Please no bashing..... but whats the point if we can't even do calls yet.

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

I think the nitdroid team should keep working on Froyo so we can at least make voice calls with voice.

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

You know what is odd about that? That Gingerbread uses the 2.6.35 linux kernel and that is running a 2.6.32 kernel (like Froyo). Doesn't mean it is fake, but does make it suspect.

I think Nitdroid team is doing us a favor, and "should" work on anything that they want. If they want to return to cupcake, we must only to be thankful.

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

The best answer to this is that calls don't work... YET.

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

who need calling when you have Skype working?

who needs calling when Ventrilo working on nitdoird?

who needs calling when Gtalk is working on nitdroid?

ppl that cant/dont use the above

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

Fair point not everyone is tech savy but if they have GingerBread on there N900, I would of thought most of them would be lol ><
Or they have got a tech savy mate to install Gingerbread onto there phones for them.

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

Use it as an Internet Tablet? And calls work. The other party just can't hear you. :p

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

i think working on both wont do much harm and once a driver has been found, porting it to another os isnt much of a big issue..

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

i think it would be cool if they could make it so that maemo can use the market and install and use android apps!

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

Oh google, stop releasing new versions so soon. How will e-yes manage to do it alone? I am sure he don't have much spare time, except for the holiday till 10th jan.

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

Me when I have free calls on my contract but don't have an account with any of them?

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

It's not the nitdroid team's fault you can't make phonecalls yet. The ability to make calls on the n900 is behind a proprietory application and no source code is available to make it work.

The only option is to wait until the ofono project reaches a mature state where making calls and texting(?) is reliable on the n900.

I believe members of the MeeGo project are working on ofono so you can either wait until it works or if you have some programming skill contribute to the ofono project yourselves.

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

One question! Is it possible to divert calls when using this? So that if i was to get a call it's diverted to my wifes number or any other usable phone? That would be a quick fix at the moment... I think?

Didnt try Nitdroid in awhile...

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

My understanding is that it is not a problem with ofono. Calling works (you can make and receive calls and use data)! The problem is with the sound (microphone). It wasn't very long ago that you couldn't use voice search.

I believe that the issue is that maemo uses pulseaudio and android uses alsa. Once the issues there get worked out (ie the microphone works), then calling will "work".

Re: New Gingerbread 2.4 Cming Soon
 

That wouldn't matter when you're booting into different OS's though. And that doesn't explain why texts don't work. I may be wrong though. Pulseaudio is something I've always somehow managed to break. I love my ALSA.
