As no support is provided by a manufacturer, a user should be given the same rights and privileges any other beta tester deserves.

As Nokia implemented.

Case closed.

A new buyer is lost with his/her new gizmo product crashing from time to time

You are asking the second question everywhere and get quite reasonable answers (about what tweaks could be used that might fix the problem and the general advice to reflash if nothing helps).
But much more interesting for everyone and yourself too (if you reflash the device) is the answer to the first question.

My dear friend.
Next time try to read what I write.
I wanted to avoid reflashing and did it and I did repaired crashed status file.

You don't provide any facts that can be verified except 'I installed some thirdparty applications' (without even mentioning installing which applications exactly caused the trouble)
Nokia tablet has no control over the installed applications if Application manager is crashed.

and don't help much in the investigation, but make very strange conclusions (from a developer point of view) calling the source of problem a 'virus'. That's not moving us anywhere.

Problem already solved by Nokia.
An improved Application manager installed in N810.
Read another thread.


I'm sorry to repeat again, but I already provided you with a possible answer to the first question ('What caused the damege to your system and how to avoid it in the future').
Thanks.

Just wait for a user installable package of WLAN driver, reflash your tablet and install the fix.

Not interested in reflashing.
Problem already solved.
After that if you encounter this 'virus' again, come back and report the problem.
Problem already solved.

As for recovering your broken system, you should understand that it is not always technically possible sometimes.
I already solved that problem.
Read what I write to you.


For example if somebody is shot, surely treating wounds is very important for him, but depending on the damage, the patient may unfortunately die as recovery is sometimes impossible. But a solution for the community in general is to find the criminal to avoid similar problems in the future.
Philosophy.


In the posts to maemo-developers you are asking for the ways to 'cure the damage', but now you make your own conclusions about who the 'criminal' is. Anyway, I'm not too good at drawing an analogies, sorry.
