And on the corners the balls lift off and this may result in interruptions. Can that also be the reason for the AUX button getting stuck? Does the warping of the CPU-PCB also warp the main PCB, or is there no reason to suspect so? No, the AUX button is a different issue. It is an accumulation of tolerances of the button position and how the whole PCB fits into the plasic case. And in the meantime I have some doubt that there is really warpage of the CPU. It may be an optical illusion because the image is taken from the top just showing enlarged diameter. We have been offered our own X-Ray session next week and will try to make an image in 45 or less degrees, i.e. to find out if the balls have the expected volume but are squeezed by warpage and therefore increase the visible diameter or if there is simply too much solder paste involved and therefore the diameter increases without any warpage of the chip (the reason could also be warpage of the stencil).

Re: [Gta04-owner] Status OpenPhoneux / GTA04
Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller h...@goldelico.com writes: The good answer is that as soon as we decide to continue, it takes less than 4 weeks to produce, test and ship all missing boards. They have planned that it works even if holiday season is coming. And our shipment plan is by sequence of order. So if you did order early, it is even a little closer. Just a thought... If there are any Group Tour participants who are planning on developing stuff with/for QtMoko, and are feeling frustrated because of not yet having a physical GTA04 in their hands, then: - I would encourage you to get going anyway with cloning the repository, setting up the tool chain, becoming familiar with the codebase, and trying and building some changes. - I undertake to test any patches that anyone may want to send me and to provide feedback on them. In other words, it's still possible to do development but with a remote GTA04. Then when the Group Tour orders arrive, we'll be that much further forward.

[Wikireader] updates not working?
I see there are some new Wikireader updates available: http://dev.thewikireader.com/language-packs/ But I can't download them -- the tracker times out.

Sadly he doesn't make much constructive criticism; he bashes the specs but it's not as if much can be done about that now. He does mention some good things such as where it is manufactured, being able to run debian/shr/qtmoko... and in his defense, I can't think of too many more good points. Maybe we can put up a 'feature list' of good points that reporters like him can use when writing articles on the GTA04. Please add them to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Marketing_GTA04#Good_reasons_to_purchase_a_GTA04 or reply to this thread and I will add them to the page at the end of the week.

Looks like Openmoko is using the Amazon cloud to host these files. The tracker is at http://tracker.amazonaws.com:6969/announce and it times out when you talk to it. Developers have accessed these files recently; Siebrand Mazeland and Christopher Hall have done github updates within the last couple weeks, and there's a base files update on the download page dated 20 June. So this must be a recent problem. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
