Is it after some update or what ?

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

Was not aware that was in PR1.2
Is that part of the update or a modification?

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

It's part of update. Shows also missed calls and unread text messages :)

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

Excellent, been waiting for something like that for ages.

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

All i can say is that im sorry to all the people who are still on pr1.1.1 for fears the leaked one has too many problems. Well if u read this
http://maemocentral.com/2010/05/06/h...(Maemo+Central)
it is due to memory leaks which have been found... personally id rather be on the leaked firmware as pr1.1.1 had many memory leaks and was constantly rebooting my phone... have not had to do that at all with the leaked pr1.2

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

I read this - I noticed that kind of memory leak (or close by) in PR1.1.1

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

I don't think he means the update brings memory leaks. I think the memory leaks have always been there and it just got noticed. So I'm guessing they are trying to fix this. The Pr 1.2 leak probably has memory leaks too.

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

my extras-devel has stopped working since upgrading to pr1.2. Normally this would be OK for short periods of time, but I'm not able to redownload all of my previously installed apps because a lot of them came from extras-devel. Anyone else have the same problem? It's been non working now for about 5 days.

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

Can you elaborate on what exactly is failing when you use devel?

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

Thanks for answering the question while I was away.

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

been using it since it was leaked and it works better for me then the older version we was allready on

many improovements that for me were worth the upgrade

cant wait to see the finished pr1.2

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

im not sure if its been noted but the mp3 ringtone distortation bug is still present in the current 1.2 were using :( hopefully a fix makes the final release

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

Tip: how rotate any app on LR1.2

Open the app
Press Control+Shift+R
Close the keyboard
Rotate the Phone

:)

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

Totally works.

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

This I like a lot!

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

Much needed functionality IMHO.

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

Are you sure? Or just taking others' trip?

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

Good find. Works well for most of the built-in apps.

It works in Conversations too. Unfortunately, the virtual keyboard doesn't work in rotated mode :( Would have been perfect otherwise...

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

a friend from HK, well he is here in Canada now, gave me the .bin file for PR 1.2, i believe the one he gave me is the leaked one.

after flashing on the FW, so far so good and getting better as i explore the update.

the downsides on my part is that, the Conversations Widget and personal Data plan monitor is not operational......IDK why.....but there is a new E-mail Widget which is cool!!!

EDIT: i believe the menu is customizable, but how???

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

To customize menu, long-long-press over any icon (like at desktop)

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

the app manager rocks!!! auto search in a type on the keyboard.

awright! im good with the leaked one,

im gonna be away from overclocking since im hoping that the global release will be out soon. if that happens, im going to flash again, and the eMMC will be Zero apps again..... sigh

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

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

Anyone of y'all with the leaked pr 1.2 tried this rotate thing?

@abill_uk and the rest?

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

It works. :)

Tested on conversations. But it turns back to landscape mode if I try to text someone.

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

Is anyone able to use Nokia Messaging with the leaked version?

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

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

the rotate thing works.. got a lot of use for that on my phone

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

Yeah, I got my Nokia Messaging back with this leaked version. I had to change SIM's though.. the tmobile sim i had didn't work, so i popped in a dead vodafone UK sim... it did the whole "checking with Nokia Servers" thing but after that, BAM! Nokia Messaging appeared as the last item on the list (US selected as country).

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

mine works without upgrading (same country)

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

I had the same problem. Just delete your current extra-devel catalog and configurate a new one.

From Wiki:
"How to activate Extras-devel

In the Application Manager:

1. Navigate to the application menu (tap the title bar)
2. Select ‘Application catalogs’
3. Select ‘New’
4. Enter a catalog name of ‘Maemo extras-devel’
5. Enter a web address of http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
6. Enter a distribution of ‘fremantle’
7. Enter components of ‘free non-free’
8. Select ‘Save’

Note 'fremantle' only has one 'e'. "

For me this worked out just fine.

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

@gabby131

auto search by text input now seems to work in a lot more places than i remember on older firmware e.g conversations, filemanger, app manager as mentioned, even the media player.

Also app manager gives you the option to update all at once...(pretty niftty that)

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

The option to update all was there in PR1.1.1 as well, it was just hidden in the menu :) I am sorry for you that you didn't find it (;

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

With PR 1.1 when you are using FM transmitter and then plug in the charger the transmitter will reduce it's power output to an unusable level.

