Re: Selling Freerunner - London
I've had requests for more information, so some pictures have been uploaded to: http://www.shockinggrey.com/tiki/tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=2 * The buzz fix has been applied * Earphones, charger, carry case, stylus, new battery (supplied with buzz fix) and original box are included * 2GB Micro SD card included * £172 * SHR installed, but I'm assuming anyone who buys this will be comfortable flashing the device with which ever distro they want, that is the most fun part.

Selling Freerunner - London
All, Unfortunately I don't really have time for my Freerunner anymore. This was one of the coolest devices I've ever had the opportunity to use, but it's depressing having it gather dust in the corner while someone could actually be using it. Before I put it on eBay I was wondering if anyone in London is looking to buy a Freerunner (Recently returned from a holiday in Germany where it had the Buzz Fix applied)?

Re: Learning with flashcards - granule
Hi there, I found it, but I haven't been able to test it on my Freerunner, because I'm testing android on it at the moment. You can grab it here in the next 24 hours (remember that I did warn you about the changes not being pretty): http://pastebin.com/d3b742c7f The format for the card files are as follows: word/question : answer : pronunciation/other notes Let me know how it goes. ezuall On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 8:30 AM, Johan Badenhorst ezu...@gmail.com wrote: Pander, I'll have to have a dig for the code, it won't be pretty, as I stitched it together for a quick overview of Italian before a trip last year.

Re: Bluetooth headsets to the rescue
Thank you for the feedback Steve, Please note that this was never meant to be an attack on Openmoko, just a question that was nagging me for a while there. I really meant what I said when saying I am a fanboy. Now I have nothing left to winge about, and I've used up my last questions. Am I happy now? Yes, just the feedback is enough. I don't ask questions so people can say what I want to hear, I ask them for the real answers, and that's what you gave us.

Re: Bluetooth headsets to the rescue
Hi again, I can tell that these e-mails of mine will either age-out like so many regarding this issue have in the past, or the community will get upset because of my constant and irritating questioning. Would it be worth while to start a petition for the official fix in the wiki (As I said in the past this is not to force a fix into existence, only to get official word on whether it will ever be available)? That way I can stop filling up your inboxes with e-mails that you are probably already tired of.

Re: Bluetooth headsets to the rescue
Great feedback everybody, I have no doubts regarding the community's dedication to solutions to this issue. And I really appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing. That said, I'm not going to stop asking for final word on the official fix. If it is possible and practical it will be provided, if not Openmoko should just say: Listen guys, we're sorry that thing's didn't work out, but the fix just aint happening, it's DIY or nothing.

Buzz Issues - Last Questions, I promise
All, First thing I want to apologise for crossposting, I tried popsting this in the hardware section, then realised I was not a subscriber to that mailing list. Maybe that post will not go through, in which case it won't matter. Here we go. Speaking as a fanboy of the Freerunner and everything Openmoko does I can't help but be disheartened by the fact that the noise on my Neo is still preventing me from using it as a phone. Lately I've hardly used it at all, because it kind of feels like it will never be fixed and I get depressed when I look at it. Seeing as I have been offline for a bit regarding the freerunner I may have missed any new information about the fix, so in case I've got it all wrong please point me in the right direction. I've had it for more than half a year now, and the progress made on so many levels is great. I love the freedom and all the different distros. So two questions: 1. Will there ever be an official fix from Openmoko/Truebox/WhicheverSupplierYouBoughtItFrom. By fix I don't mean just instructions on how to do-it-yourself, but a route for non-soldering users to get the fix applied. If not, just say so, I don't want to wait and hope if there will be no change. 2. Has anyone in London applied this fix succesfully? I'd be willing to pay to get this sorted. I feel like one of those moaning idiots on the mailing lists that I usually hate, but I just need this clarified. ezuall -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Buzz-Issues---Last-Questions%2C-I-promise-tp2509041p2509041.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Buzz Issues - Last Questions, I promise
@All: Thank you for the responses, I've asked similar questions with no response. @Paul: Bluetooth is one of the options I have been considering, and it's good to know that it may be just around the corner for me. @David: Thank you for the links, I did read some posts about the buzz fix party, and I love the idea. This is great news, but only if you happen to be in the right country. I appreciate openmoko's involvement, but this isn't an official fix. That being said, the fact that users are able to do the fix is one of the empowering things of Open Source Software/Hardware, and why I still don't see any better alternatives to the Freerunner out there (when it comes to open philosophy and community involvement). @Risto: I agree, I'm happy for them too, but would like to be happy for me before my Freerunner's 1 year anniversary. And finally I just want to say that I really am a supporter of Openmoko. I followed the project for more than a year before finally getting my hands on a Freerunner as soon as I was able to after the release.

