Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

My N900 has the PR1.2 '203' variant, and when I ask it to check for updates, the two Nokia and one Ovi repo. all fail to update with an error of (in 'detail') 'Proxy CONNECT aborted'.
If I swap from Vodafone GPRS to my local WiFi, then the refresh succeeds fine, so it's not that the repos are offline, it's something up with Vodafone UK.

Can anyone confirm or even better shed some light on what is up ?

hehe, that happenned on the first update so i flashed to global :) - no problems since ;)

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

I presume you were not offered the PR1.3? I also have the dreaded 203 variant, thinking about going global as I still haven't been offered the update.

check via wifi to confirm your theory first :) :)
edit i was offered - but only to install via nokia suite though :P (probably due to rootfs space - back on wireless now and installing as i type)

I'm on the global firmware using a Vodafone sim, and I haven't been offered the update via wi-fi or the GPRS connection yet either. So maybe it's just not our time yet. For what it's worth, I don't get any proxy blocked error message using the GPRS connection to check the Nokia repos.

I got impatient and decided to switch to global firmware, worked a treat. I did a backup first and restored after refllashing:


C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5>flasher-3.5.exe -F c:\RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Is anything different with the global firmware ? i.e. allowed WiFi frequencies etc. ?

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

Yep, one or more of the higher wifi channels is not used in the global firmware. Can't remember if its just channel 13 or others too.

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

You're thinking of bug 5699, which affects both the global and 203 variants equally.

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

Ah, could be. I shifted my AP up to a high channel number and the N900 followed it when it changed. However it wouldn't use the same channel after a reboot, which seemed a bit odd.

I wasn't aware of that particular bug report.

Re-read posts to confirm your theory I didn't :-)

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

My phone saw the 203 variant today over 3G, but Vodafone now appear to have closed off the connection again, before it could actually download :-(
Over WiFi i bet it's now available though I can't check right now.

It's not on the tablets-dev site yet however.

I havent had a single app update since pr 1.3. using global firmware, all catalogues seem to be failing

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

If you run refresh in the app manager, then click 'details', then a failed repo. what does it say at the very bottom is the reason ?
Over Wifi or Vodafone (3G) ?

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

Ok extras and extras devel are failing, along with a few others, mozilla etc, just says temporary failure resolving repository.maemo.org

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

Looks like a failure with your WiFi/mobile provider then.

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

Yes seems to be looking that way, question is, what can i do about it? Tried over wifi and gprs

Re: Vodafone UK blocking access to Nokia repositories ?
 

Maybe you've modified the network settings to not get the DNS server automatically, or mucked up /etc/resolv.conf by hand ?
I guess you tried rebooting already ?

Oh, and this isn't about Vodafone's blocking/broken proxy, so might be worth a new thread !
