In the Settings app, go to the Phone section, and there is a GSM on/off slider at the top.
My SIM contact issue started from the day I got my phone. My original SIM didn't work, so I left it in my old phone until I could research which SIM I needed. Once I knew, I went to the AT&T store and got my new SIM, which worked immediately. I was restarting my phone fairly often with new distributions, and the SHR distro seemed to be the only one that had the problem. It wouldn't register, so I'd reboot again and again, then I'd shut it down, re-seat the SIM card, and boot again... this time it found the network with no problem. That pattern repeated every time I had to restart my FR. Then recently I started thinking a little more about the problem, and I can always get "SOS Only" mode, so I started thinking maybe it's that the SIM isn't registering before the GSM daemon times out. I never tried to restart the GSM antenna before this version of SHR, so I don't know if previous versions have the same slider. -Laura _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
