best way for a Canadian to buy a FreeRunner?

2009-07-15 Thread Brolin Empey
Hello list,

I have decided to finally try a FreeRunner after tiring of my Nokia 6103b’s
limitations.  I have even started using a paper todo list again for personal
tasks because my Nokia 6103b is limited to 40 tasks, but I would rather have
todo lists in a handheld computer, such as a FreeRunner.

Anyway, what is the best way for me to buy a FreeRunner?  I want a
buzz-fixed version.  I live in Delta, British Columbia, Canada.  I guess I
can either buy from the Canadian Openmoko distributor or import a FreeRunner
from the USA.  I live close to Washington state.  My parents have a PO box
(probably not the most precise term) in Blaine, WA, so I could probably get
a FreeRunner shipped there and ask my parents to pick up my FreeRunner for
me the next time they go to Blaine.

Thanks,
Brolin

using a FreeRunner without cellular service

2009-07-15 Thread Brolin Empey
Hello list,

I am planning on buying a FreeRunner.  I need to check with my carrier
(Speak Out Wireless in Canada) about cellular usage outside of my home area,
but I may want to use my FreeRunner without cellular service.  Is this
possible?  Does it work well?  Do I have to remove my SIM or can I disable
the cellular service without removing the SIM?  I do not have a data plan.
I guess the FreeRunner should work fine without cellular service since it is
more of a handheld computer with phone functionality than only a cell phone,
but I have never used any Openmoko phone so I do not know.  My Nokia 6103b
is actually my first and only cell phone because I have had a cell phone
only since 2008, so I am relatively new to cell phones.  I am young (0x16,
which my dad says means I can drive in Silicon Valley. ;)) and am a computer
enthusiast, though, so I can easily learn new computer-related things.

Thanks,
Brolin

 Yes thanks to the updated wiki page I also got my bt headset working, but 
 does 
 the phone see when the bt headset is turned off?  After turning off my bt 
 headset and making a test call with the phone I get no sound, I'm sure what 
 is 
 going on is the phone is still trying to route sound to the bt headset.  

Guys, i'm glad it now works for you.

Since you started to actually test BT support i suggest now to file
bugs on FSO trac [1]. Please provide all the steps to reproduce and
attach relevant parts of frameworkd log.

Also if your headset at least once (after clean boot) worked (means
you at least heard the other side) please add its make and model to
the list in the wiki [2].

A small hint about implementing headset button handling: bluez already

 One way: from Terminal (which is on desktop), issue this command:

 # sleep 5; gpe-scap

 then switch to the window you want, wait a while...

 Of course you can add your own gpe-scape.desktop which execute a shell
 script with content as above.

Re: why openmoko is so slow? Is it a joke?

2009-07-15 Thread DJDAS
Joerg Lippmann ha scritto:
 When will that be? When the device is completely obsolete?
   
Please see below...
 Sorry, but after a year of waiting I still have an expensive brick that I can 
 neither use as a proper phone (speaker still WAY to low, too unstable, too 
 slow, too battery-hungry) nor as a PDA (no usable software available). 
Which distribution did you try? Have you tried looking at the archives, 
wikis and suggestions to optimize phone stability? I use it as my daily 
phone since September 2008 and missed about 10 calls and a couple of 
messages since then (I think 10 months is quite a good statistics), no 
problems with speakers, NEVER, I just tuned my alsastates 2 times (one 
before the buzzing fix and one after) with my brother on the other side 
of a call and everything worked well, battery longs about 2 days which 
is quite good for a mini-pc capable of doing almost everything 
(obviously you have to turn off unused antennas and lower the display 
backlight, I use the mid setup). What do you mean with no usable 
software available? I use TangoGPS, and Navit for mapping and 
navigating, qtopia stack for phone, Minimo as web browser, Neon as 
picture viewer, ShortOM for system script launching, Mokoko as media 
player, Leafpad as text editor and a bunch of other apps which work very 
well.

 So I 
 really regret my decision to buy it. But then again, it was touted as a real 
 phone for end-users back then and being a happy Linux-User for 14 years, I 
 thought that I could live with some minor flaws...
   

