Getting deleted SMS back / Freerunner as a card reader?
Hi, A friend of mine asked if he could get some accidentally deleted text messages back from his SIM card - so I started looking into how a SIM works and how to communicated with it. It seems that there's no AT-commands which will give you deleted messages - right? If AT+CMGR or similar will get you a deleted message, than that's of course the easy solution. I can see that there's several mobile forensic products on the market which seems to be just smart card readers with the right software. I have a smart card reader, but I have not tested if it takes SIM cards (or RUIM cards ... have to find out), but I figured, that another easy solution was to access the card-reader directly in the FreeRunner if the hardware allowed for that. So, can the SIM card in a FreeRunner be accessed like a card reader on a serial interface? /Peter PS: Any other solutions are welcome, btw :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[QtExtended] Screen Lock - Suspend
Hello, I'm using the Neo Freerunner with Qt Extended 4.4.2 (http://moko.mwester.net/download/uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin + http://other.lastnetwork.net/OpenMoko/qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-release-working-with-SystemRingTones.jffs2) as my daily phone. Carrying the FR in a pocket, the screen lock application is well suited to avoid unintentional phone calls etc. BUT it will still allow the display be turned on, since the touchscreen will be touched all the time in a pocket. And carrying the FR in your pocket with a highlighted display might not be the best prerequisite for a long operating time. The On Battery Power Management settings (after booting it seems to be always be Plugged in, but that's another story) Dim light, Display off and Suspend won't get activated (or only for a short time) unless you wait with the FR in your hand. The key+lock looks fancy, but it might be more functional to turn off the display (or even suspend) after the lock and keep the display turned off, when touching a certain pattern on the screen (or the Power button with suspend). (On the desktop, the screensaver was a screen/energy saver once, but sometimes uses more CPU cycles than a working computer today...) The screen lock application seems not to support a password protection. For a touchscreen device, the password entry should maybe be replaced with a secret gesture or pattern (maybe like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)), but I don't see the necessity for such a feature, since the FR shouldn't be accessible by someone else. (And if it's stolen the protection is too weak without crypto FS etc anyways). I still didn't find the button combination to suspend yet. Suspending the FR manually after use, I would't need a screen lock application any more. Is there a replacement application, just to initiate a suspend? (But I'm also not sure, if I can trust the suspend mode, since I once noticed a missed call with the FR being suspended.) What button combination will initiate suspend for FR/Qt Extended? (Power button will show a menu with Restart Qt Extended, Restart Device, Shutdown Qt Extended, Shutdown Device, but no Suspend Device and the AUX button will bring me to the Task Manager Favorites) (How) Can I customize the screen lock application to do the job? (Didn't find this entry in the configuration section.) Thanks, Martin P.S.: Where can I find more Qt Extended documentation other than the Help-application installed and the FAQs at http://qtextended.org/modules/xoopsfaq/ (BTW http://qtextended.org/modules/xoopsfaq/index.php?cat_id=3#33 link is broken), http://trolltech.com/developer/faqs/qtopia or http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/ (which is for developers) (How about a section Further documentation at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_/_Qt_Extended_on_FreeRunner?) -- Martin Bernreuther martinb...@web.de ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Dear all, 2008 has been an exciting year for all Openmoko well wishers with the release of the Freerunner and the development of a vibrant, skilled and independent minded community ;-). On behalf of IDA Systems I would like to wish all of you a very happy new year and a prosperous 2009. Due to favorably EURO-Rupee conversion, from 1st January we are reducing the price of the Freerunner for buyers in Asia (excluding India) and Australia. The new price is *EURO 299 inclusive of shipping by UPS*. Till stocks last this price includes the extra headphones and pouch. We are also providing an extra battery as a gift with this offer in January. (Please note that we will ship to Europe at the offer prices but we do not have the infrastruture to provide warranty support in these regions so you may be better of purchasing from a local distributor) In India the price remains Rs 22000/- inclusive of VAT/CST and insured shipping by Bluedart (because of the taxes we pay while making a sale in the country) but we will be including an extra battery as a gift with all orders in January. We will also be anouncing few more offers in the 2nd week of January for purchases by educational institutions.

