Thanks for the interesting post. I agree that switching everything off on a smartphone defeats the purpose, but it still makes sense to me to look for good battery life - it gives flexibility: I can either be "playing with the toys" for longer, or I can choose to forego the toys and features until I absolutely need them... and have a phone that's acting just as a phone for longer. I'm sure you get my point.

Anyway I guess the game has changed again... the Sea Ray phone has all the nice design of the N9, plus a camera button, plus an OS that has a future (maybe not as good a future as Android, but certainly longer lasting than Meego).

It's a shame the N9 and Sea Ray releases are too far in the future, I don't think I'm patient enough to wait until September? when I could have an S2 (or, maybe, a Sensation, I'm not *completely* decided) a week from now.

I agree with the over expectations. But i also think it is due to the iPhone 4. Many rave about how.awesome the iPhone 4 battery is (whether the like the phone or not) BUT what they fail tks realise is that IT does not result multi task. So its got the large battery for generally running one app at a time. Freezing an app is not truly leaving it running in the background as Android do and hence, you can't expect equal battery life from an equal capacity battery. I'd like to see the battery life and hence the general expectations of battery life today if iOS had proper multi-tasking.

[Off-topic] Harvin Dhillon:
Meego is not a simple OS. It might look simplistic with the skin in the demo shown by Nokia but it is fully customisable and you dont need to root/jail break etc... to customise it.

Its a linux OS so the possibilities are endless if you want to customise it ;)

As for N900, I had it overclocked to 900Mhz for more than a year with no issues and it usually gave me 2days battery life. It was/still is the best phone I have used in many expects. The reason I got a GS2 is cause I my N900 was stolen and I needed a phone fast.

Dual Speakers, keyboard, resistive screen, awesome browser, skype integration, telepathy intergration, email client.
[Off-topic] noobdeagle:
i just ordered a Galaxy S2 then nokia announce this and im really excited for it and i already kinda regret the GS2 :(

i love android but really that design is amazing and that os being Linux has me really enticed

anyone know what handtec.co.uk returns policy is like?

then again SGS2 outright is quite expensive here in aus i might be able to sell it and make profit :D

@RostokMcSpoons

You could buy a spare battery and a battery charger. It might not be necessary for everyday use, but it would be a guarantee of never running out of battery. In addition it would be specially useful when you go for a trip or other situation where you need to extensively use GPS, Wi Fi and Camera. Also you'd be able to charge both batteries at the same time.
[Off-topic] RostokMcSpoons:
Thanks - that's probably a good idea, though it all adds to the cost of ownership... and I had thought that might be a bit of a pain as I understand the back of the case is thin (maybe fragile?) and difficult to remove.

But hey, yes, if you have a dead phone but a spare battery, a bit of fiddling with the cover isn't going to stop you is it?
[Off-topic] angelomaldito:
Yes, it will cost some money, but nothing compared to tje price of the device itself.

Back cover fragile??? Look at this video:

[Off-topic] waynej4:
Doesn't matter how good the N9 is, Nokia will abandon it soon after release - just like they did with the N900.

No app development is what killed the N900 in the end for me. A fantastic phone and OS (Maemo), let down by Nokia.

Why Nokia’s N9 Smartphone Is Set Up for Failure?

Today I do not click //windousphone.blogspot.com/, I saw on the shock: The N9 is the first truly modern smartphone that Nokia has unveiled since the start of finger-friendly interface revolution. Although it's a significant technical achievement, it's sadly a pyrrhic victory for Nokia-the device has arrived a year too late. The Finnish phone giant has already abandoned its Linux platform in favor of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 operating system, and so on, there are a lot of information.:cool:

Meego on SGS2

True, is it technicly possible to port Linux on SGS2 ? They have both Linux kernel, haven't they ? I'm really interested on open source solutions. So yes, to a Linux Distribution on my phone would be awsome.

I believe Meego distribution could work even without Nokia if there is a community working on it. Even commercial groups would be interested on it if there is a significant community. You already have Intel, LG,... and some other chinese phone builders interested. I'm sure Nokia will regret.

What do you think about ?

[Off-topic] kites4you:
What does that mean
[Off-topic] Slai:
Probably.

Not true, meego exists outside of Nokias iteration, also its an open source platform so you will have people porting android over to the phone, like they did with the N900.

No, it was total utter crap. The N900 blew it away in so many ways it wasnt even fun.

Not even close to the truth. Please dont take megapixelcount to equal camera quality. Cause it does not. The N9 camera is most likely VERY good.

You will be able to run Android apps on it.

Agreed, Ovi Maps is FAR superior to Google Maps. Its free, has turn by turn, works in offline mode, can download entire maps for offline use, not just a few grids like in Android... its just far better.

It being Meego, Im sure apps for the N900 should be able to run on it, as well as all Symbian3 apps, and also Android apps. So a ton of apps.

Because they got a ****TON of money from Microsoft in this deal, and most likely a security going forward with this collaboration. Also, to differenciate themselves, they cant just hop on Android. Everyone is on Android, and that would leave Nokia in the dust as far as experience with the OS goes, compared to HTC and Samsung for instance.

