Hi,

On my Nokia N900,if i go to Application Manager and click on Update or Download, i get a message "Checking for updates,please wait" and then nothing happens.

The Application catalogs on my phone are Nokia Applications,Nokia System Software Updates,Ovi,maemo.org,Maemo Extras.

On the phone i connect to the Internet using the Wifi on my laptop and im able to browse websites. But im facing the above problem with the Application manager.

The firmware version on my phone is 3.2010.02-8. Any way to fix the problem ?

Please help.
Thank You

Disable Maemo Extras.

It's the same thing as the maemo.org repository.

Let me know if that solves the problem or not.

Distribution: Freemantle
Is that correct? If so, then it should be Fremantle, not Freemantle.

The only difference I have is for Nokia SSU, the last 3 characters are 002.

But that's only because I'm in a different region (North America)

The only other thing I can think of is -devel apps or other apps.

Have you installed anything from maemo.org extras-devel or done any terminal work?

Basically, have you done anything that could have been deemed systematically risky?

Thanks xomm, the problem is solved. There was an issue with name resolution on the phone, because i was using the wifi on my laptop. So, i added the google dns servers to resolv.conf on the phone and now everything works ! .

sorry because i have a problem with name resolution too, you have changed the file resolv.conf or the settings in the Connexions → advanced → IP address ?
