I have decided that if I like the application, it is worth having a local copy of the deb. I spent a couple of days trying to find osso-statusbar-cpu, since I was searching for load-monitor, or memory-monitor. Got it now, but wow, that upgrade is painful.

I wrote a one line shell script tars up my home directory and copies it to a directory on my SD card, put it in /home/user/bin, and it's a menu item on osso-statusbar-cpu's "commands" settings. So, whenever I do a Backup, I then do my own copy operation.


I sort of agree about the difficulty in re-doing apps after upgrades or backup/restores ... but I firmly believe in not bypassing a package manager unless I absolutely have to (and am willing to forever manage that software by hand). So, keeping around debs isn't a reasonable task for me. I'd rather hound the developers to fix the shortcomings of the backup and application manger programs.

Re: Update: SD/SDHC Card Trashing - Nokia Admit There's a Problem
 

I checked the new image (38-2) against the old one (26-8) and the files that differ are zImage, initfs.jffs2 and rootfs.jffs2.

It's probably a goot idea to flash also initfs (by doing "flasher-3.0 -n initfs.jffs2 -f -R"), as it contains kernel modules (though the old ones also work).

The new rootfs.jffs2 has the same size as the old one, but differs in checksum. Does anyone know of a changelog, or just whether something else than sw-release (which may be edited in /etc/osso_software_version) has changed?

Re: Update: SD/SDHC Card Trashing - Nokia Admit There's a Problem
 

Did you use flasher on all 3 files? Everything working fine?

Re: Update: SD/SDHC Card Trashing - Nokia Admit There's a Problem
 

I posted the list of changed files in another thread. Forgot which, but quite a lot of files changed. From casual inspection they didn't seem to have any real significance.
