no, no... that's another bug
I'm saying the new contacts are lost, the others (older ones) are all still 
there!

task I do to reproduce:
- open a received call from an unknown visible number
- push the button "save to contacts"
- create new? = yes
- usually I receive calls from mobiles, so I select the third icon "home+mobi 
(empty)"
- write the name of the contact
- press the green arrow to save
- the edit form is closed
- the incoming number is now correctly matched with the saved name
- the contact is in the address book
::reboot:: or ::shutdown+power::
- enter the pin and wait a while
- the address book is loaded with my contacts stored on the sim
- the new contact is not listed

I can see and confirm also with a regular phone the new contact is missing on 
the address book of the sim card.

Hi all,

I can confirm it here, if you 'miss' pin enter dialogue for a 2 minutes,
sim contacts look like not loaded at all. This is reproducible and i
think i always had such problem with qtmoko.

Where are also other sqlite problems. Sometimes on hardreset also sqlite
base seem failing somehow, and qtmoko resets theme to default.

Other option is some qtmoko-finger-friendly sqlite editor to maintain
base manually and always in good state :)

May be worth checking if database file is opened with O_SYNC, if not,
may be it is worth opening it with that flag. But i have too much ideas
to check em all...

Gennady

In my experience w/ qtmoko v26 (haven't tested v31 yet) your contacts
aren't deleted - it's that loading contacts from SIM is best measured in
minutes rather than seconds. It is quite slow.

This is not unique to the FreeRunner - I have a Motorola C155 (it has
the same GSM chipset) and it can take about a minute for my contacts to
load on that phone.

This is why SHR (and Android) import contacts and store them in a local
database.

Mine is quite full.

QtMoko stores contacts in a local database as well, but in my experience
only if I entered them into QtMoko - booting w/o SIM only gives me my
most recent contacts (since last flash).

Where is that option? I've never seen it. I thought it was automatic.

qtmoko, new contacts deleted on reboot

2011-01-10 Thread Alfa21
hello,
when I add contacts to my address-book from a received sms or voice call, it's 
highly probable I loose them after a reboot.
that happens not always but in 90% of cases.

my sim card is half free for new contacts.

also, I see if I do not enter my pin code for a while after a new boot, few 
contacts are loaded in "read only"... maybe from the sqlight file, but the sim 
is ignored.
this kind of contacts are lost if I change the qtmoko installation (pristine 
installation) probably because they are not in the sim too.

also, I can't see anymore the "copy contact to the sim" menu (or similar 
caption)... but I'm probably confused now.
