Zhone with visual suspend feedback, Was: FSO milestone3 my view (ON gta01)

I almost never get the thing to sleep because i fear i would press power too long and shut it down. What happens quite often never the less. If i shut it down by pressing the power button long, it ussually indicates shutdown (nice animation btw) but then goes into suspend. Both events suspend and shudown where triggered. Then i have to press power again to wake it up to let it finish shutdown. I have just created a patch that gives zhone visual feedback when suspending. This will, in that order highlight four bars on the screen: “keep pressed”, “let go”, “suspending” and “waking up”. They are highlighted when the user pushes down POWER, when he has pushed it for one second, when he releases it in time and when the phone wakes up. This also has the effect that keeping it pressed for more than three seconds it will _not_ suspend, as to not interfere with a shutdown or restart triggered by the Altr-Ctrl-Del sent this way. I’ll soon submit that for inclusion, so maybe that problem will be resolved as well.

Agreed and this is especially annoying if you use the FreeRunner as a watch (like I do). On ASU that's: take the fr out of the pocket, press power, wait 1-2 seconds, see the time and press power again. But on FSO (which has a nicer clock, btw ;)) that's: take the fr out, press power, wait 1-2 seconds, see the shiny clock and then wait 2-4 seconds till suspend is triggered or press the button too long and shut it down. imho the 2 to 4 second timeout (I haven't figured out the exact time yet^^) is not really necessary, as the power button is so tiny, that it is very unlikely you press it by accident. So im my eyes a much better solution compared to the gui by Joachim Breitner, would be to disable the timeout completely. -- Fabian ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

From what I’ve seen while coding the GUI (which is commited now), I think the reason why there is a timeout is that if there is not, the POWER press that you use to wake up the phone will be detected again...

So how does it work on ASU? I think suspending on button _release_ should work fine. -- Fabian ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
