Re: Nokia N800 odd hissing sound

So what you meant was the barely audible sound that is only detectable when you put your ear next to the speaker? Why didn't you say so? Then, yes, I think that is normal and as the good Dr. noted,...

Re: Video player on the 800 - best practice?

Yeah - just went back and looked at my video. 28 Weeks Later, and the action sequence at the beginning of the movie (about 9 minutes in) was clipping like crazy in other versions. This one - with...

Re: Video player on the 800 - best practice?

I'm prolly just clueless. But Media Player with a Handbrake ripped file, converted with UK's converter seems to work well enough to do some fine tuning with the settings....

Re: Video player on the 800 - best practice?

I have yet to get MPlayer to work correctly. Mainly, sound doesn't sync. This is for unaltered files (have a couple of WMV clips - which look great but the sound was like a second off), and...

Re: pre-800 owner skeered away

Don't have Orb, didn't copy the file over, just streamed the music file from my laptop and then, because my wife wasn't impressed, a file from her laptop to the N800.

The File Manager saw the...

Re: pre-800 owner skeered away

Re: pre-800 owner skeered away

Another tip - for Calendaring, I use the double whammy of GPE Calendar and Erminig. GPE Calendar is a pretty simple calendar app that gets the job done, and it can sync to Google Calendar with...

Re: It's time for new OS2008 firmware update

I've had more success with GPE Summary using the scroll buttons at the top and bottom of the scroll bar. I think it's less a bug than a design issue interfering with the OS2008. In other words,...

Re: I'm off! Have fun with the N8x0!

That's kind of what I was aiming at, Texrat. Looked at a Blackberry, but didn't like the form factor, and was tired of squinting at WAP pages. So I got a normal thin phone and the N800. Problem...
