Re: New Qtopia-Images fixes suspend problem nearly complete!
The trick may work. But I'm not sure booting from an SD works if the first partition is a swap partition (as opposed to the vfat parition it expects). Can you boot from SD with your setup? Or is that not something you mess with? -Steven On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 1:27 PM, Andrew Burgess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 8/11/08, Pawel Kowalak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> It's not that easy.

Re: New Qtopia-Images fixes suspend problem nearly complete!
I might've spoken too soon. I think it does help to unmout/remount. I just noticed that the reason/method of the resume has an effect on this issue. In my debugging, I added scripts to /etc/apm/suspend.d/ and /etc/apm/resume.d/ that would unmount and remount my partitions. This didn't seem to make any difference. However, I'm currently in an area that has no cell signal and therefore doesn't get woken up by those pesky cell broadcast messages. So, my Neo is waking up from pressing the power button only now. When it does that, combined with the unmount/remount hack, the partition table is not affected. -Steven On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 12:12 PM, Steven ** <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I did try this.

Re: New Qtopia-Images fixes suspend problem nearly complete!
This problem has been around for ages, I remember when I was using Linux on my iPaq H6315, the devs had the same problem. A quick workaround was that they did not suspend the SD controller. Not optimal, sure, but it seemed to work. What about calling sync before suspend? Cheers, Federico On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 11:53 PM, Craig B.

Re: New Qtopia-Images fixes suspend problem nearly complete!
There is another problem that seems to plague not just all the OM kernels but other projects (OLPC in particular, who have been trying to solve this issue for a couple months) - the SD card partition being trashed after a suspend/resume cycle. My assumption is that this a problem with the Linux kernel and that eventually a fix will emerge and several projects will cheer. So while it's a plus that basic phone services work after suspend/resume, I still cannot use my FR as a music player nor for GPS, since I want both music and map files on my SD card.

I can't wait to develop applications for the Om but at the moment I feel a bit lost with it because there's no api-documentation, no basic ui you want to or can develop for. If Om will have a base to work on it will grow very very fast! But at the moment I dunno what to do with it because the basics are not working.

Re: New Qtopia-Images fixes suspend problem nearly complete!
well -- correct me if I am wrong, but the irony of the situation is that suspend/wakeup is handled by the kernel, and qtopia images use stock kernel from OM. Thus whatever suspend/resume achievements you see - they are solely due to OM developers. qtopia relevant pros though: call/receive after resume, absent explicit wake up on GSM activity, etc indeed are nice and it is really strange that OM's images are "not yet there" since qtopia proves that kernel part is good enough already (not to say that ASU/2008.2 are based on qtopia) qtopia has 1 very annoying to me issue though -- if I receive a phone call, and click on answer button -- it takes 2-4 seconds for the phone to actually react -- thus I often lost some phone calls which is annoying. Well -- may be in upcoming 4.4 qtopia release it becomes better (lpotter mentioned slightly speedier experience) and what you experience is 'white screen of death' -- you might search for it -- there is bug report somewhere On Sun, 10 Aug 2008, Rorschach wrote: > Hi fellows, > I tested a few minutes ago with my Neo Freerunner the new qtopia image > (4.32-080808) which was released yesterday.
