: Problem when dialing *166# to check account balance[ Edited ]

• Hello,
• I followed your instructions and constantly got the message: Unable to download...application package not found.

How do I need to proceed to also be able to check account by using the above-mentioned codes? Would appreciate your help.

THIS IS A UPDATE 1B WAS ADDED TO HELP OUT

1. First, install Rootsh v1.5 download it here http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/
    or http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Ma... to enable root access on X Terminal.

1B. download -->.deb file) put it in a folder name the folder a

               
2. Open X Terminal on the Nokia N900 (ITS IN THE APPLICATION MENU PAGE 2)
     type sudo gainroot  (Just like that) and press enter. (This will not work if you skip the        first  step)

3. Ok now type cd MyDocs/TheNameOfTheFolder
    (include the path name of the folder you made if you made a new folder.
    I made a folder and called it a) this what I had to type cd MyDocs/a (Just like that)

   and press enter

4. Ok stop while running X Terminal open the File Manger to make sure your .deb file is where

    you said it was and rename it to ussdpad (Just like that)

5. Then go back to X Terminal type dpkg -i ussdpad.deb (Just like that) and press enter
    ok you are done go to (APPLICATION MENU PAGE 2) you should see ussd pad

After reading the messages of 15 year old Belialhoxley and others with the possible solution, we tried it step for step, to no avail. Our phone kept sending the message: Application not found. Apparently because there was no connection with the Maemo server. Today we got the connection, we tried again but no succes again. Then my partner discovered that to use the ussd pad you need to download three files from: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/ussd-widget

You need to download the following .debs files:

ussd-common

pexpect and ussd-pad

 After downloading these files we kept getting the message that "Python 2.5" was missing. My partner discovered once again that Python 2.5 was used in games to be downloaded via Maemo. After downloading some of these games, it was easier to install the application. Because they had the component of the Python 2.5

Conclusion: if you do not have any computer knowledge, better not buy the Nokia N900! And if you have already bought it like myself, keep your partner in a very good mood every day! You yourself won't be able to do a lot with your beautiful N900.

For sure, one needs to be a SUPERUSER to be able to use the nokia N900. Nokia should try to come up with a all-in-one downloadable solution. I am afraid the n900 willbe a big disappointment to many nokia fans as myself. Why did they launch the n900 without fully testing it? Dialing the operator's code is one the basic things that should have been tested. Smiley "disappointed".
