anyone experience a LOT of opera crashes? Opera never crashed for me on 2.0 but the latest update made it unusable! The maemo.org application catalogue crashes the device so it has to reboot... Is it safe to reflash it with an older firmware?

Before Opera crashed every now and then when opening or closing window. Now it crashes a lot more. I couldn't even get Opera to save changed image setting untill I figured out that I have to restart Opera, not exit with crash!

I backup my repository list by opening up an xterm, gaining root and copying everything in /etc/apt/ to a directory on the mmc card and then copying the sources.list file back after reimaging the device.

To copy it back after reimaging, you will need to reinstall becomeroot (or become root via some other means) and then install an xterm. I keep the .debs for most of the common programs I use in a directory on my mmc card, but it is nice to have the repositories in place for updates.

Thanks Rocketman, that is a huge PITA reloading all that stuff. Maybe Nokia will figure out a way around that. Thanks, Etaoin, for the link to the directions. At any rate everything's back in and it does appear to be quicker across the board. Opera especially feels snappier and I don't appear to have any problems with links not working. Sadly the email client still only supports one account. Or should I say it supports multiple accounts, it still mixes everything together in the inbox. I should say I use the 770 primarily as an organizer with the PIM apps, Sdict, Xjournal, Gnumeric, a status bar applet and I have almost all the games for my son. I have Grsync as well but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to do what I want.

I mostly visit the same sites on my 770 and they never crashed the browser, but now a lot of them crash the device completely, it just reboots... It's a bit absurd that maemo.org's application overview crashes the brower+OS completely don't you think?

Anyone tried to reflash to an older firmware? I don't want to have a paper weight untill Nokia decides to release another update....

I noticed a lot of people are having issues with the browser crashing a lot more in the updated binary. I must be one of the lucky few that missed that problem as I haven't had the browser crash yet (knocks on wood).

As for flashing back to previous binaries, it shouldn't be a problem. I've done it before. I don't see why it wouldn't work from this version as well.

I guess it's worth upgrading if you need better Bluetooth support, slightly faster web browsing, or just have to have the latest version of software for the 770. Other than those improvements, I've seen no significant reason to upgrade to this version.

For those of you (N770 and schmolch, I guess, plus others) who are experiencing links blocked in Opera, there's no need to restart it, just press the back button to return to previous page, then stop the loading, press forward button.

Links will be working again

not so good as a trick, but better than restarting opera.

Anyway, a sort of step back, unfortunately. No one of the wanted / needed improvements (flash, opera, email app, etc.) plus some more instability (guess what: the release notes were talking of improved stability!)... Not worth the reflash and the work that you'll need to reinstall all the stuff

I see no reason to upgrade when I am completely stable right now. Especially with all the problems people seem to be complaining about. I love my Nokia 770, but I am sick of being a BETA tester because they refuse to QA this stuff. It's not just the 770 though, I also have a Nokia 6682, while the phone is great, it reboots occaisonally and sometimes its when it rings. Call me cooky, but thats a serious bug, and there is no update, I have the latest software version and they will not be updating it. So I am stuck with a $300 phone that reboots sometimes when people call it.
