PS: WIRELESS is a name of a store. I think sa megamall may store dun. :)

Friends,

Not sure if you already know this or if there's an existing topic, but here is something that may help you "migrate" or "keep" your existing contacts, messages, photos/videos. etc. database should you wish to uninstall/re-install Nokia Ovi Suite (or should you reformat your computer).

Hope this helps. :)

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

what's up all!

I'm having his problem and wondering if anyone could help me.
about my phone's touchscreen stopped working

Keyboard is working fine though cause when i press the keyboard in goes to my contacts and other stuff.

Here's the last thing I did last night before waking up this morning
noticed that the phone freezed up on me:

*phone is on google chat and facebook chat. I still recieve
fb chat messages but unable to click them

*phone is on silent mode

*calendar is set to alarm 12:00 noon

*the only thing i installed from extra devel is MAPPERO
& the app where you can switch on tablet mode and it
was installed like a month ago and is working fine.

* i can move the background HALFWAY but it won't go all the way
to the other background.

*x terminal is working by pressing Ctrl + Shift + X

* cpu proccesses around 60 - 90%

I woke up and the screen looks it froze on while the calendar
alarm sets off, i can see i have a new message(i.m. or text, idk).

That's about it. You think it's a BUG or something?

Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated, salamat!

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Hi Gang:

I sent a N900 to a friend in Iligan City and he received it yesterday Feb.17, 2011. He picked up a SIM card from Globe Communications and upon setting up the phone he came across a button that says: "Enter Code To Remove Operator Lock".

Has anyone come across that situation before? If so, where and how does he get this "operator code?"

He's guessing this code will unlock the SIM card so that he can view his minutes and other phone usage information....is that correct?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Hi Friend,

Please refer to these threads. Hope this helps. :)

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...=operator+lock

Mine has that too (all N900's perhaps), but it doesn't affect the way I use it.

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Thanks for those links. Most of the answers there (when given) I found on to be conflicting messages. However most seem to refer to situations in the UK and USA. One answer I thought did make sense was the code should have read: "Enter the "PUK" Code." This code request appears when the PIN is entered more than 3 times incorrectly. I just hope he has a PUK code available.

Even without this code the phone works properly, as yours does, but does the SIM card provide the usage information that Globe Communications phones provide? I'm told that this information let's you know how many minutes you have used and how many you have remaining along with other useful information.

Questions I have for members of this group:
[LIST=1]Has anyone else experienced the message: "Enter Code To Remove Operator Lock?" - How did you resolve that issue?
[LIST=2]Do any of your SIM cards provide usage information especially those who have a SIM card on the Globe network?

Thank you for your help and any additional information you can provide.

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Hi Al,

Not sure if you have visited or used any mobile phone here but in general, wireless mobile communications in the Philippines (although generally prepaid users) is much more convenient than in other countries. :) The information that you mentioned, i.e. letting you know minutes used/remaining is commonly called here as "balance inquiry" since we're mostly prepaid users so getting that information is an SMS away (usually free). Hence there is really no need to "unlock" the SIM nor could the N900's "Enter Code to Remove Operator Lock" be of any factor for mobile users here in the Philippines. :) Most likely you know this, but sharing just the same - based on statistical data (may not be the most recent), the SMS volume of the whole of Europe in a day is just 1/4 of that of the Philippines in a day.

EDIT:

Some other information about mobile communications in the Philippines that might interest you:

1. Rates in the Philippines are pretty much standardized no matter where in the country. One minute of mobile-to-mobile talk time is charged either PHP 5.00 to PHP 6.50 (basically if it's same-network it's for a lower charge).
2. There are also some "gimmicks" by mobile carriers where you can do per-second charging by entering some number combinations prior to the mobile number, so for example a PHP 6.00 one-minute call can be broken down to PHP 0.60 per second. Other schemes include 20-minute "blocks" of charges for the price of a one-minute call. And many others. :)
3. The Philippines is a small country unlike the US so we don't have roaming or local toll. We do have long-distance but with the widespread use of mobile phones here, that only applies to landline phones. If you're using a cellphone there's no long-distance charge anywhere in the country.
4. Therefore, given the statements above, "Balance Inquiry" gives us information on how much prepaid balance we still have instead of providing us with remaining minutes since we pretty much know how much a minute costs and it's almost the same for all carriers.

I'm able to see the "Enter Code..." thingy only because I intentionally pressed/tapped on the top dropdown when I'm on the "Settings" menu, but have never encountered it appear by itself. Perhaps you are correct that it may apply to other countries like the US and UK. Or maybe my whole explanation is wrong because we (as well as other members in the links I gave) may not know yet what that menu/option does.

You don't have to worry about stuff like the PUK Code here in the Philippines.

1. Prepaid SIM cards here in the Philippines are so cheap to the point that they are so disposable, so most Filipinos have more than one phone number (I know - it's crazy managing multiple numbers, lolz...). Average price of a prepaid SIM is about PHP 50.00 (just over a dollar).
2. Whenever we purchase a SIM card, it has the PIN, PIN2, PUK, and PUK2 code on the SIM card package anyway, so the only time to worry is if he loses it. :)
3. Most Filipinos know that the PUK/PUK2 codes are for unlocking (actually it's more of resetting to default 1234) the PIN/PIN2 if it was entered incorrectly multiple times.

Hope this helps. :)

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

its simply not an "open line" unit... it is locked to a carrier other than the sim card he bought just have it unlock

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Mga kababayan!
I just got my N900 on Monday, after using a N95 since 2007. Loving the way it's better (in every way).

Also, I don't think the N900 is sold locked, except in Europe.

P.S.: Has anyone overclocked the N900 to 1GHz in the 30C+ Manila heat?

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Hi Friend,

There is a tutorial for installing NITDroid (Android ported to N900) to the eMMC of the Nokia N900. eMMC is the 32GB Internal Memory Card. Here's the link: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=66459

Although this link talks about the full NITDroid tutorial, at the bottom part of the tutorial there are some links to download customized eMMC images that you can use to flash your phone. These eMMC images are customized only to give you either:

1. a 5GB "home" partition and a 27GB "MyDocs" partition, or
2. an 8GB "home" partition and a 21GB "MyDocs" partition.

Just download any of them, and then use them instead of the default "Vanilla eMMC" image when you flash your Nokia N900.

There are other manual methods of partitioning the eMMC but I thought of sharing this to you instead for convenience.

Hope this helps. :)

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Agree. :)

Nope, I don't want to risk it yet. :D

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

Hi Friend,

Nope, just download only the customized eMMC images and then flash your phone using that instead of the original Vanilla eMMC. You don't need to follow the instructions on the link I gave you. Only follow the instructions if you want to dual-boot your phone (Maemo and NITDroid).

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

There's a "backup" tool for the N900. :) Or you may use Ovi Suite.

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 

gaya ng sabi nya Back-up menu lang ang pwede magrestore ng complete image ng n900 kaso dpa ganun ka-stable kaya di ko pa sinusubukan, ang ginagawa ko sinesave ko na lang mga deb files ng mga kelangan kong apps...

excited nako sa darating na portrait mode sa cssu.

sir maraming salamat. nagawa ko na yung sinasabi mo. nagreflash nako and ung home ko ay 8gb na.. hehehe salamat ulit
