I had this problem when I put obexftp into the startup for my bluez. Turns out it doesn't auto-background, so it was hanging there just after the startup. Happily, I was able to ssh in, fix it, and kill the obexftp to let it start up normal. Can you ssh in via USB still? If so look at the

Can we please put terminal in the default package list for ASU again? When it first comes up, bluez is useless (no net support), I've yet to get the default wifi handler to get any wifi setup, and the only way to get on is via USB. And now in the latest image... USB is acting up again. I

From what I know of the construction (from taking it apart mainly) the touch screen layer on the Neo series is actually *under* the LCD. The scar you're seeing is probably in the protective plastic layer thats over the LCD glass. You should be able to open the phone and verify this, and maybe

I disagree for one simple reason: There has yet to be a stable kernel and interface for any GTA* phone from which to build. There are releases that are labeled stable, but most of them crash after a short time, or have major bugs that prevent the hardware from working like a normal phone for

I've found the the SMS buzz is there, but not as bad with images that have (or boot with) a recent kernel. I seem to recall there was a patch that reduced the SMS buzz, so maybe the more recent kernels have that and that's the reason. It's not that bad to be honest though. Most of the

Is there a Wattage? Most chargers that don't list amperage list a wattage instead. If you have the voltage and the wattage you can determine the amperage based on that. Watt = Volt * Amp. So if you know the wattage and voltage, Amp = Watt/Volt. Most car-based converts use a voltage
