My shirt pocket has other plastic cards in it. and a sweater over it, so the unit is not getting much air circulation. So, I am wondering, am I exceeding the heat specs for the unit by doing this? Would I have a problem if I started with a fully charged battery, and ran for more than an hour or two? If I plugged in the power cable and had the N900 on a desk in front of me while I listened, should I expect the unit to be cooler over a long period of time? TIA for your attention. My n900 gets very warm on the left side when I stream or download for a long time. It never feels like it is about to melt or anything so I've just assumed this was fine.

The only thing I wish worked that doesn't on the n900 is the x forwarding oh, and I wish I had the older keyboard layout.

Re: X Server Keyboard not working
Wow, thank you and what a cluster. I sure hope nokia gives us the option. I can't imagine leaving something this wrong broken. Nokia fix this and fix it soon. tim On Sunday 13 December 2009 07:20:45 pm Jeffrey Mark Siskind wrote: I can't be certain but my guess is that this is the the X input focus issue. Apparently, Nokia changed the window manager in maemo5 so that it doesn't set input focus on windows as they are exposed. So that apps need to call XSetInputFocus() if they want input focus. Apparently most window managers don't exhibit this behavior and many apps were written assuming that they did not need to call XSetInputFocus(). There is some debate as to what the spec requires. But in any case many apps, such as emacs, and apparently also kmail, don't work with the maemo5 window manager, even when run remotely. There have been many threads on this, among them see: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31696page=2 http://maemo.org/community/maemo-developers/re-mapping_the_n900_keyboard-00 1/ http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/developers/55127 http://www.mail-archive.com/maemo-develop...@maemo.org/msg22253.html http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/enlightenment-de...@lists.sourceforge .net/13111286.html http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/x_keyboard_input_focus_on_n900/ http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36952highlight=input+focus My feeling is that while this may have been technically allowed by the spec (I don't know, I haven't read the spec) it definitely is the case that many very long-standing programs are broken by this so it was not a good idea. It is important to adhere to informal accepted practises as well as formal standards. Nokia did this for reasonable engineering reasons. It saves power on mobile devices. And apparently they felt that the majority of users would use apps specifically designed and compiled for the device. But there is a large community of users who use this device as a Linux computer, running standard Linux/Unix apps either ported to run natively in maemo, run in a chroot, or run remotely over X. And it is not reasonable to modify and recompile the huge base of Linux/Unix code to be compatible with the N900. I hope Nokia patches this, at least to make it a user-configurable option. In the short term, I almost have working a workaround, a shell script that runs in the background, detecting when windows get exposed and calling XSetInputFocus() on them. It works but is currently power hungry and specific to emacs. I'm working on making it more power efficient and more general. I'll post it when I'm done.

N900 - Problems with builtin apps
Ok, so I've had my N900 about a week and now I'd like some information on things I've noticed about some of the builtin apps and more to the point how or can I change these. 1. Web URL Bar - It isn't. It is a google search bar. I'd like to turn it back into a regular old URL bar. I like 404 error messages. If I want to search for something on the web I will. If I can't do this then I would like to change the search engine. Currently I've modified the hosts file so that the searches all fail so instead of the 404 I get the nice failed to connect. 2. Email - Modest doesn't have enough delete message options for my liking. In nokia's old email client you could set a setting on Delete messages from server (ask every time). I liked this feature. It is missing in Modest and I simply can't use it without this option. My usage pattern doesn't fit at all. So I'm left with SSH'ing into my home computer and running kmail in an X Window. Works, but I sure would like to use modest. 3. Email Username/Password warning. - In setting up the n900 I was reading the manual or quick start guide and came across a note about how my username's and passwords WOULD not might but would be sent to nokia, however they would never use them for anything. Why is this? 4. Media Player - On my n810 I used panucci only because of one feature, it has the ability to skip forward or backwards 10 seconds or 1 minute. I love this feature. The builtin media player doesn't and it is depressing. I have to sit through podcasts parts that I don't want to hear simply because it is impossible to move the slider 3 minutes or 15 seconds or whatever in any consistant manner. Can this be added, is Panucci ready for the N900. 5. Maps - Don't even get me started. 6. Application List. - On the N810 and below I was able to take all of the nokia apps that I would never use put then in the lowest menu option and forget about them. Not as good as being able to uninstall but It was ok. On the N900 I haven't figured out how to rearrange the app menu. All of the installed apps that I use regularly are on the second page at the bottom and all of the items or apps that I will never use are front and center. It sure would be nice to be able to move these icons around. I'm hoping I've just missed something. 7. Web Addons - What exactly is single sign on for ovi websites and why can't I uninstall it from the browser. Likewise what is the Atlas Plugin? That is all for now, but I will say if atleast some of these are not changable the N900 will be my last nokia device. I've watched this device go from a fun, hobbiest piece of hardware to a entrapment for making money. I'd rather do without.

