use the backup app in the phones more menu, as long as you dont flash the eMMC it wont erase your mydocs contents ie contacts calendar messages etc

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Thx for quick replies!:)

The phone only saves app names and contacts.
That is backed up, but I dont wanna download everything all over again and set evrything up. Also I will lose my pictures and music.
(I have no SD card)
So that's why I want to do it on my computer.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

If you back up you app list and then restore it, it should open up app manager and ask you which of those apps uyou want to install, so you don't have to find all the apps again.
For Music and pictures.
Connect your phone via mass storage mode, then copy the music/photos' off the phone then back on when you want to have them on your phone.
Nice and easy

Use tha backup app on the phone then transfer the backup file to pc via usb

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Thing is, that previous time I restored my apps that way, I had to stay there because 3/5 apps didnt work and stopped the process.

Yeah I can transfer it via normal mode, thx for that one;)

Was just hoping I didnt have to.

Btw: any new info about the update? Because I still cant update, nor trough app. mngr or NSU:(:(
I prefer not to flash my phone.

No you're not. Same just happened to me. The only nonstandard thing I've done was to move /usr/lib/locale to /opt to free up space on rootfs. I'll have to reflash tonight, sigh.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Yessssss, I was able to update already. Used the N900 global update. :)

Screw Nokia. Next phone will be an iPhone. Nokia is not going to return in my pocket.:(

Hi, i have done everything removed all apps but there was no ota update that came up. Upon searching i found this somewhere if anyone can tell how to do this:

For those of you who prefer to keep your all your personal changes intact, there’s a way to OTA the packages and install. It consists of changing your SSU (Seamless Software Update) repositories to point to UK locations. Do to this, simply open up /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list and change “mr0” to “203” in the second line and refresh your catalogs. If you don’t see an update icon, you CAN apt-get dist-upgrade to grab all the new packages. This will ignore the metapackage, and you’ll have to do this come the next release.

Thanks

P.S i dont want to flash

Hi guys

I have flashed my N900 using NSU.

Everything works fine except one small "bug".

I am trying to send SMS to my contact called let's say "John Smith" and let's assume that I have only one John and one Smith in my contacts.
I am entering into "To" field either "John" or "Smith" or "John " (John and space), pressing "Send" and SMS is sent without any problems.
But when I enter the full name ("John Smith" or "Smith John") or part of the full name ("John S" or "Smith Jo") my phone says that such contact does not exist in my contacts and SMS cannot be sent.

I even tried to create completely new contact - "Aaa Bbb" - and still have the same problem. When I use separately just name or just first name - SMS is sent, when I try to use name and part of the first name or full name (with space between name and first name) - I cannot send SMS.

Do you have any idea how to fix it?
Could you please check if you have similar problem?

regards
Rafal

PR 1.2 degrades the performance, stability and batterylife at least on my device. Not cool.

Overclocking after PR1.2

What is the best method today to overclock the N900?

I had it running on 900Mhz for a month, and that functioned fine.

But the overclock had gone after the update.

What choices do I have today ? (since there seem to be several 'solutions').

Thanks in advance for your help.

fu.... 1.2

1. cant scan for my MP3s on memory card
2. cant see pictures from camera (there is no file to see) Destination direcotry is on MMC. Can download files to PC from card :(
3. uninstalling software last 3 times longer than on 1.1

HOW TO COME BACK TO 1.1????

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Yes, I flashed it myself. File integrity is complete, device health is excellent, it is exactly as PR1.2 was intended: poor.

The media player is faulty and launches after any phone call is missed, ruining silent mode completely until I can be bothered to go in and mess about with the sys files. Basically... nothing noticeable (from an everyday point of view) added, a few features broken and the battery life seems to be a lot worse now. Presumably the development kernel never left the development phase as this seems to be where the majority of bugs are arising from.

And kendy if you want PR 1.1.1 (latest) back you will have to flash it manually yourself, downloading the 1.1.1 BIN file from the nokia-dev website at http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php after enetering the IMEI number found by entering *#06# into the phone dialling pad.

Morning,

Firstly my apologies for another I cant do it post but................

I followed a link on here about how to manually reflash and upgrade to 1.2 but when I moved the files into the flasher program it moved them across as media files!! (VLC)

Am I correct in assuming that the .bin file is a linux extension???? If so what program do I need to add to my PC to get the files in the correct format? Everytime I try and reflash it starts my media player.

Thanks in advance.
