[QtMoko] QtMoko v16B, few questions and issues
Hi, I'm a new neo freerunner user, I installed Qtmoko v16B on the NAND. I have few questions: 1) From http://activationrecord.net/radekp/qtmoko/ You should have FAT as first partition and swap on /dev/mmcblk0p4. Can be changed in /etc/fstab It is necessary to create a swap partion on the SD if I use Qtmoko on the NAND? 2) I prefer that GPS, bluetooth and wifi don't start automatically at the boot, wich file I have to edit to do that? 3) In movement writing sms with the default keyboards is not comfortable (my fingers are large :P ), I prefer to use the tipical phone keyboard used in the dialer or to insert the PIN of the SIM card. Is it possible to use this keyboard (maybe with prediction) for sms? how to change the prediction file? 4) it seems to me that the 'rotation' stretches the image on screen, is there another app to rotate the screen without stretch maybe using the accelerometers? 5) are web browser and arora able to read web pages with java and/or flash? 6) For downloadig apps is there a particular repository to add? 7) issues with v16b: after a suspend the devtools do not work properly, it's impossible to turn on GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth and also the bar at the bottom of the screen (with the menu and green arrow) doesn't work properly (clicking the green arrow open or close the menu instead of turning back, I have to click more time to turn back). the devtools and bar seem to work again after some attempts. thank you! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/QtMoko-QtMoko-v16B-few-questions-and-issues-tp4408446p4408446.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

No it's not necessary, but it can help if you are using some memory hungry apps. 2) I prefer that GPS, bluetooth and wifi don't start automatically at the boot, wich file I have to edit to do that? You can add in /etc/inid.d/qpe.sh echo 0 /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/power_on echo s3c2440-sdi /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c2440-sdi/unbind echo 0 /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on Maybe you'll have to power them on manually from the devel menu then. 3) In movement writing sms with the default keyboards is not comfortable (my fingers are large :P ), I prefer to use the tipical phone keyboard used in the dialer or to insert the PIN of the SIM card. Is it possible to use this keyboard (maybe with prediction) for sms? how to change the prediction file? The keyboards should work like plugins. It should be quite easy to write better keyboard. Maybe i'll try to write something usable soon. Not sure about the prediction... 4) it seems to me that the 'rotation' stretches the image on screen, is there another app to rotate the screen without stretch maybe using the accelerometers? I am not aware of such app. Please note that some apps like Arora can autorotate the screen using accelerometers automatically. 5) are web browser and arora able to read web pages with java and/or flash? Probably not. 6) For downloadig apps is there a particular repository to add? The official repo should be already setup in software packages menu. There are about 15 apps there. I am not aware of any other repo. 7) issues with v16b: after a suspend the devtools do not work properly, it's impossible to turn on GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth and also the bar at the bottom of the screen (with the menu and green arrow) doesn't work properly (clicking the green arrow open or close the menu instead of turning back, I have to click more time to turn back). the devtools and bar seem to work again after some attempts. The green arrow in menu is some bug in QT 4.6 Dead bluetooth after suspend is long known problem, but Wifi and GPS should survive suspends just fine. Maybe you can cat the above sysfs files from ssh to see what is happening. Also /etc/inid.d/bluetooth restart can help some.

2010/1/17 Joif fdvj...@vodafone.it: 7) issues with v16b: after a suspend the devtools do not work properly, it's impossible to turn on GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth and also the bar at the bottom of the screen (with the menu and green arrow) doesn't work properly (clicking the green arrow open or close the menu instead of turning back, I have to click more time to turn back). the devtools and bar seem to work again after some attempts. thank you! Hi, I also have some problems with v16b version of qtmoko. 1) can't connect to wifi using the internet settings menu. First it said Wireless LAN unavailable and there was no WLAN detection option in the menu. After many reboots it said Wireless LAN offline (as it should) and it found my network but didn't connect (just said connecting for a while and then said not connected). It did work in some of the earlier versions of qtmoko. But I can connect to wifi from command line with ifconfig usb0 down ; iwconfig eth0 essid my_essid ; udhcpc eth0 (although the udhcpc command takes very long time to get the IP). 2) when trying to delete a configured connection from the internet settings menu, the phone hangs and I have to pull out the battery. 3) the battery level indicator acts weird. Sometimes it shows as it is charging even if the battery is full. Sometimes after restart it shows as the battery is full even if it is maybe only 10%. Sometimes when charging, it doesn't show that it is charging and cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/status says not charging but actually it does charge because after some time the battery is full. 4) bluetooth doesn't work after suspend-resume. But I think the same issue was in all of the earlier versions too and it is an old and known bug. 5) on incoming call the phone only rings a few times and then just vibrates. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

thanks for the answer! Radek Polak wrote: 1) It is necessary to create a swap partion on the SD if I use Qtmoko on the NAND? No it's not necessary, but it can help if you are using some memory hungry apps. and what about its dimension and file system (ext2?)? I have a 8 GB Kingston uSD.

EDIT: it seems that a more determined click on the icon make the devtools work :D Ah, I forgot another issue: yesterday I sent a long sms but receiving an error every time I tried to send it, but the recipient received correctly this sms every time. Also, this recipient sent to me a long sms too but I didn't receive it (tried to reboot but nothing). lastest question (for now :) ): is there a possibility to use MMS? thank you! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/QtMoko-QtMoko-v16B-few-questions-and-issues-tp4408446p4409033.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

But I can connect to wifi from command line with ifconfig usb0 down ; iwconfig eth0 essid my_essid ; udhcpc eth0 (although the udhcpc command takes very long time to get the IP). It's probably kernel related to disabled preempt. The patch already exits. You can either use older kernel or wait for me to make new one :) 2) when trying to delete a configured connection from the internet settings menu, the phone hangs and I have to pull out the battery. Fixed in git and will be in next release. 3) the battery level indicator acts weird. Sometimes it shows as it is charging even if the battery is full.

Sometimes when charging, it doesn't show that it is charging and cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/status says not charging but actually it does charge because after some time the battery is full. Can be also related to kernel config. 4) bluetooth doesn't work after suspend-resume. But I think the same issue was in all of the earlier versions too and it is an old and known bug. Yes 5) on incoming call the phone only rings a few times and then just vibrates. If it wasnt in previous version, then it's again kernel config related.

Also, this recipient sent to me a long sms too but I didn't receive it (tried to reboot but nothing). Seems that there is something wrong how Qtopia handles long SMS messages. Any help welcome :) lastest question (for now :) ): is there a possibility to use MMS? MMS settings are there but havent tried if it works.

Wish: ability to copy from the Notes etc, and inserts in Dialer etc. - Thank you for your attention. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/QtMoko-QtMoko-v16B-few-questions-and-issues-tp4408446p4412033.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
