Should this go as a page under Community Office/Community device program/Nokia?

Introduction

Lots of developers will be transitioning from an N900 to an N950 as their primary device as part of the device programme. This transition allows people to get a feel for Harmattan and work out what itches they need to scratch.

The following is a small list of points which helped the author(s) get started. It is not indicative of steps necessary on the N9, and is based on the initial steps taken by the author when he received his pre-production, developer device.

Events feed

1.2011.22-6 is a pre-production, developer edition. It only has Facebook integration for chat and events, no Google Talk or Twitter.

Contacts

Some N900s are unreliable with Bluetooth connections. To transfer all the contacts from your N900 to your Harmattan device, including avatars:

  • Delete any Facebook accounts on your Harmattan device
  • Delete all contacts
  • Do not try to use the "sync your phone" feature from the N950 (if you've tried it, delete the channel on both the N950 and N900)
  • N900: go to Settings > Transfer & sync > New. Define a new send-only, contacts-only channel to the N950 (which should have Bluetooth switched on and visible)

Syncing multiple Google Calendars

This Harmattan build supports multiple Mail for Exchange and multiple CalDAV accounts. For Google Calendar:

  • Go to Accounts > Add accounts > CalDAV
  • Username should be your full Google Calendar username (e.g. jbloggs@gmail.com) and password.
  • The URL is:
    • For your primary calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/
    • For other calendars: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/uuid@group.calendar.google.com/

The uuid can be found on the calendar settings page within Google Calendar, and is a long string of characters & numbers.
The trailing slashes are crucial for Google.

  • The primary calendar claimed to sync, but no events showed up. So I deleted the CalDAV entry for my primary calendar and set up Mail for Exchange:
    • Username is your full Google Calendar username and password
    • Server: m.google.com

Map loader

Maps contains a Manage Maps feature which downloads, but doesn't expand. It is possible to do it manually, though:

  1. Connect your device as USB mass storage
  2. Open cities/MapLoader/catalog-....xml
  3. Find the region you want to download
  4. Take the Link element and append it to http://static.s2g.gate5.de/map5/. For example, the UK maps are at http://static.s2g.gate5.de/map5/maploaderzip-00.02.42.122/48210.zip
  5. Copy the contents of the zip file to cities/diskcache/
