Hi everyone. I've used QTExtended quite a lot, here's my two cents :

I have to say that it's really efficient once you get used to it. > > The bad things: > * I get SMSes more than one time in the inbox, and there's > problems with SMSes in the trash > * Sometimes it's acting weirdly and I have to restart > QtExtended (it's faster than just rebooting), and sometimes > the phone think it's charging when it's not even plugged in > (so it doesn't sleep...) This charging status bug is probably the biggest showstopper currently : if you poweroff your phone or restart it, it won't be able to go into sleep mode until you have plugged it once.. And your battery will die quite fast. > The "I don't like" things: > * I don't really like the "kinetic" scrolling The idea behind is very neat (it's more natural) but it's a bit too slow to be actually useable > * Using a word file in my language would allow me to use the handwriting more successfully Given your name, i suspect that you are french. Have a look here : http://openmoko-fr.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=181 For non-french readers, http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Keyboard_Debate#Installing_the_words.dawg_file > * I think that my SD card (the one that came with the phone) > is broken, the phone can't recognize it, my laptop can't > either, and if it's plugged in, the SIM doesn't work > > The "more than just a phone" things: > * I don't really like the music player > * The GPS doesn't work > * I was not able to configure GPRS and MMS I was able to configure gprs, and opkg update throught it. Quick steps : configure from the settings/internet gui. Then you need to correct the link /etc/resolv.conf, which points to /etc/ppp/resolv.conf (erroneus). Change it to -> /var/ppp/resolv.conf (grep in /etc/ppp to find the script which makes the link) and you should be fine). I also had to change the phone number in the ppp config file (you can't change it from the gui). Last tip, if your phone provider doesn't need a login/password, put '*' in each field. About mms : i had a talk with Lorn, and in fact there is currently no wap browser. So, no mms. > > I'm back to my old phone now, but for me it's definitively > improving, I'm waiting for 4.4.3/4.4.4. +1 _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
