If you were using ipkg, you could say:

Dunno whether opkg has that functionality yet.

Re: WIKI still a POS

[BrendaWang]

As Sean said , I really need more time to improve wiki .

1.Test cases is for Openmoko test team. I put it on main page , let them 
easy to find that. (That's why ). Yes, 90% of users won't use this link. 
I will discuss with our test team. Change the link to somewhere else.
2.Yes, from the very beginning , Software link, linked to Software 
category page, now , it link to Developer Guide. This page's aim is 
helping those new developer who want to join develop Softwares.
Actually , in wiki , we had many page is talking about the software they 
want to share with others, I will make a link for them also.
3.My original idea is "HARDWARE" collect all page related to hardware. 
Neo 1973 and FR is alos belong to hardware. Actually , I want wiki have 
sub menu functions, just like drop down menu, or menu tree. That will do 
great help (I am survey now ).

Re: ASU - startup broken by upgrade?

[DooD]

I found that installing the newest e-wm and illume packages

http://downloads.openmoko.org/openmoko-repository/ASU/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.042+cvs200807270730-r11_armv4t.ipk
http://downloads.openmoko.org/openmoko-repository/ASU/armv4t/illume_0.0+svnr170-r7_armv4t.ipk

caused this problem. when i reinstalled 

http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/armv4t/e-wm_0.16.999.042+cvs20080722-r10_armv4t.ipk
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/armv4t/illume_0.0+svnr152-r6_armv4t.ipk

i was able to get xserver to run properly.
only problem was if i had already used opkg to upgrade i could not get it to
install the older packages

Re: Warranty after fix for GTA02 GPS rework for SD card interference issue

I've also tried to build openmoko-panel-alarm and I ran into the same 
problems.  I don't think the build environment includes gtkmm, and there 
certainly isn't a gtkmm package in the default repositories either.

Does anyone know of a gtkmm package?  Otherwise I guess I'll try 
compiling and installing gtkmm from the upstream sources.

Haven't looked at pthread-stubs yet.

did you ever change the path for the repository? it defaults to /tmp, so

Hmm. Has anyone ported Kismet to the OpenMoko yet?

Also, has anyone created a GSM Kismet, or some kind of tool that will list all 
carriers and their relative signal strengths.

Since the phone has a built in GPS, it seems like it would be the absolutely 
ideal Kismet platform, and also for something similar to map cell phone signal 
strength and coverage.

With GPRS, it could also upload that coverage data to a public site somewhere 
and create nice interactive maps. Could be helpful for people choosing which 
carrier to use: you could see who's got what coverage where in places that you 
commonly travel to, live in, and work in.

The carriers would hate it, but so what. The people might find it useful.

I just managed to install ASU so it works fine for all normal phone 
stuff.  (Call/SMS/Conntacts/GPS/GPRS)
I will set up/update a wiki-page for the ASU installation i have done.
And maybe i am also able to create a rootfs with my packages. so that 
the first
installation of a working ASU would be easyer for the beginning.

But first i have to clean up some things.  btw could someone please 
send me a fresh ASU- "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia" ? ;)

It seems to me from my former-product-mananger perspective that OpenMoko 
doesn't really want to be in the software business. 

I'm sensing a business model that has OpenMoko focussing on selling 
general-purpose computing hardware (like Dell or ASUS). but in a handheld 
format, and letting the "community" or some third party (like Trolltech/Nokia) 
deal with the software issues, for the most part. 

Obviously they need to ship the phone with *something*, so they're betting on 
Qtopia-over-X11, which seems a solidly good choice.

The one very big problem with this model, is that Dell and ASUS have very 
mature, end-user-ready software suites (Ubuntu, Windoze, etc.) to ship with 
their hardware or for users to add on their own, and the OpenMoko doesn't 
really have that yet.

This will get sorted out though. I'd bet on about two years from now it'll all 
be squared away.

