That is right - this update is 90MB in size - takes some time downloading it.

Initially even I had thae same issue with OTA update - it asked me to connect to PC and do update using the NSU.

But as Peter@MAemo mentioned in these threads that is because of come conflicting libs which might have been installed from apps from Devel or Extras.

So just remove any app you might have installed from devel or testing.
Fr me I uninstalled most apps - like Flipclock, Quicknote and the OVI games too.

But still had issue with the update.
Next I uninstalled GrandCentral dialer - sill didnt solve it.

At last I noticed I had installed the Google Latitiude app - uninstalled it and then went back to the update - and it worked this time with the OTA update.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

You got to be kidding me right. Man, that really sucks....because i can't identify which program to uninstall to get it to work with OTA update. And i can't update with the PC without the damm update software are not compatible with Windows 7. Maybe the reason it isn't giving me OTA update is because i don't have enough memory in the root folder?? I mean...it lets me update using OTA with the last minor update ...why not this version?? C'mon man!!

And did it keep asking you for a backup?? I am sick of it keep asking me for backup because i already backed UP!!! This is getting so ******ed!!

Hey guys, I've been searching through as many pages as I could but my question remains unanswered.

Has the battery draining issue been resolved? Anyone notice anything different on their battery depletion?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

ive been using my phone all day and battery level is still high. I am a happy camper now, i also notice my signal isnt jumping from 2g to 3.5 g and all inbetween as much so maybe that had something to do with it.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Nothing seems to have changed for me since the update. My battery was good even before all the updates arrived.I THINK there is an app you can install which measures what apps are using power wise.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

thats very good to hear guys. that was such a major flaw that needed attention! thanks for the speedy response, ill continue to look out for any battery improvements.

I CAN'T update via OTA!!
 

I uninstall all the applications and still it says "To update your device to this version of the operating system you must use the Nokia software update application on your PC. Connect the device to your PC via a USB cable and launch the application."

What am i going to do? I can not believe my rootfs say only 33MB FREE after uninstalling all the apps...that is impossible. How do you restore to factory settings?? I don't know what to do.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

i am using the software updater in windows 7. i just set the compatibility mode to vista SP2

Re: updating new fw requires pc?
 

I was fighting all day to get the damn thing. First it kept telling me I didnt have enough battery charge but it was indicating it was 3/4 charged. Later on when I got home I put it on the charger and it kept telling me I didnt have enough space. I had to delete a couple things I had downloaded. The sad thing is this phone is suppose to have a decent size hard drive and yet I had more room on my blackberry than what they will let me do on this.

Re: updating new fw requires pc?
 

like said before:
pc suite is most likely triggered because you have enabled devel and/or testing repos. or installed any app out of them.
you could also try to do it via terminal and apt-get: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=473178

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Updated it yesterday and battery life is fine (it was fine for me to begin with).

My problem now is that when browsing network shares on a DLNA server, all videos (divx/xvid) have stopped playing - I only get audio. Before the update, I was able to watch them just fine.

Anyone else experience this? The 2 default videos that come with the device work fine.

Other clients don't have this problem with the DLNA server.

... or follow these instructions to flash your device manually

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I had the same problem. I disabled all other than Nokia Catalogs in in the Application Manager while doing the update and it helped.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

i got it.

now, can anybody tell me when is the flash player going to be updated???

any ideas? :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I'm finally getting my device today and wondering should I use flasher or SSU. I guess it doesn't really matter, but just wondering.

What is the recommended way with devices on the market that have not yet been sold but have the old firmware. Is it okay to flash the device before even turning it on once?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

For me battery life greatly improved with the PR 1.1 release. YMMV, but I'm really happy now. :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

OVI games are harmless to the update. And even with 40 MBfree on rootfs, you can update OTA.
If not, then it's not due to space on rootfs.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

That probably depends what packages you already have installed. Some people have reported needing 60M for the update to proceed.

Re: updating new fw requires pc?
 

Its because you have an app installed which conflicts with the update.

I removed ioquake3 and it worked for me. So remove that if you have it installed (or openarena)

Cant update to latest firmware
 

i cant seem to get my phone to upgrade. Ive tried to do it OTA but it tells me that i need to connect my phone to the computer.
But when i try to use NSU it does not find any new firmware updates.
Ive also tried flashing my phone. It connects to the computer fine in flash mode (usb sign in corner) however when flashing, it says suitable device not found, waiting.

Ive tried to clear as much rootfs space as possible by removing the extra-devel categories and any apps that i had downloaded.
I managed to upgrade to the earlier firmware release this week, but that was only after i had freed up some rootfs space. It now is
60.6mb availabe so it is in 73% use. The only apps that i have are Angry birds and sound recorder.

Thanks

Re: I CAN'T update via OTA!!
 

I updated my N900 using the NSU but it didn't remove anything at all.. Only some background pictures and my applications where gone.. So.. I used flasher-3.5 and.. poof :D

Well.. If you decide to do something (reflashing for example) do it for good :P

Oh btw, OTA update didn't work for me either :(

Re: Cant update to latest firmware
 

Did you read the Wiki article about flashing the N900? http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware (currently down for maintenance) there it says "N900 users press u button and plug the usb cable. Release button when flashing process begins"

This worked for me.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Please help!!
I can't send any SMS after I updated my phone with this update :(

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I went to do the update via OTA, but it was only bringing up the update for previous 1? 44
Do i need to install this update before i can install the major 1? I have dwnloaded the latest firmware file and im thinking of flashing it via flasher but my question is this do i need to do that lil update before or does the new 1 have it integrated within it?

