Re: my n900 zapped me!

Your body was electrostatically charged. When you plugged the cable in to your TV, it provided a path for your body to discharge through.

Re: [HOWTO] Freeing up rootfs space

Re: [HOWTO] Freeing up rootfs space

That's not too bad.


Some of the packages exist only to pull in other packages, and don't install any files (such as python-all), so there is nothing to optify. In some cases, it's just not...

Re: Phone Randomly Launches

Within the top drop-down menu in the phone app, select turning control. What is the state of "Launch by turning"? From this screen you should also be able to toggle forced portrait mode.

Re: n900 can not run 2 connection? wifi and 3G?

There are probably a number of reasons this was not supported in Maemo - power savings, simplicity, and reliability come to mind. Power savings is obvious, without an active cellular data connection...

Re: Power saving on/off ?

@Andre: I don't think this is a case of wanting to disable the 802.11 radio, but rather temporarily changing the power management setting to increase 802.11 performance.

Re: [HOWTO] Freeing up rootfs space

@romanianusa: du returns disk space used, so compare against the used column of df output. They should match, or at least be close, unless the file system is corrupt.

Re: [HOWTO] Freeing up rootfs space

The file system may be corrupt... Try running "du -hsx /" and see if the total agrees with the amount df shows used for the rootfs to get an idea of what actual used space looks like.

Re: [Maemo 5] How do i get the latest Firefox or Fennec?

Plugins were disabled in RC3 due to poor performance (see release notes). There is a way to re-enable, although I did not look into it yet.
