[WikiReader] Do no take it apart...
Hi Wikireaders, As you know (or will know) I took apart my Wikireader to view what lives inside, and try to add some backlight. This idea, as great as it can be, revealed to be a REALLY bad idea. The WR's motherboard is link to the screen by two 'ribbons' conenctors (I don't know the english name) which are REALLY thin and FRAGILE. I removed them really carefully, though, the touch screen don't respond anymore. :-( I tried to resolder point by point this -really- thin ribbon, but nothing did the trick I'm in relation with the support team at Openmoko, who told me this device is not designed to be hard-tweaked as the freerunner is. So this kind of mistake is not covered by the warranty ! So, I just can ask you to avoid opening your WR. (the soft tweak is not dangerous for the device, as all the system remains on the SD card) For those who wants, I took some pictures, so if you want to see take a look at http://freerunner.daily.free.fr AstHrO, Wikireader addict. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Keyboard and Screen Rotation in SHR
All, I have tried several solutions of screen rotation, but I always end up having either a keyboard does not fit my screen layout . Either the keyboard was invoked first when being in portrait mode and is outside the visible sceen area when rotated to landscape mode or the keyboard was invoked first in landscape mode that then is too wide for portrait mode after rotation. If I manually disable the keyboard in the illume settings (WrenchKeyboardNone) and re-enable it I always get a keyboard that fits my current layout. So the most logical solution seems to me to combine screen rotation with disabling/enabling the keyboard. It would be great if someone could advise how to change the keyboard via using the command line rather than clicking through the illume settings. This way I could wrap things up in a script and would benefit from always being able typing... Thanks in advance, Bernhard ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Costa Rica 3G and Neo Freerunner.
Hello, today in my country starts to use the 3G technology, some people we interested know if the Neo Freerunner works with 3G broadband internet. The chips for 3G are same to GSM chips, also I can update to 3G only turn on the 3G compatibility in the cellular phone with the GSM chip.

[shr-t] Importing (vcf) contacts -- again
Hi, I've just flashed my FR to SHR-Testing (and it's great that there's a -Testing branch again with promised opkg upgrade stability). Now I think this question was raised in the past already, but I couldn't really find anything that seemed to apply to the current state of SHR (with opimd): How do I import my (evolution) contacts (eg as vcf)?

Re: Costa Rica 3G and Neo Freerunner.
That's 3G SIM cards. To support 3G a phone needs the hardware to transmit the 3G protocol and frequency (3G chip inside) and a SIM card that supports 3G The neo freerunner and 1973 don't have a 3G chip inside so cannot connect to the 3G network. A while back people were having problems using 3G SIM cards in the phone (3G SIM card to connect to 2G network). The phone wouldn't connect or would give issues so that page was setup to list which 3G SIM cards would work on the phone (2G connection). As far as I know the latest GSM firmware fixed those issues.
