Known Issues / Errata

MeeGo System

Updating from Plasma Active 1.0 to Plasma Active 2.0 is NOT supported due to changes in configuration files.
Booting up for the first time takes some time. Before the startup of Plasma Active, you will see a black screen with a cursor. Please wait until Plasma Active is completely loaded.
Creating a second or third extra activity makes plasma-device crash (bug #288972)
Tapping on the shutdown button may not work on first boot (verified on a Wetab 3G model). If that's the case, please reboot the system by following these steps: open Konsole and run reboot as root. This may halt your device, so you have to press the power button for 10 seconds in order to turn it off and a second time to turn it on (a complete reboot).
Bookmarks' icons on bookmarks boxes may change to text file icons.
Tapping on bookmarks shown on the recommendations overlay adds them to a document box instead of bookmarks one. Tapping on those that have been added works as expected (opens active-webbrowser).
The back button of the Active Image Viewer doesn't always take you to image grid, but to another image. Workaround: Tap on it another time.
My First Activity's thumbnail on the activity switcher doesn't match the actual wallpaper used on such pre-filled activity.
The virtual keyboard is not hidden after tapping on an area outside the overlay. (bug #288828.)
Cannot go back if you tap on a link in the About app. Workaround: you have to close it (bug #288082.)

MeeGo Multimedia

Audio is muted by default. Tap on the speaker icon—on the left side of the top bar—to adjust volume.
Missing support for AVI, MPEG, DIVX, MOV and MP3. Bangarang will crash by trying to play those formats.
