View 7 Repliesi have a bluesocket connection in my university that requires a username and password and the first time i opened my browser i was asked to accept the certificate this is usual i also get this on the desktop browser. so i added the certificate as an exception and was directed to the bluesocket page where i was able to enter my username and password and hence then when ever i open my browser and try to open a link my n900 restarts. it has happened when i tried to install applications as well. what do u think the problem is....is it a certificate issue or a browser issue or a phone issue can anyone help me please. if you need any logs please do ask with instructions on how to get them.

Actually it will rotate the first time it's used after restarting the phone but any time I use it after that it is stuck in portrait mode. This seems to be new as of today but not sure.

View 14 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to change the default font of the MicroB Browser on N900? I would like to change it to "Droid Sans Bold" to make it easier on my eye, or at least change it to a larger font so I can see better. I looked at the ./.mozilla/microb/prefs.js file. It has nothing related to the font per se. I also experimented on changing the about:config but no avail. I don't know which font parameters (fix, variable and unicode) for U.S.A.

View 6 Replies View RelatedNokia has me back as a loyal customer again after my debacle with the Nokia N97. I noticed three things that I thought are fairly critical, that are missing, all related to the phone part of the N900.
1) In my E61 and the N97, one could while in a call, choose a contact from the contact list and send number as DTMF, this feature is particularly useful when using calling cards, which I do
2) From the call log of both the E61 and N97 you could choose an entry and edit the number before calling, helpful sometimes when roaming and the incoming number comes with an odd prefix because of odd carrier routing of the call
3) In Contacts, is there no field for Middle Name?
I have tried a fair bit of searching on this and other sites, oddly couldn't find anything on these, any one have any thoughts?

When I plug my phone into the PC and try to synchronise the new phone to my PC. (I run Windsow 7 and trying to sync Outlook 2007 Calendar and Contacts). I keep getting the message "The connected device is not supported by PC Sync". I feel like I've stepped back intot he dark ages... And I can not download music or pictures to the phone either. i have not been abvle to do a single thing on this phone and just about ready to give up! I have been talking almost daily to the Nokia Tech Support department who say they are going to refer the problem to more senior development people - and are now challenging me that I don't know what I'm talking about - and call me back during the day when I am not at home!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI bought an N900 yesterday and during install, the thing went down although it was plugged in. I let it down and tried to load the battery all night long. This morning, I rebooted but it kept freezing on the 5 well known dots.
I searched how to flash the N900 and succeeded in it. Problem is that, as soon as it's booted, it reboots right away.Can it be that the battery is dead? After loading a whole night long, the battery should be fully charged, no?Also: if the battery is broken, it doesn't give current through to the machine, is that possible?
Remark: sometimes the device says "internal application error: camera application closed". But that only happens once in a while and I guess it is due to all the previous reboots it did...

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been deciding lately on whether or not I want to make the final push to the N900, but can't fully decide.I've been looking particularly for phones that are able to run on the T-Mobile's USA 3G network, 1700, yet at the same time have a slide out qwerty keyboard. After months of deciding and debating, I still can't fully decide on where I'd like to be exactly as I've gotten so many mixed reviews from both sides, in terms of user experience.
For example, some of the flaws I hear for the N900 are - it's mainly built as an internet tablet, not a phone, so don't expect to be able to rely on it fully. I don't know how stable the N900 is as of right now, but I'm hoping to hear good things about it. Part of the biggest gripe to which I have with my current phone, is that being touch screen only, it locks up or lags occasionally when I want to make a phone call or send a text message - and that's something I'm hoping dearly, dearly to avoid when I purchase a new phone. As for apps and things similar, I don't expect much and I don't need much as well. Having used an Android/Apple phone in the past, I didn't find myself downloading apps constantly. Instead, I found myself deleting them more, being content with the few that I had.
Another thing that I've heard about the N900 is that there is no portrait mode, yet from everyone that I've talked to, they've said that it's most likely something that's going to be on the way. That's something that I'm a bit curious to as well, since I have not gotten any real, definitive answers that can firmly state that this is true. Everything that I've heard so far only sounds like it's the conclusion of the typical rumor and speculation.
To sum it all up, by purchasing the N900 I'm hoping to experience a stable OS, which means stable phone capabilities along with internet browsing. I've been eyeing the Nexus One for quite a while now considering it's 1GHz Snapdragon processor, but the issues with the bottom screen buttons and lack of physical keypads have kept me on the edge. I do understand that Nokia also has a new phone coming out sometime soon which is suppose to redesign the way Symbian is, so my options are open. What I'd like to know from you N900 users, however, is do you think the N900 lives up to the standards? Or should I just wait and look elsewhere?
For those that believe that I should be looking for a "real" phone instead; my current phone that runs Android was designed to do so, yet I find myself browsing the web, etc., more than I do making phone calls. I'd like to elaborate more within this area, but forgive me as it's late right now and the detail are slipping my mind. I'd be more than happy to provide more tomorrow morning.
i appreciate all the time and honest feedback you contribute to this, and forgive me if I sound a bit demanding or others as it is 4AM where I am now, and I am trying to put all my thoughts down, straight to the point. I am choosing to write this now because I am in dire need of a new phone soon, since the one that I have right now is purely and currently unreliable in terms of making phone calls performance wise (lag, long delays, etc.) .Anything else you would like to add in terms of what you think may help benefit me in a decision will also be gladly appreciated.

I received a txt message from vodafone back in june that said to restart the phone to receive updated vodafone sime menu service. I dont know if it worked because i'm not sure where the sim menu is on the n900 but i'm curious if this is what has introduced the menu options above.
I should mention at this point that when i was in the US earlier this year, i was able to stop my phone looking for a gsm signal and concentrate on wifi only. Now i can't seem to find an option to turn of gsm. When selecting the network from the phone menu, i only get Dual, 3G and GSM.i don't get the wifi option anymore, hence me asking if this operator lock has interfered with it.Has anyone else got this and if it wasn't vodaphone, what is this operator lock?

2- Also installed nokia map loader version 3.0
Now all is fine. Isn't it? So they said first start nokia map application till it load completely then close it. I did. Then connect ur phone on PC SUIT MODE and also I did that. Then all I get on nokia map loader app is "Waiting for the phone" thats it and phone already connected I tried in both modes pc suit and mass storage but still the same "Waiting for the phone" and I am waiting too.
Just wondering if anyone else has tried using the (new) Nokia Map Loader with the N900? According to http://maemo-freak.com/index.php/miscellaneous/1379-map-loader-for-maemo-devices-announced this new version should work with the N900 but it fails on both my Win7 and WinXP machines (both 32-bit). Amusingly, the Nokia web site specifically says to use Mass Storage Mode if you're using an N900 so I obediently did so, but then the software itself told me I must use PC Suite mode so I gave that a go and it failed too. I have run Ovi Maps on the device several times so I know the directories are there, it just seems a shambles.

After waiting 2 months for the phone after preordering it in October it seems like things are moving slowly in the development of the phone, correct me if im wrong but there's no mms, no navigation on ovi maps, you can't use the latest PC suite and the biggest bugbear is no music store. Hopefully these things will become available in the not so distant future... maybe im just too impatient!