Re: Cant update to latest firmware
 

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

The 44 update is required before you can install the 51 update OTA.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

ahh damn!! i tried installing that last time via the NSU and it crashed at 1 sec left! so i reflashed back to 42 the way it was.

Hmm....i guess ill wipe the emc then try it again via NSU

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

Hello, please seeking you advice here, as I really can't send any SMS since I had my last update.. anyone has the same issue?
How can this be solved? I restored my system settings, and restored my last backup before this last update.. but nothing happened, i still can't send any sms! it says delivery failed!
I also checked my Center number and it was ok..

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

the flashing info site is down :( so much for that wikki page

Re: I CAN'T update via OTA!!
 

I had the same issues, but did he following

made a backup of everything with the included app to a memory card

uninstalled everything i downloaded from extras and devel

my N900 then allowed the update OTA

I then restored the backup, and a menu appeared in the download manager about restoring applications, I let it do it's thing and everything was downloaded automatically, even my preferences were kept...

Give that a go!!

Hi,

I have installed the new firmware, but I am still not able to check my minutes or usage by using #646#, it says incorrect number?

I was seeing a some website this PR 1.1 has a fix for it, looks like it is not fixed or do i need to do anything to get that done?

Regards,

RR

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

This is still not fixed. PR1.1 has a fix for some of the special codes but not all of them.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.1 released today (January 14)
 

I really didn't want to use a PC to upgrade, so tried to do my upgrade entirely on the phone. The application manager sat for a moment and then said I needed to plug it in to usb and use the pc... So I tried apt-get dist-upgrade and it claimed I needed 100M. I had 50M on / free.

I moved /var/cache/apt/archive to a symlink to /home/ hoping that the download of the .deb files in to there wouldn't eat as much disk and then when overwriting the apps they were installing over the top of, I'd be good to go. Unfortunately as I watched it run through the upgrade my / quickly started to drop to 0% free, after it got there the used space increased towards the same as the total filesystem size! (Using the 5-10% root only allocation some filesystems have I assume).

I quickly looked for some big wins, like moving /usr/lib/libQt* libs to /home and symlinking back so stuff could still work, also I was confused by my for looped du commands and tried to move python out of the way. I knew about the bind mounted optification of it, I just assumed enough other parts of python were still eating space.

The panicked moves of stuff helped greatly but I did eventually run out of space. I found more space as best I could and reran the dist-upgrade. I had to use dpkg --configure -a and let that complete before it would carry on, but eventually I was able to finish. A reboot command later and crossed-fingers and it did some progress bar firmware flashing thing (I assume the equivalent of running lilo ;)) and it all came up perfectly!

I think I managed it, and in the process had almost cleared all the space it needed to be able to do it entirely on / even if I hadn't symlinked the archive/ directory.

Stuff that broke:

As I'd tried a mv of python2.5 to /home it was slowly wiping stuff and only failing when it realised it couldn't move a mount point that was busy.

This meant python was quite upset, and apt-get was not playing ball at all, crashing out badly. I found that the .postint scripts for the python modules which couldn't be reinstalled or removed, contained a call to update-python-modules -i /path/to/special/package/file. This was failing causing non zero return codes upsetting everything. The files it was pointing at were not there. Removing this test, let me install the modules, which included fixing this very problem. I'm still sure a few python modules need a reinstall but now I've got apt/dpkg happy (apt-get -f install completes cleanly now), I can --reinstall packages as and when I need. I just hope none were core for parts of the phone, and that they were only needed for stuff like mirror*, that I'd installed before. Of course this is a fault of basically typing the equivalent of rm -rf /usr/lib/python* and then expecting stuff to work. Not really PR1.1 related.

*This update almost completely fixed the problem with the front camera, it's still a little bit noisy and poor quality for a 0.3MP cam, but WOW much better than before and pretty much usable IMO for vid.conf calls. Thank you!

Stuff that I realised:

The reason I needed 100M was due to a number of things I had installed which weren't using /home/opt, and it seems that during install, stuff is left by the side of stuff which is live so on the next reboot it can be moved in to place and the old stuff removed. This makes sense for some stuff like libc, but it was a great pain for how much space on / was required.

The biggest offender was the latitude updater with a 20+MB libQtWebKit.so.* in /usr/lib. The next biggest are the offscr- apps which use massive libQt* libs in /usr/lib.

If I'd removed these first then not only would I have had much more space left, but also the number of updates would have decreased so I'd have needed less space altogether.

As far as I can tell, you need 50ish MB on / free and very few / using apps installed. I had enough space but many apps which used / and had updates in the pipeline.

If the install had been staged in parts this would have worked. If offscr had not used libQt, or not needed it in /usr/lib then this would be much better.

So far I'm 98% certain I've not buggered up my phone by kludgingly klunking through the dist-upgrade ;) It all seems fast, smooth and better since the update. I'm pleased. But I do wonder why things like /usr/ aren't mounts in to the block device.
