Upgrade to OS on Nokia 770 Tablet

In my new Nokia 770 I realized that the operating system was the 2005 version. After performing, in an apparently normal way, the process of updating to the 2006 version the device worked no longer (did not reboot at the end of updating) and all I could get was a blank screen. I am going to get a new one but I´m afraid to try again.

Thanks for the tips, Niel and WWJD! I have just learned from another source that OS 10.4 is also available on a 4-CD set. Is there any way I can get this set? I'd be happy to exchange the one DVD for the set, as apparently this would solve all problems without the need to invest in new drives. Thanks!

Nokia 770 Tablet

I just got a Nokia 770 Tablet an am having trouble signing onto AOL and reading my email. I am able to send emails. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I seem to have all the settings that Aol recommends for ingoing and outgoing. It might have to do with the user name as that screen comes uo, but doesnt allow me to put in a username.

I was wondering the same thing. The size of the memory card is based upon the OS. Most are restricted to 2GB because the file system is FAT16/32. I have no idea about the 770 and would like to know also.

Nokia 770 tablet questions

Got mine today along with thousands of others as Expansys selling them by the bucketload!! Two problems:-
i) Bluetooth - cannot get it to see my Orange SPV E650 - is the phone too new? Phone no see tablet/tablet no see phone.
ii) How do the rubber supports in the box fit and hold the tablet securely? Otherwise they make good nose and ear picks!
Expect lots of questions from lots of people - got to get in quick!

I'd like to use the 770 as a bridge from my wifi router to my sound system to stream internet radio (Live365.com, music.aol.com, etc.)
1) Can the headphone output jack of the 770 be connected to the aux input of my amplifier? I already do this with an external CD player with no problems.
2) Since it will be left "on" for hours at a time, is there an external power supply that could be substituted for the battery when the 770 is used in this mode?
3)If there isn't one available, can the battery charger be left connected during operation? Would this harm the unit or reduce the life of the battery?
4) If I have a spare battery, can it be recharged when not installed in the 770?
5) As a VOIP device, does the 770 have a external microphone input jack (either monaural or stereo), similar to the headphone output jack? This would allow "hands free" use.
6) If some of the above functions/options are not possible nor available on the existing model, is Nokia considering including them as product improvements?
The other features of the product make it much more interesting to me than a simple wireless audio device, even if it costs more.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

IChat Nokia 770

hi
I have problems connecting via GOOGLE TALK from my NOKIA 770 tablet to the GMAIL account in JABBER inside iChat.
I can connect in chat no problem but not in AUDIO CHAT = it always gives a "no answer" error.
Any help please?
thank you
enrico

The Google Talk service is standard XMPP, which iChat can also understand. So in that respect iChat is compatible with Gtalk.
But the audio part of Gtalk is new, and only recently started becoming standardised as a JEP.
iChat doesn't use this new standard. Because there was no standard for audio or video over XMPP when iChat 3 came out Apple implemented their own custom way of doing it.
If you want to be able to voice chat between the Gtalk client and iChat you will need to submit feedback to Apple requesting they update iChat to use the new standards. Until that happens text chat is all you're going to get between iChat and Gtalk.
If you just want to be able to IM and voice chat between your 770 and other people you could try Gizmo (http://www.gizmoproject.com). They have clients for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, and they have been working on one for the Nokia 770 recently (Nokia 770 is Linux-based anyway i believe). You'll be able to send text chats from Gizmo to people on Gtalk too as they also use XMPP for IM.

Can a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet link with a Sony E...

Can a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet link with a Sony Ericson K750i as a Modem?

Did a little more digging and found that quite few people have problems getting this phone to do dialup with anything other than a laptop and SEs own software.
reason is that SE use some funny command structure, instead of *99# they use *99***1#
The number 1 there is important, it is the internet profile to use for the dialup, there will probably be several settings in
Menu->Settings->Connectivity-> Internet Settings -> Internet Profiles ->
In the phone, and so the number will need to match the one that is configured for Internet access (and not Wap or MMS)
Also the N770 will need to be configured to send *99***x# (change the x to the number of the connection). I have never used the 770, but looking at the user guide you need to go to
Control panel > Control panel > Tools > Mobile operator setup wizard
Create a connection as described on page 27 of the user guide, the settings will be network operator dependent, but the key thing will be to configure the Dial-Up number to be *99***x#

Doesn't seem so. "OS 2006 edition v. 3.2006.49-2" is the latest, according to: http://europe.nokia.com/A4144790

Nokia 770: Can't Surf The Net In Hotels

When trying to connect my Nokia 770 Internet Tablet while in hotels, I find that my success is hit and miss. But I can use a laptop and connect. The difference is the browser on the laptop defaults to a web page from the ISP where I have to agree to some terms before being allowed to surf the net. How do I get to this default page with the Nokia 770?Message Edited by cxbank on 26-Jan-2007

Well, both really. Sometimes I can open the browser and surf for a while fine, then it hangs. Other times it hangs as soon as I open the browser. I've also noticed that the iTunes visualizer hangs unless it is in full screen mode. It never used to do that. In fact, I used to have trouble getting a full screen visualizer, now it's all I can do. Windows is updated. I suppose I could try sound and video card updates.

Nokia 770 and Adobe Flash Player

I have been to a number of sites, like youtube.com, where I am directed to get an updated flash player, and then i am routed to the Adobe Flash Player for Linux download page. Unfortunately, the download button is not shown on the 770, while it is shown when I use my computer. Even if I could download it, the instructions pertain to a computer with a Modzilla browser.
Does the 770 have a flash player, and can it be updated?

