Re: Nokia N810 Battery Life

When I had a bad battery I couldn't even get it to boot. So perhaps your first move should be a new battery. Be sure to charge it a while before trying to boot.

I now have some experience with the Mugen battery, and can't recommend it.

No, that didn't work. The application launcher still shows a generic icon.


No, if all the apps I mentioned are running, it takes over a minute. With no other apps it is about 15 seconds.

Re: Flip clock pre pre pre pre release

Both the last version and this one show as generic icons for me in personal launcher and in other menus.


I don't see these problems on my N810.

Re: Flip clock pre pre pre pre release

I think so. I got the same message, but it went away when I renamed the background image to remove the spaces.

I turned insomniac mode off in Flip Clock, and even uninstalled it. Still no sleep, and runs the battery down in about 8 hours.

Re: Wall charger for BP-4L (N810 Battery)?

My guess would be that they figured the battery life is good enough, and the back cover doesn't look like it was designed for a lot of openings.

Re: Installing .deb Patch?

Don't blame you a bit.

I used bunzip2 (I got a bz2 - are you sure it's a gz2?) and then WinZip to unpack the file on my PC. I'll copy them to the N810 with the USB cable.
