yesterday is succeeded to brick my device by installing some more thingy from the extras-dev.(installed a ton of apps already and never had issues so far, but i was warned expected this sooner or later)
But this time it was to much, and it just kept rebooting over and over again.

anyways, a reflash solved all issues and brought it back to live.
(insiders joke: wanna laugh?
the "u" key when connecting the USB is the one on the phone NOT on the PC keyboard omfg!)

After that i could put back the backups and install about 400mb of apps.
Rebooted and all worked like a charm so i called it a day and went to bed.

Today I was glad to find the new maemo update and installed it.
No issues and all looked ok. Just before i ran out the door i re-stalled battery-eye which was not yet in my last backup archive.

About an hour later, i noticed a terrible drop in battery power.
Had not fired up battery-eye yet, so i did to take a peek.
But it did not seem to start. (found out it sorta did, but took a very looong time now)

after work i played around and found battery-eye not useable working, and my cpu was taking a 100% most of the time. took ages to start, and the tabs did not seem to respond either. whole device became slow.
Uninstalled battery-eye, all back and fine again!

now, i really like this tool, so how can i get it back to working?

even though i bricked yesterday, problems clearly arised after new fw update icm battery-eye.

Do i need to wait for the maker to update?
I read other people having no probs with it after the update..

Just confirmed Google Video calls work with Mac, I didnt initiate the call though, but it didnt work before the update and the picture quality is much much better. Improved video calling...yeah Id say that it is a significant update...does anyone need cheese to go with their wine? ;-)

Specifically do you have the "203" variant, or a generic fw?

Does anyone know the difference between the UK firmware and the global generic? Keyboard mapping? anything?

mine says 2.2009.51-1.205.1

@Pennywise - the batteryeye and wifieye developer is active and will probably get onto these issues quickly

I know you are right.

I will try anything, but if i see that the update is 16.2MB and my free space is 41MB, i think that there is no space problem... maybe something else...

A message that say how many space i really need, could be a good idea.

Regards.

i completely agree - but remember the downloads are probably compressed

(It also depends what you have on your system, and how much needs to be extracted/downloaded/installed.....) can differ between people
