I also haven't opened the phone so don't have any idea how difficult opening the RF cage is.On a related note, the fix for #1024 and the bass boost as well as the shorting of the erroneous capacitor[1] (if present) would be a welcome addition to the Buzz fix. It seems a reasonable amount of effort to send the phone and it would make sense to do as much as possible on this one trip. Could someone with hardware skills explain the various fixes to the guy who is doing the fixes ?I am no hardware guy, in fact I haven't even opened up my phone beyond the battery case yet...not that I see some risk...just that I don't see any reason to do that. Anyways, for bass fix there is a wiki page (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_bass_fix) which suggests more that one way of fixing the issue with pros and cons For bug#1024, the only nice link I got was http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/hardware/2009-May/001192.htmlI think the descriptions are pretty well written but then thats my perspective who hasn't ever used a solder iron. Anyone with more experience please jump in. --Vikas But once past that, I'd prefer replacing the Capacitor with a higher capacity one instead of adding another in parallel. I believe extra wires inside the RF cage can have unintended side-effects. -- Vibhav |
