Re: New Phone Project (MiniMoko) : Which functionalities ?
Hello Gregoire, I'm Thomas, the one who sent an email to Alexandre for finding a way to work together. First, a really big ThankYou for responding directly here, everyone is happy to see that A.I. is a company near of its (future) consumers. This project is very exciting and a lot of people are ready to help on it. I think your idea of a childboard is one of the best way to follow, we could add a little slice of the MiniBook, fitting everything we want inside, without reinventing the wheel. (Yours is really cool!). So for starting to create such an addon, would it be possible to have some extra infos on the MID ? (Schemas, wiring diagrams or so ? ) The analysis of the MID board pictures helps a lot, but with those documents, we won't have to spend time doing reverse engineering ;-). I have a last question : When will it be possible to get first MiniBooks ? If we had one, it can be usefull for starting the job. Thanks again for your answer, your products, and your open mind.

[qtmoko] pim import
Hello. During these days I'm trying to import/export pim data to/from qtmoko, but I've some problems. I've deleted all the contacts from the sim card, deleted them all from addressbook on sqlite db, and then imported a vcard file. The import looks successful, but after rebooting/unmounting the battery or the sim card, my addressbook looks full of duplicated entries, and those duplicates are not an exact copy of another record: the family name is cut after the 4th character, and among the different fields, only the telephone numbers appear, no email, address, category, etc. Weird to say, not all the original contacts have been duplicated (anyway they are the greatest part). How can I avoid getting all these duplicated records? Second issue: is there a way to import ical data into the calender and/or the todo of qtmoko? If yes, how?

soldering tutorial, was: Re: [Shr-User] uSD hosed, on every unstable.
make model micro soldering tutorials? i would really really like to fix this if i can. I think the size should be the same of the one needed for the buzz fix... about soldering eee... good luck! :P I made my buzz fix and it was a pain in the a**hole! [0) check your pcb and verify you still have the traces where you'll put the new resistor because maybe you ripped the metal out] 1) remove the board from all the plastic case 2) firmly fix it to a solid table with an adhesive tape 3) do not drink alcohol and keep calm ;) 4) use the sharpest newer soldering tool, 25W-30W 5) put a _little_ of alloy on the little squares of the pcb 6) put the resistor in place and keep it _gently_ pushing down with a small tool, like the point of a pin or similar (gently, otherwise you make it jump away!) 7) take your iron and pick up some but _little_ fresh alloy on the tip and then melt it on the first side of the resistor 8) do the other side of the resistor 9) verify that your resistor is firmly in place and you haven't leaked the alloy around and check any short-circuit the size is really tiny, so good luck and don't panic! you can put your resistor in any direction, it hasn't +/- polarity. be quick with the iron on your components otherwise you'll fry them! no more than 2-3 sec. you can cool down the components and do another try little later. I suggest you to use the eutectic alloy because it's easier to use on this hard size -- ALFA21 IS PROVIDED AS IS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
