Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

Hey guys i was just wondering; after the update, did the phone permanently delete all of my installed apps? or did it just hide it or something?

and if it did delete all of my apps, which i don't really mind, did it free my installed apps memory? after the update i only had 1.8gb. is that the standard size after the update? i wouldn't want the update to just hide my old apps, and let it build up and waste my installed apps memory space..

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

crochil mycontacts not working. does not show any contacts, either in the app or in the widget.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

ohh i thought it was just mine. yeah my mycontacts does not show any contacts either.

@ armand360
Then yes, all your 'user memory' had been wiped. If you made a backup just prior to update, it is as simple as restore that.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

i did a backup, but all it did was show me a list of all my apps that i have to redownload. which is okay with me. when you say 'user memory had been wipe', did it permanently delete all of it? like there's nothing left behind? don't really like the idea of old files stacking up..

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

I had to update via PC.
I did make a backup before.

The update wiped my phone completely.
I start to restore the backup, and after maybe 15 minutes of restoring file it PC Suite tells me that "Due to lack of space in the phone memory the following files were copied to your PC..."

And it's a never ending list of files, mostly music and photos.

But where the hell are all my apps?

Also, I open file manager on the phone and it says no files or folders found... :mad:


EDIT: Now I can see and restore all my files and apps...
I was mad there for a moment.
Nokia needs to make this a little more user friendly.

@Armand360 Are you checking your space with Conky?

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

how to install meego duel bot with maemo ? i cant see option to do it .. sorry for noob question

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

I did my update with "apt-get upgrade"

It worked fine.
(It stopped because there was not enough memory. But after a restart of the update with "dpkg" everything went fine.)

I had to do anothether "apt-get upgrade" for some special applications.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

sorry, your question clearly states that you are not qualified for using the dual boot option. so you should wait until a developer utilizes the dual boot option and uploads an app using it somewhere so you can install it.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

yes, apps were permanently deleted. system partition was completely rewritten. (I presume you updated via pc)

so now you have to restore the apps from backup (with HAM) and voila, your custom preferences and settings are still intact.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

Here's a weird one.

It appears that I can't add or delete anything but wireless connections in Settings in the Internet Connections area. I have something I called GPRS ipv6 (that's the name I gave the connection) and one called T-Mobile Internet. When I highlight either of them, Delete is grayed out. If I try to add a new connection, I can choose Wireless but not GPRS.

I don't think this was the case before I updated. My connection with the label I created, GPRS ipv6, won't work today. It was working yesterday.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

I think that was the case even before PR 1.3. Only wireless connections can be added/modified. For other GPRS/3G connections fAPN was used. It still works after 1.3.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

install "FAPN" it lets you create and delete access points (but you can only delete the ones you created) so what evers there will still be there

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

no, i went to settings and saw my memory there. is the default given installable apps memory 1.8gb?


ohh okay. so this phone is almost as new ey? okay thanks. i already download all my apps back. wasn't a lot anyway. just thought there were olds apps piling up without me knowing.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

In simple terms yes, if you upgraded to 1.3 via PC you have the phone in a brand-new-updated state. The backup you did just before upgrading contains every info to restore the apps you used before, so you have to confirm and let the N900 to redownload and reinstall all the old apps for you, and then everything should be fine. It could work not 100% for 'special settings' - let's say if you stay on tracks and don't use extras-testing and extras-devel repositories you are safe, otherwise you have to start to know a little bit more about your N900 ;).

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

after 1.3 I can't download some files on Ovistore (themes, wallpapers)

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

Actually, for my understanding, that was Nokia N900 software version 20.2010.36-2, not PR1.3?! Is that true?

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

It is PR1.3. You can read here:

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

lol at quoting wikipedia as a reliable source of information, you do realize that anyone can put anything on wikipedia right? the edits are even done by someone from the USA, so in all likelyhood not by someone at nokia

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

same here.My contacts list is empty.App himself shown on desktop.
I reinstalled and installed but no changes.
Does somebody had luck and somehow successfully get list back?
:eek:

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

Before up-dating, the device will ask you to make a back-up. Did u make 1 ?? ( Hope u did )

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

)ust a thought, most of the screw ups seem to be user issues rather than software or hardware. Is there anyway to keep the update instructions on the active topics of the forum during the duration of maemo update (bout a week or so) to help out the noobs?
Thanks.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

First, some of N900 users live in the USA, so someone from the USA can know something about Maemo :).
Second, if the quotes from Wikipedia weren't true, they would be deleted from the article quickly, by anybody who would know that the information isn't true.
Encyclopedia looks like a reliable source of information, even if it is Wikipedia.

Here is how I have just updated.
1. set up USB Networking (I don't want to flash and erase all the information), with Ubuntu, as I'm too lazy to set it up with Windows;
Read N900 USB Networking in wiki.
http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking
1.1. type "ifup usb0"; it should say "already configured";
1.2. type "ping 192.168.2.15"; if it cannot ping, type "ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.15";
1.3. type "ping <some local IP of your LAN>"; if it cannot ping, type "route add default gw 192.168.2.14";
1.4. type "ping google.com"; if it cannot ping, check that your LAN can ping google.com.
1.5 try to set up a dummy network; browser can see the web, Dummy is listed in Internet Connections in Settings, but HAM still cannot see the web because Dummy isn't in the list of suggested connections;
2. apt-get update;
3. apt-get upgrade;
4. apt-get install mp-fremantle-generic-pr;
5. by now you have run out of space, haven't you?
6. apt-get autoremove, apt-get clean, df -h /;
7. try "apt-get -f install mp-fremantle-generic-pr" or something else, don't remember exactly;
8. Success: you can see this line:
Setting up mp-fremantle-generic-pr (20.2010.36-2)
9. Reboot to see new version in About.
10. Contacts and most settings and installed application are intact. Except transitions.ini and unlocked FM transmitter.
If /etc/mce/mce.ini (including LED patterns) was modified, you would be asked whether you want to update it or not; you can make a backup and then update it to the new version (as you don't have diff, you cannot see the differences between your and new versions).
I don't see much immideate improvements; I'm going to change transitions.ini again and return LED patterns.

I'm glad that the update improves battery life and speed in general.
There are about fifty bugs fixed?

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

there may be 50 bugs (so they claim) corrected ...but i would guess there are about 100 more bugs created by this update..this update is a disgrace.

Re: Apps after PR 1.3 update
 

What does "the edits are even done by someone from the USA" mean? Are Wikipedia articles only edited by Americans? I don't think so.

And Wikipedia articles should be sourced and should be fairly reliable. And the assumption that anything posted by someone from Nokia would be totally reliable is of course false.