N900 Questions from a new user
I just received my n900 over the weekend and have been playing around with it. Like most new devices some things are better, some seem worse. I thought I'd ask the group a couple of questions that I have to see if anything can be changed. 1. GPS/Maps seems to suck. First I don't have a phone data plan and I'm not getting one. WiFi for me. So when I turn on GPS I leave the Assisted part off (network) I can not ever get the gps to actually lock. I've left it on for hours without touching it and it never locks. Also when I start up the maps app it asks me for a wifi connection and I get a little downloading data indication. I have to cancel this not once but several times before the app gives up and really thinks I don't want to use data, or maybe it isn't available. So, first what is up with the GPS does it even work without the network connection. Second, it appears that once again nokia has screwed the pooch on the Map app, I would like to know if mapper ala (n810) is going to be available or is already. 2. Camera Flash - When I take a picture using the flash the left half on the picture is always noticeably brighter to the point that the picture looks like crap. I've tried this several different times in different lighting conditions with various results but everytime I can see the problem and it makes the flash unusable. Is something wrong with my unit or is this just how it is. 3. Contact Lookup using keyboard - So you can begin typing a contacts name from any desktop and the contacts app will popup and narrow down your name, works great the first time. However the second time from any desktop nothing will happen. I've figured out that the first time this happens the system opens the contact list but never closes it. It the contact app is open then this feature doesn't work. So I've been having to close the contacts app myself everytime so that this feature works. Is this the intended functionality or a bug.

If Contact list is closed, it reappears. But I have 41-10 so maybe a regression. I tried this again. this time I was able to repeat two lookups without closing. Maybe like you suggested I hadn't selected the first contact or used it. I'll keep playing with it maybe I will come up with a repeatable process. -Vitaly That is all for now.

Re: Looking for gps logger for n810

HTH best regards, ce Ok, I'll just have to keep track manually. thanks again tim Waypoints and track points are not the same thing. Maemo Mapper keeps automatic track logs just fine. Waypoints/POIs can be entered by just tap-holding and in the resulting menu click on Tap Point-Add POI... You can then change/adjust the coordinates if needed or even enter coordinates somewhere else completely. That's an easy way to enter custom POIs for any location you choose. RoadMap works similarly. If you're talking about downloading general POIs for an area, Maemo Mapper does a pretty good job of that as well. First select the types you want in main menu-POI-Categories... Then go to main menu-POI-Download... You can also import POIs from files. If you really mean that you want to record tracks as waypoints rather than track points, that's another story. I don't know of any application at all, even for PC, that will do that. It shouldn't be difficult to convert them, though, especially if you are importing the track logs into some other software.

