Re: I just want to buy a N800 but Nokia don't let me do!
Sounds like you need a US-based credit-card wielding third-party that is willing to pay for the device and either give it to your friend in California, or ship to you in Brazil and for you to then at some point transfer funds to the third party to cover their costs. Not an ideal situation at all, but possibly the only option as your friend has no valid US credit card. :( ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: I just want to buy a N800 but Nokia don't let me do!
Don't know if you read all my mail: 1- No, i didn't called Nokia yet... maybe it is a way out. The thing is: how can i call a 1-800 number from Brazil? (maybe skypeOut...) 2- 'cause Nokia does not ship to Brazil the N800. And, if it did, i would have to pay 60% more just for tax! 3- No, I'm not the "the guy in the Norden with a stolen credit card". My friend is just a student in US, so he doesn't have a credit card from US. His credit card is also from Brazil, with a brazillian billing address!! Thanks again! 2007/3/28, Paul Klapperich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I can't help you at all, but I have a couple of thoughts: 1) Have you tried calling Nokia?

If there was a UI, there certainly would be such a button. The way it is now, users have to enter "syncevolution " in a shell and then could do an "rm -r /var/tmp/SyncEvolution*" after ensuring that the log is no longer needed. In case someone is worried about filling up the internal flash, the directory can be changed to something which resides on the flash card by changing spds/syncml/config.txt:logdir. There's also a feature to keep the last n logs. There's no possibility to turn of the logging yet; there simply was no need for this due to its origin as a desktop application where a few MB on a hard disk are tolerable... obviously this needs to be changed for Maemo. -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.estamos.de/ ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: IT OS 2007 v.3 Upgrade
I think we should stop wasting time on things like this that really don't matter and concentrate on things that do. In my experience anything that involves legal takes ages and is very difficult to change Hmmm... That's an interesting point and one obviously one that is shared by Nokia. My point is simply this - what one person finds a waste of time is not by another. In spite of the "wasting time" comment, I don't think anyone is trying to say that this bug doesn't matter. It's been noted that the effort in fixing it is substantial (due to the involvement of legal), and it's a fact that there is a trivial workaround (clicking ok a few times when you flash the device). There are other bugs that that do not have trivial workarounds, some of them have been waiting for fixes much longer than this report. In a world with limited resources, not everything can get fixed "right now". It's also worth noting that someone (marius?) offered to accept a patch to disable the dialog in red-pill mode. If the bug is very important to you or anyone else, they can create a fix or organize a bounty/sponsorship to encourage someone else to create one.

RE: IT OS 2007 v.3 Upgrade
I hear what you're saying; however, I'm not certain the result is valid. While you're correct that all of them can be reset, applications can still cause them to fail. For example, without all the applications I run installed, the Palm T3 stays up-and-running without effort. With all the applications, it fails at least once a day. It took me a week to track down the specific program. In short, yes, the way the OS' are implemented is different but the effects of errant applications can be the same.

I think it is slightly different since in all those examples you have simple way to recover because the basic system is in ROM and undamaged and you can do 'hard reset' clearing RAM and system boots. On the tablet you can remove/break even system files since they are mixed with user stuff in same filesystem. The only way to recover is to flash device over USB cable which is a bit harder and you need to download firmware and flasher. So all those devices are self-repairing, nokia tablet is not.

After a few seconds, then the video update rates slows down to about an update a second. Then after a few more seconds it stops, and the unit is pretty much locked up. Sometimes I can close the camera app, sometimes I have to reboot the unit (by holding down on the power key for several seconds). Yeah, it's unusable here. The OS quite often offers to close the Camera application as it has stopped responding. The application consumes massive amounts of CPU and the low frame rate (~5fps, sometimes less than 1fps) makes framing a shot next to impossible. Definately needs more work as it's not currently usable - but even if it were, the camera image quality when indoors is frankly awful (this applies to internet web video too). ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
RE: Camera app slow, locks up?
Agree here. I had higher hopes for it, especially singe its existence made me forget about making own camera application months ago. On the possitive side there is another camera application project on garage and no-one stops us from making a a far better application with open source ;) Br, --jakub >Subject: Re: Camera app slow, locks up? > >It's brutal ... seems like this was an exercise to "check the box" >since there's a camera in there > >On 3/28/07, David Hagood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Does anybody else find that the Camera application is slow, and >> occasionally locks up the unit? >> >> What I see is that for the first several seconds after starting, the >> camera app's update rate is fairly fast (though not as fast as the >> video call app - about one-half as fast).

If the device doesn't have enough battery to appear on the USB and keep up long enough so that flasher would find it, only thing that can be done is to change into the device a battery that has been charged somewhere else (e.g. battery from one of the N-series phones). - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Yes, you are correct. I'll release version 0.9.3 (I need to come home to upload it to the repository :), but it's also possible to just make it available through garage file download section. I'd appreciate your feedback on that. -- Misha signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Camera app slow, locks up?
Does anybody else find that the Camera application is slow, and occasionally locks up the unit? What I see is that for the first several seconds after starting, the camera app's update rate is fairly fast (though not as fast as the video call app - about one-half as fast). After a few seconds, then the video update rates slows down to about an update a second. Then after a few more seconds it stops, and the unit is pretty much locked up.

Quick launcher and non-DBus commands
Well, I've worked out how to launch a given program in a shell and to create a .desktop file to allow that command to be added to the menus. The key is to provide the command in the Exec= entry, and to NOT provide a X-Osso-Service= line. If you provide the service line, then the Exec will be ignored. However, I cannot add such items to the quick launcher desktop applet - it seems to me that the quick launcher requires the X-Osso-Service line.
