parts for the buzzfix
Hello, I'm searching for the parts for the buzz-fix so I could do it myself. I only find it quite difficult to difficult to find the needed components: 2K2 0402 smd resistor and a small ceramic 100µF smd cap. On farnell you have to be a company and digikey charges 18 Euro transport costs :O. The local electronic shop doesn't have any of this components. Is there anyone on this list who can send a cap and some resistors to somewhere near Leuven, Belgium in an envelope for a reasonable price?

Ever since I saw that the SHR feeds didn't get updated for a while I compiled SHR myself from the shr/import branch, so I already knew that there was a lot of activity going on under the radar.

I'm using the latest testing image (4/12/2009) and I'm wondering where in the filesystem I have to put my vcf contacts. I'm having trouble installing pisi, and it actually isn't worth the trouble if I can just use your method. I just can't find out where I have to put my vcf. Thanks in advance. Graphic speed felt a little slower though, and the interfacing with FSO was broken in some places, like the power management. Also the power button didn't bring up the popup menu.

No, we are not all dead :). There are a couple of major transitions that have slowed down new images or indeed any updates in the SHR feed. Let me try to sum up a few and I am sure others will chime in and list whatever I have forgotten: - Transition from the obsolete kdrive-glamo driver to a proper xorg server infrastructure. This took some time, but it appears that it is working fine now. Don't expect any (initial) performance boosts, but being on a regular xorg server and having a driver that is actually being developed and maintained is a good thing for the future (thanks to Weiss and others for some really hard work here). - More fso...d goodness. Rather than having Mickey Lauer's python prototyped phone backend, we are starting to his re-written bits and pieces (coded in vala, which should give us a nice performance boost over python). For the beginning we have the resource handling (fsoresourced) on board and look forward to the next bits and pieces. I know very little about the state of things here, so others might have more information. -New phone apps: As if that were not enough changes, the core team (mrmoku, tasn, dos1, and others?) has started to redevelop the frontend applications for SHR. the old ophonekitd was initially developed by a guy called quickev who has been missing in action since quite some months now. Don't ask ME why, but apparently the now design allows for better/quicker/whatnot development. I'll let one of them speak out for themselves about the motivations. Besides lots of work,this gives us also a chance to redesign the screens and make the UI better. So goodbuy ophonekitd and libphone-efl, welcome phoneui, and libphoneui-shr. -Bernd Prünzler(spelling?) is kind enough to help out with some theme development (BTW, you did know there is a theme contest going on, do you? So, go and design and submit something already!). The default theme has been designed for powerful desktops, and is using more transparency and other fancy stuff than the slow graphics can do. He is developing a theme that should be much faster on the Freerunner (but don't expect miracles, the hardware will still be barely able to drive a full VGA-resolution screen). So expect a big fight between dos1 (niebee theme) and bernd (gry theme) for the fastest performance (while retaining good looks). Last but not least: what we had done the last few months, is basically taking a fork of OpenEmbedded and developing from that. While this gave us the stability to code apps without having others break our stuff (we are quite capabable of doing that ourselves it seems :-) ), this led to a quickly diverging SHR and OE tree. It was decided that we really should include our stuff into OpenEmbedded proper, rather than just doing our stuff in parallel. So we had first put all the stuff into an SHR/import git tree which is in the openembedded code repository. Next, mrmoku created the shr/merge tree which is kept in sync with the OpenEmbedded tree and we ported all our enhancements there. The plan is to take our bits and pieces from here and merge them into OE over time. This is where we currently stand, we want to keep using the shr/merge tree which gives us a current OE

