What is PR 1.2?
 

Hey you guys you are talking about PR 1.2

What is this?
Is it kind of new firmware?
What features a new?
Why you are so hot for it?

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Mainly just bugfixes.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

You could say that it's service pack 1 for N900.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

pr 1.2 my friend is the notorious firware update of our phone resposible for a 2700 over post of speculation.. just read the threads youll know what it is lol..

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

It is the update that superseeds PR 1.1 and is followed by PR 1.3.
The thread about it is mainly one big joke as this is an update like any other update. Bugfixes and enhancements.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Bec its not just ordinary bug fixes. Qt makes it quite different and it has big impact on many things.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

I'm currently waiting for version 2.5 of my Kindle software. There isn't any frenzy about it, because Amazon has announced it will be available for general release at the end of May.

Nokia, in its infinite wisdom, won't give out that kind of information, so people show up here every day and discuss whether 1.2 is available yet. It would not be important at all if Nokia gave a firm day for its release.

As it is, lots of people want one of its features or another and every day are getting their N900s ready for the upgrade by minimizing the number of programs they run and making space, and thinking about how the changes will affect them.

Nokia plans things so its users are in a permanent frenzy. They actually don't plan for the users to be in a frenzy, but the way they plan things PUTS the users in a permanent frenzy. This is not particularly good for Nokia, but they don't seem to care. It is kind of interesting for users, as if the circus was always in town.

a myth ................ :(

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

No instead they would just get plenty of angry users if they missed the update date (see launch of N900).

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

I suggest we merge this to the main PR 1.2 thread before it grows any further.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Simply put necoicould, PR1.2 contains what is called "Qt" version 4.6, which all new software is being coded in. The problem that is started to occur is software development is grinding to a halt because version 4.6 only comes out when PR1.2 comes out. So essentially we cannot move forward with improving N900 software until it's released.

Hence why the anticipation for it's release is so large. There are already applications sitting in the development repository that you are unable to install because the N900 does not have Qt 4.6.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

And imagine the angry users they'd get if they gave themselves plenty of time for the release and then released early! Wow! Actually, who would be made angry if a release came out before it was scheduled?

How does Amazon avoid this problem, by the way? Is software from Amazon not subject to unpredictability?

what is qt 4.6

oh and while were at it...

"whats moonlighting?"

lets see who knows what movie that quote is from :)

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Yes, it the latest update for your N900
List of new and fixed items are around, at least 300 public bugs fixed as part of this update
Pre-integrated Qt is perhaps the most important :)
However lots of people have been watching for bugs they are interested in
Because it represents the hard work a lot of people have put into our N900
timing of the SDK transition was a little off so people got more eager for it.
However its allowed new innovations to come server side to support backwards compatibility for released packages.

update for devices should come asap :)

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

It`s something that can give you strokes or heart attacks if you wait for it for too long!

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Nokia's version of Duke Nukem Forever

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Sure, but the thing is that we are talking something that's in a bigger scale and device that people actually need. It will go more of testing.
You don't see any of the big phone manufacturers releasing their updates before it's done.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

There was once a dream that was PR 1.2. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish...

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Like the Atlantis. ;)

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

I thought today might be the day.. but alas no :(

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

just a dream!!!!!

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Its like the cake, its a lie

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

I had the same question, and as it's always recommended, before asking, forums should be browsed.

I did and after a lot of reading, I'm not sure what exactly PR1.2 is, but I know for sure it is related to Chuck Norris.

Basically, PR1.2 is the end of Nokia's days of glory.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

PR1.2 is the food of the trolls.

Re: What is PR 1.2?

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

april is over :(

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

PR1.2 is a small, flightless, genetically modified bird, apparently it tastes like chicken but no one can verify this as one has never actually been seen. its kind of like a higgs boson particle thingamybob. at this moment nokia are developing an underground large hildon collider in the hope that PR1.2 will be discovered and shed some light on QT4.6

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

PR1.2 is a science fiction technology. The computer programmer from Nokia is working really hard to make it a reality one day.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

so much fun on last April Friday :)

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

Nonsense, most N900 software is not using Qt at all so there's nothing to stop you from improving it. Go for it.

Secondly, Qt 4.6 has already been available in extras-devel since January or sometime around there... and you can download it since then for any apps which require it, which there are several of. I have it on my N900 right now; you might too.

As far as "All new software is being coded in" Qt 4.6, as wikipedia would say: [citation needed]. I think is a wrong assumption. In fact I would guess that the vast majority of Maemo/N900 developers don't use Qt at all at this point.

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

PR 1.2 is a like a Unicorn of Nokia universe. Everybody knows about it, but no one has seen it :)

Re: What is PR 1.2?
 

PR1.2 is a myth. A spook story.

Mafia members tell their kids, "Don't rat on your pops, or PR1.2 will get you."

Forget about it.