On Qtopia SMS do not wake up my phone. I haven't noticed that SMS is
broken completely after resume, but SMS that were send to me during
suspend I often received hours later. That was probably then, when I
rebooted the device. So I guess I can confirm SMS is broken after
resume.

I bought the FreeRunner in order to:

1) Use for remote system administration, via a terminal and onscreen keyboards, 
via SSH over WiFi and GPRS.
2) Browse the web via WiFi and/or GPRS
3) Read/write email using some kind of IMAP mail app, and send/recieve SMS
4) Make and receive calls via VOIP and GSM
5) Play media (Vorbis, MP3, FLV's, MP4's) and record audio
6) Write a custom touchscreen UI app for a linux-based music synthesizer 
(connecting to the synth via Bluetooth)
7) Maybe run some simple synth applications on the FR, using the USB host mode 
to connect it to a MIDI keyboard.

So far, not even the first 5 of those are complete and reliable enough for me 
to actually use without hassle, and based on what I've read here, I'm 
estimating about 2 years before they are.

In the meantime, however,  I've realized that I can probably get through the 
rest of my life happily without *any* of the above features, and I should have 
waited a few more years before spending so much money.

Hi there,

I don't think the Freerunner's wifi driver (chip firmware?) will do  
passive mode. I think you may be able to run Kismet without this, but  
if so it is MUCH less useful.

I think this idea was suggested a while ago, with some positive

Hey Ken, Hey Community,

this is also my interpretation, Openmoko is trying only to to open up a
building site, *WE* have to build our houses and factories, anybody
expecting more than infrastructure is still bound to products before NEO
and before Openmoko.

Perhaps, though I have my doubts about running a full X server on neo
hardware, Qtopia's framebuffer approach might be a little more resource
friendly.

Guess I'll have to try a couple of them.

if that was true, they would just throw some money at trolltech/nokia
and ship qtopia, not needing to bother with anything else. for sure
would be much cheaper (at least i think).

With the SD you can dual-boot, triple-boot or whatever. This lets you keep a 
stable system and a testing system, or to pick whether you want to boot into 
2007.2, ASU, FSO or Qtopia. If you need more space than the internal flash 
then SD may be good, and you might prefer it if you worry about write cycles 
on the internal flash. OTOH SD (on the Freerunner) uses the limited bandwidth 
to the Glamo.

Not sure what you mean by this. That time isn't set on your phone? Timezone

If you're sure that libsdl is installed (which is the case in your
example), you can try to force numpty's installation :

opkg instal -force-depends
http://wwwpub.zih.tu-dresden.de/~mkluge/numptyphysics_0.2_armv4t.ipk

Worked here.

2 years?  At the rate I am seeing progress, I would bet closer to two

Freerunner not charging?

[Marcel "MadJo" de Jong]

Hello all,

I got my Neo Freerunner yesterday in the mail (yay!). 
After turning it on, I plugged in the wall-charger.
I saw no leds turn on, but I did see the icon in the screen change from a
green battery to a battery with a lighting icon in it. So I figured it was
charging.
The same was true when I plugged in the USB cable to connect it to my
computer. No LEDs blinking or burning, but it did show the battery icon with
lightning.

However, when I unplugged it this morning, after a few seconds being green,
the battery icon became red. Which led me to believe that it wasn't charged.
So I left it at home, tethered to the wallcharger.

I did reflash the device a few times last night. (First a version of FSO and
later a version of Scaredycat) Not sure if that's relevant.

But now my questions:
1) should there be a led indicating it's charging?
2) and is it normal for the icon to appear red after it had a chance to
charge overnight? (about 7hrs of charge time)
3) or should I leave it in longer for the first time?

Questions: Daily Use, Community stability?

