 So i am going to follow the instruction on

 They say i should activate ophoned in frameworkd. Now my question is:
 What is the use of ophoned, what are the problems that may araise from
 it, and why was it deactivatet in the first place?
 
 Are these instruction still useable at all?
 Maybe you got me some hints, has anybode already used the bt3030?

Hi!

I don't think these instructions are still usable.
ophoned is from the FSO-1.0 days and I'm not sure if it is included at
all in current SHR stages. If it is included, it probably won't work.

I'm sorry I can't give any better instructions... never used any BT headset.

Hello!


 * Arora web browser does not recognize the Return/Enter key, but it
 does recognize the control key.

Did you try to use the integrated keyboard to hit enter ? I've noticed
in Arora that with this keyboard, Arora doesn't make any action if you
hit enter in a form, maybe you've seen the same issue ?

To be sure it's the same issue, normally Enter works when you confirm
the URL in url address bar.

Not really correct! Take a look at this mail:
http://lists.goldelico.com/pipermail/gta04-owner/2013-June/004634.html

I made one step foreward!  It seems, that most Bluetooth keyboards 
support more then one profile. Mine supports SPP and HID. After 
switching to HID (over an ssh login) the input is recognized, but 
rootet to root console instead of the input of program in focus.
I started reading the QT documentation myself, but was daunted. I 
suspect simple for Radek is still too hard for lesser-mortals. ;-)
I did not read anything, so Your more expirienced in that. Did You find 
anything about changing focus of input?

Any update on BT kayboard?

I got mine a few days ago and although it works with my Linux laptop
(connecting using Gnome panel applet), I'm not able to use it with FR.

I've found both articles on Wiki:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freedom_Slim_Keyboard

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#HID_.28Human_Input_Device.29

but the commands doesn't seem to be working. I'm getting the best
results with 

hdid --connect ADDRESS

after which command I have this in dmesg:

[10713.02] Bluetooth: HIDP (Human Interface Emulation) ver 1.2
[10802.37] input: Broadcom Corp.   Keyboard

And if I cat /dev/input/event6 I can see some garbage on the screen
while pressing buttons on my keyboard. 

But If I open terminal or new message dialog, I can't see any letters
while typing on the keyboard.

 Thanks ,

Works like charm together with my FreeRunner (SHR)
Shouldn't be SUCH a problem to also get it running

Yes, I really meant bass fix. I have replaced each 1uF cap with 2x 47uF
caps in parallel. They are isolated by heat-shrinking tube and
everything even fit under the metal cover.

It really helped a lot, no problem using my FR as portable player now.

I have taken some pictures ... anyone interested? I may put them online
if so.

BTW... although my phone seems not to be affected by GSM buzz problems,
I did buzz fix also just for shure.

It was completely wrong! I did some internet search and found that
micropohone like that in FR usually produce signal with amplitude in
tens of mV. I was wondering if the singal was only 0.5mV it wouldn't
probalby get distorted so easily - so I went to check my generator and
saw that the attenuator was set incorrectly and so the signal was
probably way higher than 0.5mV.

oscillation isn't unusual immediately after overload. It isn't a function of 
the overall path gain though. The wolfson has a chain of amps and volume 
controls, and it only needs overload at one of them to introduce distortion. 
Stick the gain too high on the first stage (mic input) and the distortion 
won't go away no matter how far you turn down the gain on later stages. This 
has been a long standing problem with the default volume settings.

 But ... when I was dismounting the phone, I dammaged the bluetooth
 module. The module itself may be OK, but the flex cable is torn off.
 
 Don't you have any idea where can I buy some spare?

I've not seen anyone list them as a spare for sale, but any of the 
distributors might have them available.

 Hi guys,
 
 yesterday I opened my freerunner to check whether mine FR is affected by
 R3004 issue [1]. 
 
 It was, I put a piece of wire there instead of those two caps and volume
 got better! 
 
 I have also connected sine wave from generator to the WD8753 mic input
 and cheched it on the WD8753's output with the oscilloscope. It seemes
 that the audio codec chip gets into trouble (distortion, oscillations)
 if the overall audio path has higher gain than 1. I'm going to write
 more about this soon, with the scope pictures included (taken by my
 camera, I don't have DSO at home :-/ )
 
 
 But ... when I was dismounting the phone, I dammaged the bluetooth

I dont know very much about it, but IIRC sometimes it can be that the headset 
connects to the phone. Not sure if this is the case. It could be seen in the 
bluetooth log how it works.