Ok, so long time nokia user loved my n810 and I refer to the n810 in the past tense because two days ago I dropped it from about 5 feet and bang, screen cracked and it is nice rainbow colors now. So... I pulled out my old N800, flashed, used my n810 backup and I'm up and running but I'm missing the builtin keyboard, I do alot of ssh'ing, remote desktop and the builtin keyboard of the n800 doesn't work for that. So.. I'm thinking of just purchasing another n810 since the wimax out here in portland isn't xohm the wimax version is useless. But I'm wondering if nokia is getting ready to release a new version of the IT. If so I could hang on using my n800 until then. And So... does anyone know what the latest time frame if any is on the next IT device. thanks tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Thank you for the explanation. I wish Nokia or whoever needs to would just make the older email client available to diablo users. Let users pick. This reminds me of Microsoft's problem. They want people to switch to Vista (windows 7) whatever but for alot of people XP will work for quite a while, Microsoft isn't given them a chance to stay with the old. It is all about forcing a revenue stream, although in Nokia's case this isn't true since diablo was a free upgrade, so it is something else with them, but the end result is people are forced to stay behind or go forward with a solution that isn't a nice. I do realize that you can't keep everything working forever on every new platform but Modest is missing some fairly important pieces and doesn't seem geared towards a tablet users. On a side note I've switched to using Panucci for my media player, why because it has nice big buttons, and allows me to move the timeline around with one touch of my finger instead of trying to grab, hold and slide the timeline with the builtin media player.

I think the issue is more LINUX host OS vs Windows and Mac OS X host OS on this one. You generally tend to download to your host machine and then transfer to the player. I'm under the impression that once you have the files downloaded as MP3, you're fine with the N800. Getting the files is the issue. Unless it uses DRM (never used their MP3's as I use aac mpa format myself.) Having a native client on the N800 would be kind of cool though. It does use DRM, so the player needs to be able to undo the DRM. If it where just mp3's it would be fine. I think to strip the DRM you would have to burn to CD and rip back and complete pain. One day hopefully the DRM issue will die and we can once again get back to technology working for users instead of being the cop/judge/jury system that DRM is. tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I'd agree, but I'd want to be able to defeat it as an option and set Delete to mean remove from both always. The chinook email asks the question, so I was fine with that. Modest you can set it in the preferences but that's it. It just doesn't fit the way I use my tablet. 2. Allow multiple accounts to funnel directly into the inbox. I'd want precisely the opposite. Again the default mail app does this and has no way to keep mail from different accounts separate, which i find deeply confusing. But again, the facility should be there, switchable. Then modest will be an improvement for you. It has separate folders or inboxes for each account. I agree in a desktop sized app this is what I want too, but in an on the go device like the tablet I just want all my mail in one spot. Sounds like modest would be an improvement for you.

Hopefully someone can help me. Nokia's phone support wants me to send the unit in and I'm just not going to do that. Here is my problem. Last night I nuked the ability of my n810 to boot. I came in this morning downloaded the windows flasher utility and proceeded to try and reflash the unit. After the wizard sees my unit I click next and it reports that my computers clock is wrong and that it can't continue because it can't authenicate. Huh, besides the fact that I have no idea why it would care I was stuck. so... I tried the linux manual way. I went to my other computer downloaded the flash command utility and proceeded to the get the image page. I entered in my WLAN ID and the page reports that it is not a valid product. Great. So I called nokia to say I'm sadly disappointed with them is an understatement. Not only did the support rep not understand the problem, he kept asking me to do things on the tablet after several times of me telling him the unit would not reach the home screen and was in an endless loop I asked for his supervisor. After 5 minutes he came on and simply told me I had to send the unit in. So I'm asking if anyone can send me or make available the latest or even any version of the diablo firmware so that I can try and flash my unit manually I would really appriecate it. The real problem appears to be with the windows wizard software and the fact that right now we are in the two week period where the US use to change to daylight savings, but now it is not for two weeks. I've tried setting my clock backwards and forwards, etc to no avail. If someone knows that this is a problem with my actual windows pc, maybe there is some weird patch, I don't know but this forum is my last hope. If nobody here can help I will not be purchasing another nokia device and will take a look at android or one of the netbooks running linux. Please help I like my nokia and sending the unit in when in probably two weeks the problem will fix itself is just stupid. Not to mention that nokia support was completely unwilling to help by sending me the flash image or even entertaining the idea that something might be wrong on their end.

Funny, for GNOME Evolution people complain all the time that they cannot have seperate inboxes for several POP accounts. :) People are different that is why any software should be as flexible as possible. In this case having an option to display delete option when deleting locally would do the trick, that way people who didn't want to answer the question everytime could opt out, I and others could opt in. 3.

