What about A2DP for normal stereo sound output by any application?
I thought of buying an A2DP receiver to leave in my car and connect to 
the car stereo, so to lessen the wear & tear on the headphone socket and 
to avoid an extra cable in sight.
I know that there's an hack to do that with the current (OS2007) 
version, but I read it sucks too much cpu and it only works with some 
applications.

Yep - I picked up a spare AC-4U (Nokia model number) online to have a 
charger to leave plugged in and one to bring with.  Same as what it came 
with, and the online listing said it was compatible with about a billion 
devices :D

Re: charger for the n800

[Mike Klein]

My results are different. My BoxWave cable for my 8525 actually is
usable with my Motorola S9/820 bt headphones and my Holux "lipstick" gps.

I bought 2 usb battery packs...APC and JavoEdge. The APC is ONLY
chargeable via regular usb cable whereas the JavoEdge battery (same ah I
think) recharges with either sync/charge cable or just charge cable.

The JavoEdge also has an "eyelet" at top so you could (hang on...I know
this is uber-geeky) attach it to lanyard around your neck and use your
phone/camera/etc. while recharging.

I like this versatility a lotand my wife really likes the new setup
(passing wife test is always a good thing) as there is less crap
everywhere and it actually looks kinda sorta elegant.

My phone has like 4 radios on it (gps, ir, wifi, cellular, bt) and
sometimes you never can be sure if your battery is going to last. It's
good to know that with a minimal amount of stuff I can never again have
to worry about running out of juice at critical moments (miss the camera
shot, etc.).


cheers,

mike

Re: charger for the n800

My Boxwave has been flaky... I've had much better access with the
Proporta Mobile Power pack which can charge all my gear and do it
while connected to my laptop (being charged itself) or on the go from
my gadget / laptop bag and in the car.

Re: charger for the n800

[Mike Klein]

I would strongly suggest a "usb" recharging solution using cable from
BoxWave or JavoEdge. BoxWave's cable provides sync/charge (charge is
'cracked' out dc plug from usb power pins) and JavoEdge is charge only.
Using this I can get "charged 100%" on N800.

They work excellent via ac/wall xformer or usb hub. I have all my crap
recharging via retractible cables (pdas, 720p camera, mp3 players) and
it's quite the kewl solution.

I hate having to lug chargers around and now just carry my "master" Tumi
universal power supply and a small handful of charge cables...plus one
regular usb->mini for when I am charging/sync'g off of computer.

Re: charger for the n800

[Jonathan Greene]

I can't even tell you what charger I am using with which device.  I
have quite a few N-Series phones and several tablets as well as the
Nokia GPS. They all use the same plugs and work just fine.  I would
not suggest getting a no-name brand... I've had trouble there with the
unit not charging.

The new update to the OS and Browser with Flash 9 make this
considerably better.  Flash is smooth on YouTube and you can do MP4
now as well.

You'll be able to pair and use a headset for VOIP ... works great!
Sure it uses a bit of battery, but you can choose to use it when you
need it rather than leaving it on all the time.

Google Docs is a default bookmark on the new unit (and I presume in
the firmware in general).  The site works remarkably well this time
around and is something I've been really using much more on my desktop
since I can easily access things as they are from the tablet.

Finding the N810 boots even more quickly -- though to be honest I

Does this mean any Nokia charger with the thin plug will do?

Can you buy N800 US chargers separately? This would avoid me having to 
bring a plug-adaptor to the US (UK-style 3-square-pin mains plugs, which 
are heavy and bulky, have a habit of dragging plug-adaptors out of US 
wall sockets).

My n800 has almost replaced my laptop.  I use the n800 about 70% of the
time I'd otherwise have used my laptop.

*  I carry it almost everywhere
since I can almost always find an open wifi signal in a few minutes if I
want to hook up.  

* It's good, not great at youtube like stuff,  It doesn't do quicktime
movies, so far.

*No blue tooth earphones -- but then that would cut

besides the n800 ear phones are also the fm radio antenna.  

*No office suite,  so far.  

*It worked great in Europe phoning home (USA) at 1.2 cents a minute
using 
gismo project.  

 It boots up quickly, or you can suspend key and screen for immediate
access with long battery life.  

*The desktop is easy to organize to read emails and rss's.  This alone
saves me perhaps 30 minutes a day, before I get out of bed. 

*Games are mediocre, but enough to fill gaps.  

I'll probably bite on the n810with the key board in a few months after
the price moderates and pass the n800 on to my daughter or wife.

I checked my version and it wasn't that one so I installed LCARS Brigde 
and the sounds. It's impressive and I'd love to keep it...BUT: it screws 
up GPE Calendar because each appointment is displayed in white on pale 
yellow which is illegible, and I haven't found any way to reconfigure 
the colours (if anyone has this info for GPE or LCARS please let me 
know). The only buglet in the Home interface was that there was no image 
showing for the web icon (top LH corner).

