IOQuake. I got that installed. Ill try and remove it now.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

61.7Mb free, 72% in use.

Just removed IOQuake3.

Couldnt they made the rootfs a little bigger FFS!

removing IOquake3 FIXED MY ISSUE :)

BTW, if I just install ioquake3 again after the update, can I just play it straight away since the .pk3 files are still on the phone? Or do I need to set it all up again?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I had 62mb and it went though fine - other posts and in here have mentioned 45 - but i'd suggest 60 is a nice sexy figure for safety :)

After it i had 55mb free - so lost about 7/8mb.

There are many posts on here about cleaning the rootfs - but i went from 30mb to 62mb by doing a few simple steps

• Disable extras-testing and extras-dev catalogues
• <Reboot>
• Go into X-Terminal (You need the root access app - rootsh - to continue this part)

<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
Reboot

Check your rootfs space again :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I did that before. its downloading the update now!! :D

ioquake3 stopped it from downloading for some reason :S

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Why not?
Did u get the previous update? (it is a requirement).

or do it thru PC Suite, but be careful cuz it remove the icons of all ur installed applications.
Just in case, do a backup of ur files, images, contacts,...

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Hi there. Since i updated my n900 now i got a white light bliking from 10 to 10seconds. The same light that becomes blue with a sms or orange while charging. What might it be?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I agree!!!
I know the argument about cost, an extra chip etc etc...
But 1gb would have been alot nicer :) - also would remove 60% of the posts on this forum though!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

from a End User perspective this is not an update, this is just a fix/patch of their work.
As End User I see nothing new. just some things fixed/tunned.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

So far so good. Latest firmware applied. No errors and MFE 2003 works (Email, Calendar, Task and Contacts) like a charm. Winner all round really..

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Quite a list of fixes. Shows that first focusing on fixing and optimizing was the right choice. I haven't had any reboots etc. but the list does address several smaller annoyances.

Especially impressive is that Nokia seems to be listening and exchange with community seems to be steadily increasing. Thank you for your hard work.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I also noticed that the front cam had been updated, since the green field is now gone.

One more thing i noticed but forgot to mention in my previos post was that for some reason, my fam guy episodes suddenly worked.

Before i would just get audio and no video, but thats all in the past now i guess :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

you are my new hero...followed your instructions above and went from 47mb free to 63mb free....thanks Monkey:D

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I'm afraid we have to wait another decade till PR1.2 is released.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I did the previous update.

Nevermind, now I can see the PR1.1 update :D Downloading....
(Backup done)

Can't wait for the Exchange 2003 support

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

must say thankyou maemo/nokia etc.

i havent checked the ovi maps update out yet.
but i like email fixes
v happy

maps update is a very good step in the right direction!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Apparently after the update, all the notification lights are turned back on, go back into Settings>Notification Light and turn off the ones you don't want. The one specifically you are referring to is Device On

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

ok, i've updated ok but now can't get online through vodafone uk...any ideas anyone?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Hum... I have 53.0M free in rootfs after the update, which I did the hard way (flash). I did move apt-cache because I first tried to update via apt because the obvious way didn't work. The 53 megs are there even after I restored most of the programs with the backup-app I had before the flash.

That is all.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

i second that.
This last week my n900 as started realise its potential with the updates, Ovi store and the great mods starting to appear from the community. been a awesome week so far.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

im 9% through my update atm.

Funnily enough, it told me i dont have enough battery for the update lol! even tho i was at about 60% charge! So i plugged into a PC, via USB and now its updating.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

You Sir, are more then welcome :)

I have a brainstorm for a "SaveMe" button if you fancy voting on it - hopefully it will perform a similar function to clear rootfs space when urgently required - without the user having to be too technical :)

There are a few other ways to clear space - but realistically that should help most :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

got the update....:)
installing!
ll give the feedback as soon as possible.!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

85% at the moment :D

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

OMG it didnt update?

It says im on version 1.2009.44-1.203.4?


Any ideas? I didnt get the message which said "Update successful either!"

Phone turned off, then I got the "installing software" and it went upto 100% and restarted and nothing :*(

I just checked the app manager, and its listed there as downloaded. So Im trying again. This time its a different type of update

Now I got a Nokia screen with a bar slowly moving? WTH?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

You did it while phone was connected thru USB >.>
try again full charged or connected to ur regular charger.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Yep I did. Im going it again now. Now its updating with a Nokia screen and a bar... well see.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Had to clear up space, but the big download and install went smoothly. (Over-the-air update via T-Mobile in Austin, TX, USA, if anyone is interested.) All my stuff still there afterwards. Some new stuff I have noticed:

• Better phone log - I can actually see what number my contact called from and call them back on the same number. (No "open contact" button, though.)
• Applications are alphabetized on the More Apps list. Not just stuck in order they were last loaded/updated
• Front camera much improved. Still not great, but passable with decent light. Big bar on the right is gone. (Tested with the mirror app, which even before this upgrade would impress even the most stalwart fanboi of other phones.) This should make the front camera useable, though maybe not for quality video calls yet.
• Holding down the 1 key on the keypad dials voicemail...just like on other phones.
• Snappier performance, though that may be my imagination...we'll find out throughout the next few days if it stays snappy or was just from the reboot
• I have become thinner and better looking (verfied by using the mirror app)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

you meant to get a nokia screen with blue/white bar once it reboots then update finishes

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Success!

Noo i just noticed a scratch on the screen :(

Installed Update vis NSU...apps gone but still taking up space
 

^^ Im not sure if this has been discussed, but i scoured through the update topic and no one else seems to be having this problem. Any help?

edit: i have 1.15 gb left for installable apps..with no extra apps even on my list..

Re: Installed Update vis NSU...apps gone but still taking up space
 

Application files in /opt not being cleared by flashing firmware has been explained by fanoush.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

The thread "Installed Update vis NSU...apps gone but still taking up space" with two posts has been merged into this thread.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I can't update my phone with the NSU, neither with OTA (I have 35 mb rootfs)

I tried to install the firmware with NSU.
It downloaded 165MB, but when it tries to install, it gives me an error (see screenshot)

I use: Windows XP SP3 (32-Bit)
I already installed the update 1.0.1 a couple days ago

My USB ports are not hubs.... (I installed a lot firmwares on different Nokia phones)

What now?
(I rebooted the N900, also rebooted XP.. no luck :( )

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Holy sh** ! Yeah, i've made it haha..updated through FOTA... took a while..but haha...i'm running 51.1 haha... now everything is perfect... muhehe...wonderland... haha..great update!!!!

Re: Installed Update vis NSU...apps gone but still taking up space
 

It was explained..but not clarified..on how to clear opt.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I updated via WIFI with it charging via USB.
If you experience a very slow and almost non-responding Maemo after the first restart, just relax.
At least, after I rebooted another time the N900 came out snappier than before.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

try optfying python so you can get more space to do it OTA, tutorial is on wiki below
http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

btw i did the update while connected to the computer in massstorage-mode via usb.
worked fine, settings -> product information sais "Version 2.2009.51-1"

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

anyone else having a very slow and often disconnecting winscp/putty connection since the update.

Had no problems with the update itself, went down smoothly, but now when I connect from my pc with either putty or winscp, the connections keeps failing or taking a really long time and then still disconnects.

never had this before the update.

Also I had reboot issues before the update, changed my pmconfig back to the original and have not had a reboot yet.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I already did that :P
I also disabled the other repos to gain more rootfs.

thats why i have 35 (well... 33,1MB to be exact) left as rootfs....


*sigh* :(
