 Hi all,

 In keeping with moving the control advantage away from the network
 operators, and to the users, I wonder what you think of this suggestion:

 When you use a SIP server, like Openser.org , you can set the CLI (Calling
 line identifier) to any value you like when you send the call on to a PSTN
 gateway.
 That means the 'from' number you see on your mobile screen when I call you
 from a SIP proxy can be any numeric value I like. (most PSTN termination
 gateways will require a valid e164 number
 http://www.answers.com/topic/e-164).
 So I can send a call to my openmoko number, using a CLI set to +10 followed
 by 13 arbitrary numbers, which should satisfy the e164 requirement .
 No real phone numbers start with +10 , so I could program my openmoko to
 reject any calls arriving with a CLI starting with +10, and to process the
 next 13 numbers of the CLI as a message, hiding this call from the missed
 calls list.
 As far as I know there is no networks charge for a rejected call from a
 mobile, and initiating a call from the openmoko to a number that always
 returns a 'busy' would also be free of charge.
 This gives us a free up/down communication channel that can take a payload
 of 13 numbers in each packet.

 This could be used for:
 * Push email notification.
 * Presence. Like the 'online' indicator in a chat app that shows your
 status. This is the next big area carriers are looking to charge us for,
 with their new IM platforms. It can also be used in the routing logic of
 your own SIP proxy/PBX, for instance: Forward calls to mobile unless GSM
 presence is 'meeting' in that case send calling number by SMS, if SMS
 presence is 'available', and forward calls to secretary.
 * Ultra Short Message Service (SMSes that use a phrase-book on both sender
 and receiver, so you send the number that identifies a pre-formatted
 message i.e.: 112='Please call home when you're free').
 * Trigger predefined macros (shell scripts) on the phone, like Send GPS
 coords by SMS.
 * Sync applications, like 'mark meeting14 as postponed', or New updates
 available, do you want to sync now?
 etc

 Unless our list lawyers shoot this idea down from the start, we could start
 thinking about the best way to define a missed-call protocol.
 I'm thinking of using 4 of the numbers as a identifying pincode, then a 3
 digit action identifier, and use the next 6 digits as payload depending on
 what action was selected .
 For instance update our presence info from the Openmoko to a server:
  Call server: +122334455
  send CLI +101234999100100
 That is:
 +1=   Required valid international code
 0 =   protocol identifier that never occurs in real calls.
 1234= pincode to identify the caller, and assign access rights. (Many
 different servers could send MCP (missed call protocol) messages to the
 same phone, a bit like the bluetooth pincode/identifier)
 999   =   matches 'update presence information'
 1 =   GSM available.
 0 =   GPRS offline
 0 =   Bluetooth offline
 1 =   SMS available
 0 =   reserved
 0 =   reserved.

 What do you think?

If this works I vote for it (for as long as it will work ...)  However 
receiving SMS is also free no ? couldn't you use that ?

 minuscule compared to the possible damages from pirated data and/or lost
 bulk contracts from their point of view. And to reiterate a personal
 opinion about commercial software on OM - please do not change or put a
 minute of effort in OpenMoko to make commercial software run easier than
 any other software (unless you get a substantial donation :) - if a company
 is to make some money on OpenMoko users, let it at least pay it's own costs

Re: tomtom on the Neo1973

2007-04-02 Thread wim delvaux

 Seems to confirm parent's interpretation. The code is closed, and 'free'
 only in so far as Nokia are allowing a no-cost download of the beta
 version. Navigation is a paid-for upgrade. The license agreement prevents
 redistribution of the data files, and prevents reverse-engineering of the
 data files as far as local law allows. Nokia, like Google, have paid for a
 license and are absorbing the cost, presumably to make money off a related
 sevice, but neither are allowed to let you use the data for anything else.

Well if you find some company willing to give away the maps and the routing 
application for free ... Hard luck.

I would settle for a working modern yet non-free applicationn than a not 
working, poorly detailed yet free version.

Also I 'think' smart2go would be providing a linux version.

Also AFAIK nor tomtom nor smart2go use their own charts.  They buy them too.  
What if somebody writes a free application that works but with charts that 
cost money ?

Re: Size and weight considerations for future Openmoko devices

2007-05-03 Thread wim delvaux
FWIW,

most of these 'light' phones do seem so 'fragile'.  It looks like any drop 
from pocket or table might smash them to bits.  Less weight generally means 
more flimsy devices.

I have had the NEO in my hands and although the numbers may make if sound like 
it is chunky it is not AND when held gives you the feeling that it is rather 
drop-safe.

Personally I prefer 'robustness' over 'light weight'.  (Hell, I still run

but I lost track of how many times it dropped on the floor)

Anti theft protection of our cherished device.

