Issues with N900 (keyboard backlight, leds, jack sense)
I used RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin and RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin There isn't any headphone logo when I connect the headphone. If it's an hardware issue i'll have to send it to Nokia Center. What will they do ? Give a new one / Fix mine / Give my money back ? How long will it take ?

Installing Firefox 4 beta 2 in N900 - howto?
I'm experiencing problems installing Firefox 4 beta 2 on my device. I currently don't have Firefox/fennec installed at all. So here's what I do to get latest beta installed: 1) Go to http://firefox.com/m/beta in N900's browser - click Download for Maemo button. 2) App Manager starts and prompts to add new Mozilla multi Beta Catalogue. I confirm so App Manager takes its usual time to do stuff before I get prompt to install Firefox 1.1 (!!!) which comes from Ovi repository, rather than Firefox 4.0b2 from Mozilla repo. 3) I cancel that installation, go to catalogue manager, disable Ovi repository and completely delete Mozilla beta repo as well. App Manager again takes time to refresh repos in the background. 4) I go back to firefox.com/m/beta and restart whole procedure. 5) When App Manager kicks in, I get prompt to add Mozilla beta catalogue, I confirm that but then I get... Unable to donwload fennec. Application package not found. :-o What gives?!

Re: Installing Firefox 4 beta 2 in N900 - howto?
I also had plenty of issues installing Fennec Beta on Maemo. What I do is resort to terminal. Yesteday after App Manager added the Beta catalog and said Fennec was already installed (it was, but B1) I went to Terminal and typed: apt-get install fennec and it quits saying Silently failing to process handler (or something of that sort). Then I typed: apt-get upgrade and that happily upgraded it. However, last time I had Fennec installed from the Ovi Repo I had to play a lot with apt-get in order to install the Beta.

RE: help please ...
Well, there are a lot of different things that could be going on and since everyone's phone is likely to have different things installed, it is hard to come up with a general recommendation, but that said, let me suggest a few things. Do you have OpenSSH installed? It is typically the first thing I install on my N900. It allows you to connect to your N900 from another computer, so you have a full keyboard and screen to use when you are trying to figure things out. This makes it much easier to figure out what is going on. If not, do you have rootsh installed? It will allow you to get root privileges from the Xterminal screen if that is all you have. I'm a command line sort of guy, so I would start off by checking various things on the command line: First, if you have root access, do anapt-get clean This may get read of some old files that are laying around. You can also try apt-get autoclean orapt-get autoremove If these work, you may be okay. If not, there are a few problems you might run into. It might be that you aren't doing it as root, and it will give you an error. You might also have the application manager trying to do things, in which case it will give you a message about being unable to lock the administration directory. Make sure you aren't running the application manager, and that it has had a bit of time to finish any background tasks. To see what the status of my file system is, I'd enter df to see if there are any filesystems that are out of space. I'd also do amount to see if any file systems are mounted read only. If you find any that are out of space, that is where you're memory problem is. If you find a filesystem that is mounted read only, that could also be your problem. If you have OpenSSH installed and a linux machine around, you can mount your N900 as a filesystem on the Linux machine using sshfs. Lacking that, you should be able to connect via the USB and the PC Connectivity software and move files off of your N900. Personally, I don't use PCs much any more so I can't really help a lot with that. If all else fails, you may have to reflash the phone. In this case, you probably need to reflash everything to get back to an initial state, instead of just reflashing the root filesystem which is often done when upgrading. Perhaps others will have additional ideas. Hope this helps and good luck.
