Known Issues / Errata

MeeGo System

Resources may take ~3 min to load after booting up the device. We recommend suspending rather than powering down.
Some resources may come pre-loaded on "My First Activity". They can be deleted safely.
Resouces added on any activity may be added to "my first activity" as well. They can be deleted safely.
Date and time settings: adjusting date and time requires root privileges.
Double tapping on some text fields may be required to get the virtual keyboard.
The contextual menu "send by email" doesn't work. "Could not launch the mail client." Bug 283420

MeeGo Multimedia

Audio is muted by default. Tap on the speaker icon—on the left side of the top bar—to adjust volume.
The Bangarang multimedia player plays only sound not images, after touching pause and then play. Bug 283091. Workaround: close Bangarang and open it again.
Missing support for AVI, MPEG, DIVX, MOV and MP3. Bangarang will crash by trying to play those formats.