I think WP7 was a good choice by Nokia, and Im sure the WP7 phone line from Nokia will surprise many. However, I really do wish they had gone with Meego instead, but thats just me. It probably makes more sense to go with WP7 when you know the details of the deal theyve made with Microsoft, and how they plan to go about the next years.

By that alone, sure. But theres a huge difference in resources used between Android and Meego though, I would assume. So battery life will be slightly harder to measure than that, no?

I just got an N9 optus branded, Australian meego phone yesterday. I am not a developer, don't know how to code and haven't done any of my own hacks.

But, I would like with anyone with some knowledge on the subject make a rom/firmware dump for anyone who is interested. :D

I haven't been able to find a whole lot in the rest of XDA about meego, so hence the post.

Anyone want to help me out? I may learn something in the process too.:)

Apart from Delvik cache, which N9 will probably never see. The full fledged Linux OS is a big deal, but alas this device has no real future as such there no point in making software for it, no matter how easy and fun it can be with QT.

It's a shame really, I really love the OS, but I understand it's a pipe dream.

Dalvik cache is the saving grace it needs.

Hi guys,

I try unsuccessfully to install rom CM7 on my Motorola Defy.

I rooted the phone and used SndInitDefy 1.4.2 to install the CWM recovery version 2.5.1.8.

On the CWM recovery, when I choose "install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from sd card", i get this message:

e: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/clock/mmcnlk0)
not such file or directory
e: can't mount /sdcard

I tried it with 2 different sd cards. Of course the computer and the phone (when its on) recognize the cards as well.

What am I doin wrong?

thanks for your help.

A new problem:so I burn with rsd a new firmware: this.

I successfully mount the sd card and install the cm7 rom.

When I rebooted my phone, I had the cm7 welcome screen and...that's all. I only have the welcome screen with the circle and the rotating arrow. it stuck. I can't turn off the phone or enter again to recovery, even when I take off the battery and turn on again.

Please, what could I do to fix it?

BLN seems to be a waste of battery to me. But i believe that the Glitch kernel has BLN. If it doesn't, check the other CM7 vibrant kernels' feature lists. One of them probably has it..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jodajen2:
I just took the plunge in to sd android on my TMOUSA HTC HD2.

I am using AmeriCanAndroid all stock HD2.

Previously I was able to tether to a vista laptop with wm6.5 fine. I am trying to use the wifi tether on the the android side now.

My goal is to tether to a unrooted Acer A500 Iconia. I am not sure if it is possible. I have read a ton and can't seem to find a clear answer to this problem. Several people talk about rooting the A500 so it can see a ad-hoc wifi tether. Unless I misunderstood I also read that a rooted android phone could be a real wifi hotspot not just an ad-hoc connection. I am not sure if I am mistaken or not. If someone could clear this up it would be great.

I am not sure if I am doing the tethering correctly on android. I setup the tethering with a SSID, encryption and the like. the A500 sees the wifi SSID but can't seem to obtain a IP address.

The odd thing is that when I start the wifi tether the yellow wifi icon starts in the top right corner of the phone. Then another wifi looking icon starts next to it. it says tethering and wifi hot spot. I have tried using it also but the system locks and reboots. if I don't mess with the second tethering and wife hotspot it doesn't reboot, but i still can't connect.

The strange thing is that the main tethering lets me setup SSID and the like but the tethering and wife hotspot will let me setup a different SSID. I am not sure why they aren't connected.

I thought this all had to do with the unrooted A500 but I tried the same windows laptop that I had tethered to with wm6.5 and it can see the wifi on the phone but can't connect.

Thanks for any ideas.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deosneos:
I have been using several sense(leedroid, rcmix, reflex) and source ROMs(oxygen, CM) over the last few months. Now for me, I consistently get battery life that is about twice as good with a sense ROM. However, I don't really need or want sense ROMs, as they are pretty huge and app2sd is preferable for even a modest amount of apps.

So I was wondering: is there a rom out there that strips all the sense apps, but keeps the battery efficient kernel, with a custom HBOOT to get the huge /data partition? Leedroid 2.5.0 seems to have a version without rosie, but as I gather the rest is still there and there's no custom HBOOT. Also, I would prefer a gingerbread kernel if at all possible.

If there is no such ROM, how would I set about making one? Just take a flashable zip, take out the apps and give it a whirl?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Which battery efficient kernel do you mean?

No rom comes with a custom hboot, you have to flash one yourself:

http://alpharev.nl
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deosneos:
That I am aware of. What I'm saying is that overall, sense kernels seem to give me better battery life. So I would be looking for a stripped down sense rom (no rosie, no sense apps, just the kernel and standard android) and an HBOOT to match, such as with oxygen rom and oxygen HBOOT (which is what I have right now, but the battery life just isn't the same as on a sense rom).

does anybody know how turn on 3D mode on a Google Maps app (if its possible ofcourse)?

I've been checking settings but did not see any option option which would allow me to turn 3D mode on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] liorry:
Nothing to turn on, it's automatic.

The problem is it only works in specific locations and when you're zoomed close enough.

To test it, go to 5th avenue, New York, USA. zoom close and then you'll see the 3D buildings. use 2 fingers to slide from top to bottom to change perspective.

BTW, for real 3D, use Google Earth.
