 Why dont you reflash? (you do know that the FR has two boot options for

 Your description implies that the upgrade left you with a missmatched
 kernel and modules, or no modules - can you flash your original kernel
 back (you do keep backups/versions? :)
 
 Put a distro on an SD card, boot and install the matching modules
 package.
 
 Just depends how much you lose with whats on the phone - easier just to
 reflash and start again if nothing valuable.

How do I reflash when I can't get to the boot menu?  The boot menu I'm
talking about is the one when you hold the aux button and press the power
button.  If that's the NOR boot menu, then I can't get to the NOR boot menu.

I'll try what Brian suggested in his email and leave it with no power
(battery or charger) for a while... I'll do overnight, because I can't
remember if I left the battery out for any length of time after this has
happened.

I'll let everyone know if this works.

Thanks!  :)

 This is probably a stupid question but have you tried removing the

 issue and this solved my problem.
 
 As far as the desktops not seeing the device via USB do you get any
 useful info from doing an lsusb or lsusb -vv as superuser ? What does
 ifconfig say ? I recommend trying this on both the FR and your
 desktop. Perhaps the device name is different from what it normally is.
 I use the following on my desktop to get networking up:
 
 ip addr add 192.168.0.200/24 dev eth4;iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j
 MASQUERADE -s 192.168.0.0/24;sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
 
 Your device may vary in the above example the FR is eth4. 
 
   The interesting thing about the USB port is that if I plug the
   adapter into the FR while it's turned off, it recognizes the
   connection and boots (as expected) but somewhere along the way the
   USB port is completely disabled. I don't know if it's a mokonnect
   failure or what, but something is completely hosed.  So much that
   I used to be able to take the battery out as long as it was
   connected to the charger, but now it turns off as if it wasn't.
   
 
 It sounds like the USB port is okay but since Qi doesn't initialize
 USB you have to rely on the kernel to do it and it sounds like your
 install isn't.
  
   Would I be able to fix it if I had a debug board?
   
 
 I don't see how NOR could be broken since this is an FR we're talking
 about.
 
   I also need the buzz fix done on my phone, so if there were a US
   company that I could send the phone to that would do that work,
   maybe they could reinstall the bootloader so that I could at least
   get to the boot menu. That's really all I need is to get to the
   boot menu and I can do the rest from there.
   
 
 I hope you get the issue resolved I have an A5 without the buzzfix and
 so far I haven't had any buzzfix related issues. Just some minor tweaks
 to the mic volume have sorted out the noise issues on SHR for me.
 
   The FreeRunner was my first smart phone, and I've gotten used to
   it.  I don't want to tether myself to either Apple or Google, and
   I definitely don't want a Microsoft smart phone, so that leaves
   the FR, or some other smart phone that I haven't found yet.
 
 There's always the Nokia N900 which is really pricey but a very nice toy
 indeed. I'm a cheapskate but the friends I know that own the N900 are
 pretty happy with it so far. 
 
 Good luck Laura ;-)
 
 Brian
 

My FR has been sitting all day turned off, and I just went upstairs to prep
it for an overnight without the battery, but I decided to see if I could get
to the NOR boot menu one more time before I let it sit overnight, and
whadayaknow... it came up to the boot menu.  :D

The USB port still isn't recognized, so I can't charge it yet, but I can at
least reflash now.  :)

Thanks Brian!

AW: Thinking about a german data offer (GPRS) from Klarmobil

2010-03-18 Thread Jörg König
I'm going to do the same, taking the data Klarmobil offer. It's not the 
cheapest solution but 49ct/MB is alright in my case.
However, at least I could make it run with FreeRunner.

I also have a SIM card form Alice, but FreeRunner with QtMoko cannot use it. 
And unfortunately I have no clue whether it's a configuration issue or whether 
the SIM would work only in the GPRS/UMTS stick that came aside the SIM.

I'll see ... however QtMoko is a good choice! Awesome fast!

Cheers

Joerg

Betreff: Thinking about a german data offer (GPRS) from Klarmobil

Hi,

I am still do not use my phone as a phone. Maybe some of the current  
distributions can be used.

But what I am currently thinking of is a simple GPRS data offer to  
enable GPRS internet as either flat or
volume based.

Who knows about usable and cheap providers in germany to get at least  
a GPRS volume contract?

