Well I think I screwed my SD card reader trying to solder on the GPS fix.
I got the cap soldered on, slamed in an sd card and fired it up.
No card. Nothing mounted at /media/card and doing a manual mount
produced the error
mount: special device /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist
BUMMER!
So
From everything I've heard a software only fix will not be enough.
Unless you ditch your sd card as a data store.
All new FR's have the HW fix and new software will be written to take
advantage of that HW platform.
The software fix alone allows you to get a fast TTFF but after that, sd

here's a lead free equivalent in a small package.

Turning the SD card off periodically to fix the cross talk(emf) issue
is a good thing. Especially if it allows the GPS receiver to function
properly and reduce power consumption on the SD card subsystem.
I don't think they are talking seconds here but milliseconds. If the

Man I have to agree. I'm just jumping on to the OM bandwagon with the
purchase of two freerunners but have reservations about it now.
Looking through the Wiki is a pain and a chore to find useful data. Yes
there are gems in there but they are buried under tons of old and
inaccurate data.
I don't think its the wiki software that is the problem.
Its the ad-hoc management method of everybody editing and no one doing
QA to insure old stuff is thrown out or clearly marked, consistent
format, new pages in the right place, appropriate links to and from
the document, etc
Perhaps this is what you seek?

Vinc,
I found a description of disassembling the 1973 that describes where the
GSM antenna connector is. They actually mention an alternative case that
provides access to it.
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Disassembling_Neo1973
Here's the picture of the component side
I'm expecting my FreeRunner soon and was wondering about the Sim card
issue the 1973 version experienced.
Was it fixed? Can I expect just about any ATT sim card to work now?
I was looking on ebay for sim cards and couldn't find any that were in
the good list as published here.
I was hoping the external ant port on the FreeRunner was for the cell
modem and was disappointed to find out it was for the GPS.
Any diagrams available on how to add an antenna port myself? What
contacts to solder to, etc... Will I need a switch to enable an
external antenna or will it
That is great news!!
Just what I needed
