Re: What's the problem in Nokia!? People is not working as a team!!
 

Sorry. I don't talk about fundamental operation system design. I don't want the symbian one. Because of this I moved to maemo.
I'm talking about such things like Devices with Touchscreen that unlocks itself in the pocket and no autoexposure lock on half-press of camera button.

They desinged it like they want and begin to think about it from the early beginning without looking how this works on other Devices. Nokia has many experience with mobile phones. Why not ask before do the same mistakes again?

Nokia had the same unlock problem at the Nokia 5800 and as far as I know at their N97. They finetuned a lot at the proximity sensor of the 5800 and in the end they gave up and implemented slide to answer as every other manufacturer does. But before they fixed it they said a long time "it works just fine, you are to stupid to use it" - and now we got THE SAME discussion on the N900 again and frighteningly also the finetuning at the proximity sensor.

The sensor works fine to lock the device during the call. For this it is designed. For this it works as expected. But it doesn't work when you have to pull it somewhere out to answer a call.

And for the autoexposure lock I linked above, the programmer has obviously no experience using a normal camera or at exampe a Nokia N95. No problem at all! But when he doesn't know he should ask one from the symbian team or test it before how it should work.

Hmm... okay, it is only a small first try, but I filled a Bug report about this issue. We can't fix everything at once so I guess we have to start with one of the important parts: RESOLVED / MOVED Bug Reports are stucking in the Brainstorm system

Please feel free to vote and comment if you have something useful to get this fixed. Normal discussions please only at talk.maemo.org. :)

Look at Nokia's stock price, they are being severely punished right now. The problem is, they are not showing any signs of "change".

(same price as Sept 1998)

If the N8 is not up to par (GUI experience which doesn't crash or lag and easy to use, decent battery, usable Nokia apps)... then it would seem they need MORE punishment before they get the message.

All your n900 dreams will come true when PR 1.3 is released. Stay tuned!

:D

Re: What's the problem in Nokia!? People is not working as a team!!
 

Yes, it's true that this is not their fault.
But you and they need to accept the fact, that they cannot expect prompt support from Nokia. Period.

I've been a huge Nokia fan since the 90s. I waited for the N900 in the face of the iPhone and Android devices.

In my opinion, Nokia has bigger problems than fixing the N900. The are "six of six" in the smartphone marketplace right now and falling quickly. The N8 is likely to die on the vine the same way that the N900 did. I wouldn't hold your breath for any further support of significance with the N900. They seem to be pinning reentry of the market on the N8 amd N9, both of which, as far as I know, are "Symbian" platforms. Even the Nokia people acknowledge that they've lost it, and it won't be until 2011 that they have OS parity -- which won't be Maemo.

I myself expected long term support.

Not fixed in Harmattan targets from the early beginning and let the users alone with the Bugs. "live with it or buy someting different" - Is this really the solution?
We have to wait for Harmattan, buy new devices to get some of the N900 software fails fixed and after this step 5 of 5 we get a new thing called (the real) Meego. :mad:

To me, it seems that Nokia has taken what's great from the OSS side and tries to make a perverted version of open source OS that's only useful for single device. This is completely against the OSS tradition and that's a big part of what's (silently) surprising everyone.

Granted the non-locking *nixes were due to the open x86 lineage, but it's a big part of linux's tradition that even Android seems to keep. Well they try to anyway. So much more than what's Nokia's doing on that end.

Yes, we can quote many current technicalities, legalities and formalities that are in place that restricts the free flow of the OS; but seriously, if Nokia really put this as one of their core design elements, than this restriction wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

This restriction is here by design.

everyone has their time........Nokia once on the throne for the leading smartphones, maybe now, its Apple's time. but that does not mean its the end for nokia......i believe.

Re: What's the problem in Nokia!? People is not working as a team!!
 

shut up with the you bought the wrong phone, even with some research you would expect some support for this great device but not none.
