Hi list, (sorry, if the information in this mail comes doubled - I sent it first using a wrong sender email address. In case it is unlocked by some admin: apologies :-) )
I'd like to use this thread to add some problems I found so far. I won't repeat the ones I encountered which were already reported by others. But let me start with some plaudit (and here I allow myself to repeat the positive statements from others)! * The battery life is sooo much better. Standby for almost 2 days is now possible. That looks like the right way to go! * GPRS is now (most of the time ;-) ) working! I can - albeit slow - now surf on my Freerunner. * Sending SMS and calling seems to work. (Problems mentioned by other apply to me too (Echo, no ring tone, etc.) ) So thank you Trolls! (Always complaining without saying thank you is not very diplomatic, I think, right? *g* ) Now, let me outline my "new" problems. * I'm not sure, if it was mentioned somewhere on the list. Just for completeness: the echo-problem applies to me. The other end hears its own voice. * QtExtended (using the mw-kernel incl. modules) insists that I do not have a SIM card... "System Info", the application "SIM applications" and even the settings when I try to change my "Call Options" moan about a missing one. (I have an obviously working O2-3G-card from Germany.) When I choose a contact out of the dialer application, some kind of text box pops up with the title "Phone Number" and the word "No" as single content. Only a non-functional "Cancel" in the button bar. The dialer then hangs, I can't do anything more in it. Pressing the AUX button brings me back to the home screen and the dialer app crashes (?) so I can restart. Dialing manually works! Also choosing a contact wihtin the address book and then selecting "Call" is a way to call out. At least it should be pulled through! (I'm happy that it isn't in this case.) ;-) * The most severe problem is not sth. as easily reproducible. I switched on my GPRS yesterday evening and choose "Always On" and "No Timeout" to let it be online over night. I want to have some XMPP-client to be always online on the phone some day. When starting the browser this morning, I switched with the AUX button to look after some notes I added into the notes application. The browser seemed to kill itself (which looks like the default reaction of applications when I press AUX :-p ). Now, the browser doesn't want to start anymore. It always complains about some internal error and closes itself (well, perhaps this is just a QtE-dialog telling me the called app segfaulted? Dunno). So I wanted to reboot to cleanse the memory. The problem now is that QtE behaves strange. The battery indicator is showing that the battery is beeing loaded. Which it isn't of course. And despite the homescreen there is a text box overlayed with the instruction to enter my PIN and unlock it. The "Unlock" button is visible but non-functional. But that's it. There is _no_ input widget to enter my pin. Just the homescreen with the overlayed text box. Nothing reacts to any input despite pressing the power button for 8+ seconds. (Taking out the battery and waiting a few seconds didn't change anything.) I can still ssh into the FR in this state if I connect the USB cable. CPU is bored (load under 0.1) so at least there is nothing running amok. Phew, sorry for that long post. But I hope the long descriptions make it easier to understand what I want to describe in my clumsy english. ;-) Have a nice day, Marcel _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