[Shawn Thompson]

Hello Community,
   This is my first time starting a new thread in the mailing list and I
felt that before investing $400 on something I should really think it out
and ask a few questions. I will start with the questions regarding use as a
day to day device. I need a minimum of two things from a phone: the ability
to make and receive phone calls reliably and the ability to send and receive
SMS messages reliably. From what I have read this is not always the case
right now. If someone can verify that they have been using the device for
this purpose for a matter of time I would really appreciate that. I have
been waiting, patiently, for almost 3 years for this phone, since about the
time that the 1973 sold out for the last time. I really do want to purchase
a freerunner but unless I will be able to make it work as a phone I think I
may be tied to my low end POS samsung t409 for the time being.

  My second set of questions revolve around the recent storms brewing in the
community list. There has been a lot of fighting going on over ONE feature,
the toggle option on the keyboard. Personally I would prefer to toggle mine
myself but I am NOT going to get into arguments over that right now. What I
would like to know is that if a major usability problem is reported by
members of the community that we will not be placing information upon deaf
ears. I am NOT a programmer but I love playing with anything Linux so the
freerunner really looks like it would be fun to have. So long as I know that
major problems (echo, the GPS issue, keyboard toggle option, etc) are going
to at least be heard I will be willing to take some minor usability problems
while a resolution is in the works.

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

-Shawn Thompson

Phonecalls hanging up

[Kalle Happonen]

Hi,
I just got out of a lengthy call which got hung up 4 times during the 
call. It seemed like it went to powersave mode. It might just be that 
the audio died, and the remote person hung up and called again. I did an 
upgrade to the newest 2007.2 today. I use the dim-first-then-lock 
option. Is the phone going to suspend even if a call is active?

there have been several reports of the fr discharging when connected to  
usb (incl charger) for a long time. so that bug might have bitten you as  
well. the flash from green to red might be due to an additional bug in  
redrawing the icon correctly (i recall at least one posting, i think).
i am absolutely not sure how a fresh li-ion battery likes to be handled --  
some manuals say you need to discharge and recharge a few times to get the  
full capacity, others do not. stroller announced a well thought strategy

fr, so no clue what to do :-)
did you flash your u-boot, too?
what image (rootfs, kernel) do you use right now?

It also seems to suspend even if you are logged in over ssh.

There needs to be an option not to suspend if
a. There is external power

But wasn't it so that the freerunner can't recharge the battery if it's
completely empty?

> what image (rootfs, kernel) do you use right now?

Yes, I flashed the uboot, the kernel and rootfs.

Uboot is: 
(u-boot-gta02v5-1.3.1+svnr4297+gitb29661fc115106454288051bc9a488351ce8-r3.bin)

Rootfs is:
(scaredycat-openmoko-devel-image-om-gta02.jffs2)

And I believe (but I can only check that when I get home tonight) that I
used this for the uImage:
uImage-2.6.24+git20080507-r0-om-gta02.bin

Freerunner group sales in TAIWAN!!

[Lin Mac]

hi,

Thanks to the generosity of Harry of openmoko, there will be a group sale in 
Taiwan for sure.

If we can collect 10 piece, then we could have the 10-pack price. But even if 
we can't , they would still accept the order.

One that are interested in Taiwan, please send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], 
and specify the amount of the phone, debug board(DBoard), and spare packs that 
you want, along with your name and phone number.

I hope it could be done fast, so the due date will be 8/17. Than I'll send the 
order to openmoko.

I don't have such group sale experience yet, so mail me if you have any concern 
or question want to ask.

Best Regards,
Mac Lin

i'd think rootfs and uImage should match -- else you might get annoying  
effects with modules not loading (the uImage only flashes the boot-area,  
if the kernel of uImage and the kernel/modules of rootfs do not match,  
things may not work as expected).

The next batch of shipments are scheduled to arrive on July 25th."

can we have an update on this, or can someone please update the website?
IIRC there are 2 people who went to the website on the 23-rd and purchased
freerunners... so it's been a week i go everyday every 4 hours to the

Well, for me, it was nearly impossible to find what image I needed to be
able to run Scaredycat's images. So I grabbed the latest of everything that
was labeled "gta02v5".

