Problem! Any Ideas What's Causing this?
 
just went to send a text message and the screen looked like this:
i have got cssu updates installed and using pwer kernel42.
Yesterday i managed it install fcam drivers and install bless900 nothing else has recently been installed.
nearly forgot i dl'd optimizeN900 script this morning which i have run.
It is doing this on sms screens and file manager screens

fcam and BlessN900 conflict IIRC, uninstall one of them using
Code:

apt-get purge
to clean the system entirely of any traces and reboot.

i've only got bess900 and the fcam drivers, not the fcam application itself?
so with running power kernel42 i should remove fcam drivers and bless900?

Re: Problem! Any Ideas What's Causing this?
 
the one when you've had the battery out and it asks you to re-input the date/time and language or location.

That's been false for a really long time (unless the updates never made their way down to testing/extras, but I'm very sure they did.)

BlessN900 conflicted with FCam only right after FCam came out, when BlessN900 was using different drivers/code (not sure what exactly). Then BlessN900 was updated to use the FCam drivers, and since then they've been able to coexist.

wouldn't it be awesome if there was a keystroke for AUTOMATIC REFLASH e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Delete+Delete.

So quick and easy.

funkmunk 2011-03-23 19:18

Re: Problem! Any Ideas What's Causing this?
 
I agree with Mentalist Traceur..

BlessN900 & FCam should not be the reason for this mess up...

They have been sorted out a long time back and work fine now...

A quick and easy way to get fifty threads weekly of people crying "help I accidentally use the auto reflash feature, how do I fix?" with descriptive and poetic titles such as "help plz", "OMG THE WORLD IS GONNA BLOW UP IF YOU DON'T HELP ME NOW", and "Nokia you suck".

There's enough of that already. A good self-reflashing program that can be run from on-board the device would be lovely, but having it on by default and within reach of a mere couple of key presses... Dear god.

Probably a memory leak from some application that u run before... Was the battery low?

corduroysack 2011-03-23 20:01

Re: Problem! Any Ideas What's Causing this?
 
no battery fully charged, it was weird because i had that strange layout with the initial add date/time/location (the screen you get to when you have removed battery for a bit) then i installed the wrong fcam drivers and the screen sorted itself out even if it was red lol
then i tracked down a earlier fcam driver and installed that via xterm along with blessn900 all working perfectly.
texting today and that came up with with the pick in original post
so thought pull the battery and the initial screen came up but with no images and all white but icons still pressed and functioned just as boxes.
the texting screen seems to be ok since pulling battery but the other screen is still messed up?

3 fingered salute would be brilliant lol joking aside i reflashed about 2 weeks ago and could only flash root after removing power46

Any overclocking / undervolting going on? If so, go back to stock settings, see if that helps.

corduroysack 2011-03-23 20:32

Re: Problem! Any Ideas What's Causing this?
 
sudo kernel-config load lv
sudo kernel-config limits 250 850

i don't have it permanently clocked, i use queen beecon to overclock to the above profile after i've rebooted.

Re: Problem! Any Ideas What's Causing this?
 
if i remove fcam driver and bless900 i would get my date/time screen back to normal tbh though being able to use bless900 outways the messed up date/time just wondered if there was a work around.
