Even I have faced this issue. Actually 2 times just today. Over the
week it has happened quite a few times. The only pattern that I can
see if this issue is more prominent if I manually suspend the phone.
(i.e. short-press the power button).

A bit of detail on my issue:
When I try to resume, (sometimes) the display is shown properly, but
the touch screen is still turned-off I guess. I can see everything on
the phone, if I get calls, I can see them, but can't answer. Even the
hardware keys work fine (the AUX button brings up the Task Manager)
but I can't touch anything.

Hi, Thank you so much for this release. I tested SMS a couple of times
and was able to receive all of them! Thanks!
My notes:
* Tried the GoogleContactSync from the feeds and it works great.
* Wifi - was able to connect to my Wifi router and browse using arora browser
* Call volume is OK for me.

The first few boots were no problem, today I rebooted my phone again,
but was not able to get the GSM to register. Previously the
registration happened with one or two QtExtended restarts. I have
tried more than 10 times now without any luck :(
Any ideas where to start looking?

Thanks for the release. I only got time to test it today. Basic

Tested basic functionalities. SMS, Calls works fine.Yes can be used as
a daily phone.

Bluetooth is present. I didn't have another phone with bluetooth atm,
so don't know if that would work, but atleast the options show up ;)

Some issues though:

* On first boot, when i pressed the dialer button on the homescreen,
QtMoko crashed and went blank with only a cursor blinking at the
top-left corner. I was hoping for it to do a restart of QtMoko, but
even after a few minutes it didn't respond so i had to remove the
battery. On next boot this didn't occur.
  Next time maybe i'll get time to catch some logs.

* Tango GPS opened fine, (I couldn't test the GPS as i know i'll not
get a fix inside the building, i'll test it later in the day) but
after closing there is a cursor on the bottom-left corner of the
QtMoko, but that is just a aesthetic requirement.


Thank you Radek, a great amount of work has gone into making this
build. I must say it's been shaping out nicely!
Personally Qtmoko is an awesome distribution and that's what i use as
daily phone.. with support for TangoGPS, it'll give rise to a whole
new level of (healthy) competition to the other distros!
Great work keep it up!!

Well I'm just falling in love with my freerunner. Me and some of my

Freerunner. I used accelerometer for the navigation, so you turn the
FR like a driving wheel and the robot obeys you.

And all I had to do in the FR was a python program to read the
accelerometers and send appropriate data to a microcontroller over the
USB (which was connected to a wireless transmitter).

It was awesome fun! I'll see if I can post a video of it some where.

Background amplification and voice blur on phone call

2009-07-08 Thread Shashank Bharadwaj
Hi list,

I created a new topic cause I think this question is slightly
different from the one being discussed in the "Rustling noise on
phonecalls" thread. Well I just installed OM2009 (and updated via opkg
update && opkg upgrade) and then tested on paroli on a call. Weird
thing happened. The background sounds (like of the traffic, keyboard
strokes or somebody else far off talking) are highly amplified. But my
own voice is highly marred with noise. My voice sounds like it's being
mixed by a dj to produce a kind of recursive-echo effect!

Then I tried with the latest QtMoko Images. (QtMoko v3 based on FSO
from http://dashi-x02.karadog.net/~lihouyu/qtmoko/snapbuild/20090707/
). It had the same issue too.

Then I tried wiki, [1] says:
wget 
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/2121/gsmhandset.state.new
-O /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state
should help. I tried. It didn't.

Any ideas?

I used the "update" option. It worked as expected. After the script
was complete, and a reboot done, i was with the latest version.
Thanks for this release!

I tried qmplayer, it played mp3 songs from my computer using the share
option. But it refused to play an avi file of a music video on the
phone, though it could play it on the computer. How do i debug this
and provide you with more information?

Another new applications i tried was google contacts sync. I was
successfully able to get contacts from my google account. Is there a
way to upload the contacts on the phone back to google-contacts?

I've been trying the new applications out, will report back if any
quires/comments. Keep up the good work!

i don't think they are really suspending the neo. i think it's just
the switching off of the touchscreen driver and the lcd. so it drains
a LOT of battery. My FR just lasted for 8 hours (as opposed to 24-28
on QtE-I).

Also, my calls were repeatedly dropped. So if i called somebody, i
could talk to them for 1 min or so, and the call would get cut
automatically. This happened to me some 3 times before i booted into
QtE-I to make the call. Anyone else experienced the same? How should i
help debug this?

I was just wondering. If we can in the landscape mode, make use of the
extra space.
i.e.: take [1] and make it look more like [2]. I created [2] using GIMP. But

if somehow we can do that resizing then that would speed up writing a lot!

I just tried it out. Had to do:

wget http://www.opkg.org/packages/illume-default-alt_0.1_arm.ipk
opkg install illume-default-alt_0.1_arm.ipk
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart

to get it working.

It works great. Thanks.

I think, the current Raster's Keyboard great for potrait mode. For landscape
mode(i.e holding neo sideways) however, the keyboard does not utilize the
extra space. What we need is, imho, a keyboard that would increase in size
to take up the extra space in this landscape mode. That way we'll be able to
type even faster. If we could add that fuctionality to raster's keyboard,
then it'd be just great.

Just my INR 0.02.

[GTA02] Unable to direct sound to speakers

2008-09-28 Thread Shashank Bharadwaj
Hi All,

This is my first mail on the list. I'd like to say the first 2-3 weeks with
my FreeRunner has been an awesome experience!!!

So this is my problem. In the first week that I got my FR, i had OM2007.2 (I
guess it's the default) and Debian on the SD card. I was able to
make/receive calls on debian and was happy. I could also hear the calls from
the *tring-tring* sound of the speakers.During this time, I never played any
sound files though.

Later, I installed FDOM, and debian was still on the SD card. Now I only
have OM2008.9 (SD card currently free). At some point, the speakers stopped
working. I was not able to hear when I get calls, not able to route the
calls to loud-speaker, unable to hear songs on speaker. The head phone works
fine though.

I can still receive/make calls, but I can only use the vibrate option. FR
does not ring. When inserting the headphone jack when a song was playing, I
used to hear some sound out of the loud-speaker for a brief movement. (say
100ms) but then it was gone. This happenened a few times and now this has
also stopped.

I've tried with the alsa-mixer settings. Even when the speaker volume is at
100, I'm not hearing any sound.

I'm guessing it must be a hardware issue. Any ideas?
