Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

I really don't care about sound quality on external speakers, I find it annoying to listen to music even on laptop speakers, let alone a phone's (except if it has a magic tech that makes it sound like a hifi), but I care very much about the loudness, as I don't want to miss calls (or worse alarm clocks).

OT, even as I never use them for listening anything, for the sake of conversation, the 5800 has probably the best quality loudspeakers. It makes the N900 sound ridiculous.

this is what happened to me.
so first of all enable the option to allow non store apps in settings.
then download the file to a pc and transfer it to the phone.
fennec nor opera supports flash...and both are buggy in my opinion..but u r free to try...opera has to be installed through x terminal after enabling developer mode...fennec can be install without much hastle....will find a link for it and post it here...

good luck!!!!!

Thanks for your help. Yes, it worked fine when I transferred the file from a computer.

Another question - is there an app/way to open zip files on the N9? I can't seem to find an app to do it... Also, I have downloaded Cutetube, but can't seem to download/save any videos from youtube. It worked on my N900 nicely. I've tried several videos, not one of them downloaded - they didn't even start to download, but said "failed" immediately. Might it be something to do with my settings???
Thanks in advance

I am pretty sure I could yesterday view xlsx files, but not edit. Currently I can't even view but I guess it is because of my installing/uninstalling applications while trying to get office documents work more properly...

First, I found a youtube video that indicates someone having more or less functioning office suite at n950:

Then, a bit more googling, found something that looks very much like installation packages for calligra:

http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/...ee/c/calligra/

Tried to install/uninstall some of those (at which point probably lost the capability to even read office docs). Every package seems to install nicely, but at this point I get stuck. I have no idea how to run these packages.

Code:

dpkg -s calligrameego

gives following:

 Calligra main libraries.

But trying to run calligrameego (or a couple of intuitive variants, root or no root), results to

Code:

-/bin/sh: calligrameego: not found

So, does anybody have any ideas how to proceed?

Then I started to think that maybe there is a vnc and/or nx client to log into my home computer and work with the documents there . Apparently no luck with those, but x forwarding seems to work nicely out of the box, so I actually can have a working gnumeric worksheet at the screen of my N9, even if not that elegantly. Only "minor" inconvenience is that I haven't been able to figure out how to open virtual keyboard for the x session. Does anyone happen to know any solution to this short of building a x-forward app?

There is a flash player "app" that the browser (IIRC) auto-switches to.
But no signed/licensed NPAPI plugin for Fennec (firefox mobile).

Could you please tell more about flash player "app" and how it works?

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

@Gybe, some excellent findings, thanks!
That answers one of qwazix's questions (x-forwarding)
Hopefully some others can help with your Qns.

I believe that was built into Nik Roll's "File Manager" app or coming.
Search for the different file managers on the Nokia Store, there should be at least 4 to try by now.

Can anyone help olympus with this? (I don't have a N9 -yet)

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

Anybody have success with Opera Mobile 11 deb? Supposed to work on the N950, but I get Aegis rejection on my N9 (yes I log in as devel-su).
The file is here:

Edit: My bad, I was in the wrong dir ;) It works fine...

yes that kind of x forwarfing works nice on the N900 too. I was asking about the other way around. It would be awesome for example to have the N9 messaging app as a window on your linux box.

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

I am having problems downloading youtube videos on Cutetube. I have tried several videos, and none of them download, they say it's failed. Cutetube worked great on my n900. I can watch the videos fine, just can't download them -the download doesn't even start. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

I wonder if there is anyway to filter through the feed group on event home screen. i only know how to clear one particular group but no way to filter to view only one particular group. it's a shame that i can't do that
