 I would like it better if the bitbake recipe changes can be moved into OE.
 
 That's theory. In practice, you submit the recipe plus patches in OE 
 bugtracker and then it's forgotten about.
Sure, OE people are just people. AFAIK everyone is pretty busy.

 I submitted 2 games there a couple of months ago and they're still not 
 merged, 
 and thus not available to the openmoko community, except in binary form from 
 opkg.org
Please give me the links to those bugzilla entries. Maybe I can do

  OMoney ... bookkeeping on the go.
  One might ask, why the hell do we need a bookkeeping software on a
 phone?
  Because my experience shows that if one does not record the gains and
  expenses one forgets half of them.
  And ... Because we can.
 
  As OMoney is one of those release early, release often programs
  milestone 1 at the moment includes only the following corefeatures:
   * Displays the current available amount of money
   * One can do transactions to add and deduce money
  * Automatic keyboard call
   * A history table which includes date, time, amount, purpose and
 location
  of the transaction
   * Basic error handling
 
  Downloadlink for the ipk:
  [1]
 
  More features will come soon:
  Currently I am implementing a settings dialog (to e.g. set the
 currency
  [at
  the moment one has to edit a constant in the omoney file])
  For more planned features look at the project's bug tracker.
 
  From a technical point of view OMoney uses:
   * python
   * python-ecore
   * python-evas
   * python-edje
   * python-etk (for entry and table widget)
   * python-sqlite3
 
  What do I want from you?
   * Feedback:Do you like the app or do you think the author has
 gone
  round the bend?
  What could be improved?
  Features you would like to see?
  How could one display the history more efficiently?
   * Patches:If you think a part of code is inefficient, too
 unflexible,
  incomplete, buggy, etc
  feel free to contribute a patch.
  Be kind, this is my first application with GUI
 
  I hope there are a few people who find this application useful.

Notes about the current testing image

2008-12-11 Thread John Lee
Dear community,

Here is the note I kept about the current testing image.  Part of it
was already in the status update I sent before.  I modified a bit to
match the current situation and put it here so it could be archived.
Please remember that since it's not in stable repo, it is a subject to
change.  What I wrote here only applies to the testing image for the
last couple days.


Upgrade from Om2008.9
-

Note: you can also flash new image in
http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing

Note: only upgrade from a clean Om2008.9 image is tested.

sed -i -e 's%Om2008.8%testing%' /etc/opkg/*.conf
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop
screen -DR
opkg update
opkg -force-overwrite upgrade
# please ans Y to all questions
# the sshd (dropbear) will restart, so you need to reconnect and do
# 'screen -DR' again
opkg upgrade  # just in case
shutdown -r now

To get the fastest boot time you also need to remove the following
packages:

opkg remove task-base-nfs task-base-smbfs task-base-bluetooth \
task-base-usbgadget avahi-daemon avahi-autoipd blueprobe \
usb-gadget-mode portmap exquisite exquisite-theme-freerunner \
exquisite-themes

Known problems about upgrade

* Dropbear restart during opkg upgrade

* some obsolete packages (like kernel modules) still left in system

* will purge your incompatible e config, so you might need to set
  stuffs like suspend time again.


Known issues


* usb network won't work at first boot if you flash new image (#2096)

* Illume sigsegv (#1767) - make sure you use asu theme if you use
  software_16 engine.  If you want to use illume theme, you must
  switch to 'software' engine via illume config (in the upper shelf)

* must remove 'ro' in kernel boot parameter if you use sd boot.

* Most of the http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8#Known_Issues
  are still there.


Changes related to the dismissed optimization team

#1267: echo AT%N patch applied, credit of Treviño

#1489: qtopia volume bar

Touch screen driver enhancement: see

#2031: Scroll list enhancement.

There are still many todo items left on my list and some items half
done, but we didn't have enough time to finish them all.  Sorry.


Echo


No definitive software solution yet.  A way to improve it is:

control.4 Speaker Playback Volume in
/usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state

the max value is 127, 95 works best on my neo.  With volume level 3 or
4 in qtopia dialer, the other side can only hear a minor trace of echo
while I get good audio quality.

shr uses indeed fso, but they disable deep sleep by default, just because of

Sorry, I'm not explaying myself...

