The n900 can't die, it can do everything

Well alots of you guys lost hope in the n900, after everyone said that nokia "killed" it, really ??? look where the device is now,
you can get android 2.2 via nitdroid, you can overclock to 1 ghz in a push of a button, you can have up to 9 homescreens with desktop+,you can watch most of the flash 10 animations and videos on the web using 'tweak flash version', you can remotly control your pc via vnc viewer
, you can have remote xp !! via rdesktop, you can jailbreak your ps3 using your n900, you can run like 6 OSs on the same device (froyo, windows98, mac os, ubunto, eclair, donut, debian...),you can have extreme speed with the custom transitions in the blac plastic theme, you can do voice guided navigation with modtana,you can control your tv with irreco, .... and this is only a strat or an introduction to what can device really do,
the n900 is like 2pac, they killed him too soon, but we all listen to the 2pac rap, now after 16 years of his death,, most of the people still thinks that he's the best rapper ever, so is the n900, best smartphone/computer/tablet/thingy ever .
long live maemo5 and the mighty n900, it can do everything...
Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .
don't forget to hit that green kudos

I wouldn't go as far as to say the best phone ever made..... not now. 6 months ago, maybe.
A lot of manufacturers have taken some of it's best features and only slightly improved on them. The screen for instance.... The iPhone 4 screen is actually only another 32 pixels per inch more than the N900, and others are still trying to beat the resolution but ending up with devices that could double up as surf-boards.
The web browsing, despite Flash 10.1.xx is still very cumbersome on some of the rival models, simply because at this moment in time Flash 10.1.xx is so buggy and troublesome as a plugin, I'm certainly not in a hurry to get it on my N900.
I'd say the N900 broke the mould, just like the Commodore Amiga did in the 80's. Anyone remember that one? It was the machine that started the high end graphics and 3D video editing race, it also invented the multimedia race. People in their thousands sold their PCs to buy the Amiga, because they got fed up of playing Falcon on a 4 colour display. In reality it "kickstarted" the home computer market.
As for the N900, I'll remember it as I remember the Amiga. The N900 has proved that Nokia can make a mobile computer, and in that respects it will be the device to compare other mobile computers. It's opened up the full web experience for handsets and it's driven the final nail into the coffin of the antiquated WAP service, thus dragging the networks screaming and kicking into the 21st Century. Some of them are putting up a fight with restrictions and blocks, but the more handsets we see with full web capabilities, the more they are backing into a corner.
The Commodore Amiga, and indeed the CD32 (the grand-daddy of the console market) have pride of place in the Science Museum because of their cult status. I think the N900 should join them for the same reasons.

  • My iPhone 3G has suddenly lost vibration and sound/ringtones(also does not change aspect when tilted). An incoming phone call can be answered but no sound is heard from the speakers9even though the caller can hear what I am saying). Any ideas?

    My 3G iPhone has suddenly lost all sound and vibration, it has also lost the "tilt" capability on-screen. An incoming call is registered without a sound, however, the caller can hear everything being said by me(whilst I hear nothing at all from his/her call).
    Any suggestions??

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification

  • Tethering the N900? Oh dear

    I mightn't be able to use the N900 after all.. how disappointing...
    I need a handset to support two main things.. firstly ALS/line-2 I really need two numbers on my handset.. My N97 supports it, but I've not heard either way about the N900.. but I suspect it probably won't.. 
    Next thing is tethering (via bluetooth). I need to use my phone as a modem with a laptop.. I don't think Maemo5 supports this yet either..
    Not really a problem, I'll get one and use it as a tablet rather than a phone.. but get this.. and this is the total show stopper. Something that wasn't a problem for the previous 3 tablets
    You can't tether the N900 to another phone. This means unless you have a sim in it (or you're using wifi) you won't be able to connect to the internet whilst out and about. This was exactly how the N810, N800 and 770 worked.. I bluetooth tethered them to my Nokia phone and away I went. The N900 changes this, apparently
    If the N900 can't be used as a decent phone (line-2 / MMS / works as a modem) AND I can't use a different phone as a bluetooth modem to connect to allow it to connect to the internet, I just won't be able to use it.. at least I won't be able to use it outside of the house..
    They can't stick to the "its an internet tablet first" if you MUST use it as a phone.. what a crying shame..
    I'm really disappointed about that

