I'm a bit out-of-sync with all of you, due to "other work", but still have problems in Om2009r5 that I've just flashed my FR A6. These are my first impressions: 1. Booting is _very_slow_. I didn't measure it, but it feels much slower than with Om2009r4 (which had a whole lot of other problems, though, including no keyboard after a while in the dialer). 2. I've changed the profile to Illume on the first boot after flashing. On the second boot, when it asks for a PIN, the following problems manifest: 2.1 There is a strip of rainbow colours (much like a garbled C64 screen) on the top of the screen. 2.2 The string "Enter PIN" is cut off at the lower half. 2.3 The profile was reset to "Paroli". 3. I changed the profile setting to "paroli-serenity". This resultet in an error message about a missing module that could not be loaded. 4. If I call myself to test, although sound quality is _poor_ (like an old military radio device - I think I need the buzz fix), there's immediate, and increasing, acoustic feedback. I have to go several meters away from the other phone to stop it. 5. I didn't yet find out how to adjust the keyboard to eg. "German". Preferably, I'd have the "Terminal" keyboard (not that magic "I guess and scramble your writing"-keyboard) plus a method to enter accented characters. 6. When conducting a phone call, there's a weird mixed call-and-hangup sign which looks like if the two images were overlayed as transparencies. 7. Keyboard reaction is MUCH slower than it was in r4 while I had a keyboard there. Some general remarks: * I didn't yet find out where my data goes. With r4, I had some messages, and, in theory, GPS tracks that I tried to recover using SSH, but I could not locate them on the file system. So I lost it all after re-flashing. * There should be an easy way to inspect and manipulate backup images (eg. jffs2 format) in a regular Linux desktop machine. Maybe this is in the wiki already, but I'd like something along "pmount image-file directory" to mount an image and work with the contents. * So far, I'm only able to use half of my 8gig micro SD card in the phone, but all of it in a regular computer's card reader. * Battery life appears to be very low. Just dabbling a bit with the new image drained three quarters of the battery, according to Illume's status display, but the "can" battery icon appeared to suggested the * battery to be half full.
