Experiences from a new user/owner and a question.
Hey, I received my OpenMoko freerunner this monday and I played around with it the whole week and this is my experience with it. I didn't like the software that came with it (I guess that is 2007.2), I just didn't like the look and feel of it. So I installed ASU on it and that felt better, but it isn't quit stable. So I installed 2008.8 from the build host, these feel more stable, but can't seem to find the installer on it ??? So, now I'm running Qtopia on it which just feels much more mature and stable and makes the phone usable as a 'phone'. Now, what is the best thing to do? I guess I would like to keep using qtopia as long as 2008.8 isn't ready for every day use. But now my question is: is which version should I install on the sd card? The official 2008.8 release and try to update that or install the version from the build host? Also updates don't seem to work (I have usb networking and added a nameserver to resolve.conf). And now I just want to say that is a really nice a good looking solid feeling machine and I like playing with it :-) Regards, Dimitri ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
I'm out of here.
Unfortunately, I've decided to sell my Freerunner on ebay. I love the phone, but the firmware just isn't ready for general use, and I lack the expertise to contribute toward the project. Thanks to everyone who's helped me over these last few weeks. Cheers.

Re: full-keyboard for Om 2008.08?
I'm with you, Dirk. This qtopia keyboard just doesn't function right. And switching .kbd files does nothing. Flicking only toggles the different views of the keyboard, none of which contain the enter or arrow keys. (Since we're throwing out essential keys, why stop there? Let's remove some letters too. I nominate the letter E.) I reinstalled matchbox, and I see it trying to come on, but it immediately gets cock-blocked by the qtopia keyboard. If someone could please explain how to disable the qtopia keyboard, I (and many others) would be most appreciative.

Re: 2008 WTF??
It's hard to argue with your points, since the phone STILL can't connect to the internet *out-of-the-box*. (Who wants to manually hack a dozen files, or install some guy's half-working gui posted on some blog that requires google-translate to read?) Why the developers are spending time breaking things that were previously worked (see ASU keyboard), rather than fixing what's broken and in desperate need of fixing, is beyond me. Is it a lack of leadership? For this aggressive undertaking to be successful, it needs at least one person to prioritize, delegate, and lead the other developers. Is there such a person at Openmoko? If not, that's the problem. Having a team of developers, without clear leadership, is akin to herding cats :) D ted braak wrote: I have real doubts about the some Quality Assurance aspects of this team.

Re: Third request: what *is* the warranty on the Freerunner?
The warranty is essentially non-existent. It's supposedly 14 days D.O.A.. Dead On Arrival, in its strictest definition, means that as long as the phone boots up, that's it. It doesn't matter if it's not really functional. As long as it boots up, it's technically not DOA. If it can't make phone calls or connect to the internet, too bad: it's not DOA. If the GPS antenna doesn't work right, because of a hardware flaw, too bad: it's not DOA. While I'm glad they're trying to put out a phone that's open, I'm very disappointed in their lack of customer support. I mean, it's not some throw-away piece of crap. It's a $400 phone! I feel mislead by their marketing, which led me (and, from what I've been reading, many others) to think that the phone was actually ready for both developers AND regular folks. This, of course, is false, as it can't even connect to the internet *out of the box*, and requires a ridiculous degree of programming knowledge to even do so. (As a Java programmer with 10 years' experience, I've finally given up trying.) Anyway, I'm done complaining. Anyone want to buy a new Freemoko?

Re: Third request: what *is* the warranty on the Freerunner?
I'm just venting steam. I'm not entirely unhappy with the phone: just a little frustrated, since I'm having a hard time justifying the purchase with my wife... not to mention my iPhone-loving friends. There were a number of sites, like Engadget and a few others, that were essentially implying that the Freerunner was ready for general use (as opposed to the Neo1973, which was strictly a developer's phone). So, I enthusiastically ordered it, only to realize that it's still, very much, a developer's phone. And not just a developer's phone, but a *super hardcore* developer's phone. I wouldn't mind learning to program for it, but even that's hard to do, since there are a handful of competing openmoko software architectures that aren't really interoperable. Anyway, I guess I'll wait for the software to catch up to the hardware. Meanwhile, I'll keep it tucked away in the closet.

Ian, When you say GPRS data transfer is still being worked on does that mean it doesn't currently work? I ask because my ATT pay-as-you-go plan has MediaNet data access included, for $.01 / kb.

Re: GSM detection/identification
Are you able to make and receive calls? If not, perhaps the sim isn't touching all the phone's connections. At least, that's the problem I had when I tried to connect to ATT. It would show that I had 5 bars, but it would always say Registering I was able to wiggle the sim a little, reboot the phone, and have it properly connect to the ATT network (i.e., it changed from Registering... to ATT and I was able to make/receive calls and text messages).

But, on the little image of the antenna, that shows how strong my connection is, I still have 2 bars. Is that a bad guage of connectivity? Is it wrong? Or does that maybe tell me that it has 2 bars of strength with some sort of other gsm network? Is there a way I can query the phone from the cli to have it show me the different carriers it can sense network for?

device only powers up on its own
Check this out: My new Freerunner's battery is fully charged. But, whenever I attempt to power it up, it refuses. Nothing happens. It won't power on. But, the instant I plug it in, via USB, it powers up on its own (without my pressing its power button.) It's not a battery issue, because I can instantly disconnect the USB cable (the instant the phone starts to boot up), and it continues booting up and operating normally. But when I powered it off, I have to reconnect it via usb to power on again. Unless there's a magic trick to turning on the phone, it's DOA as far as I'm concerned. (I can't be expected to carry around a laptop, or a portable AC power generator, to turn on the phone.) Please advise.

Re: device only powers up on its own
Thanks guys for responding so quickly. I didn't realize that I had to hold down the power button for 5 seconds; I was only holding it down for maybe 3 seconds. It boots up fine. Thanks again.
