Ever since I switched from Speak Out Wireless to Fido, QtEI shows a triangle icon on the shelf (top bar). This triangle icon did not appear when I used Speak Out Wireless. I Googled for “qtopia phone triangle icon” and found an IRC log (search for “triangle”) claiming the triangle icon means roaming. Is this true? If yes, how can I be roaming when I am (AFAIK) in my home area? I live and work in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. Thanks, Brolin Hey Brolin! I have the same issue, also with Fido. For reference, I am located in Vancouver BC. It's been like this with even the earlier versions of qtopia. My cell bill never shows roaming time, so it's not as if i'm charged for it. I've wanted to get on the phone with Fido and see if it's their end, but haven't made time (i hate talking to tech support). I recall seeing this in *every* stack since I got the freerunner launch week. Even on the current SHR, under modem info in settings, it shows roaming. Seeing as how it only showed up after you switched to Fido and seeing as how almost no one else complained it leads me to believe it's a Fido problem. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi, is anyone working on an opensync plugin for qtmoko? I'm really starting to miss the ability to sync my calendar automatically- and I love qtmoko. I guess I could install evolution on the phone but that's way overkill and will probably bring my phone to a crawl. That being said, at this point I don't care which distro I have to use to sync, I just want it to happen. I've heared of a program called Pisi, will it sync directly with evolution on my desktop, or do I have to use google calendar as a middle man?

Re: OT: Where can I meet a female companion with similar interests and personality /in person/?
On Thu, 2009-09-10 at 13:12 -0700, Brolin Empey wrote: Hello list, Like most of the members of this list (AFAICT from the first names I recognise as sex/gender-specific), I am male. I am 22 and still live I feel ya buddy. I'm born and raised in Vancouver and have had some of your problems on top of others. I'm fairly geeky, and have the same interests as you do (like everything from xkcd to the scene stuff- except maybe the computer music though electronic music one of my favourite genres. we'de make good buddies). I haven't had the best of luck with women, I'm fairly picky as it seems you are too. It's not easy finding women who share our interests, but there are things that have definitely helped in my life that I'm sure will be beneficial to you. First off, there is some general reading. A book called The Game by Neil Straus is an excellent starting point. Start digging into the pickup artist communities works- Mystery Method, David Deangelo, Zan (Vancouver guy too). These guys were all terrible with women at some point in their lives (or so they claim, most seem genuine though others are dubious) and they share what turned them around. There are many other names and good works, I'll be happy to give you more details if you want it. Do not take everything they say seriously, but they have lots of tips and analysis that can greatly aide you in social interaction. Read these books with an open mind, but I can tell you that they make sweeping generalizations about women that are not necessarily true for all of them. Mystery method will explain in great deal how to hold a conversation with a random person, it won't do everything but it essentially teaches how to converse. Give it a read, take what parts of his style you like, leave the parts you do not want to use but at least give it a shot. The times women have fallen for me, I have been confident, energetic and chatty. Never in my life has a women been attracted to me when I was tired (or just quite), un-assured, and dull. The other thing that killed my relationships earlier on was neediness. Being needy can kill any attraction *so* fast. This may not be a reflection on women, but rather the type of woman that I attract. It can be difficult to gain confidence and be energetic when you've spent most of your life being the exact opposite, but these are traits that come through self improvement. I would highly recommend Toastmasters for public speaking. This is an indirect way to shoot up your confidence- and you'll come out a great public speaker. Believe it or not, there are geek hangouts in Vancouver. Start volunteering and hanging out at Free Geek. They do ethical computer recycling (Commercial and Hastings area, freegeekvancouver.org for lots of info). There are like 1500 people in their volunteer database, and lots of girl geeks who volunteer (lots on a relative scale, obviously there are more males there at any given time). I've seen some attractive women at Van HackSpace, though I haven't been to too many events, http://vancouver.hackspace.ca/doku.php I've heard The Hackery is pretty fun too, how many women show up i'm not too sure, but I've heard girl geeks chill there. I don't know if you've done any post-secondary studies, but UBC and SFU are hotbeds for girl geeks. If you want to do the club thing, go to pit night at UBC's Pit Pub and start talking to random girls, girl geeks come in all shapes and sizes- some of them club too! Otherwise check out the more geek oriented events like the Computer Club. Since you like biking, start hanging out with the bike community. I'm not really a part of it, but I know on good authority girl geeks are part of it. Critical Mass takes place, I think the first Friday of the month, lots of geeky girls there. There's quite a few events that I can't think of off the top of my head, send me an e-mail and I'll keep you posted on what's going on in Vancouver. Know what you want in a partner. From reading your post it seems you want a long term relationship, but be aware of what you are actually looking for. If you just want to fuck, stop caring about interests and start hitting clubs, raves, random venues. Sexual attraction and having things in common are not mutually exclusive. You like computer music and there is a pretty decent electronic scene in Vancouver, you just have to know where to look. Yes, there are women who will have sex with you, even casual sex, despite any problems you think you might have. Know that drugs are usually a part of this scene and if you're not comfortable with that, it's going to seriously limit your fun. This is not for everybody and maybe you'll venture there in time. The last thing I can think of right now, and it is key, you *have* to talk to women. The only way you're going to find a girl with similar interests, besides blind luck or a friend who happens to know a women exactly like you, is by talking to lots of random girls. By random, i don't mean at the club or

