Re: Fixing USB port, before and after it is to late. (All info in one Thread) (See POST #1)

Removing the shielding only took 10 mins more patience but revealed pristine chips underneath.

Using the USB cable on the port (for ease of probing), only resistances of 140k and 160kOhms were...

Re: Fixing USB port, before and after it is to late. (All info in one Thread) (See POST #1)

Entirely the fault of the lead-free solder. I ordered some lead rosin-cored solder from eBay and it flowed from the bubble within a second.

Unfortunately, N900 is now dead. I'd previously used a...

Re: Fixing USB port, before and after it is to late. (All info in one Thread) (See POST #1)

I cannot get solder to stick to the PCB. I've scraped off a 2mm strip, heated it, added flux with pen, reheated, added rosin solder (lead-free) and it won't stick. It will occasionally form...

Re: Is it worth buying a Nokia N900 right now?

As ever, depends what price you can get it for.

It's not as good as Note 3, but it'll be < 20% of the price.
Likewise Jolla's phone.
If that Neo900 is out, that will be better as only having...

Re: N900 no longer finds phone networks

Turns out odd bits of what I thought were plastic when putting my N900 back together are aerials.

Re: Cheap (chinese) external BL-5J (and other models) battery charger: reverse engineering

That's pretty bad advice.

Whilst there are official batteries, they use out of date technology and better ones are available.

There are no official chargers that I can see. Paying more for a...

Re: Recommended browser for N900?

Still using Opera 12 b16 which is fast, compact and fully implements HTML 5. It's got some serious bugs though and doesn't support Flash.

Re: [Announce] Opera Mobile 11

Opera Software have moved on. There was never a 13.x or 14.x build. After 12.16, they abandoned the nice compact Presto engine and started using Chrome's Blink engine. It has some nice features...

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900

I'd have to disagree. The N900 case is good, but if better cases are more available and could have:

1. 4 row bezel-less keyboard.
2. CBD-type anti-reflect display
3. Higher capacity, cheap...

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9

As well as development costs, Jolla would have to charge for Sailfish because of the licensed components.

But the Nemo team apparently has the rights to distribute them for free (MeeGo legacy).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900

At some point, screen started going blank on incoming calls. The only way to bring back the dialogs and answer the calls is to use the side slider.

What could be causing this?
