Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Thanks Bill, that is interesting to know, I would suggest that one way to read that would be that there are no newer supported firmware versions for your phone on NSU, and that it does not by itself imply that the version you are currently running is supported.

It is good to see that the NSU can read the firmware version with your firmware and doesn't throw an error.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

It states the current FW as 10.2010.12-9

Thats the FW its saying is SUPPORTED now i think thats kinda ironic coming from official NOKIA software dont you?.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

it says the same thing for my pr 1.1. So what's your point?

The NSU tells you when there is an official update out. There isn't any out so why should it say otherwise.

Where you expecting it to say, "Look here, mother****er. Your **** is the new **** so **** off"?

/me pinches himself to make sure he's still alive.
Yep. I am.

The great thing about this phone is that it hides how complicated it really is.
Updates take time. You want a tested update, correct?

Don't worry, there will be an update.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

The only thing complicated about the N900 is the person using it.
Dont hold your breath for the update is all i can think of saying right now.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

ya. you're right. I must not know what I am talking about.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

How come there is noone from Hk on this thread? Surely there must be one person?

It's mentioned earlier in the thread that there could be problems for those in HK who may need to reflash there phones, if that is the case then could someone from HK not "have a problem" with there phone and ask nokia what to do?

Seriously this whole Pr1.2 thingy is turning into a bad episode of LOST! for every answer there's like a million and one knew questions! hehe

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

From my own (non-engineer) experience, the most important factor when dropping electronic devices in water is speedy removal of current (remove the battery ASAP!). Then let the thing dry well (and I mean well, since little drops in confined spaces tend to stay wet a long time). Finally, reassemble, turn on, and prey.

I dropped my n900 while talking a bath like the second day I got it (it dove right to the bottom...). Luckily, no harm was done.

Good luck.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

So far no problems with leaked 1.2 here.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

No problems using your awesome D-THEME SimpleBlackGreen either on this leaked fw.
It's currently my favourit theme. Awesome work and thank you. =)

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Leaked, yes. PR1.2 RC, not even close.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I'm glad it's not even close as this leaked fw is much better than PR1.1.1 and if even this is still very premature, I can only expect the official PR1.2 to be even better. can I ask, do you know if it'll be released this month at least?

btw. you are up early. I'm in Sydney. =P

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Could someone post a screenshot of the new email widget? Sorry if it has already been posted but those 1.2 threads are too fast!

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I flashed the leaked PR1.2 because I thought it was valid Nokia-release. Topic named as "PR1.2 IS RELEASED!!" lead me to some blog from where I downloaded the firmware. First I checked tablets-dev from Nokia and thought that it's just not there yet.

Anyways. Seems like PR1.2 has made the battery last much better than earlier version. I charged my phone full almost 48 hours ago. It now shows that I still got ~3/4 of battery remaining. I've been using my phone relatively much. Normally it would had shut down already.

Rootfs has 97.3M available versus before flashing I had ~20M. Almost all same applications installed.

So far, I've had only one problem. Earlier today I received a call which I couldn't end. I just wasn't able to bring front the Phone-application.

Looking pretty promising.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Your recollection of that thread differs greatly from mine. Mind you, I am getting on a bit.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I again have a grave suspicion about thumbnailerd and renderer. It consumes whole memory and it takes 10-20secs to swap out it before you are able to answer.

This happened long before, on PR1.0

Good news that it will not repeat after thumbnailerd processes all media files. But you may need reboot after that.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

btw, this leaked fw has much faster volume changing. Holding down or up flies across the volume bar. It's much better imo.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Hey!!! you can get it to work with either of these tricks:

1.

- put atleast a litre of rice in a container be it tupperware box or something else like a bowl and put your n900 in the bowl. make it dive :D

- wait for 3days

- now it should work


2.

- Get the n900 disassembly manual PDF,using google

- get a torx #6 screw driver

- disassemble the phone.

- when you take the screws off you might break some of them since they are ment to be used only once but some of them will take the heat alright.

- put the parts in the oven and set the heat to really low so that it gets to about 70 celsius.

- keep the parts in the owen for atleast an hour.

- assemble and everything should work

+ you can wash most of the parts using tap water or distilled water(if thats the english word for purified water) if the thing got "shitty and or pissy"


GOOD LUCK!!!

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

wow... now on pr1.2L .deb files can be downloaded through app. manager..

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Wasn't that always the case?

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I actually think that was a PR1.1 fix.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

n pr1.1.1 i used to do it through x-term

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Its alot nicer than 1.1 for sure...

The back button in the browser works like the backspace button now.
Battery life feels like its lasting longer.. to be confirmed

No problems so far

Picture of the Email Widget:

OT: How do I get Firefox 1.1 ? On the official beta site i just get the 1.0.1 version.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

"No Comment". sorry.
Indeed. it's like that with young kids.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Has any one with the PR1.2 RC noticed any difference in performance when using the MAFW Equalizer. Are any of you using that?

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

It gets no better than a thread with drama, action, anger... and a cat in heat.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I've found the update to be really good, haven't noticed many bugs. The email widget doesn't seem to be working, and when in desktop edit mode there is a settings button on the widget that does nothing for me. Anyone one else had these kind on problems?

I'm going to test it with a few different email accounts...

Apart form that no other bugs, browser fonts are much better, browsing is generally much quicker and I no longer seem to have any problems with my IM accounts, before it would never seem to log in to some of them properly, but they all seem to be working well and log on times seem to be faster..

Cant see any option for skype video calls but then none of my contacts are online so maybe it just doesnt show up till then

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I don't use that anymore but I do have Symfonie installed and the equalizer built-in doesn't use any less cpu it seems.

LOL. That was the reason why I was awake from 5:30am also.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

is there a flash update (maybe adobe 10)? because i read it at noknok.tv

do we get a video call feature of skype or via 3g service?

any ground breaking features?

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

The Flash Player was updated to 9.0.260.0 from 9.0.246.0

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I didn't notice any flash performance increase. So nothing special in that front for this leaked fw.

One more thing. When changing themes, it does a proper desktop restart and everything applies correctly the first time around. So you now don't need to reboot to get the theme to display properly. This was really annoying and I'm glad it was fixed.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

put it in a zip lock bag of rice...the rice will draw out the water.....and maybe other stuff... ewww... Maybe to late though...if it doesn't work, try the shower and THEN put it in the rice.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

can anyone confirm if exchange provisioning is supported in rc1.2?

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

aside from the fact that it takes 30 seconds for the video to actually pop up. Skype Video chat works wonderfully i can send and recieve calls whenever and the quality is pretty good my buddy had a hd cam and his video wasn ice mine was Mehhh but hey im on a phone ;)

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

quick question

i have a data plan monitor widget on my desk. i want to reset it but if i goto settins>phone the data counter. there are two new fields??? roaming data and home data. i reset both but the widget hasnt reset?

does it need an update or am i missing something

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Nokia have now good testers; "couple" of guys in HK and nerds which have installed this leaked PR1.2.

As speculation.. is this just coincidence PR1.2 has leaked? What would be better way to make final test before releasing update.. So, all you who had installed leaked PR1.2, you are now working on Nokia FOR FREE :D

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Nokia themselves seem to now be a complete farce and of course they released the so called "leaked" PR1.2 in a way that did just what your sayng, got free testers but maybe in case you dont realise their must be some 50,000 plus "testers" who have now installed this so called "leaked" firmware ha.
