Firefox4 no automatic internet connection?

Hi everybody,

I'm quite happy with the new Firefox4 on the n900, while one thing I
find very unpleasent: I have to build up internet connection manually
because FF won't initiate this like MicroB or Opera does.

Is there a way to make FF4 behave this way too?

Cu Michael

Re: Using phone as modem

For the benefit of any search engines or other curious entities, I solved 
this. Sort of. Fedora 9 with the Nokia E71 phone "just worked" using the 
USB cable (which I'd left at home) using Gnome Networkmanager.
Over Bluetooth, that was ignored but I could use rfcomm to talk to the 
modem and then pppd with chat to establish a connection, same as for my 
old phone with cable. My N810 uses ATD*99***1# but ATD*99# works fine; I 
guess a cid of 1 is the default.

I didn't manage to get it to work under Windows; the Nokia OVI suite 
contains a big list of APNs and dial codes for hundreds of cellular 
networks around the world, including Rogers, but failed to connect for 
some reason even though it appeared to use the same settings as worked on 
Linux. I see that they now have a separate APN for "tethering", though 
the "internet.com" APN still works for my N810 and laptop.

Somewhat documented at http://andrew.daviel.org/nokiaE71-linux.html

I haven't tried talking to the modem directly from the N810; a while ago 
with my old phone I found I could get signal strength and cell ID from 
the phone and used that to make a map, basically just for fun.

Yes.

Definitely not that, the only time I ever remove my cover is to change
the card when I buy a new one, and I fully shutdown the phone first
before doing so. My USB port still works, so I don't need to remove
the battery on a regular basis.

I would never do that. I rarely make or receive phone calls. I just
checked call logs on my N900 and I have 6 calls since 1st of January.

I thought of another test, I attached the troublesome microSD card to
my N900 with a USB card reader,  using power kernel and USB Hostmode
Enabler. This way, it works perfectly, all tests finish with no
errors! The card reader is mounted with USB mass storage driver.

So now I really think it might be some problem with the SD/MMC driver
in N900. Or a physical defect with the card slot hardware.

In N900 service manual it says the SD card slot operates at 48MHz but
I've read that high-speed SD cards should use 50MHz instead. I don't
know how to tell what's actually in use.

Sorry I do not have an answer to your question.
I just removed FF4 from my N900.  It was terribly slow and took a long time to load.

I had the same issue. In my case it was because of FF Sync. It looks
like the first time takes ages and FF becomes slow as hell.
I removed my Sync credentials and it became quite fast even with
multiple tabs open.
I re-inserted them and let it sync. It was a bit slower, but not so much.

As much as I'd love to stick to FFM as I use it a lot on my desktop, I
think I prefer the internal MicroB or Opera Mobile (it's amazingly
fast and runs on my E7 as well! And also runs, and again fast, even on
the N810 with diablo)

N900 & MeeGo

Hi All, 


   A while ago there was an announcement that MeeGo was going to have a kind of special support for N900 (I think for developers and power users).

   I just wanted to know if anyone has any Idea of that progress. I would like to have MeeGo completely installed in my N900, before I buy the N0 :-)


Any one has the MeeGo OS installed on their N900? Is it working for calls and Internet access?

Hi Francisco,

Last time I tried MeeGo on my N900 a few weeks ago it was completely
unusable for any purpose, even clicking on screen didn't work right.
But that was before DE announcement, and watching some recent Youtube
videos it seems things have improved a lot, or maybe other people have
more skill than me at getting it to work...

Here's video of a recent build of MeeGo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1po23AuXKns

MeeGo 1.2 release should be at the end of April, and I guess the N900
DE version will continue with weekly builds improving upon that 1.2
release base.
