Re: Modrana problem

I've been using modrana on the the N900 for close to 18 months now with little problem. The developer (MartinK) is still quite active on TMO and is happy to help with problems and fixes if something turns out to be broken. I'd suggest you check out his thread there.

I found quite the opposite. My battery life went from ~16 hours to ~26 hours when 3.2010.02 hit. It was the one noticeable change on the device from the update. :) And yes, I have a very similar setup. It's on wifi at home and work, and on 2.5G when not on Wifi. I have the IM plugin

If you hit the default OVI maps area the app to store maps on the N900 is there. I've used it to throw the maps on my system, and it works just fine. There are two cavets though: 1 The maps are stored on the internal flash, not the memory card. 2 You must connect your device via USB in Media

This is a bug in OVI maps. I think the link has already been given. The problem is that OVI opens the device to get a lock, but then gives up and closes it just before it can get a lock. It cycles doing this every few minutes, but unless you have an alternate signal, it's not enough time for

The error is due to the fact that the N900 doesn't have a divided menu area like the 700 and 800 series did. Their application menu was divided up into functional sub-menus, similar to what Catorise does for the N900. The app it's trying to run would place the desktop icon in the proper

Just one thought on this: Most people are going to do playback on the device. I would focus on the best codec available for recording and playback on the N900. If people want to use it some other place, maybe making an export function (for Wav or MP3 or whatever) would suffice. Worst case,

I know the legality of recording calls varies greatly in many countries. In the US where I live it varies from state to state not only if you may record calls, but if those recordings may be published or used for legal purposes in a court of law. In general in the US you need to be a known
