try this script:

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0
echo "qvga-normal" > /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/state
echo "normal" > /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/state
xrandr -s 480x640

To run it automatically on every wakeup put the script to 
/etc/apm/resume.d/01display

Don't forget to make it executable!

Michael

The freerunner has GPRS, but not 3G. However there is the possibility to 
attach an external USB 3G dongle. You can find more information on

It depends what kind of noise you have.

If it's a constant buzzing you might consider having a look at the hardware 
buzzfix just like rakshat mentioned.

If you experience a rustling noise, check your gsmhandset.state file ( in 
/usr/share/shr/scenarii/ ). The "Mono playback volume" may be overdriven a 
little bit. The easiest way to adjust it is to log in into the phone using 
ssh, open alsamixer, start a call and find out the best values. After that, 
make them persistent in the gsmhandset.state file. Be aware that the ranges 
might differ in alsamixer (0 - 100) and the file (0 - 127). You will have to 
adjust them properly.

Hope this helps.
Michael

Well, it seems that indeed the state change mechanism doesn't work any more in 
that case. But raising the volume in alsamixer doesn't help either. It really 
looks like the entire sound system crashes once in a while here.

Also openmoocow doesn't moo any more. (Thats not as easy as it sounds to find 
out because openmoocow works only if I stop /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher)

How could I debug that further?

Thanks!

The slider has no effect on the issue. Note that also the other end cannot hear

The statefile is ok. The first phonecalls are working just fine. After some

[Om2008.12] No sound on phonecalls

2009-01-03 Thread Michael Zanetti
Hi!

I'm currently running Om 2008.12. It works very well except one really annoing 
issue. After some hours of uptime the sound while phone calls stops working. I 
still can place and receive phone calls but I and the other site can't hear 
anything. I have to reboot the Neo to get it working again.

Is this a known issue or is there already a solution for this?

Thanks,
Michael

SHR doesn't have qtopia-addressbook.app.

What do you mean with "working fine now"? Are they working as they were always 
or are they now really working (no crashes on suspend or after some minutes of

Just remember the partition-sizes and use fdisk to create the partitions again

Re: tango

2008-10-15 Thread Michael Zanetti
Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of openmoko :)

I would suggest updating (flashing) to a newer distribution as the preinstalled 
one (do they still ship with 2007.2?) istn't supported any more. Check out 
2008.9 or even FDOM. FDOM will give you a faster impression of whats possible 
with your freerunner but it isn't an official Openmoko distribution.

Anyways, I'm still using gpsd here as it does the job it is supposed to. And 
it does it quite well. I didn't even realize that it is deprecated.

Have fun with you Fr!

OM 2008.08 not ringing on incoming call

2008-09-08 Thread Michael Zanetti
Hi,

I have installed om-2008.8-update. In the settings dialog the profile "Ring and 
Vibrate" is selected. On incoming calls the Neo vibrates, but there is no 
ringtone most of the times. Sometimes (maybe one try out of ten), if I wait 
long enough I can here one ring just before the timeout until my mailbox 
anwers the call is reached. It seems that it just takes too long until the 
ringtone is activated.

Does anyone have an idea what I could do to make my neo ring on an incoming 
call?

Thanks,
Michael
