problem for me

1.Cannot dial numbers starting with * or # without the use of a free third party widget so without the third party widget you are unable to top up your credit or check your balance in certain countries. This is expected to be fixed in the next firmware update.

2.slider too loose when call comes it vibrate.

how can i fix both

1. Is solved by PR 1.2

Either update your phone - should have asked for that automatically, or get an N900 in the first place ;)

2. It's actually tight, 7 months and still waiting for a somewhat more spring jump behavior. Still like day one unfortunately.

make a list of all the issues u have with ur n900

**** ANYONE WHO HAS ISSUES WITH THIS THREAD REPORT IT OR DO SOMETHING BETTER, THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY****

comment ur issues and i'll add em on this post to make it more easy for ppl by not making them surf 900+ posts
thank you

*add suggestions that can actually be changed i.e not hardware based*

1) no say callers name or different ringtones

2) n95 has better camera quality *in my opinion* **i'll test and confirm this**

3) no vsync in messages *scrolling and frame rate*

4) virtual keyboard is difficult to use

5) and flash 10 was promised, *yes, i contacted nokia via email, europe didnt reply, mea had the same typical "we're sorry that u are having issues with ur nokia device"

6) and speaker sound is damn low when i turn it on during calls and why switch the screen off when its on loud speaker?

7) no voice navigation and it has has nothing to do with qt

8) and app manager refreshing is waay to slow

9) widgets missing, during changing themes and if selected again, they come back to their original position

10) offline gps location finding?
is this a hardware limitation?
coz n900 consumes lots of data when online

11) it would be nice if software update could be checked in an adjustable time period coz again, i loose all my credit *prepaid* when it suddenly checks for app updates

12) internet access customizable like s60v5.. java apps
each can set which apps can use net and how to notify

13) i read the bugjar thingy, didnt get a technical sh*t
can someone tell me what happened to the BME becoming open source for the host mode project?

14) can someone confirm that n900 can never have multi touch support.. i read in wikipedia that resistive can have multitouch and it was provided to windows mobile *htc i think* recently..

15) its laggy and 500mhz min is safe to use, even if u keep 600mhz max and the laggyness goes away

16) cant repeat songs, jus play-lists

17) if someone can come up with a widget for dialer, i've seen one around but its too small
if someone cal make a portrait based widget *dun care if ti takes up the whole screen*, i'll be glad coz opening up the dialer flips the screen *which is slow* and we also have to tap again for the dialer

18) all components open source or contribution on research projects and porting of other OS which require drivers of closed components

19) media player should have a specific folder to look into rather than the whole memory *recorded calls for example, dont wanna them to be played after my song is over*

20) copy contacts TO simcard is missing

21) portrait apps to say the least like sms or photo browser with a portrait based virtual keyboard

22) call duration, record of past calls and their duration along with internet *not wifi*

23) Videos stutter a lot for the first few seconds of play back.

24) Scrolling through a long list can be quite jerky. For example if you are scrolling through the thumbnails of your photos.

25) Sometimes the phone rings with a blank screen for a few seconds so no way to answer the phone. I know a few others have had this issue but not sure how wide spread it is.

26) there is no equalizer for media player

27) there is no power saving mode *and power-saving, i meant like s60 has a system like.. when the battery is like 5-10%, the screen brightness will be reduced.. and if they limit processor state too or switch it to powersaving as governor, that could actually be useful*

if someone else has any issues or something they'll like to share, add em and i'll edit this post for convince

*** credit goes to the community as i'm jus searching threads and adding known problems along with unknown ones.
**** yes, there should be a sarcasm tag here
and oh
