I seem to only need a single finger tap. I wonder how our settings differ? Maybe I should post a picture of my finger? There might be differences in bone structure or something...
On my tablet with a fresh and clean installation of OS2008 Final, the thumb keyboard does not pop out when I finger-tap a text box.
When I posted that comment the finger keyboard was popping out at every double-finger-tap (on Notes) and at many text boxes.
Now.. it does not work on almost any text boxes and sometimes on Notes. Actually if I triple-finger-tap fast the finger keyboard pops out for a fraction of a second and then disappears.

Moreover, when I use the finger keyboard in a chat with the built-in messenger, and I press the enter key, it behaves randomly: sometimes it sends the message straight to the peer, sometimes it leaves the text in the text box waiting for a tap on the green arrow (send).
In the Beta it used to also first send the text in the text box, then popped out the finger keyboad and when the enter key was pressed it was also sending the full text, like:

Hi how <finger keyboard on>
Hi how are you doing ?

Now it behaves almost similarly.
To make it short: finger keyboard is buggy.

See bug #2400, apparently it's fixed, but who knows when we'll see it in a public release. Voting may or may not help.

I was getting this a little bit last night with just the thumbboard. I was tempted to blame it on fat-fingeredness since I was tired, but maybe not. Best bet is to open a bug.

Basically the next best thing to sliced bread and a good alternative to the 770's hardcover for the N800. It behaves basically the same as locking (also has some automated options for activating/deactivating offline mode), but is much easier to activate and deactivate. You can assign it to a longpress on the powerkey (the length of which can also be shortened), or to a double-press on the powerkey.

Much more convenient than that locking garbage. It's too bad they've broken it and wont fix it in a timely manner because it's not a supported feature.

anyone having an issue with the headphone jack not working? When my headphone is plugged in, all sounds (system, audio, video) still plays through the external speakers... Otherwise, OS2008 is awesome! Skype and Mplayer works already. Browser lags a bit compared to Opera, but it's not bad.

Nevermind, taking the battery out and rebooting solved the issue.
Thanks,

Set "Connect automatically" to "Always ask" or "Phone connection"

Hi there,

got some problem too with the new OS version on my n810: everything went smoothly until it came to restore the applications. The Tablet makes several downloads just fine, then gets stuck in one (544kb) and can't go any further.

Anyone had the problem and solved it? Or maybe I shoud just re-install everything manually....

Thanks,
Antonio

Dblank: Thanks. That makes sense, though it had initially been a bit confusing for me -- who asks whom? Is it the N800 that's always asking me, or am I the one who must always ask? I trust the latter is the right answer. Thanks again.

As has been stated before several times in this and other threads on the subject, the Nokia repositories are absolutely slammed, so it's unlikely that you'll be able to refresh them, let alond download application from them.

Give it a day or two and try again when things have calmed down.

The N800 will ask you, whenever an application requests a connection.

Thanks!
Well, I threw in the towel and just restored my settings from a previous backup --- which then caused the connection to work. The only difference I found was that the proxy is now 216.155.165.50 instead of 216.155.165.050 --- the funny thing is that the latter address is what the autoconfigure process used. So, who knows... I may eventually reflash to start from scratch and see if this was what caused the issue, but for now, I know it works.
