WOW . . .why the hell did Nokia Do this??? WTF??? All the good apps are on Maemo.Org extras-testing & -devel anyway

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

Thanks so much worked like a charm!!!

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

So you yell for unstable apps and installed them, and now you complain that your device is unstable.

Hmm.

Did you think about your actions before blaming Nokia for something that you did yourself?

(Plus your exclamation mark and question mark keys seem to be broken as they are printed four resp. five times in the subject line though you probably just pressed them once...)

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

The device isn't "UNSTABLE" ??? . . . . It was PERFECTLY stable BEFORE I reflashed the new update and it is PERFECTLY STABLE NOW!!!!


Nokia did this on purpose . . . . Now way adding additional sources to your app list MAGICALLY makes an update button disappear.


Come on . . . . they track your device if you install "ALTERNATIVE" apps so they can void your warranty!

NOT COOL :mad:


PS - I like exclamation marks:D

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

@mrebanza: Hmm you need to read up more about what you install. The confirmation message pop ups and 3rd party install confirmations are there for a reason.

IMHO you're a little out of your depth here.

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

yes, your device might have been stable. but the software you installed came with a warning that it could make your device unstable or cause problems later.

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

Yes, I know that the 3rd party Application Warranty Voiding confirmation messages are their and most likely their for a reason . . . but that does not mean that its a "BUG" or a "GLITCH" from a 3rd party App that caused the firmware update button to disappear?

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

Nonetheless, it is true that (a) if any users were to restrict themselves to never using programs out of those repositories, they would have tablets with unacceptable limitations for many users, (b) it is known that many of the programs in those repositories are perfectly safe, and (c) it is known that many Nokia-approved programs are not particularly safe.

So I happily ignore the Nokia restrictions, but I also happily reflash when necessary :)

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

actually it does. 3rd party app can break depencencies and that causes the disappearance of the button.

Re: HELP!!!! How do I UPGRADE?????
 

I'm impressed. And I thought that *I* was paranoid. :-P

Pleae provide the ethereal dump that shows your MAC ID being send to Nokia everytime you install some 3rd party stuff.
Oh wait, those evil-doers probably even encrypted it, darn!!!!
Cunning. Veeeery cunning.
