Yeah, you can get up to that many hours from QTe, too.

Just go to settings - power management and set a time after Suspend at the 
settings when on battery. Works good here.

QTe wakes up on calls or when you press power. It just takes one or two 
seconds.

Oh, and don't forget that the suspend settings are tied to the profiles. So if 
you change the suspend timeout, use the options button on the lower left to 
add them to your current profile.

[SHR] Stopping wifi by hand? (or button?)

2008-11-30 Thread Joerg Lippmann
Hi!

In SHR, I use Mofi-wifi to connect to my net at home. But how do I turn if off 
elegantly after I go outside, to save batter? Wifi keeps staying on after I 
kill Mofi.

 All you have to do is run TangoGPS and the GPS subsystem will
 automatically turn on.  I think GPS is supposed to turn off once you
 exit any application that makes use of that service.

Hey, I flashed again and now it's working. And I have to say: Wow! looks great 
and it's really fast, even tangogps is much snappier. Good advice, thanks!

hmm, flashed it, does not boot. It never leaves the OM-bootlogo. I used 

shr-image-om-gta02.jffs2

Best Dist only for GPS usage (and maybe wlan)?

2008-11-12 Thread Joerg Lippmann
Hi!

I'm going on holiday in two weeks and I intend to use my freerunner only as 
GPS-device without GSM-card there. I'd like to use tangoGPS and download loads 
of maps from google and OSM beforehand. The question is: which distribution 
would be the best? My wishes for fast access and best battery usage:

- good power management
- reliable suspend
- waking up only on button pressed, not on touching screen
- easy and fast turning on and off of GPS receiver (for browsing the maps 
indoors without reception)
- fast start of TangoGPS (not like in FDOM!)
- good control over extra phone services like wlan or bluetooth
- finger-control
- phone function is absolutely irrelevant!

wlan would be nice, but is not crucial.

Also: As far as I see, there seems to be no function in tangoGPS that shows 
you the direction (as the crow flies) to a selected waypoint, right? Is there 
an application which can do that? So that I can easily set a point and find my 
way back later, just like in my old Garmin eTrex?

Any hints are appreciated!

qtopia: 4.3.3 too sloooooow

2008-09-21 Thread Joerg Lippmann
Hi!

I used qtopia for a while now as my regular phone. And I was quite happy with 
it. 

I just flashed the 4.3.3 version to the card. But this version is absolutly 
unusable. First: the neo freezes when in suspend. I have to re-insert the 
battery to get it going again.

Second: When I call the neo (not suspended) from my land line, it takes about 
8 seconds before it even starts vibrating. Then after about 8 more seconds it 
starts ringing. By that time voicemail has already taken the call. So it's 
impossible to answer my phone.

Also: The device seems to hang for half a minute very often. 

Is this normal? What can I do to get a working phone again?

Re: Official Debian port

 Not sure if this is the reason, but I used the OM2008.8 kernel [1] and

 There are a few minor error messages while the boot sequence, but so far
 no problem on my GTA02v5.
 (I remember a complaint about a driver that was only available on gta01).

Tried that kernel. Now my old problem is fixed but I encountered another one.
I get lots of messages: 

/sbin/getty: cannot excute binary file

So do neo1973 and freerunner use different binary formats?

btw: how can  I reset the device once it panicked? Do I really have to remove 
the battery everytime?

Using gmail with qtopia?

2008-08-11 Thread Joerg Lippmann
Hi!

Has anyone successfully managed to send or receive pop and smtp email via 
gmail (googlemail) using qtopia (version from 2008-08-09)?

I have set it up as POP, pop.googlemail.com (German gmail-domain) and port 
995. There doesn't seem to be a working button for security settings. For 
SMTP I used smtp.googlemail.com and port 465.

In both cases (send or receive) the connection times out after a while. I have 
checked both network and DNS settings. All seem ok.

Any ideas?

finger-scrolling in contact list in qtopia?

2008-07-30 Thread Joerg Lippmann
Hi!

In some lists in qtopia only stylus-scrolling using the scrollbars seem to 
work. Thats annoying when you have some hundred contacts and no stylus is at 
hand. The help page says you can jump to an entry by entering the name, but 
there's no keyboard displayed...

Is there some way to get around the stylus here?

In other news: The unsubscribe-button on the mailing list page doesn't seem to 
be working...

 Why not put Qtopia on the SD card, and 2007.2 in the main memory? It's

I tried that for the last 2 hours, using the wiki howto 
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_on_FreeRunner). It went quite smoothly. 
up to the point where the qtopia-kernel panics when he is not able to mount 
the root-Filesystem. I tried this with ext2 and ext3, same error:

[...]
VFS: Cannot open root device mmcblk0p2 or unknown-block(179,2)

Any idea how to fix that would be great!

 I think the kernel delivered with Qtopia doesn't have ext2 support built
 in (only as a module, which is not available without rootfs), and it
 doesn't work with ext3 either because U-Boot passes rootfstype=ext2 to
 the kernel as a commandline option.

That actually makes sense :-)

 You can try a recent stable kernel (from Openmoko), I think a few days
 ago a patch was checked in that enables ext2 support. So a recent stable
 kernel should be able to boot from an ext2 partition.

Yeah, I tried the most recent kernel I could get my hands on and it works now! 
Great!

Many thanks!
