MP3 Tags on the radio

[Alejandro López]

Hi,

there was a time when men were men and wrote their own
drivers,
and my N900 sent the MP3 tags (title, album, and author) over the FM
transmitter using RDS . But
long time ago, if I'm not confused when I installed SP2, my N900 stopped
doing this and started sending only the word "Nokia", and nothing else.

Did somebody else experience the same problem?

Did somebody solve it?

Thanks.

Third input language

[Alejandro López]

Hi,

It is currently possible to switch input languages by pressing CTRL+Space to
be able to use the corresponding dictionary for auto-completion. However,
the configurable languages are limited to 2 (at least in the GUI). Is there
any way to get a third language? Any file to modify in /etc or the home
directory?

Thanks.

As far as I understand. EGSM means "Extended GSM" and is what you see as 2.5g.

There is no way to use 3G with the N900 in Argentina. The 1900 MHZ band used in 
Argentina for 3G is not supported by the N900.

Are they easily accessible? My previous case had holes for the buttons, so they 
were usable, but it was difficult to press the buttons because the fingers 
would get blocked by the borders of the holes, requiring the use of the nails.

You are probably moving the files to a fat filesystem, which doesn't support

Hi Tero,

I think there might be a confusion here. Bug 5445 is about the menu opened when 
pressing on the status area (I don't know it's official name), not the 
application menu displayed when pressing on the application title. When in 
phone portrait mode, the application menu works well, but if you press on the 
status areas where the battery and wifi status is shown (between others), then 
nothing happens.

Internet packet connection

[Alejandro López]

Hi,

some time ago I installed fMMS which created a new internet packet connection 
called MMS. Then I removed fMMS but the connection was not deleted. When I 
tried to manually remove this connection, I found that the "Delete" button (I'm 
guessing the name as I use it in Spanish) is disabled, so I have no way to 
remove it.

Does anybody know how can I remove this unwanted connection?

I noticed that my battery is being drawn since I installed PR1.2 yesterday. So 
when I saw your mail I checked my device and found the same messages, except 
for the deauthentication/authentication every 900 seconds.

What is more important,  I also have some message like this:

[56910.552368] w11251: ERROR Power save entry failed, giving up
[56994.833557] w11251: ERROR Power save entry failed, giving up
[57034.021118] w11251: ERROR Power save entry failed, giving up

Which could explain the battery being drawn, but I have no clue about what it 
is.

My wifi configuration is the same as yours except that at this precise comment 
I'm using WEP. At home I use WPA and I'll check whether I have the 
deauthentication/authentication loop.

Upgrade to PR 1.2 gone wrong

[Alejandro López]

Hi all,

To be sure that upgrading to PR 1.2 was quite simple and avoid any possible 
issue, I waited 24 never-ending hours for the SSU. Today
the upgrade package appeared in the application manager, so I made a backup and 
fully charged the battery in preparation for the
installation. I installed the upgrade and it went horribly wrong. During the 
upgrade I happened to read a message that disappeared
quite quickly stating that some operation had failed, but then the upgrade went 
on (nothing in this world would make me stop the
operation). When the moment for the reboot came, the problems started: my N900 
would start booting never asking for the security
code, and when starting to show the desktop, it would reboot; and the loop 
started again. It was impossible to power it off except
by removing the battery.

So I decided to flash the image manually in the old-fashion way. After several 
USB problems (which disappeared when I blacklisted
the cdc-phonet module in my PC - Thanks to the maemo wiki!), I succeeded to 
flash the device. Now all my applications and most of
the configurations are gone, so I'm getting ready to restore the backup I did 
just before starting.

I wonder what could have caused the initial upgrade to go that wrong. Any 
ideas? I have nothing modified in my device.

I thought reflassing was something from the past since Nokia started

But as soon as you try to edit the contact entry (any field, not necessarily

It's a known problem. AT&T's 3G network uses a band (1900 MHz) not supported by 
the N900 (900/1700/2100 MHz).

How to resize the GPE Summary applet?

[Alejandro López]

Hi all,

I'm using GPE Summary in my new N900 and I can't figure out how to resize the 
applet on the desktop, although in Diablo it was quite easy. Does any body know 
how to do it?

Thanks in advance,

Being a mobile device, it is quite intelligent to try and use the GSM network 
to determine the reg domain. However, what is not intelligent is to fall back 
to US when it fails to determine it. Instead, it should fall back to a reg 
domain determined by the user.

And to make it better. Using the GSM network should be optional.

Does the SIM card need to be activated? I think I still have one I bought in my

And I find it quite expensive to pay 18 euros/month just to avoid this bug.

I see that there are some ways to work around this problem, but wouldn't it be 
easier if it just worked correctly from the beginning. I understand that it is 
the FCC that Nokia cares about, but I don't live in the USA, so why should I 
(and the rest of the world) be constrained by their laws?

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?

There you got a point.

However, if you buy a (quite expensive) 3G device and when you try to use it 
you found out that it will not work on 3G, wouldn't you be disappointed?

