Probability is on your side. People tend to express problems, but not satisfaction...

Seems my osso-software-version had been deleted. How, I know not. I certainly didn't do it directly. Anyway, for my n800 I did "apt-get install osso-software-version-rx34" and the OS2008 Feature Upgrade 36-5 finally showed up in app manager.

Use "apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44" for the n810.

Now here's hoping I don't get the reboot loop...

UPDATE: Everything installed OK, and I now have pre-ssu diablo on flash, and 4.2008.36-5 on SD (with "About product" showing proper versions in each case).

Thanks, what's wrong with my setup though?

It worked like a charm for me. Faster browser (seems to scroll a lot better). I also didn't notice it before, but there's an ability to set a cache max value in the settings. I'm sure it's been there for awhile, I just never realized it.

Me satisfied.

Even found one very annoying bug fixed.

I want Nokia to release updates more frequently, so: It felt great! Do it again!

This is beyond my abilities to answer. I assume it's not as simple as noting that the osso version you're trying to install is for n810 not n800??

Not sure I see what others, including Texrat have reported - my GMail still loads the AJAX site in about 30 seconds - no different than before.

Wow, I just ran a quick test load of Gmail. With the browser already open to another site, it takes my n810 exactly 5 seconds to load and fully display my Gmail inbox. This is quite a bit faster than pre-update, but I am not sure exactly how much, as I never run that test before.

For a community rep you can sometimes be quite... uncompromising with your approach to suggestions.

In the following part of my message (which you omitted) I pondered whether such a "community poll" (with followup query) could help pinpoint system setups that are more prone to "SSU" failure than others.

But hey, I got the message that the idea wasn't interesting to you. There's of course the danger that some silly person might indeed take the result of such a poll as being representative of the whole tablet userbase and who knows what undesirable shenanigans might follow from that!

It certainly wouldn't be interesting to the self-selecting sample which frequents ITT (and possibly tends to install more 3rd party apps than the average Joe) as a quick reference of what to pay attention to wrt. potential breakage.

Anyway, thanks for the Maemo Community Chair opinion.

(Is that as in a Nokia-paid rep to the community, or community's rep to Maemo/Nokia?)

It's a n 810. Anyone know why I can't upgrade? Nothing showed up in app manager, but I ran a apt-get upgrade and everything seemed to install, except nothing was flashed and it's still showing as 2008.30-2 even though I believe I the new browser and everything else installed. Anyone want to take a stab at my problem?

I have used the user agent switch app, and it works ok. It's just disappointing that it needs to be used in the first place.

Otherwise, the update has worked great for me, very appreciative of the work being done.

I got the reboot loop , had to reflash my tablet for the first time since Diablo.

Looks good, lost all the programs, but I think that I'll take this opportunity to clean up my repositories list :-)
