I've no flatrate. n900 does regulary updates of the software. I don't need that. I've tried everything of maemo wiki. my /var/lib/gconf/apps/hildon/update-notifier/%gconf.xml file shows: ?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="blink-after" mtime="1280353508" type="int" value="1440"/> <entry name="check_interval" mtime="1284968752" type="int" value="20160"/> </gconf> ~ Nokia-N900:~# gconftool -g /apps/hildon/update-notifier/check_interval yields: 20160 This should be an update every two weeks. But it does an update every time I connect to the internet after one or two days.