Can I make a folder and use filters or some sort of client side script to just move them all into once folder? Well I think it depends a lot in how you use email, I for example prefer to have different inboxes because I do not manage my work email the same way as my personal email. I like dumping all my emails into one folder on the n810 because on the mobile device I just simply go through the emails one at a time and act on them. I do mix in personal and work emails but that doesn't bother me as I can just skip any messages I don't want to deal with at the moment, to me that is easier than the whole switching account, folder option. In fact I usually have the folders hidden for enable larger screen restate. 3. The email notification doesn't work reliably on my unit.

I think that something wrong happens to your device because there are no users that reported that problem before neither on bugzilla nor asking we the developers directly. So there you have it, maybe small issues for others but you might as well have removed one of my legs and asked me if I noticed whether it was now harder to walk. As you say maybe for you are big issues, anyway you're free to switch to another one, we'll keep on improving Modest. Br Well I would switch if there was something better. As frustrating as these issues are I don't like claws better. I even played around with ssh'ing into my home machine and running my home email over X, it is just too slow that way. If comcast would become a real ISP and give me some upload side it would probably work fine, then I wouldn't have a need for any email client on the n810 tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

The truth is that I have more precise control, with much less fussing and finagling, with POP3 than with IMAP. As a matter of fact, most of the assertions about IMAP's supposed advantages over POP3 are patently untrue. The truth is that IMAP has some limitations of its own (ironically due to its online server-oriented nature) that don't exist at all with POP3, and while IMAP may be better for some, POP3 is far better for others. It's the difference between Windows and Linux: IMAP is Windows, bloated and trying to be all things to all people, whereas POP is Linux, with the power to do *exactly* what you want it to do and do it a lot more efficiently, you just have to know how to get it done. This is one area where I have to disagree. Having used POP and IMAP, there's no way I'd use POP when I have a choice. I read my personal email on a variety of computers, including one at work. With IMAP, my mail is consistent on all computers. I don't have to remember to download a message to a computer, before it disappear from a POP server. I don't have to remember what computer I sent a message from, when searching my sent messages. No matter which computer I use, all the messages are there and when I delete from one, I delete from all, since the mail is stored in a common location. However, the above does not excuse the problems of with the mail program or the arrogance of some. My problem with imap is I don't want to leave any email on a server or machine that isn't mine. I have a couple of reasons for this the highlights are as follows. 1. Nobody but me knows if I have even read the email. They can see I've downloaded it and when but that doesn't mean I have read it. 2. Government Subpena's - They would have to come to me unless the isp is keeping deleted emails for a long time, which they might be 3. Tracking. using IMAP, Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, the service can not only tell when you opened, but how many times you've opened it, whether you replied, who you replied too, etc, etc, etc. No thanks, my email is my business and where I send them, file them and how I respond to them is my business. tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Also, anything that exists on a server not under your direct control can be accessed by others without your knowledge or consent. On the other hand, if your messages are only on the server for a short time and you keep your stuff offline, you will at least know if somebody wants it because they will either leave a trail or will have to subpoena *you*, not somebody else.

Re: How do i uninstall the default Email program?
Hey I tried modest and how do I voice my opinion on the delete function. One of the things I like about the builtin email client is I get the option every time I delete whether or not to delete off of the server. I use my home desktop as my forever tank. Most emails I just receive on the n810 first, delete and never care about. However for a few I like to receive them on the N810, delete from the N810 only and then archive onto the desktop the next time I download emails to that machine. I don't see a way to do this easily with modest. I know there is the setting in the account but then I would be constantly changing it back and forth and you don't also get any indication when you are going to delete which way the setting is. Any hope the modest guys will change the delete prompt to be like the builtin nokia email app, or atleast give me a setting as to whether I want the option at delete time. tim On 03/13/2008 06:18, tanguyr wrote: OK, if i can't get rid of the Email and Media player apps, is it possible to get rid of the icons from the apps menu (out of sight... out of mind)?

