Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Sooooooo....even though I had 77mb of rootfs memory, it refused to let me update. Had to reinstall 1.1 through Nokia Updater, then do the OTA for 1.2. So its finally doing it, then the task of changing boot vid, transitions ect, and finding a stable OC kernel for 1.2, after using it at 900 i cannot get used to how slow it feels!

you should have used the video out cable...had to do this previously when my uncle smashed his N95 screen!

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

I wasn't talking about application manager, I was talking about application launcher (the app menu) which was supposed to be also searchable via typing letters in menu.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

in case you have issues with OTA update in the application manager
you can have a go with

apt-get dist-upgrade ( as root )

anything around 50M of rootfs should be OK I think.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Oh good, operation failed mid update and has frozen!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Considering i'm due an upgrade and im loving the Desire at the moment, my N900 is not doing itself many favours!!

Battery out, and we'll try again....

Mine was disabled too and the FM Transmitter is gone from the settings. :(
Installed FMTX Faker application. It's still missing from Settings, but it's there in the media player. Tried it and it's working. yay!!!!!! :)

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

just use the flasher tool...take all of 3-4 min and much easier!

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

I'll have to look into it, is it a PC program?

Anyone now not seeing the point of having 'categories' in app manager? I just go to ALL and type the first few letters in.

Suppose its handy if you want to browse but dont know what you want.

What else is installed on the roofts?
Surely the apps are installed on the 'home' directory. I've used apt-get clearcache to free a few MB's but would like to know what else takes up the space.

Note: Cant see the OTA yet. London. Vodafone. Global FW

ok - i've cleaned up as much as I could from rootfs, conky says I have 59MB free, but still no OTA update... <sulks>

Re: Nokia N900 PR1.2 Officially Released Today
 

This just happened to me after OTA. Put in code, then pin, just with the boxes and then I had a nonfunctional display. Background there, pink box where the status stuff is (app menu etc) and boxes for any text. Menu worked but couldn't see what was happening, and launching Conversations caused a reboot. Now flashing. Fun!

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

doesn't matter about vodafone, update over wifi. if the vodafone sim is causing problems remove it and carry on.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

Conversations Widget doesn't show up in the "Add Widgets" menu with my phone. Anyone else getting this problem?

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Tried this with 59MB free, got the error - you don't have enough free space in var/chache/apt/archives/

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26

anyone having issues with the email using nokia messaging?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

If its not showing in app manager its no because you dont have enough space (59mb is fine afaik) its because you have either the global or the vodafone firmware, so far OTA update has only been rolled out for the uk generic firmware version.
If you have the global fw then it shouldn't be long (tomorrow morning at the latest), but if you have the voda fw they haven't even signed off the previous fw version yet, so if you want pr1.2 you will need to reflash using the flasher 3.5 utility.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

I have 56MB free: "You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives"

Application Manager still refuses to update.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

have you tried moving your cache from the rootfs ?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

Mine was failing at around 55-56MB free (UK version 203)

Now downloading after I got it up to 58MB free with some serious application uninstallation. :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

So we should expect the OTA release in the US Thursday?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

ah .. seems i making more room in rootfs I have now rendered microb useless ... the joy of updates...

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

Thanks mods for changing the title,
it'll now be clear to everyone not on UK fw why OTA is not showing.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

Its showing up in app manager, but it just won't install ! It say I need to use the Nokia Updater, but thats not been updated to the new firmwear (so it says you already have the newest software) and OTA won't go .. so I (and a bunch of others I guess) are stuck...

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU in rest of world - May 26

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU in rest of world - May 26
 

ok - going to reload the old firmware via PC updater, then see if I can update OTA to the new one.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU in rest of world - May 26
 

A question for all the guys who already installed PR1.2:

Any improvements on the Google Sync issues? Does it finally work or is it still messed up?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU in rest of world - May 26
 

Thats how i had to do it. Make sure you back up!!!

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

Hi all, been lurking for a while now, both me and my girlfriend got an N900 a few weeks ago and everything's great, this truly is THE ONLY phone which will do what I want, those little bits it doesn't do I don't ever use anyway..mms..please.. this is 2010!!! So yea..proper loving this phone..sorry...internet tablet lol.

On Orange in Portsmouth using a handset with a Vodaphone product code and uk 203 Firmware (re-flashed from 205).

Exactly the same thing happened, I saw the update OTA but NSU said I had the latest version (PR1.1.1).

So I just flashed it with the latest 203 firmware using flasher 3.5 (which btw does work on windows 7, here's a clue, properties > compatibility mode)

If you want to flash with new firmware I assure you it's piss easy, all i did was googled 'Flash firmware N900' followed the tutorial on the first or second page and result. Obviously you'll need to change the commands slightly, but only as far as changing the file name in the dos command, nothing complex or anything a simple crtl+C ctrl+V cant sort out.


Sorry for the rambling first post but I consider it almost obligatory the amount you lot prattle on : ) lol

Tomorrow apparently!

Im on global fw so have to wait too:(, ive waited for over 2 months now though, so one more day wont hurt.
Plus it gives me time to make backups of the files ive modded and clear as much rootfs space as possible, im currently on about 62mb, which i think is cool but im going with the higher the better!
