My N900 has gone crazy, advice please.
 

ok,

App manager not functioning, repositorys are gone and says i have no apps installed and gives operation failed message when i try to move around.

In the More... menu some Apps don't work anymore and some icons are missing but there is a blank space where they should be.

Conky no longer works.

When i try to do a back-up restore it failes because there is not enough space.

Main menu transitions sometimes mess up.

In settings, memory, 572.9 MB is available for applications.

I have noticed that when browsing through the system directorys using cuteexplorer every app i ever installed is still there in /home/opt/ and can be run, even when i uninstalled some of these apps using the app manger.

Restarting the n900 does not fix the problem.

Advice please, thanks...

Did you do anything (like install something, or maybe play with system commands that you dont have knowledge of) after which all this started happening or you just restarted the device one day and found this behavior?
Consider reflashing the device?

i had the problem, i flashed the fimware, all better

I did install some apps the previous evening but did not notice any problems until later today, i was using my phone a lot this morning and everything was ok.

How can i reflash and completely remove everything using windows 7.

Thanks

Re: My N900 has gone crazy, advice please.

lol Ashley, everything is ok... the good thing about the N900 is that if everything fails... flashing the device is your best friend..

here's how you flash the firmware: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware

Hi All,

My n900 also seem to act strange....I installed and was using "My Menu" app, however I came across Catorise and then installed that on my device. Post installation the device got hung as the menu structure got all messed up.....

Now, I cannot see "Application Manager", "File Manager" Backup and many other Icons in my Menu (which is the Original Menu...as I restored the "Original Factory Settings"). :( In fact the only Icons visible in Menu are:

1. Phone
2. Contacts (My contacts is not visible)
3. E-mail
4. Settings
5. Web
6. Media Player
7. Calender
8. Photos
9. Maps
10. Camera
11. Conversations
12. Clock
13. Calculator
14. Ovi store

None of the icons related to any other app is visible......(I installed a number of those...)

Does anybody has any solution as to How can I get all those Icons back in the Menu.

I am not a power user, hence request you to please elaborate on any "Tech" terminology used in the suggestion/solution......

Thanks
Ak
(P.S- I am using the n900 with latest firmware PR1.2...India edition bought at Nokia store in India in June 2010)
