That's what http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1827 is for. I don't
know what the progress there is, though.

Sorry for keeping on replying to myself, but STATUS UPDATE:

Registered within 5 minutes.  Should we call it 'working like a charm?'.
I'm not superstitious, but I don't want to jinx it nevertheless!

This is stock 2008.8 with Zecke's updates, btw.  Thanks all.

OK, now I have removed gsmd too:

opkg remove gsmd*

The phone had worked infrequently even when both dialers were installed.

Both dialers are in repos and I bet a lot of folks will install them not
knowing that OM dialer really brakes things. Are there any instructions
how to fully remove OM dialer + gsmd or how to fully remove Qtopia to
fix it without reflashing? And why gsmd was replaced with qpe in the

dialer will be ported to talk to qpe?

You have both the dialer from OM2007.2 and the Qtopia dialer installed?
Then that's probably why it takes so long for your phone to register to
the network: OM-dialer depends on gsmd, but Qtopia has its own GSM
stack, and the two are conflicting. So either remove Qtopia completely,
or remove gsmd.

Thomas

Strange - it works here. I have to press the power button for a few
seconds, which is a bit unnerving as I am worried that I will reboot
the phone.
But it works every time.

Suspend?  If I activate both the 'blank' and 'suspend' options under the
Configuration > Power menu, the phone does not wake up at all.  I had once
been able to get it suspended and wake it up with the power button, but I am
no longer sure how that magic worked.

By the way, now the OM-dialer also works, but it seems to have a clash with
the QT dialer and either one does not respond whenever there is a call.  Is
there a way to specify the default dialer?  Moot question, probably, because
somebody pointed out just now how I could import all contacts at once in the
QT contacts and remove the OM-dialer.

What happens if you try to suspend the FR after it has rebooted?
When I wake up my FR after suspend it registers very quickly to the network.
YMMV.

Did you try installing raster's image [1] than updating from
zecke-testing?

To me it's just a tad less stable than framebuffer qtopia, but way more
exciting :)

GSM registration still takes time - OM2008.08 with Zecke-testing

2008-08-25 Thread Nishit Dave
Hi list,

I have tried the zecke-testing branch updates, and now my FR does get
registered, and I can send and receive calls and messages.  However, once
rebooted, the FR takes at least 15-20 minutes, probably longer to get
registered to the network.

Can anybody tell me if this is still an outstanding issue, or should it be
solved? How?