Re: Is there an echo-free distro?

Re: Is there an echo-free distro?
Thanks for pointing me at SHR unstable. I tried SHR in December, but this time my first 2 calls have been echo free, so that is good.

Re: Is there an echo-free distro?
Hi all, I've tried most of the distributions and patches that are echo free and nothing has worked sofar except when I configure the volume so low that you can hardly hear a thing. One thing that makes troubleshooting this issue so tricky is the fact that the echo is experienced by the person on the other side of the phone and there is no way to verify whether there is an echo from the Freerunner itself. Would it be possible and what would be the steps involved in creating an application to check whether the echo problem is present? Since the echo is caused by the audio path inside the Neo there has to be some way to verify and display the magnitude of the echo locally.

[FSO] Re: Freerunner's GSM Calypso Modem Firmware Upgrade...
Great news, I got myself a 3-mobile sim(UK) a while ago for testing the Neo, but that never worked. Now because I had another sim for my primary phone I didn't worry too much about it, but giving that upgrading firmware for a GSM modem sounded awfully cool I thought I'd give it a go (moko10b2). The instructions on the wiki worked like a charm, and I got all the output as predicted. I'm running M4 at the moment, but from memory with 2008.x and qt Extended I got something like No Sim Inserted in the past. This has now changed to Failed to read authentication status. Is this a step in the right direction, or does M4 just have more robust error notification?

Send Key Press Event
All, I have been playing with the accelerometers in my Neo as many of you probably have (while eagerly waiting for the GSM noise interference and Voice echo problems to be resolved ;-) ) and I have run up against a problem. I want to send keypress events to the device (using python), but I can't seem to find any information on this. Maybe I am missing something really obvious, but I have been scouring the web with no luck thus far. So if anyone could tell me how to achieve this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks On a side note: The Nokia N800 connection management and browser is really pretty cool, are these parts of it proprietry or is there some other reason they can't be used on the Neo? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Send-Key-Press-Event-tp832415p832415.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Openmoko on Design
Potential, that is the first word that comes to mind when I think about and play with my freerunner. I spent months absolutely obsessively waiting for the release, but when I first received it I was afraid. The gps issue was all over the mailing list and I was thinking that things weren't working out exactly as I wanted. It is embarrassing that it took me some time to recover from that initial shock (3 days) and to realise that what I held was truly open. Deep down I knew it wouldn't arrive in my hands perfect, but that is the point. One closed device can never be perfect for everyone. Only through customisation and expansion can each one of us make the device perfect for him/herself. And we need not do this in isolation, when we do something cool we can share it, and then others have the *choice* to implement this feature/gimmick/personalisation on their own device, in their own way. I have grown accustomed to companies telling me what looks pretty and how things should work and that is part of what scares me. There is no excuse not to make the freerunner behave exactly the way I want it to. To start settling into the freerunner I flashed ASU (using VMware) this weekend and was amazed at how easy it is to customise. Changed the icons, created new launcher items and linked these to plain-old shell scripts to connect to my home network etc. Installed vte terminal, changed the font size, to summarise: Nothing ground breaking yet, but I did it the way I wanted to and there is a lot of potential.