I first have think that the N810 only have a right speaker playing the right channel only. But after several tests I cam to the conclusion that the N810 have also a left integrated speaker playing the left channel, but with a very poor sound, especially at low frequency. I used this page to get some sound test files: http://users.swing.be/hdepra/home/P22/E-sounds.html On my N810 the right sweep test http://users.skynet.be/fa046054/home/P22/track26.mp3 sound fine. The sound is loud and clear even in the first second of the track when low frequency are played. But the left sweep test http://users.skynet.be/fa046054/home/P22/track24.mp3 sound disappointing in the first 20 seconds. Almost nothing are audible in the first second of the track when low frequency are played. After about 20 seconds, the sound is more comfortable but I still get the feeling that it is not as loud as in the right test. Finally when playing the drum solo stereo test http://users.skynet.be/fa046054/home/P22/track39.mp3 I almost not here the left channel, only crappy noise when the drum sound should can from the left channel. So I wonder if my N810 have a fault in his speaker left channel, if this is a design problem, or if this can be a software problem (error in a DSP code ?). Can someone try to test his N810 using the above URLs and share his experience ? Only the integrated speaker is to test, the line out jack sound very good.

I'd recommend against it. Normally I would agree with this statement, but I'm not sure if I would in this case. Based on previous mailing list posts, it seems the N800 essentially connects the charger port directly to the battery. Charging is basically controlled using pulse-width modulation--that is, the port is switched on and off with the percent on time and percent off time varied depending on amount of charge. This necessitates a current limited supply, as nothing is done to limit current in the device--equivalent resistance is equivalent to the battery internal resistance, which is going to be very small. Because the proposed power charger is of lower current, you're correct that the N800 won't be damaged by it. The battery will surely charge slower, but there shouldn't be any damage. I would be surprised to see any damage to the charger as well, though. It's true, the charger will be running at 100% current draw for much of the charge cycle, but this is true for any battery charger supply, and is definitely true for the charger built for the N800 for the reasons explained above. It is possible that a PSU has inadequate cooling to hold it's max rated current draw indefinitely, but I find that highly unlikely for the charger built for the N800--and one would assume Nokia probably uses the same technique in their mobile phones, so I'd expect that to be unlikely of any Nokia charger. If you can find a charger that provides greater than the amount of current required, it would be fine. No, this could be worse. Once the current is too high, the PWM will not be able to react fast enough and damage could occur. Generally, you're thought is a good rule of thumb, but not based on how this device is constructed. Ideally, an equivalent charger to the N800 would be best, but a lower current equal voltage supply should also be adequate. An unscientific test would be to charge your phone and your N800 both from a dead battery. If the charger gets noticeably hotter charging the N800, you probably don't want to do that again.

(batt indicator shows full) - about ten hours later, I pulled the cover off, and it did not come on - To restore the device, I have to take out the battery for a minute or so, replace it, plug in the device, and press the power button. - when the tablet comes back on, it is fully or 3/4 charged Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas? thanks, K I noticed a similiar problem using the audio player on my n770. If I put the cover on while the audio was playing the unit would immediately crash to where I needed to take the battery out, etc. I don't remember this happening with just the web browser and wifi connected but maybe something similiar is happening. tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: [maemo-users] Podcasts on n800

Thanks, Sergey I believe you can just use the builtin RSS reader? Although this is a manual process. Personally I let my home machine run podcatcher every three hours, then in the mornings I plug in the N800 copy the files onto it and hit the day. I've even written a script that uses scp and dbclient to login via ssh to my home machine and first download the received casts then delete them off of my home machine. Works slick except for the slow upload speed of my cable modem 384k, especially when my two children are playing online games. tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

The 'external' (i.e. not behind the battery) card is automatically unmounted when the exterior door holding it in is opened. Jonathan Wow! I just tried this and what a cool feature. It's features like this that make me wonder why others in the software/hardware business can't figure this stuff out.

