maemo.org - Talk - [Closed - Leaked PR1.2] Info and Discussion thread

Im failry confident that skype video calls do NOT work (for me at least) i have tried all day over wifi, i have the option there it says video call under my mates name, i call him he picks up i can see my video but that is it. He said when i call it just comes up as i normal call not a video call nor the option to see my video. And he cannot video call me same thing his call just comes up as normal call.

Sure the Skype Video calling does work (under "ideal circumstances"):

-My N900 on Wifi and my windows desktop have an open video call for more than an hour and a half now. Slow and lousy video but stable nevertheless.
(As a matter of trying to crash PR 1.2 I am stressing it a little bit with Skype videocall - it takes almost 100 procent CPU.
Also the graphic display is showing artefacts (whit snow pixels on black area's) after an hour of full stress. This might be due to the graphic driver. I have noticed the graphic performance to be very quick since PR 1.2. Hehe maybe this PR 1.2 freezes the point where they had to experiment with over-clocking the graphic chip :D :p

-Videocalling to OSX Snow Leopard based Skype is not possible with my setup (video does not come up on Mac PC nor does it on N900 :(
-To enable video in Skype calls: not always you have a video call option readily available next to an online skype contact, but you sure can select the video enable from the Skype menu on the N900 as soon as the voice call is established
-During the Skype videocall incoming GSM calls will receive an occupied tone and the N900 displays a message "missed call". :cool:

Is this a joke dude??? I hope you're just joking there.

Otherwise, i'm noting the sacrifice needed to get a firmware release. Was there a specific chants involved?

Could happen to anyone. I must admit that I cannot go to the toilet without it..:rolleyes:
I have now invested in one 0,5 Euro wriststrap to prevent any likewise disaster.
However going into the wild and using 3G might also prevent a sh*tty thing to happen to the N900. :o

Your not missing on too much.. Honestly.
- Skype and Gtalk video calls are working as they wish.
- Portrait mode in browser works only 10% of the time. (was better in PR1.1.1)
- I don't feel a big improvement in performance.

Only things I really like now :
- More free rootfs
- Media player widget works.
- Volume control when phone is locked works.
- Long press = blue char

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread

What I really like about it:
- Phone app now works properly as portrait mode. (no irregular auto-switching)
- Much more free rootfs.(90MB free with many apps and all repo's enabled)
- No more "More" icon in the lancher menu.
- HAM improvements. (type to search, update all button, no delay after uninstalling an app)
- No SMS option on non-mobile numbers.
- Seems to use less cpu during idle. (only Xorg uses like 3-4%)
- mscim + mscim-hangul (korean) input works better.
- Multi-tasking seems more responsive. (dunno. it just does)

What I don't like:
- MicroB is a little more buggy imo. Buttons don't always show up.

@cashclientel: dang. I hope you can get it fixed/repaired/replaced somehow. Or that it's cheap enough for you to just get another new one.

Perhaps someone should moderate our new stolen goods for sale thread then too. :)

By the way there were questions in that post of mine you quoted.

Maybe I should have explained. By moderated I mean visibly active participation by moderators rather than silent post handling.

As for a "stolen goods for sale" thread, I'm sure if it's brought to the attention of any moderator with jurisdiction in the relevant subforum (or entire forum for super moderators) then it will be dealt with. I don't think I've seen it in the many threads that have activity every day.

As for questions you mention, could you be specific on what you're looking for? Do you want answers from me, from another moderator, from any moderator, ??? FYI if I don't answer a question I may not have an answer and would rather say nothing than make a feeble and possibly wrong attempt.

Guess I'm not clear on the ridiculous part-- electronic devices are highly susceptible to water.

That said, I know of people who accidentally ran their phones through the washing machine and later got them to work. In cases like that prompt action with a warm hair dryer can do wonders. The longer it sits with any moisture, the less likely it will work properly again.

what does the week of base build help? anything above build 1 and no one except nokia knows when fw has been compiled. day after base build? week? month?

Thank god it doesnt't work just renaming it, sheesh.

where did that come from?

sorry that i speculate about ugly truth but tell me how you can know leaked fw is 12-9? if there are nothing to compare to, all you have is the filename and that isn't so hard to change, is it?

I'm not too sure what you guys are actually arguing for but you can at least narrow a build down to a week of the year.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread

I am sorry about the merge in teh case as it was intentionally started as HK thread but turned into "but the leaked RC PR1.2" one. I am curious how long it will take till people understand that hijacking doesn't help anyone.

EDIT: I 'll try to RE the HK stuff later on!

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread

the pr1.2 that i "hacked" onto my n900 is and will be as good as the pr1.2 that we are all still waiting for. everything is running smoothly with all the new features that i anticipated.

skype video calling is cool :D

Perhaps that's because it is the most sensible thing you have said so far. That's not saying much though.

I keep waiting for the examples of "damage to your device."

Everyone should know by now I'm pro-don't-flash-random-crap-to-your-phone... but I've seen that tweet all over now just because it's "from nokia" and yet still haven't seen any clarification.

Nokia i can honestly tell you that MY N900 has never worked so well in all respects since the day i got it and if it was'nt for your DEAD engineers we would have had the OFFICIAL update months ago that did at least some much needed fixes so blame yourselve's for this and realise your just too slow for mankind.
