Re: [Shr-User] Quick e-mail poll: Still using your Freerunner?

2010-02-11 Thread Warren Baird
I haven't turned my FR on since I got a nokia n900 a few weeks back.  It has
all of the things that appeal to me about the FR - I can 'apt-get install'
the software I want, I can ssh into it, etc. *BUT* it's better in so many
ways.   The UI is so much more responsive, the phone is so much more
reliable.  I can confidently make and receive calls!   It has fantastic
built-in email and IM apps, and I can run pidgin for IRC.   Evince works
great, and the wide screen display is gorgeous for reading e-books.  It very
reliably connects to wifi...  It does a great job of playing SD TV episode
video.  I could go on for a while longer...

About the only real negative I've noticed is that the battery life isn't
great - I get maybe 12-14 hours on a charge --- it doesn't seem to be
suspending at all in the sense that the FR does - I think it just blanks the
screen and maybe slows the processor down...

Oh, and the equivilent app to 'openmoocow' isn't quite as nice - which is
almost a deal-breaker for my 2.5 year old daughter - she definitely prefers
the FR.

I tried android, qtmoko & shr.

I bought an iphone before the freerunner and I have chosen to stick to the 
iphone until android gets better. There are a number of qualities which are _a 
must_ for me:
 * good keyboard with i18n support;
 * perfectly working phone app;
 * perfectly working contact app;
 * perfectly working SMS app;

On both shr and qtmoko I can not use the keyboard. If I'm going from touching 
the screen (iphone) to using a pen to tap on the screen (shr), the keyboard 
_must_ kick ass. Currently the shr kb is geekish and while I find it 
interesting, I'm not often in the mood for it. On qtmoko I have something like 
three kb-s (mmm ...). I'm not even going to talk about i18n support.

Then comes the way the phone behaves when I'm receiving a call. I totally hate 
it when the ring tone (that 1964 ring bell) stutters. There are so many hints 
you can give to the Linux kernel in order to keep an app "tight" (ie. have all 
its resources close and ready to use), I just don't get why this _still_ 
happens in 2010.

The last thing is related to the buttons used to send shr/qtmoko into standby 
and back. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, sometimes I need a 
crystal ball.

Android is the only distro which is extremely close to what I need (and very 
close to what iphone offers). It's just a bit too slow at the moment (I have 
not tested the latest release, with the no-debug kernel).

I'm afraid I do not share your views on what should be free and what not. I'm 
satisfied with what Apple offers me right now (though I'm looking forward to 
buying a Nexus One too). I used to do embedded programming back in the 
Symbian-boom days and now I realize I kind of lost my patience with phones.

I find the Flow G1.5 from http://www.gizmoforyou.net quite an
interesting dev-kit. Wish I had 520 Euro spare to play with. Also the
Daughter VX 1.0 and the PXA Gaming Platform look almost as fun. Again,
if I had some spare cash, I'd have both of these as well.

I do have a GP2X, which was the forerunner of Pandora. It's not
vaporware, despite appearances.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough money to play with all these emerging
embedded toys and test gravity regularly, and I'd prefer to test
gravity. I get less abuse from the wife testing gravity than playing
with code.

yes. i know. :) if its the sdl stuff for webos - then thats doable as its "in
the future" a supported mechanism for pre's. if its the fso reverse engineering
and making modem etc. work - then thats an anti-vendor port .. and will be of
limited value in the long run. as the vendor will never help you - if anyting
they will actively thwart you over time. vendors need to support such work and
consider at a minimum of adopting it in future for it to be viable.

There are a couple of GUI mixers for FSO-based distros. Both are mentioned in 
the wiki now. fso-simplemixer may need a small edit to work with recent fso 
versions though.

The software change is a proper fix, not a workaround, and the capacitor is 
unnecessary even with rootfs on SD. If you read that thread in full you will 
see that the fix was to properly use the chipset's SD drive strength control 
rather than just set it to maximum.

In a nutshell, electrical noise from the SD card slot interfered with 
the GPS.  Your choices were either to remove the SD card or solder in a 
tiny little capacitor between two of its pins.  I also understand that 
there's a software work-around which turns the SD card off when it's not

It depends what you mean by 'working'. If you mean a clean GUI-only experience 
then no. If you can accept editing a few files, and restarting a service when 
you want to go between headset and handset, shr can do it, or could last time

Step 1: Try turning it on and plugging in the wall charger - to find
out if it is working well enough to get charged up.  (In the early
days, there were serious problems if the battery became completely
empty...)

Step 2: Once fully charged, follow the instructions for flashing and
trying out SHR-Testing.

If your speaker really is broken, your Freerunner will probably not be
much use as a phone unless you use hands-free with it. I suggest you
install the latest software so you can be sure it's not a software
problem. If it isn't you'll either have to get the speaker repaired or
live without sound.