And when I say "you find out", I actually mean millions of people in North and

Maybe for a particular carrier, but the official frequencies in the USA are

Fernando,

I think Argentina uses the same frequencies as the US, so I would be very 
surprised if those frequencies are not supported by the N900. Maybe the 
supported frequencies depend where you buy it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands#UMTS.2FHSDPA.2FHSUPA_frequency_bands_deployment

I don't know if this is the case for the N900 (I hope not), but with the N80 
there was a funny problem. In Argentina the European version was sold as it 
supported the Spanish language, but it would not work on UMTS because it used 
the European bands. To have the N80 working on 3G you needed to buy it in the 
US, but in that case it would not support Spanish. Nice, ain't it?

Good luck.
Alejandro.

How to best partition the external memory card

[Alejandro López]

Hi all,

some time ago I replaced in my N810 my old 1Gb SanDisk memory card by a new 4Gb 
Class-4 Micro-SDHC (with an adaptor) Kingston memory
card and partitioned it to have just one big partition which I formated in 
FAT32 (standard maemo tools). Since then I find my tablet
a bit slow (slower than before), specially when writing; and some things do not 
work as expected (i.e. the media player starts
updating the media library but will never end).

Since I read in this list that Class 4 should be enough for the N810, I was 
wondering if it could be the way I partitioned the
memory card that is posing the problem. Should I have partitioned it in several 
smaller partitions? Which is the recommended size
for a partition?

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

Partitioning a flash card

[Alejandro López]

Hi all,

Reading the wiki page about partitioning a flash card 
(http://wiki.maemo.org/Partitioning_a_flash_card ) I found that it says that a
VFAT partition must be declared of type 6. Is this correct? I thought vfat 
(FAT32) was type 0x0b.

Running sfdisk on the internal memory card will show this:

Nokia-N810-23-14:~# sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 61440 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start End   #cyls#blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1  0+  61439   61440-   1966072b  W95 FAT32
/dev/mmcblk0p2  0   -   0  00  Empty
/dev/mmcblk0p3  0   -   0  00  Empty
/dev/mmcblk0p4  0   -   0  00  Empty

which seems to confirm my supposition.

Did I get it wrong, or is it just an error in the wiki page?

Thanks.

How do you tell Maemo Mapper to store the maps on the external card? I checked

What I mean is that the N810:
- was announced with Skype running on it,
- at that time Skype had videoconf running on linux for some time,
- the N810 run linux,
- the device has a webcam.

With all this in mind, although it is not explicitly said (I accept!), how can 
you imagine that there is no videoconf? Everything is/was there to have it!

Imagine for a moment that when you launch Skype on the tablet for the very 
first time you discover that only written chat is supported. No voice at all. 
It is normal to expect voice in Skype, as it is normal to expect video. So it 
was/is a realistic expectation, even if no other device had this feature. 

Maybe no other device has this feature, but one device must be the first one to 
have it. I thought it was the N810.

On the other side, it isn't Nokia's fault if Skype didn't port a newer version 
of their application, but Nokia forgetting to mention it is an old version with 
missing features is something only a marketing guy would do. You see my point?

Alejandro.

One thing that deceived me is that Skype was announced as and important 
application. Although it is true that Skype works, it's a rather old version 
(1.7) that doesn't support video conference. As the device includes a webcam, I 
was expecting Skype to be able to use it. In my particular case, videoconf is 
the only usage I have for Skype.

Strange! I see the opposite. In the link you sent I can see "América Latina" 
and no "México"...

The problem is that we cannot file a bug so easily. As Fernando mentioned, this 
setting could be correct for Mexico (I have no clue) and for sure it's 
incorrect for Argentina. Some more investigation is needed in order to make a 
good bug report.

I'll see what I can find and try and file a bug tonight.

Re: Bug: LatAm region settings wrong

[Alejandro López]

Fernando,

I had the same problem and worked-around it by setting the device language to 
"Spanish (Latin America)" and Regional config to "Spanish (Spain)".

Hope this helps.
Alejandro.

However, it is a dangerous mode. Read carefully the page down to the end 
before doing anything. Use it at your own risk.

Re: Can I run java on n810

Not Java but you can use Jalimo (thought I never used it):

Hope this helps.

Video conference

[Alejandro López]

Hi,

When I decided to buy my N810 I was expecting it to be able to do some 
videoconferencing. I was specially happy knowing that Skype was running 
on the platform.

When I bought it, I discovered that the Skype version supported is 
unable to use webcams, so no videoconference is possible (only after 2.0).

I then installed Gizmo. If it supports videoconferencing I didn't 
succeed to make it work.

Is there any other videoconferencing software for the N810? What are you 
guys using?

Thanks,
Alejandro.

I remember having read today, I think in this same list, that 
connections from this address would be forbidden in order to prevent

Based on what is said in this FAQ:

http://andrew.daviel.org/N810-FAQ.html#modmap

I modified my /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-44 file to use 
Fn+BackSpace as Tab. It works great, specially for completion.

Re: Power consumption and WLAN APs

Looking at this table I see that the high consumption happens when "test" 
beacon is enabled, whichever the state of "triumf."

Just guessing. Wouldn't it be possible that this consumptions happens because, 
as the N810 is not connected to this WLAN, every time a beacon arrives it must 
check whether it is a known WLAN to decide if it must automatically connect to 
it? If the beacon is sent every 100ms, the check will happen at this frequency. 
You can try sending the beacon with a lower frequency (i.e. 1/s) and check if 
the consumption goes down.

Alejandro.