 Can someone point me in docs or show configs how to configure bluetooth
 network with FreeRunner and my linux box(I have gentoo). I tried read
 wiki.bluez.org but without success... :( Is it only possible configure
 bluetooth on linux (bluez4) through dbus?

 That's actually very easy :) Here is what I do:

 1) Install emtooth and pair with my computer. Once this is done, the
 next time I want to use it I just have to open emtooth and let my
 computer (Linux) connect to the FR.

 2) Don't forget to set a name for the bluetooth device (I personally
 want it to be something else than om-gta-02).

 3) Then I fill in /etc/udhcpd.conf with the following information:

 # The start and end of the IP lease block
 start 192.168.16.17 #default: 192.168.0.20
 end 192.168.16.30 #default: 192.168.0.254


 # The interface that udhcpd will use
 interface bnep0 #default: eth0


 # Other options
 opt dns 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220
 option subnet 255.255.255.0
 opt router 192.168.16.16
 option domain local

 4) And my /etc/network/intrefaces:

 # Bluetooth networking
 iface bnep0 inet static
 address 192.168.16.16
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 network 192.168.16.0
 up udhcpd
 down killall udhcpd

 5) With that configuration, I just need to connect with bluetooth
 networking and my computer automatically gets an IP address via DHCP.
 (I have tested this with Linux and Mac OSX).

 6) (Optional) If you want, you can also use IPtables to give Internet
 access to your computer with the GPRS connection of the FR. (Let me
 know if you need help with this).

 Is it applicable to bluez3 only? bluez3 and bluez4 are mixed in this

 Really? I thought i'd written everything crystal clear :/

   
 so, I make script on FreeRunner
 
 ... 
   
 but I successfully paired desktop with FR sing emtooth and kbluetooth
 and now I don't know what should I do to get bnep0 or somehow create network
 
 What about the trust? I wonder what else could have gone wrong, it all seemed
 so easy after i figured i need to not release the bus...

   
sorry for off-listing. I haven't noticed that messanger change from
field :)

about crystal clearness: here is quote


  Information about bluez4 networking

...


Bluetooth networking concepts

-This HOW-TO- is directly applicable -only to bluez3- but still
worth reading to understand PANU/GN/NAP roles


So, finally I've configured bluetooth network through blueman and
/etc/network/interfaces file on FreeRunner... but it need to be logined
on desktop to work - no automatic connection... :(

about python script - I told him wrong hw address, and now problem have
changed.
Now script writes

Networking established, exit the shell to end this session
and in half of second prints
Networking released

I think line os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, os.environ['SHELL']) is root of evil on my 
FR.

And there goes a link to the old howto on bluez wiki, so my note is
about the howto on the bluez wiki. And the document you're reading on
OM wiki is not a howto at all.

 I think line os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, os.environ['SHELL']) is root of

I am very interested in this, too.. I've wanted to get my FR to connect to my 
bmw car system ever since I got it.. and it always played up, didn't want to 
talk to the car at all.. FR was happy with the BT connect but my radio was 
still asking for data (IIRC, the error codes that the FR BT stack gave was that 
it got a PBAP request which it just simply dropped due to lack of support).. So 
a connection never ever got properly established.. :(

I'll be back home and able to test things on the 3rd of January..

Re: bluetooth hands free car kit

2009-10-20 Thread Russell Hay
It's an OT diversion from the request-  but what's the call quality
like on these things? You see them advertised from £10 to £35 in the
UK, which is a fair way away from the wired in price that 'named
brands' charge.

If they work with the freerunner, I'll get one in an instant!

 Is anyone using a bluetooth hands free kit (e.g, something like this:
 http://www.blueant.com.au/products/speakerphones/s1/index.php) in a car.
 Is the FR able to fully use it, or are some parts not working?

As far as I know QTMoko/QTE currently has no support for the bluez4 stuff that 
is needed to connect 
gsm audio to bluetooth. I think that is what Radek needs to add, right now it 
seems to totally 
ignore the audio state for bluetooth, it can just pair.

(I may be wrong as I have not looked at the bluetooth code for qt in a while).

True if you are on FSO or equivalent, but the OP was referring to QTMOKO, there

Nope, Play() is bluez4 call. So even if you're using qtmoko it doesn't
matter because it's provided by bluetoothd, not fso/whatever.

