Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Here we are, mid-october 2023, and I still use my N900. In fact, I picked up another one on ebay when my original kinda fell apart (the USB apparently broke because it wouldn't charge) after 12...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Batteries are easily had and inexpensive on ebay. Not sure if they are "genuine".



I just heard about Maemo Leste in this thread. I will be looking into it.

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

I still use an N900, not as a phone, but as my "brain prosthesis" as a former coworker referred to it. I use it for all of my personal media that I prefer not to stick on my (work) iphone. My music...

Re: New-ish N900

I just wanted to update everyone on my situation. The unit mentioned in this post appears to have had a bad motherboard, and that was what was causing the digitizer accuracy to be off. The problem...

Re: New-ish N900

Thanks! I will look into this. Personal preference, since I have not had the best of luck with systemd (that is an understatement), I would prefer to find a FreeBSD distro to run on it. I have...

New-ish N900

Wow! It is good to see life in this forum after all these years!

I just purchased a refurbished N900, and received it last week. The one I bought in 2010 is suffering from a few things, like the...

Re: Panucci just stops playing

Awesome. I did an apt-get install --reinstall panucci, and so far so good...Maybe the binary got b0rked somewhere along the line. We shall see. :)

Panucci just stops playing

I know this is probably a longshot, but I figured I'd try. I use Panucci to play podcasts on my N900. Lately, say the last month, though it started slowly enough that it may have been longer, Panucci...

Re: FMTX set frequency fails after latest CSSU update

FMTX set frequency fails after latest CSSU update

Hey all,

Hope everyone had a good holiday break. I updated to the latest CSSU update on 28 Dec. This being the holidays, I have not had need for the FM transmitter until today. I ran out, and when...

Re: Starting over again...From scratch

That's good to know. I enabled extras-devel last night, and updated to KP52, but I immediately went back to -cssu3.



I concur with that. My intent for this post is to consolidate the process...

Starting over again...From scratch

I figured I would post a short after-action report of my experiences of having to reflash and rebuild my N900 from the ground up. I wanted to put this out here for a newbie that might get an N900,...

Re: Best performance/usability enhancements for Freemantle/N900

Crap! Install order counts. I was going to post and ask before I did it, but I figured CSSU (firmware) then kernel upgrades, then everything else... I guessed wrong.

Knowing that, I'm hoping that...

Re: Best performance/usability enhancements for Freemantle/N900

I wish I could thank you twice, Copernicus. This time the flash took. Apparently my device's filesystem was more b0rken than I thought. :)

Re: Best performance/usability enhancements for Freemantle/N900

I will try this and report back.



It's possible ("speed kills, Peaches"), but isn't it usually heat that kills it? And the processor doesn't seem to have the issue, it's the filesystem. I was...

Best performance/usability enhancements for Freemantle/N900

This being mid-2013, I know a lot of people are still using theirs. I ran into an issue yesterday with ogg-support which is likely going to require me to nuke and pave and start over from scratch for...

Reinstalling ogg-support => broken OS?

Hey all,

I had a problem with my N900 no longer seeing ogg/vorbus files. I used to be able to see them in OMP and others, but now they were not being seen. So I went through the forums, and found...

Re: Repurposing N900 after retiring it?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Alpha release of Open Media Player

Hi OMP team,

Got a question/issue. I'm guessing that since the last update to OMP, it cannot see the media on my SD card. I had between 1700 and 2000 tracks on my N900, but now OMP only sees 142,...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Hmm. For me, I would say powerful desktop, optionally a laptop, and a reader-sized device. I have a quad-core AMD box, a work laptop, and my N900. This pretty much suits my computing needs...

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU

Another option would be to put these patches in, and then include an enable/disable checkbox in the CSSU options. This way, you don't have to track multiple patches/mods, plus you have a version that...
