Hi, This is with reference to the preorder I gave on 25th of June, and the shipment which was supposed to reach IDA on 3rd of July, which they haven't till today. This is to just tell everybody else who ordered from IDA that it isn't going to help waiting passively for the mobile to arrive.

Stereo Jack Quirks

2008-07-29 Thread Karthik Kumar
Hi, 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 won't help as well. I need to pull the connector a few mm back (typically 2-3mm) to get it to work on both speakers. Do other device owners have this

Standalone Charger doesn't work?

I wouldn't worry about the robber coming home and beating you up for a USB charger at all. It looks like many el-cheapo phones ($60) come with USB chargers and cables which also work with the Freerunner. That makes it easier to steal the Freerunner though :( Keeping a poison-pill splash screen

Hi, I wouldn't recommend this that you'd go and buy a Nokia battery to boot up your phone. IMHO the first thing that needs to be fixed is a wall charging thing, with Qi/u-boot. You do get Taiwan made fake batteries for 30 INR (0.6 $) but they may explode, and I wouldn't recommend it. -Karthik

If you know the IMEI, report it to the local cops/police station. They have tieups with GSM service providers who can triangulate the phone. And the proactive way: The dealers who sell Openmoko can provide insurance (2% of the price extra) against theft, and you can use this to buy a new FR. The
