Which app lets sharing location?
Good day all Hello ; Yes , Tangogps let sharing location but Tangogps isn't being maintained - I think the website is even gone. Tangogps proxies everything through the tangogps site (route finding + location sharing) so it won't work. Also,There is a feature request for Foxtrotgps to support a new location sharing service without the need for a proxy. but it needs a valid IP that i don't have it on FR. Do you know any other application that lets sharing location like tangoGPS ?

It is long time just debian based have been used on pc ,there is not problems and knowing linuxs . but important question , does FR catch owner time each day for any reason ?e.g for almost all activity with FR should users spend time each day ? I wouldn't have paid extra for the pouch, but my Freerunner came with one and I use it. I keep it in my pocket, clipped to a belt loop.

Re: some questions before buying FreeRunner
In The Name Of God Thanks alot for your replies ; 3-Can other car chargers be used to charge FR ? Yes, but you need to tell FR (software) to start the charging So e.g nokia car chargers jack is the same as FR car charger ? FR has a standard mini-usb receptable. So ,almost all chargers do not have usb jack ... If charger output voltage was the same can we add usb jack to charger ? The FR needs 5V, preferably at 500mA or 1A. If your charger can supply that then making a jack adapter won't be a problem. Do NOT use a charger supplying 5.5V as it will probably damage the FR. If your charger can give 1A then when making the adapter you can put a 47k resistor between pin 4 and ground on the mini-B connector. That lets the FR identify it as being able to take 1A so it will automatically start charging at the full rate. Car USB adapters are widely available though, and the USB mini-B connector is used by a numer of phone manufacturers now. There were reports in the wiki from people using TomTom and Motorola car chargers IIRC. The only problem you may have is that there was no standard for the use of the ID pin (pin 4) so the current capability may be incorrectly detected. Do you mean without that 47k resistor ,Fr will detect current lower or higher ?what will happen after that (detect incorrectly) . Another questions ; 1- Should pouch be bought ,Without pouch ,ISn't there any problem with carring FR with ourself without pouch ? 2-Do you advice a laser stylus or small one (normal one) ? 3- So ,do you advice to fix FR ourslef ? is there any common problems for those want to fix their self ? 3-What other things and issues ,Do you advice to be attended before and while buying FR ?

And i don't know a definitive way to tell which will work except to try it or to search the wiki. But search did not find anything ...would anyone tell his/her experience ? The problem with experience is that for some (unknown to me) reasons many people talk about how good it would be to use a bt headset for GSM talks but too few seem to actually try it. And it's supported for more than 2 months in FSO already iirc. Anyone had bluetooth headset ?which brand ? 5-What part of non buzz fixed A6 has buzz ?How can we understand if it is fixed or not ? Headset can be used to hear to the music or to use headset mic to record voice notes or for whatever (you might want to utilize headset button in some creative way). Some people report that in some conditions buzz is not too much even with a headset so sometimes it's possible to use it for GSM. And no FR version that is in shops atm prevents buzz from the headset mic anyway. 6-Dealer has said that it's A6 FR is buzz fixed ,should i trust ? what can i do if he/she posted it in our country and was not buzz fixed ? What dealer? How can we tell if you can trust someone if we don't know whom are you talking about? This http://openmoko.kd85.com/ it's in wiki list . Ok, i hope others will tell you their experience with him. 3-Can other car chargers be used to charge FR ? Yes, but you need to tell FR (software) to start the charging So e.g nokia car chargers jack is the same as FR car charger ? FR has a standard mini-usb receptable. So ,almost all chargers do not have usb jack ... If charger output voltage was the same can we add usb jack to charger ?

I think it is very unlikely that you will be able to get an Openmoko phone to work for you with Farsi text unless you able to do some programming, or at least port some code. (Afsoos mikhoram!) I was c++ PHP programmer before but now i'm not ; anda should be someone a pro programmer to use openmoko ? (chera afsoos?) SHR supports UTF-8 and RTL languages. Isn't that enough? How about keyboard ?Is it possible to use farsi or at least arabic key board without problem ? Of course, I say partially tested, because I didn't try out an input method. If someone could do that, I'd be curious to know if it works. By the way, I believe SCIM can handle Persian transliteration from a QWERTY keyboard, so that might be a quick work around until someone makes a Farsi keyboard what is input method ?so how did you send that message ? you can test with arabic keyboard .

It's good that you can just buy it and try yourself - but I'd think at least OM2009 should be able to do it. when someone here ask question ,he/she needs other experiences before buying .In Iran if i bought it and then it did not fulfill needs who will buy that from me ?i can say maybe no one in iran use openmoko phone . so i'll be thankfull someone answer exacltly . 2-Where can Freerunner be bought with minimum price ,in europ and asia ? You might again want to compare, ther's a list of distributors at openmoko.com yes there is a page : http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributors But i was interested if there is a seller that sells FR less than those prices ? anda it is probable those prices have been changed ,isnt it ? 3-Can we have stream gprs from phone to pc by bluetooth by FR ?

In The Name Of God Thanks alot for your exact attentions ; Yes kapetein that was the need .

Sound is generally equivalent to other phones I have used, but changing the volume settings if the provided ones don't suit you is not simple yet. There are a few problems to be aware of with sound too: * Buzz - Under some circumstances the person at the other end of the call may hear buzz as well as your voice. This can vary from quiet to loud. There is a fix for this on the handset mic, but not for the wired headset. You should check with the reseller that you are buying one with the fix applied. * Weak bass on wired headset - this is not a problem for voice, but isn't so good for music. A workaround for the wired headset problems is to use a bluetooth headset, but AFAIK none of the distros has a GUI for this yet. ok no problem with not being gui . The current distros generally send and receive calls and SMS without too many problems, though bugs do crop up from time to time as some of the software is changing quickly. Some people are happy to use it as an everyday phone, while for others it is missing features they consider vital. There is no general agreement on which is best, though Qtopia is probably most similar to a conventional phone. If you are expecting something that has a polished interface and behaves like a conventional smartphone you will be disappointed. If you want a small handheld computer with phone capabilities and an unprecedented level of control, but which requires some dedication to get the best out of, you will probably be happy. no gui is not important for me ,just there is need some time in day to have safe call ,send and rec sms and voice . but another question ,how about androide ?koolu has been installed on it ... anda how about price ,what do you think ,will it's price decrease ? where can Fr with min price be found ?under 330$ ? I can't comment on whether it is usable with farsi, but it is possible nobody has tried. yes but no problem if openmoko will be better and stable in future . ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community Regards dehqan ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
