Re: GSM Network Time
I am also on vodafone (Perth). I have not checked zoneinfo recently , but time is never sent. At one point Perth was in the eastern states zone for vodafone which was ... odd. I get a lot of: 2010.01.05 13:57:53.619 otimed INFO GSM: multiple zones found messages in the framework log, but not sure what they mean. If your routing is ok, the FR will try and set its time via the european server, which is pretty flaky - I use a local server and that works fine over usb and wifi - set it in frameworkd.conf. The time must be within some undefined (I cant find what it is) window before network time will set it - if its too far out it will silently fail. GSM time will work regardless. Make sure that your timezone and localtime files are ok (and not a symlink) The phone rarely drifts away from time sync, but usually a large discrepancy after a reboot/crash/remove battery.

Strangely it seems to keep the time until I re-connect via usb and ssh in, from there the time goes out. I am also in Aus (Qld) on savytel (vodafone) network. Obviously I need to investigate further. cheers Denis On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 9:54 AM, W.Kenworthy bi...@iinet.net.au wrote: Not quite - it should be if available - network time is not part of the base GSM standard but an extension which many (most?) networks done use. The zone is part of the standard, but if your provider crosses multi timezones as here in australia, you might not be able to properly use it. Beware using the default time server for network time - in europe it might be ok, but it has jitter and offset here in australia at times - set it to a local timeserver in /etc/frameworkd.conf. Time keeping has improved a lot, but I still find I connect to a network or use GPS once a day to make sure it stays on time.

The SHR GUI for reading satellites shows no entry at all even after 20 minutes outside. I think that may be related to the following problem with the interface naming extracted from frameworkd.log: [...] 2009.12.21 11:49:13.961 ogpsdWARNING (could not write to '/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron') but the file is called power_on here. Am I the only one experiencing this (I know somebody having shr-u without that problem)? Is this really the reason why I dont get a single entry in the satellite list of the shr phoneui? This is normal. Earlier kernel had pwron as node to control power to GPS and since the change ogpsd just writes to both (and will always complain about one not being there). If you install zhone (which should be possible on SHR) you can open the GPS tab and look at GPS in more detail. The chip will tell you which SVs it is currently looking for and if it is receiving data or not well before they appear in the SHR GUI. I the meanwhile I tried with zhone and it seems to search for approximately 13 different SVs without results for a lng while (around 20 minutes). Power On seems to work since zhone's GPS icon activates after turning gps on through the shr settings gui. Also no time sync or any other value is set. Use settings/position and remove AGPS data - I suspect that it installs with a AGPS data file that by default doesnt suit your location - I cant get a lock without cleaning it out after install, then its fine. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [Shr-User] Contacts phones with dashes
Yes, but - is a very common separator for phone numbers - its much easier to on the eye to split (for us in Oz its 4-4 split, -) and is often how its written/displayed. I think (dont have it to check) my treo handles it fine. There are also other characters such as , which I think means a pause in a dial string (google comma pause dial string for some other characters used - blackberry's use a number of pause characters it seems) - needed for some PBX's, voice mail systems and the like. So they should be handled by default as others do. Billk On Wed, 2009-12-02 at 08:23 +0100, David Lanzendörfer wrote: As its name says. Its a phone-_number_ - is not a digit.

Re: [OT]Making Geek's phone not so offtopic on this list ;)
I looked at the specs and its screen is listed as wqvga hybrid resistive. I presume that hybrid resistive means it can still use a stylus? Recently tried my sons ipod which you cant use a stylus with - only useful with huge buttons and a GUI designed for finger use - basicly hopeless for fine work, typing text etc, but then its designed for movies/game playing. Fairly useless for my working style. Of more concern is that its wqvga resolution - exact details are not given but wikipedia lists wqvga as any screen having the same vertical (240 pixel) resolution as qvga but wider. Having a Palm Treo650 with a 240x240 display for a few years, I can directly compare it with the FR 640x480 - going back to something as primitive and outdated as 240 pixels seems to relegate the phone to things like video playing which I have not done on the FR in over a year (i.e., you are losing a lot more functionality than you are gaining). It will be interesting to see if these are real areas of concern, or the design is better than it appears in this area. the other specs seem great.
