I agree with qole on that point, I thought at first it was a troll post too. Legit help comes easier when people know what your intent is

yesterday before i went to sleep i thought let me try ckfs.vfat -wa and what did i see. My flash 32 gb doesnt pass the block test. it stops at 16386 and wont continue. This looks to me a very good proof to nokia that the phone does have troubles...
it came too with the bootsector differs from the one in the backup.
and after all i got an input output error when i have troubles. after reboot the flash 32 gb is online again. but still didnt pass byond block 16386.

lol go for Android if you think N900 is the worst phone you've ever had. Android is also OpenSource too.
By far you're the only person who had this problem. So I don't know how to help. But reflashing firmware might solve some problems.
If you think he's a troll don't feed him. If you want to help read the thread.

Worse still Nokia have provided the worst after sales support he could ever have had too. Thankfully he has persevered and hopefully he's now got the evidence to kick Nokia up the a** and get that fixed. Many lesser souls would have abandoned it and understandably been left with the incorrect impression that the N900 was a pile of sh*t.
i also agree with this. dont need ppl with that kind of attitude putting down the n900

I had a similar experience when i had my n95 when i dropped it off 5 times to a Nokia center till i spoke to the manager and proved to him in simple terms how there is in fact a problem. we had a lot of arguments and boy they had red faces. I understand how you can have bad feelings towards nokia/n900 as i did with my n95, but when i had to get rid of my n95 i will never forget the experience i had with it. loved the good and bad
just tell them this. keep it simple as the guys at Nokia Centers dont think outside the box usually. cooks not chefs
1: Ask to speak to the manager
2:show him what you just said with the ckfs.vfat -wa scan
3:show him Conky as evidence there is infact space on the internal drive and rootfs, and show him the memory through settings panel.
4: show him you have re-flashed the device, to prove it show that your n900 was impossible shipped with V3 firmware since it wasn't out yet and its a month old lol.
5:Then try to install an applications and when it fails how can he deny there is a problem???
6: call Nokia support, nokia the center and tell them what happened with the screwing around at the Nokia centre and im 100% they will give you 3 months extra warranty (Trick for everyone, they give it out with any complain
keep that on the down low)good luck. I did a simliar then and it worked flawlessly.

I did this. and right after a full reflash. so both partitions. the NAND and the flash partition i got the message device full. please clear up and try again. on a virgin clean device..... so no software even added on this point
As a backup, take a printout of this thread with you. Explain that the community here knows a huge amount about the N900, and that Nokia developers of the *firmware* and *applications* are frequent contributors. And that if this community says the phone is broken, it is -- and the reason this thread was this long is that the community hates to give up until such is proven.