Re: [maemo-users] gpesyncd
Thank you very much. Over the next couple of days I will check all of this out and report back. tim On 01/22/2007 05:24, Graham Cobb wrote: On Sunday 21 January 2007 12:29, Tim Ashman wrote: I'm struggling with getting my palm addressbook into my n800. I've exported the palm address book into one file of vcards. I'm looking for a way to import all of them into GPE, however GPE only seems to support import one at a time, not a good choice when I have over 500 or so. You are probably best posting this to the GPE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see http://linuxtogo.org/mailman/listinfo/gpe-list ). You are right that there should be an easy way to do this, particularly for a one-time import (for ongoing synchronisation Opensync is the right answer, see below). 1. When I install libgpevtype-0.17 gpesyncd will work but then the contacts app will not start anymore. I then have to uninstall libgpevtype after uninstalling contacts and calendars. You need to have the correct version of gpesyncd for the version of gpe-calendar and gpe-contacts: some major changes happened to the database format and also to the library usage. The versions in SVN are consistent but unfortunately, as the necessary packages are spread across two repositories it is hard to be sure that they are correctly synchronised. 2. With gpesyncd installed I can get the command options to work however I'm at a lost as to how to correctly use them. I haven't been able to find any documentation. There is always the code! :-) If you plan to use it locally (for example, from a script), invoke gpesyncd with no command line options. The useful commands are then uidlist vcard (which lists the ids of all currently loaded cards), get vcard id and add vcard BEGIN:VCARD. Note that in the add command the BEGIN:VCARD must follow on the same line and gpesyncd will read more lines until it finds the matching END:VCARD. gpesyncd will only load one VCARD with each ADD command. If you have multiple cards to load you need to split them into separate commands (just insert add vcard before each BEGIN:VCARD). If gpesyncd reports errors loading any of your vcards I would be interested to hear -- preferably by entering a report in the GPE bugzilla http://bugs.linuxtogo.org/ So doesn't anyone have a process laid out for importing multiple vcards into the GPE apps. Actually I would use Opensync. The GPE plug-in knows how to work with gpesyncd. You can even run Opensync locally on the N800 (actually, I have only tested on the 770) if you want. I mentioned the 770 port of Opensync on the mailing list last week but the message was lost in the mailing list problems. Here is an extract from that message: I have ported Opensync to the 770 (see http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31244769forum_id=44 498 for the announcement on the opensync-devel list). It needs more work but I have the framework, GPE, file and syncml plugins working (syncml works with bluetooth but not tested with USB). I have not (yet) ported the EDS or Google Calendar plugins. Note that I was unable to get the python support to build but I will try it again with the recently announced Python 2.5 when I get a chance. If anyone else wants to work either on more plugins or on re-instating the python support please let me know. I am currently working on a problem getting a full sync (of my 600 or more items) between GPE and my Nokia 6230i phone working on the 770. I can do smaller syncs but I am concentrating on getting this full-scale sync working before going back to porting more of opensync.

But when I am about to leave connectivity, I'll grab all the mail with the built-in, and that works pretty well, actually. Especially since I have cleared out a bunch of mail using the other method. Now, I know pine has been ported, (mutt, as well?) but has anyone gotten offline-imap to work? It seems like that would be a pretty sweet combination.

Re: [maemo-users] Open source Java
I disagree, my cell phone runs java ME, I think the 770 should be able to run some version of it.

A question for the web browser developers. Now that Sun has open sourced Java, how long will it be before we see it included in the 770's browser? Sus has *not* yet open sourced Java, they announced to release the first open source code in March 2007, IIRC. So only at that moment, looking at the real code, people can see how difficult it is to port it and start estimating how long that will take. Seeing how killing (in the negative sense) Java is on old computers with little memory, I doubt whether it's feasible to use it on the 770, but we'll see... ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
[maemo-users] Backup/Restore
I'm hoping someone can explain why the zip files that are created using the 770's builtin backup utility don't appear to contain anything. When I hook the 770 up to my linux box and browse the zip files they show blank. Are they doing something trick? Can I install a utility that can read these on my desktop? What I'd like to do is have the confidence that I can copy these backup folders/files onto my linux desktop and have them there for save keeping. Any help is appreciated.
