 It's hard to get surface-mount components individually to solder on and fix 
 the buzz. Is it possible for someone to send me the resistor and capacitor?

I've done this multiple times now, for European destinations.
If this applies to you, please contact me by PM.

[Om2009] What needs to be installed to make it usable?

2009-04-27 Thread halbtaxabo-om

Since the Openmoko with Om2008.12 isn't really usable as a mobile
phone, I thought the most useful thing for me to do was to load
Om2009 as described at:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2009
and then test it and report bugs.
On that page it tells you which kernel, filesystem and bootloader
to flash with dfu-util. I did that.
Now, when I boot up, I don't get any icons. The default screen just
shows the time, and 4 menu options:
I/O
Msgs
Tele
People

No settings; how do I set things like the time before it goes into
sleep mode, essential to ssh into the Openmoko?

The other disappointment is that it is still not usable as a mobile
phone. It can make and receive calls, but the call volume at the
Openmoko is so low it is barely audible, just the same as
with Om2008.12. And sometimes (not on all calls) there is a lot
of noise at the other end of the line (i.e. at the normal telephone).
(Actually I suppose it's possible that there's noise at the OM end,
but the volume is so low anyway that I don't notice it.)

I'm probably coming across as a clueless newbie, but I really
am trying to help with testing and if you give me some pointers
as to what to load to get further, I'll also update the wiki
again to help other clueless newbies. I did look through the 
message archive, but didn't find anything useful specifically
geared to the Om2009 distro.

I know how to use ssh to get into the om (have already done it)
and know how to set up iptables on my linux host to get
from the om to the net, if that's needed.

Advice please?

With the current testing image that is what is expected. If you want to
wait a couple of days I'm trying to get another testing image out that
addresses some of your concerns. 

If you want to try and get it going on your own most of the tweaks that
refer to FSO in the wiki will aslo work for Om2009 .
