Instead putting it onto the mods, why don't you/colleagues put relevant content into a locked gdoc.

s/gdoc/wiki page/
pretty please.

Somewhat on topic: The N900's GPS can be annoyingly slow getting a fix, even with A-GPS. Does anyone have any experience with the suggested replacement?

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

Yeah, there's always that too.

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

Joerg,

i hope you are not going to consider it an insult that i explain what & how i "don't understand"?

• semantics, 1st...
  see where i'm getting with this?
  • yes, Sebastian used a list in his post but... you blame me for snipping out quotes & seeing just what i want; maybe Sebastian could have "updated" his?
    no offence, but i don't give a $h!t about GTA... :mad:
  • i know you are not a "sales guy"; you are a passionate techie that wants to make a replacement for our beloved N900s available to the Maemo community
    still, maybe you should try to structure your posts a little bit better? an awful lot of the nearly 700 post on this thread are about miscommunication; very quickly the word "insult" is used if someone dares to ask leave alone question; you used the word in 1 of your replies to me as well, a few posts ago...
    and i have only been on it a little over 24hrs :o
    accusing ppl of being insulting will make even the humblest poster on a forum... irritated? calling them trolls after that and... there goes your flame war :confused:
  • so much for the semantics...
• eBay, BOM? for me, eBay is the last resort when you can't get a part any more; OEM at best, used otherwise. but eBay a supplier for an "industrial" manufacturing process... not obvious, to say the least.
  my impression was that we had to either use an old N900 casing or get one from eBay ourself
  add to that Sebastian's list (10'000...) and... yet another "insult" :(

? :confused:

• out of the (NOKIA) box, the N900 comes at 600Mhz
  let's be honest, many here run their N900(s) at 850MHz or even higher - 1GHz? maybe we should make a poll asking what max frequency they set theirs to? :rolleyes: ;)
  might help you choose a proper... "upgrade"?
• i only used it little over a day so far, but with CSSU Thumb2, the 256MB seem to be sufficient for casual use - okay, i only had 8 windows in the task mgr. with two (or three?) for microb and it started to swap seriously; but honestly, how often do you spend hrs browsing on your N900? in a squeeze, to get some information on the spot more like, no?

thus, my point, reformulated:

• is 1GHz enough? i have a N9 but i'd say Harmattan got a serious "mobile" overhaul - if you are sticking w/ Fremantle, maybe a little more might be needed? dual core, maybe :eek: :cool:
• those who have (played with) a 512MB N950 generally agree that it is tight, to say the least... but in all honesty you mentioned the possibility of 1GB RAM.

see my "lists" above, but remember, nobody is perfect.
no offence intended!
'nuff said

and no, i'm not going to bother starting my own "N900 hardware upgrade" project.
i'll keep using my N900 with Thumb2...
thus if that's all you have to answer, pls don't bother :|

PS: the moment i find your ṔayPal account i'll send over some money :o :)
obviously, without your dedication i wouldn't have been able to set up Thumb2 & all
thanks for that!

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

market, 2 to 300 TMO (& GTA whatever) users?
that's not a market.
not even a niche.
that's a community
well, two, joining forces as Joerg put it so nicely
period

do you have a N9? if it wasn't for the lack of hardware keyboard, i would have switched about a year ago.
and it's not like i haven't tried both a Logitech di Novo & some OEM bluetooth keyboard; doesn't work :mad:

and i think Jolla is going to give us a great N9 upgrade, software and hardware wise.

but to each his / her own, right?

why am i posting on this thread then?
trolling, flaming? of course! what else would one come to TMO for???? ¦-))))))
beside, i haven't seen Jolla's hardware keyboard other half yet, thus, keeping all my options open

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

there you go... :eek: :( :mad:

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

again...

see my earlier post...

not selling the individual parts, motherboard (maybe w/ CPU & RAM) here, LCD & Co. there, casing from eBay...
seems i'm not the only one having a problem with your semantics

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

came across this thread yesterday and the only thing i have been able to figure out about MeR & Co... is that it is not for end-users :eek: :( :confused:

many of the ppl @ Jolla actually developed Fremantle; possibly even "created" it... give them a (2nd) chance, maybe?

wild guess?
nope
Google [libhybris jolla]...
o, no, sorry, you don't use Google, do you?

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

a good, clearly structured and complete initial post would certainly help (much more then 600+ posts mostly of flaming :mad:)

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

but this is NOT a democracy!!!
it's a meritocracy ¦-)))))))))
you have to vote!
geeee, where is our Gorbatchov?!?

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

What the hell, man? Six seven posts in a row? Please, at least merge them somehow!

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

structure & update your initial post & most of the "bloat" (redundant questions) is gone
your are blaming the symptom, not the cause my friend.

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

misterc,

you seem to have a very strong opnion but my undestanding is joerg is _THE_ person organising this project, and as he stated eary in this thread it will not be a "democratic" process

you are free to post suggestions and he is free to decline them
please respect his decisions as they are his to make

thank you, chainsawbike

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

did you replace supl.nokia.com with supl.google.com in Settings => Connectivity => Location?

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

did you actually read any of them or just counted them?
i'll add yet another one (sorry, stopped counting...)

nothing personal...

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

This doesn't address the point you're supposedly addressing, at all...

Ditto, but to humour you, I'm not saying it won't be substantively open, I hope it will be, but we simply don't know yet.
They've made many statements of intent on "roughly" how open they'd like it to be, but statements of intent are just that, statements of intent.

No you're wrong (surprise, surprise), android app compatibility layer != dvr layer, not even close.
There's been some speculation that libhybris may be used to some extent for a dalvik emulation layer, but so far it's no more than that.
You are confusing hw compatibility layers with dalvik emulation layers...
Again, libhybris was originally intended for glibc <-> bionic-c translation for binary blobs & similar level sw, nothing more & nothing less.

And what is wrong with you man, why must you "scatter gun" threads like this all the time.
If you really must redundantly address every single post, at least merge them all into one post, basic etiquette.
Anyway all this is completely off-topic, so any further responses just PM me...

Re: Neo900 - finally a successor of N900
 

Well, there's nothing to update there, as there's no such list for Neo900 made yet. And I've stated very clearly that this list was about GTA04, which is very similar, and that it is meant to just give some basic insight into how things may look like, as in "better something than nothing".

Re: Off-topic...
 

512MB is hugely overpowered for a home LAN firewall.
Heck, it is hugely overpowered for a Pentium® based box to start with.