2007-06-30 Thread wim delvaux
Hi sean and other OpenMoko-ers

Just read an article on Slashdot (?) about the fact that lots of
of our precious gadgets get stolen (or lost).

Not being a hardware guy, I was wondering if one could build/integrate/stick 
to them some kind of 'anti-proximity' detector.

This is a device that consists of a a central - costly ? - pockettable 
detector (that probes for a set of devices within a  know list every now and 
then) and which you put in your pocket, or wallet or on your keychain.

Around that device a 'cloud' of periferals exists (Neo, wallet, Phone, 
Laptop, ...) each tagged with a cheap ID which gets probed by the central.

If any of the periferals fall out of range, the central beeps warning me - the 
owner of these nice periferals - that I am loosing one.

I do not know if this idea is at all feasible (battery consumption, size, ...) 
or perhaps it even exists, but I wanted to float this idea.

Suggestions comments welcome

At the risk of being flamed : State of software

2007-08-24 Thread wim delvaux
HI all,

Champion of open source and user of familiar on Ipaq when time was new, i 
wonder if it was such a good idea to rewrite from scratch an entire GUI 
system.

Knowing that the device is now about 6 months late and looking at the overall 
stability and completeness of the GUI (List of issues is still long perhaps 
too long ?) I wonder if it would not have been a better solution to put 
things like QTopia on the phone. I mean, how long will it still take to get 
things to this level 
(http://trolltech.com/products/qtopia/learnmore/screenshots4/?searchterm=screenshots)
 ?

Perhaps with a different style or something but at least QTopia has been 
around for quite a few years, sporting a nice portfolio of apps, having a 
nice ,portable and powerfull GUI library.

I know that the software is not fully GPL and FREE but what REALLY is Fully 
free ? AFAIK you can mess around with qtopia ad lib (hey, look at opie's 
fork), sources are available, support is great (KDE ...) and for FIC's sake, 
they can focus there entire resource of a great phone.

For me, the free community does not need (really) a new GUI library.  It needs 
a good phone ! Our interest lies in having a nicely featured device available 
so that we hackers can release our creativity and write apps that users like 
and not - yet again - re-invent the wheel to start all over again.  And for 
what ? For a theme ? For true GPL ? ...

So what about porting QTopia to the NEO as backup scenario ? I.e. how much 
more delays can we afford ?

 The primary aim of the OpenMoko project and the Neo1973 is to create a
 software platform and a device that are entirely Free in the spirit of
 the Free Software movement. See
 http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html for a definition of this. I
 don't think we need just another phone, we need one that embraces the
 ideals of the Free Software movement. This way we will be creating
 something truly unique and valuable.

But wat IS free ? Personally the 'free' as defined by Trolltech : free for 
free soft, payed for soft that will be sold, sounds more 'reasonable' then 
free and you cannot make money out of your application.  For me freedom means 
I have the possibility to do what I want with it providing I do not harm the 
rights of others.  I think the freedom of QTopia (compare it to KDE) is good 
enough.  It gives me lots of freedom and If I make a buck out of what I do 
with their work I need to pay them a buck too ...

Lazy loading is too ... (the problem with delay is that ALL symbols need

 The interface is VGA and so there's a lot more to draw and this makes
 the GUI less responsive than QVGA. The acceleration in the next gen
 hardware will solve this.

 The Palm PDAs were using task switching, it wasn't a full

 always lag behind a very simple OS.

 It would work, but the rate of sales tax is fairly high in Germany. Under
 EU rules, Europeans can buy stuff from anywhere in the EU, and pay the
 sales tax rate prevalent in the country where the shop operates instead of
 the rate in their home country.

 If FIC setup a web shop in a European country with a low sales tax rate
 such as Belgum, Europeans buying Freerunner phones could save around 10%
 compared with buying from a German web shop.

 Having said that, it is not a huge cost, and having a web shop any where in
 Europe is a great improvement over importing from the Far East.

   The whole point of Open Source is the freedom (and fun) to participate.

 That's why I am opposed to running TomTom software on the Freerunner.
 I know their software, and I know their maps, but closed source and
 closed data will not help us forward...

Sorry FREEdom is choice.  If I want to pay TomTom for the quality of their 
maps I want to be free to do so.

So chosing closed stuff is choice of the beholder.