2009-07-18 Thread Petr Vanek
it seems that while bluez reports status of bluetooth device correctly,
see bellow, fso doesn't see this. what in fso is responsible for
knowing the same thing when asked by oevents rule? or can the rule
check with bluez directly?

i tried going through fso framework as suggested on irc but it just goes
over the top of my head... sorry Paul.

Re: Bluetooth Keyboard for Openmoko

2009-05-31 Thread jeremy jozwik
i just got the wired version of this keyboard. works relatively well, large
enough for two handed typing and the size is about 1.5 freerunners tall.
http://www.gizfever.com/product_info.php?products_id=737

this is the one i got:
http://www.gizfever.com/product_info.php?products_id=681
though the up arrow does not seem to function. which is nice in when using
the terminal...

im going to update the keyboard wiki page when i get back to the states in
about a week

2009/5/29 Staley, Daniel L dlst...@uky.edu

 I would recommend the iGo bluetooth keyboard.  It folds up, is super
 portable...and works great with the freerunner.

 http://www.supermediastore.com/igo-stowaway-ultra-slim-bluetooth-keyboard-for-pda.html
 It even has a holder that can hold the freerunner vertically or
 horizontally while you are typing.

 I was able to find one on ebay for pretty cheap.

 See a clip of me using it to chat in irc here:

The Duraflex Mini shares all the features of the Comfort, but comes without

 That's why I wrote it ;)
 

 It's very nice you work on it. Too bad you use a dead-born deprecated
 distro ;)
   
Well, to be honest I'm a maintainer of a distro called FDTF based on 
Om2008.9+FDOM(September version) I customized for the Italian community 
at http://forum.telefoninux.org. I still use it because it's quite 
stable, telephony works (little qtopia bugs but it's daily usable) and 
with the community suggestions I added various customizations in the 
startup scripts, keyboards, themes and so on. I'm stuck with it because 
I have no much time to re-test everything in FSO-based distros and I 
don't like their telephony-PIM (qtopia IMHO still rocks hard).
So this is my development environment with pros  cons obviously, but I 
think it's better to have a daily quite stable phone rather than 
something updated but quite unusable, I'll wait for real stable releases 
with no one who wants to recreate the wheel from scratch after something 
goes wrong at the end of the job ;)

 As Franky already mentioned, bluez3 and bluez4 interfaces are
 completely different, so porting won't be that easy :-/
   

No probs ;) It's just a matter of code

 One of the reasons FSO integrates functionality of powering and
 resetting devices is exactly that. Higher level app devs shouldn't be
 bothered with kernel changes, FSO quickly adopts to it and you receive
 all updates free. In fact, you might like the idea of FSO, take a look
 at specs ;)
   

Oh, I know and appreciate FSO way but I need something really stable and 
working, not something randomly working after an update :P
Seriously: as I said above I'll make BlueMoko compatible with FSO but 
for my daily use I'll stick with my FDTF until a real stable working 
out-of-the-box distro will be released ;)
Thanks you, bye!

The fact stable telephony is still missing since 2 years doesn't seem

Seriously: BlueMoko is intended mainly as GUI for Bluetooth because 
every 20€ phone has its own... I started as proof-of-concept with those 
dependencies as they are the most stable to my daily use distro and 
working properly for my experiments, but consider it uses only DBUS 
calls to Bluez so if APIs don't change too much (I have to verify) it 
should work with Bluez4 too and for FSO I plan to integrate 
compatibility with it to let it work with every distro (except qtopia 
based obviously, but they should still have their BT GUI). Furthermore I 
didn't read of A2DP support in FSO and BlueMoko started with it in mind ;)
If FSO team agrees too, they can integrate my future plans (file 
exchange, AVRCP, networking...) and we can work together to provide full 
BT support, provided I'd like to customize GUI handling to achieve 
compatibility with different toolkits (GTK, Elementary, console, etc..)

hmm ... I thought end-users were people actually using the phone, not

Om2008, aboeit for bluez3. Oh wait, that's what qtopia does as well
:-) But since the newer kernels are there: no bluez3, thus no qtopia
bluetooth ... hopefully for Om2009 final that'll change.

 Also, the person that wrote that wiki says However, I couldn't get an
 actual voice over it, just crackling. If this is no longer true,
 somebody should change it.

