Re: Entering the PIN for a SIM card
Did you try to click on assembled digits? ; 2009/4/8, halbtaxabo...@yahoo.com halbtaxabo...@yahoo.com: I loaded the SD chip and the SIM card into my Openmoko as described on the Getting Started with your Neo FreeRunner page. I inserted the battery, closed the case and plugged it into the charger. It booted to the GUI (a few icons), then the screen went black after a couple of minutes. I pressed the power button, and can see text on the screen: Please enter the needed PIN. SIM Pin:___ I'm using a prepaid SIM card from Co-op Switzerland. I have the PIN. But how do I enter it? In the lower half of the screen are lower-case letters. By experimenting, I find I can get upper-case letters, or digits or special characters, by stroking the screen with the stylus. I can touch numbers with the stylus and thus compose a 4-digit number - in the lower half of the screen. But how do I enter it into the dialog box for the PIN? which is in the upper half or the screen? A photo showing the screen is attached. There is no obvious way to get the assembled 4 digits into the required box. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Entering the PIN for a SIM card
Yes, and nothing happened. Then I tried to double-tap on the assembled digits, and that worked... --- On Wed, 4/8/09, Johny Tenfinger seba.d...@gmail.com wrote: From: Johny Tenfinger seba.d...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Entering the PIN for a SIM card To: halbtaxabo...@yahoo.com, Support for Openmoko Device Owners support@lists.openmoko.org Date: Wednesday, April 8, 2009, 2:29 PM Did you try to click on assembled digits? ; 2009/4/8, halbtaxabo...@yahoo.com halbtaxabo...@yahoo.com: I loaded the SD chip and the SIM card into my Openmoko as described on the Getting Started with your Neo FreeRunner page.

Re: Entering the PIN for a SIM card
Backspace is when you slide your finger to the left (to right - space). But I agree - using that keyboard is a big mistake. In Qtopia/Qt Extended it works ok, but not in Qtopia/X11 ;p 2009/4/8, arne anka openm...@ginguppin.de: Yes, and nothing happened.

Not that I'd defend that keyboard, but backspace is by stroking from right to left over the keyboard and enter is by stroking from top to bottom. Showing the entered stuff, is what you normally want on a keyboard, that it shows it for password entries is, err..., debatable..., but probably no explicit design decision :) spaetz ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Entering the PIN for a SIM card
ah, i think i understand -- it's textfield for the pin and the standard (predictive) keyboard. well, i don't thinkl that's a good team. passowrd and pin shoudl then have their own keyboards. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
