Hello. I have had my tablet, an N800, for about three days now, and noticed a couple of problems when I used the Nokia software upgrade wizard to upgrade to OS2008. Prior to upgrading, the skype, pidgin and other apps were working fine, but I figured its better to have my device up to date with software, so I upgraded anyway.

At first, when I installed applications, they'd install fine but then not show up on the application list. One such app I had this problem with was "Gmail Notifier."

After encountering this issue, I started getting a notice that read "download [application name] failed" anytime I tried to install an app. This time, the app with the problem was "Mplayer."

I came to this forum and found a couple of threads which described close to my same problem. The advice I found was to reflash the OS2008 software using the Nokia Update Wizard and to format my memory cards. I have both an internal (the standard 128 that comes with the tablet) and a 2gb micro (which I bought separately.)

Now, Gmail notifier has installed and is working perfectly, but I have encountered another problem. Anytime I try to install ANY other application (Pidgin, Xournal & the Ebook reader, for example) the process goes as follows: I click on the install button for the app (in Tableteer,) it asks me to add a catalog, I say ok. It downloads the data, and I get this message "application list partially refreshed, some catalogs unavailable. Check catalog details. Continue installing?" I say Ok. Downloads data, but cuts short and then I get this message, "Unable to download [app name.] Application package not found." I've tried this with both Pidgin and Xournal. FBreader reader installed fine. Thinking it had worked itself out, I tried the other two again. No dice.

What's the deal? Something I did wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

edit: Well, I see what I did wrong with the update from 2007 > 2008... I found this at http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...-firmware.html

... This is directly contrary to the instructions you are given by Nokia. So I guess that's what caused all the trouble the first update. The second time though, I didn't bother to backup so I got a fresh start.

Any ideas?

edit 2: I fixed it! Nevermind.
