Any vendors still selling PR1.2 equipped N9's?
 

Just curious if anyone has purchased or knows someone who has purchased an N9 recently(last month-ish) from either an Amazon or Ebay seller and received a phone with PR1.2 installed. I'm sick to death of auto completion working like crap, as well as my user dictionary being deleted after ever reboot. Would prefer 64 gig variant, but I would be willing to downgrade to 16!

While I'm on the subject of annoyances from my N9, any one have a solution to the browser randomly crashing all open web pages with the "could not open page" showing on all the pages?

Hope somebody can be of help, love my N9, just wish I could get one with PR1.2! Thanks in advance!

from HK. I haven't purchase anything from it though so decision is yours

I guess using SwipeManager correctly would be another bonus. Or did that stop working properly after PR1.1 already? I mean it still works on PR1.3 but the lag is terrible and makes me not use it.

For the browser I simply installed the pr1.2 grob packages using aegis export origin. You could do the same for other packages you have issues with and enjoy a hybrid device ;)


Note: I did the above a long time ago (>6months) and don't have access to my N9 now so I'm not sure whether i modified mp-harmattan's dependencies too... Experiment and enjoy :D

where is your N9?

Both my N9s' usb ports are screwed hence I can't charge them :o

This is the one thing I won't miss of Nokia (my n8 had the same issue) :D

Last thursday I got one.
Didn't hesitate to upgrade to 1.3 (I recalled something about poor radio & battery performance long ago)
More info here
The one I got was labelled as 'Made in Finland' and the paper manuals were only in Suomi!

Good luck!

@thedead1440

I'm extremely interested in learning more about installing packages from pr1.2 onto my pr1.3 device. I'm not really sure about where to begin figuring out how to do that, though. Where can I find a list of packages from pr1.2? How would I go about downloading the packages? If I could replace all packages related to text input/word dictionary files I would be absolutely ecstatic. Also, were you able to notice much of a difference with the pr1.2 web browser grob package compared to the pr1.3 browser? My main issue with web is the annoyingly often crashes with "could not load page". Any threads with relevant information? I searched a few times with no real luck.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to everyone else for your input as well!

Not OT but..
Now when you are close to finnish you might want to know what your forum name means in finnish. :p

[spoiler]It means sh*t :D[/spoiler]

Ps. I know spoilers wont work here.

Now I know why the username was free when I registered !! :D

Just curious - and also OT - (I suppose there are many finnish around here). Google translate for **** is paska.
Does it make any difference?

Regards.

Re: Any vendors still selling PR1.2 equipped N9's?
 

Unfortunately, yes :D

The finnish language is constructed a bit differently than english, where the mode of the word is indicated by adding a preposition. In finnish there are nearly 50 different cases that a word can be (altough normally just something like 20 is used) and these are indicated by changing of the (usually) end part of the word.

So, "pasko" would be the act of crapping, in singular first past tense.

O.K. I'll try to live with it. ;)
On the other hand, I would like to 'retaliate' by letting the forum know that Lumia in Spanish means 'prostitute', although many fellow Spaniards don't know about it.
I bet this had something to do (although not much) with the fate of Nokia lately.

Regards.

Re: Any vendors still selling PR1.2 equipped N9's?
 

Yes, this info was well circulated in Finland too, when the first Lumia phones appeared :)
I find it very descriptive :D

:D:D

I am not surprised, provided what Mr. Elop has done in the last 3 years.
