== Bugs in 0.16testing6 ==
 
-
* [N810] Produces non-bootable N810: "sudo ./flasher-3.5 -k mer-armel-n8x0-flashrootfs-v0.16testing6.zImage -r mer-armel-n8x0-image-v0.16testing6.jffs2 -f -R"
 
-
 
-
* [SmartQ5] Bluetooth does not work - hciconfig simply returns
 
-
 
-
* [SmartQ5] has the flicker too and man is it annoying.
 
-
** workaround: rename /etc/init.d/ondemand
 
-
 
-
* [SmartQ7] after a while the screen (and/or backlight?) begins to flicker , image quality is decreased, touchscreen respond is slower (occured after starting nm-applet, opening mer menu, waiting a while after bootup)
 
-
 
-
* [SmartQ7] Keyboard doesn't have BackSpace, Return, Tab and some other symbols on buttons, but buttons works fine.
 
-
 
-
* [SmartQ7] During setup, sometimes virtual keyboard doesn't starts.
 
-
 
-
* [SmartQ7] During setup, virtual keyboard or scrollbars freeze and lock system
 
-
 
-
* [Nokia 770] Worked fine on first boot, after reboot/power cycle the device hangs with Mer desktop wallpaper and nothing else on screen (battery removal required). DCC: this happened to me on the third boot, fourth is OK, Maybe linked to booting with or without power cable (without works fine)
 
-
 
-
* [N800] Options in settings do nothing.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] When editing network connections (menu-> network settings ->edit connections), the network manager essentially stalled, and the window labeled Network Connections could not be closed.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] No file manager (bug?)
 
-
 
-
* [N800] Keyboard in landscape mode is missing labels for the following keys: Menu (bottom-left), DEL (top-right), enter (2nd from top on right), and minimize (bottom-right). Shift and Lock keys only show Shi and Loc respectively.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] The default weather gadget's sun (is it really sunny in Helsinki) is transparent and only visible when the applet is dragged.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] Pressing shift on the keyboard is very unresponsive compared to pressing other keys.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] Brightness is weak on 1st time boot, at the end of it, the screen lit up, but after login, dim again (it seens to flick a little too). Bright control icon on home screen does nothing. (is there a workaround?) update: this was caused by turning on the device with power cable attach´d. Otherwise works ok!
 
-
 
-
* [N800] Yet no "Locale" for Brazil.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] Rotating the screen via brightness/volume home icon just change the place where i should press the menu buttons, but do not rotate the screen itself. It causes to some menu buttons, like bright/volume, be outside the touchscreen limit, making impossible to change back without a hard reset.
 
-
 
-
:* [N800] (DUPLICATE) When switching to portrait mode using the sound/brightness gadget, the only change on the display is part of the previous open window. Tapping the non-existent region on the far-left (now "top") of the screen demonstrates the app menu can be opened, and the farthest "right" button (actually top) is the network manager. If rotate 180 degress (from default settings), screen doesn't change at all, while all menu items are available where they "should" be. Pull down menus from these items appear normal orientation, but input is still flipped.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] Turning on the device with power cable, after the boot, removing it causes the system to auto shutdown.
 
-
 
-
* [N800] gconf-editor and x-chat could not be installed: missing maemo-select-menu-location even in red pill mode
 
-
 
-
* [N800] maemopad could not be installed: missing libhildonhelp0 >= 2.0.5-1 even in red pill mode
 
-
 
-
* [N800] pidgin do not created a link on launcher "extras" menu, only a line
 
-
 
-
* [N800] No sound (or at least no system sounds and no programs I found to test sound with)
 
-
 
-
 
-
fixed in this release:
 
-
* [N800] Wi-fi Network WPA error FIXED in this release!
 
-
* [N800] Power Off button, displays WORKING normal options such as reset, turn off, lock device, etc..
 
-
* [N800] Tear works well (except generic button icons in option manager; no javascript).
