I can easily live with charging spare batteries on an unmodded C139. I don't store multiple contacts, or even use any phone that much, but I'd still be giving the firmware something approaching real world everyday testing. I'm clear why the other issues also need to be fixed, but fixing the display turn off will immediately give you one (at least!) everyday tester ;-) >other members of our community >can't be searching the world high and low for a surviving source at >the same time. IMO (formed from life experience totally unrelated to technology/libre phones/this project) the person most likely to have success with this is someone who has totally immersed themself in the world of the calypso. This is most unfortunate from the point of view of division of labour. Are you aware of this person? There is mention of leaked documents and firmware C source. http://www.mirider.com/Playing_with_the_GSM_RF_Interface-Dieter_Spaar.pdf Everything else a cursory search turns up is osmocombb related (which this may also be) or us(!) -- David Matthews [email protected] _______________________________________________ Community mailing list [email protected] https://www.freecalypso.org/mailman/listinfo/community
