Another video for you N9 owners looking to do some DIY fixing for your Nokia N9. This time, it’s about changing the screen. This would void your warranty and you may break your device so attempt at your own risk. This is not advised, but if ever you would need some help on how to [...]
Wahey! Got a short break after today’s exam and my next appointment and noticed something you guys will enjoy. Some of our readers have been requesting a detailed disassembly of the Nokia N9. Many were hoping it would be conducted by by LE55ONS as we’ve seen plenty of his very helpful tear downs and rebuilds. Check it out [...]
Just a minor heads-up- the recently released unofficial whatsapp client for Meego has gotten it’s first Update mostly fixing some minor bugs that users would face while signing in. Changelog includes: Added support for displaying received Emoji Fixed interpreting login failure as a connection error, resulting in reconnect loop then segmentation fault Fixed crash during sync because of [...]
I said one a week, so am pushing this back a week. This is just awesome! I’ve used AccuWeather since I first got my N9, mainly as it integrated with the Events screen. I had tried MeeCast, and really liked the UI, but the integration with Events screen made AccuWeather the better option. For some [...]
The wait is over, go download it now! http://www.wazapp.im/ Nothing else to add really. Update: I felt bad about calling those two sentences a post so I’d just like to add that unfortunately I won’t be able to try this out until my #SmartPhoneLiteWeek is over; so enjoy.
Here is a demo of the Face Unlock app, Facelock for Nokia N9. This isn’t new to Nokias – at least 2 Nokia Worlds ago I remember this app winning the dev contest for this idea and implementation. I’m not sure how this will work with pictures, if like ICS on Android it might be [...]
I know, the name is pathetic. If you have a better idea, let me know. Anyway, so I’ve brought to your attention an app called Home Screen Settings. It is truly the greatest home screen hacking tool out! Currently, it can; Unlock/Lock devices orientation Remove the weather widget from events view Show only white text [...]
Its been way too long since my last N9Apps post. I am going to try to do at least one a week. Now today’s app is called Easy Answer. It’s another one of those apps that just makes the N9 easier to use. What does it do? It runs in the background (if enabled) to [...]
Over at GSM Arena, they’re looking at the new BB10 screenshots and reckon it looks like the N9 Swipe UI. It kinda looks like Samsung tried to touchwiz-up Swipe UI :/ By the looks of it the new OS looks and behaves very much like the Swipe UI found on the MeeGo-running Nokia N9. Here [...]
Hero to many Nokia fans, Anssi Vanjoki who left Nokia after not being given the job as CEO was interviewed posted at tietoviikko.fi. The translator as usual mangled the Finnish translation (well any translation to English really) but the gist I got was that he’s still extremely happy with the N9, calling it the best he’s [...]
This post should be filed under the “Informal” part of this blog; as there’s absolutely no news involved here; just a really cool photo/ It’s simply just a Jigsaw puzzle showing off all 3 Homescreens of Meego, a pretty detailed jigsaw as it is (notice the time/status on each homescreen). Anyways just thought it was worth a [...]
Another update to the Nitdroid ICS project for N9, this time getting initial voice calls. As the title of the video says, this is a work in progress. Short demo of today’s achivements. Voice calls — WIP; no microphone yet. by drunkdebugger
For quite a few N9 users, Ubuntu is the main OS on their PC. Now, thanks to a member of the Ubuntu One team, an unofficial version of the cloud storage system is now available on our Harmattan devices. It is developed in QML and is quite slick for the little bit that I used [...]
Apologies that I missed this the first time around when it was shared a couple of days ago. My schedule is getting rather busy all over again. Anyway, as you can see from incognito’s screenshot, he now has FireFox mobile 12 on his Nokia N9. Timo says this is available at Nokia Store and incognito [...]
There’s an update to Nitdroid for Nokia N9. Quite a lot of things shifted to the ‘working’ section since I was last looking at the project. Working: – based on Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) v 4.0.4_r1.2 (IMM76I) – Google Applications (GApps), PlayStore (Android Market) – dualboot kernel (without reflashing), ability to choose OS after power [...]
Apologies in the large gap between the last comparison and this one; but I’ve been swamped with midterms and now finals in a couple of weeks, so many things going on so little time to nap. Anyways today’s comparison is basically a look at the preloaded functions and capabilities of each device when it comes down to random everyday things that [...]
Take this with a pinch of salt as it’s just a rumour. However, it’s not exactly far fetched. http://bestmeego.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/pr-13-nokia-n9.html It is mentioned that the Nokia N9 may get a new update before the end of June – PR1.3 with a lot of surprises to the system. A Nokia official did previously hint this would [...]
Here’s a video from Nokia demonstrating a 3 year project in the Imperial War Museum, Cambridge. This project uses something called TV ‘white spaces’ for indoor positioning. This particular technology is not yet ready to go mobile, as you need a small suitcase for the radio. However, there are many other possible implementations for indoor [...]
Nokia Public Transport Beta is now available for the Nokia N9. Seems to be a pretty cool app, though not something I’ve tried either on N9 or any other phone yet. https://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-public-transport-for-nokia-n9 Beta labs info Commute with confidence. Put detailed local public transport information at your fingertips for 460 cities in 46 countries. With just [...]
lmiked shared these screenshots with us detailing experiences with overclocking the N9. It’s in two parts as this was mailed directly from the N9 and apparently there was a 5MB limit. 1350MHz seems to be the sweet spot, stable and fast. Anything above might cause problems. Note, overclock at your own risk. It is not [...]
Do you remember those funky wallpapers for the Nokia N9 as seen in the brandbook? http://brandbook.nokia.com/blog/view/item66127 You can see those artwork at the exhibition, filmed below. The middle one is my current wallpaper. I’d love that as a print/poster. You can actually find a high resolution version here: http://www.genevievegauckler.com/Smartphone-wallpaper During 2011 we had [...]
