Dead freerunner
Hi, My phone was almost on no battery, so I plugged it to USB and kept working (not on the phone...). My laptop has WinXP. After some hours (I had forgotten that I had the phone plugged in), I heard the device detaching sound from the laptop. Since my phone was the only thing that could have detached, I checked out my phone. It was off and was pretty hot.. Since then I don't get anything on the screen. If I press the power button I can hear the device attach sound followd by the device detaching sound after a couple of minutes. My question: (1) Do freerunners have some known overheating problem? (2) if so, are the precautions written somewhere? (3) If not, is there some kind of warranty that covers this? BTW, I don't have access to a linux system right now. So, if something low level is possible from linux system please tell me and I would try to do it when I get to one. --Vikas PS: I don't have a debug board, I might get one to check the current state but I want that to be my last resort. I live in Noida, India. So, if someone in this region has a debug board, I would like to use that. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: un-corrupt a microsd card?
Essentially, the partition table is stored in the first sector of the disk. For me I have stored first 2 sectors (just to be sure) as backup in my home (which still sits in internal flash) dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/home/root/2secSd.save bs=512 count=2 Moreover, as I am not too sure of how many sectors actually get overwritten, so I have configured the first partition as 128Mb of swap. Once I notice that the sdcard is gone bad, I simply get the parition table back by: (1) dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 if=/home/root/2secSd.save bs=512 count=2 ...(get the table back) (2) mount (list currently mounted partitions and ensure that none from /dev/mmcblk0 are mounted...unmount those which get mounted) (3) fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 (a) p .(check that the partition table is intact) (b) 2 .(flush this table to disk, which was already therebut fdisk would tell kernel about the change and thats what we want) (4) mount -a (mount all that is listed in /etc/fstab) You should have the data back If you have some data parition as the first partition use 'count=1' in the dd commands. I use them that way, just to be sure. They are not needed to get the partition back.

If it's just the partition table, and you have used the debian installer script to partition, you can run the partition stage again. (./installer.sh partition). This will leave your data intact and makes it accessible again. Greetings, Joachim ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

twitter on freerunner
Hi,
I am using 2008.8 with regular updates. Today I was in search of a twitter
client and zeroes in on mitter. I installed mitter but while running it
reported missing simplejson module.
I downloaded simplejson but its installation reports missing zipfile module.
I am not much aware of python but a little googling suggested that it is
part of core python module since python2.0 while I have 2.5.2 installed on
FR.
My questions:
(1) Which might be the best twitter client for FR
(2) If it is mitter, then how can I solve the problem stated above (missing
zipfile module)
--Vikas
PS: log from installation of simplejson

Re: 2008.8 : Can receive calls but cannot call
I had no idea where to look for. Although, qpe was giving some logs and I thought it could be useful to someone. I was also 'trying' to log a ticket as well but in vain. Somehow can't access trac site currently. In the meantime, this is what the ticket would look like: -- Subject: OM2008.8 Cannot make calls but can receive calls After flashing OM2008.0, I have not been able to make calls. Although, I can receive calls. I am not sure where to look for the logs. The only thing that made a little debug sense to me was /var/log/messages to which qpe was logging. I am attaching my /var/log/messages grepped with 'AtChat' and 'Modem'. I have removed a few numbers which I sort of didn't want to disclose. Moreover, I have made and received calls as well which are captured in the log file. These events are marked with appropriate comments as well.

Re: 2008.8 : Can receive calls but cannot call
I totally understand the pressure of a release and requirement for a lean period after it. All I want right is a dirty workaround so that I can pick up my freerunner again to callI had to dig back my old phone to live on the weeked. I guess more involved community members might also help. I don't even know what to look forany logs ...i wud be more than happy to try to debug it on my end... --Vikas On Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 9:05 PM, rakshat hooja [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 6:37 PM, Vikas Saurabh [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Is this so non-critical only (+1)'s are coming and no one even cares to explain what and how it broke The functionality was working fine with 2007.2 and earlier (non released version) of ASU from Aug 6. --Vikas I am sure there will be explanations but give the OM guys a break.
