RE: maemo-users Digest, Vol 30, Issue 32
About playing WAV file... 2. When I log into the GrandCentral mobile website and try to listen to an audio recording (mp3), I get a File format not supported error message by the audio player. If I save the file first to the 770, than I can get it to play. Is it that the audio player is not supporting streaming from GrandCental. (Note: I am using the mobile website, as the regular website appeas to use flash that is not compatible with the 770 browser.) Is any one using Gizmo and GranCentral with either the 770 (or n800)? -- next part -- I just updated my 770 to IT2006, installed Gizmo, and am able to make/receive calls as far as I've tested so far. The problem I have encountered (not grand central, just gizmo) is incoming voice mail files. These are sent (in my case) to a gmail file, and when I attempt to play the attached WAV file, I also get file format not supported. If I save the file first, and then open with the audio player application, it works OK. Just wanted to note this as being separate issue from GrandCentral service.

Re: Nokia 770 with Gizmo and GrandCentral (n800?)
I didn't know about the mobile GrandCentral interface until it was mentioned here. I guessed (m.grandcentral.com) and found it. The mobile interface causes the N800 to pop up a dialog offering to play the MP3 file using the default media player. When I do that, the media player opens, but no file is played. I don't get an error message. More detective work is in order. Under Windows, Firefox invokes my media player just fine; under Ubuntu, ditto, although I had to install additional codecs to play MP3. The regular Flash-driven GrandCentral interface works on my N800, although it's irritating and slow. I wish GC offered a simplified UI that restricted its use of Flash to where it makes sense (the audio player), and didn't demand such a ridiculously wide screen. I'll probably switch to the mobile UI on my desktop browser. :-) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Well, you need Y cable that comes with most/all 2.5 IDE-USB enclosures. It has one mini-USB and two USB males, one for data and one for additional power (since 2.5 disk needs 1A for spinup). I already had one (bought elsewhere) but they got it too http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.310 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.669 Then there is usb female to female adapter (already had one too). http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2646 BTW the soshine 4xAAA gives really low power. Today I tried to connect XBOX gamepad and it didn't work. Then I tried to power it from 5V adapter and it worked OK so it was power issue. Sadly XBOX controller contains builtin USB hub for XBOX memory cards so it needs more power than simple mouse. And the hub cannot be disabled since the controller itself is connected to the hub as third device.
