maemo.org Bugday: Dec 15th, 18:00-03:00 UTC
Heja, I'm proudly announcing the first maemo.org Bugday: Tuesday, Dec 15th, 18:00-03:00 UTC[1] in #maemo-bugs on Freenode IRC This is a nice way to get involved if you are a fan of the Maemo platform and the N900, but cannot or do not want to write code for example. Bugdays are about hanging out together on IRC, triaging/discussing some reports in maemo.org Bugzilla, and introducing new people into triaging. No technical knowledge needed, no obligations. So, step by and say hello to the Bugsquad[2]. :-) andre [1] Timezone converter: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html [2] For more info: http://wiki.maemo.org/Bugsquad -- Andre Klapper (maemo.org bugmaster) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re[2]: maemo-mapper crashing

Mine was crashing occasionally when downloading maps also. One time Maemo rebooted. That must have corrupted the database file because after that it couldn't read/write it. So I started a new database and it's been fine ever since. My database was fairly large, 1.1G, so that might have been part of the problem. Submitting a bug report doesn't require any Linux/n810 savy. It more like web surfing. Just got the garage page and create an account. https://garage.maemo.org/account/login.php Then at the top, search for "maemo-mapper". Once at the mapper page, click on "Tracker" on one of the menu bars. On the tracker page, click on "Bugs" line. Once on the bug list page, click "Submit New" at the top and then fill in the form. Put as much detail and information as you can. -Mike Mike Sherman ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
N900 Questions from a new user
I just received my n900 over the weekend and have been playing around with it. Like most new devices some things are better, some seem worse. I thought I'd ask the group a couple of questions that I have to see if anything can be changed. 1. GPS/Maps seems to suck. First I don't have a phone data plan and I'm not getting one. WiFi for me. So when I turn on GPS I leave the Assisted part off (network) I can not ever get the gps to actually lock. I've left it on for hours without touching it and it never locks. Also when I start up the maps app it asks me for a wifi connection and I get a little downloading data indication. I have to cancel this not once but several times before the app gives up and really thinks I don't want to use data, or maybe it isn't available. So, first what is up with the GPS does it even work without the network connection. Second, it appears that once again nokia has screwed the pooch on the Map app, I would like to know if mapper ala (n810) is going to be available or is already. 2. Camera Flash - When I take a picture using the flash the left half on the picture is always noticeably brighter to the point that the picture looks like crap. I've tried this several different times in different lighting conditions with various results but everytime I can see the problem and it makes the flash unusable. Is something wrong with my unit or is this just how it is. 3. Contact Lookup using keyboard - So you can begin typing a contacts name from any desktop and the contacts app will popup and narrow down your name, works great the first time. However the second time from any desktop nothing will happen. I've figured out that the first time this happens the system opens the contact list but never closes it. It the contact app is open then this feature doesn't work. So I've been having to close the contacts app myself everytime so that this feature works. Is this the intended functionality or a bug. That is all for now. I'm sure I will have more later. thank you tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

If contact list is open but on bg, it switches to Contacts app. If a contact is selected in the latter, the feature won't work but I find that reasonable, that means that I havent' finished with that contact. If Contact list is closed, it reappears. But I have 41-10 so maybe a regression. -Vitaly > That is all for now.

Contact imports
Hello I was wondering if there was an easy way to migrate all contacts and calendar entries from Windows Mobile 5.0 to Maemo 5. Can you suggest any paths? Thanks, Luis ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I've tried this several different times in different lighting It has been suggested (on the forum, I think) that this is related to the silver finish around the kickstand, but so far I have not seen anything so terrible as to discard the picture.

Can´t believe N900 doesn´t support 850/1900 UMTS.. .
Sheesh, I was ready to order the N900 but then I found it only supports WCDMA at 900-1800-2100. Down here in Argentina 3G uses 850 and 1900 Mhz. Was it too difficult for Nokia to include worldwide 3G compatibility? Oh well... FC ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Contact imports
Hi, I can only speak of migrating contacts from Android, and that was as easy as exporting as .vcf from GMail and importing into the Maemo addressbook. So if your WinMo can export .vcf it should be quite easy.
