Some Questions to Maemo and the N900
Hello Everybody here is what I am planing to do ... since I am from Germany and the N900 costs about 500€ here at the moment and in the US only 380€ I decided it would be smart to bring me back a US phone. This brings me to my first question ... can I do that ... as far as I understand the Hardware is except the keyboard the same so it should also work with german carriers, right? Do I need to flash the firmware somehow or can I use the US firmware? 2nd Question: What about the keyboard I was listening to the conversation about mapping keys on the n900 and even though it seems to be a little work I should be able to use it like a german keyboard, right? 3rd Question: This one has nothing to do with the English phone, this is about the pim apps of maemo. Since I am running my own kolab-server I would love to have my n900 sync via syncml with the kolab server. And this simply brings me to the question is syncml supported and if not jet will it be in the near future? Thanks in advance Alexander ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool documentation updated

Flasher-3.5 uses same Nokia Connectivity drivers with PC Suite and sometimes cooperation with PC Suite fails somehow. We are investigating these problem reports. In my particular case, Flasher 3.5 works reliably for me under Windows XP as long as I: 1) Unplug my main USB hub and use a directly connected USB port (actually it is a docking station port so there is still a hub in the docking station being used but having lots of devices and lots of hubs seems to make Windows less likely to even spot the plugging in of the device, let alone actually work!). 2) Reboot Windows, so it knows nothing about all those devices I have just unplugged! 3) Once Windows has started, PC Suite starts running -- I need to tell it to exit (although I don't need to uninstall it). If I leave it running then when I plug in the N900 with the u key held down, PC Suite gives an error message and Flasher does not see the device. 4) Use the hold down the u key trick (although this step may not be necessary with the production device -- I always do it so I have not checked).

Re: Limit the email client to a x period
Andre Klapper escribiu: Am Dienstag, den 12.01.2010, 14:43 -0600 schrieb Kahlil Johnson: Hi I submitted this bug which I wonder if there is any interested beside mine to support. The request for a feature to limit the amount of email retrieved from the maemo client. Most people dont need all our Inbox and specially on a mobile client, not even the header. So my request is for a tool that allow me to have a 1 month/week inbox that I can retrieve from IMAP or POP. I am not sure if this is possible at all because I am not a guru of the email system or how it works but the goal is to just be able to check the latest email without waiting too much for the client to recieve all the updates or store any of them. At least for IMAP, the next Maemo5 update (not yesterday's 1.2009.44-1) will by default download/show 250 messages and have a button in the one-folder view to Download more messages (or something similar like that, I don't have my N900 around right now to check). Actually it'll download all the headers but will only show 250 by default. The first fetch of messages will take some time if you have a lot but after that the list will be shown much faster because the UI only will have to sort and filter 250 messages instead of thousands. Obviously the next step is to download only the required headers but that implies several risky changes in tinymail.

There is a tiny bug thought, which it duplicates the events. But I think this is a great combo since it also has a widget so all the alerts are running. I guess maybe Kollab will have something similar. Other alternative is to wait until Maemo 6 or even going all experimental and download KDE for the N900 and then you could use Kontact. My 2 cents.

If you don't want to use the normal Facebook site you can also try these more mobile-friendly versions: http://touch.facebook.com/ http://m.facebook.com/ Or you could attempt to download and install the Garnet OS VM for Maemo (latest is beta5 dated December 2009, I think) from the access software web page and then install the Facebook client for Palm OS on the N900... see how /if it works. :) (I don´t have a N900 to test, just a N800).

Recording calls
anyone know about an app that can record my calls, I would love to have something like that. I have it on my desktop for skype and is perfect. In my linux box I use this app http://atdot.ch/scr/ Having it somehow integrated on the Maemo phone app would be groundbreaking. So far nobody in the mobile market have released these apps and is so useful, nothing like forwarding a conversation to a third party specially for businesses.

Re: Recording calls
Well there are no universal laws, so you have to specify to which country laws are you talking about. But there are already many tools to record calls including server side SIP call recordings and call centers also record their conversation (they do disclaim).

RE: Recording calls
I've managed to record calls by starting the Recorder application and then placing a call and putting it on Speaker phone. It isn't a nicely integrated app, and requires using the speaker, but it works well as a temporary work around.
