how to do this?

something like the script here [1]? would that do the trick? would it
need to be done on every boot?

hello,
I'm having troubles too... I tried also an old (at the time was working) gprs 
chat file for my provider found in a backup of mine, but without success now.

I checked also empirically with my HI-FI amplifier the rf noise:
when I check my credit, start a call or send an sms I'm able to listen the 
typical tarata-tarata-tarata... but when I launch the gprs connection all is 
quiet! deep silence!

so, imho, something is not working in the latest qtmoko release.
(I can remember v19 was ok for sure)

kind regards,
a.

Have you continued restarting QtEI to see if your contacts reappear?

Have you used another phone or a SIM card reader to verify your contacts 
are still on your SIM?

I think you mean vibrator, which is controlled by sysfs interface.

chgrp and chmod appear to work, or I'm not understanding what you mean?

Contacts lost in qtmoko 26

2010-09-09 Thread Rashid 
Hi guys,

when i updated from v22 to v24 i lost my contacts but they showed up sometimes 
(when i called someone by number which was added before I flashed the device). 
New contacts were there.

At the first start after flashing all contacts were there. No are all gone. 
Someone knows a way to fix the problem?
