I assume it would also be valid for car chargers like
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_charger#sold_as_.22Essentiel_b_.28Boulanger.29.22_Chargeur_allume-cigares.2FUSB
... as I did it ;)

My 2 cents.

Re: QTopia kernel oops and other questions/comments.

2008-07-29 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko
Hi Andy,

Thanks for a feedback -- I just want to mention again that those are 
pure qtopia images -- both kernel and rootfs and without any consecutive 
opkg upgrades, so I guess there should be no way I could add any 
modules, unless they are in the shipped qtopia image, thus should be 
addressed by Trolltech people I guess ;-)

I don't think I saw similar messages on OM2007.2 (there was some garbage 
on text console whenever I was powering that image down last time, but 
it went too fast for me to comprehend what was on the screen ;-))

Read the Wiki:  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD

Make sure the kernel you're using has ext3 built into it.  Using ext2 has
been suggested for the microSD because it will wear it less.  In that case
be sure ext2 is in the kernel.  I know the kernel from 7-22-2008 has ext2
support in it.

No luck. Fails with the same message. I was able to mount the jffs2 image on
a loop device, and cp'ed the directory structure to the SD card's ext3
partition. After I insert the SD card into the phone and boot, the kernel
starts but fails again.

Re: Battery discharging after long time connected to the power charger ?

2008-07-29 Thread Jim Colton
Also to note:

I found the Freerunner not charging (actually it was discharging because it
was on) when it was attached to a USB port on the dock station of a laptop.
I moved the connection to a USB on the laptop and it started charging.  I
think some USB ports have lower power or maybe next to none.

The wall charger charges up the device quick - like in 2 hours  .. as is
stated in the wiki.

Re: Stereo Jack Quirks

2008-07-29 Thread Felix Mahnke
Hi Karthik,

this sounds like a mechanical issue to me.

Seems like on the phone-jack side only one channel delivers a sound signal.
If you pull it out this one contact connects to both channels of your
earphone.

The result is, that you hear mono-sound on both sides of your earphone.

Try to change the setting not just for volume or device, but for balance.
Choose a soundsource, that produces a traceable stereo-signal. If you only
hear one channel on both ears, then in my opinion a hardware-failure is the
the only conclusion. Then you should bring your telephone to the shop, where
you bought it.

regards, Felix

I noticed that pushing the stereo jack in until there isn't a visible
connector gap doesn't output any sound at all. Playing with alsamixer

I think this works fine. Suppose you have your phone on your desk, and are 
outside playing with your kids. A call comes in but since you cannot hear 
it, it is 'missed'. I want to be notified explicitly and prominently when I 
return to my phone that I missed the call.

There are 2 reasons for that. First it's work in progress - I haven't worked 
out where everything is yet. Second there is some difficulty adding controls 
that are logical entities in the digital blocks to the picture. I was going 
to tabulate the controls, but haven't got to grips with the mediawiki table 
markup yet. I'm open to suggestions!

Capricious USB connection

2008-07-29 Thread Mikael Berthe
Hi there,

I noticed several times a problem when connecting the FR to a host PC.

When it happens, the (Linux) host won't recognize the Neo as a network
device, and -- more annoying -- the Neo won't fast-charge.

The only solution I have found is to reboot the FR (and sometimes it
isn't enough, last time I had to remove the battery).

(I tried with several machines so, a priori, it doesn't seem to be a
problem with the host PC.)

On the host, the kern logs look like this:
  kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
  kernel: usb 4-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
  kernel: usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10
  kernel: usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11
  kernel: usb 4-1: device not accepting address 11, error -71
  kernel: usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12
  kernel: usb 4-1: device not accepting address 12, error -71
  kernel: hub 4-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

Have you ever seen this?
Any advice for the next time it occurs? :)

Do you mean by name?  Because you can go into the Options menu and limit the
contacts by Group, as well as by location (Contacts vs SIM)  Selecting no
group is the equivalent of "Show All".

hm, hm ...

well, according to alsa.state, "DAI Mode" is control #50,
which is not drawn in WM8753 to ALSA mappings

  The problem seems to be an off-by-one bug in the software packages software. 
It was discovered earlier today by the developer of a wifi scanner and me who 
wanted to try the thing out - we kept getting no packages, until i noticed 
what you just did. Duplicating the entry in his local feed made the package 
show up, and as such, we figured that that's where the problem lies :)

I've used it too, and I'd like to post some notes too (well, isn't there 
a bugzilla?).