Are you able to point me a link where the Freerunner was claimed as 
end-user phone? I follow the project since Neo1973 presentation and I 
never saw any message/announcement where the Freerunner was pointed as 
end-user device
 I'm really for the idea of freeing the phone (thats why I bought one), free 
 hardware and the community. And I really loved to see this effort to succeed. 
 But I came to realize that I start to hate this sluggish, instable device 
 without good software. 
Well dirt your hands and write some software, don't wait someone does it 
for you complaining and whining it's too late and the device is becoming 
obsolete (consider some distros are still supporting the Neo1973 so the 
Freerunner will be supported for many years to come, I think). It's easy 
to complain, more difficult participate and become part of a dream and a 
way of think and live. Whining is useless, coding pushes things forward ;)

 I cannot help it. I haven't found a single distro that 
 works well out of the box. The best ones so far were QTopia/QTe and Android. 
 And neither are really community efforts. 
If you want to try a distro (it's not so updated but it works out of the 
box) contact me be email and I'll send you informations to download a rootfs

 So I consider my personal experiment 
 (buying a community-driven phone for 300 EUR) as failed. Sorry.
   
Well, the only thing I can complain is hardware bugs because not so many 
people are good with soldering and fix, but after the buzzing fix I can 
definitely say my Freerunner is a great device (calling a phone is 
reductive). I will for sure be a buyer (if possible) of the next 
generation device when the Glamo will be trashcanned because I think 
this is the only real bad stuff that limits usability but with a little 
workarounds and theming even this is a minor problem for me.
And more important I believe in this dream and will never stop thanking 
Sean, Steve and the others for making it possible.
Bye.

 BT as A2DP (music playback) works for me using a motorola S9 headset.
 Have not tried to get GSM working through it yet.  wifi works well,
 except I find it quite insensitive compared to most laptops in direct
 comparison (I use wpa-supplicant, not lame attempts like mofi etc.
 Perhaps my biggest beef is that the community is very much into NIH (not
 invented here) and tries to (poorly) produce applications instead of
 improving and using existing stuff.

M2c about WiFi follows:

* the driver autoups the interface when powered on, so udev scripts
does not configure it, you have to manually type ifup, this was
signaled and patch proposed everywhere and in the openembedded
development list too but was ignored

*  wpa_roam support is broken in OE based distro (should work fine on
debian, but I did not test it), so you may not differentiate
static/dynamic ip per network, and may have problem when changing wifi
cell

* 2.6.29 kernel has up/down issues

* 2.6.28 kernel has wow interrupts problem

* all kernels randomly crashes if you use wifi deeply

* peoples laughs when taking several minutes to launch terminal and vi
to connect to their home network

* GUI software does not take care of TLS/TTLS/PEAP/LEAP and so on

And most important, it seems there is absolutely no care from the
community about WiFi in general, for example the 2.6.29 kernel bug was
openened 3 months ago, I understand the kernel is mantained by
volounters, but they may be not involved in a problem that seems does
not affects anyone (same words I read about FSO and bt support).

Of course (according to the sentence fix it by yourself) on my
freerunner I'm able to use wifi patching manually the kernel, or
downgrading it, playing with udev scripts , editing
wpa_supplicant.conf, and for a couple of week I'm experimenting some
sort of dbus driven wpa_supplicant with success.

So it works for me (some random kernel ops), and works for you, but
saying WiFi works fine on freerunner may seems a joke IMHO.

Subject: [SHR - Latest unstable] callrec
To: List for Openmoko community discussion community@lists.openmoko.org


does this application work?

I installed it from the repository, it does start, I press on the rec
button, initiate a call, creates a wv file but no sound in there!

Also, the screenshots I saw in the wiki do not correspond to what I have
installed! Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

[all] call for configurations

2009-07-15 Thread Davide Scaini
Ok guys!
we're talking everyday of a different issue that makes our fr not really
usable... but i'm sure that there is someone who as a fr decently working
and he/she can share with us his tips.
My idea is to open a thread where everyone posts his configuration with
working/not working sections. Maybe, finally, we can find a balance merging
all the diffs that works...

My2cents:

system: SHR-U shr-image-glibc-ipk--20090709
kernel:
2.6.28-oe1+gitr34240a1c06ae36180dee695aa25bbae869b2aa26-r3-om-gta02.bin
(it'a a TRUE .28-rc4)
(with modules, i haven't figured out how to extract the tar on my fr, i
extract it on the sd then cp on /lib/ )
boot: qi


Performances:
wifi: I got wifi working for a long with that kernel, but now i cannot get
connected via wifi 'cause this error: run-parts:
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant
exited with code 1
i have no idea how to handle it.
(on debian i had always a working wifi with no troubles... i should search
for the script i used...)

gprs: never tried

gps: works like a charm

calls: i have the very same of all with call volume, but i'll fix it copying
alsa states from shr-testing.

usb: get the connection reliably

software: minimo, tangogps, yaouh, orrery, mofi, leafpad (terminal) are the
most used.
shr-settings is _very_ useful, that' why i abandoned debian (even if debian
has tons of software...)

what i miss: a realiable wifi :( a finger friendly file manager.
(ps: I cannot download anymore bigG maps iwth the repos linked on wiki...
do you know why?)