I also tried the FSO image. But somehow I could not get the phone option to
work on that one.
But that could've been because the jffs image was in fact a .jffs2.summary
image.
(Found here: http://downloads.openmoko.org/framework/milestone2/ ) 
I'm not sure what the difference is between .jffs2 and .jffs2.summary.

I thought ASU uses gypsy? Navit has a gypsy module. (At least a more 
recent version  of Nvit i have here on my pc)

So, I never had to do that -- or more precisely I have never done that.
*Should* I be doing it, or is that only if you are not able to ssh in?

I've just been connecting by USB, ssh in, and then opkg update and
upgrade from there.  I've done next to nothing in the openmoko terminal.

Like the OP, I am attempting to build OM with MokoMakefile on debian
powerpc (a PowerMac G5).

The output from my attempted build is at http://pastebin.com/m19248e62

I did:

  make clean
  rm -rf build/conf/
  make setup
  make setup-machine-freerunner 
  make openmoko-devel-image

(Download of stuff isn't in this output because I've run this several
times before.)

setup-env contains:

export OMDIR="/home/russells/omdir"
export BBPATH="${OMDIR}/build:${OMDIR}/openembedded"
export PYTHONPATH="${OMDIR}/bitbake/libbitbake"
export PATH="${OMDIR}/bitbake/bin:${PATH}"


build/conf/local.conf contains:

MACHINE = "om-gta02"
DISTRO = "openmoko"
BUILD_ARCH = "ppc64"
INHERIT += "rm_work"


The third NOTE in the output at http://pastebin.com/m19248e62 is

  Information not available for target 'ppc64-linux'

which I think is partly gathered from `uname -m`.  On my system:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -m
  ppc64

Is this different from what uname -m says on Fedora?  I notice that
there is a powerpc* target in some of the .bb files.

I don't know anything about bitbake, and its output seems unconducive
to casual debugging in that there is not a lot of context for the
messages.

Any ideas?

There's a .jffs2.summary file, which is the one you're supposed to use.

Summary is a jffs2 feature that improves performance.  For more 
information, see http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/jffs2/mount.php .

There's no notification yet.  The focus of M2 is on the framework APIs, 
the UI (zhone) only does a minimum, and is more to be understood as an 
example of using the API.

As far as I know, there's no import code yet.  Be aware that currently 
FSO doesn't have a contacts database, it stores all the contacts on the 
SIM (which usually has limited capacity).

The API for storing contacts is pretty simple at the moment.  If you 
steal the dbus init code from zhone, adding contacts is done using:

   dbus_object.gsm_sim_iface.StoreEntry(reference, name, number)

where reference indicates the slot on the SIM card in which to store the 
entry (between 0 and whatever the maximum for the card is).

Hi Shawn,

I use the Qtopia image and find it quite usable as an everyday phone for 
SMS and phonecalls - this is not to say it's perfect but certainly more 
usable than the other distributions at present. If open-source mobile 
development interests you, I'd say go for it and buy one. They're cute.

There has been turbulence in the community lately beyond what I would 
call healthy debate, but I think it was mostly just a handful 
individuals doing a bit of posturing early on in the game. Seems to have 
calmed down now. Being an open-source project you can safely assume that 
your considerations will be taken into account, however my opinion is 
that the people hired by Openmoko have been hired because they're good 
at what they do, not because they're intended as a medium for each and 
every personal opinion to be realised in the final product. I think we 
have to trust these people to set the general direction of development 
and design, and the community is there to build upon this framework and 
make it theirs. No open-source project I know of is without this kind of 
structure, and rightly so.

So if people want a manual keyboard button (I happen to be one of these 
people) then they should definately make their opinions heard in the 
hope that they are acted upon, but if not then this decision needs to be 
respected - don't castrate the designer, the design is open-source and 
can be changed later. When enough people adopt these changes then it 
evolves to replace the original, which is how open-source development 
should work.

