Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

So does PR1.1.1. There're some annoying bugs that have to live with everyday. It's possible that this RC is more stable than current PR1.1.1 or the other way round, but I rather update now, plus it's Sunday here, I have more time to configure and do stuffs with the phone.

Is it still 1st of May in europe? Who knows, they might still be on holiday. If they planned to release on May 5th (if true) or maybe longer, those who wait will be more impatient as days, or minutes, or seconds passed... There's no any information when it will be available, at least they should provide a date, people might be more prepared and patient instead of checking the updates every day or hour, etc. Probably they weren't confident with their firmware? Who knows.
At least previous MeeGo release there's a date and it was accurate.

Duke PR 1.2 Forever!
:o

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

It is not yet because it is still in testing. It is probably still in testing because of THIS

The meego release =/= a firmware update

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Then I misunderstood you. Sorry about that.

Yes it's supposed to update OTA between official releases, but then again if a user has been messing too much with devel and testing software it may not work, even with official firmwares.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

that is not what i mean mate

on other devices it is possible to format/put it back to box new with a few clicks , wiping all data from the device and making it factory fresh

for example on s60 devices you simply type in *#7370# or hold a few buttons down while booting up and this will put the phone back to factory new state

on the n900 you have to flash the emmc and the handset to get it to factory new

i heard pr1.2 would introduce a n900 factory reset method and wandered if this had been introduced into the leaked beta pr1.2 firmware so it is now possible to put the phone back to factory new state without having to flash the emmc and the handset

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

As far as I can tell, the new option on the drop down menu in settings Clear Device should do that.

I'm not trying, though!

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Are you serious coz mine showed just 8875 :(

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Yes, I am sure. I double-checked the phone was not overclocked and it was proprely updated. The result 10141 was the second one I got after I tweaked browser settings and closed luxus and SIXAXIS.

Cache should be set to 40Mb to speed up the browser...

But yeah, I really got 10141 w/o overclocking and with PR1.2.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Overclock to 750MHz shows 17874 marks.

For comparison, SRWare Iron on the PC? 328518

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Wat?

I downclocked (echo 599000 > blah blah blah) back to 600MHz and it shows exactly the SAME score (of 17874)?!

Edit : Overclocked to 1GHz, same score.

Wat.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

DrNokSNES runs like a champ i turned off speedhacks and turbomode its too fast with those settings on now!!!

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Any improvement in foto and camera after a new firmware?

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Mine always depends on the CPU and how high it is clocked. How come you have no difference?!?! And 17874 is a very good score.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

The front camera has significantly better picture than before. I am testing the video camera at the moment (main camera)... Someone said there was no lag at all in the captured video anymore.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Maybe because I didn't start a new instance of the browser...?

Going to try again.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

BTW I havent gotten Tear to work yet. It crashes and takes the whole desktop with it... After a few seconds everything is back to normal, though.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Okay, with a new instance of the browser, 1GHz returns 22703.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Profiles for night are available for camera (both pictures and videos). The video is less stuttering as it used to be. Taking photos is snappier. I still cannot say about the quality of the photos but focusing is faster and I haven´t gotten those "shaky" photos as much as before...

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

3G Video calling?

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Not present.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

599MHz, score of 12496.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

is it me or are the repos a bit slow in downloading apps coz every1 is reinstalling everything now?
btw love the update... the phone is way more responsive and so many cool new features which makes the phone nearer to perfection... only thing waiting on now is 3g video calling and newer flash support/ ability to use chatroulette on the n900

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

illegal downloads please shut down.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

how to get all those missing dependencies back?

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Does your screen calibration crash after first press of the sircle? Mine does.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

The OpenGL ES dependency is probably causing your error - we just have to wait for the app creators to update.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

New / better thing is calendar: scrolling through months is now smooth and you need to wipe vertically instead of old horizontal gesture.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

my repo of extras devel isnt working anymore and all data seems correct.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

According to my slightly increased blood-pressure, some aspects of corporate fora politics tend to amplify my ultra-leftist side.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

The old calendar also had vertical swiping?

Though the new motion is MUUCH nicer!

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

My repo of extras devel work? :confused:

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

but i installed pr1.2 and now i get an error when refreshing

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

One thing I noticed was that when you switch the device on, there will be a white light. Before the update it used to be green and blue (blinking and switching very quickly) but now It is purely white. Must be my imagination...

That reminds me, gotta test the notification light mangager.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

I can understand them removing links to the files, and asking that they don't be reposted.

What I don't understand is closing the thread. Now people will find info about the leaked fw elsewhere, possibly without getting accurate info about what it acualliy is, then later they come back and complain that "Nokia sux because I installed 1.2 and it broke {some program}". There is already enough complaining as it is.

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

It really was my imagination, the white light can be achieved by blinking all the three (RGB) leds continuosly. But yeah, pattern light editor or whatever that is seems to be working as well as before. I wonder what would not work after the update more than what works...

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Can any1 try portrait mode in browser since I couldnt

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

So they finally closed the thread? I wonder why did Nokia not notice or react to this any faster . And why was there a leak in the first place...

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

Try pressing ctrl + shift + o at the same time which activates it. After that press the "thank you" button on this post :) so it will surely work...

Re: What works better in the PR1.2
 

well I tried and it didnt change into portrait mode