As you can see my system is not really that working, what i really miss is
the wifi... i mainly use it as a pda.

Re: Sms-sentry patch : call me back

2009-07-15 Thread Petr Vanek
 You register a known sim with SMS-sentry and if it gets changed the
 phone sends it's location to a predefined 
 number.

  Ha ! Neat solution to the problem. Hope you add that soon.

great! it would make sense to have more SMS on the list so when testing
and swapping SIMs we don't send out too many SMS.

Also, if at that moment of SIM swap there is no GSM signal, the SMS
sending will fail, or not?

i think i should get another freerunner already for my wife, her dumb
phone starts to be way too dumb already...

Re: [all] call for configurations

hmm, I am using the same kernel/shr-u combination, but with fso-abyss :)
cant get gsm with 2.6.29 :(

wifi works well for, even stopping wpa at home and reassociating to a

the wifi power control first.

#!/bin/sh

killall -9 wpa_supplicant udhcpc

rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/eth0

echo wifi starting!

Use the following one liner:

mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device
org.freesmartphone.GSM.Device.SetSpeakerVolume 68

With an otherwise standard shr-u, its fine - if I dont reduce the volume
this way the other end just hears noise.  Ive tried to tune the state
file, but no luck - too many settings and too little time ...

 Initiate the call and then press the rec button as per the wiki. works on

did exactly that but I record silence. I get a wav file but no sound :(

When callrec was installed, I was getting messages that was trying to change

To be more precise when I say it is incompatible with GSM I have to

Try the call recorder on opkg.org. I used that one. Or mail Tom tom at
stosb.com  He is the author of call recorder. There is also Dictator that
performs the same function.

and yes, you need to do it after every boot - there is somewhere in
the .e directory you can put a script to run the command and any others
thats its good to do on startup (restart atd to fix ffalarms, ifdown

 and yes, you need to do it after every boot - there is somewhere in
 the .e directory you can put a script to run the command and any others
 thats its good to do on startup (restart atd to fix ffalarms, ifdown
 usb0;ifup usb0 to make sure usb0 keeps working etc).


sometimes i use /etc/bootmisc.sh for my dirty hacks...

 Because I have a s*ny headset, but it is especially not suited for music
 listening (maybe if I want to exercise the muscle in my ear, it is good
 for;)

 Im asking because the audio plug on the freerunner is not good for
 bass sounds, so Im looking something better.

Since when did people ever agree on the 'best' piece of audio gear? Not going 
to happen! I would go for something like the Plantronics BT3030 or similar 
Motorola since these have a headphone jack to plug in whatever your preferred 
headphones are. You may prefer the style with the bluetooth/battery blob built 
into the headband though.

 Try the call recorder on opkg.org. I used that one. Or mail Tom tom at
 stosb.com  He is the author of call recorder. There is also Dictator that
 performs the same function.

Must be something with python-alsaaudio or python-wav or something. The

Statefile has not worked so far - changing various settings either has
no effect, or makes things worse (mic volume or speaker volume is
totally inadequate).

Also I saw your post that this command sets clevl to 255 or maximum -
that in itself is a recipe for disaster in my view - never run anything
analog flatout unless you are absolutely sure that there are no side
effects - and as the audio chain is playing up and nothing else seems to
fix it, this seems the way to go.

 Just use alsactl and alsamixer for tuning state file. Nothing hard,
 there are only about 4 interesting controls, named friendly.
 

Two reasons - here in Australia using a prepaid card you can run up a
huge bill making test calls.

and it hasnt fixed the problem in a usable way so far.

Also, it would be useful to know the reason why you want to run the GSM

AT+CLVL is not GSM input, it's output. And tuning audio volume belongs

 Hello list,

 I have decided to finally try a FreeRunner after tiring of my Nokia 6103b’s
 limitations.  I have even started using a paper todo list again for personal

 todo lists in a handheld computer, such as a FreeRunner.

 Anyway, what is the best way for me to buy a FreeRunner?  I want a
 buzz-fixed version.  I live in Delta, British Columbia, Canada.  I guess I
 can either buy from the Canadian Openmoko distributor or import a FreeRunner
 from the USA.  I live close to Washington state.  My parents have a PO box
 (probably not the most precise term) in Blaine, WA, so I could probably get
 a FreeRunner shipped there and ask my parents to pick up my FreeRunner for

If you force mplayer to play at double speed, you'll get original sound:

For example, with

mplayer -speed 2 file.wav

it sounds OK

If you force (without resampling) samplerate from 8 KHz to 16 KHz in 
Audacity, you also obtain correct speed.

