Re: [maemo-users] Bad Freedom Input keyboard or poor kbdd driver on N800?

But still a lot of keypresses are missed. I've watched the output of kbdd in the shell, and it seems like the driver skips more keys the faster I type. How fast can you type with that keyboard? I'm almost as fast with the on-screen keyboard... Just my experience with the driver on the 770. It's far more stable than it used to be, for whatever reason. The keyboard itself is not the best quality, some keys do require quite a bit of force to be registered. There is some lag, akin to a ssh session over a modem perhaps and on the rare occasion the keys do repeat. Having said all that however, I can type reasonably quickly with it, certainly much faster than the on screen keyboard. I have yet to test it for extended sessions.

Re: [maemo-users] N800 doesn't charge that well
On 2/9/07, Kahlil Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a N770 and an N800, I have had issues where I leave the N800 charging with the N770 cable and it doesnt charge at all. It doesnt loose power but it doesnt increase it either. When I plug it in, I am able to see the charging icon but when I unplug it, I see that the bars are still on the same position. Anyone has been in this situation? I haven't personally seen it-- I use both chargers interchangeably, but I've heard of one person that couldn't use the 770 charger with their n800 at all. To the best of my knowledge the chargers are identical so I'm not sure why this should be the case unless there was something wrong with the charger. If you plug in your n800 to the n800 charger does it proceed to charge normally if you switch chargers after seeing this behavior?

[maemo-users] Python2.5 not available for ITOS 3.2006.49-2 ?
Hi, some time ago I successfully installed and used Python 2.5 runtime and dev packages on my Nokia 770, following the instructions on the Python for Maemo page on garage. Now I've updated the firmware with ITOS 3.2006.49-2, but trying to follow the same instructions I cannot find the packages, neither with Application manager or with apt-get install from terminal. Does it mean Python 2.5 is not available for ITOS 3.2006.49-2 on Nokia 770? Will it be available in (how much?) time or I should revert to Python 2.4 (which seems available among the proposed packages in the Application manager)? -- Antonio ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Just so it's really easy to turn it off, change station, etc when the alarm goes off. I'd like to see FM radio integrated with the Internet radio applet so that there is only one applet on the desktop. This would also allow coordinating muting of the radio streams, FM and Internet appear to be on two different audio paths. If you turn on the Internet radio the FM radio continues to play and is mixed in. That's probably not what you want, but your do want alerts from the desktop mixed in. Alarm functions would be nice. The radio app could also display a large clock when open. The alarm could be made smart too, if Internet or FM were not available it could try the other and then fall back to recorded music just to make sure the alarm is heard. Check out Chumby, http://www.chumby.com/ Chumby is a wifi clock radio that allows you to download various flash applets to customize your experience. It would be very easy to make the N800 emulate the Chumby. There are links to example widgets on the home page. I'd like to see a world clock for an alarm where is shows the current day/night line. Is the N800 smart enough to know when it is on AC and not blank the display? The N770 didn't appear to have this feature. The clock could be set as a screen saver when on AC power. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I think it's a mistake that there is only one set of power management timeouts - there should be separate timeouts for battery and AC power. With two power management settings you would specify much longer dim and blanking screen timeout values (perhaps even infinite) when the device is on AC power, but specify short values (perhaps 2 and 5 minutes) when on battery power. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

[maemo-users] Using my treo for bluetooth DUN
Hey all, So I've replaced my WSOD 770 with an n800 (tigerdirect let me pay the difference to upgrade since they held the extended warranty...) I had the 770 working with my treo flawlessly... but I can't get the n800 to use it for DUN... It can see it, pair with it... mark it as a phone... I can set up the connection... but it doesn't offer it as a selection for network connections. I'm setting it up as a cdma phone... when I try to set it up as a GSM/UMTS it sees the connection and of course, doesn't work... Anyone else have this combo working or have advice for me?

The 770/n800 both know perfectly well when they're on AC or being charged. Having different behaviors would make sense; the Zaurus SL series did this. I'm guessing it's mostly a situation where there are too many things to work on and too few hands to work on it! :-) Anyway, if it's important enough perhaps someone should submit a RFE; I'm less concerned about it than system bugs and USB host, for example.

There is a significant application area being missed by not having two power settings. When you get to your desk and plug the device in it should, if you configure it to, leave the screen on and run a screen saver type application. This screen saver could work as a clock, music player with album art, show pictures of the kids, show your calendar, etc, etc. This passive behavior should be automatic as soon as the device is plugged into AC. This application area is what chumby, www.chumby.com, is all about. The N770/N800 can be useful on the desk as well as on the go. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
