Any ebook readers/textfile viewers you could recommend for 2008.8?
Hi all, I feel terribly lost without my old Palm PDA, which bit the dust some time back - I used to have a mini-library on it :) Having exhausted most of our little collection of hard-copy books re-reading them, I tried out evince under 2008.8 on a couple of PDFs (that were A4 papersize, AFAIK) and they were pretty not exactly pleasant to read. I wonder if anyone knows of any more congenial ebook reader software that would work on the FR - especially if it handled PDF, PDB, and TXT files. I don't mind trying to convert PDB and PDF and other files to text - if I could find an effective text file viewer for the distro. Or if someone could point me to a way to reflow or otherwise convert the PDF files for the smaller screen, so that I could read in a more legible pointsize, that would be great. Thanks in advance for help and suggestions! Regards, Ed. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

If I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in, it charges back up to 100 percent, then starts discharging again. any Ideas? ONLY an idea, no factual knowledge :) but: Perhaps the charging circuitry is flipped off when the battery reaches 100% reported charge level, and then the phone is running off of battery, causing the slow discharge you see? When you unplug and replug, since the battery is below 100%, the charging circuit is turned back on till battery level once again reaches 100%? Think this is the explanation? Have you tried unplugging the phone when it hits 100% batt charge, and leaving it unplugged, and seeing if it maintains the same rate of discharge? Are you in a good signal coverage area, or does the phone have to 'shout' to talk with the tower (presuming your GSM is on)? When I'm in low-signal areas, the battery discharges faster. Been that way for my Nokia (past) and Motorola (present) phones too. What about other chipsets - Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi? Are they powered off, or are they on? Might be contributing to battery drain...

Hmmm... I suppose there's a good reason for that, not being as aware of battery tech as I ought to be :-) AFAIK, Li-Ion batteries don't suffer from the memory effect, so I don't really see what harm would be done by keeping a constant trickle charge going, sufficient to offset power demands from the hardware.

Of course, step 6 assumes that the SD card has at some point gotten out of the card reader on your host PC and back into the (booted and USB networking-connected) phone... but you can also adapt the commands to untar the image onto the microSD card while it is still in your card reader on your host PC, and still get the same results (I did it that way). Actually, you could probably just pipe the tar stdout output from the /dev/mtdblock0 mountpoint to another tar process that untarred it onto the ext2 partition on the microSD card in your card reader, and it should still work. However, despite refinements, I found that Shakthi's method worked very well for me. A small glitch I found with Qtopia on the SD card, though, was that practically all the filesystem-related functionality (music player, etc etc) only seemed to look at the first, VFAT partition... even though apparently running off the second, ext2 filesystem. SSHing into the phone revealed that /etc/fstab did not have a mount line for the second partition (??!) but despite adding that and rebooting the phone, I was unable to get Qtopia to see my music on the second partition.
