Fixes
APP Market Fix
- Open the Market app (from the Home screen or app launcher)
- Leaving the Market app running, return to the Home screen and open the Settings app again
- Within Settings select Applications → Manage applications → Running (from Tab at top)
- Scroll to select the Market app → press the Clear Cache button → then press the Force Stop button (Do not press the Clear Data button)
- Press the back button (to go back to the list of running apps)
- Scroll to select Google Services Framework → press the Clear Data button → OK (to confirm) → then press the Force Stop button
- Return to the Home screen
- Launch the Market app again, which will give an error "Attention an error has occurred..." → OK button
- Shutdown by holding power button → Power Off → OK
- Restart, wait for wi-fi to reconnect, open Market again (You may have to reboot several times and check Market)
The opening Market screen should no longer be blank, and many more apps (free & paid) should now be available. (Although apps can be downloaded, some may still fail to install or run properly)
WIFI Fix (rare cases)
Change the encryption from WPA2 to WPA from your Wireless Access Point. This is a compatibility issue hopefully going to be fixed in later releases.
Airplane Mode Fix
For people who enabled airplane mode, fixes are here:
- Enable the widget power control and turn airplane mode off
- If this didn't work disable pin code in maemo
-
menu→devtools→terminal emulator
su rr
-
The technical solution:
cd /and/data rm -rf * mkdir logs chmod 777 logs cd / umount /and
Google account sign-in
Skip google sign-up in the first tutorial instead, sign up/in google once in NITDroid.