Question: When is an 'Internet' Tablet not an 'Internet' Tablet?
Answer : When like the nokia 770 it comes with an outdated flash player that can't be updated!
To own one of these 770s with a completely out of date (cira 1998 for flash 6?) flash player is like owning a car (recently purchased) that will not drive on newly built roads!
I got my mind around the 770 not having a decent Calendar a some time ago (eventhough you get a Calendar on the most basic Nokia phone!). The Geeks of Nokia tell us "This is not a PDA & that why it doesn't have a Calendar". Ok so it is not a PDA but if it is an 'Internet' Tablet, why is the flash player so out of date?? Why don't Nokia release an updated version for it?? This device was on sale in the UK upto about 2 weeks ago through Nokia's own web shop for £243 !!
If Nokia think all 770 users should buy an N800 just to get upto date internet capability, here is my answer: IN NO WAY 'JOSE'!! I am looking at alternative options.

Nokia 770 vodafone uk gprs with sonyericsson t610

Hi,
I am trying to connect to the internet with a nokia 770 via my t610. I have used the nokia wizzard to set it up, but it does not work. The t610 has gprs internet connection and it works. The bluetooth connection between the two seems to work as well as I can access the data on the t610 from my nokia 770. the nokia can not access the internet via the t610 though.
Any help appriciated.

I have just tried a nokia 6230 with the settings I have got on the tablet! This worked straight away. Very frustrating this.

Nokia 770 - Application Manager unable to update -...

I've got a 770 and really like it. The only issue I have is there are a few apps I want to install but can't as the APplication Manager keeps failing to update.
I'm connecting wirelessly through my router and have no problems with internet, email, RSS, normal downloading, but App Manager just seems to keep faling to update, so I can't install much.
I want to install Pidgin, plus a few other tools (calender, maybe an email/contacts tool, a decent video player and a decent photo viewer, plus a good RSS reader.
I've tried Pidgin using this method (http://dragon-gaming.com/blog/?p=11 - incidentally I can't install the 'How to Gain Root' app either!). When I enter the repositories it starts to update, but then just waits, then fails. Same with all other repositories I try, other than the two default ones.
Any ideas?

I can't comment on the method you have used but I successfully managed to install Pidgin on my 770 yesterday for the first time without any problems, the method I used can be found at: http://pidgin.garage.maemo.org/. Looking at the method you used it looks very similar, but give this method a try and see how you get on.
If this method doesn't work I'd suggest updating your software using the Nokia Internet Tablet Software Updater which can be found at: http://europe.nokia.com/A4144790, out of curiosity what is your current software version? (tools>control panel>device>about product)
Let me know how you get on

Nokia 770 flash update?

Hi,
I've just bought a nokia 770 internet tablet running os2006 operating system with adobe flash 7.
I've noticed that websites such as facebook and other flash heavy websites insist on having flash 9 installed. Is there any workarounds for me to get it installed?
Also is there any way of installing a version of msn I know of some software called gaim/ pidgin but I'm not sure how to install it can I download it straight to the tablet without using a pc?
Regards
Phil

You have to wait until Adobe releases Flash 9 for the device (might never happen).
For (all the available?) software compatible with the 770, you can go here:

NOkia 770 help

Hi, just been given a nokia 770 by a friend of mine he said hes never had much luck with it...i've had a look at it and tbh not much luck either..managed to get it on my home network and was wondering if someone could help me with a setup of this thing...ive had no experience with this nokia 770 but atm just looking at its functions...it has a 1gb memory card and onboard 64meg....if i could get some advice at to get it running i would appreciate it...again sorry for being a noob at this ive never had one before...
Best Regards Dean

oh dear god! a 770! That's like handing someone a "black and white" phone!!
But seriously, I like / miss the 770.. a hard case / screen protector built in
You're kind of limited in what you can do with the 770, I'm afraid.. The main reason is the age of the CPU and the limited flash memory..
First thing I'd do is reflash the thing.. wipe it clean..
If you head on over to http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/ you have three options:
OS2006: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_770.php
This is the last great OS version for the 770, it is Maemo 2 (compared to Maemo 5 on the N900)
OS2007 Hacker edition: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/os2007_hacker_edition.php
This is a cut down version of OS2007 aka Maemo 3 that was released first for the N800.. The reason this is a "hacker edition" is because many of the apps are removed to allow the image to sit on the very small flash memory.. It's not as good as OS2007 is on the N800
Last is:
OS2008 Hacker edition: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/os2008_hacker_edition.php
This is the hacker version of OS2008 aka Maemo 4.. Maemo4 is the OS that ran on the N800 and later the N810 phone. Just as with the OS2007 hacker edition, its really cut down.. It's not really suitable for day to day use..
Now, the main thing to note is that you can reflash your device as many times you'd like.. This means you can try all three OS versions.
To flash your device, you need a copy of flasher-3.5
The process is very similar to the N900
flasher-3.5 -F image.bin -f -R
replace image.bin with the name of one of the OS images you downloaded from the links above
After you've run that command, turn your 770 off
Press and hold down the "home" button and plug it into the computer.. it should wake up and start flashing.
This is a bit of a summary.. but let me know if you want more in depth details and I'll see what I can do.
The 770 is was great device, but it is really very dated compared to the N800, N810 and now the N900..

Nokia 770 and Greek warranty

Recently I bought a nokia 770 from eXpandsys from France.
The tablet had the known problem with blank screen and had to be replaced.

cannot cover the warranty. From eXpandsys they told me that this huppens only
in Greece for unknown reasons.
My sn was 0014A7FAEF97.
Can someone please inform me about warranty and straiten up the Greek reps ??
Thanks in advance.
