Lot's of background noise, static, etc. I'm not talking about the familiar buzz problem, as I've had the buzz fix applied to my phone. http://picasaweb.google.com/RuiMSeabra/DebConf9OpenMokoBuzzFixParty# However what I found to fix this problem on my phone model (GTA02v5 + buzz fix) goes totally against the official information. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystem#Alsamixer_channel_controls So much so that there's at least one person who, from his very good knowledge about this subject (Really! This is *not* sarcasm!), thinks this fix is as good as putting some peanut butter over the microphone :) http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Talk:Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystemoldid=77886 I know of at least one other person who claims to have better sound on remote end from this fix, but I think I need to drop the challenge. Can you try the current SHR Unstable, apply this fix and then report on the mailing lists your results? You can? Good! So here's the fix: 1. call someone who noticed your bad sound and check whether the sound is still bad, then finish the call 2. edit /etc/freesmartphone/alsa/default/gsmhandset 3. change control 63 (it's also on line 63), so that it ends in 3 rather than in 2: * Old value: 63:'Mic Sidetone Mux':1:2 * New value: 63:'Mic Sidetone Mux':1:3 4. call that person again and check the result Alternatively, in one call, you can ssh into your phone and use alsamixer to change the same control, but this change will not be persistent until you do the steps above. http://blog.1407.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/oldValue.png http://blog.1407.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/newValue.png So let's hear your results, nothing like a good empirical experiment.

Re: Record call.
Actually Dictator does not manipulate any state-file. It provides its own. One for playing files that has been recorded, one for recording. It loads the recording-state and changes two switches, depending on what you'd like to record. It backups the previous state and reloads it when it is done. You have to change the state of alsa if you want to record a phonecall. I think there is no alternative! It's easier to do with a ready state-file than by manipulating every single switch! At all, if you want something working automatically, you just have to listen for incoming calls (via dbus?) and when one is coming, you have to start (e.g.) a script which loads a state with which you can record a call simultaneously and start arecord and end when you hang up.

Wifi = It seems reliable with the WPA2 networks I use it with but I can't seem to turn it off in SHR-settings and once I've connected to a network I can't reconnect to any network without rebooting.

Workaround: After I've finished using wifi, I always reboot the phone so that next time I want to connect, it works Dictator The version in the repositories seems to just record crackling if I try and record my voice - this used to work. I just tested both version (shr-unstable and opkg.org) here on a former shr-testing. works lika a charm! I guess it's a change in python-pyalsaaudio or a kernel-(module?)-related issue.

Re: How to record calls
Hello, I'd prefer speex-encoding. If you'd like to record voice, this codec is the most appropriate choice, I think. As I read throughout my search for an alternative to wav-recording, ogg encoding is quite slow. But I haven't tried out the performance of speex-encoding. Any experiences?

Re: How to record calls
Nope but you can give it a try via: http://www.freenet.org.nz/python/pySpeex/ Well I tried to get this extension compiled, but it did not work since you need Pyrex for this. And I somehow didn't get it working after all. When I have the time I'll increase my C-abilities and try writing something using only the native libraries, not these python-wrappers. But any help preventing me from this step (i.e. compiling this stuff and delivering an ipk) would be much more preferred! ;-) Matthias ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