SHR is currently the most popular distribution on the Freerunner. The
latest version ships with decent volume defaults and call volume can be
changed during calls. If you want more control, then currently the best
idea is to run alsamixer yes, either remotely or from local terminal.

I have not heard of such a problem so if It's not exclusive to your

Currently, using the Freerunner as both a phone and a PDA I usually can
go for two days before plugging it in overnight. If I use a lot of GPS
for example, the time is shorter but it's not bad at all and suspending
works very well currently.

Well, my suggestion would be to start playing around with the latest
SHR-Unstable. You can get the filesystem image and the kernel from
http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/. Download
the full-om-gta02.jffs2 and uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin to get the
latest versions. To flash them to your Freerunner you'll need dfu-util.
It's in the repository in Ubuntu so you can just apt-get install it,
if it's not in the repo, you can download it from
http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.9/dfu-util. It
seems like an old version but I doubt that would be a problem. I
realised that you might be a Windows user, I don't know how you should
flash in that case, maybe someone else can comment. Anyway on Linux, to
make flashing more comfortable, you should also download neotool from
http://users.on.net/~antisol/neotool. Just put it somewhere and run it,
it presents a nice GUI for the flashing options. You'll have to select
the rootfs image and kernel images that you downloaded and should
select the jffs2 file and bin file respectively. Then connect your
Freerunner with USB cable and while keeping the top-left button
pressed, press the power button. You should be presented with a boot
menu. Now just start flashing from neotool. Once both images are
copied, which may take quite a while, disconnect and reboot the
Freerunner and SHR should run. I'd suggest you to keep an eye on the
mailing lists to see, when anything new and interesting appears for the
Freerunner, until then just play around with the different software in
the repos and packages all over the net. 

I realise that all this info is already probably written down somewhere
but I had enough time at the moment : ). If there are any other
questions, do ask.

Re: [Shr-User] Quick e-mail poll: Still using your Freerunner?

2010-02-06 Thread Ed Falk
I bought my Freerunner over a year ago.  On the first boot, it made a 
very loud raucus sound which, as far as I know, blew out the speaker, as 
I have never heard an undistorted sound come out of it.

I discovered that the only way to adjust the volume was to log in 
remotely and run a command-line volume control application.

I tried to develop a GPS application for it, but GPS would not work if 
there was an SD card installed.

The device drew so much power that the battery was only good for an hour 
or so, and the device grew too hot in my hand to hold.

At this point, I realized that the Freerunner was not yet ready for 
prime time.  I put it back in its box and put the box on a shelf.  The 
battery is surely dead by now.

I hope someday that the software will become mature enough for me to try 
again, but unfortunately, I just don't have the time to work on it.

So no, I'm not still using my Freerunner.

Is there a "how to" document on the wiki that might tell someone in my 
shoes how to bring the device up to date so that I can try again?

Yes, but I upgraded it long before the first time I tried GPRS. So
perhaps there were problems before that. The phone functionality
improved with the GSM firmware update - no more people complaining
they called me while nothing happened on the device.

I agree.

Me too i have especially the "low volume" problem (i'm with QtMoko). I
tried everything via mixer software, but without any success: phone
calls are always with tiny volume, in an open space or also in a car,
it's really difficult to ear the call. My phone it's a V6 release and
without any buzzfix.

Any suggestion?

I own a rev. A5 freerunner and was seriously affected by the buzz problem. 
After applying the hardware fix the audio quality improved a lot. Before the 
fix there was no chance to use the FR as a phone.

However, the audio quality was never as good as on a friends rev A7 FR 
(without buzz-fix).  I did a lot of experimenting and tweaking with all 
possible audio parameters but the volume has always been either too low or 
distorted. He just uses the default audio configs and has nearly no problems 
with sound quality.

>

It is definetly worth it if you, or better said your call partner expierences 
a rather loud buzz. The fix will remove that buzz but won't fix other issues 
like rustling, echo or low volume. Those issues can mostly be addressed with 
software.

Hope that helps,
Michael

Have you tried a different kernel? The kernel is in a separate flash, so 
upgrading the root filesystem
doesn't change the kernel, it must be installed separately. It could help - if 
it is a kernel problem.

If nothing helps, consider trying a different phone company. The problem could 
be there too.

Well, both of SHR tickets you mentioned were closed when you wrote
that mail. One of them I reopened after I read it, but due to other
reasons than mentioned in your mail (as I removed storing sent
messages and also few other already implemented things from this
ticket). Maybe, again, FUD is too strong wording, but still your point

Ok, looked at that ticket more carefully and edited it. But still, it
doesn't make your point valid ;)

And that strange GPRS issue (which is even more strange to me, because
I never had that on my FR :x) is going to be resolved soon with
ogsmd->fsogsmd transition (which is also going to give us nice
performance boost)

(But I don't think it's good to have everyone using one distro. Of
course as SHR developer I would like more users, but as free software
developer in general I think it's really important to have choice. And
to not spread FUD :P)

I'm curious, do you notice any difference between the buzz fixed one and the
other? I read that only a few phones are affected by the buzz problem but
nearly all (including the buzz fixed ones) have major problems with audio

So I wonder whether it's worth to get such a fix.

