 Just to let everybody know: Andrew (radagast) found the issue at hand,
 and it's a oneliner fix (something about not needing to use a
 monotonic clock) . See
 http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/11

 I now have a qtextended 4.4.3 installation with the following extra:
 - working wifi (even after suspend/unsuspend)
 - alarms on time (for alarms app, but probably also for calender
  alarms)
 - mp3 support (albeit laggy if the touchscreen is used)
 - qterminal (I don't use it, but hey ...)

 Now the following issues remain:
 - better keyboard (for me, but that's not a real issue). I've already
  tweaked the settings a bit to get something better, see
  http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/10
 - voice notes app not recording (seems to be an alsa-state thing)
 - voicemail service number not saved across reboots
 - 2.6.28 compatibility, for better battery usage and maybe some other
  fixes (please, somebody please tell me why 2.6.28 is better for the
  neo)

 I'm hoping to have a crack at the voicemail number problem, but see
 http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/15

 If anybody is interested in my qtextended image, I can put a tar.gz
 file online if wanted ...

I'd be interested.  Alarm during suspend has been an issue for me.
I've been meaning to investigate it, but I suppose I was hoping
someone else would do it first.  So I'm very grateful to Mr Howlett
;-)

Thanks,
Nick

Re: Charging a Neo battery in a Nokia charger or phone (was: Re: dead battery)

 Exactly right. My understanding is this:

 Nokia devices (phones and stand-alone chargers) will not charge
 non-Nokia batteries, most likely because they can't be sure they have
 the correct charging parameters.

 Most after-market or no-name brands of Nokia-compatible chargers don't
 test the make of the battery, most likely because adding the capability
 to perform this test would add to the cost of the charger.

 Thus:

 * You can use a Nokia or Nokia-compatible BL-4C, BL-5C, or BL-6C in the Neo

 * You can charge the Neo battery in a Nokia-compatible charger that is
 not Nokia branded

 * You can NOT charge the Neo battery in a Nokia branded phone or charger

Thanks for this helpfully complete characterization.
Do you happen to know if a Nokia battery (such as the BL-5c) will
charge in the FreeRunner?

Thanks,
Nick

Hello,
I intend to buy a FreeRunner.  This will be my first time owning a
cell phone, though.
My service plan is offered through my university by Cincinnati Bell
Wireless, and includes a free phone.  Can I expect that removing the
SIM card from the free phone and placing it in the FreeRunner will
work?  (IE, allow calls and SMS.  I'd do any data over wifi.)

Thanks,
Nick