#1024 is annoying me a lot for two reasons

1) If I want to receive calls with phone suspended, I have only one option: 
SHR
As SHR is based in FSO, I suppose you're right, FSO should also work. But only 
SHR works out of the box. I have tried FSO M4, but I haven't tried to force 
calypso to never deep sleep.

2) Not deep sleeping, power consumption is not optimal. I know continuously 
reconnecting consumes more power, but we're consuming more than necessary. 
And my battery lifetime is not the best in the world ;)

I can live without PIM, without calendar, even without Doom ;), but I do need 
GSM telephony for my work.
Having this bug solved, probably I could use FR as daily phone, and be more 
active on community. I think a lot other people are on the same situation as 
me.

But, as you can read on Steve Mosher's answer, there is one person actively 
working on this bug. Great news!

There is a kernel image somewhere that doesn't go WSOD under

I would like to switch to 2.6.28 - much faster and the WIFI
seems to work well.  I never suspend so I don't know about WSOD
on resume, but all 2.6.28/2.6.26 kernels I have tried
tends to go white whenever I start a game that switch screen 
orientation. Duke nukem is impossible, numptyphysics may also
fail to start.

The screen is dead then, but not the phone. (ssh works)

So I use old 2.6.24, which seems to work, but nothing is as
snappy as with the newer kernels. Menus appear slower, games
are slow and jumpy, there is generally more waiting. And
forget the WIFI.  But at least I have a useable phone with SHR.

 I have written some time ago the same application ;-)
 
 It's called pygtk-rotate and is available on OpenMokoProjects
 
 http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/pygtk-rotate/

Well I guess I have invented the wheel once again. But since this was 
primarly a project for learning pygtk it was no waste of time :-) I have 
some nice ideas, which I want to implement with pygtk and this time I 
will search for it before I create a second wheel.

Re: Notes about the current testing image

2008-12-11 Thread Samuel Pereira
Hello  John,

I try yesterday image, and the boot speed is really fast, its great!

I flash the neo, change /etc/enlightment/default for illume!

And when i try to change config illume, desktops, fonts, theme, the qpe 
crash, and i cannot change it!
This is a detected bug?


Thanks for your work,
Samuel


 Dear community,

 Here is the note I kept about the current testing image.  Part of it
 was already in the status update I sent before.  I modified a bit to
 match the current situation and put it here so it could be archived.
 Please remember that since it's not in stable repo, it is a subject to
 change.  What I wrote here only applies to the testing image for the
 last couple days.


 Upgrade from Om2008.9
 -

 Note: you can also flash new image in
 http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing

 Note: only upgrade from a clean Om2008.9 image is tested.

 sed -i -e 's%Om2008.8%testing%' /etc/opkg/*.conf
 /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop
 screen -DR
 opkg update
 opkg -force-overwrite upgrade
 # please ans Y to all questions
 # the sshd (dropbear) will restart, so you need to reconnect and do
 # 'screen -DR' again
 opkg upgrade  # just in case
 shutdown -r now

 To get the fastest boot time you also need to remove the following
 packages:

 opkg remove task-base-nfs task-base-smbfs task-base-bluetooth \
 task-base-usbgadget avahi-daemon avahi-autoipd blueprobe \
 usb-gadget-mode portmap exquisite exquisite-theme-freerunner \
 exquisite-themes

 Known problems about upgrade

 * Dropbear restart during opkg upgrade

 * some obsolete packages (like kernel modules) still left in system

 * will purge your incompatible e config, so you might need to set
   stuffs like suspend time again.


 Known issues
 

 * usb network won't work at first boot if you flash new image (#2096)

 * Illume sigsegv (#1767) - make sure you use asu theme if you use
   software_16 engine.  If you want to use illume theme, you must
   switch to 'software' engine via illume config (in the upper shelf)

 * must remove 'ro' in kernel boot parameter if you use sd boot.

 * Most of the http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8#Known_Issues
   are still there.


 Changes related to the dismissed optimization team

 #1267: echo AT%N patch applied, credit of Treviño

 Touch screen driver enhancement: see

 #2031: Scroll list enhancement.

 There are still many todo items left on my list and some items half
 done, but we didn't have enough time to finish them all.  Sorry.


 Echo
 

 No definitive software solution yet.  A way to improve it is:

 control.4 Speaker Playback Volume in
 /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state

 the max value is 127, 95 works best on my neo.  With volume level 3 or
 4 in qtopia dialer, the other side can only hear a minor trace of echo
 while I get good audio quality.