Might be they are 16 KHz samples with an incorrect 8 KHz header?

Hope to be of help.

Re: [All] Intone bluetooth commands

2009-07-15 Thread The Digital Pioneer

 Can somebody point to the highest quality headset available on the market
 designed for music listening


I can't say it's the highest quality, but it's good enough for me. I use the
Plantronics Voyager 855, which is a typical bluetooth earpiece with an
attachable ear loop with a wire to another bud for your other ear. It's mono
or stereo, depending on whether the other bud is connected or not. I have it
working for both A2DP music and GSM calls (thanks to Paul Fertser).

c_c:
I'll try to get you scancodes as soon as I can, but they will be from my
laptop, so I'm not sure if they will work on the FR or not. The FR doesn't
have xev, so if you can point me to a working scancode reporting app, I'll
check it.

 great! it would make sense to have more SMS on the list so when testing
 and swapping SIMs we don't send out too many SMS.
 
 Also, if at that moment of SIM swap there is no GSM signal, the SMS
 sending will fail, or not?
 

It will fail, the FR does not seem to queue up unsent SMS. It certainly 
fail for sms sent through the sms app at a time of bad gsm coverage.

But sms-sentry can be coded to send a new sms every 5 min or so, until
you recover the stolen phone and reconfigure it. :-)

 Hello list,

 I am planning on buying a FreeRunner.  I need to check with my carrier
 (Speak Out Wireless in Canada) about cellular usage outside of my home
 area, but I may want to use my FreeRunner without cellular service.  Is
 this possible?  Does it work well?  Do I have to remove my SIM or can I
 disable the cellular service without removing the SIM?  I do not have a
 data plan. I guess the FreeRunner should work fine without cellular service
 since it is more of a handheld computer with phone functionality than only
 a cell phone, but I have never used any Openmoko phone so I do not know. 
 My Nokia 6103b is actually my first and only cell phone because I have had
 a cell phone only since 2008, so I am relatively new to cell phones.  I am
 young (0x16, which my dad says means I can drive in Silicon Valley. ;)) and
 am a computer enthusiast, though, so I can easily learn new
 computer-related things.

 Thanks,
 Brolin

The SIM I use for testing is a speakout wireless SIM so there is no problem 
with getting it to work with them. They have service anywhere in Canada that 
rogers has service but you will be SOL anywhere else including the states. If 
you're planning to travel out of Canada it is infinitely cheaper just to buy a 
SIM card when you arrive at your destination than paying overpriced Canadian 
rates. This sometimes requires the help of a citizen of the country but 
usually only requires a credit card.

I also regularly use a freerunner as a bike GPS and there are no problems 
running it without a SIM if you are running an A7. My A5 on the other hand 
does have GPS issues if it can't get a valid cell signal. If you purchase it 
new you can chose A6 or A7 , I'd advise the A7.

Re: [All] Intone bluetooth commands

OK, well I believe my headset sends XF86AudioPlay, XF86AudioPause,
XF86AudioNext and XF86AudioPrev

keycodes are:
162 0x1008ff14 (XF86AudioPlay)  0x1008ff31 (XF86AudioPause)
0x1008ff14 (XF86AudioPlay)  0x1008ff31 (XF86AudioPause)  0x1008ff14
(XF86AudioPlay)  0x1008ff31 (XF86AudioPause)
153 0x1008ff17 (XF86AudioNext)  0x (NoSymbol)
0x1008ff17 (XF86AudioNext)  0x (NoSymbol)   0x1008ff17
(XF86AudioNext)
144 0x1008ff16 (XF86AudioPrev)  0x (NoSymbol)
0x1008ff16 (XF86AudioPrev)  0x (NoSymbol)   0x1008ff16
(XF86AudioPrev)

It looks like play and pause share a code, which makes sense. These keycodes
come from my desktop and I don't know if they are the same on the FR.
However, the FR definitely recognizes something because when I pressed a
button on my headset, the display turned on.

Is there a way to make the FR print what keys are pressed when you press
them?

I think I was a bit too quick with my answer! :)

Well, at least in Audacity, when you open the wav file, you get in the left
hand side a box with info like file name, sound quality, sample rate etc. On
top of that box there is a drop-down list where you can set different
parameters. I changed the 'Set Rate' entry to 16000Hz from 8000 Hz and
indeed works fine.

Hope the above description will be of a help to other users as well.

Unless specified in the release notes you should not install new versions of :

/etc/frameworkd.conf

You should always do a diff to try and see what is changing so if you make the
