Can you give me an estimate of how much and how long it would take to send
a fixed freerunner from your place to Portugal?

I want to know the total cost before deciding wether to order it from you...

Have any effords been done to prepare a bass-fix?
Can you guess a date where and if you will offer it?
When it will be offered I would prefer to let both be fixed.

I did a few tests with #1024-fixed A6 (bouncing before) with 2 batteries
(one-year-old-one, new-one) and in both cases I was able to get about 100hours
of standby (just waking it up from time to time, GSM on, everything else
hopefully off; shr-u).

What I have to mention though is that sometimes my fr wakes up autonomously
(and goes to suspend after a while of inactivity) (I suppose this can be due
to some GSM events - but not on a 'normal' cell roam).. so while I didn't see
the phone to wake up during tests it might have happened.

Still, 4 days is a very good improvement :)

No. You have to open a different tin can. You have to cut and solder  
different cables. The test procedure is different.

We want to make sure that every fix we offer really works, is  
reproducible and has high quality. Therfore, it is not "just" doing  
the same thing again.

The common work is of course the logistics which is done only once.

Nobody is required to ask for the reworks at all...

We are a community. Therfore, you are free (and I hope open) to come

But having bass rework the same time as the 1024 fix, its a huge
benefit and also
more attractive service.

I for example will never send my phone for just to the #1024 fix,
because I plan
to in a way or another apply the bass fix.
So no point to sending you to do the half of the job. (the easier half actually)

Frankly, when you dismounted the phone, and you have the necessary
tools in your hand, than applying
the bass rework in plus, is a negligible price

During first live tests this week, qtmoko managed to last two full days
(plus nights) of quite a bit of calls and messaging with occasional
checking of status, gprs connection andgps. Previously, one day of use
would drain the battery so this is an improvement. As the testing is
subjective to usage, we will see in the near future what the real stand
by time might be.

Re: #1024-rework service available

2009-10-23 Thread Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller
Hi all,
here some answers to recent questions:

Q: Rework service for USA, Canada, Australia?
A: unfortunately handling import/re-export is too much paperwork and  
if anything goes wrong, someone might have to pay taxes again. And,  
shipment is either very slow or much more expensive than within EU.  
This would make it cheaper to buy a new one...
You could ask SDG Systems since they also had organized the Buzz- 
Rework in Canada, i.e. they have a company capable of doing it.

Q: Bass-Rework?
A: we currently have no plans because it is again a different work  
which has to be evaluated, tested, prepared for the public. And demand  
appears to be lower.

Q: how much does it improve?
A: here is a report of 143 hours standby time:
http://totalueberwachung.de/blog/2009/06/03/freerunner-deep-sleep-standby-time

Q: when does GTA02-core or GTA03 come fixing all these issues?
A: we don't know either

In optimal conditions, it's going to double your standby time from ~70h
to ~140h.

Hi,

thanks for offering this service! (although too bad I already sent my
device once to Germany)
can you give us an indication on how much this would improve batterylife?

I'm assuming it only extends standby-time.

I once saw a graph that indicated that it was a huge boost, but can't
find it anymore

Hi. I'm in Melbourne too.

Needing to buzz fix an A6 I asked a few electronics engineers. I was looking 
for somebody who would do delicate soldering work for an hourly rate. The 
consensus from people I spoke to was that while there are a few small 
businesses who do electronic work, few would be interested in small jobs.

A co-worker of mine offered to do the buzz fix for me. This person tends to 
over rate his ability. I should have remembered this when I agreed for him to 
do the work. I plan to tool up and redo the soldering on that phone in the next 
couple of weeks.

The problem with little jobs like this is liability. If he stuffs up, who takes 
responsibility? On small jobs it is impossible to get insurance.

So I am going to do a buzz fix soon. The #1024 fix seems more complicated 
because you have to disassemble parts of the phone which may be hard to put 
back together. I might try this procedure on the phone which I am going to do 
the buzz fix on. I can more afford to stuff that one up.

I will post the results here:

I think the command AT%SLEEP=4 enables the deep sleep of the modem.

No, we offer it as long as there is demand. Well, nobody knows what we  
can provide in 10 or 20 years :) And if we extrapolate technology  
innovation you probably won't be interested then...

Do you need to enable deep sleep mode before doing the test? Also is this a

#1024-rework service available

2009-10-21 Thread Dr . H . Nikolaus Schaller
Hi all,

some users of Neo Freerunner devices have experienced a limited  
standby time if the GSM modem goes to the deepest sleep mode. This  
became known as the #1024 bug, because that was the number it got in  
the bug tracker (https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1024). The  
software workaround was to disable sleep mode 4 as the default.  
Although there is a description of a hardware rework solution 
(http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/hardware/2009-May/001192.html 
) we do not expect that you can do it yourself. Therefore, we have  
worked on a professional approach.

With the help of a local SMD specialist company in Munich, Golden  
Delicious Computers can now offer a rework service to those who really  
suffer from this problem. Price is 45 EUR (incl. German VAT of 19%).  
If you combine with the Buzz-Rework (for A5 and A6 versions only) it  
is 75 EUR. And there is a rebate for groups of 5 or 10 units.

Conditions

• This service is for the EU harmonized market only (sorry for Norway  
& Switzerland)
• Customer will send in, get rework and get the device sent back  
within approx. two weeks
• The 2 way shipping cost will be covered by the customer.
• When choosing a parcel service, please choose one that allows you  
to track your parcel since we are not responsible for incoming  
parcels. For German customers we recommend Hermes-Versand and for UK  
Royal Mail.
• Please pack carefully, but just the Neo Freerunner (without  
battery, battery cover, headset, pouch, stylus, SIM card, SDcard  
etc.). We are not responsible for lost accessories - only for the  
device. We strongly recommend to use the original black box.
• In the rare case that we damage your device, you will get a fresh  
Neo Freerunner (but your data is lost).
• If you have several Freerunners to rework, please add as many  
Reworks as you want to the shopping cart. This will reduce shipment  
cost compared to several single shipments. And, we offer a volume  
discount to encourage group buys (5: 5%; 10: 10%; 50: 15%). Rebates  
are automatically shown in the shopping cart.

Important notes

• After payment is done, please follow the Rework Instructions 
(http://www.handheld-linux.com/images/Instructions.pdf 
)
• Please note that we can handle this service only for customers in  
the EU harmonized market because temporary import/export is too  
complicated if we want to avoid that you (or we) have to pay again the  
import tax for your original Freerunner.