You then have to restart the whole deal in order for it to work properly.

Has the FM transmitter been fixed in this leaked version?

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

Fix what?
You refer to FMboost disabled by usb, but that is not a bug.
FMtransmitter must be working "by default" with the power levels defined by Nokia for each country.
Simply, use the desktop widget to make overpowering more easy.

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

I installed the leaked version yesterday.

Today I get the following exciting update message when I run Update from App Mgr:

Maemo 5
Portrait browsing, Internet video calling, e-mail widget, email and calendar improvements, v (the rest is off the screen)

However, when I try to run it I get the message about needing Nokia PC Suite. ("Connect device to PC via USB cable and open Nokia PC Suite. The application will guide you through the rest of the Maemo update.)

Also, under Problems I get Unable to update 'Maemo 5'
Application packages missing: 'hildon-home(=0.3.66-2+0m5)

When I run PC Suite I get encouraging messages but at the end it tells me that I am already up to date.

Do others get this?

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

It's also there when notified to update by the yellow blinky. When there are more than one new updates, you are given the option to update all IIRC.

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

No I do not...

Forget FM Boost or any other program for a minute. Forget what freakin' country you are in.

Now start up Media Player without the charger or USB plugged in.

Set up FM transmitter and broadcast yourself to your dang FM receiver at whatever power level Nokia deems fit,

Listen to your tunes.

Does this^ behavior still exist? (Our hero asks again, to no one in particular.)

If so, please 'splain to me again why this is a feature and not a bug.

My country didn't change when I walked from my couch to my desktop to plug in my charger. :eek:

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

I think it's Bug 6792

Which is supposed to be fixed in 1.2

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

I overclock the leaked successufully with titan .24 kernel.
With a clock speed of 900 now my n900 is really bad ***... finally can al least compete with 3gs snd n1 in browser speed.

anyway the overall experience of the 1.2 leaked is quite good and other than a desktop widget bug I do not have any problem.

The portrait mode looks more a debug mode than a real feature

I installed leaked PR1.2 and did not die...
 

As the title says, I flashed my N900 to the leaked PR1.2 using this blog post and then rebooted it.

Before I go into the details, I should qualify two factors that enabled me to do this:

1. I've reflashed handset firmware almost 1000 times on WinMo and Nokia devices over the years
2. I waited until enough other reports about leaked PR1.2 had accumulated so that my expectations of it would be reasonable

So if you've not got some experience re-flashing, I recommend patience and do your homework first!

The device rebooted no problem, and upon exploring the new firmware, here's a few things I've noticed/liked:

1. "About Product" screen indicates 'Version: 10.2010.12-9
2. "VOIP and IM Accounts" includes Facebook chat via the @chat.facebook.com server
3. "Sharing Accounts" includes an MMS service you can configure
4. "Photos" application includes bulk 'Share images' feature
5. "Contacts" application includes "Import from Exchange Server" feature for individual contacts
6. "App Manager" now includes an 'Update All' button when there are software updates
7. All original apps were restored, while some personal settings were retained (I restored from a backup to get missing apps/settings)
8. A new 'Email Widget' shows # of unread emails per account on the desktop (YAY!)
9. RootFS indicates 100megs of free space after restoring all my apps!

Things I need to re-implement/fix (because re-flashing eliminated them, just like any reflash would):

• Add 'reboot' option to power-key menu
• remove shadows from Desktop icons
• Restore system-wide use of Droid fonts
• Google Contacts sync via Nuevasync seems buggy (full functionality not yet working) [EDIT: Fixed by simply deselecting Calendar/Task in Settings panel, forcing Full Resynchronization of just Contacts info, then reselecting Calendar/Task syncing.]

I've also noticed that more of my original settings are retored with each reboot. So for example, upon first reboot my MSN/YAH!/AIM accounts were not shown in the "VOIP and IM accounts" panel, but after a few reboots they were.

Overall impressions are good. It works, it's not crashing, the browser is faster, and portrait-mode in the apps, especially Inbox and Conversations, is really great to have.

YMMV, and of course, your choice to reflash your device is all yours.

EDIT: I must add a BIG THANKS to Nokia devs for their work. Unleaked as this firmware may be, based on the improvements it brings to an already terrific device suggests (to me) the team is working hard on the right things. Thank you whomever you are.
