N900 - all problems in one / Why are you doing thi...
750$ device: problems with supporting MS exchange server 2003 (still most commonly used), no real forum support (maemo developers usually don't reply you, probably busy with meego preparations - I don't blame them), slow and old processor (in the brand's flagship phone), no real GPS navigation - low end Nokia phones got it for free :/, fMMS buggy as hell free-only way to use MMS - an argument that iphone also didn't have it - I don't buy.
Ultra-bad battery - most of the real good features you can't use because of this: Widgets, the (otherwise very cool) display full brightness, 3G you have to switch off all the time. Literally when using it normally (internet, e-mail, calls, messages) with 3G, widgets, and normal display mode .. it goes down like after 4 hours at max..maybe less. And not even talking about Youtube... no native app, ofc. All the apps you can get – in mediabox, zoutube..and others (tried about 5) buggy as hell (again) – and I don’t need to download the videos, just watch them online, I would do that in the browser, but you’ve got to overclock the device to get the videos in a watchable way in the browser.
I am willing even to do that.. but some of the programs needed for that can’t be installed..and with no forum support (not even thinking about an official online one from Nokia)..one can’t get anywhere + by overclocking one ofc looses warranty, battery and device life.
So let’s conclude:
It is the most expensive and advanced Nokia you can get – it has literally its own OS – abandoned by Nokia after 6 months from release of N900.
It is not useful for work (poor MS exchange support, poor sync even with the newly released MS online services, poor and no native Google apps – Gmail, Google docs, calendar support, the email client doesn’t support search or categories). However, paid version of the docs to go is very good..
It is not useful for fun either (poor social networking apps even in extras-develop-testing, it is nice having all the computer game ports, however we all know the UI and the actual game play are **bleep**, and if you want to have at least the PS emulator...you again HAVE TO OVERCLOCK)
It is not useful for navigation (the GPS itself is of poor quality and you have to pay for something that low-end users have for free) Also it lacks digital compass – so no augmented reality here.
the FM transmitter (even with FM booster) doesn’t really work (tried in three different cars). The phone is heavy and the keyboard gets scratched really fast when using it regularly. Also the camera is much worse than in my 3 years old N82!! No useful twitter app – tweego, nice looking, but no search (**bleep**?) and I’m not even starting on witter.
I want to state that I don’t need a phone for dummies (iphone n’ stuff) and I’m willing to set my phone and spend a lot of time with installing it, going through forums and everything.. but what is too much is too much.
And it is great that it all runs now on QT, however most QT apps you can get now for maemo are useless, not working or demos only – and even if that changes in the future – do you seriously want to run on an outdated OS with no support from the manufacturer??.. I also don’t need everything for free..I am willing to pay for apps and software and everything. But!! Ovi offer for N900 is not even a joke! And what I am not willing to pay for is 3rd party navigation.. when Nokia distributes it to almost every other Smartphone for free.
With the OS – I would even go for paying for the MeeGo upgrade (whenever it would be ready and if Nokia would support Maemo – or should I call it N900 OS – properly meanwhile), BUT THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE AT LEAST AN OFFICIAL WORD FROM NOKIA that it would actually be possible.
The last thing I want to state is this – I don’t blame the technicians who created this phone, it could have been a hell of a gadget. I blame the product development, marketing and the business teams of nokia. Because god I swear I used to be a Nokia fan and supporter and I even defended N900...but what you’ve done releasing this phone could be called only a huge business cluster f**ck. You literally push people to buy smartphones elsewhere. Even though they don’t want to. Seems that the N97 nightmare wasn’t enough..
Switching to Android or even WM and Motorola, Samsung or HTC, even though I wanted to stay with Nokia.. but guys I at least need to read my work emails on my device.. with N900 it is not possible.
the emails... I really need to have total sync between my outlook and the phone.. I was expecting N900 as a high end -kind of work phone ..I'm talking about Exchange server - so even the web access we have has to go over VPN - and for that you need bunch of certificates.. and you're not able to get them for linux - that I'm sure..
so the exchange would be sollution..
anyway
also the Digital compass and no AR
finally the OS thing.. strange how people are used to think..
look at this from a different point of view:
Nokia was one of the first companies in the world to start with mobile phones.. right?
They had huge share of market - right?
They have got years of experience and advantage in techological expertiese - right?
They start to loose pace with smartphones and had been loosing it ever since N98 8GB - right?
Now - they fail once again...creating a device, which should have been superior.. and the development probably cost huge amounts of money.. when they create a platofrm without continuity...which is replaced by incompatible system 6 months after release of N900
- so the right answer is not.. well the others don't do it.. so we (Nokia) don't need to bother
- the answer is We are in deep sh**t considering the smartphones market and we are loosing market share.. in an incredible fast pace.. we should do something about it - we should learn from other's mistakes - we should do things better..
and btw - with Android upgrade to upper version - is normal.. I know I know - it is not like maemo and meego.. but they're running tests of meego on N900.. anyway

No matter how many times I start itunes on my pc I have to agree to the terms of service again and when it does open my settings have all been changed. Why is it doing this and how can I stop it? Reinstalling/repairing does not fix it.
McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.
Or a repair install of iTunes from the Programs and Features control panel might fix the problem.

