Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen on your N900. Don't know where the idea it's an application came from.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

//off topic i know but um is there any way that the iplayer app for the n900 can direct to that website rather than the standard one??? cheers

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

update went smoothly, didn't have to uninstall anything or disable any repos, though noted that i don't have any apps downloaded from extras-devel and testing

Good pointers.... im going to blame it on the boogie...

Mh, doesn't work for me, nothing happens when I "click to play" on the videos. Maybe 1.1.1 will fix that ?

You gotta speculate to accumulate! :D

Re: New firmware? Maemo 5 update 3.2?
 

Please help guys !

I updated for the 3.2010.02.8 new frimware version and my N900 keeps rebooting !!!

Any one has encountered this specific problem ?

Joe

Re: New firmware? Maemo 5 update 3.2?
 

A few people have reported this happening - you'll need to reflash the firmware, and possibly the eMMC as well.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Then you have the 203 unbranded firmware.
This 203 firmware is not out.

Erh no.
You only need a TV license when you watch live broadcast TV.
Watching on iplayer doesn't need a TV license.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Tmobile and in the uk and i have zip had my n900 since Novembeber. If this helps.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

For the record, that "live broadcast" includes live streaming via the BBC website (but not the iPlayer, as Venomrush pointed out).

(It's really a loophole though, I expect it to be closed as soon as the number of iPlayer users will surpass the number of "aerial" viewers.)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Seems like you guys could create a thread just for complaining about the uk update not having happened yet, thus freeint this one for more substantial comments about the update. However, this is just me talking, I'm not a moderator or anything.,

Come to thiink of it, do moderators ever CREATE as well as merge threads? Seems like they should in this instance. What good does it do the rest of us to read about "the uk isn't updated yet"?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I don't think the number of people who just can't - just can't - just can't control their feet is really so low around here...

(considering we've been bombarded with this sort of stuff for *months* last year...)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Is the UK the only country without the update? :confused:
That wouldn't be a first!

Looks like there's more than the underground that isn't on time :D

Maybe we should create a separate but parallel thread where us uk chaps can hang and b*tch about the (lack of) update!

Whadysay?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

It might be an idea for UK users getting hacked off with this to voice the issue at:

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/...ty/td-p/530013

The thread's roughly 600 posts long and deals with the fact that UK variants of nokia device firmwares are *always* significantly delayed, this isn't a new issue or one that's limited to the N900.
Ludicrously enough, not that I own one to check, but recent posts in the thread are now mentioning that the E72 V22 firmware update is now actually available as a branded Vodafone variant for Vodafone devices, despite the fact that *the unbranded update for UK devices still hasn't been released* - A carrier actually beating Nokia in releasing a branded firmware (and we all know the UK networks arent exactly speed demons at branded firmware turnaround times) before Nokia themselves release the unbranded one for everyone who bought the device anywhere other than through vodafone is, frankly, astonishing.
God knows whether anyone from Nokia actually reads that thread, but if they do the voices of a few N900 users added to the mix may help. That and calling nokia care directly to ask them what on earth theyre up to.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Not that anyone is paying attention to this thread anymore but for everyone in the UK, I can also confirm that Google Talk video chat now works on a Mac (like it did previously on PC's) when initiated from the Mac using Safari, Firefox, Opera or Chrome. The video call still cannot be initiated via the N900 and you cannot yet do the same with Skype.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

were is the change log..

Are we there yet?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Yes can all the UK "where/why/how/when can I get the new firmware" please go and open another thread and repeat the same questions over and again in there.

Thanks! :D

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

We don't need another thread for the UK folks, there's no-one else left in this one. It makes more sense to open new threads for specific problems (if any) with the new firmware, rather than expecting them to be added here.

Besides which, after the great shipping thread of 2009 it's getting to be a tradition that the long threads end with we UK posters hanging around waiting for something to arrive.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

LOL at the tags

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Perhaps it's a good thing for us UK users to get them last so we know what sort of problems we will be getting ;) especially things to do before upgrade ie free up rootfs etc

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Wasn't showing up on my Update list either in UK. Had to manually install it via MaemoFlasher - lets see if it feels any different...

Has anyone noticed any major differences or improvements since the update...:confused:

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

i've been using an export set n900 with global firmware flashed. so far no visible differences after the update. menus seem snappier and my battery life has improved, i can get by a full working day with 3.5g and IM connectivity, whereas previously i would get half of that.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Or it could just be that everyone else is patient and don't keep saying the same old things again and again.

Additionally I'm willing to place a bet that most of the people who feel their N900 is snappier/smoother is purely down to a reboot rather than anything to do with the update.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

No it`s not.....before I could barely watch a megavideo or veoh flash content without stuttering....now it`s smooth as silk!

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

i think they have forgotten about us in the UK! Last time the fw was upgraded I received it at 3pm on the day it was first released!

Anyone dropped a query on the Nokia maemo forum? I will.

Re: New firmware? Maemo 5 update 3.2?
 

Dont worry about the repositories if you have problem with one of those just check the name is correct or delete and create again and thats it.... I did twice and are working well

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I can now say that yes, it is little snappier. First I tought that it was because of reboot, but I have noticed that this device now follows my ADHD controlling much better and doesn't lag so much. Still bit more speed in kinetic scrolling wouldn't hurt. So i´m really waiting for next update :) We might get almost to point what this device should be out of box :P

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I fear Nokia are far too busy with the MeeGo stuff to take any notice of us poor little Brits. We've been left behind.

I'm told that this is fairly common in the UK. Some updates for symbian simply never arrived. People have long blamed it on the UK carriers, but this seems to show clearly that it's a decision of Nokia UK.

Anyone up for storming the flagship store? Find the UK head office and throwing tomatos at it? Writing a Strong Worded letter? Telling watchdog?

As I recall, it's Gordon Brown's turn to be blamed today. Anyone work out why?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Wow, you are right, now my own HD captured video - converted) is totally flawles!!!!! Something really changed, before heavy movements stuttered.

Check your videos again!

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I remember when I had a Nokia 5800 (red variant) bought on the day of release - Nokia forgot to give the red variant (the only difference was the colour on the outside of the phone) a firmware update for 3/4 weeks! Terrible.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Nokia are around the corner from me. Maybe i should go and visit

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Great idea. Go and throw a wobbly in their lobby wailing that you can't stand the stress of being left behind by the international community. Sob hysterically and demand that they release the update to us at once. Chew trhe carpet, foam at the mouth...

Seriously, someone should work out how to ask them!

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

A UK red 5800 is sitting on my desk right now. It is still months behind other variants for firmware upgrades. Ridiculous.