However I've found these bugs:

  - Contacts unfiltrable (The keyboard should pop-up like in ASU)
  - Message not shown (if I do "yes, show message" it goes back to home)
  - Message tiny icon disappear also if there are messages not read
  - Read/unread messages count is wrong to me
  - Apps run while finger scrolling (tapping should need more power)
  - The buttons are hard to push using finger (in ASU they're not)
  - Predictive needs more accents (or understand a special char like
"ì, à, ù, è, é..." without need of writing it just following the
dictionary since they should be considered as their relative
standard char)
  - Allow to remove last written char in predictive (not all the word)
  - Unlock menu stays on bottom bar on boot also after unlocking the sim
  - Missing support for USSD gsm request (i'd need them for credit check)
  - I guess that when refusing a call, it's sent a wrong "busy" code to
the carrier since I get a sms notification of the missed call (and
I should get that only if my mobile is off or there's no GSM signal).
  - I can't register voice clips (seconds counter rests to 0)
  - There's a buzz-noise during a call in my speaker, I've fixed it
setting the openmoko gsmheadset.state scenario decreasing to 103 the
Mono Playback Volume control.
  - The vibration is too low, I'd set a 255 value to the sys device.
  - I've received some SMSs only after running 2007.2 gtk version.

However those are notes to the most usable distro for Freerunner, 
actually (also if it lacks of GPS/Net/Sip apps support :/).

woah, I finally got it to work. I change DAI Mode from "DAI 0"
to "DAI 1" - and suddenly the dsp-device spits out tons o' data.

that was quite some trial and error, a real "DAI" hard.

For some reason I'm not seeing the Screenshot app when using the Software
Packages app and pointing it at the qtopia.net/packages/feed/4.3.2/neo/
repository.  I see all the other apps, just not Screenshot.

Does anyone have this working?  Any ideas?

Qtopia Questions/Bugs/Suggestions

2008-07-29 Thread Charles Hill

I'm currently running Qtopia on my FreeRunner.
Version: 4.3.2 snapshot 07221045 Submitted Date 2008/7/24

1. Question: When going into the System Info on the phone it says Qtopia
Version 4.3.3, built by lpotter@ on July 22.  Which is it, 4.3.2 or 4.3.3?

2. Bug: Speed Dial has no visual feedback of selection.  Clicking icons on
the home screen, Main Menu, and sub-menus gives feedback in the way of a
colored highlight or enlarging icon.  When clicking anything in the Speed
Dial, nothing happens until the program pops up.  The top item in my Speed
Dial list always stays highlighted.

3. Question: In Power Management, it is possible to set Suspend faster than
Display Off or Dim.  Is it really supposed to allow that?

4. Suggestion: When playing music, if you place a call, the music stops
until the call is finished.  Cool.  However, it would be better (IMHO) if
you PAUSED the music, so the song doesn't restart at the beginning when the
call is done.

5. Suggestion: When playing music, if you get a call, the music stops.  It
would be slick if the music volume simply dropped to 10% or so while the
phone was ringing -- both at once.  Then, if the person chose to ignore the
call, the music volume ticks back up to where it was.  If they choose to
answer the call, pause the music until the call is done.

6. Bug: I have one MP3 that Media Player insists on playing in Chipmunk mode
-- 2x speed.  It plays fine on my desktop.  Now that I look at it, it is the
only MP3 I have encoded at 64 Kbps.  Hmmm

7. Question: When playing music, after the screen dims/turns off due to
Power Management settings, it undims/turns on when a song changes.  Is this
the desired behavior?

Thanks,

 Charles Hill

okay, this means "normally the wm8753 is not configured to do this, but
you can configure it to make it work", right?

and if configured correctly, which is:

then /dev/dsp will output PCM data?

hm ... I dunno how to do this. In alsamixer, in the capture view, I see
several controls, like e.g. PCM, Mic1, Mic2, Capture. I've put them all
to 100% and unmuted them. Still there's no activity on /dev/dsp.
On the other hand, I don't see a "MICBIAS" control.

If it helps, I could copy the contents of /etc/asound.state into an email.

kind regards,

I can't give you a straight answer on what to do, but here is the
situation around it.

The normal audio routing for the microphone inside the WM8753 codec is
to bring it in on "MIC2" port and then send it via an "analogue path"
around some scalers and mixers and switches and send it back out again
on MONO1 / MONO2 to the GSM chip.  In short it doesn't get delivered to
the ADC in the Wolfson where you can pull it as normal PCM.

You can see it here:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/2/2c/WM8753_BlockDiagram_GSM_handset.png

If the PGA and mux are configured, it should work OK.