 Somebody should finally try to use this support and report the
 findings. Of course, Jan, who wrote the code, tried it and it worked
 for him. And BTW please take into account it seems that not all
 headsets are compatible with BT chip we use (at least it was the case
 some time ago, i guess i need to try again with my not-working headset
 and latest bluez and bluetooth-testing kernel branch).

sure you do :-)
DBUS calls have changed quite a lot between bluez3 and bluez4. I face
the same problem for QtEi, but I don't feel like doing all that work
on my own there (it's quite a big code change). So for now QtEi has no
bluetooth in newer kernels (if they don't provide the bluez3 package
anymore).

 to crash upon suspend/unsuspend. So after a resume, we need to manually
 restart the daemon. No big deal here, but since the daemon died, it
 seems qtextended no longer reregisters a bluetooth passkey agent when
 we relaunch hcid. As a result no pairings are possible anymore.
 So in short: hcid can't die :-)

what about shutting down hci in a controlled way before suspending or

tried it all, but still nothing. Since there's no passkey agent
anymore, all pairing fails. Weird though, since it worked ok in 2.6.24
I believe, so I wonder why hcid starts to crash. I know also that 2.6.2
kernels should work with bluetoothd (bluez4), but my knowledge of
qtextended and bluetooth version 3/4 is way too limited to try and fix
qtextended to use bluez4.

Re: Bluetooth headsets to the rescue

2009-03-25 Thread Steve Mosher
Perhaps I can clear up some of the confusion about the official fix.

What we have is this as a rough timeline etc.

1. We have Joerg's SOP. Joerg, Werner, Tony Tu and I worked to get this 
document reviewed and out to the community. At that point I wasnt 
apprised of any wired headset mic issue. Joerge put out a draft. I Wasnt 
aware of any wired headset mic issue. I think even if I had been I still 
would have let the document out.

2. We asked if engineering had verified the change and they had. 
However, We wanted to insure that the SOP could actually be followed by 
somebody in the feild. That it was it good enough to pass out to the 
community and tell people to just follow the instrcutions.

3. Several individuals in the field followed the instructions and 
reported back that the fix worked. ( I dont recall any of the early
reports back indicating issues with wired hreadset mics. Nobody tested 
it I suppose )

4.  We asked for a test proceedure that would indicate whether the fix 
actually succeeded. The answer was our standard audio test. I'm pretty
certain that it doesnt test a wired headset mic.

5. Engineering approved the SOP.

6. Now we need to actually test the yeild rate. One individual in the 
feild had screwed up his phone. I replaced it free of charge. And so
we contacted a rework house to bid on fixing the remaining stock of
A6 we have. They took the SOP, reworked some boards and gave us a quote.
Given that the yield rate was unknown we planned to do sample rework of 
a  couple hundred to see what the actual cost is.  Since A7 is fairly 
close to shipping, it made more sense to the team to hold off on the 
rework and focus on getting A7 shipping.

Now thats just the process for OM to fix the phones it has in store.

What about those in the feild? Which is what the list really cares more 
about.

What is our official position and Policy? Well, first and foremost we 
tend toward solutions that involve the community. Volunteers. We do it
in software by having write code, we do it in marketing by having 
community members man trade show booths, we did it in sales with the
group purchase, so when it comes to fixing the A6 in the field we are
going to start with a volunteer approach. I think the actual idea came 
from somebody in the community who suggested that people bring their FR 
to a local show and they get somebody to fix phones. Building on that 
idea we throw in the party idea. So first and foremost this is going to 
be a community effort.

We are just in the process of working out those details. I've shipped 
the parts to fix phones to a few individuals and disty who have asked.
and spare phones for those that get borked up ( how many should that 
be??) There are some volunteers with soldering irons ready to do their 
best.

Will there be a program beyond this? I don't know. It depends on how 
well the volunteer fix it approach goes. But we've got other ideas that 
we will test out there as well. Right now We ae doing what we can with 
the people have and the resources at hand. Is it going to take longer

 No. They obviously know that community is extremely irritated about it
 and want to hear _any_ official statement. But they prefer being
 silent.
 
 I guess we'll need to wait for another month for the final
 clarifications.
 
 And btw, in case you missed it, there're already 2 officially
 (OM-the-company) supported buzz rework parties planned.
 
 And don't forget that the proposed rework doesn't fix wired headset
 mic, it will still produce a lot of buzz.

 What we have is this as a rough timeline etc.

Steve,

thanks for the official words on this.

I assume (yes, I know about assumptions) that people tend to get
unhappy if they don't hear anything 'official'.

I guess people get impatient if there is nothing they can do. It's a
community effort after all, as you said.
