Re: [TUTORIAL MEGA NOOBY-IEST UPDATE] Instructions Updated! Nitdroid 0.0.9 a.k.a xMasDroid in the hood!

I got NITdroid working with little problems. I only have a small question regarding battery life. I noticed that NITdroid gives consistently higher battery levels than Maemo. I could be with ~60%...

Re: Bring up Camera Megapixel

The screen resolution on your iPhone is 480x320 (960x640 on iPhone 4), so even a 2MP image is downscaled when displayed on the screen. Downscaling means that only one in X pixels is displayed,...

Re: Bring up Camera Megapixel

Sorry dude, you can't make new pixels from nothing. If the sensor has 5MP, the best you can do is interpolate from them and try to make it not look like crap. It's quite pointless IMHO. You only...

Re: GPS does not work anymore :(

I also had my GPS stuck on searching, changed back to supl.nokia.com and it works. Something changed in the Google location server perhaps?

Re: Maemo Mapper Routes no longer available

The latest version of Mappero (beta11) in Extras-Testing should solve this. It now gets directions straight from Google.

Re: iphone4 vs N900

Yeah, it's kind of a pointless argument. Those are really different devices and are difficult to compare directly. Still, if he says "customizability", you can remind him that this is the first...

Re: iPhone 4 - Loses Reception When You Touch the Side (Who says Apple products are "Better Quality"?)

Well, Apple's reply pretty much confirms this is a hardware design flaw. It also indicates, to me, that this is and was a known issue to them, which they conveniently failed to mention. I don't get...

Re: iPhone 4 - Loses Reception When You Touch the Side (Who says Apple products are "Better Quality"?)

The communication is all digital. Having lower bars doesn't mean you immediately sense degradation in the quality. Eventually it will start "dropping bits" and lagging and crackling. There is a video...

Re: iPhone 4 - Loses Reception When You Touch the Side (Who says Apple products are "Better Quality"?)

This isn't surprising. Any antenna doesn't like foreign conductors. I can get my N900 to lose bars if I really cup it in the area of the GSM antenna. Honestly, I just tried it. If you cup an iPhone...

Well, there are design flaws, and there are design flaws.
I imagine something like a loose USB connector can be addressed in future manufacturing runs. Its effect is not pretty at all, but actually...

Re: Personal Data Plan Monitor not updating on PR1.2

There's a working version now in extras-testing. It updates correctly and can either toggle between home and roaming or combine them together.

Re: Portrait mode on the N900 coming in PR1.2 (plus email and conversations)

Re: Geotagging in camera??

Yeah, but I think it still saves the GPS coordinates with the photo, so if you upload it to, say, Picasa, you will be able to see the location on a map.

By the way, I found that the Picasa sharing...

USB host would be such a killer feature on the N900, shame Nokia didn't include it... Think of the possibilities:

- Copy files from...
