They are just WiFi phones, no GSM no Linux. Both of these apps have staff that are constantly moving around and don't have a desk phone. Similar scenario, on which I am working right now, is Disaster Management and Relief Operations and supplementing these activities using the FR. Build an app that caters to these folks and adds together WiFi + GPS + GSM For Disaster management, Sahana is a FOSS web application just made for this purpose which has been used in real world situations. Building a solution that caters to the similar needs of Disaster reporting and data collection could well be very effective and useful for such critical solutions, with such a handy and powerful device. For a hotel -- from the phone, check status of any room. Use the phone as a master key for cleaning staff. The central Sahana server can keep track of On Field relief workers, broadcast them instructions or alerts based on their GPS location. Like, need to relocate and assign a different task ? Or say, urgently address a situation at a nearby location e.g. a victim who needs immediate help. When a phone leaves the building (loses WiFi VOIP registration) switch to GSM and note it in the server. This is a very kool thing to have, ideally we can communicate to the Sahana server over Wifi, GPRS, and SMS too. I wrote the SMS server side part, which i am still expanding. So you could just have a daemon running, which sends the GPS location of the Field Reporter, via an SMS in a timely manner. Acting like a real time GPS tracking for Sahana's system keeping track of all volunteers. Moreover, there is currently a new module in development, by Dominic on the Sahana project, which is the Dead Body Tracking and Disaster Victim Identification (in short: DVI) for Sahana. This would include body search on the scene, one thing you would preferably carry a GPS-enabled handy data input device and a hand full of labels with you .The module should be enabled to mark found items on a scene map, e.g. a grid, that's what the search team usually does. The phone, could well be used for such a purpose, if it had a camera too, it could take pictures. And an app to generate Bar codes for each body. Later it can be connected to a printer to print the bar codes and fix them on the bodies. Just few more possibilities to the list :-) I am working on this project, which aims to use the FR as an effective Disaster reporting tool for Sahana, a FOSS Disaster management system [ www.sahana.lk]. GPS, Wifi are key hardware components to start off for this, and later we can use the other modes like SMS, GPRS to exchange data between the Sahana server and the phone using a client application.

Basic usabilty questions
Hello, I love the FDOM distribution (suspend works!!! audio works!!! etc). But... How can I raise the speakerphone volume? I tried editing: /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state and adjusting the volume to higher than 127 but nothing happens. I cannot get GPRS to start automatically, either with the ppp_on_boot script or with the iface entry in /etc/network/interfaces Also, is it true that GPRS has issues when you put the phone to sleep? This does not seem to be the case for me. When will my contacts list show all of my contacts? I think it doesn't show any that begin with a 1 (the US number). However, if someone texts me it never shows their name UNLESS they have a 1 in their name. Very frustrating. These are all read off the SIM card, of course. thanks -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Basic-usabilty-questions-tp1107176p1107176.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: GPRS OpenMoko for ATT/Cingular
I used the same settings and edited the files above, and made sure the service was running but no such luck... sorry but can you tell me EXACTLY what you did (not in details, just something like first I downloaded these necessary files, then I installed the service, then I configured the pap files, etc?) thanks!

Qtopia 3.33 Volume Too Low
Just flashed the newest qtopia to a 1gb sd card... any ideas as to why the volume is super low, no matter what I set it to in the control panel? thanks -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Qtopia-3.33-Volume-Too-Low-tp840634p840634.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Qtopia 3.33 Volume Too Low
sorry, it seems a fix was here all along:
http://n2.nabble.com/qtopia-update-tp832851p835065.html

I was able to fix this by tweaking the 'Speaker Playback Volume' in
/usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state. Updated this value to 127
(was set to 100) and the volume is back to normal for me.
control.4 {
comment.access 'read write'
comment.type INTEGER
comment.count 2
comment.range '0 - 127'
iface MIXER
name 'Speaker Playback Volume'
value.0 127
value.1 127
}