Hence I think you should not oppose but rather NOT choose to install TomTom.  
However if your opposition to bring it onto the freerunner limits my choice I 
think you are wrong.

   you can set the desidred speed/size/ratio..
  
   again, i have no idea if it's possible, just 2 thoughts from my side..
 
  yes. that's possible. of course your 100mb movie file becomes about 1-2gb
  now :) maybe more...
 
  in theory u should manage [EMAIL PROTECTED] (24fps is movie framerate in the
  cinemas). as u have almost no decode (though you have to read it from
  some IO
  souce). so u need an IO source that can stream 7mb/sec to you (good luck
  finding that!) but *IF* u did... a 2 hour movie would be about 46gb of
  data...
  good luck finding that storage too! :)
 
  in other words... not practical to have it unencoded to avoid decoding.
 
  i used a 2hr movie just as an example so you know just how much video
  compression gets you... it saves an AMAZING amount of space. the numbers
  for
  pure video source (that is zero quality loss original RGB data) is double
  that
  for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (92gb)...
 
  in the end beyond a hey my phone is so cool i play high-res video demos
  of 30
  second clips (that woul still be enormous and u wouldnt be able to store
  more
  than 1 or 2 anyway - but as a demo to show off its enough), it is just
  not useful or practical.
 
  yes - we can go for simpler compression schmes that still require decode,
  but
  just less effort and eerything just adjusts. we spend less decode time,
  but
  require more IO bandwidth and vice-versa. once decoded u have a tradeoff
  of
  resolution vs frames per second as the pipe u have to send it down is
  fixed in
  size. you choose your favorite tradeoff, but somewhere there you will
  need to
  make one.

Upgrading 1973 to Freerunner

2008-04-28 Thread wim . delvaux
In view of 'many' 1973's becoming obsolete and probably 'ridden' with 
unfixable problems, would it be 'thinkable' to replace the
internals of the device with a FreeRunner Motherboard ?

I heard that the most costly part of a device it the screen, and that the 
screen IFAIK is the same for both systems, an upgrade would be 
cost-effective.

Is this at all thinkable ?

Euh, I thought that is it because the glamo and the SD are on the same 'bus'

 I am new here. Do I understand this correct - it will be possible to
 write programs on the phone for the phone? Or will I need to write and

 One thing I liked about my Palm PDA was OnBoardC - I had my first
 program running, written on the PDA, a week after I got it. But Palm
 also had some very fine documentation, and OnBoardC had a programming
 Cookbook, so it was easy to get started.

 I have not been able to find the same level of documentation (yet?) to
 OM. I have downloaded the toolchain, and I more or less know how to use
 it, thanks to a wiki page (wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain).

 But..

  It would probably take about two hours if you were jumping into the
  framework from scratch. So just do it.

 Do you have a link to a good starting point?  :-)

AFAIK, the OM system is a FULL linux system allowing support for ANY 
programming tool available on linux Providing there is a arm version of the 
tool floating around.

In fact, because of cross compilers, it is possible to write software on the 
phone but not for the phone (e.g even for WinCE might be feasible)

 You're kidding, right?
 EDGE maxes out at about 470 kbps - if you get a full channel (8 timeslots)
 for yourself.
 In most GSM networks one of the timeslots is reserved for signalling (BCCH)
 so 7 staying (~420 kbps).
 Even this is only true if you get coding scheme 9. But then you'd have to
 have a device that supports EDGE at this rates.
 Most devices only support up to ~250 kbps (mostly less). Under real life
 conditions you'll get about 120 to 200 kbps as best rates.
 In germany DSL starts at 384 kbps if the landline is very long. The slowest
 available option normally is 1000 kbps. The average should be between 3000
 and 6000 kbps. 16000 kbps are available in most areas. Max is at 25000 or
 5 in some cities.
 There are other countries like sweden where much higher rates are common.

Well entry level ADSL here in belgium are 250 Kbits.
Also UMTS claimed 2Mbits are never acchieved except perhaps in densly 
populated area

  Hi!
  I was wondering - why are we not using forum for community?
  It's much  better to view, you can subscribe and unsubscribe to the

  For me, mailing list is much better to view, filter, read off-line,
  quick download etc. etc. For admins, mailing list is much easier to
  maintain (no buggy, crappy phpBB, etc.).

 I wouldn't say mailing lists are entirely bug free - witness the
 duplicate messages I regularly delete out of my openmoko folder on a
 regular basis.

 for me some advantages of forums:

 - far easier to set up and use, no filters and etc.

Supposing that you read other mail using thunderbird your mail is always 
running.  So Instead of firing up FF, clicking on a bookmark, selecting the 
forum and waiting all the time while pages load, look at your running mail 
and see if messages of OM have arrived.  'easier to use ' what could be 
easier ?

 - far less distracting, with no emails coming in every 5 secs for every
 topic.

I have set up a rule automatically moves the OM messages to a folder I read 
when I have time.  Setting up that rule takes less time than registering on a 
forum

 - don't have to download 1 million emails onto all my machines that I
 use thunderbird on.

Leave your messages on the server for all thunderbirds that are NOT master so 
you only download the messages you want to read.


 +1 for forums from me.

 or, why not usenet??   what's wrong with newsgroups?  I don't understand
 why people prefer mailing lists to newsgroups.

