N9 Developer - Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950

RDA and 1.0/1.1

2012-03-01T10:03:35Z

Good idea about RDA, but what can I do, if on both firmwares (1.0 and 1.1) my application is working in RDA, but during publishing I got answer from QA , that on 1.0 application doesn't start?

Front camera support

2012-02-18T14:33:18Z

Release notes mentions front camera support. Does this mean video call?

re VPN

2012-02-06T11:36:27Z

Agree.

Back in November on his blog Kontorri from Nokia said VPN support would be coming soon but I haven't seen anything.

VPN :((

2012-02-05T23:52:48Z

I wish I was in this version at least VPN protocol

1.2 beta to RDA?

2012-02-01T19:34:16Z

Would it be possible that you upgrade one or more Meego device(s) in RDA to 1.2 beta? Then it would be easy for developers to test their applications.

2012-02-01T09:53:02Z

@felipechrochik: Does reflashing the device help? And if the problem persists, could you send us more exact information about the symptoms.
@helex: A fix for QML debugging will be available very soon, and indeed before the PR1.2 is generally available.

SDK update

2012-01-31T01:13:23Z

Any signs when we could expect a update for the Qt SDK 1.1.4? (to fix the broken debugging support)

Will it be before a public release of PR1.2 for the N9?

Thank you nokia.

2012-01-29T23:50:54Z

As a nokia n9 user and developer, even though you guys are switching some stuff to wp7 glad you are not leaving us out i the cold.

You just need to look back at what made Nokia the biggest player in the world in the first place.

Looking forward to it on my Nokia N9.

I must be the (unlucky) one...

2012-01-27T06:25:53Z

I reflashed the device and it became very unresponsive and then suddenly stopped and displayed a message saying that there was a problem with my phone and I should try to run the "software update" or look for a nokia care. I was able to reflash again but the phone is still very unresponsive (scrolling is really slow, pinching the screeen to change the zoom makes the screen "go out of sync", ...).
Please help...

@simonB - 5 new languages

2012-01-27T00:27:10Z

The detail is documented in the release notes, linked at the foot of the article:

http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/release/N950/Nokia_N950_PR12_Release_Notes_v02-6_en.html

Nothing mentioned about Korean fonts though.

5 new languages

2012-01-26T18:53:55Z

Hi there,

What 5 languages are these?

Also will Korean font be removed when I upgrade to H1.2? As per the N9 firmware?

On getting or not getting actual final Harmattan 1.2 for N950

2012-01-26T14:49:52Z

@tsdgeos: As stated: No promises. Next in line is the N9 release itself. Priority of N950 release depends on many factors, one being how close the final consumer release will be this beta, esp on Qt API layer. Another is our internal priorities and work amount on N9. And so on.

N950 short history has an example: We ended up sticking with Harmattan beta 2 (34-2) on N950 as it turnet out to be very close to the actual Harmattan 1.0 (34-1) on N9. Not the same but almost, and for critical parts identical. An update for N950 was pointless when comparing with effort on testing and verification, and other priorities.

3G/GSM

2012-01-26T13:59:41Z

@MilhouseVH: Thanks for the pointer
@jesperC: There has been a related internal bug fixed in PR1.2. Please do try with the 1.2 beta if you have a N950.

Feels strange that the developer device won't have real PR 1.2 since then we are basically developing with software that is not what will be on the real PR 1.2 device, not sure what's the point of that, why test your software if at the end the OS image in the phones is not the same?

@sbijjal, @MilhouseVH

2012-01-26T13:10:03Z

I have not flashed the 1.2 beta yet, I just browsed the list of fixed bugs and saw nothing that indicated that the problem with units dropping network had been addressed.

Probably related to bug #79 as MilhouseVH mentioned.

@sbijjal: Re: jesperC and 3G/GSM

2012-01-26T11:58:16Z

I'm guessing bug #79, specifically comment #20 for jesperC.

Do you have a bug on this already?

Answer to 'Non 1.2 beta'

2012-01-26T11:29:45Z

No promises yet, the next in line is the release for N9 itself.

Version 3.2012.02-6 added to bugzilla

2012-01-26T11:26:58Z

@MilhouseVH: Thank you for the appreciation. 3.2012.02-6 has been added to the Version field in bugzilla. #24 unfortunately will not be fixed for PR1.2. As for #209, thanks again for spotting this, I have updated the status in bugzilla.

Awesome release guys!

2012-01-26T06:54:38Z

It's looking amazing so far, pretty much everything is a move in the right direction - well done, and many thanks.

Nice to see images appearing in tweets and RSS items in the Feed view, that is bug #209 which hasn't been marked as Fixed in PR1.2. On the flip side, it's such a shame that bug #24 remains an apparently contentious issue to resolve, ensuring the N9[50] remains a poor tool for email communication.

I have identified a few bugs however, it might be an idea if 3.2012.02-6 could be added to the Harmattan Bugzilla so that we can assign reports to the correct Version.

Non 1.2 beta?

2012-01-26T01:07:36Z

Will there be a non beta 1.2 for the N950?

No solution to the unit's inability to switch between 3G and GSM networks

2012-01-25T19:00:05Z

OK, nice to have a new release, but it seems that I have to buy another phone anyway.

I had a quick look at the release log and found nothing indicating that the problem with the phone's inability to switch between 3G and GSM has been resolved.

Being forced to run the phone in GSM mode only to avoid having to miss incoming calls is not something that works in the long run.
