Troubleshooting

This page is a collection of instructions how to repair Maemo OS if it is acting up. Steps go from mildest to the most extreme solution in order.


Check if unnecessary applications run in background

There are many ways to do this, but the easiest is to toggle task switcher and close all applications that aren't needed.

Remove possible unstable applications

If you have enabled Extras-devel -repository, you should look at the list of extras-devel programs and see if you have something installed from there.

Also other programs can intefere each other. The cause of the problems are most probably newly installed application so those should be uninstalled at inverted order: most recently installed first. After each uninstall, check if the problem disappears before uninstalling other software.

Last straw

Updating the tablet firmware is the last straw. It deletes all user data and reverts all settings to default.
