Any opinions on purchasing from Koolu?

2008-08-07 Thread Nick Van Fossen
I've been trying to purchase a new 850 Freerunner for almost 2 weeks now, but as you already know the openmoko online store still says they are to arrive on July 25th... The only two US distributors are Koolu, and gp2xstore.com. Gp2xstore.com only lists the Neo 1973 - not freerunner, and has

2008-08-12 Thread Nick Van Fossen
I can't speak for the Openmoko developers, but it is fairly well known that the openmoko software is a work in progress with things breaking and being fixed very often. I believe most people who have the Neo phones have them to be part of something new that hasn't been done before on a phone,

Fun using power button LEDs as battery indicator

2008-10-10 Thread Nick Van Fossen
Some of you probably knew this, but I just found out that the Freerunner actually has a couple LEDs under the power button, but they don't seem to be used yet in 2008.9 stable. So, I thought it would be helpful to use them as an external battery power indicator. If you are like me, I let my

[2008.12] Anyone get iptables working?

2009-01-08 Thread Nick Van Fossen
So, with 2008.9 I was using iptables to tether my ubuntu laptop to my freerunner's gprs connection. But as of 2008.12 I'm getting an Illegal instruction error each time I run the iptables command. Commands I run on the freerunner to enable tethering after gprs connection: iptables -v -A

[Om2008.12] Adding swap space can stop app crashes

2009-01-16 Thread Nick Van Fossen
Just as a helpful note, adding swap space seems to help against application crashes. I've always had issues with tangoGPS and the various webbrower apps crashing. Looking into it a little more I notice that this was occurring when the puny 128MB of memory was getting filled up. So, I added
