I'm everything but an expert (quite the contrary..) but maybe the
programmers can learn something valuable from you
if it works with some images and not with another, they might be able to
identify (part) of the problem.

It might be useful if you post some more information:
(type of sim card, images that work, images that don't work)

 Subject: T-Mobile with ASU on GTA01?

 Hi all,

 Hopefully I get my terminology right.

 Late last year there were some issues with the T-Mobile SIMs and the GTA01.
 I got side-tracked on my GTA01 efforts and never sent my phone in for the
 firmware update.  A few days ago I tried an OpenMoko build from late April,
 and found it worked with the T-Mo SIM.  For fun, I also played with the FSO
 image, and had no problem.

 When I flashed a current ASU image (if my terminology is correct, the ASU
 image is the Qt/X11 image), it didn't work.  The signal strength indication
 would change from time-to-time, but when I dialed it just said dialing, and
 the phone on the other end didn't ring.  (There was also no indication that
 the phone had registered with the T-Mobile network.)

 Has anyone seen this?  Should I even be expecting it to work?

 Thanks!

You may have one of the broken GSM modems. From my four phones two have
a broken GSM - that's 50%.

They constantly reconnect to the cell tower and inbetween the can't make
phone calls and loose the GPRS connection but without notifying the
pppd.

This is the same with the mature OM2007.2 images as well as with the

The bug in question is:
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1024


The big problem with Openmoko is this not invented here mentality. The
OM2007.2 images were working well, GTK is a valid platform for mobile
gadgets (see Nokia N700, N800, N810), you can add bling (see clutter)
and there is a huge developer base. The qtopia port to X adds a second
huge developer base.

But instead of going on and having a base for testing the hardware,
there came this change to ASU and etk which probably 0.1% of Linux
developers use. And despite what Lauer  Co try to make us believe, this
alienates GTK and qt developers. Just look on the planets of KDE and
GNOME - nearly no mentionings. The developer mailing list: a big void.

But the real problem here is that basically due to this reinventing the
wheel with ASU nobody inside Openmoko has ever really used the phones
thus plenty of things which could have come up simply got lost. If Sean,
Wolfgang and Steve would have started to exclusivly eat their own
dogfood, i.e. using the Neo as their daily phone, things like
oszillating GSM modems, non working GPS, SIM cards, deep discharge
batteries, noisy headsets would have been since long ironed out.

Before now all the fanbois jump onto me and accuse me of trolling:
in order to come to some lifestyle competitor of Apple the important
thing is that the basics work and that they work reliably. Accepting
brokeness as part of freedom is doing a disservice to the free software
world.

And it is even more unacceptable as there were 5000 people buying a Neo
1973 more or less for nothing. They all would have been more than happy
to participate in advancing the Neo.

The point being: the Neo *is* a fantastic concept. Bring it there. Stop
ASU, concentrate on the basics, get the gtk and qt communities in.

 Can't confirm this for 100% of the cases, I did some calls on the 1973 over
the last year, even ones with some minutes and it was fine. The main problem
was the miserable sound quality. At least that seems to be hardware-fixed in
GTA02.
Didn't test much GPRS, but had no loss of connection yet.

This is the same with the mature OM2007.2 images as well as with the

Imho the OM2007.2 images are all but mature. Even ASU is more predictable
and reliable (except the Qtopia on X11 parts).
Qtopia is ok, Qtopia on X11 is a mess and still not really working most of
the time.

 That is a very interesting engineering approach...


:(



 The bug in question is:
 http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1024


 The big problem with Openmoko is this not invented here mentality. The
 OM2007.2 images were working well, GTK is a valid platform for mobile
 gadgets (see Nokia N700, N800, N810), you can add bling (see clutter)
 and there is a huge developer base. The qtopia port to X adds a second
 huge developer base.


