(see http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-December/038807.html) Let's assume the "On Battery" Power Management settings for "Dim light", "Display off" and "Suspend" are 10s, 30s and 1min and after using the phone, I'll put it in a pocket. The touch screen will be touched all the time... and "Suspend" (or even "Display off" etc) might never be reached!

Screen lock currently will only lock the screen, but won't assure the "Suspend" (or "Display off", if "Suspend" is disabled etc) to happen. (If nothing will touch the screen, I don't need a screen lock.) Why is the Screen lock not setting the display to "Display off" or even invoke a suspend (if this is enabled) after a couple of seconds. That's better for the battery, or not? Therefore the idea to manually suspend the FR... and to have an icon for that, which is easy to reach and not needed any more, since the screen of a suspended FR needs not to be locked.

Proper way is to just let it suspend on it's own.

You would have to edit the code and recompile, as this is not how the screen
lock currently works.

[QtExtended] Proper way to invoke suspend?
Hello,
on a Linux system (with ACPI) it is possible to invoke a suspend through
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
(see http://ols.fedoraproject.org/OLS/Reprints-2008/brown-reprint.pdf (chapter
5, 6th page 42);
http://www.linux.com/articles/54610,
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html,
http://www.columbia.edu/~ariel/acpi/acpi_howto.txt (section 23.2),
http://www.linux-magazin.de/heft_abo/ausgaben/2004/02/einschlaf_hilfen/(offset)/2
(german),...)
Qt Extended on the Neo Freerunner
(http://moko.mwester.net/download/uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin +
http://other.lastnetwork.net/OpenMoko/qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-release-working-with-SystemRingTones.jffs2)
seems to be APM based
(/sys/power/state is also present and `echo mem > /sys/power/state` works)
and `cat /proc/apm` shows some information.
Working on a console (if you have one, which is not default for QtExtended),
section 12.18.8.1.1
of
http://www.uibk.ac.at/linuxdoc/LDP/LDP/Mobile-Guide/html/mobile-guide-p2c1s8-apm.html
shows a nice way to keep an eye on the battery state through the command prompt:
export PS1="\$(cat /proc/apm | awk '{print \$7}') \h:\w\$ "
Invoking a suspend on a APM based systems can be done with
apm -s
I noticed /etc/apm/suspend.d/gsm_suspend, which executes
echo "1" >/sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/flowcontrolled
Is this also needed for a proper suspend? (It seems to work without that.)
In contrast to the information about e.g. how to turn on/off LEDs
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner/Buttons_and_LEDs)
I didn't find this in the OpenMoko Wiki. Maybe because OpenMoko offers the
"Ompower" Power management daemon:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Ompower
This service seems not to be available for QtExtended:
r...@om-gta02:~# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.openmoko.Power /
org.openmoko.Power.Core.ListResources
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.openmoko.Power
was not provided by any .service files
which is not astonishing since
"ompower is a suspend handling daemon talking dbus installed by default since
Om 2008.8"
but apparently not by QtExtended (and /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ is empty).
QtExtended offers (formerly QCop and now Qtopia IPC based) services
(http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/services.html),
which include a pre-defined suspend service
(http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/suspendservice.html)
(also cmp. /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/services)
The qcop command-line tool
(http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/qcop-tool.html) should also be capable
to do the job:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/lib
export PATH=/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin:$PATH
qcop service send Suspend 'suspend()'
There might be more ways to do a suspend...
What is the proper way to suspend the Freerunner for QtExtended?
(Probably the last one. But is there more to be done?)
The next question will be how to configure the lock icon (padlock.png for finxi)
on the home screen (the rightmost icon on the bottom) to be connected with the
suspend command/service... (instead of Screen Lock)
Thanks,
Martin Bernreuther
