What comes to x forwarding from n9, the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config has a row:

Code:

X11Forwarding yes

Which of course would indicate the possibility of x forwarding. I do not know if some of my settings are not right, but trying the standard x forwarding commands resulted the x window opening in the host (n9) and not in the client (my desktop from which I was sshing into the phone). Which of course is slightly peculiar.

Anyway, if someone is playing with developer mode, I recommend reading following:

For some reason I was not able to ssh into the device over 3g, only via usb cable.

That happened on the N900 the first time I tried it. Then I read it wasn't possible and I stopped fiddling. Lately out of curiosity I tried again and it partially worked. Though ultra slow and not for the stock applications.
The difference between the two tries is about a year, a power-kernel, cssu and some other tweaks and patches.

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

The battery cost of ssh is not so much on N900 at least, and I would always trade it for the assurance it gives in case of lost lock code, faulty touchscreen, unresponsive device and other unfortunate events.

Let's hope indeed the 1.1 will bring new features to the default mail client. Do you have a good alternative email client?

It sounds similar to issues I've seen described here
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=78480
That is the dedicated thread for MfE related issues.
Devs have been great there, getting feed-back & providing answers, where possible.
BigBadGuber's been trolling occasionally, but no one feeds him :D

If you only need IMAP this might be okay

Although I don't think the dev plans to start work on it till Dec.
I checked with him on IRC the other day.
He was part of the CDP so not sure why he's not done anything.

I guess the terms aren't that strict...

That link above might be useful to find other email clients
And perhaps this one too....

There's several other places to check but can't recall OTTOMH.

I am also a user of Google Reader and I found only one application handling it called NewsFlow but it is really limited feature-wise. Any other application which supports this aggregator out there?

do you try the web browser at:

Can you give me your repository list (source.list)? Thank you.

It was posted earlier in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=261 :)

My Archos 101 won't find my N900 wifi hotspot because of that reason.

If so, why did the tablet see the hotspot from another phone?

Is the tablet an android tablet? Android doesn't show ad-hoc networks by default.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82

What was the phone and hotspot app it was able to connect to?

Maybe this other phone provides access point wifi with his hotspot (access point wifi is different from ad hoc wifi, and not all devices support the second one)

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

i am experiencing high memory usage, even when i close all the apps, when i launch the app called resources to check, i still get only 100++ mb of memory left, is this normal?

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!

Not sure if it's been said or asked... but since I'm an Android user, I have all of my phone numbers stored on my main Gmail account.

Even WP7 picked that up. Does Harmattan do the same?