Om2008 as a day phone
I recently removed FSO and put Om on the freerunner; pretty happy overall but I have some serious contentions with the Qtopia address book and the suspend function. I didn't like the previous 2007.7 address book either, but the qtopia one is SO slow. Is there a way to easily install the FSO version, or something simpler? Also, as you all know the phone sometimes doesn't wake from suspend mode. This is very annoying, and I been able to find the fix yet. Also, when connecting to wifi networks WITHOUT any wep or wpa, the wifi navigator (in settings) doesn't connect me. Finally, has anyone gotten midori to work yet? I keep getting dependency errors, and --nodeps doesn't help. If I could get the first two out of the way, I'd have an excellent day-use phone. thanks! yochai -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Om2008-as-a-day-phone-tp782106p782106.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Om2008 as a day phone
Right that's pretty much when it happens to me as well, except sometimes, even after I disconnect it I still have problems. Right now opkg is updating VERY slowly, and GPRS multiplexing refuses to work. Other than that, its good as a phone (I wish we had a better contact manager!). Thanks for the replies, and let me just say, Treviño I'm a big fan of your work. yochai -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Om2008-as-a-day-phone-tp782106p783190.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Problems with Debian/FSO
First let me say how impressed I am with the script produced by the debian arm team, really great stuff. I've got it running on a 2gb sd card, boots into xfce with no problems (simply followed these instructions: http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td735065). A few issues, though: DHCPDISCOVER runs at every boot, then times out. How do I disable this? I have no problems manually configuring my wifi with iwconfig but I can't seem to get THAT to work without having it time out. xfce-panel doesn't always startup. I have to enter terminal and run nohup xfce-panel to get it to work properly. I also can't right-click--thus I can't change the panel settings. zhone works, can make calls, etc but CANNOT receive calls. Why is this? Thanks a lot guys, keep up the good work and remember that we are the TRUE open source mobile community. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Problems-with-Debian-FSO-tp778798p778798.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: No /dev/mmcblk0 ?
One thing I've noticed is that if there is NO SIM in the phone, it doesn't read the card. I guess it holds it down, or something. Ben Lake wrote: Hello, I received my FR about a month or two ago and after some initial playing around I shelved it as I didn't have much time to try and make it a viable phone. Now 2008.8 is out and the Qtopia release I wanted to see if I could make it useful :) After some fine help on IRC to clarify the wiki, I managed to flash to 2008.8 and an Aug. 13 u-boot build. The reason I even bothered with the u-boot flash was because I couldn't seem to find the SD card device /dev/mmcblk0 on my stock FR, then on 2008.8. So it was suggested to me on IRC that I try the MMC init commands on the u-boot console. mmcinit failed me. I flashed u-boot and tried again. Failure. I haven't h4x0red anything on this phone hardware or software wise. So I'm wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot the issue or if I just got a dud? Also, I tested the MicroSD card in another computer and it worked fine. I also tried reseeding it for a few boots. Any help would be appreciated! For all the active devs, thanks!

Re: Moving my 2007.2 to SD to try 2008.8 with fallback solution
I currently have Qtopia on my microSD, it doesn't work 100% but enough to use it as a backup phone OS. The key is to follow the wikis--- but make sure you format and fill the sd card from a linux box, not from the phone. do everything as root. also, make sure to update your u-boot so that it can handle fat and ext file systems. finally, be very careful in uploading the root filesystem -- -make sure you mount a .jffs2 (follow the wiki) on your linux box and then FROM that you should create a tarball --- -which you THEN and only THEN move over to the rootfs partition of the sd card. Otherwise some important dev nodes get lost in the process. wiki I used to start: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD good luck yochai Olivier Berger wrote: Hi. I thought of moving my currently running (quite fine alhough the usual problems, i.e. I can place calls anyway) 2007.2 system to microSD, so that I could flash the new 2008.8 image and run it from flash (it seems I cannot manage to run it from SD, btw). Would you recommend a good procedure for moving my 2007.2 system to SD ? And would it run fine from SD too, once moved ? Thanks in advance.