Which sim cards will work in the FreeRunner?

My current choice is a 0,19 Euro Cent per MB as I do not use the  
mobile data service much I think.

Thanks

Lothar

yes, no problem.

All three reworks are done in very different areas of the device (Buzz  
is done at the Microphone; #1024 within the tin-can under the WLAN  
module and the Bass-Rework under the tin-can under the Bluetooth  
module). And therefore they can be done independently - or all  
together (which saves a lot of handling and shipment cost).

And, they use professional equipment that does the least harm to the  
board that is possible.

[shr-t] Big update, safe or not ?

2010-03-18 Thread Xavier Cremaschi
Hi folks,
my distribution was installed in January 2010, and for some time there 
were no update in shr-testing branch.

But today I've tried an 'opkg update' and now I see :
$opkg list-upgradable | wc -l
682

Will such a big upgrade be ok or do I have to wait until Sunday (more 
time to fix borken things) ?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

You should consider to upgrade in more than one step, as space in /tmp is 
limited.

Read about the new implementation of opimd _before_ the upgrade. There are sone 
posts regarding the handling of contacts on the ML (shr-user).

Re: Now someone REALLY has to help me!!

2010-03-18 Thread Märta

Ok now I'm back. The tips you gave me were very helpful so now I'm a proud
SHR Stable-user (what's different with the unstable version anyway?).
However there are a few things I need to get fixed before I can use my
Freerunner as standard phone, mainly five things. It would be very nice if
you could try to give me as easy answers as possible, since my understanding
of programming is very limited.

1) Every time I start a call, the Dialogue screen disappears. I don’t know
why its this way, is there a way to solve this? As I’ve understand you can
modify the Frerunners code by writing scripts into the phones terminal. Is
that correct, you don’t need a linux computer to be able to do these tweaks
(for example setting the time)?

2) I can only start my FR using the AUX start and selecting boot. When I
simply power it on I get a error screen saying:

[ 0.00] Unknown boot option `g_ether.host_addr=00:1F:11.01:0D:8F´:
ignoring

[ 0.00] Unknown boot option `g_ether.dev_addr=00:1F:11.01:0D:8F´:
ignoring

[ 0.00] Unknown boot option `g_ether.host_addr=00:1F:11.01:0D:8F´:
ignoring

[ 0.00] Unknown boot option `g_ether.dev_addr=00:1F:11.01:0D:8F´:
ignoring
 
And sometimes it get stuck with the text:
 
JFFS2 warning: (50) jffs2_do_read_inode_internal: Truncating i no #4650 to
137136 bytes failed because it only had 69632 bytes to start with! 

This is not so important to me since I CAN start using the AUX startup, but
it would be interesting to know the reason for this.

3) I have no idea of how I should get access to my uSD card. I’ve put a
WAV-file onto it and a JPG picture, I would like these as Ringtone and
background picture. How am I supposed to do that? It seems I can’t browse
the card but only the Flash memory where I can’t put files. When I for
example open InTone and browse for directory, it seems it only shows Flash
memory directories.

4) How do I install a new keyboard to the Freerunner? Im interested in the
Literki keyboard since it’s made for fingers:
http://www.opkg.org/package_232.html . If you have other recommendations im
grateful, I’ve read somewhere about a keyboard that saves your used words
for faster use (This would be helpful for me since I’ll type everything in
Swedish).

5) Is there a way to change the standard SHR screen showing when the FR is
locked? It looks ugly and the unlock slide lags. Maybe If I only could
change the background picture?

Once again, I’m very grateful for all help.

Martin

Sounds normal. You have g_ether as a module so kernel does not

My buzz may be software related too, because I first started getting
complaints about buzz after I upgraded in February.  I had never had any
complaints before that, so I may just be able to alter a configuration and
get it fixed.  I have the skills to do the buzz fix on my own (experience
with circuit board soldering and modification), but I'm not sure my current
soldering gun has a fine enough point (Cold Heat).  I was considering doing
mine anyway and then offering up a buzz-fix party or maybe do it for those
that can't.  I was hoping to be able to take the lazy way out.  ;)

freerunner stops working

2010-03-18 Thread Johannes Kepler
hi,

i'm using shr-unstable from february 2010
Linux version 2.6.29-rc3 (s...@opmbuild) (gcc version 4.4.2 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT

i use the freerunner permanently plugged to my server for sending sms.
it worked 10 days normally.
then first the X server died, so i couldn't see anything on the device but 
connecting through ssh was possible.
3 days later the whole system died so i couldn't even log into trough ssh.

has anyone made similar experiences.
is there something i can do against this behaviour?

unfortunately i do not have any log files, because they got deleted after the

Do you actually leave the FR running for 10 days straight?  That may be the
problem.  There was an issue a while back with problems after the FR had
been left on for a while, and the popular answer was to reboot daily.  I
typically reboot once every 2 or 3 days.