Re: Dead FR: does not boot
You could try hooking the battery connector of the freerunner directly to an alternative 4,5V source, like a battery. With the original battery in the freerunner you can check the polarity. Remove the original battery before connecting the alternative one. If, with a full 4,5 battery, your freerunner doesn't boot, and the cables, connectors,.. aren't broken, I would also guess something serious is wrong with your freerunner. When it boots, or partially boots, you know you can keep trying other combinations of usb/wall/laptop/power/aux/UBOOT (I think some uboot versions can handle the problem better). You can also completely boot withe alternative supply, plug in the wall charger and switch the alternative supply with the original battery. It will then start charging. If I remember correctly you can't see it's charging from the battery icon. #cat /proc/apm will tell you the truth. depeje On Monday 19 January 2009 10:57:45 Eildert Groeneveld wrote: Dear List the booting issue with a flat battery has been with us for some time, but allegedly also been solved.

wifi using GUI in 2008.9
Hi, The wiki says that I can use the gui in the settings-application to even connect to a wpa2 protected network. Now I tried that with an open network and it works. (except for rerouting, which I still have to do using terminal. It also thinks it failed even when it succeeded.) But I was never able to connect to my protected network, probably because I type in the PSK wrong. Isn't there a way to preload the neo with the key via ssh in a config file? Because having to type it is really a pain in the rear. Also I have noticed the gui doesn't store the password, but maybe it's because it thinks the connection failed. I want to use the gui because it otherwise seems to interfere with mofi or lint (or the ifup, wpa_supplicant). It is also the nearest to usable tool to connect to a network. The only things I would like to see improved are: -a config, or config files for each AP -reroute through eth0 -know when it is connected and don't say it failed when it succeeded.

minimo segfaults when surfing to ssl sites with non-standard ports
To be able to use the wireless lan in my college I have to authenticate myself thrue an ssl encrypted site. When I use minimo for that (the only browser that knows something about ssl on the freerunner) it segfaults. Attached to this mail is the output file of #wget http://www.google.be . You can see the browser will be redirected to an ssl-encrypted site on port 8081, at which point minimo segfaults. I don't get the chance to see the authentication form. When I am completely connected to the internet and i surf to a self hosted ssl-site on port 44344 it also segfaults. This is particularly nasty because now I can't use the internet at all in my college.

Is there a way to use the clock of the gps to correct the hardware clock of the neo? A button sync hw clock in agpsui would be nice.

Re: Fast questions (email, GPRS, WiFi...)
After a while it became clear it was only reproducible when my neo can visibly see my router. When there's concrete in between it doesn't work for my neo. My notebook on the other hand reports 60% signal strength and can connect in seconds. When udhcpc is sending discovers I can see on my router it is receiving these discovers and is assigning my neo an ip. Unfortunatly udhcpc keeps sending discovers as if it doesn't hear my router's respons. Sometimes udhcpc outputs a couple of this lines Sending select for 192.168.1.92 At these moments I can see on my router the lease time for that ip is forever. But after udhcpc outputted a couple of these lines it reverts to sending discovers. When I leave udhcpc running for like 10 minutes it finally also receives a lease time which is quite forever (140773632 seconds). My router reports it as forever. Here's my iwconfig output if it can be of any use: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# iwconfig lono wireless extensions. usb0 no wireless extensions. eth0 AR6000 802.11g ESSID:PN Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:0E:2E:BA:1E:51 Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:on Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:172/94 Signal level:-179 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:39 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 I think it's mainly a bug in udhcpc which maibe isn't fully compatible with my edimax router and dhcp server.

It is impossible to know what someone is referring to when they make a short post such as I have that one too, and it's great - is it the original device described in the message topic, or the alternative suggested by Dave a few posts in? That is the same with mails (IMHO even worse). My conclusion of all those discussions is: We need both in parallel. Each system has its benefits and let's decide users themselves. So please let this mailing list exist! And if (and only if) you are interested in a forum or someone asks you why not to use a forum, please refer to existing fora as e.g.: http://forums.makeopensource.com http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showforum=161 http://www.neo1973-germany.de (German) Please also note that fora become more valuable by heavy useage.