Anyway hope you decide to take the plunge and become part of the community.

Aaron

Re: WIKI still a POS

[Daniel Benoy]

I think we should take a lesson from Gentoo's wiki and make a big page with all 
the howtos.  Also, how about this kind of structure?:

'Getting Started' or 'What are open phones?'
(Or 'What are open palmtops?' might be better)

'Community & Events'

'News'

'HOWTO Index'
|
\->etc etc. (Categorized, or bareing tags in their titles, based on what 
hardware / software they're refering to.  Perhaps bareing a template that says 
what hardware, what versions it's known to work with, etc etc.)

'Hardware'
|
|->'Neo1973 / Neo Freerunner' (General)
|  |
|  |->'GPS Chip' (Detailed)
|  |->'GSM Modem' (Detailed)
|  \->etc etc.
|->'Treo 650 - Partially Supported'
\->etc etc.

'Distributions'

|   |->'ASU' (Detailed)
|   |->'FSO' (Detailed)

|-> 'QTopia for Neo phones'
\-> 'Debian'

'Open Phone Stacks'
|
|-> 'OpenMoko FSO Specification'
|-> 'Android'
\-> 'QTopia'

I'd love to volunteer to tidy the wiki up.  Also, it might be better to just 
fork the openmoko wiki and make another one (Since the GNU FDL allows it, and 
the 'openmoko' URL isn't entirely appropriate if we're talking about 
Debian+Android running on a Treo, as an example.)  How would all of you feel 
about that?

P.S. I agree with the sentiment below.  As well, developers and power users 
with special applications need detailed documentation even on mainstream phones.

Try putting tangogps in a configuration where its updating the tiles
frequently - zoom way in, so that you have a closeup of your map, and then
walk around a bit.  In between tile updates, GPS will go way off the
map.  Thats the problem: its a workaround, but not a complete, effective
fix.  Looks like we have to have the capacitor-fix in place to make this
work smoothly without further glitches ..

Hmm. Jay...

  Amaybe when SD I/O occurs one could use the accelerometers to dead reckon?
They are noisy and drift
  but for short periods MIGHT be able to keep wild errors in mapping from
occuring. 

  Just a thought.

My experience has proven that this is not the case; yes the fix happens
sooner, but if SD I/O occurs during tracking phase, wild errors are still
introduced into the GPS signal sufficient to drive us off the map.

Just sayin', not trying to stir the pot.  I've been testing this GPS fix
every day since it arrived, by tracking my progress to work, and if I zoom
too closely (meaning there is more SD I/O on map refreshes) the GPS goes
wild.

My ride to and from work is through a wide open space with no obstructions,
lots of blue sky, and for sure .. SD I/O still massively impacts GPS
*accuracy*.  Not just in the acquisition phase, but also tracking ..

/media/card corrupted?

[Staley, Daniel L]

I am currently running the latest kernel with ASU.

Whenever I first boot up my freerunner into ASU, my /media/card directory is 
read fine and I can access everything on it.  If the freerunner suspends 
however, after it wakes back up, the directory appears to be corrupted and 
nothing can be read out of it.  If I reboot, the directory is fine again.

Is anyone else running into this?

I am using an 8gb sandisk microSDHC card.

Thanks for this, BTW during the past night I looked to the Zhone code 
and I got that it was using only the sim, so I've "forced" it to use 
only my phonebook hardcoding there my phonebook as shown in the "Fake 
phonebook" code. What I'd like to do is merging these contacts with the 
one saved on the SIM, so I'll be able to save new contacts (and view 
them) too...

