Today I got a notification that I have an update for my Linux based android phone. The problem is that I have to use a the PCCompanion software that only runs on Windows. I have several computers but I only have Mac OSX and Linux (Ubuntu) as operating systems. How can I upgrade my Linux based phone on Linux or Mac?

Ok so its really close now to being able to see ICS on our phones, excited.But for those of us not using Windows or Mac, how can we update?Would it be possible to provide an update Rom to place on our SD cards, so enable us to update that way, as we can do with other phones?

I just need to get it updated, with a really simple task, just like in windows... click click click updated!I think linux users should be able to update their phones, without setting up a vm or even using an emulator!

However, I would like to transfer my movies also, which the mentioned program doesn't support. The normal videoprograms do not seem to recognize the phone.how to proceed?I would prefer to avoid Bluetooth, since the movies are large and a USB-cable is simply more practical for many purposes.

Linux recognizes the phone mass storage and modem out of the box where Win7 need to install drivers,without the modem driver I can't access the internet to ask question about this phone, but the phone does not come with any s/w and driver disc so I must download from internet beforehand, thanks God my netbook has Linux installed so that I can write a note complain about this!This is no Joke Nokia, N900 is the worst supported flagship phone I ever had, please at least give us a working s/w suite with your next new phone!

Another thing, it looks like Xoom-owners outside the US are treated differently, e.g. no Google ebooks are available, the Skype App is without videocall et cetera. Why? (I live in Sweden and the price I paid for my Xoom was ~$1,000).

View 6 Replies View RelatedAs the title suggests, of those who have tried out Linux Deploy (for those of you who don't know what this, Its an app that automates setting up of chroot Linux and provides a few different "graphics subsystems" vnc, xserver and framebuffer) have you managed to get framebuffer working.Seems like its largely trial and error as to getting the correct settings, I was unable to get this working using CAF Cyanogenmod. Maybe its dependent on kernel configuration, i was unable to find any reports of this working on the nexus 5.

I created a new subdirectory - (I used "local" but I dont thing the name matters"3. Using a playlist created in the Itunes subdirectory as a template, I created a playlist (which is just plain ascii text) and put the list in my "local" subdirectory. The name of the playlist file is what will be used as a playlist name. I called mine - "libtest.pls". All I did is change the path to my Music folder, change tne NumberOfEntries entry, and change the directory slashes to match the windows style.he contents of my "libtest.pls" playlist look like this - Playlist]File1=mediaMOTOACTVMusicBluesAynsley ListerTower Sessions�1 Soundman.mp3File2=mediaMOTOACTVMusicBluesDelta MoonHell Bound Train�9 - Ghost in My Guitar.mp3NumberOfEntries=2Version=2
View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought an N900 from the Nokia shop about 3 months ago. I'll be going away to (very) foreign parts next month, so I'd like to use the N900 as a tethered modem for my netbook. However when I connect the phone to the netbook via the USB cable, and choose the "PC suite" option, the phone is recognised when I use lsusb in a terminal, but the modem *is not*. Is there something in the phone settings I need to tweak, or an extra app I need to install in the phone, or is it a more fundamental flaw? Google searches for "Nokia N900" + modem + linux give pages which suggest that it should "just work", but it doesn't
If all else fails, I may have to fall back to using my previous phone (a Sony Ericsson v630i), which I *have* used successfully as a tethered modem, but I'd prefer to keep using the N900...
I have downloaded some SIS files and would like to install them on my 5630. How can I do this? Note: I cannot use the PC programs by Nokia, because they are for Windows and my computers have Linux. I tried running the Nokia PC program with "wine", but doesn't work. Can I just copy the SIS files to some place on the phone and install without PC software? I have to copy the files then?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just stumbled across this program today called anyRemote.A pretty nifty piece of software you install on your Linux computer, and an equivalent jar file for your J2ME enabled phone.Check it out at http://anyremote.sourceforge.net/ If you're using Ubuntu, you can find anyRemote in Software Center. I got it working with my SE Aino. You're presented with 12 icons on the screen, which you can press using the 12 numeric keys - or use touch if the phone supports touch, like Aino does.The 12 icons are defined in a default configuration file for each program you can control. You can edit this configuration file to define other controls as you like.

I have a LAN, with a networked printer server. This printer is set up on my Linux (Ubuntu) PCs with the CUPS printer server, and is also shared using the windows smb (Samba) protocol. I also have a wireless access point/router and can access the printer that way too.
Motoprint sees my printer, but it says that I need to use Motoprint Host to print to it. Motoprint host is a Windows program, and not useable for those not running Windows. I have a Xoom WiFi, USA

I decided to upgrade my Xperia Pro (SI 1252-5232, it´s in the list) to ICS. the Sony PC Companion sees the phone and writes an update to version 4.1.B.0.587 is possible, so i click on agree, it downloads the SW to the PC, and than it TURNS OFF THE PHONE and shows a step-by-step guide how to update (1. disconnect USB cable from phone and PC, 2. battery must be +50%, 3. turn off phone and wait 5 sec.->>???WTF? how can i turn it off when "it" turned it off itself? 4. connect USB cable to PC, 5. hold "back" key and connect phone to USB). I tried it several times, with MTP and MSC mode, disconnected it, turned off, waited 5 secs, pressed "back" and connected" maybe 5 times all the possible ways, but it simply does nothing when I press the back button and connect it, only the LED is green.
I´am doing wrong? How long should I press the back button, which phone-settings are required, where could be the error?
i got the thing on my phone about a week ago that said a new software update was available. i didnt download it then. and now when i plug my phone into my computer the PC Companion says its up to date and im at 2.1.
