Hi,

After upgrading to the new version of OS2008 (new version: 4.2008.36-5), maemomapper did not work anymore.

When I put an address on "go to address", after some time a message appears: "Failed to connect to GPX directions server".

Does anyone know why this happened and what the solution to solve this problem?

Thanks,

i'm still at the office and will do this update when i'm home. - meanwhile: i remember last time there where issues with SSU when people didn't have enough space on the device so the files needed for the update couldn't be processed and the whole thing stalled.

is this still possible or did they include a check this time? if they didn't, does anyone know how much space is recommended for a sfe upgrade?

There is already a "dirty way" to make the new initfs works with the update but tonight fanoush will relase the updated package of the initfs flasher, useful to get the bootmenu.

So, if you want to use your tablet from the card, wait till tonigh.

Thanks a lot for letting know about this update. the update is not automatically notified by NIT, I had to launch the application manager and manually refresh it then only it identified the update. No issues with update, finished smoothly.
First thing I did was to check the performance of browser.

Videos:
CNN: still bad, no improvement. Choppy voice and image
Youtube: Excellent voice and image
BBC: Poor streaming but voice is a bit better than CNN
Veoh: Didn't load the image, says I need to upgrade the flash which is not possible with NIT world so easily
Google videos: Good voice and image streaming.

Page loading speed: Appears to have improved on certain (CNN) but no change on others (BBC, google)

I see quite a bit of improvement on YT and Google Videos and none or not significant in other cases.

No issue with Memo mapper
All my podcast streams have disappeared from gPodder!
All my contacts, browser bookmarks are intact.
Booting is a bit faster after second and third booting
Browser loaded slow after first booting and was OK afterwords.
I thought application loading was a bit faster now than previous. Not sure if I am right, please let me know what is your experience.
No visual improvements at all

Ok, it is time to get back to secular work

Tablet will notify about the update, but it checks for updates once a day, so it doesn't notify instantly.

A Seamless Software Upgrade (SSU) notification should prompt you of a v4.2008.36-5 firmware update once you go online with your Maemo 4.1 (Diablo) device. The update aims to improve email, web browsing, and connectivity. Early reports from itT members are mixed. Some have updated with no problems and have reported faster browsing, while others are experiencing locks, boot menu problems, looping reboots, and package conflicts which seem to get fixed after a manual reflash. If you have installed anything out of the ordinary, be sure to read through the thread before updating.
Read the full article.

It was probably the patch that fixed the version string (the last update changed the reported version which resulted in websites thinking the flash we had was outdated). I dunno how to uninstall it (though I do remember where we got it from).

Anyway, what's the command to backup my bootmenu (I configured it already with details like return to : #) so I prefer not having to reconfigure it.

I really wonder if NIT can ever improve its video performance, it sucks when I compare it with Ipod. I just dont get it how NIT is made without keeping video performance in view, the last two updates didnt made much progress on this front and I wonder if it is conforming that the issue with the hardware!!!
