[Om 2008] Re: fixing bug #1024 successful reports?
Hi, I am also interested to get my daily phone :-) Why not just soldering another 10uF capacitor on top of the other. As I think soldering the capacitor to the shielding on the right yet requires an insulator. That way no long extra wires may be needed and no unsoldering is required. Some questions: I have read that making phone calls is impossible with that recamping, but I am able to do phone calls. I tried to start logging the battery with r...@om-gta02 ~ $ while true; do date mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.odeviced /org/freesmartphone/Device/ PowerSupply/battery org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerSupply.GetInfo sleep 5 done battery-data to compare the data, but I do not have mdbus command and it seems not to be installable with opkg (OM 2008). Where do I get it? What capacitor voltage is required or what capacitor could be used or where could I get a sample / buy one (22uF 0805 low-ESR)? I have no matching screwdriver, but an ESD save place to solder the capacitor with a Weller WECP 20. Is there any hardware fix party planned near stuttgart (I could provide the ESD equipment)? Is that ok?

Please post here your reports. Since about 5 days I'm using my #1024 fixed device as my main phone (before I only used it with my test SIM) and so far stability is pretty good. I measured standby time (GSM on, phone in suspend) of around 140h which makes the Freerunner much more comfortable to use in my opinion. While increasing the capacitance does work to solve #1024 the actual problem is that the capacitor is not integrated in the regulator feedback loop (iirc). So while it's not the correct solution it's probably the best you can do without another hardware revision.

Some questions: I have read that making phone calls is impossible with that recamping, but I am able to do phone calls. You can't make or receive the call when the phone isn't registered, and in worst case the phone will spend ~1/3 of the time reregistering. Networks seem to handle reregistrations differently though - O2 UK sometimes thought the phone was switched off when I called it, while Orange and t-mobile always connected.

Where do I get it? It wouldn't help on om2008.x as it isn't using FSO. You should be able to use apm or the sysfs battery entry to get similar information though.

As of reported to work I would do it as described. But I also wait about my reseller (pulster) if this is a warranty. Then I wouldn't do the work by my self :-) If not, I would like to see some pictures from that. Are there any around? That way no long extra wires may be needed and no unsoldering is required.

The insulation I think is better than not doing it :-) Some questions: I have read that making phone calls is impossible with that recamping, but I am able to do phone calls.

See: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_sysfs I am look forward to update to a newer version of whatever. There I only need something: Working phone (calls/sms), working GPS (with navit), working WLAN (at least with scripts). A plus would be bluetooth with headset for car radio and optionally working hands free. Has the Om2009 such a feature set?
