Re: receiving SMS messages

2008-08-05 Thread Vince M. Clark
Are you able to send OK with the Qtopia image? I can receive but not send. 
Could be an issue with my provider which is T-Mobile. Haven't tested receiving 
in suspend vs. awake mode but will try it.

 I have mainly been using the qtopia image from qtopia.net, but have 
 been regularly updating my kernel from buildhost.openmoko.org. 
 
 On doing some testing, I find the following: I can receive SMS messages 
 perfectly whilst the phone is on, in qtopia. Not always so well in the GTK 
 stack. 
 
 If the phone is in standby, and I receive a text message, the phone 
 wakes up but does not receive a text message. The person sending the 
 message does, however, receive a delivery report. This occurs in both 
 images as well. 
 
 If I then subsequently receive a message after the others, whilst the 
 phone is out of standby, I receive all the messages together. Hence, no 
 messages are lost in the ether, but it seems that messages received 
 whilst the phone is on standby are temporarily mislaid. 
 If there is any information I can provide to help you sort this please just 
 let me know. This is one of very few things preventing me using the neo 
 as a day to day phone with qtopia.

Re: Testing and Unstable feeds for the FSO distribution are now available

2008-08-21 Thread Vince M. Clark
I replaced all the URLs in my opkg/*.conf files with URLs that point to 
http://shr.bearstech.com/fso-testing/ipk/... 

I was able to map URLs in every file except fic-gta02-feed.conf. There is no 
fic-gta02 directory under http://shr.bearstech.com/fso-testing/ipk/ so I just 
removed that conf file. I can now do a successful opkg update. The only errors 
I get are related to signatures because there are no Packages.sig files on the 
server. 

When I run opkg upgrade it thinks for a minute then returns to the command 
prompt without upgrading any packages. Is it safe to assume that this is 
because nothing has changed since I installed my test build or did I do 
something wrong by removing the fic-gta02-feed.conf?

Re: Fourth Request: What is the warranty for the FreeRunner?

I would expect OM to warranty hardware defects. A DIY fix is acceptable as long 
as it doesn't require special tools or create potential to do more damage. I

 Do you imagine what would happen if everyone had warranty and discovered gps 
 fix issue? Openmoko would broke on repairs (more on shipping costs). 
 But when it will be in a mature stage I thing we will need a warranty of 
 some kind. 
 
 
 I have to disagree, this phone was sold as a GSM phone, if for instance the 
 GSM buzzing issue needs 
 a repair that cannot be done by the end user then I think OM is responsible 
 for fixing that issue, 
 otherwise (at least in the US) they can be held accountable for false 
 advertising, as with the 
 buzzing the phone is unusable as a GSM phone which was its primary purpose. 
 
 I am sure they will take care of this issue though, and do the right thing. 
 When the first batch 
 of gta02 phones were sold, the Developer only and not usable as a primary 
 phone issues were not 
 well spelled out (if at all), and not spelled out at all on the OM store 
 front. They have done a 
 better job now of informing potential buyers, but there were an awful lot of 
 phones sold initially 
 without that disclaimer. 
 
 I for one would have waited for GTA03 or later if it had been spelled out, 
 just as I skipped GTA01 
 because it was well spelled out it was an alpha prototype for developers 
 only. 
 
 IMHO GTA02 was initially sold as Ready for end users or at least Usable as 
 a primary phone, 
 which turned out to be incorrect. I think the endless discussions on this 
 list are due to that mis 
 perception by many of the people who bought the first batches of GTA02's. 
 
 I only partially regret my early purchase though. I can afford to have a $400 
 play toy, it has kept 
 me busy for hours on end trying to get it to work the way I want, however 
 that will change if I 
 can't fix the GSM buzz issue, the way I have been able to fix many of the 
 other issues.

I partially agree with Jim Morris. I surely don't regret buying my FR 
and I'm finding it a great toy. But he's right: it was sold to me as a 
phone and I expect GSM usability from it in the future. It was not 
advertised as a developer only phone, but as a phone ready for mass 
production. At this moment people refuse to call me on the FR because 
of the buzz. 

I'm very happy that the hardware engineers (like Joerg) are working on 
this problem, because it really should be top-priority. I'm also still 
hoping they find a sollution. 
If not I will consider myself lucky that I bought it from a European 
distributor and will use my warranty... 

But I'm a patient man; Go Hardware Engineers! :-)

dead battery

2008-09-30 Thread Vince M. Clark
My battery is completely drained so I cannot boot to charge it. 

