[Openmoko] No numbers on the keyboard?
Hi folks, I just received my FreeRunner yesterday, and I have a problem: The keyboard that shows up when I am going to enter my PIN code only has lower-case letters! There is no shift/caps lock either... Is this just a missing basic feature, or have my technology insight failed me? I am still using the Om that came pre-installed (should I flash SHR?). I would also like to know how to open a terminal (do I have to install one from the rep.?)... All help appreciated! -- Save humanity from self-destruction - STOP POPULATION GROWTH! Don't bother sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. They make me puke. Read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html and you will too. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I am still using the Om that came pre-installed (should I flash SHR?). Since that software is way over 1 year old, I suspect it would be better to flash either SHR or QTMoko (or what is it called now?) to improve battery life (a lot!) and gain stability. I would also like to know how to open a terminal (do I have to install one from the rep.?)... If you install SHR, you'll get one. Not sure about Qt... HTH!

I am still using the Om that came pre-installed (should I flash SHR?). if that is still the 2007.x flavour -- update by all means! ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Yes, that is correct, but I didn't know that finger gestures on the keyboard would work. I even figured how to delete characters ;D I am still using the Om that came pre-installed (should I flash SHR?).

I'll flash SHR since it is most used. _ Save humanity from self-destruction -- STOP POPULATION GROWTH! Don't bother sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. They make me puke.
