I couldn't understand what I was looking at. I was looking for a simple check box or sticky button! Then recently I started thinking a little more about the problem, and I can always get SOS Only mode, so I started thinking maybe it's that the SIM isn't registering before the GSM daemon times out. I never tried to restart the GSM antenna before this version of SHR, so I don't know if previous versions have the same slider. It might be interesting to see if you get the same results as David Garabano Barro, i.e., booting from other distribution and then rebooting in SHR.

Regards, Fernando I'm using SHR-testing from April 23rd. In the Settings app, go to the Phone section, and there is a GSM on/off slider at the top. My SIM contact issue started from the day I got my phone. My original SIM didn't work, so I left it in my old phone until I could research which SIM I needed. Once I knew, I went to the ATT store and got my new SIM, which worked immediately. I was restarting my phone fairly often with new distributions, and the SHR distro seemed to be the only one that had the problem. It wouldn't register, so I'd reboot again and again, then I'd shut it down, re-seat the SIM card, and boot again... this time it found the network with no problem. That pattern repeated every time I had to restart my FR.

O Domingo, 26 de Abril de 2009, Fernando Martins escribiu: I've just flashed shr testing 22nd April and I don't get the usual pin code request. Also, the icons Contacts and Mofi on the desktop are just two blank sheets. Under settings, the GSM antena is set off but I can't change it to on. The Modem information does nothing (not yet implemented?). So, how can I start GSM, manually and on startup? The same is happening to me, with the SHR testing April,22nd image. It happened also with a 16th April image updated to latest level. I though something broke on the update, and I reflashed with a clean image, but it didn't solved the problems. My experience: -SHR can boot one or two times OK. SHR register to network or gives you the no sim message, depending on if you have SIM inserted or not. -But then it starts to fail. I couldn't find any pattern, but it happens normally on the 2nd or 3th boot. It doesn't register, nor gives you the no sim inserted message. SHR settings say no ophonekitd running when you try to start it -The ONLY way I found to back to normality is to boot *ANY OTHER* distribution (I have some more on the SIM card) and then reboot in SHR. Then it starts to work again. It sounds strange, but it works to me. It never happened to me with April 16th image or before.

Sadly there has not been improvement on this area, i.e., the request for the pincode does not come right away as in typical mobiles. This is one one the few little but constant annoyances that does not allow FR/SHR to look polished.

Regards, Fernando Something goes wrong. It should have started automatically. What image did you flash exactly? I had the same problem... actually I still have it. My SIM doesn't always make good contact with the FR slot, so if I get that type of problem, I shut down the FR, pull the battery, and wiggle the SIM in the socket... then put it back together and boot it up. For those that are curious, the pins are connecting almost dead-center on the proper place, there just seems to be a contact problem on my phone. Usually mine will boot, then after the appropriate time (maybe a minute), I get the error that the SIM card isn't found. If it's just a premature message, I will get signal and wireless carrier info in the shelf (SHR-April 22nd release). If it truly can't seem to connect, I learned today that I can switch the GSM radio off and back on to have it re-initialize and acquire signal properly. This seems a bit of a pain, but I knew what I was getting when I bought the FR, and I'm still very happy with my purchase. :) The fact that I have a GPS that can download its own maps while I'm on the road is the best. -Laura ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

There was a part on quick starting some apps, which I dismissed and now I wonder if I overlooked GMS startup. Later on, when I looked at the phone again, there was a dialog box stating that ophonekit was not started with an option to start, which I did, but nothing happened (no pin code request).
