Wasn't the PR1.2 build tagged quite a while ago? perhaps usable navigation is ready, but we won't see it for several more months due to nokia package updates only rolling out in major releases?

Perhaps they emphasize more on MeeGo? Previous First Cut release was fast.... but PR1.2 news and the YouTube videos on the upcoming updates, which I think was posted since February...

Perhaps they found some issues? Perhaps they trying to add new things? Hmmm...
I rather they released the updates more often than update once in a blue moon.
People who updates often can always update, while some can choose to update after several updates available.
It's better than no updates for everyone and just wait for one big update that takes months.

Just my personal opinion.

So who plans on doing an over the air update, whos planning on a regular reflash, and who is doing a full reflash. I'm doing a full one (wipes MyDocs clean too).

After overclocking i'm not sure if ota will work, i'll try it but I think i'll end up just flashing it.

Full Reflash for me. I think I'm getting some crashes sometimes due to filesystem corruption, so I'll be better off starting with a clean slate.

Venomrush 2010-04-05 22:38

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
Not available for beta testers yet.
So I doubt next week.

nokian-series 2010-04-05 22:39

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
So, is it out?
I'm from Portugal, nothing over OTA yet.
Any news?

And what about OTA update with OC ?

Cheers all.

Full reflash for me. Start with a clean slate. :) Hope it is released when Nokia is comfortable with it and not a day before.

Was PR1.1.1 available to beta testers before coming to the N900?
Can't developers be considered beta testers? PR1.2 is already on the SDK scratchbox environments - and working well!

:mad: If Nokia takes one more week to release this stuff, I think I'll buy a plane ticket and bomb their HQ in Finland. :( That would be just too much.

You'll know when it's out by the huge number of threads here and the news in the news section of maemo.org.

Please don't... That would just delay the release even more for the rest of us :p

I don't have time to read bad English and try to figure out what it means. My English is not excellent but so many people here are posting crap English that I just skip your post and move on to the next one.
I'm just being honest and letting you know.
WTF does "the first world phone with a screen hole" mean?

Look, I'm learning Chinese and I understand that 70% of the grammar is the same as English and that's why you guys get lazy and don't learn the correct grammar, but you have to take the time to stop talking like crap or else people will just ignore your posts and move on to the next one.

Venomrush 2010-04-05 23:39

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
There is a huge update on the public Maemo5 repo on 1st April including all the new packages in PR1.2

Not so long until PR1.2 now :)

Theoretically you can update to PR1.2 now by manually installing each individual deb files :)

Venomrush 2010-04-05 23:40

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
For example, get the latest Hildon Desktop - http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...+0m5_armel.deb

This will remove More.. menu and hopefully arrange icons too.
I haven't install it yet as currently on Easter break but definitely worth a try

Even I (that scored only 75% in grammar) recognize that you are turning this thread into a slurry of un-intelligable crap.
Can you please try to say things that make sense in English before you post something?......Please

You may have been reading this too literally and/or out of context.

They were just joking around, saying that they'll wear a hole in the screen from pressing the refresh icon too much.

-- does it make more sense now?

Biggest threat to Nokia ? No not Apple, HTC or Google etc. Its Nokia itself. These guys come with a self destruct button; absolute lack of focus and POOR execution..... and yet they reward their CEO with millions in compensation.

I really hope Nokia can get things right as they are potentially better than the competition by a distance. Wake up Nokia, PLEASE !!!

dont rush them....the longer they released, that means they are doing testing. if they rushed the delivery, there could be half baked problems :). and you will not like it.

Looking at the impatience of the community now...I can't imagine what will happen if Nokia announces a date and then fails to deliver on it.

This is why they don't publicly announce any firmware updates. Not even estimates on the date of arrival.

Only for it to be replaced with:-
"Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.3) and its release date" twined with "Speculation about MeeGo and its release date"
:D

Lehto is the guilty one! After overclock, Nokia is rebuilding PR1.2 making it anti-OC-safe... Who will buy n920 after pr1.2-bugfixed-950mhz Lehtokia phone?

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
A guy in Car phone warehouse told me there would be an update this week. I think he told me to get rid of me as I was complaining about my Cameras performance in lowlight conditions (ie lots of noise and horizontal lines across the picture)
Anyway if it doesn't come by Friday and if it doesn't fix my camera woes I shant be as easy to fob off next time.

P.S. does anyone know if there will be any camera improvements in pr1.2 and if so do you think they will address my problem?

He lied to you. No one besides Nokia's monk in the north pole knows when firmware updates are to be available...
So, unless that guy at Car phone warehouse lives in the north pole and dresses like a monk, he lies.

I love this thread. :D
Now some are preaching that if Nokia doesn't get the update in 7 days they are pretty much done.

Honestly the update will fix some bugs, change the menu struckture, add some apps, some will say their device feels faster and some don't see any difference to previous version..

The thing i already know is that no update ever could make same kind of difference than my Cortex-8 running at 900mhz ;)

bonerp 2010-04-06 10:54

Re: Speculation about the next firmware (PR1.2) and its release date
 
peoples impatience for the next release is driven only by speculation on this stupid thread.

If you all just chilled and worried not, a nice suprise might greet you at some point soon...ish!

Most posts in this forum are proof that most dont read more than about 3 reponses above the most recent otherwise most posts would remain useful as opposed to digressing into the usual crud that they end up in.

Seriously, who gives a **** when the next release comes? Do you have sleepless nights over it and awake really early just to check your notification area?

I say GET A LIFE.
