Copy the following into your x-terminal ... then see what the N900 can do for you in bed in the morning...

Code:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:PatternIncomingCall
...What? Just trying to be helpful.



The above command is (mostly) harmless. Oh, and to make the phone stop doing that, make a call and then hang up immediately

I think i got to emotional, but it was really anoying me as well.

Many thanks for all of you who work so hard to make this phone better dispite of all the compleins!
A little confusion there, I think. What forum are you suggesting for the complaints to go to? If the issues are being raised again and again, I have to question the efficacy of addressing those concerns. Particularly if addressing those concerns has a label that reads 'FIXED IN [whatever the next OS will be]' soon after a product is released, and then allowed to stagnate long enough that it never has to be addressed since the product is no longer new anymore. It can feel like THAT forum is being ignored as well.

In the case of the N900, I would promote some patience for fixes in such a new product too, though. It JUST came out. It would probably be advantageous for Nokia if it made it specifically known that certain fixes were on the way. Maybe.

I don't know--I just don't see the same kind of aggressive anticipation for fixes in the Debian/Ubuntu/Red Hat world that you see in the Maemo realm, since those patches and releases occur more regularly and reliably.

Do you think more people would be happier if Maemo went the way of releasing fix/security patches often and feature releases every 6 months?

I don't mind the complaining or whining as long as it is done in a spirit of community (i.e. what can be done to resolve this) and is not a complaint about a feature everyone knew was missing or not fully mature. To be honest, if you dropped 600 dollars on a device and didn't bother to find out that it doesn't support portrait mode then that's really on your shoulders...

What I love about this forum is when a thread really works towards solving an issue that CAN be solved. Look at the thread going on at the moment about trying to get bluetooth keyboards working with the N900. Rather than a endless whine about why it wasn't implemented, the guys on that thread are sharing information, finding fixes and trying to work towards ta solution...which I'm sure they will.

This is what I find fascinating about this device and this forum. Rather than having to wait and hope that a manufacturer will release a firmware and address these issues (and more often than not they don't address the issues that are important to YOU), here you can see individuals working together in real time to come up with solutions and fixes.

...although nobody there would tell me exactly what the problem is with HID keyboard support and whether it effects everything or only SOME keyboards. :P

See, I can't even remotely call THAT whining. And that's what I'm having trouble with apparently: the definition of that word.

My usage of the word has always applied to something like "wahhh, why I can't have this! why didn't you do that? I want one! Now I don't want one. Pick me up! Put me down! Wahhhhh...."

So the Op has been here for a month, and is an expert on who will be here in the future? He appears to be a sexist arse?

I have been "whining" about maemo for 4 years, and I do not anticipate that ending anytime soon.
