Maps/satnav went crazy

Yesterday I loaded up Map on OS2008 to plot a route. I'm using an N800 with a Nokia LD-3W GPS bluetooth device.

It got a signal from the box, but showed me as being miles from my actual location....

Does anybody know the file in /proc that gives a battery charge readout?

Re: Battery life not good -- problem?

Please let us know how you get on. My N800 is still just about alive, after more than 48 hours, which is better than it normally does. And I too have removed a card from the ext slot and disabled...

Re: Battery life not good -- problem?

This might be related to the type of memory card in use. Can you guys post the make/model of your memory card(s)?

Internally, mine was a 2GB Sandisk Extreme SD card, but I've swapped it with a...

Battery life not good -- problem?

On my N770, the battery lasted about a week the way I use it (reading an eBook about one hour a night, screen set low, on standby most of the time).

With my new N800, it's lasting about 24-48...

Re: iGo Stowaway keyboard really slow

FWIW this appears to be a browser bug. They keyboard is slow but usable in all other applications. In the browser, it's slow but always inserts a double-return in text fields, instead of a single...

Re: iGo Stowaway keyboard really slow

No, that bug relates to an Ultra-Slim model and mine is a standard Stowaway.

Also, that bug report says the keyboard refuses to work whereas, as stated, mine works but is slow, and also has a...

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810

Many thanks for this excellent app!

One bug I noticed seems to be the color depth is reduced in landscape mode. The desktop theme looks a little grainy.

I might be wrong but I'd like to hear...

Re: iGo Stowaway keyboard really slow

OK done that, and it's a little faster, but still slow and I can easily type ahead of the cursor. also, it now inserts two returns when I hit the Enter key, and sometimes repeats keys.

Virtual memory -- worth it?

It seems that the browser on OS2008 runs slower if I have virtual memory enabled. Is it really worth enabling? If so, is there an optimum size? I read that smaller sizes are better.

iGo Stowaway keyboard really slow

I've got a Think Outside Stowaway BT keyboard (the one that folds in half for storage and has four rows of keys).

I've successfully paired it with my N800 running OS2008 (4.2008.36-5), but the...

Re: I'm back with N800 questions

I'm going to be honest, and spare no feelings. I'm deeply disappointed by my experiences of browsing on the N800 using OS2008. It's just not good enough. Nowhere near.

Hi everybody. Some of you might remember me posting on this forum around this time last year, when I'd just bought a 770. At that time I was deliberating getting an N800. Well, I never did because...

Re: UK price hits £149

Like I said a long time ago in this thread, my bet is that these items will turn-up with OS2008 preinstalled on them (currently N800s come with OS2007). In other words, these are new stock units and...

Add in the rather high £7 P&P and it comes to just under £191.63. Because it's an established and reliable company, this is still the best bet if you don't want to wait for...

Re: N8100 in Uk

We have no magic powers here to find low prices. Every now and again one of us spots a low price while browsing, and posts it here, but in this case you should be helping yourself.

Because the US is a huge country.

Yes, it's illegal under EU rules.