    Dang, it's really hard to find out if a phone supports line-2 on regular Nokia handsets.
    On my N97, if I go into Settings, Calling, Call I get two additional options "Line in use" and "Line change"
    However, I also have an E90 handset which doesn't support line-2.. but when I go into settings, phone, call I don't see the "line change" and "line in use" options BUT if I open help it mentions them! A give away the the support is disabled in the phone rather than not available at all.
    It might be the same on the N900, but unless you have a Sim with line-2 I guess its going to be really hard to find out! It would be great if line-2 services were enabled on all Nokia phones as it has really held me back from some in the past! I guess the safest thing to try is taking my sim into a Nokia store when they have one in and giving it a try. I've bugged the London flagship store staff on more than one occasion with the same query and they've always been happy to help out
    If you happen to hear someone inside Nokia mention ALS or line-2 support though, please do drop a reply! That would be great and cheers for helping out!

  • I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drvie to die before i use the other drives

    I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?

    I do not know what you are waiting for.
    I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external  firewire drive.  You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!

  • The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Adobe Acrobat" can't be read or written. (Error code - 36)

    I recently did a clean install on a 2011 MacBook Pro with Mavericks. Went to install Adobe Acrobat 9 with the DVD media and about 3/4 of the way through the install, the install stopped and the following window appeared:  The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Adobe Acrobat" can't be read or written. (Error code - 36).  I've tried to install a few times and get the same message.  Is Adobe Acrobat 9 incompatible with Mavericks.  I've seen some posts on Apple Support Communities indicating that it is indeed compatible, but no explanation why the error pops up. 

    The hard drive may be dying anyway, or the directory damaged because it is so full.  You should never let the hard drive get over 85% full.
    A -36 error is a read/write error.
    All you did with the power is reset the SMC.  Does nothing to reset everything to factory settings. 
    Do you have your original 10.4 installer discs for the MacBook?
    Is your data backed up?

  • I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back and it will also send my music to the airport express?

    I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back yard and it will boost our wo
    Ireless signal and also send my music to the airport express? Or does the airport express work as a stand alone hub?

    Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
    Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
    Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
    Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
    When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
    CCC will do the rest.
    If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
    I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
    It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
    Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
    Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
    Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
    Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
    If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
    I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

  • My n900 can't start

    i tried to update my n900 using ovi suite... during the update, it says that my phone is disconnected... then i unplug the cable and tried to restart my phone.. i can only see the nokia sign then it will be off again

    Can't see why it's not holding the connection. You are connecting the phone to the USB while it is switched off and you're holding the "U" key down on the N900 until you feel it vibrate, I take it?
    I've seen a few instances on Talk.Maemo where the phone will not go into flashing mode with the keyboard fully open. Not sure if that could be your problem, but it's worth a shot I guess.
    When you have the keyboard open just open it far enough so you can just see the top row of keys and use the stylus to hold down the "U" key while plugging in. Might be an idea to stick the phone down to a flat surface with a blob of Blu-Tak to hold it still.
    If that doesn't work I'm wondering if your USB connector is OK. Could have broken loose, which is causing disconnections when the USB is in.

    Creative Cloud icon disappeared from Apple Tool Bar after I installed some CC updates. Does somebody know what the problem can be?

    I had a similar issue. I closed the Cloud icon, and when I went to open it again, it just died.
    I uninstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, went to the Adobe CC download page and requested a trial copy of PS, being sure to enter my CC name and password.  It then reinstalled Adobe Creative Cloud, and all is working again (I hope).

  • N900 can not MOBILE BANKING through SIM TOOLKIT

    N900 can not Mobile banking through SIM TOOLKIT, because NOT support SIM TOOLKIT.

    yes, I agree "FANCY" N900 less fancy without this service.... I really disapointed because if NOKIA 900 can use STK and Browser, we can choose the way that we love to use, right?

