Re: Stage of GTA03 development?
Man, I really don't care for 3G. I don't know if the GTA03 is going to be slated on a production-quality phone, but for development purposes, and as a device which I can use as a general purpose embedded projects base, 3G doesn't matter. If I want data speeds, I'm going to veer away from GSM, as GSM speeds will not touch CDMA providers (at least in the USA). I'd like a user-upgradeable model, but in the end it doesn't really matter. I'd prefer a cheaper, better quality phone, that comes out soon.

Re: Stage of GTA03 development?
I don't care for 3G. GSM is a crappy technology here in the states (I blame the implementors). We have flat data rates for a variety of reasons. Additionally, why are we expecting 3G from OM, they are having a hard time getting a phone right. Why are we holding them to the same standards as Apple, HTC, etc... Apple can't get 3G in the iPhone for two years. Their hardware staff is probably a thousand times bigger than the 2 guys working on mokoforesight right now. (Based on the assumption they have 2000 people doing hardware, including vendors, and contractors. Give OM a break.

Re: Stage of GTA03 development?
Does OM even sell that many units? I thought it was more in the 3-5k range as of now. The Telit module would be nice, but is quite expensive. I've also looked at Sierra, but all their modules are MiniPCI based. One of the neat things about going with a Telit module, would be OM could ship with the 'low-end' modem (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, maybe?), and it would be user-upgradeable to a 3/3G/CDMA module. Additionally, if Telit puts out new modules in the future, we could just purchase those and stick them in our phones. It'd be nice if OpenMoko resold them at a discounted price of course :-). I understand the antenna problem, and RF issues. We would have to figure out a way to make that work. For now: I am very happy with the choice of the mc75i.

Re: [Report] - Buzz fix
At the local university electronics lab they have SMD soldering equipment (scops, irons, etc...). I'm sure you could scout out some grad students, and giving them the proper diagrams, parts, and reimbursement to fix your freerunner.

Re: Default IP Address on All Distributions
The OpenMoko FreeRunner was never aimed at end users. It's always been aimed at developers, and if you don't know how to set routes do a man "ip" or "ip help." There are a fair chunk of those developers who don't have the IP overlap issue. I'd say there are maybe 1000 active freerunner users, and maybe 60% of them have an overlapping IP. I counted how long it takes to change the IP (on debian) (including adding routes, setting link up), and it was about 45 seconds. That's a total of 7.5 man hours world wide. Installing active desktop, and all the other crap for my palm phone takes 20-35 minutes--way longer. Anyways, I'm just saying 7.5 global hours isn't very much when you're considering mass market smart phones probably soak up millions of hours a year. Additionally, 7.5 is NOTHING, especially when there are 6.5 billion people in the world. Stop yer whining. On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 11:01 AM, Dr. H.

Re: Default IP Address on All Distributions
Most Linux users, or most users that this device is aimed at are intelligent enough to do a "ip addr add 192.168.0.200/32 dev usb0" "ip route add 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0" This will only make two addresses on your network inaccessible. Then you can SSH into it, and change the IP address. This takes a whole 5 minutes! It'll make you miserable to not have connectivity, I understand, but just handle it. We've finally standardized on a set of IPs, and -everyone- is happy with it, except a few individuals who don't know how to use their system.

FreeRunner Happiness
Sorry if this double posted guys. I was having issues with Gmail. Well, usually companies like these have huge "firewalls" before you hit someone with a respectable IQ. Though, their phones are slightly more vulnerable. So, who is up to calling them? If I had some amount of donations, I would be willing to create two 800 numbers that redirect to the two known smediatech numbers. The rates would be $0.0415/minute. Additionally snail mail is useful, because it creates a pain in the ass for whoever is filtering the mail. I don't know if there is a Taiwainese equivalent of the BBB, but if there is, please chime in. Other ideas: -Google bomb the name "Smediatech" to something nasty [like a page about how smedia sucks] -Just a general web page about smedia's suckage. Remember guys, stay legal.

Re: FreeRunner Happiness
Seconded. Regarding the software: It's awesome, and progressing very well Regarding the hardware: The Freerunner gods must be looking down on me. I've purchased 4 FRs (3 for work, 1 personal). Currently there are two sitting in data centers monitoring our "critical infrastructure," one sitting next to my home server, and yet another sitting on my office desk. These devices fill very small niches. Anyways, onto the bad: I have avoided the GSM buzz bug, #666, etc... The only bugs I have experienced are the SDHC card failure (Stupid, crappy glamo, we really should bitch out Smedia..., see below for contact info), and the GSM echo. I gotta say, well done. Keep it coming. Smedia's addresses: 8F., No.1, Jinshan 7th St., Hsinchu City, Taiwan Tel: +886-3-6661166 Fax: +886-3-5670055 Addr :9F,No.233-1, Baociao Rd.,Sindian City, Taipei County 23145.Taiwan.

Re: Om2008.9 GPS Fix some help, please
Find a place about 80 feet from anything higher than the Freerunner. Leave the freerunner sitting for about 20 minutes, and you should be able to get a fix. Also, try to get the AGPS data from ublox if you're using a distribution which does not save the almanac.

Re: Any progress on the Telit UC864 3.5G modem?
This is one of those modular devices, correct? Does this mean there is a chance of being able to swap in a CDMA module?

Bounties?
Just out of curiosity, how many OpenMoko users out there would be willing to pay for bounties? Additionally, how many developers would work for bounties? What sort of bounties would you guys request? How much would you pay? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
