Re: N900 and Google sync

2010-04-11 Thread Thomas Waelti
Google sync is not officially supported by the N900, as Google uses a non-standard version of the ActiveSync protocoll. It works, but not always and not reliable :-( Try Erminig-NG instead: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40408 Best regards -Tom > I have however failed to get my Google

(a) You should create a new thread, as your question is not directly related to the original one) b) Try the transmitter with a home stereo or table radio first, to see if it works at all. In the car, it might not work due to the position of the car antenna and metallic shielding. In my Audi A6

I have now uploaded my "recaller" widget to the autobuilder, it built OK and should show up in extras-devel during the next hours (IF the servers work again - I have 0.2.0 of sleeper still not showing up in the package interface after 2 hours in the queue). The widget is encoding in AAC stereo r

I will do that this way in my upcoming "recaller" call recording widget. You have a number of ways in maemo to do postinstall notifications, and one way makes the user actively "accept" a message (normally used for licencing agreements). The widget features a single button on the homescreen to

Re: N900 Price

2010-01-15 Thread Thomas Waelti
Not to start a "price war", but I don't think so. This is what you get more with the N900: - 32 GB of Flash RAM - Hardware keyboard - FM receiver/transmitter - TV-Out The "only" thing that the Nexus has is the digital compass and the trackball IMHO, this makes the N900 a much better value (at lea

Not only did I see your post, but I can confirm your problem, as I have the same: My own emails sent to the list never arrive in my mailing list inboxes, even though I have the settings in the subscriper page set as you describe. Anyone else with that problem? We might need to open a bug in bugz

Re: OS Stability

2009-12-02 Thread Thomas Waelti
With Windows Mobile, you almost never update - but not because of inherent stability, but commercial issues: the device producer normally just buy a certain version of WM for their device, but won't offer subsequent upgrades, so you end up with the original version and are pretty much stuck. Had