So I went back to Adria. There does still seem to be some instability in 
the diversion and replacement of icons, as the second icon down on the 
LH side was missing. Reinstalled, and now the tray at the top showed new 
(LCARS) icons which weren't there before. Gave up on finding any info on 
how to fix GPE Calendar colours, so I went to use Balaton and 
uninstalled the packages entirely. The tray icons still show LCARS (not 
a problem) and the sounds are still there :-) but the second icon down

I've only had the N800 a week, so I'd rather not reflash and lose 
everything yet. The current settings are workable, and if I can find a 
way to fix the GPE colours when LCARS is active, I'd go back to LCARS 
permanently.

 From memory, I tired it, but the result was that it then doesn't prompt 
for any password, and a password is essential in this configuration. I 
was under the impression (obviously wrong) that "Require client auth" 
meant "use a password". I'll be on campus tomorrow so I'll try.

Possible, but I'd need to get the network guys to dig into the Radius

No problem (what's the address of the maemo bugzilla?)

Yep. That's a nice feature. Now if forums would not waste a lot of my time 
by making me visit the site, wait for it to be rendered, click on a 
message and wait for the thread to be displayed, etc etc I might use them. 
Even with the fast connections available these days visiting a single

prefer 'wasting' it on a good book...

Jon -

I've written a fair bit about the tablet here -

and here -

http://www.maemoapps.com

While not as geeky as you ... Mac guy on the desktop.  The tablet will
easily fill your need for the mobile internet / media player - watch
though watch how you encode stuff (particularly video).  You might
find you want a nice bluetooth capable phone so you don't have to rely
on wifi ... I get a really nice HSDPA signal when I head into NYC from
my house and it's super quick on the tablet.  Like walking wifi!  EDGE
works fine too for basic browsing, email and feed reading, but
streaming needs more juice...

Thanks for the feedback Steve!

I don't plan on using as a total laptop replacement, so that was a bit of a
misnomer I guess.  I plan on really using it to surf the web, watch video
and do some more advanced stuff from a slim device.  I run linux @ home so
having a device like that is what I want to roll with.

I traveled this year and a friend had a cellphone that could do internet,
that was cool.  I realized I wanted to surf the web from a small device but
I dont want the phone.  Ive had laptops in the past but they are just a bit
too big to stuff in a hiking/travel bag :)

The normal USB setup is for mounting the N800's SD cards as drives on a 
PC. There's been some discussion on this list of running the N800 in 
host mode, but that would require some cable magic and I'm unclear about 
the success rate.

If anyone has been able to plug the N800 into a digital camera I'd love 
to hear about it. Any experience with something like this?

I've used, though.

Not so far. The battery is a standard removable/replaceable Nokia BP-5L, 
which runs $30 to $50 at online retailers.

Not bad overall. It's more stylus-friendly than finger-friendly overall, 
especially when using some of the contrib applications (i.e. Claws 
mail). I think the upcoming revision of the UI (created for the 810) is 
a significant visual improvement and look forward to the upgrade.

In general, I use mine pretty much as a toy, for checking mail and 
looking up stuff on Google/Wikipedia while wandering around, and for Skype.

Being able to call home practically free from Europe while not having to 
drag out the laptop was very nice.

When I can't find an open wifi point, the N800 easily connects through 
my Nokia cellphone to T-Mobile's EDGE/GPRS network. Setting that up took 
about 90 seconds and all the T-Mobile magic was preconfigured for me.  
Most network providers are included. VERY well done!

Overall, though, if I had no laptop I'd make that my first priority, 
especially with Wal-Mart selling a basic Acer for about the same price 
as I paid for my N800. The very small form factor of the N800 has 
advantages, but I find it much too small for any extended work. YMMV.

n800 user reviews

[Jon Dodson]

ive checked the specs and pricing on the n800 and i was wondering if anyone
had some honest feedback after using it for a few months++.  The review
sites rate it based on a few days of use(if that) and thats not a really
good review of how good or bad it is.

i am a power user who plans on installing apt, bash, ssh(client) and
mplayer, etc to get stuff to work like it were a small(form factor)
laptop.   with that specifically:

can i plug in usb stuff to it?  i can get usb converters i dont care about
that.

do bluetooth headsets work with it?  as in you got something to work?  if so
what kind?

battery is advertised to be about 3 hours for wifi and 5 for video, does
that seem to mesh with your experience?

does the battery life degrade over time badly?

did you find yourself needing more than the two flash card slots?  do you
use more than 4 gigs of storage(2 gig sd seems cheap now).

how is the UI overall?  i can console but i do enjoy ease of use(i find
gnome easy to use).

appreciate the feedback(if any).