I don't know if anyone will be able to indicate a similar experience mainly
because I'm not sure if anyone leaves theirs on that long.

 or permanentrly update tmp_dir option in /etc/opkg/opkg.conf for better
 location if default /var/lib/opkg/tmp doesn't suit you

But before doing any of this, you might want to know that there's a
high propability that all your contacts  SMS's are gone, and will not
be read from SIM. Someone might be able to point you to some magic to
prevent this from happening.

That's exactly what happened to me. Any pointer to what to do to get it
back (I got a backup made with the shr-settings application from before
the update).

Thanks

Re: Now someone REALLY has to help me!!

 1) Every time I start a call, the Dialogue screen disappears. I don’t know
 why its this way, is there a way to solve this? As I’ve understand you can
 modify the Frerunners code by writing scripts into the phones terminal. Is
 that correct, you don’t need a linux computer to be able to do these tweaks
 (for example setting the time)?

Yes, you can. By default you should have an app named 'Terminal' on
your ...errr... 'Desktop' after booting up. It's rather inconvenient, so
I'd recommend hooking your FR up to a pc via USB and using ssh to
connect to it for writing configs or scripts etc.
I don't know what you mean by 'Dialogue screen' though. But maybe you're
having this problem:
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-March/060810.html

 2) I can only start my FR using the AUX start and selecting boot. When I
 simply power it on I get a error screen saying:
 […] 

Maybe you don't wait long enough? As already said the g_ether messages
are no problem. The jffs message might be a filesystem corruption.

 3) I have no idea of how I should get access to my uSD card. I’ve put a
 WAV-file onto it and a JPG picture, I would like these as Ringtone and
 background picture. How am I supposed to do that? It seems I can’t browse
 the card but only the Flash memory where I can’t put files. When I for
 example open InTone and browse for directory, it seems it only shows Flash
 memory directories.

Isn't it mounted under /media/card ? If not a
'mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card' should do the trick.

 4) How do I install a new keyboard to the Freerunner? Im interested in the
 Literki keyboard since it’s made for fingers:
 http://www.opkg.org/package_232.html . If you have other recommendations im
 grateful, I’ve read somewhere about a keyboard that saves your used words
 for faster use (This would be helpful for me since I’ll type everything in
 Swedish).

Connect your Freerunner to the internet and on a command prompt
(Terminal on the phone, or more convenient: ssh over USB) enter 'opkg
install http://pvtrace.com/~miki150/literki_0.0.2-r6_armv4t.ipk' (Link
taken from the download button on the webpage you posted).
To get your freerunner connected via USB check out this wiki article:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking or use Wifi or a GPRS
connection or your uSD card calling opkg with the path to the file on
the uSD card instead of the URL.

Debian but that's not relevant. The important thing is what
applications you use. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/user:lindi

 Hi Neil,

 Sorry to hijack the thread, but could you post your tweaked soundconfig on 
 the Wiki?

 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystem#Empirical_Data_for_Mic_Settings

 This could help others to find more useable settings for their phone.

 Thanks,

 Hi Niels,

 If you mean me, yes, I'm planning to do this this evening.  (Sorry for
 the delay!)

They're there now.

Re: How to manually delete sms from sim using dbus2 or something else?

2010-03-18 Thread W.Kenworthy
To list messages (latest shr-t):
mdbus2 -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.SIM.RetrieveMessagebook 'all'

To delete messages one by one:
mdbus2 -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.SIM.DeleteMessage '1'

My SIM had 20 messages so I had to delete from 1 to 20 by changing the
number above.  There is (or was) a deleteall command but I couldnt find
it.  You may need to install mdbus2 to get the command.
