Firmware Flashing: Step 3
 
This is the last step in flashing the firmware of your Nokia N900. Step 3 is just the same as Step 1, but at the end of the command you will have to type a space, and then:

Code:

-R
at the end (-R means Reboot). We will use the firmware file that has the word "COMBINED" on it. DO NOT USE THE FIRMWARE FILE THAT HAS THE WORD "VANILLA" OR "EMMC" ON IT. THAT FILE IS FOR STEP 2.

TIP: Just follow the exact procedure in Step 1. The only difference here is that we will add "-R" to the command (meaning Reboot/Restart).

Hi Friend,

No problem. Can you post a screenshot? Also...what steps are you doing to run the flasher? Please let me know which one of the two:

1. Start->Run->cmd?
2. Start->All Programs->Maemo->Maemo Flasher 3.5?

It should be #2. :)

Hi Friend,

What you should have done is to press and hold the "U" (letter U) button on your phone's physical keyboard, before pressing Enter on the command for Step 2.

Anyway, is the phone still connected to the USB? If so...just remove the USB, press and hold the "U" key, and insert the USB again (don't release the "U" key...you should still be pressing it). The flasher should then detect the phone.

Nope. :) I've committed similar errors before and the phone did not break.

Can you give me a screenshot? Or do you have IM (e.g. Yahoo Messenger)? My username is topet2k12001.

Try this:

1. Disconnect the phone from the USB
2. Press and hold the "U" key on your N900 keyboard
3. Attach the USB adapter. You should see a USB logo at the top-right of your N900's screen
4. The flasher should automatically continue after a few seconds. DO NOT RELEASE THE "U" KEY UNTIL YOU SEE THE FLASHER CONTINUE.

If not...

4. While holding the "U" key, enter the Step 2 command again (just press the up arrow on your computer's keyboard; the command line stores a history of previous commands that you have typed). Keep on holding the "U" key, and press Enter on your computer's keyboard.

In general, front cameras (the hardware itself) have less quality compared to the cameras at the back of phones so it's really like that; nothing much we can do about it. :)

It's an application that makes the front camera function so that you can see yourself on the phone screen - so it acts like a mirror. :)

Yes I tried it on my other N900. It is a "nice-to-have" but not really a "must-have".

install wifi switcher. This will turn off the wifi from scanning which drains a lot of battery life.

install auto disconnect. Will automatically disconnect any connections.

install the 2g/3g switcher. Some area doesn't have 3g connection so it will try to search 3g which it will drain battery. So it will save more battery life when its in 2g.

Friend,

I don't think any application is designed to help prolong the battery life of a device. There are applications which help you save battery but by themselves, they don't really save battery. In short, these are just applications that automate stuff that you need to do to save battery life (such as Wifi Switcher, Brightness App, etc.).

By the way, I noticed you've been asking this question from the start as well as in other forums...you need to understand that the N900 is a Mobile Internet Device (a tablet) with phone features...it is not just a smart phone but instead it is like a mobile computer (like a netbook/notebook). With this, you need to set the expectation that the battery life of the N900 is not like the regular smart phones (which last at an average of 3-4 days with normal use).

On regular to strong usage, the N900's battery consumption will give you somewhere between 4-6 hours max and that's it. :) On minimal usage it can extend to probably 12 hours or so. Instead of comparing it to smart phones and thereby feel disappointed, why don't you compare it with regular laptops (notebook/netbook) or similar devices? (the N900 is a tablet anyway) Laptops using regular batteries last for only 2-4 hours or 6-8 hours using extended batteries. The N900 lasts for 4-6 (strong usage). :)

If you really need that much of "battery life", then the best suggestion for your situation is to either buy an extra battery or always bring a charger.

Re: Nokia N900 Owners from Philippines
 
nowadays, what we call phones are not just only phones, there are so many features that we can make more than just call or send SMS that contributes to additional battery drain. If you have had a Nokia 3310 (who didnt?), i can say that mine lasts over 4 days normal, and 2 days with playing snake and space impact 2. but with phones today, more games, features and stuff......that you're not realizing using its non-telephony functions more.

pasensya na pero gusto ko lang talga umangal. me mga kakilala kong me n900 din though gamit nila sa phone na ito eh talk n text lang, kung baga eh nababaliwalang kwenta yung phone sa opinyon ko lang, kahit tatay ko gumaya n900 din at madalas kahit pag me nawalang shortcut o widget eh sakin lagi tatakbo :p

gusto ko to dahil sa multitasking, though madalas napakabagal ng phone lalo na pag me browser na nakabukas. yung sa conversations na biglang masisira napakasakit nun. maraming pwedeng gawin at lang kalikut na ginawa ko dito pero sa totoo lang mas marami pang sakit ng ulo at madalas napapahiya pa ko kahit magopen lang ng video o picture ang tagal.

Try reflashing your N900. It might be the solution to your prob. Also, you can try overclocking after you reflash. Just search for jakiman's overclocking guide in the power search link.

i kind of agree on that, i read up on the CSSU and i think its too much work for an average N900 user, hehe i might skip on getting it on my phone. looks promising though!

I'm not even using NITDroid anymore, i just break it out when my friends ask me about it and when we talk about android stuff haha