Because mailing lists do not require you to check for new news from time to 
time but you get messages as they become available.

Because mails are much easier to process than web pages are. (bloated with 
stuff as they frequently are).

Because you have fewer steps needed to access messages.  Forums generally 
require you to select at least the forum you want to open).

 But I still don't understand why groups choose mailing lists over
 newsgroups.  Weren't newsgroups designed with this kind of thing in
 mind?   By default you just download the headers without having to get
 the text of every message, you can subscribe and unsubscribe from them
 without impacting your regular email account.  I know you can just get
 email headers if you want, but that means I have to set my regular email
 account up all 'header only' or all downloading everything.

True, newsgroups are VERY similar to mail.  I use them too for other stuff.  
However I use news for groups I follow very unregularly (from time to time).  
Forums I use only when there are problems I need to solve and I am looking 
hard for solutions, mail I use for groups I want to follow very closely (and 
even participate in replying to issues such as this :).

State of OM/Freerunner

2009-02-03 Thread wim . delvaux
Hi all,

I have been 'following' - admittingly - from a distance the dicussions on this 
list.

As till now i have not found a CLEAR (!) overview over the current state of 
the freerunner and its software stack(s).  In fact scanning through 
the 'issues' on the list it looks as if things are not really workable at 
all.  However knowing lists and the things ppl. try with the device, this 
view might be overly negative.

What I would like to see or be pointed to is a web page or YouTube movie or 
what not that shows what WORKS and with WHICH environment (OM, QT, 
Android, ... ).

We are looking for a device that could be used in a professional context. I.e. 
the device would be preconfigured for its purpose and no 'regular' end user 
would need to 'configure' anything.

So could somebody point me to a place I could read that is CURRENT and allows 
me to get a good (non-kernel, non-hardware, ...) overview over how usefull FR 
is could be in the above situation.

Thanx

 connect the usb to your pc, press and hold aux and then press the power

  well, I don't know, but reverting to that kernel+rootf fixed the

  But now the whole missed-call comes flying back to me: whenever I
  answer a call, the second after I pressed answer, a new call
  notification pops up saying I have the same incoming call.
  Seems like a timing issue to me ... propably something in
  qmodemcallprovider.cpp that should be redefined in vendor_neo.cpp

 ok, for those curious: I've put online a AT-listing of a missed call:
 http://users.telenet.be/liedekef/missedcall.txt

 The scenario is this: call the device from another line, answer the
 call and watch a notification for a second call arrive (sometimes).
 The AT commands in the text file are of course the results of both
 calls, so it can be a bit confusing. Although the AT-call ATA should
 give you a hint that the device in the end thinks there is only one
 active call (otherwise it would be AT+CHLD=2).

 I think the cause of the problems lies in the function
Hi all,

 void QModemCallProvider::clccIncoming()
 in the file src/libraries/qtopiaphonemodem/qmodemcallprovider.cpp

 Specifically this part seems to be the culprit:

 if ( callType.isEmpty() ) {
 // We could not determine the call type, so the incoming call
 // has probably disappeared.  Flag it as a missed voice call.
 d-incomingCallType = Voice;  // No tr
 announceCall();
 d-missedTimer-stop();
 missedTimeout();
 } else {

 This part makes sure that for a call that can't be identified, the call
 gets announced and then flagged as being missed, exactly what I see in
 the logfile.
 Now I don't get this: why flag an dissapeared call of unknown type as
 voice and missed call?
 From what I can see, this code should be:

 if ( callType.isEmpty() ) {
 // We could not determine the call type, so the incoming call
 // has probably disappeared. Ignore it.
 stopRingTimers();
 } else {

 Any comments on this?
 Ok, the fact that the modem sends an extra RING after the call is
 accepted is probably because it's a bit slow sometimes (or the RING
 arrives a bit too slow).

GTA01 - qtextendedimproved -kernel image

2009-04-24 Thread wim . delvaux
Hi all,

I want to update my NEO1973 (GTA01v4) to the newest available version of 
qtembeddedimproved and some kernel.

Since the WIKI generally speaks about the freerunner, stating exceptions for 
GTA01 that turn out to refer to the freerunner, confuses me.

So I downloaded the following files :

qt-extended-4.4.3-rootfs.jffs2
testing-om-gta02-20090120.uImage.bin

Now my devices hangs while stating 'starting kernel'.

So I presume the testing-om-gta01... is not a proper kernel image.  

QUESTION : which is the latest compatible GTA01 kernel  and where can I find 
it ?

Thx

Did you find info about :

1. where to find the proper kernel sources + patches
2. config settings to be applied
3. how to createg a root jffs ?

For QtExtended I did find info but I think the problem is not there