My experience is that GPRS has been stable for a long time, and WIFI
is fine _if_ the phone don't suspend. So keep it on, either by
plugging in power, or by turning suspend off in shr-settings.

There is one annoying problem if several of GPRS/USB/WIFI
is used - the last one to be used changes /etc/resolv.conf,
and if that connection quits then the remaining ones
may fail to look up names. Can be fixed by restarting 
the remaining connection.

I never tried that - but make sure the thing doesn't suspend.

SHR-unstable. I upgrade often, except that I wait when others
run into some new problem. Then I wait for resolution, which normally
don't take long.

If I change, it will be to correct various problems:
* Buzz and bass problems. Can be fixed with capacitors, but
  that won't be free and it won't help with the slowness problem.
  A BT headset will probably solve my sound issues, and can be carried
  over to future phones. But it means an extra device to bring, and another
  battery to charge. :-/
* Slowness. Of course, the new SHR-U helped. And we may still see
  improvements in X and elsewhere. Still, it seems the device
  has a slow memory bus, a slow connection to its SDcard, and
  slow graphics.  It is useable, but a really snappy phone could be
  tempting. IF it runs a user-modifiable linux, that is!

It's my only phone for over a year. I did the buzzfix and gps cap myself 
and got no complaints there.
Adjusting the call volume is a sorely missed feature, though.
But the slowness of the software does tend to screw up things when more 
than one thing happens at the same time (simultaneous incoming calls, etc.)
> Do you use FR as your primary PDA?
>   
YES.
GPS, password vault, the occasional Mokomaze.
GPRS and WIFI are too unstable for any real connection, so no web or email.
And bluetooth is just not there (no GUI == not there for the user).
Does anyone else have trouble doing opkg ugrade over gprs? mine hangs 
after a bit.
> What distribution you run most of the time?

SHR-U (currently the old one from September, which works stable enough 
as a phone.)
The new Testing is quite broken, and I couldn't understand why the new 
Unstables where older than the Testing ones. Now that I see a lot of 
people is using the Unstable, it's probably meant to be like that -- and 
just opkg upgrade all the time. Will try it today...

I haven't switched out because it is good enough as a simple working 
phone and a very basic GPS. Other than that, it is crap.
I don't blame the community for the state of things; I think that 
Openmoko.com started by biting off much more than it could chew, failed 
to build a solid community, then realized the dead end which they put 
themselves into, and backed out on all of us into "plan B". I understand 
the economics that forced OM to reboot and start over with the 
Wikireader, but I will always resent the fact that I spent 300 EUR on a 
badly designed and even worse tested hardware. I cannot forgive them for 
releasing this HW into the public without a fully patched kernel and 
drivers and a full list of known caveats after an honest effort to 
completely test the device. They somehow thought that time-to-market was 
more important than quality and reliability. Personally, I think there 
is no forgiveness for them because of this. Having said that, I am 
admired at this community that still keeps kicking the dead horse with a 
passion, and there is a small thread of hope inside my heart that this 
brick will someday fulfill at least half of its promises. And if it 
does, it will all be due to the work of these last few heroes - and I 
thank you so much.
The Openmoko project is to me a disappointment as big as the 
cancellation of SG-1 and Firefly: there was still so much to do and say, 
but economics had the last word. Well, at least there are positive 
things left behind like the FSO and the colorful ecosystem of other 
distros and apps.
Have a nice 2010 everyone!! :D

A little more stabilitiy, but i consider it as a hacking device, and

I need to switch to another phone when calling my grandmother, surely 
she doesn't hear very well any more but there still seems to be a 
audio/voice quality. I'm surprised so many people in this thread mention 
this.

No

SHR-U

No changes yet, but still use Treo 650 because of PIM and Bluetooth headset.
Once these things are stable, I think I can make the daily move.  Since my
Treo is falling apart, and since the distros are taking a long time to be
ready (I don't blame anyone), the n900 is looking attractive.  I'd rather
stay open, though.

no to both the above. but on other devices a mix of openembedded, debian,
ubuntu or "do it yourself".

1. i'd like something not crawlingly slow
2. i'd like to use the 3g data rates telcos offer here, but where their 2g data
rates are much more expensive
3. i'd like it to work when i travel (going to korea and japan for example only
3g phones will work).
4. i want a touchscreen that is large enough to be really usable (as such the
2.8" lcd is really more like 2.2 or 2.4" thanks to the bezel - for input).
5. again speed, capacity, screen, baseband, usability.