 John

Hi All,

I added another column to indicate echo problems - I think it would be
good to get info on both of these issues.

With regard to buzz, do you think it is necessary to differentiate
between no buzz at all, always buzz, and buzz only with headset? My
understanding was that using a headset also has an influence.

Been playing with the illume edje file ... not what you have asked for

mv your existing /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/illume.edj
somewhere safe and replace with the above and reboot.

I have fiddled with a few other things, but if someone wants an original

Re: Bad Customer support from Truebox.com about a Broken Battery

2008-12-11 Thread Stroller
Bad move, guys.

If the customer says the goods haven't arrived, you have to take it on  
the chin  send a replacement, unless you can prove otherwise.

ankostis' words i had personally instructed you suggest to me that  
he may be a demanding  unwelcome customer - if I were writing I would  
advise you to choose a service with tracking capabilities - but that  
does not justify accusing him of bad mouthing you. Your mother  
brought you up better than for you to make such a response!!

Customer service requires you often to exceed expectations. I know,  
because I've had to swallow the expense myself of hardware lost by the  
post office. He's a customer and he's entitled to bad mouth you, as  
long as he states the facts.

I just don't get it:
1) you send out a phone with a duff battery. Not your fault.
2) you send out a replacement battery which gets lost in the post. Not  
your fault.
3) you send out a second replacement battery. Why the heck did you  
choose not to send it Special Delivery this time?? It was behove upon  
you to do so - hang the cost - in order to demonstrate your exemplary  
customer service. You failed.

If I were in your position now - which I would not be!! I should be  
shamed to admit that I have failed customers on more than one  
occasion, but never over something as straight-forward as taking a  
jiffy bag to the post office - I would now be thinking I need to pay  
Fed Ex or someone £80 or more to get a battery to Greece within 24 or  
48 hours.

Stroller.

 system:

 # ls /sys/class/net/
 /sys/class/net/lo//sys/class/net/usb0/

 therefore i am unable bring up the eth0 interface i.e:

 # /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
 ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

 on my friends device with the same system and kernel the eth0 interface
 is brought up and we can see it in /sys/class/net/eth0/ and also it can
 be brought up with the ifconfig command.

Re: Bad Customer support from Truebox.com about a Broken Battery

2008-12-11 Thread rakshat hooja



 If I were in your position now - which I would not be!! I should be
 shamed to admit that I have failed customers on more than one
 occasion, but never over something as straight-forward as taking a
 jiffy bag to the post office - I would now be thinking I need to pay
 Fed Ex or someone £80 or more to get a battery to Greece within 24 or
 48 hours.

 Stroller.


Or if you feel shipping batteries to Greece is unreliable/ not possible
offer the customer a 10-15% discount on their next purchase from your store.
Maybe something like that can be worked out even now and everyone can be
happy.

Rakshat

PS - in my market customers are encouraged via government campaigns to
publicly air their grievances if there is no response from the seller so I
dont find it odd if a problem/issue has been made public.

I don't want them having my data, it's true, I don't use their services
(other than search) because I don't believe in giving control to third
parties.

However, in this case, they have provided an open source mobile phone
operating environment that is responsive, pretty and provides a hardware
agnostic application environment. With a little bit of market penetration
(and there are already many vendors looking with phones in the works) a
software community far wider than a single device could spring up.

And with it being OSS I can make sure the version I run is not subject to
any google control.

I agree that google are currently in a moral grey area, (and outright wrong
about controlling people's phones) but I don't think android should be
dismissed for this.

 Hello  John,

 I try yesterday image, and the boot speed is really fast, its great!

 And when i try to change config illume, desktops, fonts, theme, the qpe 
 crash, and i cannot change it!
 This is a detected bug?


 Thanks for your work,

 Dear community,

 Here is the note I kept about the current testing image.  Part of it
 was already in the status update I sent before.  I modified a bit to
 match the current situation and put it here so it could be archived.
 Please remember that since it's not in stable repo, it is a subject to
 change.  What I wrote here only applies to the testing image for the
 last couple days.


