Email app slow

It seems that loading anything in the in-built email app takes about 2-3 seconds. For example, after I've opened the email app, I touch 'Nokia Messaging', which stays highlighted for 2-3 seconds,...

Re: what do you guys have against apple?

I'm not quite so fixated on the idea that Apple is bad that I've ever felt the need to put together a dossier on their bad behaviour. BUT...

My instinct tells me Apple has a rotten core. It's told...

Re: Leaked HTC Vision or T-mobile G2 or HTC Desire z

Is the keyboard flush with the screen? I like a lot (or maybe this setup is common and I don't know about it).

Re: Nokia has exciting news for N900 users

Does anyone know where the images from lowlight get saved? (Or how to save them?) Following the help page, I make sure the image I want to save has a red border, I hit close ... but nothing happens...

Re: Port an application written in Java Script

What attila77 has suggested is your best bet, particularly if it's either pure html/javascript/etc. or the back-end is hosted on a public website and your intended users will always have internet...

Re: Speed up the blue key long press?

Speed up the blue key long press?

Hi,

The ability to long press to get the blue key character is really nice, but does anyone know how to shorten the delay? I've tried taking a look through /etc and gconf settings, but can't seem...

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive?

I actually agree with a fair bit of what you say, but not this. The web has to evolve in a way that builds on and preserves what has come before. That is why we can still open up the very first web...

Re: Next MeeGo device?

Re: Why the stylus isn’t dead

I don't play many games these days, but of the few I've played on the N900 that make use of the touch screen, I've found the stylus *much* better than using my finger because I can actually see the...

Re: Will Maemo5 ever have search capability in email/calendar?

@oneFinn: No, you're right. Search is absolutely critical. Email/calendar without search is like the early operating systems that had no hierarchical file systems. You just can't use them for real...

Re: Mypaint-0.7.1 for Fremantle

@abemelek: I had the same problem, and after running from console, found it was complaining about python-osso. So installed that, and now it works great.

Re: N900 Nokia Messaging settings - where are they?

Does anyone know how to change the 'From' address in Nokia Messaging? I forward my real email addy to gmail, and want that address to show up in emails I write, not the gmail one.

Re: MicroB easter egg?

I'd assumed it was because they hadn't fully tested it or done UI optimisation, etc. I wasn't expecting there'd be no controls at all. :) (Even crappy squished controls would have been useful.)

Re: MicroB easter egg?

So it works, but I have no controls in portrait mode. (I don't even have a back button or a way to pull up the address bar without switching back to landscape.) Is that what everyone else has? Are...

Re: Nokia Web Runtime developer questions

Re: Nokia Web Runtime developer questions

Partly, thanks. I should probably read up a bit more on the WRT internals at some point, but I'm expecting that there will be some kind of javascript API to access Qt- or device-specific functions. I...

Re: Nokia Web Runtime developer questions
