but you know there is a nice little thread for this

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

@digittante: thanks for investigating, but none of this is new information here. BTW, some of the "new features" you listed are already in PR 1.1.1, so... no point.

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

Thanks... and yes it is supposed to be fixed. That is why I asked. :)

***

Is it fixed in the PR 1.2 firmware we are talking about in this thread?

... and wow!

I didn't realize bugzilla has become so noisy. I see a lot of "expert" opinion from people who have no real Idea and no reason to be posting there in the first place.

It confuses the issue and might affect the enthusiasm of those tasked with creating a solution. I know I would not look forward to dealing with all the extraneous BS.

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

I mentioned above my Maemo 5 upgrade message. I managed to get rid of it with apt-get -f update.

Then, in the spirit of wild experimentation, I ran apt-get dist-upgrade and some new files installed and I felt like my system ran quicker and more smoothly.

So far I'm happy with the leaked firmware update but still looking forward to the real one.

I think that Nokia can and should be nicer to us on-the-edge (or is it on-the-ledge?) people. After all, it seems to me that we represent the true spirit of N900 users.

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

That worked, thanks!

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

Anyone with the leaked pr 1.2 checked out the live wallpaper thing?

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

I too flashed my n900 yesterday after reading the other threads about the leaked PR 1.2 to know about their reliability and found it to be working well without any issues. The features are really awesome. I was disappointed that the Skype video call option was not available in this but the SIP call options do support video calls( I'm yet to try them though). The standby screen that appears when we press the power button now also show the missed calls, new messages and new mails.

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

No skype video call option ??????????

I think i will wait for PR 1.3..... Nokia, you're welcome !

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

And with any luck this goes into the 'big thread' within minutes.

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

may be it's available in the final PR 1.2 release, I'm not sure anyway.

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

that's in your hands too...

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

the only reason, that i keep hoping for PR1.2 is because skype video call. Can you have the gtalk video call initiated by n900? If yes, then i will keep my hope.

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

i have leaked pr 1.2, and have successfully make:
voice google talk
video google talk ( quality and speed camera slow, but usable )
voice skype talk
video skype talk ( quality and speed camera slow, sometimes not showing )
voice

me very like it :)

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

I did not find an option of video call for gtalk until now in the contact list but people have posted that they've tried and were successful. Just google and see, you'll find details on that. There's thread on this topic,

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

Someone please tell me which other phone on the market allows skype/google video call function (both ways)???

N97. thats what.(through fring though).

So can people please stop spamming threads with "video call is a MUST".
How is it a must if you've never had it before? how has it become your most needed function from a hand device? It would be great to have (i actually used it quite it a bit on the N97.

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

Welcome to the club....BTW, how did you get the about info working?The old terminal command doesn`t work for me.

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

Cannot agree with you more ! but it seems many are still wary of it for some unknown reason.

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

How about that it worked for me too... It broke the conversation app and the GSM data monitor tool(this is likely due to the new home network data counter not GSM in the phone options, Nokia this is a stupid change I don't want to keep track of home internet use combined with GSM)... Please tell me if this is a one off...
The refinements are worth it though with the online accounts seeming to work a heap better, as in logging in every time...
I can confirm it did kept all my contacts, messages and data such as photos...

I used a Virtual 32 bit XP as Vista 64 had trouble and used the command:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.12-9_PR_C
OMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

So calls work, conversations work, email works, all the basics so far... Maps is a little different, still crap(ie. no voice guidance)... but search results are a little better...

So if you really feel like an update give it a go... It won't kill you! :) it will break a few apps though...

But all in all at the end of the day what is the update with out it's Qt apps from the store??? It holds nothing against android or apple. We don't even have a thousand useless apps...

Choice is worth nothing if you have nothing to choose...

Just my 3 fity...

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

I'm running live wallpaper, but it is the variety already available for everyone, I think. It's in one of the repositories and has a thread.

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

i'm running it now for a few days, nice improvements, overclocked at 750Mhz, runs nice.

the new stuff is working great, now only portrait for textmessaging.

ussd widget and ussd cal apps, you don't need anymore, the normal phone app does it now also.

directory tree is changed, so will look for the new stuf and modding system icons like the previous version.

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

This still doesn`t work for me?Help?

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

Not sure if it's mentioned before (can't bother going through 900 posts), but one thing I really like now is that, you can control the volume of the music even with the screen turned off...

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

I have installed PR 1.2 RC and two days ago i have a bug.To hang up my call, the screen return into the desktop and return in the phone menu.I'm alone to have this problem?

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

I had something similar to this but not exactly the same. After finishing one call, I had to wait for my credit balance(USSD) to get displayed and then an error message coming in and then only i was able make another call. Meanwhile when I tried to call before the error message, the phone returned to the desktop without proceeding with the call.

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

Following up on my original "...and I did not die" post from 3 days ago (available in full here):

• Sorry for the duplicate thread, and thanks to Reggie for merging it here
• Thanks also to Reggie for tolerating discussion of the leaked firmware on a Nokia-sponsored community (he and I exchanged a few PM's and are in agreement on handling this topic
• The leaked PR1.2 introduced errors on my device, so I've reverted to PR1.1.1

Specific errors were: Contact information synced via Exchange Server did not persist across device reboots or network switches (i.e. going from WiFi to 3G or vice-versa). In 3 days, I had to reset the Exchange Server sync settings 2 dozen times, regardless of whether I used Google's sync feature or NuevaSync's.

Also, upon every reboot, a warning notice appeared indicating "An internal error has occurred; can not proceed" (paraphrased).

With 1400+ contacts, unstable retention of them was a deal-breaker.

I reflashed easily back to PR1.1.1 via the standard method, encountered the expected 'unrecognized SIM' error, and overcame that with the published method. Then I restored everything else from my latest Backup

After this little glimpse of the future (or at least the PR1.2-future), I'm happily back in PR1.1.1-ville.

Props to the community for developing all the resources that enabled me to take this little adventure. You all rock (except Abill_UK when he's cranky...;-))

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

thanks.

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

Yeah it is. But where we talk about here isnt the real one, but a buggy lekaed version. The real one isnt out jet.

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

yes, it's the next firmware version and it should fix quite a few bugs and bring new features as well..

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

i stil not encountered a bug or problem with the beta pr1.2

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

You must activate this by ctr+shift+R.When you quit your inbox and you recome into your inbox you must reactivate the rotation by the key combinaison.I test it yesterday.

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

is this 1.2 version the same one thats being stated on some sites to avoid completely? http://maintenance.maemo.org/news/pl...damage_phones/

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

Yes. I don't think we know of anyone who has had their phone damaged by the fw however.
(f2thak's phone is fixed and cannot say it was anything related to the leaked fw that he had yet)

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

The pr 1.0 has damage my phone and nokia don't warn the user of n900. :D

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

This is not a very good description.

Try for instruction 3

3. apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-*

and report

(1) What you tried and
(2) What error message you received.

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

If i were to flash with this version what all bugs/pr would i be looking at? My phone is in a very buggy state now on pr 1.1.1 so i hav to flash anyway.

Thanks in advance for any help! =)

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

The main bug is that once you take that step you can't go backwards easily if you want to. I haven't seen many problems.But the real update is said to be due in a few weeks.

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

Where is it said to be due "in a few weeks"?

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

PR1.2(L) is excellent! I love using the volume button in the browser and the back button, the phone feels the same as with PR 1.1.No dependancy problems and I like the new email widget....so everything is positive foe me.

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

Who said few weeks?
