Re: PR1.2 automatically sends SMS, registers phone with My Nokia. Privacy breach?

I considered that. However, there might be deeply personal information hidden in there. :o

If it is Base64 encoded, it's binary data. :(

I can, however, advise on how to edit the binary so...

Re: PR1.2 automatically sends SMS, registers phone with My Nokia. Privacy breach?

Great idea! I modified the cherry bin, and the message still went to Nokia. I've since found a list of numbers in libcpcherry.so. I've modified that and had success at sending messages to my other...

I'm guessing this is the screen that myself and others never saw. Notice the lack of means of not agreeing.

Shortly after I first started this thread, I was starting to think that it was only me that wasn't informed that I would be sending a message. I was also starting to think that it was only me that...

Yes, but I gave explicit, informed permission for them to hold my details. They need those details to offer me a service. Nokia don't NEED my details to allow my...

Re: PR1.2 Privacy breach?

Regardless of whether a notification does/doesn't appear, it's still not very clear that Nokia are doing this.

Re: PR1.2 Privacy breach?

Yes, I know that. Which also fails, BTW.

My problem is the sneaky way in which Nokia tried to do it in the first place.

Re: PR1.2 Privacy breach?

That's the thing, it DIDN'T ask. And no, I don't just click through Yes/OK/Whatever.

I don't mind sharing some info with Nokia. But I DO mind them having my number.

PR1.2 automatically sends SMS, registers phone with My Nokia. Privacy breach?

I've just done an OTA update to PR1.2. After the first reboot I got a text message from Nokia telling me that my MyNokia registration had failed.

Huh?!?

Re: X-Terminal novice plea for help! No previous threads work.

You must install the Rootsh (http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/) package from the App Manager before you can do a sudo gainroot.

Re: Left high-and-dry by Nokia/Ovi store :(

I've just had a quick scan of the Ovi Publishers agreement. I am far from a lawyer, but it seems very generic to me.

I was specifically looking for any clause that would prevent a consortium. I...

Re: Left high-and-dry by Nokia/Ovi store :(

I've just reread this thread, and I've realised that I may be coming across as overly negative. That's not my intention. Sorry.

If you don't know what the terminal is, you probably don't need to worry about it.

The terminal can be considered as a way of getting at the "guts" of the os.

You can do...
