Re: [maemo-users] Unison and large transfers

[Gavin O' Gorman]

method of transferring files to and from the 770.  However, when I move
a large volume of data (for example a 300MB audio book from
librivox.org, or a recompressed movie from archive.org) I find that it
often fails or behaves erratically.  Transfer speeds fluctuate wildly,
the device gui often becomes unresponsive, and occasional reboots occur.

Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior?

Thanks,
Mike


I have experienced something similar when I ran wget on the device to
download a film from a local web server to the mmc.

It would get around 30mb or so, then the device started to act as you
say, CPU usage goes up and the download stalls. I ended up having to
use the USB to copy the file over, which was rather painful given the
usb 1.1 speed.

I would be happy if Nokia would work on stability issues.
The pre-packaged opera does not work as smooth as someone would expect
of a consumer device (you harly can browser for 2 hours without
restarting it several times) and the from-time-to-time crashes I am
sure everybody has seen are not really ... well ... what I would
expect from a Linux powered device.
EIther Nokia's software stack isn't polished enough (the N770 came too
late anyway) or there are some detect-crash-technologies which don't
work right.

 Indeed! I have an n770 and would definitely buy an 870 if it had a
 keyboard with a CTRL and ESC button (that is, a keyboard on which I
 could code, run vim, etc)

Code?!?!  You are insane.  The 770 screen is hardly big enough for web
browsing.  Code requires lots of physical screen space.

The ESC key for vim is the go back key by the way, in case you
didn't know about it :)

I've tried pull-out keyboards over the years: Zaurus, Mylo, even some
UMPCs.  They are unpleasant for me.  Maybe my fingers are thick, but I
find them more trouble than the 770 on-screen keyboard, which has the
predictive input too.

I was very happy with the Nokia 9000-series keyboards, though.  The
keys are large and there's enough distance between them.  I wouldn't
mind a clamshell 770 successor with those keys and a wide screen for
watching movies :)

Hi,

 The pre-packaged opera does not work as smooth as someone would expect
 of a consumer device (you harly can browser for 2 hours without
 restarting it several times)

Have you tried disabling the Flash plugin (and restarting Browser)?
Some of the Flash content on the web is not really ... well ...

PS. It's enlightening to run top when browsing the net
with and without Flash enabled...
