Thanks for reminding us about the issues that still exist. However, you should really report them as bugs so that they don't get lost and can be analyzed better.

I think this slowness is mostly due to userland. What if you 1) before suspend mute speaker 2) before suspend start aplay to play the ringtone 3) on resume check /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-resume.0/resume_reason 4) if resume reason is GSM, unmute speaker 5) if resume reason is not GSM, kill aplay and then unmute speaker instead of waiting for ogsmd to interpret what calypso has to say? > - The volume is way to low, You can really only use it indoors. That's tricky but tunable. Do you have buzz-fixed version? Using http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/attachment/ticket/2121/gsmhandset.state.new and finding a good value for AT+CLVL during a call should help.

My layout is http://iki.fi/lindi/openmoko/XVkbd-lindi -- I don't use a wordlist. > (- Many people I called complained about terrible buzz, but I hope to get the > fix soon) Ah, that makes the volume issue also difficult.

Confirmed. This could be fixed by having e.g. u-boot force 500 mA charging mode, show the user current charge and current and also maybe dim the display so that most energy really goes to the battery? _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
