PR 1.3 for N950?
 

So what's the story, did Nokia drop releases N950 altogether?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Think so. No need to support them since they where free.. Better to try to boot up tizen on them.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

maybe it worth to repack debs from n9-pr1.3 fw and install them over n950-pr1.2 ... or maybe other overiding hacks ...

maybe 1st is to rebuild a kernel ?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

did it actually even get the proper 1.2 release? Dropping n950 "support" makes sense to me since (afaik) the device's purpose was to give application devs a head start before the n9 came out. Related to that: did the qt-components api, etc. even change in the update. If not, it is still 100% usable as a application developer device.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

It would be nice to get at least a OCF for PR1.3 !

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Don't know, but probably the maemo staff is spread so thin that N950 is very low priority. So it might very well be PR1.3 is not coming. In fact, I think it's likely it won't come to N950, as we never got even PR1.2 final.

However, it is apparently possible to upgrade N950 to PR1.3 by changing the repositories to N9 repos and going from there. I won't give instructions here as I haven't done it myself. I just read it in #harmattan so at least it seems possible.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

There would only be one reason to try upgrading the 950. If they fixed the bug with jumping cursor in textareas. Otherwise I don't think I should have updated the N9 either.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

The bug with jumping cursor? Give me some steps to reproduce and I'll check this on my N950.
Also there's a nice photo on rzr page showing N950 with PR 1.3 :).

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

With Harmattan team supposedly leaving Nokia I don't really have hopes for any future updates and I think the community should start paying more attention to Mer/Nemo, since it's what's left and what has a future. I'd use Nemo even now, if not for the lack of proper e-mail client there. I think developers should stop dancing around the dead system, and should pour more resources into community efforts. It's a shame Nokia didn't open source the Harmattan e-mail client though. Such a waste of effort.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

maybbe more people will sell the n950s, meaning someone like me can attempt to buy them lol

Try to reply to this message. Start typing but stop before the line wraps. Move the cursor by touching the screen to the middle of the sentence. Press down to go to the end of the sentence to continue writing. Start typing. The cursor jumps to the middle of the sentence, where you touched before.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Works for me. But I‘m also using libmeegotouch from master :D.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

The n900 did this too. In fact I suspect this is an issue with the t.m.org javascript rich textarea code, more than with the phones.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

The N900 never did this to me. It also does it in other websites, and twitter app.

@arcean, care to give a hint how to do that (libmeegotouch from master)
is there a repo, .deb, or do I have to build?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

There's a repo @ gitorious: http://meego.gitorious.net/meegotouc...commits/master
Please keep in mind that I'm using this in parallel with PR 1.3.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Hmm odd. I just had the cursor jump on chrome on an x86 based ubuntu system on this richtext box. These sites could well share the same JS common libraries but also this could indeed be a bug in the JS rendering, but I've never seen this jumping around in a native text box on the phone, only via the browser.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

There's really no reason the packages can't be upgraded to the ones from the N9. Even if no OCF bin is released, it should be trivial to OTA an N9, (or extract from N9 OCF) pull the binary packages out of ~archives and re-write the control files to ensure no versioning dependencies happen.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

argh...! So after upgrading from beta pr1.2 to pr 1.3, it gives me that annoying warning message everytime i boot the device, like it's on openmode (since pr1.3 has a different kernel, it thinks that I have an openkernel...)

Can't we make a pr1.3 kernel for n950 users? or is the official n9 pr1.3 kernel suitable for the n950 aswell?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

THIS.

would give my left nut for one of those

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

How did you upgrade your N950?

Using the N9 repos?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

What about this bug: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85609?

It it fixed in PR1.3 for N950?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

If you mean minor cosmetic feature which is not bug and which only happens in a developer device, then the answer is that of course it's not fixed. And as it's not critical bug in N9 then that feature will remain there.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

So does anybody have a tested guide to update an N950 to PR1.3 without completly bricking it?

I tried the N9 repo way and I got an N950 that auto uninstalls every deb package it could find. Even the lockscreen was uninstalled after some minutes.
After reflashing PR1.2 I had a working system but I can't use my SIM card because anything fails everytime I try to flash PR1.2 again. No no mobile internet connect, messages or telephone functions.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

0. I Take No Responsibility For Anything.
In any case do not install mp-harmattan-001-pr package!
1. Make a backup.
2. Add N9 repo.
3. 4. 5. When upgrade process finishes:
type this in Terminal (SSH prefered):
http://pastebin.com/CgrLRZud
You may have to apt-get install some other installed packages. You're doing this to fix apt-get autoremove, otherwise It'll wipe your OS.
6. Congrats, you may safely reboot the N950 :).

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Wow, that's probably not a good idea. I am sure Nokia has a newer build than the publicly released one, maybe we should try asking them for it!

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

You mean asking Nokia for thr N950 version of PR1.3? I don't think there is one. The last people working on any MeeGo specific had just enough time to publish PR1.3 in a rush. I don't think there is anybody inside Nokia who has a PR1.3 or even pre PR1.3 for our dev phone. And even if there is someone we won't get it.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Please do your research there is a beta PR1.3 for the N950 just not publicly released.... though I'm sure if someone was inclined enough they could find it.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

There have to be one because there is a final, but nothing got released.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

That's my point. I'm emailing the one employee I can find from the meego team that linked-in says works there still. I know they have the beta update for 1.3 internally, if they are planning to release it soon then I think you guys should wait. If they're not planning to release it soon, I think you guys should wait. I will not say more.

Btw they can't just fire everyone from the team, if there is a critical security flaw or huge bug found they still need to fix it.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Here is my experience guys:

Added the N9 repo from N9QT
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get upgrade

On reboot, disclaimer appears saying modded fw, but this can be fixed prior to the update. Fix can be found on these forums

The fw version, although being PR 1.3, is still signed as 1.2. Therefore, reflashable. I have done this on my own device. No issues have been found.

Edit: I have used the OCF again, and it fails to flash cmt-mcusw

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Ok... I have the same... what are you getting at?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

In other words the method you described isn't safe?

I'm really careful about flashing my N950 . Don't want it ot end up like a dead brick or to be unflashable.

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

In other words, if you use that method for 1.3, don't flash it. I fixed the issue myself, and have a device with no issues what so ever, but not many will have the same ability

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

Yeah, if you got it from nokia instead of buying it you wouldnt have to worry about that......

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

So you can still flash it with official PR1.2 firmware for N950 if your PR1.3 hack goes wrong?

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

No

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

if there is no safe option to do it, i would say, stay on PR1.2
but... MFaroTusino, can you make an image of your phone maybe, to be flashable for us, others? :)

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

no cfw-ing here :S u forgot? D:

Re: PR 1.3 for N950?
 

wook you can do it if you are ready to put your phone into open mode :D
