If an application you are using such as the Browser freezes up and is unresponsive. Click the power button and choose End Current task. Just like in task manager in windows.

When you connect your n900 to a Mac in Mass Storage mode, then delete some files via the Mac, this folder is created:

/home/user/MyDocs/.Trashes

This contains the deleted items (think Trash or Recycle Bin), which could, eventually, take up a lot of valuable space.

It's safe to delete this folder from the xterm (rm -R /home/user/MyDocs/.Trashes). I freed up about 6gb of space in doing so. >_<

Found a new one accidentally which I've not seen anywhere: -

Similar to typing a letter to jump to your contacts, if you enter a number it immediately brings up the phone. So e.g. from the desktop, blue arrow and P brings up the phone interface with a zero ready entered.

Only minor issue then is that the blue arrow is then not needed for the rest of the number so you have to remember to let go of it. :p

This is the quickest way to add a new contact - if someone gives you their number, you can type the number in, then from the top menu bar select New Contact to enter their name details.

I hope this aint off-topic but forgive me if it is though....Download the Wifi switcher app to disable WLAN which in turn prolongs battery life!

Better yet, there's an app that disconnects idle connections after a while.

It does the same thing as Ctrl backspace.

FYI: It's the same as hitting the menu/multi-select button in the upper left corner.

for those of you having trouble viewing TMO on the n900 and don't like the minimalist theme solution (like me.) you can swipe in the cursor to a space between posts, lock it, and scroll the missing parts of the page with the right arrow key.

sorry poor explanation but if anyone can put it more elequently then feel free!

This might be a silly question but how exactly do you swipe, everytime i try the page seems to just move to the left :eek:
