Just hope that this thread did not die when pr1.2 get available.
I think this thread gives us much more joy and fun than pr1.2.

Re: Dave999's never-ending PR1.2 thread featuring drunk Laughingstok as Chuck Norris vs mutant stripper monkeys from Hell
 
I'm going to tell you all a fictional story in relation to this pr1.2 saga.

One day in the not to distant future, the auto-mobile company Volvo tells the world that they are about to release the world's first flying car! Extremely soon in fact!
Everyone thinks it is a joke and doesn't get that excited. But 6 months later they are out for sale. So people get excited and buys it, for lets say $50 000 and feel euphoria over having "the world's first flying car".
Now that they bought it, they wonder why it can't fly or even funktion as an normal car. Well, Volvo tells them that it's missing a "firmware" that can make it fly and that the firmware "will be released extremely soon".

100 years later, the firmware for Volvo's flying car i released. All other car companies have however had flying cars for over 50 years by then. So the question here is: Was it really "the world's flying car" if it didn't fly until way later after every other car could fly?
If no, then has nokia really released such a superior phone for it's time, when it will not be able to function until all other phones are better?

I say f**k fictional Volvo and f**k Nokia for this highly criminal fraud! :mad:

So, very likely we're gonna get a PR 1.2 release tomorrow.

What is everyone going to do?

How big can the anticlimax be?

Who's going to be the superstar that starts the thread?

http://blog.adl.pl/saving-n900-batte...ell-script/495

Saving N900 battery power with simple shell script

It’s not a secret that Nokia N900 is a real power sucker and needs quite frequent contact with battery charger, especially when all those fancy always-online features are enabled and in constant use. I keep my N900 in such mode nearly all the time myself, yet there are times (overnight, while at work, hospital etc.) where I’d like to sacrifice being online 24/7 in order to spare battery an extra breath. Offline mode is not an option, as I’d like to preserve ability to actually make voice calls and send text messages. You know, old-school.

So, thanks to great input which I’ve received on maemo-users mailing list and few additional sources, I’ve crafted a simple shell script called power-saver.sh that does few things in a single go:

1. Sets internet connection mode to “Always ask” (available under Settings -> Internet connections -> Connect automatically).
2. Disconnects current internet connection.
3. Switches cellular radio into 2G-only mode.
4. Disables automatic email send&receive in Modest email client.

While same script is used with “off” parameter, it re-enables automatic internet connection mode, dual (2G/3G) cellular radio mode and automatic email checking in Modest.

Simply speaking, basic usage is as follows:

root@n900:~# power-saver.sh
Going into power saving mode...

root@n900:~# power-saver.sh off
Restoring power suckers...

From my experience, actions taken by this script should make quite significant difference in battery life, yet YMMV of course. It also does nicely play with Alarmed application, so you can conveniently schedule power saving script to execute overnight and restore in the morning automagically.

Script is available for free download, use and any sorts of modification you’d like to make yourself. It’s simplistic shell script, no GUI whatsoever, so use it via X-Terminal. It could be wrapped up with some nice status-area button or something, yet my Maemo development skills (and time) are very limited.

NEVER question what you read in this thread. Only 2 options:
1. Support what you read with further proof from your own research
2. Dispute it with utter ridicule

As for Mr. Kurreknein's statement, I will ask him for the list when I meet him this Sunday.

I know what you mean. The version they've given me to test, from all I can tell, appears to be ready. I really don't know why they haven't released it.

And, I might get in trouble for this but the portrait mode on the desktop is actually pretty sweet. That one's for free.
