Re: The Grand Nitdroid Thread - NITDroid Gone CE --> 2.3.7 Released [EXPERIMENTAL]

For anyone wondering about 2.3.7 - it's a tad on the buggy side, it randomly crashes / reboots and is visibly less responsive. In 2.3.4 flicking between desktops was very smooth, as was scrolling...

Re: n900 swimming: now dead!

You should do a little research before you jump to gut instinct conclusions. An N900 in water for a few days could very well survive, in fact it probably would so long as the battery was removed and...

Re: n900 swimming: now dead!

It's always unfortunate when people recommend putting electronics in rice, rice is dusty and makes for a rather poor desiccating agent. It wont dry out your N900 any quicker than if you just put it...

Re: Very Bad and Strange Touch screen problem.

With 100% certainty this issue IS the screen protector. It's not 'worth a try' - the correct response is "Just remove it already and get a new one"

There are several threads that describe these...

Re: Nokia N900's Flash 9.4 announcement... and why it bothers me.

Re: Black Dots on Screen

Dust? It's pretty difficult to keep that stuff out once you expose the LCD.

Also depending upon how much you stripped down the N900 and handled the parts, you may well have damaged the screen too...

Re: Will N900 accelerometer problem get solved by Nitdroid

No, android or maemo or meego or whatever will not solve a hardware issue, and given all the things you've tried, a hardware issue is what you have.

Take it to Nokia.

Re: Is it possible to get Cell-id and LAC from SMS or voice call?