They aren't necessary either, but they improve the atmosphere, and they improve the productivity. Why else would employers put these pictures there? And is OM wants to sell phones to other people than Ken Tompson and other geeks, they will need a nice UI. I've seen a statement somewhere on the OM site that they hoped GTA2 would be bought by our parents... These are people who would happily invest some electricity in the rendering of a UI. So I think it's in everyones interest that OM is standard supplied with a nice UI. That would make the OM profitable and only than they will be able to make GTA3 to GTAxx. Geeks who don't need/want the nice UI can always switch it off. That's the beauty of Linux. Just press CTRL-AT-F1 and you're rid of KDE/GNOME/Fluxbox...

Re: Free Runner price vs iphone 3G price
I pay my carrier €50 per year on avarage. And buying an OM will not increase that amount. Peter On Tuesday 10 June 2008 19:56:44 ian douglas write: Robert Taylor wrote: You pay through the nose for it because you HAVETO sign up for a 2 year contract minimum. Granted, the Apple and ATT partnership greatly subsidizes the cost, because of the $960 ($40/mo unlimited data plan for 2 yrs) to $2400 ($100/mo unlimited voice/data for 2 yrs) that you'd spend with ATT also helps cover the hidden cost of the hardware. And while I personally don't care much for the iPhone, you also have to sign up for a voice/data plan to use the Freerunner... You're still paying the $960-$2400 over two years, but there's not offset of cost of the hardware to the consumer. The monthly fees you pay that doesn't pay for the actual use of the cell network is 100% profit to ATT instead of going to Apple to help pay for the hardware. Same with TMobile, and I imagine any other carrier who offsets the price of their phones to lock you into a contract. Just my $0.02. What you're paying the extra money for, for the Freerunner, is the freedom of doing whatever you want with your phone. Sure, the iPhone has their SDK released, but all applications still have to go through Apple to operate on your phone -- I don't know if the SDK even allows you to build an application just for your own iPhone to test it. Also, their mobile OS is closed source -- you have no access to hack or tweak it to do *exactly* what you want it to. You can't change the applications that come with the phone, you can't do a lot of things. Sure, they have lots of eye candy and some solid-looking applications, but once we as a community port applications to the Freerunner hardware to run on OpenMoko, we'll be leaps and bounds ahead of the iPhone software. That, to me, is worth the extra purchase price. -id ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Free Runner price vs Meizu M8 price
U also have to know that running linux doesn't mean it's open. Some Telenet digiboxes (The onlything in Belgium that can receive the encrypted DBV-C) run Linux, but they are the most closed devices I've ever seen, and they also fail in what they are designed to do. I assume they where designed to receive DVB-C and not to empty peoples pockets, as how Telenet actually uses them. But that's another story. I don't know what the situation is with these iRivers and Meizus. A device doesn't get my attention by running Linux. It gets my attention by being open.

And the role of a Product Manager to balance and decide that (I have done such a job for 10 years). i am sure it has - but given that the target group is not well defined - i have yet to see a definition, nor see any research or statistics, nor anything else concrete - it is all conjecture. we could just not ever even ask you guys and you get what you are given. too bad. no input at all. i've opened up the floor for input - but i'm trying to dig specific things out of it - not things that smell ofi just want higher specs. or keeping up with the joneses. i want real use case scenarios that make real sense. :) I think I've got a real use case scenario. I don't have extraordinarily eye-sight. In fact, with two eyes combined I've got just under 10/10 with quite strong glasses. (Not good enough to become a commercial pilot.) I've don a little test with my current smartphone. It has a 2.8 inch qvga display. I've also searched for the smallest, comfortably readable printed text. I found it on the back of my first pda. It's the text tested to comply with. Than I've opened word mobile on my current smartphone and typed a little text. I made it as small as the printed text on the back of my oldest pda. The text in word wasn't readable anymore. It was reduced to a random bunch of black and white pixels. Also watching pictures on the qvga screen isn't such a pleasure, but I've never had trouble watching movies. Another reason why I'm happy watching qvga movies is because they are much smaller for your phone's memory. Conclusion: I'm certainly a big VGA proponent.
