Haha, UK FTW!

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

Hasn't that always been there?

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

good guess......... or ??

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

wasnt for me even with LPR1.2, was using UPnP yesterday and it didnt show..

either that or i didnt let it load enough to show........??>>??>?>

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Not happening for me either, cant do it OTA, which asked me to do it via the Nokia updater, which tells me I have the current software already! Probably give it a while then try again...

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

I'm using a US version in Australia, should I wait for the OTA update or flash to a global version?

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

This may be a braindead question, but: Where do you get Nokia Updater?

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

But PR1.2 include Sim toolkit? Very Big cons is N900 not support Mobile-ID:confused:

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

The most likely reason is that you have less than 57Mb in rootfs. There are loads of threads on how to clear enough space (uninstall some apps and disable repositories etc). Otherwise you can use flasher or Nokis SSU.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Did anyone doing a FOTA get stuck at a black screen after the download finished? Mine isn't responding.. that could mean it is doing something.. or something bad has happened..

what have been the FOTA experiences so far? How long did it take, for example

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

a) in Nokia PC Suite, click Update, it will download and install
b) here (http://europe.nokia.com/support/down...oftware-update)

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

I you have the power-user kernel installed, then follow the instructions on
http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#U...ng_to_a_new_PR
for the OTA upgrade.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Nah, got over a gig in rootfs. Very odd.

Nokia Updater is software from their website. It recognises the device and checks for the latest software. Its about 100mb. I dont like using it as it tends to be temperamental and not read my phone, but its good for occasions like this I suppose

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

Just flashed mine with the global firmware. Contacts and files were left intact, restored settings from backup.

First impressions:
1. This is obviously old news, but it's nice to actually be able to dial USSD codes directly with the Phone application.
2. Maps seems to get a GPS lock faster.
3. Email client loads mail folders (esp. my gigantic Gmail inbox) faster
4. Long press for numbers and symbols is also very useful
5. Qt 4.6 included by default. I'm a developer so this is useful for me.
6. Email widget is nice but I want it to be able to show read messages as well. I don't like having to see the (no unread messages) message.
7. I still can't create playlists in the media player. What's up with that?

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

gig of rootfs? its only 256meg isn't it? /home != /

I had about 10 megs less than a colleague.. he couldn't install, I could.. he had MANY more apps installed, though.. looking at the apt package list, it seemed to think it would require only 36meg of root space to do the install.. so...

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Anyway, to get back on topic, just flashed mine with the global FW, everything went butter-smooth and I have a pic to prove it (people were asking for sshots):

http://i49.tinypic.com/29qm6h5.png

It feels snappier than PR 1.1.1, and as a bonus my rootfs went from 52.4MB to 92.6MB free :cool:

Also, backup app did a wonderful job restoring all my installed applications (apart from several from devel/testing because those repositories were disabled when I created the backup), so in less than half an hour I had everything back just the way it was.

UPDATE:
1) FM-Transmitter icon from Settings is gone, I guess it has to do something with it being disabled in my region even tho you can legally buy products with FM-Transmitters in my country. Will check later if the fmtx-faker can run it even without having the icon in the Settings.
2) There is a new "My Nokia" icon in the Settings that allows you to subscribe to Nokia news.

----------------------------------------------------
Yeah your quite right, I was looking at available memory for apps ect.

But still, I have 61mb of rootfs.

Strange....

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

I don't think it is space free..

people said.. I had no space.. so I uninstalled apps.. now I can install..
it's removing those apps that let them install, not the space.. I had 79% used.. 43meg I think.. and I've just upgraded!!

I'm going to help my colleague out now, see if I can track down what app/apps are causing the problem and perhaps an automated script to highlight hot spots

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

how do we use xterm to free up some space. i don't use many extras dev apps but will try and remove a few later...

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

I started with 42.. something, slowly got it up to 56.1mb free but still can't update over the air. I dont know whether to keep searching or give up and wait til I get home from work :) I have all the catelogues diabled except nokia apps and nokia updates, I've cleared the cache, I've removed unneeded dependencies, hmm.. i thought >56mb free it would be enough to get it OTA.

Edit: I just noticed a post saying >57mb, earlier i think i saw one saying >55.5mb .. well the journey to 57mb continues..

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

I guess I'd need Windows for that? :)

The explanation that my rootfs doesn't have enough free space seems plausible. Freeing up space now.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Your looking at the wrong directory, your available rootfs should XXmb, to check download either conky or health check, both are really usefull apps to have anyway.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

I'm uninstalling a bunch of stuff too, see if it makes a difference. Still frustrating that Nokia's Update Service tells me I have the current software...

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Yeah, I realised I was been a dunce! 75mb now, still uninstalling some bits...

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

To check how much space you've got on the rootfs, the easiest way to go is via xterm:

If the PR 1.2 doesn't show up in your update list, it has nothing to do with the rootfs, you'll have to wait for it to become available for your device, or use the flasher with a downloaded image.

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

i've also noticed an increased speed while browsing conversations and app catalogs (still no fremantle-1.2 except for maemo.org)

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

If I flash using PC/MAC, not flashing emmc, will all my music, photos and conatcts stay? (using backup, too)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Help!
I can't update... the phone detected the new firmware as soon as it was online, but it asked me to update via USB cable..

OK, done... Nokia Software asked for an update... OK, done... and now...
The f***ing Nokia Update Manager keep saying my phone is up-to-date, even when the phone itself recognize there's a new update.

I had this problem once before and I updated via terminal, but I can't find that exact thread, neither remember the commands...

HELP

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

yep you won't loose your data

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

Yes the e-mail client is lot faster now. Thank god. It was pain in the ***.

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

Going to flash now!

QT LIB'S HERE I COME!

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

I'm still not at home to flash the update.... :(

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Your best move is now to upgrade with the flasher manually.
Instructions are here : http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

don't forget to backup you phone before you do it.

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

Is the next 24 hours going to be longer than the last 4 months?

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

I've mentioned it in the other PR 1.2 thread, but I guess this thread should be an aggregator for all things that are PR 1.2.

The FM Transmitter icon is gone from the Settings, at least for me. I'd guess it's because its disabled by default for my region (and for no real reason) but can somebody confirm that?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

people, is it save to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" with this one?

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

i live in Helsinki and got the same message. I decided to flash the GLOBAL and all went well. If you have the USB cable you can flash the global version. read all you can though as aparently Flasher 3.5 doesn't work properly on some newer versons of windows. I used XP and all was well.

if you follow the guides on here it is a really simple task.

make sure you make a backup on your phone and remember

IF YOU ARE UNSURE AFTER READING THE GUIDE THEN DON'T DO IT. YOU MIGHT RUN INTO PROBLEMS THAT YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE.