 Upgrade from Om2008.9
 -

 Note: you can also flash new image in
 http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing

 Note: only upgrade from a clean Om2008.9 image is tested.

 sed -i -e 's%Om2008.8%testing%' /etc/opkg/*.conf
 /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop
 screen -DR
 opkg update
 opkg -force-overwrite upgrade
 # please ans Y to all questions
 # the sshd (dropbear) will restart, so you need to reconnect and do
 # 'screen -DR' again
 opkg upgrade  # just in case
 shutdown -r now

 To get the fastest boot time you also need to remove the following
 packages:

 opkg remove task-base-nfs task-base-smbfs task-base-bluetooth \
 task-base-usbgadget avahi-daemon avahi-autoipd blueprobe \
 usb-gadget-mode portmap exquisite exquisite-theme-freerunner \
 exquisite-themes

 Known problems about upgrade

 * Dropbear restart during opkg upgrade

 * some obsolete packages (like kernel modules) still left in system

 * will purge your incompatible e config, so you might need to set
   stuffs like suspend time again.


 Known issues
 

 * usb network won't work at first boot if you flash new image (#2096)

 * Illume sigsegv (#1767) - make sure you use asu theme if you use
   software_16 engine.  If you want to use illume theme, you must
   switch to 'software' engine via illume config (in the upper shelf)

 * must remove 'ro' in kernel boot parameter if you use sd boot.

 * Most of the http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8#Known_Issues
   are still there.


 Changes related to the dismissed optimization team
 --

 #1267: echo AT%N patch applied, credit of Treviño

 #1489: qtopia volume bar

 #69: boot time scripts.  Some qtopia modifications as well.

 #1347, #2113: userspace suspend/resume 

 Touch screen driver enhancement: see
 http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-October/002822.html

 #2031: Scroll list enhancement.

 There are still many todo items left on my list and some items half
 done, but we didn't have enough time to finish them all.  Sorry.


 Echo
 

 No definitive software solution yet.  A way to improve it is:

 control.4 Speaker Playback Volume in
 /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state

 the max value is 127, 95 works best on my neo.  With volume level 3 or
 4 in qtopia dialer, the other side can only hear a minor trace of echo
 while I get good audio quality.

 You are lucky - my case is somewhat funnier - I've purchased the Neo

received package is missed stylus and SD card. After contacting TrueBox 
support service I've got sequentally 3 different answers :

 1. The styluses are gifts from OpenMoko and probably OpenMoko stoped
their delivery
 2. Laser pens is illegal in my country (I'm living in Ukraine - they are
legal)
 3. They proposed to contact delivery company (UPS) and ask why there are
missing things in package.

 The SD card I have to buy locally, this rare kind of stylus I can't. So I

Re: qwerty keyboard

2008-12-11 Thread Will Siddall
Hey Tony,
One thing you my consider would be try install the
'illume-keyboards-terminal' (found here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Keyboard_Debate#How_to_install_the_illume_.28Raster.27s.29_keyboard_.3F).
 If you install the 'illume-config-illume' package, you will also be
able to choose your default keyboard as well.

This is what I've been using a lot and it comes with three keyboards
you can flip between.  An 'intelli-type' keyboard (which is alright
for SMS') and a matching numbers/symbols keyboard and then a terminal
keyboard which is a tiny keyboard to be typing any kind of terminal
commands with, but it's still useful.

Until we can get any significant change in using the accelerometers to
automatically rotate the interface and give us a bigger keyboard, this
is what's available.

 Hi,
 
 I'm using Android/Freerunner built by following the instructions

 That is, I'm using a system image from Koolu, and the kernel from 
 andy-tracking.
 Everything looks good until now. However, I can't configure Wi-Fi and 
 Bluetooth with it. I wanted to key in each password for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
 When I tried to configure them, the keyboard invoked by the menu button 
 wasn't activated because the configuration windows (asking for 
 passwords) were positioned at the top-most layer.
 
 How can I use the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth? Could you give me a hand?

First, please don't cross-post this type of question to multiple lists, 
and it's best to prefix your subject line with [android] to make it easy 
for people to filter.

You're right that Rui's keyboard doesn't yet work with modal dialogs in 
Android, like those the Settings app uses for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 
configuration. One workaround is to install qad-keyboard.apk, available 
at http://code.google.com/p/netgents/downloads/list. With that keybaord 
you can compose your text, hit the OK button to copy it to the 
clipboard, then launch the dialog and use Android's long-press paste 
menu to paste it into the field.