One last consideration, the Mic is OFF unless you enabled MICBIAS signal
to power it.

mixer settings for voice recording?

2008-07-29 Thread H. Rosmanith

hello,

I've got my brandnew neo freefrunner just yesterday, and
have a question about it.

I logged into the ... device via ssh and copied some file
to the audio device, like "dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/dsp bs=1k count=100"

This will produce some noise, as expected.

Now I'd like to copy some data from the microphones, and I first
check what's coming in from the device using "od" like in:

od -x /dev/dsp

but this only produces a permanent stream of 0x80 - a flat, silent 
line (He's dead, Jim!)

I played around with alsamixer settings, un-muted all entries,
be they playback or capture, and maxed the volume. I randomly
changed entries which allow multiple selection, e.g. Mic1, Mic2, Mic3
and so on.

The maximum I got was a high-pitched sinus-sound (obviously resonance frequ.),
but the output of "od -x" never changed.

So, what is required to make the dsp-device delive audio-data?

Q: The hardware does support this, right?

Q: Is it a audio-driver problem, e.g. the alsa-device-driver for the chip
   doesnt support audio capturing?

Q: Is it a problem with my mixer settings? If so, which are the correct
   mixer settings?


kind regards,
H. Rosmanith

Workaround for screenshot error: "cannot be converted to ISO-8859-1 encoding"

2008-07-29 Thread Niccolo Rigacci
Someone reported the error when saving a screenshot:
"Error saving screenshot: Value for PNG text chunk CREATOR cannot 
be converted to ISO-8859-1 encoding"

I got the same error on a FreeRunner OM2007.2 upgraded yesterday.

The screen capture porgram (gpe-scap) fails to open /lib/libc.so, 
so I solved with:

ln -s libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so

Should someone open a bug?

It's fine.  Those blocks at the end contain the bad block table for the
device, they are marked themselves as bad blocks so they won't get
messed with by anything else.

Raw NAND is horrible stuff and you could easily find more real bad
blocks in that partition, bootloader and Linux know how to work around
it if it was so.

Re: Signature Check Failed on opkg update

2008-07-29 Thread shawn sullivan
Hey Bob,

When I first installed the matchbox keyboard, I had to go find the 
updated libfreetype6 on the web. If you google it you should be able to 
find it for our phone with no problem. You'll have to install it 
manually, but that would be
opkg install force-update libfreetype6 (i think that's the correct syntax).

There are a few, but need work compiling/packaging and are not yet ready.

There is also an example gps application in the upcoming 4.4 release.

qpeGPS package for Qtopia

Is there a Freerunner/Qtopia package out there somewhere for qpeGPS?

I've been searching for a while now because I really like Qtopia, but I've
found none--well, at least the package in their download section doesn't
seem to be compatible with opkg.  I'm not even sure if that one is even
compatible with the Freerunner.  I'm pretty sure it's just for the Zaurus.

Depends on what you do. Plan[tm] for most x11 images seems to be that 
many x11 toolkits should work. So should qt.

But you speak of dbus. Tha'ts where platforms currently really differ.
Depends on what you want to do. A little game or graphical app would not 
need any of this.
Working with contacts or other PIM stuff, gps locations, phone access or 
changing appearance of some basic apps would require a choice of 
platform from you in advance. (Or at least consideration on porting it 
to multiple apis)

It seems that the new kernel-image-2.6.24 package does not

Remember also to copy the image file into /boot/ once you can ssh 
the Neo again.

Re: Flashing Qtopia using Windows XP SP2.

2008-07-29 Thread Aditya Nag
Hey,

Don't set console to USB. Keep it plugged in, and restart. At the
menu, don't do anything. That worked for me

Re: QTopia kernel oops and other questions/comments.

Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| trying the most recent qtopia images (without any additional fixes). On
| boot I mentioned some kernel oopses... here is one (phone was attached
| via usb on boot to the laptop... and now remains attached although I use
| wifi for terminal ssh)
|
| 1.

| sysfs: duplicate filename 'hci_usb' can not be created
| WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:424 sysfs_add_one()

Hm this looks like the kernel has built-ins for these drivers, and later
we come and try to insert a module for the same driver.  Since the
kernel build process either makes a built-in or a module if it does
anything, it also means that the module belongs to an older / different
kernel.

So I guess you updated the uImage.bin monolithic kernel to a more
built-in one (generally a good thing) but still in /lib/module/* are the
old modules from another kernel and qtopia likes to try to insert them.

Hopefully soon we will move to a /lib/module/ model
where this accidental use of old modules is disallowed.  But anyway that
is what I think happens to you here.
