Clear will be more obvious I really hope you will implement a clear button - one button press is faster than holding down the backspace key, IMHO. We on the same page... We didn't want to add another button. We might use left to right swipes in a later release. Not sure yet... Swipes might work. It doesn't have to be a physical button - how about using a corner of the screen for that purpose? Not really sure it would work - if I am right handed, I will use the thumb of my right hand to scroll on the right side of the screen, and a button on the lower left corner of the screen wouldn't interfere. However, if a left handed person used the device, he or she might use the left side of the screen to scroll. Hmm, this idea needs more thinking. Good idea. We'll try this out. Annoyances: - it is impossible (for me at least) to take out the microSD card without using a tool (pliers or something). Why do I want to take it out? To actually show people the small size of a Wikipedia database. :-) Push it in and it will pop out (beware it will *really* pop sometimes) Not on mine. I have tried - it never pos out. I also tried shakking the device - no, the card doesn't want to come out. My workaround is a handle made of tape - see my other post. Without that, I need something that can grab the cardon the sides - my fingers / nails doesn't fit in there (ok, I can do it, but it takes almost a minute, and a lot of cursing :-) ). You might laugh but I think you have the break it in a bit. Mine was firm the first 10 pushes or so. Now it's pop outs like crazy. - the buttons on the on screen keyboard is a bit small for my fingers (it is easy to press the character left or right of the one I want). I don't know how to solve this yet. Software. If you've used an iPhone, the keypad is 70% of WikiReader's size. And typing is a lot better. So just bear with us. We're working on this big time. Cool. I never have used an iPhone - I have a FreeRunner (and a 1973). FWIW, I had this idea about the keyboard: if nothing else works, you could always split the keyboard in a left and a right half, and only show one half at a time (with a button to switch to the other half). Not ideal, but then the buttons could be almost twice as wide. I think we can get the keypad great. It's just going to take another release.

Re: OT: Where can I meet a female companion with similar interests and personality /in person/?
Hello list, I am writing a follow-up/update to my original post just over 2 months later. What has changed since my original post? 1. I hired Dave McCormick to help me overcome some of my indefinitely-deferred tasks. 2. I have actually overcome my priority inversion and started trying to find my own home, partly with Dave’s help. I had my first housing offer for a 2-bedroom basement suite in East Ladner, but declined because of the crappy laundry situation. I visited another basement suite and an apartment with Dave and applied for both, but did not end up getting either suite. I wanted to live with Andrew Williamson because he has been my closest friend I know in person since we meet at Kingsford-Smith Elementary School in East Vancouver in 1995, but Andrew still does not have a job that pays money. He has been given 2 laptops and an iPod as payment for his current job, but he does not want to live with me unless he can contribute to the rent, which requires income of money instead of used electronics. Anyway, I have to call the Resident Manager of an apartment complex in Ladner (the same complex as I visited, but a different apartment) later today to see if my application has been accepted. If it has, I can probably get either a 1- or 3-bedroom apartment. I want the 3-bedroom so Andrew can live with me, but I want to split the rent with at least 1 (probably only 1) roommate, so I will probably ask for roommates on Craigslist and/or Kijiji if I get the 3-bedroom apartment. I decided I was going to apply for a mortgage to see if I was even approved, but I never did. (fail) I talked to a lender at my credit union about getting a mortgage and said I would apply, but never did. (fail) “When all is said and done, (far) more is said than done.” is so true. I have not even contacted a realtor about buying a home either. I know I will never own my own home if I am renting, but this is the path I have chosen. Writing of choices, I have recently been overwhelmed with ambivalence: I know there are endless things I could learn and tasks I could complete, but I choose to lay in my bed and inevitably end up falling asleep. I lay in my bed because I want to fantasise/dream about having a female companion and because I am tired of driving myself insane with overthinking and speculating about what I could be doing instead of actually doing something physical/observable to someone else. 3. I registered for OkCupid, mostly completed my profile, messaged at least 4 of my female peers. Not surprisingly, none replied. I lost interest in OkCupid and have not used it much for weeks. I even found a thread in OkCupid’s bulletin boards/forums about other users (OkCupidians)’s similar experience, so at least I know it is not just me who is ignored. 4. I met Alishams Hassam at one of the Vancouver Hackspace (VHS)’s Open Nights. I got extremely frustrated while driving there because I got lost in Vancouver. I have only a paper roadmap, but I often turn the wrong way because I do not know which direction I am going. That reminds me: I completely forgot about buying a better compass for my car. I wanted to install plain Debian on a MicroSDHC card so I could use Navit on my FreeRunner. I got recommendations of MicroSDHC cards to buy from this list, but I have not yet made finding a place to buy the recommended cards in Canada a sufficiently high priority for it to actually be done. Oh well, at least I may eventually be able to navigate Vancouver without a GPS navigation system if I get lost enough times, but I hate being lost. We learn by doing, though: I wanted to give up multiple times while I was learning to drive because I was constantly stalling and could not even change lanes in traffic, but now I feel confident enough to drive even in busy traffic in Vancouver; I have not stalled for months either. I used to hate my car’s manual transmission, but now I love it because it is fun to drive; I think driving an automatic would be very boring. Anyway, to get back on topic: I enjoyed meeting similarly geeky people in person at VHS. It is novel for me to discuss technical subjects in person because normally I discuss them only textually. I hoped to make some new friends I could meet in person outside of the events where I met them, but so far I have not except for Alishams, whom I have met in person only twice but have at least communicated with via telephone (we both use Fido monthly plans on our US FreeRunners. :)). 5. I registered for the Ubuntu Vancouver LoCo’s Meetup.com group + some dating groups on Meetup.com, but I have not even attended any of the dating groups’s meetups. (fail) Many of the meetups are in Vancouver on weeknights, which does not work well for me because if they are like the VHS

