Just upgraded as well and I only have one gripe so far. My WLAN's SSID is set to hide, I uncovered it so the N800 can see my router, saved it on the N800 and verified that I was able to surf out, hid the SSID, and the router saved the changes and it rebooted, I tried to connect again and it does not show up on the connection list. Anyone else having problems? I was able to hide the SSID and connect before.

NM, I went to Connections/edit/clicked Network is hidden and it found it.

Has anybody successfully tethered their Diablo N8xx via PAN to their smartphone?
This aspect seems to be borked, but perhaps I should try a fresh non-backup install....

I'm going to add another Rhapsody question. Even going through the suggestions in this thread it still does not seem possible to install Rhapsody. Has anyone been able to do it successfully? If so can you post a description of what steps need to be taken to do so?

Thanks!

this is what I get for not logging on for one day, 25 pages of diablo news...

I'm thrilled this release is finally out, and even more proud that I actually read every comment before asking any dumb questions. Sounds like a few good things and a few problems are going on. It also sounds like a restore after reflash may cause headaches with some apps. Modest still crashing, but at least it's default mail (for those of us who didn't like claws). Perhaps we can get a sticky going that lists apps as people install them on diablot and a link to the thread that explains how to fix it if there are tricks to installing them?

Overall, I like what I am reading and I will backup everything before I try this out.

I'm having a real nightmare installing Rhapsody.....

Am being told I have applications missing:

Application packages missing:
flash-and-reboot (=3)
initfs-flasher (=0.9516-200823maemo2)
kernel-diablo-flasher (=2.6.21-200823maemo3)
osso-ic (>1.0.0)
I followed Matyas's really helpful advice.

you should install becomeroot package (from this repository (Eko One))

1) open the terminal

2) login as root, then use these commands

3.1) apt-get update

3.2) apt-get -f install
you are suppose to respond yes to every question apt-get poses you.


Now you should able to install Rhapsody

Enjoy
But now still get:

Application packages missing:
osso-ic (>1.0.0)
Thinking its the backup causing the problems I reflash and try to install rhapsody on a fresh system but exactly the same problem as before.

Has anyone else been able to install Rhapsody?

About how long does it take to get a fix on my approx location over a WiFi connection (I've waited 5 mins and nothing happens).

Am I missing something obvious?

Cheers
It worked for me this way:

1) I've installed agps-ui (that was my very first package I've installed in Diablo )
2) I've ran it and clicked somewhere soouth of Italy.
3) I did set it up to connect via my mobile connection (the only one that was available in the drop down menu, probably I didn't set up any WiFi at that time)
4) Checked out the "allow packetdata" option
5) I've ran the Map application

that's it.
Second time, agps-ui was not running:

1) I've executed the Map application and it connected automatically thru my cellphone connection.

What I've noticed during this second try was:

the Map application found 1 satellite with some weak signal..after the tablet was connected to the Internet via the cellphone (something like 1 second) it suddenly initialized the list of visible satellites, showing something like 5 or 6 of them with no signal.
After 1 or 2 more seconds a few of them showed some signal and a few seconds more it got a fix.

Thus, my undestanding is that you tell it (via the agps beta program) where you are and based on this information it'll retrieve the list of visible satellites in your area.
Thus it only need to look for them and compute the fix.

Probably there's a lot more in it, because otherwise:

a) it would have been smart to store in the tablet those satellites and feed them everytime the GPS is going to be used.
b) probably Nokia would have stored a small database of those satellites on a per city/per country base on the tablet. Thus you wouldn't need to connect to the Internet to retrieve them.
c) The AGPS support would have been already included in almost every GPS device out there by now.

Something else is going on, but I have no knowledge about GPS stuff.

AGPS utilises the mobile phone transmitters to help triangulate your position.

I used to have a Motorola A830 phone with '3' and this was very useful prior to GPS becoming affordable with the built in maps application. It could help tell me the closest whatever-I-was-searching-for.

I cannot make this AGPS app on the N810 do anything though. I changed the settings to link to '3' but still nothing.

all good for me install-wise.

just used backup restore for bookmarks/contacts/apps and all is good.

only thing that doesn't seem to work is that microb-pageupdown deb that made the change to the browser to scroll with d-pad rather than it jumping down links on the page. Anyone else get any luck with that, or is there a newer version or something?

otherwise, browsing does seem snappier, flash a bit smoother -though not perfect - email client seems fine and touchscreen seems much more responsive around the edges, especially getting to the little x window-closer top right hand conrner. Very handy!

Thanks anidel, got it working now. Turns out the connection to my Win mobile phone (Samsung sgh-i600) wasn't working. Re-paired with my Nokia N95 and Hey Presto! AGPS app put the spot on the UK (where I am).

However, AGPS Wifi connection does nothing as far as I can see. And I have to disconnect Wifi and reconnect to phone manually to get AGPS to work (i.e. Neither AGPS nor Maps try to initiate a connection automatically to the phone to get an AGPS position).
