Hi there, It looks like my problem with SIM registration [1] may be easily solvable simply by trying a different SIM or reseating the current one.
But because I'm fetishistic about following battery charging instructions I don't want to try this (which requires removing the battery) until the unit is fully charged. The wiki [2] says: The battery can be charged using the provided charger (at 1000mA) or from a powered USB port capable of providing 500mA worth of current. Most computers will be able to charge the FreeRunner without any problems. Charging at 100mA takes 6-12 hours and at 500mA takes 1-2 hour I understood the provided charger was a dumb one and that - because the Freerunner is unable to communicate with it - an unpowered USB connection would be assumed, the Freerunner would act conservatively, only drawing 100mA. Which is correct, please? I decided to try forcing the Freerunner to fast-charge, and a little Googling found me the CheckFastCharge-script on the Wiki [3]. Reading checkFastCharge.py I find that it checks '/sys/devices/ platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0008/chgmode' and that fast charging is indicated by "fast_cccv" there. Presumably this script was written for the Neo1973, however, or a different kernel, as on my Freerunner the location is '/sys/devices/ platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/chgmode' and it currently says "fast", not "fast_cccv" (or, for that matter, slow or anything like that). So is "fast" the correct syntax for the Freerunner's chgmode? Has it somehow detected that the charger is capable of 500+ mA? Or should I echo "fast_cccv" to that location? What are the correct '/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/ i2c-0/0-0073/chgmode' values for "slow" and no-charge for the Freerunner, please? (using the default factory image) Or is chgmode simply broken on the Freerunner's default factory image? TIA for any suggestions, Stroller.
