To whom this may concern... I've been using my FreeRunner for some time now, and although some points keep irking me (esp. sound and accelerometers after suspend/resume), it's more and more a daily phone. Except for the buzz.
The last few days, people have constantly complained about a loud, high-pitched noise when I call them. I presume it's the 'ahrdware buzz' we're talking about here. I am unable to do the hardware fix for this, myself, and I find it troublesome to go somewhere and get my (still expensive!) phone 'fixed'. I'd rather have an OpenMoko (or FIC) engineer fix this for me, but shipping would be prohibitively expensive, I guess. Here's a thought... on Februari 7th and 8th there will be the Fosdem event, in Brussels, Belgium. Would it be possible to send someone over with an SMD soldering iron, a boatload of capacitors and other stuff needed to do the SD-card cap and buzz cap fix? I'd gladly pay a couple of euro's (10? 20?) to get this fixed in a way that I know it will be done correctly. If enough geeks show up with their phones, paying 10 or 20 euro... I have no idea how many phones were sold in Europe, and how much time it takes to do the fix, so I can't calculate costs vs. money, but perhaps this would be a way to help us users from 'far away'. Thoughts?
