And if anyone got a solution, be kind and share it.

EDIT: a friend of mine has now the same issue, we both live in Sweden.. (maybe it matters, maybe not)

Go to X-Term and do before test

killall gst-video-thumbnailerd
kill `ps | grep mafw-gst-renderer | grep -v grep | cut -f2 -d' '`

(space between two quotes).

The sluggish video may be because of bugs 8165 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8165) or 7147 (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7147)

If helps - vote for it for faster resolution.

loaded and installed update fine here ^^

the tablet mode button is from "cellular modem control Buttons app"
i think, shown here before update i think with that app.

Btw media player works here even after manually restart. (germany)

I checked by manually shutting down and starting. Music and video play fine. It's like using a hammer to solve a simple problem but a clean flash might help?

Hi everybody, first time posting here but I was just wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. I installed firmware 3.2010.02-8 and everything works fine but I can not use my internet keep taking me to a page web2go saying I need to update my data plan. (T-mobile USA) so I flash it back to the firmware before and the internet works again. Then I try to flash 3.2010.02-8 again n internet dont work tried the global version of the firmware and the internet still dont work. Anybody have any Idea how I can go around that? Thanks in advance.

How you see this message? Can you describe an exact sequence?

EDIT: Go to "Settings/Internet connections/T-Mobile", pass-and-record-on paper all settings in old FW version and copy it in new FW version.

when I try to open the default web browser n try to open google it takes me to a page stating that I have to update my data plan. And I cant go to any other web sites or use anything that have to do with internet like the app updater.
