My battery level was worse yesterday than i have ever had it before, by the end of the day i hardly had any charge left on the device (no difference in widgets installed, probably less internet browsing than normal)

The device became quite warm to the touch only when i was downloading apps from the application manager.

Odd, im getting quite the opposite after my flash and vanilla'd emmc, massive battery life, great performance and handling pressure very well.

Ok, just to share my thoughts on this update: I did an update this morning (original firmware was the 2010.02-8 firmware). After making sure my rootfs was clean enough - and verifying it still (re-)booted correctly - I started the update.
The update itself seemed to go OK. Upon reflash:
* all fonts where replaced by [] (blocks)
* theming was totally gone (I saw a basic gray window with [] where the pincode window would be) but the button layout was largely the same
* upon loading X, in the left top corner a purple status bar was displayed, with no text/icons
* after a minute or so, the device rebooted itself

I also tried some other things, by e.g. using the camera button within that 'working minute'. This worked: the camera window appeared.
At one time even the browser appeared, but with a blank screen. In both cases it still rebooted. It thus seemed a GUI-restricted issue.

I reflashed the device using flasher3.5 (to the latest 1.2 update/Global ed.) and it worked.

Now I will have to restore all my settings; this is not for repetition and thus this will probably be my last update for the N900 (unless I reserve 2 weeks of my spare time to do the update).

(luckily I make a full / and /home backup each night, so with a lot of tweaking I prolly can get back a lot of my settings - let this be a warning however).

sander: Did you use the default theme before updating? Sounds a bit like issues with a custom font used by a custom theme.

I updated OTA here in Penang about 24 hours ago.

Got the usual 'Use a PC' message.
I used apt-get upgrade to figure out what's the problem. It was a couple of packages. gstreamer-plugins-extras-bad, fmtx-enabler & libgles1. I had to remove Extra Codec Support, FM Radio, Tuxrace, gltron & Brainparty to make it work.

Had 60MB free on root & the update took almost 20 minutes. But I was relieved when it completed without incident. Didn't loose any data, just some settings reset. I was surprised that even my custom boot video was still there.

I didn't notice any different is performance or stability, but love the new features.

Hi,

I used either the alpha or beta, didn't use any other theme. In any case: the fact that it didn't show a correct font wasn't the worrying part, the fact that it rebooted was

I guess I could build a rootfs from what I have backed up, reflash and try again to see what was wrong (but this time with some preparation), but I hope that I am the only one with this problem

NSU still doesnt work and it still tells me to use NSU.
So I did the same as ontge.
Dunno what all happened then tough..At least it ended with 3 warnings wich had something to do with python2.5, python-support and py(-something else-).
What to do now??
I didnt delete the files yet cuz I dont wanna miss python when it doesnt work after all(know I can get it back with apt-get, right?)

Ok so this is the solution that I came up with for using OTA and MSU in combination. It's strange and the issue isn't with everyone but give it a go.

Solution to updating to PR1.2

allright guys another problem.
Why doesnt the backup app on Nokia PC Suite???
When I open it up it always says that there is no phone connected and that I need to connect it.
Very strange because NSU does detect it.
Communication centre doesnt work either

It is strange but why don't you just create the backup on your phone?
