Re: SDHC Card Speeds

2008-01-22 Thread Julian Toler
I bought a class 6 8Gb card (full size SD for my N800) as I wanted to have the highest speed available for dumping large backup files onto the card (data backups from various PCs, not from the N800) and also for dropping large video files on there from time to time. I have an external SDHC card rea

I am not too worried about video with Skype (although of course it would be nice!) - what I really miss compared with Desktop Skype is the ability to send SMS text messages. This is a brilliant feature of Skype and saves me a load of cash (I only have a PAYG mobile phone account so SMS messages are

USB Ethernet

2008-01-11 Thread Julian Toler
My last pocket Linux device was the fabulous Archos PMA400. This had both client and host USB ports as standard, and the host port could be used to connect to a network via a simple USB Ethernet adapter. This worked well when a wifi network was not available, but a wired router was. The USB Etherne

On/Off switch problem

2008-01-11 Thread Julian Toler
I have an odd problem - my N800 is almost impossible to switch on! I have to hold down the on/off switch for a long time (1 minute or so) for the device to boot. Removing the battery briefly seems to cure it - it turns on immediately after replacing the battery. Is the switch polled at a regular in

Hi I have been trying to import all my contacts into the standard contacts application and have nearly sorted it out, although my most recent import has resulted in one field out of step (emails in the telephone field doh!) Can someone point me to the location of the data file for this application

Re: SanDisk microSD 8 GB SDHC class 4

2008-01-07 Thread Julian Toler
The only other issue is *speed*, capacity and price. The 2Gb SanDisk microSD card I have in my MP3 player is way slower than the 8Gb class 6 SDHC card I bought recently from eBuyer here in the UK (UK pounds 29 plus 17.5% tax). Speed will be important if you use the card for virtual memory, map cac

I tried to install osso-statusbar-cpu (from the list of installable apps in my Application Manager) but it tells me I have an incompatible package - hildon-libs0 I found the following command to tell me about the dependencies: apt-cache show, so I ran this and it gave me the following: Nokia-N800
