Still can't register GSM

[Daniel Dadap]

I wrote earlier about being unable to register GSM. It happened out of
the blue and I still can't register.

 Your U-Boot environment can have some issue, that's why the problem
 behaviour is so sticky.  You are into trying to get a USB serial
 connection on ttyACM0 on your host and meddling from there.

 About your main problem not much idea except confirm the SIM still works
 on another phone I guess.

Yeah, I'm going to try messing around over the USB console, but I'm
trying to get GSM to work first.

The SIM works fine on my dumbphone which I have been using for the
past few days. I've tried two different SIMs, from two different
carriers, both of which used to work on my FR, and both of which still
work on other phones. I know that the FR can see the SIM because I can
read contacts off of it and stored SMS messages. I have reflashed the
phone with several images which were all known working. I'm stumped,
and I'm worried that it might not be a software problem. (I think FR
only has 30 or 60 day warranty and mine is already older.)

How much would an out of warranty repair cost, if I have a hardware problem?

How can I tell what the FR is trying to do when it tries to register
(and fails)? I like to know if it seems to be the antenna, or the
Calypso, or something else.

 I received the same behavior when I updated to the latest testing images.

 I revered to the old 2008.9 images and things are working again.

I tried many different images, all of which used to work fine. None of
them can register.

Also, does anybody know how I can reply to a message and keep it in
the right thread if I don't receive individual messages? (I am
subscribed in digest mode.) Is there a web interface where I can reply
to a specific message?

Losing SD after suspend/resume

[Daniel Dadap]

Hi

It seems like sometimes (always?) after suspending and resuming I
can't see /media/card until I reboot.

I started noticing this happening regularly after doing opkg update;
opkg upgrade this morning (then reflashing the kernel when it would
hang on boot afterwards), but seem to remember it happening once
before, last week. I'll reflash rootfs later, but I was just wondering
if anybody else was having similar trouble.

Re: One-sided GSM calls

[Daniel Dadap]

OK,

This morning I reflashed the 20080722 rootfs jffs2 image for OM2007.2,
along with the kernel I found in the same directory
(buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200807/20080722). Still no
sound during a call except when using speakerphone.

Then I saw this post
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/support/2008-July/000351.html with
an attached alsa state dump from a configuration known to have the
buzzing issue. I thought it was possible that in my several attempts
mucking with alsamixer, I might have done something that affected call
volume, and I figured buzzy calls would be better than no audio. I
restored from that configuration, but it made no difference in my
handset, except that it made the button clicks quieter. I assumed that
any alsa settings would have been wiped out by a rootfs and kernel
flash anyway, but figured I would give restoring from a known good
alsa state was better than possibly having leftover state from a bad
conf.

The last thing I am going to try is reflashing with the default image
(20080424) and kernel one more time and restoring alsa state again
from that saved configuration. I don't have high hopes though that it
will work.

Can somebody please tell me what to do with my handset before my
28-day DOA warranty is up?
