Re: Why arent we downgrading back to PR1.1.1

I installed the leaked version and was very happy with it. I flashed the legit version and am very happy with it. I don't understand why people are even having problems.

Edit: I am very interested in how 1.1 works if you go back to it. I remember that the leaked version had some problems if you went backwards. I wonder if the legit version does.

Re: Why arent we downgrading back to PR1.1.1

I'm very pleased with PR1.2, no issues whatsoever, dont see any reason to downgrade.

Re: Why arent we downgrading back to PR1.1.1

I did flash my n900 it's working ok, but can't see the new ovi, and stil send sms to home numbers.

Re: Why arent we downgrading back to PR1.1.1

I was having some issues with slowness. I uninstalled Call Notify and the N900 is now flying. I heard that Call Notify was not compatible with PR1.2. There are obviously some issues with a few apps that are not 100% compatible which maybe messing with the OS of some devices.
Before uninstalling I couldn't work out what the hype was with PR1.2 and now I do.

Has anyone compiled a list of apps that may not be compatible with PR1.2?

Probably the most constructive thing I've read in the last two days

"Other issues at play" simply sends the imagination reeling! From some of the complaints I've seen I have to agree, there are "other issues" at play.;)

i'm just saying what i'm expiriencing after the update what i never had. since the update the problems arise. before never. some people say in my other thread to try and reflashing the fiasco and emmc

this is what i'm going to try and then see again

Before reflashing I would bring up "top" (commandline) or "conky" (GUI) and then run the apps you have trouble with. Look for things that are eating up CPU or RAM. A reconfigure or reinstall of an errant app might save you some time.
I am NOT saying that PR1.2 didn't bring new bugs.
FWIW, I ASK for big trouble from Nokia when I upgraded:eek: I was using an overclocked kernel, extra-devel and extra-testing enabled etc. but I had 70MB rootfs free. But I was prepared to re-flash. The OTA upgrade went smooth and everything I use the N900 in a day to day continued working as well or better then before. Not going back either:)
I did have an issue with VNC and WPA PSK wifi connections that required me to type the passphrase. I turned auto-capitalization off (which I don't like anyway) and now they work fine as does SMS.

I personally would like to see something like this also!
Take care.

Re: Why arent we downgrading back to PR1.1.1

i am finding that v1.2 is having a few problems or maby i just need time to get used to it. the only thing that really annoys me is the new virtual keyboard layout >.< the buttons look much smaller the backspace button is tiny and there is no @ on the font so annoying
