Has anybody tried to update maps in N9 and succeeded in it? I was trying to remove unnecessary Nordic & Baltic maps from my N9, but could not first find any way to do it. Then I noticed that map update can/will remove those maps which are not updated, which was fine by me.

However, the update does not work so well:
-Upload does not seem to be able to activate WLAN properly and does not start before I have activated WLAN manually first.
-Uploading Finnish map (~160MB) takes around 30-60mins over WLAN (yes, my WLAN & ADSL behind it are working fine ).
-After the upload is complete, map installation starts but quite soon goes to "Paused" state by itself and stays there forever. After that only canceling the update helps.

Yes I was successful to upload new maps. I deleted all the maps which was on my all from Asia and downloaded the maps for Us all, which was about 1.7GB and it all worked fine.

I have tasks, two calendars, contacts, and email synced between MacBook Air and N9. I use Google for contacts and two calendars, but it is famously hard to get Google tasks synced, so I don't use it for tasks. Instead I use a plugin for the Mac to sync my tasks (in iCal) to Todoodle and Nuevasync syncs my tasks from Todoodle to the N9. Meanwhile Nuevasync also syncs the Contacts from Google and one of the Calendars from Google - it has to sync the same calendar that has the tasks in my Macbook, otherwise I won't get the tasks from Todoodle. The other calendar is on a different Google account, and I use CalDav in the N9 to sync that. That way the two calendars are preserved as two separate calendars in the N9 (hooray! never could do that with the N900). However I do NOT use Nuevasync for email sync, even though it would be nice to have push email. The email account has a lot of folders in it and, like with the N900, it is not possible to only sync a subset of folders with Exchange in the N9. Trying to do so resulted in a 14 hour sync and it still hadn't finished, and lots of messed up stuff (the Exchange client is still quite buggy). So I just sync the email using the native N9 email client, so there's no push email, unfortunately. Nuevasync does have a solution to prevent any folders under a certain specially-named folder getting synced as a workaround, and implementing that -- if you have a lot of folders -- you could also get push email, too.

okay... after a week, I have quite a few questions.

Drive will not open for me. Just sits there. Maps works just fine though. Pertaining maps, what I've noticed though is that I cannot manage maps by removing them, I have to update a map and the unchecked ones are deleted. That's an odd way to manage them, but I was able to finally delete the ones in countries I'd never utilize. So what should I expect when I hit Drive? Why is it just sitting there on the green drive icon screen and doing nothing else?

Contacts... having to set up a MfE account, then syncing that way was just plain odd. Once I had done so, got my contacts, they're mashed up with my Skype buddies, GTalk buddies and honestly I liked how Android handled that - show only contacts that have phone numbers. There has to be a better way to handle this - I have too many contacts!

Twitter - there's no way to go from photo to Twitter? I have to e-mail it to myself, or share it on Flickr, then link to it? I've read plenty of people saying that this isn't a feature yet, but there has to be a better way.

Facebook... I just wanna uninstall it. I'll never use Facebook. Went through Application Manager, tried to uninstall it. Wasn't allowed. If I remove it otherwise, would I break something?

Google+... tell me there's a plan or app that integrates as nicely as Twitter and AP news. Also, same thing for GoogleVoice. QGVDial is "okay" but it is not what I'm looking for at all.

AccuWeather... any way to make this always know where I'm at? Also, how do I delete somewhere? It's nice to know what the temp is in Helsinki, but I'm halfway around the globe.

Twitter... how do I trigger an avi update for this app? Some of the Twitter avatars have updated, whereas Twitter hasn't. And is there a way to only show mentions and direct messages in the notifications pane?

Sketching tools... there has to be one great one like Adobe Ideas.

IM integration - am I missing this somewhere? I know I have Skype, Gtalk - which, I've been trying to get everybody on anyway - but there's a few people that still use AIM or MSN... even Yahoo.

On second thought, good riddance.

So where's Evince, FBReader, Xournal and the like?

It should, after some seconds (less than 10) open up a map in your location. Something seems to be wrong in your device. You might want to try opening it in terminal to see if there's some error output.

If you're using the Phone application, it will only show contacts that can be called. Although there too it will show also contacts that can be called via GTalk and Skype. I guess it would be nice if the phone application header was clickable like in some other apps, and you could choose to filter the listing like you wished.

Photo sharing to Twitter coming in an update.

Does Google+ even have a public API yet? In any case I'm pretty sure that will be up to 3rd party developers if it's going to come. Let's call it an opportunity for some aspiring developer .

In a newer version of AccuWeather there is in the Location dialog "Use current Location". Don't know if it updates itself automatically or if you have to manually choose it each time you change place.

Edit "/home/user/.config/AccuWeather, Inc./awxapp.conf"

Good riddance is what I'd suggest also. However, if you're feeling adventurous, you could use a Jabber/XMPP gateway to those services. There is no UI for XMPP account, but you can add XMPP account using "mc-tool" from command-line.

Got to Accounts/Add accounts/CalDAV

Enter your Google email address

Once you hit Sign In, you'll be presented with a list of your calendars.

Hope this helps.

Yes, but it's a read/only API at the moment. This would, at least, have the potential for integration with the notifications view, but not much else.

I rather suspect it will have to be a 3rd party plugin.

Hmm drive works fine for me, I do notice some funkyness with wifi connections with trying to dl voices though. maybe try changing connection then launch drive. or disable all connections and launch.

Until Twitter integration in PR 1.1 (hopefully), I'm using http://www.pixelpipe.com - not very elegant... but not much choice right now.

I've done the connections trick - wifi, AT&T, or none... no dice.

How to troubleshoot via terminal is my last choice it seems. Great.