The following thread offered three possible solutions:

Does anyone know where I can get an external charger that will work with the 
Freerunner battery?

A desktop charger for a Nokia BL-5c or BL-6c battery will do the job, at 
least the two non-Nokia ones I've tried. I've done it a few times. I've 
never let it sit on the charger until full, so I don't know if the charger 
can recognize full charge on the FreeRunner battery or not, but left on the 
charger for 15-20 minutes it will boot the FreeRunner. 

The most readily-accessible source is likely to be a friend with a Nokia 
phone using one of those batteries - several models over the past six or 
eight years. (mine is a 6600) If you know anyone with a nokia phone (now 
or the past several years) it's worth asking them what battery it uses, if 
they have a desktop charger, and if you can borrow it. (or keep it - if 
they're not using the phone ask for the charger and battery ;)

Re: dead battery

2008-09-30 Thread Vince M. Clark
One more question. Maybe it will be obvious once I get my hands on a charger, 
but how do you actually connect the battery? Will it fit in an old Nokia phone? 
Or do you somehow connect the battery directly to the charger?

6 - 8 hours on the wall charger is not unusual for my dead battery to start to

Thanks Shawn. I have tried NOR boot (holding aux button while pressing power

leave it plugged into the wall charger overnight and see what happens. In the

When trying to get into NOR do you already have it plugged into your 
charger? That is how I was able to finally get mine to boot, you only 
need the actual OpenMoko charger until it starts up then you can use 
whatever USB charger you prefer. Just plug into wall-socket and phone, 
start NOR twice, viola.

Re: dead battery

2008-09-30 Thread Vince M. Clark
As long as it eventually comes back on I'm fine. I didn't realize that the wall 
charger would eventually get enough charge in the battery to boot it. My 
impression from the other thread was that once the battery was dead you were 
screwed without an external charger or extra battery.

I don't think it is as complicated as that. I think it's merely the amount of 
charge the FR is able to negotiate when powered off. Depending on the level of 
'dead' determines how long you need to trickle charge it before anything 
useful occurs. 

I'd say battery maintenance and usage patterns may contribute also. 

From what I have seen on this list, I don't think this situation will change 
in a hurry, if ever.

Nope, don't need the external, but if it is flat dead to where NOR won't 
start you'll be a few hours (charges at 50mA IIRC) before you can even 
try again.

Re: dead battery

2008-10-01 Thread Vince M. Clark
Well, I'm out of options. I left my fr plugged into the trickle charger 
overnight. Still won't boot. 

Then I read this last post, about removing the battery long enough for a reset, 
plugging into USB for 5-10 min, unplug/pause/plug back in. Still won't boot. 

The only thing I haven't done that was recommended in this last post is to use 
the latest u-boot. Unfortunately I cannot do this until I get it to boot. Guess 
I will wait for my external charger to arrive. 

Should I be concerned that this isn't just a battery issue and maybe my fr is 
dead?

These are my understandings from lots of reading and previous posts

does happen :( 

With the later u-boots, usb default is 100ma as soon as its plugged in. 
This unfortunately is less than a running Fr needs. Normally as soon as 
the operating system is up enough, it will negotiate up to 500ma with 
the host, or in the case of the wall charger, read the sense resistor 
and see that 1A is available. When the OS is suspended, the PMU manages 
the charge until the battery is charged whereupon it switches off - and 
stays off. If the OS is running, it will cycle back on when the battery 
level falls to 10-20% (reports vary) as the OS can reset and renegotiate 
the charge level. 

If the battery is very low (i.e., the internal fail-safe disconnects 
it), remove it from the phone for 30 seconds or so. This allows the 
fail-safe to reset (this is what I think happens based on my 
observations) so the 100ma can get to the battery, and also reset the 
phone hardware - in particular the GSM modem which is directly connected 
to the battery and is thought to be root cause by Andy Green - possibly 
goes into a wierd state as power drops as well, preventing restart until 
reset. 

The power rail of course drops due to the inrush current much more 
during startup with a low battery than normal, causing one chip (USB I 
think) to detect a dangerously low voltage and issue a shutdown. So you 
cant get the phone to boot until the battery has had a few minutes of 
charge. 

In my case, USB to my laptop or a desktop machine does it. 
Remove/pause/replace battery 
plug into USB for 5-10 minutes 
remove/pause/replug USB cable and normal boot will happen within a few 
seconds. 

The wall charger should work as well, but on my one try it didnt - 
possibly because the u-boot wasnt new enough at the time. 

Recommendation - use a late (latest!) u-boot.

