switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

Hi,

For some reasons my n9 crashed, so I had to use my other jolla1 phone t until I fix my n9 (corrupt fs is now fixed) ...

Now, I am about to travel aboard .. and I havent found a better offline map for jolla so I'll probably take both ...

This make me think that n9 still have some good features that others cant beat , let's try to list them and eventually propose alternative solutions if there are any ...

I start with :

- bootloader / multi boot : (nitdroid, mer...)
- open linux kernel
- linux tun/tap : (you know why)
- SIP support : (as platform's service)
- nokia map (download offline maps)
- nokia drive offline turn by turn

And the hardware side :

- nice screen (works fine outdoor)
- nice camera (far better than tizen z1 or nokia x)
- nfc ? (I dont really use them, do you ?)

Features I like with alternatives

- call recorder app

jolla: https://together.jolla.com/question/...recording-app/


- profilematic

So why do you still carry n9 with you as a backup phone ?

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

Well, if you have nothing against using android applications, you can use a lot of offline maps in Jolla.
Situations and call recorder are also in Jolla.

Because my main phone is a N900!

In fact my holds is my backup and the N9 is still my main phone

Holds = Jolla

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

I use it as backup exactly for the things you listed + the taggable musicplayer where I just tap favourites after start - I was also forced to Jolla1 as I have a pre-production N9 with a dodgy modem (at least with the sim I currently have)

Me too! N9 still the best, just look at MeeGo Harmattan UI...and we understand immediately there's no better!

Agree! But I just found out that nemo with glacier on N9 could be better than harmattan and sailfish. 

I use my black/64G as a server @home... It' gathering dust on a shelf but powered on and hanging off my wlan, accessible all the time.

Any details? Demo video?

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

There's more, but here are these:
Unveiling Glacier
youtube video nemo glacier
there is also irc chanel on freenode #nemomobile
and here youu can check its history:

Hi.

Let me guess:
Are you using it as a DLNA multimedia server? This makes sense to me :)

Regards.

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

I have actually been wondering this as well. I have two N9 and been wondering if it would be possible to use it to play through DLNA content to my TV easily. Are movies supported how well?

Have used DLNA for pictures and video clips but never for this for somereason.

What applications do we have that could still be used for this? And werent there some Torrent client for N9 as well. Just for legal stuff, of course :D

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

I kept my N9 when I got my Jolla, for backup, and for AGTL (Advanced Geocaching Tool for Linux). But now it should be somewhere there, and I don't really use it any more.

If anyone wants, and if I can find it, I could send it from Holland for a small price. Screen is OK, case is dented on some of the corners.
(Also an N900: see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...83#post1471483)

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

The N9 (black 64GB) is still my main phone, holding battery for a long time. The phone still rocks.

I use it regularly for car-motorbike-navigation worldwide (except Japan), dash-cam replacement, photo, music, twitter, web browsing (I have opera, firefox and webkit installed)

I'm missing a good OSM client. CloudGPS isn't available anymore as they switched off the nokia store and I haven't managed to get it from the opera app store

Ah, and fenix, the email app is nearly unusable as it crashes upon changing the folder once you have more than 50 different imap folders. A port of K9 would be really great, also for the jolla.

I take the occasion to thank all of you for creating this new warehouse environment which works great and saved so many people. Kudos!!

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

Nokia HERE maps worked fine for me on my Jolla though the Android UI isn't as nice as the N9 UI. There's some bizarre teeny-tiny touch targets... but that seems to be common in Android app design.

I haven't used my N9 for quite some time now so if anyone wants a black 64GB N9, PM me an offer.

I'm not sure if It's a good idea to factory reset it. Will that kill all the apps on there irretrievably? I'd have to wipe the personal data but would hate to lose the apps for whoever buys it.

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

What's wrong with Japan maps ? Is it the same like the GPS fuzzing in China ,

IIRC N9 maps worked correctly in shanghai last year at least...

I am still using N9 as main phone but tried others OS : tizen, sailfish, bb10 and sailfishOS, symbian^3 and android ...

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

Cause im using android one right now , reasonable price & feature, low-end device, just for bbm and some games

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

I still use it for :

- native sip support
- native skype support
- multitask and app switching
- sound/vibration of the keyboard... Just magic feeling

what miss :

- a good web browser

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

I tend to use native browser and when blocked I try Opera ...

Now I am about to carry a android's NokiaX with me and keep n9 as camera

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

But Jollas OOM kills them before I reach the destination. :p

Re: switched to an other phone, but keeping n9 for ..
 

And what apps are you still using on n9 / n950 ?

Are they on this list ?
