Hello Openmokoers!
This is actually the reason that I got to read about the openmoko, I
read an article about mobile phones being bug-able some time ago and
googled for an open linux phone. And I found the openmoko ;)
Just a quick question, what the police are doing, described in the
article, is this only software or can that be done with only the gsm
chip or so? My question is actually: Is the neo protected against this
kind of bugging or not? It's not that I'm a terrorist or so but I just
don't feel very safe otherwise ;)
I haven't read the above article.
I assume it's commenting on the possibility of vendor specific commands
to turn the phone on as a bug remotely.
In principle it's possible that TI has hidden this functionality in the
GSM modem.
However, the modem only has its only mic and speaker connections brought
out to a software controllable mixer, so even if they were able to turn
it on, nothing would happen - other than more power being used.
