Hello and welcome to OM community :) 1.) This is so-called buzzing issue. It's hardware related and in a week or so a paper explaining how to do a fix will be available. You can read about it from those links: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_Hardware_Issues http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td675090|a675090
2.) From what you've written it seems like you don't suspend your phone. What image do you use? Anyways, you have to enable autosuspend - so phone will go to sleep while not being used and wake up only on certain events - call/message/cable connected/headset connected. Without suspend phone can work only for about 8 hours or a little more. With suspend my phone can be waiting for calls for a couple of days without any problems. Battery life is for a long time not a problem anymore. Tips: try to manually suspend your phone using power button (asu/fso/shr/debian). On QtExtended if I recall correctly autosuspend is disabled by default so you have to enable it to get the most of your battery life :) Leonti On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 7:49 PM, Dave Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello folks, > > Just a few questions really to kick start me being on this list. :-) > > I received my FreeRunner about a week or so ago and have just about got > around to playing with it a bit more and actually using it.
