Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

I also have the same problem but I don't know what to do about it!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

I'm not re-flashing it just to get that one line of text sorted, no doubt it'll bring on more problems..lol.

Is there a way I can change it through the terminal?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

The only bug for me is birthday in calendar widget
Everything else is working fine and fast!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

I've noticed the smart Birthday calendar is always screwed after updates to easiest way to solve this is.
Go into calendars and delete the smart calendar.
Then add a new calendar and select the Birthday smart Calendar it will then pull everything back in from the contacts.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

It's been suggested on an Italian forum that it may have something to do with the facebook photo up-loader widget installer. How true this is I don't know.

Do you get the same under themes aswell? Mine is normal under themes.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Thanks stobbsc!
Now I have a perfect PR1.2 :D

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

It's normal under theme i.e. 'Get more from Ovi Store'. I don't about the facebook photo up-loader widget installer but now that we mentioned facebook, i had a nagging issue.

When I got my N900, i would share photos on facebook and get this indications 'Uploaded via Nokia N900'. This was pretty cool! After a while, shared photos are indicated as 'Uploaded via Facebook Mobile'.

This is not a deal breaker but I would really love to know how to get back 'Uploaded via Nokia N900'. Any help?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Should be back to normal now since we all send nasty email to facebook because they started sending microB to mobile facebook

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Now the only bug is really annoying me is the menu bug :/ I can't move apps. After clicking "Done" it reverts back to original setting instead of saving. Anyone know how to fix it?

Re: PR 1.2 make me sad, alot bugs
 

why so many *** holes around here? just cause no one else complained doesnt mean he did something to screw it up. I am reading around this thread and i am a lil scared to update cause it seems like more trouble then its worth.


I say blame the firmware all you like, hel blame nokia or who ever you want. it's your perogative., i kinda feel your pain. it is just sad and not to reassuring that this stupid update finally comes out after all the threads and al the anticipation and all the debate and speculation and trash talking and sheesh... in the end its buggy as hell. it kinda makes you feel as if nokia is nt so concerned with our lil mobile faction anymore

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

after the updating firmware on n900 some new updates were available in application manager (don't remember their names). I clicked 'skip' and some time later I was trying to find these updates in application manager, but they totally dissappeared.

how to make them reappeared?

Re: PR 1.2 make me sad, alot bugs
 

You point fingers at other people pointing fingers. Just putting things in perspective.

Also, if you post trying to make your point of view seem better than the opposing point of view, spell checking and capital letters usually help.

It is, of course, you right to point said finger, but should you choose to use said right then accept their right to point their own fingers. Reverting to kindergarten mode and name calling is hardly the best way to make your point.

@alex_newman: Re-pressing update button in HAM should re-show missed updates.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

hah! I've tried it many many times. no effect.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

The post you quoted has been merged.

I assume you had, like me, the new versions of the apps in the store. All my 1.0 apps from OVI got updated to 1.01 upon PR 1.2, presumably some mass compatibility move.

However, the next time I updated I had like 15 or so updates, and after updating all they never appeared again. I assume they got updated.

If you have an OVI games or apps, what are their versions? You can check in the app manager's uninstall section. If they are 1.01, they probably just got installed bulk in an update.

Also, PR 1.2 added a fremantle-1.2 repository for me, is it enabled for you?

Re: PR 1.2 make me sad, alot bugs
 

I'm sorry, but what is 'HAM'? :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Works great for me, no bug so far. Love it...Great job Nokia.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

i have this bug as well... and yes it's just under the change backgrounds menu... although annoying, i'm thankful that this is the only bug that remains... when i updated to the new firmware and after it reboot ALL the labels were like that... so my layout was a mess... restoring to factory settings solved that but left the bug you mentioned.

...and no i don't have the facebook photo uploader widget installed on mine.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

I have no any OVI games or apps :( I removed them recently.

Re: PR 1.2 make me sad, alot bugs
 

Hildon Application Manager. It is a application to download new packages, and remove/update installed ones. You can start it from the menu by default.

Re: PR 1.2 make me sad, alot bugs
 

usual Application manager :)

no effect.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Well reading this thread, I think well can congratulate Nokia on the much anticipated PR1.2 release, it certainly blew my socks off in sheer terms of performance enhancement and the mind-boggling list of new features added.

The OTA update went without a hitch, with as few as 30% of owners having to perform a full re flash, and slightly less have bricked the phone completely. Although some reports suggest that the bricking phenomon is a simple user error in that they inadvertently removed the entire USB port from the N900 after charging.