Like said before, they are (at least for me) all but working well (not even
to mention the UI design with 2-color icons without ever knowing what they
might mean).
I don't see how GTK will bring the huge userbase. Nobody knew about
EFL/ASU/FSO from the release of neo1973 until december, but there barely was
any development.
In my opinion the reason is, that there was no real API, mostly not even
backends (except a messy GPSD and GSMD).
The FSO-stack is what's needed to get that API and to get the developers.
They don't want to have a 1-Toolkit-Strategy, they mostly want a nice stack
to work with and use for their frontend what ever they want. Btw. - the main
developer of the so called Underground realized that a year ago.
The userbase of Nokias Internet Tablet Series is huge, but it looks for me
as the developerbase isn't that big in relation, and that with a GTK-stack.
Even Nokia bought Trolltech, and I bet they'll drop GTK eventually (and this
is a huge sign, as GTK is LGPL and so much more interesting for commercial
and closed source apps than Qtopia with GPL and commercial licenses!). They
are paying the Trolltech folks now, and they are also paying EFL developers.
Looks like the CAN see beyond their own nose.
Qtopia doesn't add a huge developer base. Qtopia was used mainly in closed
environments, there is no open source developerbase. Note that I talk about
Qtopia, not about Qt. I like Qt as much I like GTK and I think both are
really necessary on the Openmoko platform (as much as I dislike much parts
of KDE and especially GNOME).

The biggest project with the NIH-syndrom is definitely GNOME. They do _all_
from scratch, they'd never ever use anything that's not from them. Hell, I'm
glad that there is FDO to coordinate between them and the (still imho) much
less arrogant KDE people.

The bling-argument with clutter can be just a joke, talking about a
platform without OpenGL capable drivers (and for the coming device even
without OpenGL capable hardware).


 But instead of going on and having a base for testing the hardware,
 there came this change to ASU and etk which probably 0.1% of Linux
 developers use. And despite what Lauer  Co try to make us believe, this
 alienates GTK and qt developers. Just look on the planets of KDE and
 GNOME - nearly no mentionings. The developer mailing list: a big void.


I don't see your point here (exepct that you are GTK- and maybe
GNOME-developer and don't like other platforms).
Etk behaves under Illume/Enlightenment just like GTK and Qt do. There's no
difference at all.
Nobody is forced to use Etk and nobody ever will. The difference is, that
you can use what you want without to be forced to use something specifically
(like Qtopia without X11). Im also glad, that it looks like there is no need
for Evolution and GConf in future, I personally don't like them and don't
want to be forced to use them.


Re: T-Mobile with ASU on GTA01?

2008-07-09 Thread Wolfgang Spraul
Dear Marcus,
your mail touches many subjects and let me just pick out a few:

First of all thanks for buying 4 phones from us! We are still an 'Open  
Source project' more than a company and people need to believe in the  
bigger picture to buy from us now.

Believe it or not - we all eat our own dog food. You cannot believe  
how many mails Steve wrote to me complaining about his broken/buggy/ 
unchargeable/etc. Neo.
I admit that I am carrying two phones around with me, a Blackberry and  
a Neo.
Want to replace the Blackberry but we are not there yet.

 dogfood, i.e. using the Neo as their daily phone, things like
 oszillating GSM modems, non working GPS, SIM cards, deep discharge
 batteries, noisy headsets would have been since long ironed out.

Exactly our top priorities. I am amazed by how closely you are  
watching what's going on with Openmoko.
Let me just clarify this: We are not (knowingly) shipping defective  
products.
Our complete production testing software is under GPL now 
(http://git.openmoko.org/?p=system-test-suite.git;a=summary 
)
Every peripheral of every phone is tested in the factory.
(BTW, we are trying to open this up more, with open factory statistics  
etc. But that's a long-term goal)

So some people see bugs. All the things you list above.
In certain situations, certain countries, with certain GSM base  
stations, certain SIM cards, etc. etc.
And after months and months of improving the Neo, we decided to start  
shipping. Get more Neos out into real life, get more customer feedback.
Because in the end that's the only thing that can really focus the  
whole company.
Engineers are self-loving animals sometimes. Do not over-estimate the  
power Sean or me or Steve have over some of these guys.
But when the mailing lists have people who paid money for their  
phones, everybody will listen.