June: we and our partner Trisoft take first orders July: we receive the first batch of GTA02v5 devices and were sold out before we could even sign reception of the packages August-September: still a long waiting list; GTA02v6 devices with the GPS fix arrive October: we present the Freerunner to the professional public on the SYSTEMS fair in Munich November-December: the Freerunner gains new momentum by FDOM, hackable, Android, 2008.12! In total we have provided you, the community with 10 times as many units as we had anticipated.

Re: Performance Issues using Neo wifi and WPA2
2008/12/30 john dowd jdowds...@gmail.com: The Neo registers (using linphone) with the PBX and I can see the registration happening but then there is a REQUEST NOTIFY coming from the PBX to linphone. Linphone responds with a 481: Subscription does not exist. I've attached this interaction in the tcpdump formatted file and I'm hoping someone would look at it. What I think is happening is that the PBX is actually informing linphone that there are some voicemail messages waiting but linphone does not support this feature and does not know what to do with this part of the protocol. I haven't looked at the tcpdump, however... This 481 response suggests that linphone's default behaviour is only to accept NOTIFY requests that conform to RFC 3265, i.e. which refer to a previously established subscription. SIP voicemail message notifications, on the other hand, are often done with a pre-RFC-3265 form of NOTIFY, where there is no prior subscription. This kind of NOTIFY can be known as unsolicited, out of dialog or out of subscription, and the voicemail context is usually called MWI, for messages waiting indication. So, suggest you google and/or check linphone's man page / docs for support for some of those terms, and a way to switch that support on.

External battery charger
Hello all, Hope somebody can help: I perpetrated the cardinal sin to let my FR battery run completely empty, so now I cannot boot up to charge the battery. I have purchased a generic external charger (meant for Nokia batteries, same form-factor as the FIC battery), but it does not charge the FIC battery (I have read on the WIKI that most external chargers are useless, but I decided to take a calculated risk...). I received a generic 600mA battery (half the FIC's capacity) with the charger, and that seems to work OK with my FR (apart from the battery level checking that does not work). At least I can boot my FR with the generic battery in order to do some development/playing... It seems that it is quite important to have more than one battery handy if you want to use the FR for anything serious at the moment, due to the really bad battery life(a lot better now with 2008.12 which lasts almost 20 hours, with FDOM I could barely get 6 hours...). I'm seriously considering buying two extra FIC batteries, but then it becomes an important item to have an external charger that works. If anybody here knows of a working model that is available within Europe/UK, I would appreciate it immensely if you could let me know the make/model and where to purchase. The battery life situation is actually the very last item in my mind that will keep the FR out of mainstream use, the available software stacks all have the basic capability to address all usability issues (GPRS/GSM et al). TangoGPS is fantastic! ;-) In the meantime, is there any (non-destructive) way to coax the FR into life with the flat battery, so that I can charge it?

Re: External battery charger
Or with a recent uboot - plug into usb and wait for 10-15 minutes. Remove usb and battery for 30 seconds, plug back in and it should bootup. You may need to remove/replug the usb to make sure its charging properly once up. USB defaults to 100ma, not enough to boot the FR, but it will tricklecharge it when off until enough of a charge exists to boot - once past the intial boot stage, the CPU negotiates the full 500ma and all is fine.

Radek thank you very much for this post. I was able to try the Android; very interesting. Having the SD card version was a great help. I like the real clock faces especially. I will try your further suggestions if I get some spare time, by then it may all be different..

You will need SD with one ext3 partition. Download and unpack tarball from here [1] and boot with Qi [2]. First boot take quite a lot of time. Then it will be faster. You can also compile from sources [3] and put the rootfs together yourself. You just have to put together what is in out/target/product/freerunner directory and add kernel (either the Sean's [4] or andy tracking[5]). I have attached my script which does this [6]. Last this is to modify init.rc file so that it mounts SD card, you can find it attached or here [7]. While Android boots or later you can attach to it with adb like this: ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 adb kill-server adb shell adb logcat I hope this helps us with killing bugs that Android on FR currently has (suspend, power off, GSM crashes, ...)