I could argue otherwise. They can always learn what the commands do as they start to need them. Maybe their point in grabbing this phone was so they could learn linux commands (a natural consequence of tinkering) or maybe they really like the idea of having source. Everyone has to start somewhere, and I think it's good that he's willing to learn. Using this phone is like linux about 10 years ago. Lots of shit doesn't work great out of the box but improvements happen so fast one always wants to stay close to bleeding edge everything. Tinkering is how one learns and what makes this phone fun (for me anyway). In fact, tinkering is what separates most of us from our fellow proprietary software users. He may not be a power user yet, but that comes in time. Only other thing I have to say, don't be afraid to break anything software: a change can almost always be undone or lead you to fix the problem, and worse case scenario just re-flash the image. Except maybe those fluid commands for flashing the modem firmware, be more careful with those. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[QT Moko] MP3 support
Hey, is libmad compiled into qt moko? If not, is there another way to get mp3 support without compiling, perhaps as a deb? A quick browse of the git repo didn't show any libmad in /src/module_media.pri so i'm assuming qtmoko can't play mp3s. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [QtExtended] Report on 4.4.3 src on FSO
Very nice! Ever since I saw it on mwester's page i've been wanting to do this, but ran into an error and haven't had know how/time to investigate. I love the pim features of qt extended but the lack of packages make it quite boring. Is it possible to run an xserver simultaneously so I can run other applications than qt ones? I would really appreciate a jffs2 image of the rootfs. Mwester has stuff at http://moko.mwester.net/dl.html#qtx_on_fso but I think it's somewhat old now and it didn't work when I last tried it. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: No Sound on calls
This happened to me using the latest andy tracking kernel uImage-moredrivers-GTA02_andy-tracking_2763b78dd365a140.bin on Debian. Also the phone would attempt to suspend but fail. After I switched back to the second latest one all was well.

Re: [android] Unable to read long SMS messages
hey, i tried to install on my freeRunner, but after installing it is not woking, if any one know the correct binary for android then kindly send link, or process! thanks and regard imran On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 6:12 PM, Andy Kilner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've been using android on my freerunner for a few days now, the original image and the latest image and both seem to have a problem displaying SMS messages that go over a few words. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or do most of you just avoid txting? I'm afraid it's an essential requirement of my phone almost more so than being able to place and receive calls. I've had a quick poke about on the adb shell but data/data/com.google.android.providers.telephony/databases/sms.db appears to be empty. Can anyone point me in the direction of where SMS's are stored, unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to be all that simple. The phone also refuses to send SMS messages, if I attempt to do so the gsm connection is dropped and sometimes it can be a pain in the arse getting it back. All in all though, (IMHO) Android is looking the more promising and I'd like to stick with it.
