Re: qtmoko calendar / google calendar
Correct. I have my evil work email exchange based calendar published online automatically. (A feature of Outlook 2007/2010) and then I have a cron job which automatically tries to import this and my google calendar in once an hour. Works pretty well as long as I can keep data stable. Somedays its rock solid, someday I only seem to have cellular data for 15 minutes at a time. Still working on that... -- Forwarded message -- From: mossroy mossroy.moss...@gmail.com To: community@lists.openmoko.org Date: Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:40:28 +0200 Subject: Re: qtmoko calendar / google calendar I uploaded a version 0.6 of the script on http://mossroy.free.fr/ics2qtcal/ It includes small fixes and improvements, based on the feedback of Weslay Frazier on an Office online calendar.

Re: GPRS and QTMoko
I have recently discovered if I set the GPRS connection to Only Connect When Needed and then start and stop it. THEN switch it to Always Online after a fresh reboot, that I then can enjoy days of GPRS data on end, until my next reboot. The problem is this ritual is sub optimal. Obviously the first connection is initializing something that the Always Online mode fails to. Although I do not know what it could be. -- Forwarded message -- From: Brian bn...@rochester.rr.com To: community@lists.openmoko.org Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 08:40:39 -0500 Subject: Re: GPRS and QTMoko On Wed, 9 Mar 2011 04:14:42 -0800 (PST) W.

(...) it seems to stop I got the same issue on QTMoko 0.33. A while back GPRS came up as well; came up on the list, that is. run anything in the background I tried one of the suggestions, run ping in the background as keep alive. For the last one and a half hour (or something), ping has been running happily with about 750ms for an answer; count of icmp_req is 2800 at the moment. I left an irssi session running for ~12 hours which never PTO'd. I did and still do have problems with GPRS staying connected whether using on demand or always on unless I background something. The usefulness of the connection seems to have dropped though: the first minutes NeronGPS would receive tiles relatively fast, and browsing websites mostly filled with text would be OK. At the moment, downloading four tiles for one screen of NeronGPS takes close to half a minute (increasing icmp answers to about 2 seconds). My provider (T-Mobile) has an unlimited $1.49 data day pass which slows to a crawl once it hits 30Mb of data. Does your provider do something similar? I hadn't noticed any slowdowns until hitting this limit while running irssi to keep the connection alive. Once it does slow down it stays slow until I buy another day pass. Does your connection speed ever increase again? Perhaps using mtr-tiny instead of ping might shed some light on what's happening with your GPRS connection. All of this is symptom description of course, I still have to find out whether I am able to do anything useful with the underlying code. Regards, Boudewijn This reminds me of the old days when AOL used to drop connections which usually happened in the middle of a rather large software update of course.

Re: Buzz Fix

GPRS and QTMoko
If I boot my freerunner up from a cold boot and manually start GPRS it works fine. But if I am idle too long on GPRS it seems to stop working, Aurora wont be able to connect and my email will stop checking. Regardless of whether or not it is set to On Demand or not.

Buzz Fix
I seem to have had the missofrtune of picking up an A5. My first few calls were fine but now Ive had a lot of complaints about strange background noiseses. The revision number of /proc/cpuinfo is 0350. So I think I am running an A5. Anybody know of anyone who still does the fix here in the U.S. ? I am of course willing to pay.
