Re: GTA02 for sale on ebay, currently going for $20
El Sunday 30 December 2012 20:41:19 Sebastian Krzyszkowiak va escriure: GTA01 does not have WiFi, GTA02 does. I don't know about GTA01 (it's probably the same, but I'm not sure) The GTA01 must have the battery when powered by USB ONLY the GTA02 can powered by usb without battery , but you can power GTA02 from USB without battery (on early models, GTA02A5, you need to have battery on boot - after that you can remove it), but GSM modem won't work when powered by USB, because it's connected directly to the battery. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

GTA02 boot without battery
My gta02, or possibly the bare board I removed to convert my GTA04 is getting a new job as a wifi audio forwarder to let me play music over my hifi wirelessly. I would like to remove the battery from this phone once it is set up to prevent damage to the battery and to free up another battery for long trips. Both of my GTA02s are A5 with buzzfix. It sounds like A7 had a change to allow it to boot without a battery. Does anyone know what the change is and if it is something I could apply myself? I am going to be doing the bass-fix and it would be nice to fix this at the same time.

Thanks, Ben Hi Ben, I'm interested in how you got the board to boot and be accessible from outside without a screen. Some time ago my GTA02 was dunked in water and that broke its screen. After reflashing SHR, I wasn't able to access it in any way because the screen was required to finish setup. What distribution did you use? Cheers, rhn P.S.

I should have bid on the ebay one ;) The $150 would be total budget for something (including shipping) that you've personally tested works with the python code I'm currently running on a desktop that uploads to http://emoncms.org. For something that has working wifi, and a USB-serial dongle that you have *tested*, that's in the $100 USD neighborhood. I'd say $50-$75 for a GTA02 without USB-serial, but working wifi. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

TV-Out was: Re: Happy New Year!
What would be great is if we have a TV out and an HDMI out from the phone with two USB sockets so that it can also be used as a generic computer. from the description i've got the impression that the gta04 supports tv-out via the audio connector. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

29C3 presentation on making a calypso phone act as a GSM base station
Hi, in case somebody missed it I highly recommend watching http://ftp.ccc.de/congress/29C3/mp4-h264-HQ/29c3-5226-en-further_hacks_calypso_h264.mp4 that shows how a cheap motorola phone with Calypso can be made to appear as a GSM base station without any hardware modifications.
