Hi guys, First off, I am terribly sorry for the delay. I was too busy with work of late. Anyways, I guess we need to plan on the dates and mode of transport of phones to NCR.
Till now, I know of only following people (through this mail chain): NCR: Gora Mohanty (1973) Vibhav Sharma (FR - ??) /me Vikas Saurabh (FR - A5) -- In for buzz fix in 1024....shaky about bass fix Bangalore: Shashank Bharadwaj (????) Alok G. Singh (????) Ganesh Krishna (????) ?????: Chetan Chandel (????) I am unsure if 1973 also needs hardware mods...but I still took the liberty to include Gora. This number is very small as compared to 150 (number of FRs that Rakshat said have been sold in India)...is there anyone else? I wanted to all this in wiki but I don't think we are still planned enough to update http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/BuzzFixParty Regarding the fixes, there are basically 3 hardware mods: * Buzz fix - the whole point of starting the program * 1024 recamping fix - there is a lot of re-registration thereby reducing the battery time * Bass fix - probably, the FR circuitry cuts off certain frequencies thereby reducing quality audio output Further reading: 1024:: Re: The "trivial" #1024 GSM fix --> What you need is 0805 ceramic capacitor, 22uF, 6.3V (or more). fixing bug #1024 successful reports? --> And using ceramic cap is recommended because low ESR is needed and electrolitic caps can't provide that. If you connect your electrolitic cap in parallel with the original one (as you did) then you're probably ok but nevertheless i recommend to use ceramic. Also shield itself is connected to the GND plane so i wouldn't go that far for a ground. Bug #1024 (oscillating re-camping), a possible solution --> The other solution is to remove C1009 and replace it with a 22 uF capacitor. Daniel Willmann has done this successfully with a few phones. http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/hardware/attachments/20090525/d968961a/attachment-0001.jpeg Bass fix:: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_bass_fix --> One from Paul Ferster seems promising, the other one doesn't(can't) use the 100uF cuz of the size https://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/gta02-core/2009-August/000366.html --> describes which capacitor is good and why --Vikas PS: I think we can start off with getting ready for delivering FR (from Bang...anywhere else???). I guess Zoheb would be right person to streamline this process!! _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
