I am running the 'locations' app. When memory is low performance usually decreases gradually as you described. In my case it stays responsive until suddenly locks, so I doubt it is memory problem. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: GPS hardlocks OM2008.08
I do store maps on sim, but it hardly the cause, since all these programs hang the system while only tango uses these maps.

GPS hardlocks OM2008.08
When I run any program which uses GPS (Tango, locations, orrery, agps-ui) after some time OM hangs and nothing works. The only remedy is to remove the battery. On the other hand all these programs "work" fine while GPS is turned off. Just turning on GPS does not seem to produce the same effect unless some program is using it. I think it started after that update which fixed GSM problem. Any ideas? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Are there any instructions how to fully remove OM dialer + gsmd or how to fully remove Qtopia to fix it without reflashing? And why gsmd was replaced with qpe in the first place? Is gsmd somehow bad/buggy/obsolete?

I do not have any PIN, so it does not ask me for one. Moreover it does not wake up after suspend - the screen is blank. I am not even sure it suspends properly, cause I still able to ssh into it and if I issue apm -s at that time it gives me apm: Device or resource busy. Only reboot is the solution. I saw it register only tree/four times. All when I was playing with default GPS program, but it may be only coincidence. Qtopia also suffers from it, but not at that extent - it usually recovers signal after awhile. > > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