Dead reckoning without gyros is pretty hard.  In theory, the two 
accelerometers are not mounted in the same place and thus could be used 
to derive rotation, but in practice they're pretty close to each other, 
and given the noise of measurement one is unlikely to derive a good 
rotation from them.

that's a matter rather for the support list.
and yes, there are others experiencing the same behaviour.
if you check with

after resume you'll probably see that the sd card is not longer mounted to  
/media/card but /media/mmcblk0p1 instead (or so).
there's a thread and a ticket, i think.

Well, just execute both branches of the if...else in 
pyphone_contacts.prepare.  Make sure you use unique reference numbers 
for the stuff you add yourself, e.g. start numbering at 1000, not at 1 
as in the "Fake phonebook".

I don't think we need to worry about it, but in fact we wouldn't need to
dead-reckon.  All we would need it for would be to put a ceiling on
claims from noisy GPS about what accelerations we could have
experienced.  If the GPS sample says we jumped 100m in 1s, but the
accels didn't really see anything, we could ignore or meddle with the
GPS sample.

Whether that is any better than just filtering between previous and
later samples I doubt.

Inertial navigation systems for the masses!
Anyone here who wants to write a kalman filter?

Besides the point that a small pocket-IMU would be great. To GPS jumts 
that big exist? As fas as i understand GPS it should have little jitter.

Dear Rakshat, please don't let yourself be fooled by polemics, I know it's
hard to resist, but we should lean on to the facts.

Fact is: Openmoko is NOT developing its own gps software, in fact we all
like Tango GPS a lot. It talks nicely to our opgsd implementation and will
be included by default in the FSO milestone2.

What we did though was to write a framework subsystem implementing the
org.freedesktop.Gypso dbus protcol, enhancing it to support the great U-Blox
chip found in the Neo Freerunner devices, enhancing it to hook into the
systemwide peripheral resource control, enhancing it to prepare for
automatic downloading/uploading almanac and ephemeris to improve warmstart.
So, in a
nutshell: We provided the necessary middleware (as is the rest of FSO) to
make things run better. Of course we will also discuss with upstream about
how to improve the gypsy implementation of org.freedesktop.Gypsy.

Please see Daniel Willmann's announcement for more details.

Cheers,

Re: ASU, exposure doesn't work

[DooD]

Finally found how to get this one to work... the problem is with python-ecore
package the newest one doesnt even seem to run camp wifi for me anymore.
The version you want to install is from

http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/python-ecore_0.2.1+cvs20080702-r1_armv4t.ipk

If you cant get opkg to install it for you try -force-downgrade, which
doesnt seem to work for me. so i just temporarily removed my
armv4t-feed.conf from /etc/opkg, removed the package, then had opkg update
and typed

opkg install
http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/packages/armv4t/python-ecore_0.2.1+cvs20080702-r1_armv4t.ipk

This should work, goodluck

Sorry, sms notification is not done in the UI (although it's finished since 
long in the services). Probably you don't have to wait until MS3 though, 
we're going to try providing some updates beforehand.

Re: Freerunner not charging?

[Steven **]

I see this every time I plug in to the wall charger.  The USB icon
will show up for a second or two and then disappear.  Unplugging and
plugging it back in usually cause the battery icon to change and the
USB icon to stay.  This is only with the wall charger.  Plugging USB
into my computer always works the first time.

You could submit a bug report.  I never bothered.  But perhaps it
really doesn't charge on the first attempt?

The Freerunner doesn't always identify a charger as being able to supply 500
mA when this happens it charges at 100mA. At that rate the battery goes dead
faster than it charges.

There are some solutions that are not recommended by OM

Re: Which AT&T data plans are compatible?

 From what I've read, they watch your traffic for things like user agent 
strings (if they see an HTTP header specifying that you're using 
Firefox, it's a sure thing you're tethering since Firefox doesn't have a 
mobile browser yet), or that they watch for traffic levels that exceed 
your phone's capacity. For example, if you surf and browse more than a 
few GB of traffic (ie: torrent downloads) chances are good that you're 
tethering since your phone will only natively hold about 200MB of 
content plus whatever your SD card will hold.

