BL-6C: 1150mAh. And that's probably as good as it gets for cells fitting into 
GTA02 battery bay. Unlike NiMH the LiIon technology hasn't made noticeable 
evolution during last few years. When searching you may find a 2nd source 
battery that has a *real* capacity of maybe 20% higher. You will need to 
discard 95% scam before you find that one manufacturer.

Larger capacity battery

2013-12-20 Thread Dominic Walden
Hello,

I was thinking about purchasing another battery from Golden Delicious
(as a spare/backup) but before I do does anyone know of any higher
capacity batteries that are compatible with a Freerunner?

The only ones mentioned on the wiki are 1100mAh or less.

Someone[1] appears to have got it working with a 6Ah portable DVD
player battery by using the battery circuit board from the Openmoko
battery. I'm not sure if I want anything as drastic as that, but I
would not be averse to doing the same with a battery the same size as
the Openmoko one.

Thanks,

Dominic

Re: QtMoko v58 with 2.6.39 kernel and improved power management

2013-12-20 Thread Adrien Dorsaz
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it too.

I've just opened the file and it's so clear how to modify it, I think
that QtMoko is really a good OS and I'm surprised that Nokia stop its
development.

QtMoko on Freerunner and WPA2

2013-12-20 Thread Radek Polak
Hi,
it seems that i have workaround for connecting to WPA2/PSK/AER wifi. The trick 
that works for me is to enter the scan dialog, select desired essid, from 
context menu change priorty and tap on the first item - this makes the network 
the first item in the list. Then leave the scan dialog. From context menu on 
"Wireless LAN" select properties and fill in Wireless Encryption. Finally 
select "Start" from context menu of "Wireless LAN" and at least for me it 
connects.

Hope this helps someone and i also hope to make wifi more usable for next 
release.

BR

Radek
