I will try to reproduce and fix it. Btw how did you import address book? Via bluetooth and VCF file or any other way?

Wifi is working with wpa2 AES and now i can start using the email programm, which is _very_ nice!

There can be still problem with no sound on incoming call. The only workaround i know is to make outgoing call after boot (e.g. to some cost free number) and all incoming calls will be ok after that. With X application support you can now use TangoGPS for mapping, links2 for web browsing, you can play doom, tons of games in scummvm - the possibilities are nearly endless. You can also switch to USB host and attach USB keyboard which will work for X applications. For more information please visit links [1] [2] [3] [4]. The support for X applications still needs some more work. I would appreciate if someone could help me understand why X server cannot be started from within Qtopia. It always hangs in VT_WAITACTIVE. I am now solving this with simple helper program [5] that starts before Qtopia. To me it looks that Qtopia takes over virtual terminal and when X tries to allocate it - it hangs. So this needs clean solution and understanding the problem. Any help would be very welcome. In next days I will be on holidays on my bike so i will get to mail on Monday.

And it feels stable. however, there are a few glitches. * Alarm doesnt start, when the phone is suspended. it just starts a few seconds after manually resuming the phone. * Wifi doesnt work. It just doesnt connect. * sms longer then 160 characters are sent succesfully and received by the other phone. However, sending such a sms to qtmoko doesn't work somehow. it only gets received after a reboot. * The phone shouldnt suspend when e.g. trying to connect to wifi or in gps mode. * Bluetooth worked, somehow. i activated BT, was able to receive and send files, but then it suspended before i couldnt turn BT off again - after that, the bt config dialog told me, that bt would not be availible. Furthermore i would like to ask a few questions/for feature requests. i know the keyboard debate is getting old. but i always wondered why would couldnt have a keyboard just like a usual phone, like the keyboard which is used at pin input (like this one here: http://lwn.net/images/qpe/call_sm.png ) with some corrective mechanism as the illume keyboards of shr do (for writing sms at least). and i really really would appreciate a small lightweight jabber client and a SIP client.

Tschaka wrote: however, there are a few glitches. * Alarm doesnt start, when the phone is suspended. it just starts a few seconds after manually resuming the phone. Hi, yes, this is another known issue (with quite high priority) on my list. FSO based images used ffalarms and atd for alarm. I need to investigate how to install and make it work on debian. So this is rather unimplemented feature that bug. * Wifi doesnt work. It just doesnt connect. another known one probably trivial bug. You can use terminal and use iwconfig as a workaround for now. * sms longer then 160 characters are sent succesfully and received by the other phone. However, sending such a sms to qtmoko doesn't work somehow. it only gets received after a reboot. This is interesting - i just tested it and got a bit different but still incorrect behaviour. I recieved just the first part of SMS. So i can at least somehow reproduce it and take a look. * The phone shouldnt suspend when e.g. trying to connect to wifi or in gps mode. If you run tangogps using QX then it shouldnt go to suspend. I will implement it also for other apps launched from QX - this should be quite simple. I dont know how hard would it be to do it in wifi dialog and in other places where it's needed. * Bluetooth worked, somehow. i activated BT, was able to receive and send files, but then it suspended before i couldnt turn BT off again - after that, the bt config dialog told me, that bt would not be availible. Yes, i know this issue too. Didnt have time to take a look at it yet. Reboot solves it for now. Furthermore i would like to ask a few questions/for feature requests. i know the keyboard debate is getting old. but i always wondered why would couldnt have a keyboard just like a usual phone, like the keyboard which is used at pin input (like this one here: http://lwn.net/images/qpe/call_sm.png ) with some corrective mechanism as the illume keyboards of shr do (for writing sms at least). I am not happy with any virtual keyboard too - so if none else comes with solution i will work on this when time comes. and i really really would appreciate a small lightweight jabber client and a SIP client. Me too :) Thanks for your efforts! Thanks for report. All those bugs are on my list so hopefully sooner or later they could be fixed.

Tested basic functionalities. SMS, Calls works fine.Yes can be used as a daily phone. Bluetooth is present. I didn't have another phone with bluetooth atm, so don't know if that would work, but atleast the options show up ;) Some issues though: * On first boot, when i pressed the dialer button on the homescreen, QtMoko crashed and went blank with only a cursor blinking at the top-left corner. I was hoping for it to do a restart of QtMoko, but even after a few minutes it didn't respond so i had to remove the battery. On next boot this didn't occur. Next time maybe i'll get time to catch some logs. * Tango GPS opened fine, (I couldn't test the GPS as i know i'll not get a fix inside the building, i'll test it later in the day) but after closing there is a cursor on the bottom-left corner of the QtMoko, but that is just a aesthetic requirement. Thank you Radek, a great amount of work has gone into making this build. I must say it's been shaping out nicely! Personally Qtmoko is an awesome distribution and that's what i use as daily phone.. with support for TangoGPS, it'll give rise to a whole new level of (healthy) competition to the other distros!
