Re: [maemo-users] Re: n800 apps?
I believe there are examples of capturing video in python and c on maemo wiki/web somewhere, no? I know in time with Nokia's support unit will have apps it needs...or rather hope. Maemo kind of competes with work done by handhelds.orgwhich is taking more traditional desktop approach/metaphor. Enough people have to buy device for people to write apps but with no initial apps to speak of not many will buy device. I'm sure many people buying unit have no idea it's kinda empty software-wise for now...not complaining...just stating facts. mike Juha Kuikka wrote: I found that load-applet (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/load-applet/) runs fine on N800.

Re: [maemo-users] Nokia N800 unbuyable
I have exactly the same problem. I have tried with two diferent credit cards (both were Mastercard), and both purchases were refused. As it seems the problem was also on some security checks my credit cards didn't pass. I called to Nokia on Friday but they told me they didn't know exactly where was the problem and to call on Monday. I will send you all I can get to know. Bye!

I installed the osso-xterm on my N800, but it has the same bug that text entry in handwriting mode is messed up, each character is inserted multiple times as you type new characters. The solution on the 770 is to install the osso-xterm (advanced), but reports are that that xterm doesn't work on the N800 yet.

Re: [maemo-users] Re: n800 apps?
I just used Andrew's most excellent 770Flasher GUI and updated my N800 to the latest - worked like a champ! The process was pretty straight forward, though it did not want to initiate until I removed my memory card. Once I did the install took about 60 seconds and then with a reboot and my card inserted I was asked immediately (after selecting region etc) to restore from backup which I did... rock on!

If you have time and the knowledge, I would recommend to try to do your fix and submit it as a patch that, without compromiising the original functionality, improves it, for example adding an option to the power menu.

Re: [maemo-users] Re: Storage/Sleep Issues..
At first this bothered me like everyone else but once I discovered that by matching the time for both display and power (mine are both set to to min) the power / d-pad combo is really quite nice. You can remain connected if you have an active connection or the unit simply shuts things down as they go idle this way. Nothing except for the combo press again will wake the screen... I definitely miss the protective cover, but now prefer this new idle connectivity.
