Hi, I'm using SHR-Unstable as my daily phone, it works but there are some things that bug me, mostly I can live with or work around them. It occurs to me other people might have better work arounds so I thought I'd post my current list and see what happens:
Wifi ===== It seems reliable with the WPA2 networks I use it with but I can't seem to turn it off in SHR-settings and once I've connected to a network I can't reconnect to any network without rebooting. (I know there's work going on in the kernel relating to this). Workaround: After I've finished using wifi, I always reboot the phone so that next time I want to connect, it works Midori ======= Aside from the superuser-warning banner (which will be gone in the next release), the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F11 for full screen) aren't available in Literki. There's a config file for accelerator keys (~/.config/midori/accels) but it seems to get overwritten every time it loads Workaround: Live without those keys (Hmm... I ought to try write protecting the file) Dictator ======== The version in the repositories seems to just record crackling if I try and record my voice - this used to work. Watching videos =============== I'd like to watch videos on my FR. I've encoded it using the command listed in the video playback section of: http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Customize But with mplayer-video the sound and pictures become out of sync. I've not tested it with intone-video from opkg.org as there's a clash with the updated versions of the elementary libraries Ringtones ========= I've altered my default ringtones to 8bit mono so they are quicker to load and to stop. Vagalume in the repo/image ========================== It crashes Workaround: Use the one from opkg.org Hum in landscape ================ When the phone is in landscape mode (really useful when typing with Literki) there's a quiet but persistent hum. Notifier ======== It pops up to tell me I have an unread message but the messages app has already popped up to tell me that. (There was a request for comments on the shr-devel mailing list but I wasn't comfortable commenting there as I'm not currently developing anything). Navit ====== In the repos it takes a lot of configuring to: * show an icon in Illume * Stop its dependencies blocking sound on resume * finding the libraries it needs * configuring the UI * making the speech happen far enough in advance for car use Workaround: I've foolishly lost my highly tweaked config, when I've finished reworking it, I'll post it somewhere Scummvm ======= The keyboard doesn't show up so you can't type a filename to save your game unless I'm missing something. (You need to turn off sound in Scummvm or it crashes before you can start to play). I guess you need a bluetooth keyboard Messaging/Contacts app ==================== Sometimes I can't seem to enter text into the textarea that has focus if I've recently changed focus. It sometimes stops me typing a number into a new contact Workaround: I add a contact by typing a number into the dialer and then saving it. I think that's all the ones I can think off for now.
