[Qtmoko] how to disable GSM function

2011-06-29 Thread phifmr
Hi,

(¹) Thanks for your great job. More I use it more I love it (especially
because it is debian based).

Because I want to limit at the maximum GSM functionality (particularly
the radio frequency) , is there a way to stop/resume this GSM
functionality on the fly (that is without shutdown the phone).

Many thanks for any clue.

Kind regards.

(¹) Sorry for my poor English (I was a bad pupil :))

Did you give a look at air plane mode?

Freerunner won't charge

2011-06-29 Thread Ronald Tallent
Help! I made a USB gender changer per the instructions here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Specialized_USB_cables#How_to_make_a_type_A_jack_to_a_type_A_jack_adapter_.28gender_changer.29
 and it tested okay with a multimeter, then I tested it with a USB keyboard and 
it worked as expected, then I plugged in a small multi-card reader with a 
microSD card in it, and since then my Freerunner will not charge via any 
method. It still works perfectly in device mode, and even host mode (providing 
power to external devices even), but it won't charge from a laptop via USB 
cable or from the wall AC adapter.
 
Is there any way I can fix this thing? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Can your FR still draw power from USB to other parts than battery?

No idea. *shrug*  How would I test that? Where else does power go when
it comes in from the USB port? The light that should come on when
plugged into a charge source does not come on, (orange or blue) if that
helps to answer the question, and the charge indicator never indicates
that it's charging. SHR Settings for Power never show that it's
receiving a charge regardless of mA settings. I have the GTA02 A7 and
I've tried 2 Freerunner batteries in it (one is brand new), and my Nokia
BL-5C battery which last I checked Openmoko wiki said was compatible.
Same results with all 3 batteries.

Use om battery consumption or similar to measure how much the
Freerunner draws energy from the battery. Then connect the USB cable and
check if it draws any less.

 that should come on when plugged into a charge source does not come
 on,

That's pure software, don't rely blindly :-)

Doesn't seem to change. There's 0 drop in battery consumption as
reported by om battery consumption when I plug in the USB cable or the
AC adapter. Is there any hope for this thing? Thanks for your help thus
far. =)

Shame on me. A lot of tanks.

But there is a bug (¹) : phone doesn't re-register to GSM network
after leaving airplane mode.

I get no network (french translation of pas de réseau) message.

I can re-register to GSM network only if I restart Qt Extended.

(¹) I can't check because I can't access to the bug page on the new
sourceForge  wiki

Note that om battery consumption can lag a bit. You probably want to
average a few minutes at least. What do you see with

om usb charger-mode
om battery charger-limit
om usb charger-limit

when it is connected?


(Sample output when it's fully charged and GSM is off:

lindi@ginger:~$ om usb charger-mode
charge-battery
lindi@ginger:~$ om battery charger-limit
500
lindi@ginger:~$ om usb charger-limit
500
lindi@ginger:~$ om usb mode
device
lindi@ginger:~$ om battery energy
100
lindi@ginger:~$ om battery consumption
0

 om usb charger-mode
reading usb charger mode: no such file or directory

also tried setting the charger mode and got the same no such file or
directory message.

 om battery charger-limit
reading battery charger limit: no such file or directory

 om usb charger-limit
reading usb charger limit: no such file or directory 

~$ om usb mode = device

~$ om battery energy = 29

~$ om battery consumption
AC USB adapter plugged in = 104024.8 avg over 2.5 minutes
No power adapter = 107999.8 avg over 2.5 minutes

 when it is connected?
no difference in any messages execpt for the consumption whether it was
was plugged in or not. All tests with GSM off (no SIM card installed).

Am I missing some dependancy somewhere for omhacks? Or is it just not
finding some piece of hardware?

Sounds like your kernel is too new or your omhacks is too old. What do
you see with om --version and uname -r?

And what distro was this again?
