Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

If this is a firmware release how come you can do it under app manager update i thought we had to flash firmware with the image files... and maemo flasher..

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

comon thats a myth :cool:

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

ok after reboot my phone is 'half' bricked, dont do it yet. im in but ive got gfx corruption and cant do much, trying to fix

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

going back to a default theme because im getting a lot of gfx corruption and it seems a lot better now.....

still got the more icon so this isnt pr1.2, once i get device info ill try and post

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

V3.2010.02-8 rx51

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

if you did it through the terminal the version string might have not been updated.
high cpu consumption is usuallt the tracker doing its rounds, it should get better in a few minutes.
go in the browser, see if your back button is now on the left of the input field. if it is, it's most likely 1.2.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

well im no expert but after selecting the default n series theme my phone seems to be back to its normall self. im not sure wot got upgraded but it does seem a lot snappier, maybe cos of the reboot, but my phone aint bricked which is good :)

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Its not 1.2 i can tell ya that for certain :)

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Try looking at the virtual keyboard (different layout), browser (back button), and file manager (Share in context menu) to see whats going on :)

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

i was going to say try some USSD codes to see

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

well i still have the more button in menu, browser back wtill does history etc etc so it isnt 1.2

device went a bit spastic qafter i rebooted but i would recomend using a default theme if you want to risk it as i got some gfx corruption until i switched to the default n-series.

my phone seems to be working as normal now though. no harm done :)

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

My N900 doesn't find anything new when I try apt-get upgrade or even apt-get dist-upgrade...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Nokia starting fools day early this year :)

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Thought I would have a go at apt-get upgrade. Got similar results to the above.

Can also confirm that everything is snappier. Home page swiping runs more smoothly and media player no longer does that annoying stutter at the beginning of video files.

Something has changed, but I don't know what :cool:

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

All interesting stuff! When you mention it is snappier, what about opening Conversations, is it smooth? On my device the animation stutters to open, not smooth like most other apps.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Can't say I noticed a problem before updating, but it opens instantly post-update. Scrolling up and down the list is smooth and quick. HTH

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

still get the stutter but in my case i think the extra snappyness is the same as when you do a standard reboot.

@Netadept- did you get all the gfx corruption like myself when u rebooted? i may revert to my original theme to see if it comes back.

wish id made a note of the packages that were pulled down when i ran the upgrade command now :(

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

No corruption here. I'm using D-THEME Black with a custom background. I did reboot immediately after installing the updates. Maybe that has made a difference?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

How do i get this "Update"

apt-get update

Then what else do i type?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

ran this... it updated 6 packages on mine... i dont notice any changes at all thou.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

is this sort of April's fool joke?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Hi Telnet,
Could you tell whether Qt is updated to 4.6?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

I wouldn't recommend upgrading with apt-get. I did it (very early) when PR1.1 came out. It didn't get all packages. One package in particular was missing. I can't recall the name of it, but it was some sort of meta package that pulled in a load of extra stuff in. I only found about it after being quite puzzled by the fact, that despite the upgrade my version number didn't change. After installing the meta package (and all it's dependencies) everything was fine and my version number was correct.

I'll see if I can figure out the name of that meta package...

EDIT: Found it. It's called "mp-fremantle-generic-pr".

I just ran "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" and there was nothing interesting to update.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Apt-get upgrade with extras-devel enabled is a one-way ticket to brickland. Why don't you patiently wait for the official release?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

1] Impatience
2] Because if it gets bricked its no biggy to re-flash :)

Oh and no, didnt have extras-devel enabled..

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Tomorrow is the day for sure !

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

They couldn't have chosen a better date for a grand update than april 1st, haha. You know what would be even more hilarious? If you get the update prompt, start installing and in the end your N900 resets and you get an "APRIL FOOLS!" message as your boot video.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

April 1st is not a global day, so this is not important.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

if we get pr 1.2 1st of april. I would say the day is pretty important.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Sure, if you see that sign -> Maemo 5 / Fremantle (900+ viewing) then you can know for sure!

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Is PR1.2 will be ready by tomorrow?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

If not then the day after that

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

or the day after that :rolleyes:

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

or the year after that :D

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Anytime soon, only in theaters. :D
Is a mistery for everybody, but nokia.

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

but nokia wont say anything. There should be exact dates always, device's market availability, firmware updates etc.

easy for me to say hehe ...

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

Do you guys know if this will be released by product codes ie someone having it forst. I don't know which are my product code is. If it is released for certain codes..how to I change mine?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 

goto settings -> about

That will show you the long number version.

Or my healthcheck app will tell you both the long number and the readable version (ie PR1.1 or PR 1.1.1)

Not sure what yyou mean by product code - there are revisions, but only two that i can see (pre-release and release)
