Edit: went away after a reboot. Hmmph.

Has this come back at all? Maybe you just hadn't rebooted yet since your update?
If it has, please make sure you log it in the bug-tracker

Frustratingly no. The manual feed would only sync which ever was working at that given time.

I have since reset (restore settings) the phone and the feed appears to be working again!

Gmail still has outgoing server issues though so am stuck using MfE.

just annoying little things that prevent it from being a hassle free experience.

1) Gmail. Had SMTP server issues, went to MfE, read a fix about changing language to US English, all worked well until today when it randomly starts with the SMTP errors again. Cant send email. V annoying!

2) Feed. Using Fbook & Twitter. Randomly stops updating feed with one or the other. again just annoying.

3) SatNav has been shakey at best.

All I want is a nice stable existance!!

do you use 2 step verification with google?
i haven't had any trouble with twitter or fb updates, so sorry can't help there.
satnav, i've had one or two small hiccups, but on the whole works well for me..

are you on the latest firmware?

The contacts are all stored, with one number only having one contact but all i see now is +447........ for all the mobile numbers that have text me.

Please report this in bug-tracker...

Also this if it's not already reported.
clovis seemed to think it was already a bug in 1.0.

Then again if i look at tweets in my timeline i can see the tweet i tried to retweet from my n9, and it says "undo retweet", which wont undo anything since twitter.com doesnt show me having retweeted it at all.
"Undo retweet" turns briefly into "retweet", which when pressed says this:
"Your account may not be allowed to perform this action. Please refresh the page and try again."
Which doesnt help.
So it seems my n9 broke twitter.

Perhaps some limitation of the client, or the API that clients are allowed to use?
Or the API this particular client's using, or how it's using it?
Maybe try fMobi or twimgo and see if you have the same issues?

Based on some of the other threads, I'd def. recommend a protector.
Gorilla glass is far from immune to scratches...
There's an official one, and some are fine with it.
There is also this....
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/...ns-shields.php
I would also recommend the hard case...
http://shootspeak.com/2011/11/20/nok...nokia-cc-3015/
It's pretty damn ugly, but it's the most suitable case right now.
As it protects the screen, & the silicon one that comes with the N9 doesn't.
More options will appear eventually, same for screen protector.

Pretty sure errors relating to (1) & (2) where addressed more than once in the two big threads the Nokia devs started for those areas.
As I recall they were being resolved (at least in part) with 1.1, but you'd need to review those threads for the full detail.
Never seen people complain much about (3) at all till 1.1, everyone else before seemed to think it was way better than N900.

Have you actually updated to 1.1 yet? Once you have do a full reset.
Only back-up stuff like docs/music/vids etc, then manually reconfigure everything.

Then see how it all goes...
If it definitely remains, check that all of these issues are filed as bugs.
If any aren't, make sure you report them.

@afaq did merging resolve your issue??
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=883
If so I'll include it in the original post as a work-around.

Re: N9 PR1.X: answer questions & get help!

@ Everyone

I've updated the OP with work-arounds that've popped-up since I last checked this thread.
If you can see I've missed a fix, or something looks to be incorrect, please do let me know.

Perhaps you think there's a better way to present the collective's info/learning going forward?
Either way I'm all ears....

The vast majority of people posting are asking for help, very few are sharing helpful info.
Please if you ever do find solutions, make sure you don't forget to share it with everyone!

I'll probably also start a live Google doc next week & link to it from the OP.
That way people can add to this doco whenever, & the OP & the Google doc can cross-pollinate one another.

See you in approx. 1-week again....

Re: N9 PR1.X: answer questions & get help!

your OP link is not working :(

Re: N9 PR1.X: answer questions & get help!

I have noticed that twitter integration with contacts is bugged, If i reboot it looses the sync with contacts that are in twitter, only way to re-add them is disabling and re-enabling twitter in accounts.

anyone has this issue also,

sorry if it was already mentioned and I missed it.

Re: N9 PR1.X: answer questions & get help!
