Am seeing this for the first time.
If I remember correctly; yes the image rotates in all four directions and it was smooth to my eyes.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: What's new? What's different?
 
So I just wanna get this straight; if you press ctrl + shift + R and then close the keyboard it will make any app go into portrait (and some are rather well optimized). While the app is open it will change orientation depending upon how you hold it. But if you close the app and reopen it you must use the keyboard shortcut again!??

The reason for wanting portrait was so that you could do things with one hand. I hope I'm wrong about this but if I'm not then Nokia is straight up retarted. Who the F thought it would be helpful to have portrait, for one hand use, that is only accessible with both hands? Unbelievable.

Am I wrong? Please tell me I am.

I'm tired of hearing uninformed noobs complaining about how there was no change between the leaked and official versions... how different did you think it was going to be? It's the same firmware.
Another difference is that there seems to be proportionately a LOT more complaints about problems with the real release than with the leaked release. My theory is that the more knowledgeable users tried the leaked version and were able to get themselves out of any trouble they had. The less knowledgeable cautiously waited for the official release and couldn't get out of the trouble they had.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: What's new? What's different?
 
:confused::confused::confused::(:mad:

scenario:

so how bout i wanted to update to the PR1.2.
but i only had 3.2 mb of space. So i went to the wiki and followed the instructions.

ran: apt-get clean
then: apt-get autoremove

after that i got 33mb of space on rootfs now. but i still couldnt get the update. So I Did this:

mkdir -p /home/user/MyDocs/apt-archive-cache/archives/partial

then:

apt-get -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/apt-archive-cache dist-upgrade

i notice that it took a long time to do so I left running all night. I woke up this morning with an error message. So I did it again

later got an error message again. so i did apt-get clean and autoremove and i tried:
apt-get -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/apt-archive-cache dist-upgrade [again]

all of a sudden while it was running it stated at the top:

internal error on application "phone" closed

It keeped saying this over and over again. I didn't think nothing of it so I ran this:

apt-get install pymaemo-optify

then it listed the files but stated 1 was not installed correctly or removed and that i needed to run a dpkg something to fix it manually. I did that but then i noticed that a picture of a sim card witha slashed red line at the top and got worried. I checked my disk usage and i had 0mb of space on rootfs.

so I restarted my phone. NOW IM STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP!:confused:

can someone help???
I jus download the maemo flasher latest update to flash if i need to but will i loose all my data on all of my partitions?
i have a backup but its located in my documents folder on the internal memory. and will i loose all of my sms messages and backup contacts in my documents folder??


please help if you can

Have u considered the number of people who actually downloaded the leaked vs the final version? thousands vs hundred of thousands perhaps? that might be the cause...

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: What's new? What's different?
 
flashing the os and the emmc are 2 different things, and not related...

after you flash the os, you wont be asked to flash the emmc.

i flashed 1.2 yesterday, just had to reinstall all my programs. I had all my conversations, documents, music, etc still in my device

I think the Ctrl+Shift+R thing is mainly so you can test to see how apps would work in portrait mode. Think of it as an Easter Egg rather than a proper feature.

Long press for blue keys is one of the best new features along with much improved battery life.
I haven't noticed any difference in battery life, but the long press on blue buttons, is much appreciated. The voicemail addition is cool too.

It is strange that these are functions built into the cheapest of phones and have been there for ages too!

However since upgrade I can't access OVI store, I am greeted with a message telling me to upgrade my phone! has anybody else had this problem?

also there is a way to have a complete list of what I've installed?
thanks
Yes use the backup app to make a full backup. Then you will need to make a copy of this on your pc. After your upgrade copy the backup file back to your phone then do a restore. This will then ask if you want to re-install all of your previous apps. Simple!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: What's new? What's different?
 
i don't know if it was there before or not but i just found out that when you are using wifi and you open the media player you'll see all the computers connected to it and you can do network sharing from there.
kind of a short cut

Pr 1.2
 
flashed my phone (had to.....vodafone are useless) and upgraded to PR1.2 last night. Not really noticing much of a difference to performance.

I can access ovi store again, but there's hardly anything in there. far better off getting apps from this site directly.

has anyone out there had the WOW factor since upgrading to the new OS? any massive changes to the user experience?
