No option for Full or Limited character support in SMS

Posted on 2010-01-02 12:38 UTC by Iker Rodriguez. Status: Waiting

SOFTWARE VERSION:
1.2009.42-11

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
1. Tap on Menu > Conversations > New SMS
2. Tap on plain field for the virtual keyboard to appear
3. Select Greek
4. Type in Greek uppercase or lowercase
(Greek language should be activated in N900's settings for the virtual keyboard
first)

EXPECTED OUTCOME: Virtually transform the message to uppercase and send it as
one of 160 characters

ACTUAL OUTCOME: Sends multiple messages of 70 characters

REPRODUCIBILITY: always

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: none that could affect the issue

OTHER COMMENTS: This problem existed in previous Nokia devices, until Nokia
activated the option of "Limited character support". For example, in a previous
phone such as N97, you could select Limited or Full in characters support, in
messaging settings. When you select Limited the phone virtually transforms
Greek to uppercase characters and every message contains 160 characters. This
option is NOT available in N900.

Need an "offline" GPS tracking application (N900)

Posted on 2010-01-14 20:17 UTC by Patrick Moslley. Status: Waiting, Categories: Location & Navigation.

I am looking with some help to modify or create a program like eCoach that is able to track your path/position on a map.  I want to use it for off road mountain biking, I am very curious to see what my path looks like on a map and to see how far/fast and how long it took.

Call Rejector- Developers Needed

Posted on 2010-01-11 23:01 UTC by Robert Hall. Status: Waiting, Categories: Desktop, Utilities, System, Programming.

Call Rejector
a simple call rejector application which rejects calls listed by the user.
1. allow list - when active only calls from the listed numbers will be allowed.
2. reject list - all calls are allowed EXCEPT the ones listed in "reject list"
3. auto reject unknown numbers - numbers not stored in the users contacts are auto rejected. (option to turn this feature off)
4. private numbers - private numbers are auto rejected (option to turn this feature off)

the application will be similar/a replica of HandyBlacklist for the S60 platform.

Future Improvements - SMS/MMS rejection following the same examples/options as above.

 

Im not a developer but would be keen on going through the process to help with develpment.

N900 used as wireless headphones

Posted on 2010-01-13 09:41 UTC by Roberto Guerra. Status: Waiting, Categories: Media.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40255

I often use headphones when watching movies because I don't want to wake up my little son, and I bought those big wireless headphones.
The idea is to use the phone as bluetooth (or wifi?) receiver for audio played on a desktop pc. It would be great to, for example:

1) control the mediaplayer on the pc
2) pause in case of incoming calls
3) pause when you move too much far
and so on.

following the steps described in: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices i get:

mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth mymovie.avi
...
...
...
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: audio/pcm_bluetooth.c:1607frown.gifaudioservice_expect) BT_GET_CAPABILITIES failed : Input/output error(5)
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Input/output error
Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=bluetooth'
...
...
...
First of all, is this possible?
