Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

Care to be a bit more specific? Works fine for me. Have you checked the port number in your connection hasn't set itself to a stupid number? I had this happen under previous release.

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

I can confirm this. After installing the extra decoders for Media Player, it doesn't recognize the songs on the MicroSD card *AND* also not on the internal memory card anymore. It seems something is wrong with the song database then? Because you can click on a media file (mp3,avi,mpg,etc) via file manager and the song/video is played (the new codecs, too). But after starthing the Media Player directly, it cannot find any song/video. There's the message: No songs, No Videos found, such that you can't choose anything to play from within Media Player.

After deinstallation of the extended codec package, everything works again fine.

P.S. I think it's this package, I'm talking about:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39299

In German it's called: Erweiterte A/V Formatunterstützung (0.3.4-1)

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

You are mistake. I'm author of xkblayouts and my packet is cheked and work on 1.2. I think it's problem of you enviroment. Try cleared install/

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

I also have this version installed and everything works fine. I can play video and audio right from media player without problems.

If it helps: I installed PFR1.2 from flasher but only FW, not eMMC.

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

I confirm also same as you and i also never flashed emmc.
Is it then a fault after flashing emmc?

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

I also have used flasher-3.5 with debian linux to update to PR1.2. Update OTA was not possible (don't know why, because I bought it this month and haven't installed too much (maybe due to an app which also installed QT4.6?). I just got the message from the Packet Manager, that I have to use the Nokia Flasher Software to upgrade to PR1.2 (or something like that).

I don't have flashed eMMC. Don't know why I should have done it or why anybody else wanted to do that :-)

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

just for info: have uninstalled : 3d/2d switcher applet, ext call log and call notifier as well as all themes exept the originals and android (which work fine) now my phone is fast and smoothly working again.
Hope this helps the developers to identify the probs. I have no glue how those apps are connected in some way.

BACKUP
Backup does not work for "Communication and Calendar"

1st install of PR1.2 by OTA, 2nd by FW - both without eMMC and 3rd install also with eMMC flash.
Problem is that PC-Suit did not sync with my Laptop Outlook and OVI overwrote my sync and emptied ALL my Outlook Calendar content, Now have 2 empty calendars - lost ALL my engagements for coming weeks BUT have historical Outlook from 2 months ago and the Backups (5 of them each showing content for Com & Cal and containing next weeks appointments).

Need BACKUP to work for Calendar pretty damned fast not to become a real disgruntled N900 user! What is the outlook for this? Same issue and discussion also in posts from GroenG.(but he has been lucky with his sync..., for me ;(

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

I'm not certain this thread is a good idea. It would be far more beneficial (and productive) to the developer of the malfunctioning app if you used the affected app's bug tracker instead of one thread. Otherwise, every developer has to read through pages of this thread and any other similar thread or search the thread for his app's name to see if anyone is complaining.

Which do you think will garner results faster?

• reporting through official channels with details
• stating "this program doesn't work" in one thread with numerous other complaints without any specificity

Go to http://maemo.org/packages and search for the offending app, then use the "Report a bug in this project's bugtracker" link. If they don't have a valid bug tracker, then it is a bug. In that case I would imagine a contacting the developer directly or a thread devoted specifically to that app would be better than this cluster f*cked melting pot.

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

I think the idea of this thread was to ascertain which apps have known issues after pr1.2, to give those people who are having issues a quick reference point and to delete those apps if applicable.
It appears that a lot of the minor bugs people are encountering following the update could be solved by removing some of the non-compatible apps. This also solves the problem of endless threads being started.

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

@markn: One needs to read a thread to know whether or not a program is acting up and decide to uninstall it or not? Call me silly, but I would imagine the following is possible with or without this thread:

* try to load an app
* it crashes
* uninstall that app

The only thread similar to this that I find useful is the one in which it was discovered that Titan's kernel caused numerous programs to act up (until they updated to the newest version of the kernel).

Meh, I suppose it's not really the existance of this thread that bothers me as much as the notion that it is superior to throw all bug reports in one thread versus the developer's established channel of reporting.

more about bringing all the known issues into one place as a quick reference point rather than having to search out each app individually.
I had a problem with Call Notify. luckily I spotted it on the active topics. otherwise I wouldn't have known there was even a problem with anything.
uninstalling Call Notify solved all the issues I had. (hanging, slowness, jittering favourites).

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

For users as well as for developers it might be more helpful having a clear, not comment bloated list of apps that might give problems. A wiki seems like a perfect place for that or even the first post in this list. Having each entry with a link to the appropriate posting desribing a specific problem might lead to a very fast overview of problematic apps.

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

Now THAT is a brilliant idea. Or if that is too much work, update the OP with a list (though just writing a wiki page would be less work in the end, arguably ;-))

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

A wiki page would have the advantage that everyone could edit it (and mark problems as solved e.g.), while the OP can only be edited by poster or admins.

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

try mobile hotspot !!! its working like a charm !!! plus encryption supported too ... all comes free unlike joiku !

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

mine "works" for about a minute before it spits up an error code

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

Got the same problem too.. And no my port numbers are right..
The problem is not to connect trough msn, but to tap on the "new IM" button and look if some one is online (it says: no contacts)
I think that haze and pecan must update the app/plugin or something due to PR 1.2

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

VertSMS no longer works since I upgraded

All it does it show its launching then nothing, tbh I havent looked into why

Also all of my contacts are there, but my conversations only show the mobile number not the contact name now and ive tried merging and it makes no difference

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

yes, there is quite a lot of people who have issues - best way to fix it is to email the developer and wait for an upgrade :)

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

Before you start reporting a faulty app to the developer it is imperative to make sure it is actually a fault of the app and not a self induced user problem.
That is why all faults can be reported on here and as they are already getting feedback which indicates in some cases NOT a problem with the app but another reason for the app not working properly is the very reason we need to do research first.

Developers can do a word search of the whole thread to get the information he needs for instance (please correct me if i am wrong).

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

Conversations Inbox Desktop Widget isnt working for me, tried reinstalling it but it didnt help =(

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

theres an update for that in extras-devel

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

about facebrick..

yeah. since fixed. worth noting also, that the problem was my stupidity, not 1.2 :(

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

No I did not know it's an N900 theme. Thought was referring to the android phone. My apologies to nosa101 :o

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

where can i get this mobile hotspot?! lol i need this ASAP. lmk thanks!

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

I just tried to install it again and now it works.
Weird. Last time, i rebooted and tried to update the media library by deleting and adding new stuff but nothing worked.
Now, it works out of the box :-)

Maybe it had some dependencies with things i now have installed?

Anyway, extra decoders for Media Player works now for me.

Re: PR1.2 list of apps that dont work.
 

Yes, i'm interested as well. Although, as far as i remeber, I read somewhere that you have to use the power_kernel such that the mobile hotspot works correctly. Is that true? Can somebody gives more details about functionality, setup and dependencies?

Thanks,
nexus

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

Catorise isn't working for me at the moment, I have posted in the developers thread on here, waiting for a response before creating a bug report.

Re: [Maemo 5] PR1.2 - List of apps that don't work
 

anyone know how to get the hotspot?
