Ok, so I have a weird problem with my N900 and I am not really sure how to fix it. Here's the story:
My firmware version is PR1.3 (latest). I've had about 1.8 GB of disc space left out of the total 32 GB. I've decided to try out and install OpenArena from extras-devel. I downloaded the package through the app manager, used Wifi, it installed. I tried to run it from the menu, but it crashed. I tried two more times, but it didn't work. I checked the thread here and read people have problems running it as well, no proper reason and solution found out yet.
I also had around 5 browser windows open and the battery ran out and the phone shut down.
Here it gets bizzare... I hooked up the charger, the battery charged fully and then I turned on the phone. I wanted to add a new contact/number to My Contacts, but I got a message saying "Not enough memory" or something like that. I thought that was weird. I checked the media player and there wasn't any content showing up, eventhough I have over 200 songs and 200 videos stored on the device. I checked the browser and no saved pages were showing up, not even any bookmarks. I always got a message "not enough memory".
I shut the phone off, turned it on. I went to X-Terminal, checked the memory (df -h) and it was around 86%, not entirely full. I went to the app manager and unistalled OpenArena and two other applications. I then used manual restart via X-Terminal sudo reboot.
That didn't help much. I can now see the content in the media player, but nothing else works. No saved pages, no bookmarks, can't add new contacts. I can't even add bookmarks to the desktop.
What puzzles me is that they all ARE STILL STORED ON THE DEVICE, BUT THE OS CAN'T SEE THEM for some reason.
Is there a way how to fix this problem without reflashing? I have over 20 GB of content which I don't want to lose...
THANKS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