Openmoko is different, we do all this openly.
If you want to return your two non-working phones, I'm sure we find a  
solution. We will absolutely make sure that you get two fully  
functioning phones in return.
Hope this helps (a bit, I know you still have 2 phones with broken GSM  
as you say), keep us honest :-)
Best Regards,
Wolfgang

Some of the icons are all but intuitive but this is a question of the

 The FSO-stack is what's needed to get that API and to get the

The FSO-stack is another case of reinventing the wheel. It sounds nice

eds and whatever in the KDE world or qtopia is used. It took years for
them to grow mature and nobody needs yet another API.

The thing is that Michael Lauer massively dislikes C and needs
everything reinvented in Python. C has its place in the embedded world
as much as Python has. But again we cut a huge slice out of the
developer base.

The current work separation between gsmd and phone-kit is a very clever
one, but again not invented here but at o-hand. There have been plenty
of alternatives been offered for the current gsmd but they were all
blocked out. And many of those people simply left. 


 The userbase of Nokias Internet Tablet Series is huge, but it looks
 for me as the developerbase isn't that big in relation, and that with
 a GTK-stack.

What makes you think this will be different with ETK? This means even
less developers.

 Even Nokia bought Trolltech, and I bet they'll drop GTK eventually

And shortly afterwards Nokia bought Symbian. They are not going to drop
any of the three. They just do everything to put up a front against
Google's Android. That's what they fear.

 They are paying the Trolltech folks now, and they are also paying EFL
 developers.

Yes, there is a cool application for connecting the N800 to your car
electronics and see into the engine management. The point being is that
there are way less ETK developers than GTK developers or qt developers

 Again on the developers: they had nothing to work with.

This is simply not true. It was just a lack of documentation. And I
can't help it, but this has been deliberately blocked in order to pave
the way for this ASU/FSO. Even developers from o-hand who developed for
Openmoko in their freetime finally left the boat being completely
disgusted by the fact of constantly running against walls.

  FSO with it's dbus-api will make this much easier

IMHO this is just pure nonsense. I know that it has been repeated over
and over again by Michael Lauer because it is his baby. It is one big
pack that rather would be split in tiny packages. That makes development
and debugging a lot easier. Moreover this will take another two years
until it has some API stability. A huge API like this doesn't come
overnight.
Last not least: if you want to use your code in the future on a moblin
device you are just doomed/trapped in an API that nobody else uses.

Hehe, was just researching how much effort it would be to port to openmoko.
Does not look too bad. It runs python and uses gtk or efl as frameworks.
It heavily uses hildon stuff, but mot of them should be easily replaceable.
I'm not going to do this in the next time. But it seems doable.
What i did not check yet is how much their interface code depends on 
screen resolution. I expect very much.
But regarding the small screen on openmoko, some redesign seems a good 
idea anyways...

The nice thing would be that openmoko could provide accelerometer data 
and gps out of the box...

I've not used the ASU on a 1973, but I know I've never been able to
place calls using the ASU on Freerunner and I use T-Mobile in the USA
with the exception of the first image released.

I've always assumed ASU just didn't work.

 Hi all,

 Hopefully I get my terminology right.

 Late last year there were some issues with the T-Mobile SIMs and the
 GTA01.  I got side-tracked on my GTA01 efforts and never sent my phone
 in for the firmware update.  A few days ago I tried an OpenMoko build
 from late April, and found it worked with the T-Mo SIM.  For fun, I also
 played with the FSO image, and had no problem.

 When I flashed a current ASU image (if my terminology is correct, the
 ASU image is the Qt/X11 image), it didn't work.  The signal strength
 indication would change from time-to-time, but when I dialed it just
 said dialing, and the phone on the other end didn't ring.  (There was
 also no indication that the phone had registered with the T-Mobile network.)

 Has anyone seen this?  Should I even be expecting it to work?

 Thanks!

No ASU is a pre alpha set of applications.
