   The only battery state indication you have with a non-BQ27000 battery is
the voltage as measured by the charger. I don't know where that has gone in
the 2.6.28 kernels, but in 2.6.24, it was something like
/sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pcf50633/battvolt. You can try to file a feature
request with the SHR and FSO people to use it when you're not using the
standard GTA02 battery.

   That's not what it says. It says "now gps is starting automatically",
which on FSO-based distributions usually means off unless in use. You should
have a sysfs file to check:

$ cat /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/power_on  
0

(If it's not there in the kernel you're running, try to find it with the
command "find /sys -name 'neo1973-pm-gps*' -print".)

It IS powered off by default.  'Auto' means that frameworkd will power
up the relevant subsystem only if/when something requests the
resource.  In the case of the GPS, fso-gpsd is not starting up the gps,
but is waiting for something to access its 'fake' libgpsd, and when that
happens it requests the gps resource from frameworkd, so that it powers
up the GPS.  

Similar with WiFi - until something requests the resource it is
completely powered down.  (except - like other non-gps resources on the
FreeRunner - it doesn't have a special external handler like fso-gpsd,
it depends on the resource being properly requested via dbus)

The GSM chipset is also handled this way - with SHR, the GSM chipset
isn't powered up until something requests it.  (like ophonekitd, Paroli,
Zhone, etc)  But ophonekitd is launched by default when X starts up,
so the visible effect is that GSM is powered on automatically when
booted.

The result is that if you were to disable ophonekitd, you could boot
the FR and it would initially conserve maximum power by leaving GPS,
GSM, Wifi, and Bluetooth powered down.

This time I'm very happy to be wrong :D

The system you've described is *really* cool, is exactly what I define a
"functional phone" :D

Thanks for the explanations and thanks to all SHR team for bringing us

GPS isn't powered on when booting. fso-gpsd is only wrapper, it is
turning on GPS only, when some app is connecting to it.

In shr-settings "Auto" is that state - GPS on only when needed. After
changing to "Manual", if GPS was on, bottom toggle will be set to
"on"; and when with "auto" GPS was off, bottom toggle will be set to
"off".

State of all of toggles about GSM, Wifi, GPS etc.is not saved
anywhere. All of that resources are disabled on boot, and enabled when
needed (GSM after ophonekitd started, GPS after TangoGPS or Navit is
started etc.)

So - you are wrong :D

Pardon, I answer myself[1]: the GPS is powered on autoagically on boot,
so... is there a way to default power it off on boot?

Thanks, I'll try :) Another question: it seems that fso-gpsd is on when
the system is powered on, because if I try "/etc/init.d/fso-gpsd"
terminal answers me that it's already running.
I use GPS only sometimes, so GPS should be powered off at startup, also
to avoid the battery draining.
In the same time, which is the role of SHR Settings Manager -> Others,
when it default says: "GPS radio policy = Auto"? The GPS chip is on or
off? And if I act from Settings Manager, my settings will be lost on
reboot? If I set them to "Manual" and then I select "Off", it seems that
on reboot it switches again on "Auto"... frustrating :(

How could I proceed to power off GPS on startup?

Thanks

current frameworkd has a rule to poweroff when the battery is empty...
Try to disable it in /etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml... it is:

-
trigger: PowerStatus()
 filters: HasAttr(status, "empty")
 actions: Command('poweroff')

just comment those four lines out and reboot. Thats just my guess
though... not sure about it.

Same here! SHR unstable it's fantastic, stable and really usable as a
daily phone.
Just one problem: I've a cheap BL-5C battery which works like a charm
with all my nokia phones, but with the Neo FreeRunner is not recognized.
That battery with OM 2008.12 doesn't show any info with apm, but worked ok.

On SHR unstable, even with the battery fully charged and connected to
USB, after 5 minutes, SHR autonomously power off the phone. I set all
the values in Settings -> Power Management to "-1", but nothing.

Any hint?

(SHR) again

2009-02-22 Thread Paul

My Freerunner, using U-boot, is happily running the latest SHR-Lite.
And it is really good, I think! Nice, works with the phone quite well, 
and responds really snappy.

Me happy again.
Thanks for all the help!