    Today STK is already realized on almost all mobile phones, but not on "fancy" Nokia N900.

  • New ipod touch, Error: "The device can not be read or written to."

    I don't know what else to do!
    I also have an Ipod touch that just doesn't sync. When I connect the Ipod and launch Itunes to sync, it tells me that the device can not be written to:
    It just doesn't snyc at all. It's brand-new, out of the box and just doesn't work. And it's not my first ipod, so I know how to handle Itunes.
    That's what i've tried so far without success to solve the problem:
    * restored the touch hundreds of times, both in recovery and DFU mode and within the touch software
    * upgraded to firmware 1.1.4, downgraded back to 1.1.3, then to 1.1.2. and back to 1.1.4 - no change!
    * installed several different ITunes Versions and different Apple Mobile Device Services
    * tried MediaMonkey BETA with Ipod Touch support (this just creates 0kb files on the touch, but it also uses the mobile device service, so i guess the failure is somewhere there)
    * tried 4 different Windows XP systems with Itunes at my home and at friends (same error there as well)
    * restored my Windows XP with a recovery version and reinstalled Itunes completely from scratch
    * created a new user account in Windows XP and tried it with this one
    * launched Itunes with Internet switched off
    * used different USB ports - both 1.1 and 2.0
    * disconnected all USB devices
    * registered the necessary DLLs manually
    * last week, I sent the ipod to Apple (they claim that everything is fine and the problem is just me and my computer and sent it back without change)
    I don't have an apple in reach, so i'm not able to test it with an apple computer. There is also no apple store here in the country side of Germany.
    What else can be done? I know there are hundreds, that have the same problem but I don't know any more things to try. Now i have a 300 bucks touch i can not use as mp3 player...

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - The file can not be saved in path because an error has occurred

    Hello,
    I need again help regarding this issue. Sometimes but very often I receive an error, trying to save a PSD file, the error is: "The file can not be saved in <path> because an error has occurred". After that it is not possible to save the file in any format, using save or save in dialog. The only way to rescue the result is, to save for web as an jpeg. This error occours often using Topaz or NIK filter and until now only in PS-CC 2014. My workflow looks like this:
    - Open NEF RAW file in Brdige
    - Settings in ACR and give it into PS by clicking OK in ACR
    - In PS doing a adjust some levels
    - press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
    - Uing Topaz Adjust on the new level with 65% opacity
    - press SHIFT+STRG+ALT+E for a new summary layer
    - Using Topaz DeNoise on the new layer
    - pres STRG+i and resize the image to 1200x797
    - Using Topaz InFocus on the same layer as DeNoise
    - create a vignette with brightness adjustlayer
    After this workflow in nearly 90% it is not possible to save the file as PSD or something else, only to save for web as JPG. If I save the file after opening the RAW in PS and after every layer with Topaz Filter, I can save the file when I am done. Same issue occurs using NIK Filters in that way.
    I tried to optimize the performance by using this guide: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html doesn’t solve the issue.
    I re- and installed all Adobe Products more than three times, doesn't solve the issu.
    After that I ordered a new SSD drive and insall Windows 7 64bit inkl. All latest hotfixes, patches and drivers. I downloaded the newest Adobe Versions and the newest filter sets from Topaz and NIK. Doesn’t solve the issue.
    This is my rig:
    Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H mainboard
    Intel Core i7 4770k
    32GB Corsair RAM
    250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD Drive
    nVidia Geforce GTX770
    During my tests I took the same RAW File and created nearly 20 adjustment layers and summary layers, without using Topaz or NIK filters. No problem, I was able to save the file as PSD file. 
    From my point of view, actually, the error occurs only when I am using Topaz or NIK filters. Both supports doesn’t know the issue and if I search the web, I can’t find more then me. It seemed to depend on my settings, my rig or something else, perhaps a cache is overflowed or something like this. Adobe telephone support can’t help because I said I use a third party filter. But it occurs with two different manufactures…
    So please guys, help me to figure out why this error occurs in my system.
    Thanks in Advance and best regards,
      Michael

    Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.