Why are you calling this the most customizable version when you've taken away customization options?
I used to be able to move the back, forward, refresh, and stop (and make them separate buttons as well). With this version, they're immovable, and you're some how saying this is more customizable.
For the first time, starting in Firefox 29, the menu is customizable, and there is a right-click option to easily move items between the menu and the main navigation toolbar. But you are correct that some previously detachable parts of the address bar are no longer detachable, and the tab bar can't be moved below the navigation toolbar through the customize feature.
I don't know how to score that mix of gains and losses, but really, this support forum is aimed at making the current release of Firefox work for you. Did you find a solution, such as the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer extension], or are you still in search of one? -
My IP (Roadrunner) strongly advised that I not continue the download since they said your software didn't have the proper verification and that it might be an imposter. This happened during the process of switching my email and other stuff. I'm not a computer wizard so don't know what to do now.

Why are BT doing this to me???
For months now, i've been on a banded profile. Admittedly, it was because i had to keep re starting my router. But since i learned why, i haven't touched it at all. This was nearly 2 months ago when they put me on it.
Since then, my broadband connects fine, and stays connected, untill i get between 4 days and 10-15 hours. Then i find out the next morning it's disconnected in the night. I could understand 2 or 3 times. But every single week? Why does it aways stay connected until the crucial point which coulld get me back to normal? This has been going on for WEEKS! And i'm getting fed up with it. It's starting to feel like it's doing it on purpose. At the moment, i feel like switching and leaving them with a bill!! Why is this happening? It can't be bad connection, because it's every 4 days, WITHOUT FAIL, then so many hours into it, it disconnects...whats going on????????Line state:

I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
Thanks for a feed back.JKerki wrote:

It would be advisable for Apple to react officially on it. € 799, - for something that doesn´t function is no fun :-((

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS.
I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile. -

Why are you trying to trick me into downloading an inferior version?
'''Firefox''' used to be a good browser. It has served me well for years, and I have loved it. Then you came out with '''Firefox 4'''. It looked ugly. It wasn't user friendly. The menus were inconvenient to navigate. It was ''missing'' features that I had come to rely on. It had an incredibly annoying habit of flickering information in distracting pop-up tabs at the bottom of the screen every time I moved my mouse. In short, I ''hated'' '''Firefox 4'''. Everyone I spoke to felt the same way.
So I tried Google's '''Chrome'''. It was just as bad. It looked almost exactly the same, and had everything I ''didn't'' like about '''Firefox 4'''. Finally, I hunted down an installer for '''Firefox 3.6''' and reverted back to it. It was simply the superior browser. Once again, I could be happy. Even though I had lost my saved passwords, bookmarks, and other add ons; and had to work hard to get things back to how I'd had them it was worth it.
I must not have been the only one to feel this way, because '''Firefox 4''' seems to have been amazingly short lived. Now you have out '''Firefox 5''', and yet nothing has changed. From what I can tell, it is still the same poorly designed browser that I hated in version 4, just given a new number. Honestly, even calling it a new version seems dishonest.
I have to ask why.
Why are you trying so hard to imitate browsers that I already passed up in favour of using '''Firefox'''?
Why go up a whole version number for something that hasn't really changed at all?
Most of all, why do you keep trying to get people to change to something so radically different from the browser that they have, and actually ''like''?If you think 4.0 is bad wait to you go to 5.0. The changes from 3.6 are trashy and sloppy. Foxfire needs to stop playing with the home page on updates. I do not like them.

Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?
Why are you asking for my Visa card information when I have a balance on my iTunes gift card?
Either because you're trying to buy some sort of gift, or the iTunes Store servers are checking the validity of your account and won't charge the card, or there's a problem at Apple's end.

Every single day, Firefox crashes and sometimes in the most inopertune time. This is very frustrating as some of the times I can not go back in and correct what I was not able to do due to your site crashing. What is causing this problem and what are you doing to fix it? Should I just go back to Internet Explorer?
First, you must use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta and keep your current one for Firefox 3.6 to prevent interferences between the two versions.
For your problem:
# [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] could be a cause.
# If not 1. and if it does not happen in [[Safe Mode]], you must disable HW acceleration in Options > Advanced > General. If it solves your issue, your graphic driver is out-of-date and must be updated. Go to your computer manufacturer support site. -

(Moderator altered links, because they are malicious)Could you explain what you mean by "updating"? Did your antivirus pick this up while Firefox was updating or while you were browsing the Internet?
If you were browsing the Internet (While visitting the hxxp://xtrastudio<i></i>.com link), then that website was infected and not a Firefox problem. I would advise you to not visit the website again though, unless they manage to fix the infection as the antivirus managed to block it now, but it might not be able to the next time.
If it happened during the "Firefox is updating" window when you tried to start Firefox, then it pretty serious.
If you could answer that question, we will probably be able to help you. Good luck :) -

If you typed in the address, check your spelling. Could just be a typo.
If you’ve found an issue with one of our websites, we’d appreciate it if you could report the problem in Bugzilla, our bug tracker. One of our developers will take a look at it as soon as possible.
If you followed a link, it’s probably broken.
If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, start at mozilla.org.
It's not broken it's not letting me do what I want too and I am very upset and I want in on this project that you are trying to guide me away from!!!!! I did not find this website by searching or typing i found it by using my tools.Are you trying to access the Mozilla website? What page in specific is causing this to happen?

When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created. Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?
I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track. That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty). It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?
