Re: Bluetooth oddities

I suspect the former complaint was a bug that was fixed in the final release of OS2008. At least, I don't have that problem. Does it happen on every site you visit?

Regarding the onscreen...

Bluetooth keyboard oddities

I've used my Stowaway bluetooth keyboard with my N800 ever since I first got it back in March. Now I'm running OS2008, and it seems to be doing something distinctly odd.

For starters, it seems...

Re: Any U.S. T-Mobile users?

Yep, I set it up during the initial-boot wizard, where it asks you to first pair a phone, then choose a plan. No issues at all.

Re: Any U.S. T-Mobile users?

I regularly connect through a Nokia E70 over Bluetooth, using my T-Mobile connection. It's not very fast, but it's Internet access anywhere.

Re: Will my Helio Ocean be compatible with the N800

I seem to recal, froml when I borrowed someone's Ocean to look at, noticing that it supported neither DUN nor PAN. I don't think you'll be able to connect to the Internet through your Ocean using...

Re: Sandby Mode on a N800

To unlock it, press the power button, then release the power button, then press the middle-joystick button, then release the middle-joystick button.

I usually prefer to enable "Soft poweroff" mode...

Re: scummvm 0.10

The game Goblins Quest 3 has what I suspect is a copy-protection screen at the beginning, where you must choose one of a selection of numbers before proceeding. In most copies, any number will do,...

Re: USB Host enabled can read but can't write to external storage

I can think of a number of things that could be causing this. The first obvious one is that the media is write-protected. Some external hard drives have write protection switches :)

Re: Status of Skype?

My apologies, rickh. You are indeed correct. I really should learn more geography of my neighbors: I live next door in California.

Re: Interested in N800 to PC video calls?

I was under the impression that this was already working, provided you used a client that supports Jingle-Video. Kopete and Gossip are two clients that ought to support video calls, but the former...

Re: Is everybody dumber than me?

I'd love to program for the N800, but there are two reasons why I currently don't:


I don't know GTK (yet)
I don't / won't have a development system


I don't have a computer at home, and...

Re: Somebody please help... This is my last hope

Try setting your clock back by an hour.

Time on Windows is really screwy. Especially with Daylight Saving Time. If that doesn't work, let us know what time zone you're in.

Re: modifying the config of kernel in N800

I'd recommend using "make menuconfig". You'll have to modify one of the files to get it to work, as it won't properly link in ncurses. Do a Google search for N800 menuconfig, and I believe the...

Re: Anyone able to stream NPR?

Another option is to just grab the Podcasts from the NPR main site. Their "subscribe" pages have links that allow you to directly download the latest episode.

Re: Updating software via Mac OS X

I've also re-flashed my N800 twice using the flasher-2.0.macosx application (from [1]). I may or may not have needed to run it as root, I can't remember. But it certainly does work.

Re: lots of questions regarding n800

I usually use the SSH method to gain root. Install dropbear-server, ssh to root@localhost, then put in the password (default "rootme"?). Set up sudo, then log out and remove dropbear-server.
