"opkg upgrade" does not update my system. Thanks in advance, To get newer SHR you will need to switch your feeds. See here for more info: *http://www.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Stabilizing *To switch to the bleeding edge: sed -i 's#/shr-.*/ipk/#/shr-core-staging/latest/ipk/#g;' /etc/opkg/*-feed.conf It may be too big of a jump to opkg upgrade. If things go wrong and you have to reflash, keep track of your customization steps. I made myself a script that does>90% of the work making things the way I like after a clean install.

Btw i havent udated kernel sources so i doubt this is new problem. One workaround could be to charge the phone in suspend. It will discharge very slowly. Not best solution but it could help at least some. Btw i had exactly the same problem on GTA04 with very very old battery (it has 450 charge cycles). With newer battery the problem dissapeared. Maybe you could also check how healthy your battery is. You can find the info under /sys/class/power_supply/bq-battery or something like this.. > As I know, the power control daemon turns charging and discharging on > and off periodically.

It probably really does nothing. Regards Radek ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [qtmoko] charging-discharging problems
(sorry, previous letter has wrong subject) Dear colleagues, something strange happens with my Freerunner after update for new wersion of QtMoko (maybe it's not relevant to update). Anyway, the device start discharging after full charge cycle and doing this till the end of the battery. After that it just turn off ... or (!) if I replug the power supply, it properly starts the charging cycle again. Is anybody have any hints? solutions? As I know, the power control daemon turns charging and discharging on and off periodically. Maybe this is a cause? NB I have been trying "USB connection mode" app, I wasn't pretty sure that it doing anything as far it has no feedback, but maybe it relevant to the problem by somehow?

Re: [qtmoko] dpkg-reconfigure locale resizes most of the fonts and no gps fix possible anymore(?)

Robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community Hi Robin, I am afraid i can't help you with the fonts, but perhaps with the gps. Is there a gpsd running on the FR? Or if it uses dbus, can you monitor if dbus gets location and satelite updates? If gpsd is running, you could save the nmea data to a file and use gpsbabel to check if you have a fix or not. Kind regards.

Re: Tracfone? Sim Card?
On Thursday 23 August 2012 19:27:28 Travis Bachelder wrote: > Is it impossible to use a Tracfone Simcard in a GTA02 FR? It sounds that way according to their wikipedia entry: "TracFone service is limited to TracFone-branded handsets (all TracFone handsets are pre-programmed by the manufacturer; therefore, the handset is locked including its latest GSM models). Other GSM handsets will not accept TracFone SIM cards, even if unlocked. Additionally, on most handsets, some features like USB and Bluetooth have been modified by the manufacturer to prevent direct transfer of user files." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TracFone_Wireless#TracFone This probably means they do something nonstandard talking to the SIM, which is handled by the closed GSM chipset firmware. If Osmocombb ever becomes a replacement for the closed firmware you might be able to work out what's different and add support for it. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
