 I want to +1 this.  No battery status only the charging lightning bolt (even

+1 for me as well ...

My unit also seems to drain the battery very quickly in suspend, where
the FSO milestone 2 release seemed to have good bat life.  But this
may be related to the battery status not displaying correctly.

Re: Community update: GSM firmware, 850MHz experiment, GTA02 progress

2007-12-10 Thread Cliff Brake
I would also be very interested in re-work instructions for modifying
a GTA01 to support 850MHz as many of us are capable doing circuit
modifications.

Thanks,
Cliff

 In regards to the 850MHz Issue:
 It seems that very little effort was required to switch a phone board
 to 850 for testing.  So my question is what exactly is involved.  Was
 it simply switching which pin is attached to the antenna?  If it is a
 relatively simple circuit change and involving only a top (or bottom)
 layer trace, is it possible to tell us what connections to change to
 convert an existing unit to 850MHz.  Obviously only  for the very
 experienced people.  If there is different capacitor, etc required to
 match the frequency it might be less doable, but details would be
 nice. once the design has been confirmed.  On a side note this is
 excellent news that the 850 variant may not be far behind GTA02.

Re: gtk-sharp packages available for neo

Eventually, we'll need C# bindings to the openmoko pieces.  A good
place to start might be:
http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/bindings/

Python bindings exist (not sure of the status), so that would at least
tell us what we should be binding to.  The feedreader application is
written in python and would probably be a good example of how to write
a non-C app.

 To justify this being on the developer list and not the community list I could

Why would you want vim (or any source editor) running on your Neo? First
of all, the primary interface to the Neo is still its touchscreen.
Keyboards won't be available for a while. Second, it probably won't be
worth it to develop applications on the device itself (if that were even
possible given the memory constraints).

If you need to edit text on the phone, use the existing text editor
which, in all likelihood, will take better advantage of the interface
than vim would. I'm sure you could live without syntax highlighting for
a spell.


For embedded Linux development, it is very handy to have a decent
editor running on the target device.  Often there is a need to edit
configuration files etc.  This is typically done over ssh/network
connection from your host system -- you don't run VIM on the target
display.  Because VIM is so easy to build/install with OE, why not :-)