Having said all that, wi-fi doesn't seem to work with the current 
source. Scanning has never worked, and while with one of Sean's earlier 
builds if you entered your SSID into settings it would connect, that no 
longer seems to work. I've played with a bit and haven't come up with a 
solution.

I don't have a bluetooth device to try with it. You can try the keyboard 
trick above and see how it works for you.

Best wishes,

Re: [android] How can I configure WLAN and Bluetooth on Android/Freerunner

2008-12-11 Thread Radek Polak

 You're right that Rui's keyboard doesn't yet work with modal dialogs in 
 Android, like those the Settings app uses for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 
 configuration. One workaround is to install qad-keyboard.apk, available 
 at http://code.google.com/p/netgents/downloads/list. With that keybaord 
 you can compose your text, hit the OK button to copy it to the 
 clipboard, then launch the dialog and use Android's long-press paste 
 menu to paste it into the field.

   
I am using notepad to write the desired text. Long press on the text then
invokes menu with Copy all option. Text box on modal dialog has after
long press Paste option.

 Having said all that, wi-fi doesn't seem to work with the current 
 source. 
Works for me if i enter the ssid manualy. I am using the Qi to boot and
kernel+rootfs from sean's download page. My wifi is not encrypted.

Cheers
Radek

Re: top bar clock in testing

2008-12-11 Thread William Kenworthy
The themes are in set in /etc/enlightenment/default_profile

The actual files are in /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/

You could try just renaming the edj? (I have not tried it)

The spanner tool has a theme change, but it seems to require deleting
the .e directory to work properly after changing to asu and back.

I just restart the xserver - but eventually a reboot is needed as power
drain (dont know where its going) gets rather large(and the FR hot).
Mind you, building edje files and changing things around makes it work
hard anyway.

 is an xserver restart enough, or does it need a full reboot?
 
 and is there a method for swapping themes without moving .edj files
 around, i.e. a config option somewhere?

Change to the illume theme - instructions on the wiki

To stop the other kb's from appearing unexpectedly:
opkg list_installed|grep keyboard.

Uninstall the numbers and default - leave only the terminal one.  I cant
be more specific as I have already done so!

You will get an occasional flash as it tries to switch, but it comes
back with the terminal.

Downside is if you go back to asu, you dont have a keyboard - no great
loss as with the standard keyboard its unusable anyway.  This may be
fixable, but I have not looked further.

Probably because it's updating dropbear and you aren't using screen or

see if it keeps upgrading.

instead of playing with system files from packages... you can just put your

asu theme  i think makes your config spanner non-functional that's why. :( btw

 I just restart the xserver - but eventually a reboot is needed as power

 Mind you, building edje files and changing things around makes it work

  For me, personally, a fully open-source ADSL router would be more

  any arbitrary ADSL router I'm sure I could find something about it I
  don't quite like, for some certain obscure configuration. The Wanadoo
  Livebox has, for instance, a USB port, which would allow you to run a
  print server on it or BitTorrent to an external hard-drive (like the
  Asus WL-700gE). But you can't because it's bleedin' closed.
  Out of curiosity, what's the main benefit in having a hackable ADSL
  router? Outside of consolidating router and modem?
 
  Consolidating router  modem is good enough for me.
  :)
 
  I don't want the extra box cluttering up my trendy designer apartment
  *cough*.

~1x4x2 is hardly taking up a lot of space. One unit, two units, the
corner of my apartment wouldn't look discernably different either way.

  I've always bridged and considered an ADSL modem to be a transparent
  device whilst using OpenWRT on routers to perform all required
  networking and authentication.
 
  I've never done that - it'll be the approach I take when I go ADSL2
  (hopefully soon), but wasn't the obvious way to do things when I got
  my last router (perhaps as much as 6 years ago, now).
 
  I have to say, I don't entirely trust a cheap ADSL modem used in this
  way. I kinda feel that it adds another level of potential confusion 
  troubleshooting for me, as an administrator. There's a problem with
  incoming packets being dropped - is it in the modem or the router? And
  the ADSL router must, as things stand, be closed source.
 
  I certainly see this as flawed compared to having the one device
  doing the whole job. And from a hardware point of view you're doubling
  everything in having separate ethernet router  ADSL modem - I put
  the last in quotes because all the external ethernet ADSL modems I've
  seen contain enough hardware to do routing, they just have a crippled
  firmware.

