Re: So....anybody else still on PR1.2 besides I?

I've still got an automation controller in use for a project that runs DOS 6.0 -- tried to rewrite the application for Linux, and it just doesn't run as well...

Re: So....anybody else still on PR1.2 besides I?

Me too.. I haven't upgraded yet-- haven't had time, and my n900 actually seems rock solid. I'm pushing upwards of 60 days uptime!

I almost wonder if I should consider making a PCB with some pogo pins on it to connect to the USB and charging pins for the people with broken USB ports...

Re: Mobile hotspot make my mobile into brick

It looks like according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Physical_appearance) the ID pin can be left unconnected. The only use for that would be for USB OTG.. I wonder...

Re: Mobile hotspot make my mobile into brick

Well, I suppose if you've already soldered down the power connections, you could always go back and resolder the D+ and D- connections too on the USB port.

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

Quick suggestion: if you use this solution, you'll need to issue "umount /mnt/nfsu" before you are able to use USB mass storage option.

Re: help! for some reason, the folders in my n900 became lnk.

Unfortunately, even after you scanned and healed your PC, the virus still has done damage to your n900's data partition.
