 Hello.
 
 I've had the neo freefrunner gta-02 a few weeks.
 After browsing through a few distributions, qtmoko became my choice. I
 think this distribution is really great! I flashed the kernel and
 rootfs with
 uImage-v21.bin
 and
 qtmoko-debian-v21.jffs2
 respectively and all seems ok, maybe better than ok   :-)
 
 Only one irksome thing that is turning me away from qtmoko...
 
 I can not for the life of me get GPS to work using NeronGPS.
 I took the following steps after flashing:
 
 (1) apt-get gpsd (this starts on booting after a little play with the
 config for gpsd).
 neo:~# /etc/init.d/gpsd restart
 Stopping GPS (Global Positioning System) daemon: gpsd.
 Starting GPS (Global Positioning System) daemon: gpsd.
 neo:~#
 
 (2) Fire up NeronGPS
 
 What happens, is that NeronGPS runs, I can download maps from OM_map,
 for example. What never hapens is getting a fix. My phone is
 permanently stuck with the message Wait for fix. Have I missed
 something obvious here?
This is a bug in v21. The sysfs node that turns on power to the gps
device has changed. It's now
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.7/neo1973-pm-gps.0/power_on

If you change /opt/qtmoko/bin/gps-poweron.sh
and /opt/qtmoko/bin/gps-poweroff.sh to reflect this change it will work.

regards
Florian
 
 In short: Is there a sure-fire way of getting GPS up-and-running?
 
 Best,
   Toby

I have not tested it yet, but i think the sysfs files for powering up gps are 
changed in v21 kernel. I have written about it here and will hopefully fix it 
for next release:

http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-April/061383.html

Btw the gps device is /dev/ttySAC1 and if you do:

cat /dev/ttySAC1

it should print some NMEA messges. If not then gps is probably not powered up.

 I upload this file to qtmoko, but nothing happens plz help

Great, you are very close now :) You have slightly older copy of qtmoko git. 
Please do

git pull

in your qtmoko git and try again. Or try another application - e.g. qtmoko-
apps/qsolitaire/

 Hallo.

 I have a freerunner a7 and  I bought it 3 months ago.
 The battery lifetime is too short...
 I mean, when I use it as regular computer, a full charged battery with
 suspends e.t.c. takes almost two days to discharge.
 But when I insert sim card and I use it as shell phone with 2-3 short
 phone calls, a full charged battery with suspends e.t.c. takes 18
 hours to discharge.
 So every day I have to change it again and many times in the midday.
 Where is very small difference on battery discharge between suspended
 and not suspended.

 I use QtMoko for OS.
 Is this issue common on small computers?
 It's most likely this issue:
 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/1024
 If your freerunner has the fix applied you can activate calypso deep
 sleep as described on this page. It works for me.

 Florian

* Enabled OGG audio format support. Ogg support has been added 3 months
ago, but it was so far disabled due to a bug in GStreamer oggdemux
pipeline element.
* New internal widget: Notify dialog. It is used to notify user when an
operation, that can take some time, ends.

As everybody noticed, correct homepage is:

I also forgot to say that Podboy is in SHR-unstable feed already, so to
install Podboy, simply type:

opkg install podboy