Re: Stable OM distro

2008-10-01 Thread Vince M. Clark
I'm assuming you are referring to Qtopia 4.3 right? It was close but not quite 
there. I have very high hopes for 4.4.

You can try FDOM. It's somewhat bloated, but works nicely for me. 

Nice, I will try this as well. Even Qtopia didn't work out for me. Other users 
have the same experience? It usually takes a while before problems show, and 
I'm really hoping I will be able to at least phone and sms with a normal 
battery life (and resume that works)

Re: dead battery

2008-10-02 Thread Vince M. Clark
OK now you guys are just messing with me ;-) 

Nothing is working. I've taken everything out, tried all different combinations 
based on suggestions from the community. 

I'm sure at this point I have a totally dead battery and old u-boot. I'll get 
it jump started and update u-boot.

 The 'leave it overnight' scenario is the best one I encounter for a dead 
 battery ;) ... I think you'll be right. 
 
 Sarton 

A good one is : 
- Hold down the aux key. 
- Put battery in. 
- Put usb in. 
- Hold down the power key. 
- Release aux key. 
- Wait for menu.

Re: dead battery

2008-10-02 Thread Vince M. Clark
I ran down to Batteries Plus and picked up a Rayovac replacement that fits. It 
doesn't come charged but has enough charge to at least jump start my fr. I put 
in the new battery, plugged in the usb cable, and was able to boot. 

Then I took out the Rayovac battery and put the original battery back in. 
Device stayed running and I am hoping the battery is charging. The power button 
is staying illuminated and is red. Any idea what that means?

I think you mean the AUX button is staying lit. That means its charging. 

The power button is the round one.

Re: kernel for qt extended 4.4

2008-10-02 Thread Vince M. Clark
I switched a setting to make the menus do the wheel thing (didn't realize what 
I was doing when I selected it) and now I cannot select anything. Touchscreen 
doesn't respond to selection on the wheel. So now I can't get to settings, 
apps, etc. Guess I'll re-flash. 

While I was able to get to apps I don't recall seeing the webkit browser or a 
GPS app. Am I missing something? 

I agree, not quite stable yet.

  hmmm ... I'm guessing that image isn't the official released one, 
  too many bugs (old and new): 
  
  - lots of kernel-warnings spit out during booting (using

  previous 4.3.x snapshot version). Or maybe this is a uimage issue? 
  - timezone management isn't working (the files just aren't there

  - echo problem is back 
  - alarm keeps vibrating the phone, after pressing snooze 
  - each received call arrives twice, causing the second call to show 
  up as missed 
  
  The image is called 4.4.1, but my phone reports it as 4.4.2 ... I 
  thought it was going to be 4.4.3? 
 
 Yup! I have all of those issues you mention. Anyway, USB networking 
 is now working after i flashed mwester kernel. I am able to ssh but i 
 cannot connect to the internet. ping google.com gives me ping: bad 
 address 'google.com'. 
 
 I checked /etc/resolv.conf and it is empty. 

Fix the resolv issue by putting the line nameserver A.B.C.D in 
your /etc/resolv.conf (A.B.C.D being the IP of your own nameserver). 
Always needed for usb connections. 
But still ... too many issues found in 2 minutes of testing for this to 
be stable.

FDOM and WiFi

Using Mofi I can see my access point and when I tap on connect to AP it seems 
to connect (the circle changes from grey to orange) but I don't see an IP 
address. If I open a terminal and run ifconfig all I have is eth0, lo, and

The wifi is eth0. Is there an address associated with it there? Also 
check the output of iwconfig. If it has associated the AP then it 
should say Access Point: and then give the MAC address of the AP.

At this point you can try manually configuring the wireless card: 

iwconfig eth0 essid linksys 

Does your network have an encryption key? How many letters? I think 
there is a bug that one letter keys don't work. 

If your network has an encryption key, I think another bug requires that 
you set the key before the ID thus: 

iwconfig eth0 key 123456789 essid linksys 

Let me know if this works and we'll update the wiki accordingly

FreeRunner for Sale in Denver - $350 or best offer

2008-10-07 Thread Vince M. Clark
Will hand deliver if you're in Denver, or ship otherwise. Cash or credit cards 
accepted. 

This FreeRunner is in perfect condition. I have had it since August and have 
only used it for tinkering. 
It has a Zagg Invisible Shield on the screen plus I will include two extra ones 
still in their boxes. 
I will also include a Rayovac rechargeable battery worth $35. It is an 
aftermarket replacement for the Nokia BL series batteries, which fit in the fr 
battery compartment.