I just got a reply from them : they say they debugged PSM intensively
when they started proposing SIP mobile phones, so it should be working.
And of course, they are asking if they can get a n800 to debug :)
(they are geeks, like all of us :p )

I'll see if I can try to work as the test guy between you and them ;)

In fact, after you install the app, you could move it to the
memory card and make link to it from the vanilla device. That
way, memory stays low.

Ummm, maybe not.

My fstab has this entry:

/dev/mmcblk0p1  /media/mmc1 vfat rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=2 0 0

But no entry for mmc2. OTOH, my /proc/mounts (which should show the actual
mounted "disks") has:

/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2 vfat 
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=2,fmask=0022,dmask=,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8
 0 0

/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1 vfat 
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=2,fmask=0022,dmask=,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8
 0 0

Note that the device names are switched compared to fstab. For devices
that are automounted via udev (which is what I assume is happening with
the memory cards), I'm not sure that fstab has any influence. I'd guess
that the way to control this involves one of the udev config files, but
poking around in /etc/udev didn't lead to any obvious candidates.

Steve, not a udev expert.

"It" being what in this context?
The application manager? I wouldn't suggest that.
The LCARS theme? Hard to do if his application manager doesn't work.

Michael, I have installed the LCARS theme in the past (in fact, it
might have been last halloween :]) without difficulty and it was
probably on the 770 and not the N800. More recent firmware could have
changed how things work causing the theme to not install correctly
anymore. In fact, there is a big fat warning on the homepage stating
such things:

from http://synthesize.us/LCARS_PADD :

"WARNING:These themes have an incompatibility with Nokia's July 6,
2007, software update for N800 (version 4.2007.26-8) which results in
the original statusbar and task navigator icons failing to be restored
upon uninstallation of a theme. So, pending a workaround, do not
install LCARS on the new OS (unless you want to keep it :) "

Reflashing the firmware will hopefully clear things up. Hopefully this
theme gets fixed up to work with more recent firmware.

I too prefer the mail interface to any web forum or board I've seen.
The disadvantage of email is if you come late to a discussion - and that
could be addressed by a good searchable, threaded archive.

But what about a mail to nntp gateway? Usenet (remember news, anyone)
is a good server-based system with client caching for fast access.
And dialup users can pick the threads they want to download.

Just a thought.


Also, if you're using mail to keep track of busy lists, a good client
is important. Any suggestions?

Hi all.

Has anyone of you had that problem before?

My application manager does not start either. Is there a way to fix that?

I don't have any objection :)

Maybe creating a separate package with a nice table would make sense,
and link it from the "main" PSM page.

Re: Does N770 have a REAL memory limit to 64MB?

[sebastian maemo]

Yes, it is perfectly possible. MMC is partitioned in two: one is FAT and the
other is LINUX. Both of them are going  to be completely independent (they
are different partitions).

The FAT one is going to be accessible via USB to your PC. And, of course,
the system may create on it the SWAP file of 64MB.

The LINUX partition is going to be where the ROOT file system is installed.
It will be as big as  you have chosen, and it will be a bit faster because
it is not compressed. Maybe almost double faster.

Excellent, thank you! I have been planning to do that, but never
managed to find time for that. I will try to add more information to
the page at some stage.

Feel free to add me as a technical contact. I don't know what is the
exact problem with your AP, but at least I can explain to the
manufacturer what they should support.

Would it make sense to add a table with different AP to document which AP works 
with setting xyz unter itos 200x and which will not?

I could add information about optimized psm settings for Siemens sx-541 AP for 
n800 and 770 HE. That would give us an overview. What do you think?

There will be a web interface similar to a message board to operate with
maemo-users and maemo-developers. 

People preferring email will be able to continue using email. People
preferring web based threads will be able to use them as well. Same
content delivered at the same time, same possibility to post and reply.

We have an experimental version running internally, it still needs more
testing and bugfixing. There are other maemo.org priorities that go
first, I'm hoping to reflect all this in the maemo roadmap... today?

Or we can just face it: we're getting old and then new generation is
enjoying different ways. :-)

Boards serve some purposes pretty nicely I must admit. Namely the "to
follow XYZ, go to site XYZ, no matter what device you have, as long as
it has a browser".

That sounds like a broken charger plug. Try a different charger?

For Freebox, both tests, but ping one was really visible. And I noticed
I got much better network response for browsing and so on since I set
n800 back to default PSM timeout. I'll try to lower default value
progressively to see if I can increase power saving while keeping
network working.

I couldn't extensively test arping on Fonera because it is using its own
subnet (and I only have one Wifi element at home). And I need to
reconfigure some routing to get ping working as expected. I'll report
later about my progress.