As for "overage fees", it's whatever they charge you based on your 
current plan. For example if you don't HAVE a data plan, they'll hit you 
with pretty heavy fees. Even at 0.01/kb on the MediaNet plan, they 
expect all of your content will come through their MediaNet browser. 
That's $10 per 1 MB of data over their limit, which frankly isn't hard 
to do these days.

Their unlimited data plan used to be $20/month but they raised it to $30 
for the new iPhone. Tethering adds even more because they expect that 
you'll be downloading much more data than users who don't tether.

Yes.

jffs2.summary files are jffs2 files postprocessed with some information that 
allows jffs2 to speed up initial mounting.

I agree the front page needs help. I suggest you make a rough draft so
we could look at it and help polish it then swap it in if people think
it looks good. You could call it Draft Main Page or something like
that.

I started tidying it up a few days ago. Hopefully I will make
improvements and not just changes.
Personally this is the only device I am looking at right now so a fork
seems like a bad idea, it would just be another place I'd have to
look. If I felt a need to compare OM with Android I'd prefer to see
information in the OM wiki and links to the appropriate external
Android pages.

Hi,

I'm using OM2007.2 updated to today morning (Thursday July 31), and 
TangoGPS.
Also have the map cache directory on the card. Normally works fine, but 
when I move indoors,
gps shows 10 satellite fixes and gives my speed as 482 Km/h (really  
it did).

So either I broke the land speed record for a guy on foot ... or I think 
I will have to have that
capacitor fix.

Trimble had a few GPS models out with dead reckoning. Not pocket
sized.  I think they are all off the market now. I got one off Ebay a
few weeks ago but have not had time to set it up yet. To me it's more
interesting reading the manuals and learning how it works since I
don't use my car more than once a month. Trimble was addressing loss
of signal in urban canyons not (ahem) antenna placement issues.

See  http://www.trimble.com/tms/placer450.aspx?dtID=overview

They use a small gyroscope. There are much smaller gyros available now
but my intuition from reading their materials is that it will work in
a car if you are going fast enough (they want you to go 22 mph) to
generate steady predictable g forces but if you are going at a walking
pace it would never work.

If you are walking around and want a reasonable position the Kalman
filter would probably be easier to deal with.
Is there a mathematician in the house?

That's bizarre. They actually hire people to sit around and snoop people's 
UserAgent strings? Kind of NSA-like?
If so, AT&T has *way* too much money, and their subscribers are paying for the 
salaries of spies to snoop their own traffic. Seems kinda creepy to me.

So "unlimited data" isn't "unlimited" at all?

Never mind Open Source phones, looks like what we need is Open Source carriers.

But I'm told that Sprint Metro PCS allows unlimited data, and tethering, for 
US$60/mo, and also the $30/mo plan is the same thing and people have (I'm told) 
just paid that and gotten data for free, although I don't remember the details 
of how they did that. Supposedly that is at DSL speeds too. Alas, Sprint PCS is 
not GSM, so no dice for FreeRunner owners.

Just for now, my "opkg update && opkg upgrade" is broken.
but i think this is a problem with some packages on the buildhosts. but 
i am not sure yet.
... damm and it looks all so good this morning

tomorow i am not able to realy go on with that task. ... (sometimes i

but i hope to get on that at the weekend.

Status:
Exposure - still broken
Campwifi - now also broken (because of the tryings to get Exposure working)
This seems all to be a problem with the python packages.

When i killed that problems, i will do the rootfs.
But for now i will work on a ASU installing wiki-site at the weekend.
I will give you the link if i managed to write the basic steps i take.

I dunno how a 10pF capacitor on SD_CLK is going to fix the GPS chip
acting erratic when it genuinely loses the satellites as you "move indoors".

FWIW you'll need to wait for tomorrow's kernels to get yesterday's two
