You can try youtube.com/html5, enter html5 trial and search for QtMoko - that's how i tested. Video is damn slow - it's more like slideshow, but audio should be usable. Btw for youtube there is nice app called minitube that can play download videos.

Is the gta02 video acceleration code for mplayer from 2008 not yet integrated into QtMoko? What about SHR? http://unadventure.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/accelerating-in-my-pocket http://repo.or.cz/w/mplayer/glamo.git?a=tree;f=drivers/libglamo;hb=HEAD -- bye, pabs http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:PaulWise ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

QtMoko can use glamo enabled mplayer - but it cant do fullscreen video anyways, so SW/HW acceleration makes nearly no difference. Btw QtMoko uses gstreamer, so it's matter of adding glamo support to gstreamer.

I love idea of keeping old hardware living for maximum long time, for reusing it and for improvement of functionality in the frames of given power. And I believe that a lot of people support my point of view. But one day your GTA02 will stop working - it might fall on the floor or whatever.

There are other folks willing to maintain the infrastructure (such as me), but it seems the current admins don't have time to do the cleanup of stuff that is needed before they can add new admins who never worked for OpenMoko Inc. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:PaulWise ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
New GTA02s (was WIKI is in read-only mode?)
Radek Polak pson...@seznam.cz wrote: But one day your GTA02 will stop working - it might fall on the floor or whatever. GTA04 is only replacement - Although it may be the only available replacement at the present moment, it shouldn't remain that way for long. We, the FreeCalypso community (see below), need to make an effort to produce a new GTA02-like phone, Calypso-based. The first naive thought would be to contract with some pirate manufacturing company to make verbatim unauthorized clones of the GTA02, by reverse-engineering the GTA02 PCB and copying it verbatim, layer for layer, trace for trace, via for via. But it probably wouldn't be the wisest choice in technical terms, even if all of the components were still readily available (which they aren't) - the GTA02 board includes some really stupid design choices which I would want to get rid of if we're going to the trouble of building new boards - the Glamo being first and foremost. Because the single most important feature I seek to retain from the GTA02 is the Calypso, we will probably still need to send a dead GTA02 PCB to a pirate manufacturing / reverse eng shop to recover the PCB layout withheld by Closedmoko-Inc. (We already have the schematics for the Calypso block, TI's Leonardo reference design, but the corresponding PCB layout is currently missing.) As for the rest of the GTA02 board, i.e., the AP realm, I would want to simplify it quite a bit - take the Glamo, Wifi and BT out, connect the audio directly to the Iota (Calypso's analog part) so that nothing on the AP side needs to remain powered during a long voice call, and if the original Samsung AP is no longer available (which is probably the case), replace it with whatever other AP we can find that does the minimal functionality we need using the least amount of battery power. The Calypso chips themselves can still be obtained on the grey market. And once that supply runs out, we'll need to send a Spetsnaz unit into whatever TI facility has the old IC fabrication masks, seize those, and take them to some Chinese fab to restart the production of those chips. that's why it's important to support GTA04 - either by donation or buying the device. Not being Calypso-based, the GTA04 is a massive downgrade from the GTA02, and can't really be seen as a replacement except a very feeble one. Therefore, anyone who wishes his/her phone to be a *phone*, rather than a PDA or whatever, who sees the GSM processor as the most important part of the phone, rather than some unimportant modem, and for whom the concept of a Free Phone means running fully source-enabled firmware on the actual phone (GSM baseband) processor, should NOT waste his/her money on a GTA04 downgrade, and should instead donate to the FreeCalypso project - the latter will need to raise funds to pay for the professional pirate-manuf reverse engineering of the GTA02 PCB, to buy Calypso chips on the grey market, and to build the actual new Calypso phones. The firmware will be the user's choice of FreeCalypso or OsmocomBB. I choose the former, but others can use whatever they like. Maybe i am wrong but openmoko as company is for years dead and nobody of the old admins is willing to spend much time on maintaining the infrastructure. I guess the number of spammers is now 1000x higher the number of contributors, that's why it's readonly. And it's no wonder that GTA04 has separate wiki because of these reasons. Dr. HNS of Golden Delicious has been saying for quite a while now that with Openmoko being effectively dead, the Openmoko community is in need of a new successor/replacement, and that successor/replacement is OpenPhoenux. I agree with the first part, but not the second. There is not one but TWO camps seeking to continue the work of Openmoko in different directions: one is OpenPhoenux, the other is FreeCalypso. In order to become a bona fide new community, FreeCalypso needs its own web presence, its own wiki and its own mailing list. I already have a set of physical servers in my own sovereign micronation, all that remains to be done is the software setup - sysadmin stuff. I will post an announcement when the new FreeCalypso community home is up.

SIM not ready
I have some trouble with my GTA04. Since I updated to QtMoko v53 and receiving some messages (e-mail), the busy symbol (rotating clock) is shown on screen. If I ty to delete some SMS, a message is shown, that SIM is not ready. Opening the system info - SIM is showing the SIM ID shows Please wait on all positions (SMS used/free and Contacts used/free). The SIM seems to be working (in other cellphone/ SonyEricsson P910i)! The phone is connecting to provider (is displayed in homescreen and also able to connect to internet/3G). Make calls is a little bit difficult. The call tone is there, but the called phone is not ringing! After hang up, the called one is ringing! Very misteriousGTA04 is not ringing, too (or later). How to solve it? -- Kind regards Sebastian Reinhardt ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
