Re: Remove the firmware update
 
My guess is that your videos didn't play in the old firmware's media player until you installed decoders-support.

I think your problem is related to decoders-support's compatibility with the new firmware (PR1.1) and not a problem with the firmware itself.

That's why there's been people testing it for the last several weeks.

But its unrealistic to expect them to find all fatal issues. For example, the wifi battery drain bug still went out on a production phone so I'm assuming that was not caught in testing.

If any other company tried to roll out software that couldn't be rolled-back on an enterprise sysetm they would be sued to the ground. This is not professional behavior.

Really? Symbian has never been downgradable. There's plenty of Microsoft updates/patches which are not removable as well.

Symbian's a poor example because its still an issue with Nokia. I'm not familiar with Windows mobile firmwares.

For the current software project I'm working on, we get fined 1million dollars a day the system is not running. Roll-back is not a nice-to-have.

Many thanks for the "guessed" reply. The videos in question worked fine without any additional codec applied, but not now it appears :(

Granted there are some improvements but overall for me this update is a step backwards. The fact that the next update is rumoured for march means I have a brick till then :(
So kmplayer doesnt play your videos?
I perfectly understand that there seems to be some kind of fck up with codecs and offical mediaplayer.(btw. did you install any extra codecs when you had old firmware)

- Itīs quite probable that Nokias Developers are not watching maemo.org.

- This is really good place to gather and make bug report after getting confirmation that problem is popular. After making it ask all the other people with same issue to vote it and look for questions from developers. If there is any questions answer shortly and informatively and do not tell how disappointed you are. Itīs quite probable that developer is also and what has happened is not his/hers "fault".
(This way is to only way to sort your problem. There is no other. Sorry)

You cant watch videos and your device is brick for you? Excuse me but WTF? Thats totally wrong device to watch just videos. You would be fool to spend that much money for just watch videos from small screen. There is sĪ% load of other devices that are much much better for that.

Videos what i have encoded with avidemux to x.264 & aac work flawlessly, also videos that are already on n900 and also trailers that you could download from one topic here. Did you use in maemo wiki provided profile to encode your videos?

.edit
btw. I agree that not having option to roll back is really stupid.

I'm saying Nokia released an n900 firmware which cannot be rolled back and Nokia releases symbian firmware which cannot be rolled back.

using Symbian as an excuse is a poor because it's still Nokia that has this policy.

I have no idea if Windows mobile firmware is the same...
