Facebook app is just a commercial after update

[Kahlil Johnson]

Hi today I got this update on my maemo that included Maemo 5 and some
facebook stuff. However one of the installed was actually just an
icons that send me to the app manager. This is kind of silly since I
already have the facebook widget installed. I install it because I
thought it was an actual app, it shows as an app menu but in the end
is just a way to try to get it from the app manager.

Please let me know if anyone had that similar issue.
I guess I can just select and uinstall it exacept I am not sure I can
take it off since is not really an app.

how can you enforce a regulatory domain without first knowing geo  
location? this idea has been tossed around for a while, esp re Linux  
drivers for software radios. good luck with that one...

I also used my N900 two weeks without a SIM card. I also didn't notice 
this problem. But - I use now a very cheap 3G pre paid card which gives 
me 100MB for about 4€ in a month. This is really great, because I often 
use WLANs and 100MB are enough for me when I'm on the road.


Nice thing to check e-mails etc. if you are on the way - but it's not 
everytime family or WAF[1] compatible. :-)

Are you sure you can´t get a SIM card? ANY SIM card?.
Down here in Argentina, you can have a cheap pay-as-you-go mobile
phone line, where you buy and load credit for it wiith $15 cards you
buy everywhere.

Those lines often feature voice service, but no data plans. AND they
come with a SIM card.

The cost of getting one of those phone lines is next to nothing*, as
the business for the telcos is selling you credit (the
price-per-minute ends up beying sky-high but you´re not interested in
that). Just get one of those phone lines with the cheapest possible
phone, then swap the SIM card with the N900. Bingo, you have a sim
card on your N900.

*Down here the cheaoest is often the Motorola F3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_FONE_F3

"According to its very low price (starting from 20 to 30 €/$) the
F3/F3c is mainly sold with prepaid (pay-as-you-go) SIM cards"

"n Brazil, this phone (without SIM-lock) is sold for BRL 99.00 as of
February 2008 (approx. USD 57.00)"

"In the UK, this phone is being sold by Home Bargains (as of
29/04/2008) and £-Stretcher (as of 07/06/2008) with a Virgin Mobile
SIM (T-Mobile network) for £7.99"

Funny though that GeoIP isn't used to set the location if I have wifi
but no GPS. Why deprive yourself of a geolocalisation source?

By the way, although I think you can use it perfectly without a SIM
card, the device really shines when you have a 3G data plan.

Even if you don't plan to use it as a phone, I'd really recommend you
to get a SIM card with a good data plan.

If you're Spanish, check companies like Simyo or Masmovil, which have
cheap data plans.

Thanks for the link.

What are regulatory domains used for? Is it to decide which wifi channels you 
have the right to use depending on your location? If it is that, then using 
channels <= 11 could help, although it would be great that Nokia, an European 
company, would fix this problem.

Is it annoying enough to *not* buy a device?

Thanks.

This is how I use it, most of the time. It's a great media player, and a
nice wifi-enabled device for browsing, email and chat. I have no major
problems to report. I can also report that battery time seems to be
longer than generally reported - I tend to get a bit more than 2 days
worth of light use before needing to recharge, and a full day of fairly
heavy use.

N900 without a SIM card

[Alejandro López]

Hi all,

I'm considering buying one, but I'm not interested in using it as a phone, so I 
plan to put no SIM card. Some time ago I read on this same list that the N900 
had some problems when no SIM card was inserted but I can't find that mail. Is 
this problem still true? Is there a fix planned? What exactly is not working?

Thanks.

Bugzilla Data loss [was: Re: maemo.org Bugzilla migrating to new server]

[Andre Klapper]

[Updated message]

Hi,

there has been a data loss in maemo.org Bugzilla that has affected any
changes/additions/etc between

08/Jan/2010 04:00UTC  - 10/Jan/2010 04:00UTC.

The reason has been identified.
However as of course changes have taken place in the meantime it's
unclear how complex restoring would be - Probably unlikely to happen.

I have finished restoring what has been in my bugmail inbox, however
everybody who has committed changes (e.g. added reports, comments etc)
in Bugzilla in the mentioned time period is highly encouraged to recheck
by comparing her/his bugmail received during that time period to the
state of reports in Bugzilla, and refile if needed.

Also see https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7797 .

Again, we're very sorry for the inconvenience caused here.

Ubuntu 8.10 first and 9.04 after.
It's a pre-prod device (F4) so it may be an issue with the bootloader.

Haven't tried yet with my production device yet, though.

Will report.

We've already fixed this internally and the fix will be available in a
future software update. After that you'll get the ring tone both in the
device loudspeaker as well as the Bluetooth headset.

Your old device may have older bootloader, and it could be that cold
flashing (using serial cable) the device to update the bootloader would
solve the problem. But you'd need a development jig/dock for that. When
the flashing (USB) protocol has changed, sometimes it has required
bootloader update.

[jot] You should try to cold flash with USB cable to see it that helps.