I agree for the most part and I'd definitely be happy to see an ADSL
modem that _is_ open. From experience, even the cheapest modems have
performed almost flawlessy when bridged. What problems I've encountered
have nearly always been telco related. I admit that access to the modem
at a lower level may enable me to diagnose this properly or harvest more
detailed statistics but as it stands, aliasing a static IP on the wan
interface to allow me to ssh and map the web management interface port
locally does all I need, including rebooting the modem and/or router.

Another 'from experience', a lot of ADSL/wireless/router combo units
have been prone to heat issues due to the number of heat generating
components. Although strapping a fan to the top has fixed the problem,
I've avoided them as much as possible since. This may not be as much of
a concern now with current offerings.

  Now if Openmoko were to create an OpenWRT compatible router with
  stupid
  amounts of storage space, awesome wireless range, a screaming CPU ...
 
  I'm not an expert on home ethernet routers - from my naive point of
  view there's little very new about that.

OK, well ... from the home router consumer perspective, there'd be
little benefit. But when you're knocking up wirless hotspots and
multi-site VPNs, obtaining a consistent unit from a supplier can be a
pain. Currently units vary greatly betwen models and even minor
revisions. It's not uncommon to have to break warranty on day one by
flashing the firmware or replacing the wireless module with something
more linux appropriate. Without building your own, this is unavoidable.

  ... currently consumer routers
  (I use the Asus WL-500GP and WL-500W) are less than optimal, but do
  the
  job.
 
  Out of curiosity, could you give me a quick run-down of their failings?

Warranty for intended use is the main one. Storage space would be
second, with CPU speed coming third. Ideally, hardware that is based
more around supported linux drivers would be good.

Storage space quickly runs low when the maximum out there tends to be
32MB. I have a habit of using things that require quite a few libraries.
tcpdump, nmap, openvpn and various other facilities. If you expand on
that with asterix, transparent proxying, qos, smb redirection, blah blah
... then an external drives becomes mandatory.

With all that processing (specifically asterix), a faster CPU would be
useful, the WRTs tend to handle 4 simultaneous calls OK.

Currently I tend to stick with ASUS, the wl-500w with three antenna
seems to deliver at this point. I still have to switch out the broadcom
module for an athereos one however (2.6 kernel related more so), if I
want to be able to do site

Re: [Android] Converting a brick into a phone

2008-12-11 Thread Steve Mosher
The Buzz is introduced into the Neo mic. ( Rf enters the mixer, and you 
will see a ripple on the DC coming out to the mic) consequently the far 
end of the call may hear a buzz.

There are two potential fixes: The rework Joerg is drafting ( adding a 
CAP) smooths the ripple and theoretically attenuates the buzz. I think 
you may see some loss in mic sensitivity so a minor adjustment to the 
mic sensitivity ( via ALSA states) may be in order.

Another fix would be to address the root cause and prevent the RF
from entering the mixer. This change is more substantial and requires a
layout change. It would involve adding some beads, changing the mic,
and minor mechanical changes to the case.

My preferred path is to test out the simple fix detailed in Joergs
document as that fix can easily be applied ( the theory goes) to devices
in the field.

Re: Crackly Calls and Battery Tips! A5/A6 rework. Corrected URL

I'm going to talk to the guys at work tomorrow and show them the rework PDF
- we are equipped to make this fix, could probably offer it inexpensively
to those nearby (southeastern North Carolina) or those willing to ship.
(among other things - like security systems and internet services - we
repair handheld radios and wireless broadband networking gear, including
replacing BGAs and more mundane SMD components)  I'm betting we have the
resistors on hand, would probably need to order a hundred or so of the
caps.  I'll post back here if the answer is positive.  We're located in
Hamlet NC, near Ft Bragg, but we're gearing up to offer repairs nationwide
for specific wireless networking gear, so shipping and processing of
customer repair items in/out is forthcoming anyway, this is just a
different board with a much simpler fix to be performed, I'm just not sure
they'll be interested in offering it as inexpensively as I'd like.

Re: Bad Customer support from Truebox.com about a Broken Battery

The standard package does not come with a stylus or a SD card.

For the first few months of sales we shipped the laser stylus and the 
512MB card as gifts or extras for single pack purchases.

Subsequently we substituted a regular stylus as opposed to the Laser 
Stylus/pen/pointer and stopped shipping the 512MB cards as they are
difficult to source.

check the green label on the box exterior. It should have the proper box 
contents.