Many sceptics were sceptical about delays after delays with this release, "I would rather wait and have them properly quality test it" was the cry from the faithful, the sceptics were scornfully told "Quality assurance takes time", thankfully the sceptics were just being sceptical and Nokia proved them wrong, additional extensive Quality Testing ensured virtually no bugs made it into this slightly delayed release.

All in all it has been a resounding success with just a few minor glitches caused by people buying the wrong device, installing something "stupid" to slow it down and failure to master vi. Some Nokia sources suggest that in fact it may be several generations before mankind has the ability to use the N900 to its full potential, as most problems are caused by users. In fact most users should consider a course in C to get the most out of the N900, preferably by rewriting the entire OS from the ground up.

For me the main highlights are:

Battery life is now extended, and can almost last a day when completely switched off. (removing the battery can apparently extend the battery life an additional 2 hours)

Portait mode can now be enabled in 3 more apps, by pressing ctrl + R + something else whilst standing on one leg simultaenously photographing and communicating telepathically with the N900

Email is now enhanced so you can now attach TWO attachments.

File manager can now handle files.

This release has obviously whetted the appetite for users for PR1.3, some say it may be released as early as next year, and rumours abound that native MMS support may be bought fom the ovi store.

A Nokia spokesman when congratulated on the game-changing PR1.2 release simply said "Wibble".

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Does anyone know what the problem is with conversations? When i select 'New IM' the window that pops up is unresponsive and i can't see who is online or not?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

does apt-get update or upgrade help me?
what the difference between these 2 commands?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

apt-get update: updates the list of software on repositories. It doesn't update anything else.

apt-get upgrade: Upgrades existing software to new version. So, do apt-get update to get a list of new software, then apt-get upgrade to get new software.

Re: PR 1.2 make me sad, alot bugs
 

Well, what's what I got in my first update prompt. To the best of my guess, if it's not listed, it's not updated.

If you want to sleep soundly, check some of your versions from HAM against the Maemo.org package list. If they aren't up to date, we'll keep digging but at this point I'm not sure anything IS wrong.

IIRC, HAM uses apt-get behind the scenes, so it wouldn't give you any advantages, except maybe list packages that are newer but not required.

@garyc2010

While quite humorous, I should point out that PR 1.2 is a bugfix release, mostly, and the enhancement list is short on purpose. Also, some were never bugs or were only experienced by a few people. One could make anything disappointing by looking from the wrong side.

Finally, while nice to read, this is a PS 1.2 bug hunt/help. Tongue-on-cheek rants would be better suited for off-topic? If nothing else, some of us would like to join in the fun.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

yes... working for me...

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

so, is it reccomended to do this procedure?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

I'm not sure if it works OK or not (I really don't have a minute to try it, but seems like it works) but here's the solution for menu bug:

Edit your /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu file, Paste this:

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

With menu customization is there any way to create folders or even bring back the more... button?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Dude, you seriously crack me up. All your 9 posts are completely hilarious. Your sarcasm is just fantastic. Thanks for your hilarious posts. Kudos.

About the pr1.2 tho, I haven't installed it yet, and I'm not going to until/ if this bug is fixed. That would just piss me off too much if that happend to me. But I was wondering, will this ever be fixed? If so, how, another update? I thought this would be the last version since they are probably just going to be working on MeeGo now. I haven't had my N900 for a very long time and this is the first update I see, really, so... any chance that this would be fixed any time soon? If not, I'll just stick with pr1.1, which works just fine :p

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

This will guide you:
http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Emesem#Cu...d_program_list
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ht=hildon.menu

Simply create a file called applications.directory in the directory /usr/share/applications/hildon by copying one of the other *.directory files and edit the applications.directory and set the name to "More" or "Others" or something you like better.

Btw. for me - there is no "menu bug" - just the missing applications.directory which needs to be created, thats it.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs

please help me for the second problem. 10x in advance

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Tried reflashing, what apps u got installed any devel/testing? Haven't experienced any of those issues.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

and my issue? How to fix it? I reflashed and it is the same

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

what I don't understand is why so many people are reporting bugs, yet hardly anyone that installed the leaked PR 1.2 reported any
or am I just being cynical and suspicious?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

i have flashed my n900 with nokia's released PR1.2 and have these problems:
"My Nokia" in settings won't oppen and always crash
Internet browser too slow
Media player doesnt work properly after calls
A lot of applications crashes while multitasking specially the contacts application

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

Recommended, no. Don't think it will hurt, though, if you keep to the correct syntax. Remember, running a terminal as root is the best way to nuke everything by missing a letter.

Not sure what you expect though. I don't think you have any apps to update. Can you point out an app that has a lower version than the latest? Do a cross-check with maemo.org/packages or what's it called.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2: Bugs
 

so it acts just like other phones now.