Received SMS going unnoticed
Hi, I've been using SHR unstable for my everyday phone for a while and i was wondering what solutions people are using to stop sms messages arriving without being noticed. I leave me phone running and on charge next to the PC when i'm at home so the battery is always full when i go out. What's happening is I get a sms and of course the sound plays but i'm not there to hear it. With the auto screen poweroff I don't even notice when I return to the PC, can be a few hours before i tap the phone and notice. I could turn off auto screen poweroff, so when I return the new message is visible on the phone but then the LCD would be running pretty much all day/night which is probably not so good for its lifespan. What would be ideal is for it to keep playing the new message sound every few minutes while the new message popup is being displayed. Does anyone have a cron script or anything to solve this problem.

Re: Received SMS going unnoticed

I cannot help you because i'm not using the fr as phone (waiting buzz fix), but this is indeed an interesting point to discuss about. d On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 11:09 PM, Ben Wilson b...@abcom.co.nz wrote: Unfortunately, i have gta01, no leds Ben.

Re: Received SMS going unnoticed
basically it should be possible, to write a rule for oeventsd in
rules.yaml (incoming sms should be an event supported).
if not, you could opimd-cli and do something like
opimd-cli messages query MessageRead 0 | grep Numer of results: | awk
'{print $4}'
which would print the number of unread (which 0 means, imo) messages
(Numer is the correct typo :-), but better check again).
as long as the resulting number != 0, you could trigger a vibration.
DISPLAY=:0 qdbus --system org.freesmartphone.odeviced
/org/freesmartphone/Device/LED/neo1973_vibrator
org.freesmartphone.Device.LED.SetBlinking 60 3000
i still don't know, how to call directly via bash/dbus call, which would
be a tad less resource consuming.
DISPLAY=:0 qdbus --system org.freesmartphone.opimd
/org/freesmartphone/PIM/Messages/Queries
org.freesmartphone.PIM.MessageQuery.GetResultCount
produces an error:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

Thanks
That looks like a good place to start, i'll have a go at it.

Re: Problem with dfu-util (flashing)
I used the Windows port of DFU-util (in Windows 7 RC), and it worked without complications. SHR is still booting (after 5 min++) - I thought 2 minutes boot time was an exaggeration :-) Hope this is the configuration stage or something so I don't have to wait this long every time :-/ Thanks for the support though! I'll try building from source once I fix my MBR :-) Dave wrote: I run kubuntu hardy (8.04) and found that I had to build dfu-util from source to get it to run reliably.
