 Can someone with admin access to the list machine send me the SMTP

 I don't have access there, but I can fill in part of the puzzle.  

 At least one of the opemoko machines at 88.198.124.203 opens an smtp
 connection back to the sending domain to verify the sender address of
 any incoming message.  The smtp-back machine has messed up DNS.  The
 claimed rDNS for that IP is openmoko.org but the forward DNS check
 for that openmoko.org doesn't list 88.198.124.203 as a valid
 address.  If the sending machine is checking for spammers claiming a
 bunk DNS name will reject 88.198.124.203's SMTP verify.  The opemmoko
 machine will then interpret that failed smtp verify attempt as the
 verified address not existing and will decline the initial incoming
 transfer.

 In short, folks really need to check the forward and backward DNS and
 make sure it is consistent, especially if that machine tries open an
 outgoing SMTP connection (such as the attempted verification).

That wouldn't cause duplicates.

You got a 550 error which means delivery was not attempted.

I'll repeat again because a lot of people are coming up with some kinda
wild answers.

Google mail was causing dupes within google mail -before- it talks to
any server outside of google mail.  I posted the smtp logs of a message
from one dupe chain that revealed this.  I compared it with two other
dupe chains and they both showed the same internal problem.

Regardless it appears to have been fixed as google emails are no longer
making dupe chains.

Charging the NEO1973

2007-07-12 Thread Tim Shannon

According to the wiki, charging the battery is always done through the USB
socket.  Does that mean that the NEO is only chargable from a computer, or
is there a USB cord that plugs into a wall socket included.  I don't know
about everyone else, but I want want to bring my NEO to places where I don't
want to lug around a computer

I suppose the alternative is to buy a powered USB hug, and plug that into
the wall, and the NEO into that.

I haven't received any email from these mailing lists since around
10:00 CEST on July 10.  The web archives, however, show several
messages since that time.  Could there be a problem with the list
server?  I checked my list subscriptions, which seem to all be correct
(mail enabled, digest off, etc.).  I also tried signing up two other
email accounts I have at a different domains, to see if it was a
problem with my ISP, but the subscription confirmation emails never
arrived.

Is anyone getting list mail delivered?  Is there a known problem with
the list server?  (Please send replies directly to me in addition to

Re: OPENMOKO.COM IS UP

2007-07-12 Thread Clayton Jones

I recieved an email that confirms that they received my order request
but there's an explicit statement saying that this does not mean they
have processed my order.

Have not recieved any confirmation of processing yet, but i'm thinking
they're doing this all by hand for this first batch and it'll take a
while.

One thing i'm worried about - my order number is  2000 which could
mean that over 2000 other orders were placed before mine (though it
could be they started the numbering at some arbitrary hi number).

If there's only 600 phones available right now, and there's really
2000 people ahead of me, I might as well wait for the GTA02 in
October

Have FIC and the OpenMoko team had any thoughts about what applications

Will it simply be the same core apps (i.e. the minimum needed to make it a 
usable phone) that come with GTA01 phones?

I completely understand not being able to buy two Neos.  You should go
to wiki.openmoko.org and look up MokoMakefile.  It will allow you to
build an qemu image to run the phone software on the desktop.  As far
as documents and how-to's go, most of us don't  have a phone yet, but
once we do more information should be available.  In the mean time

Bringing communications equipment into Australia

One of the guys on the SLUG (Sydney LUG) mailing list, found info that should 
answer some questions about using the Neo 1973 in Australia.

I am not an expert, but my take on this is that as long as the GSM modem is to 
international standards, then there is no problem. The fact that there is a 
phone built around it shouldn't matter. I can buy an RS232 attachable GSM modem 
and plug it into a Linux box to give me basically the same thing.

Hello community,

just want to ask whether anybody of you experienced the same.

I've checked on

Obviously I won't receive any answer from the list, as long as nothing

Yesterday I ordered 3 neo-base and 3 neo-advanced and was able to
finish all three steps. Just the confirmation mail is missing (I guess
reason is the same - not yet known - as for not receiving list mails).

Ignore what you've

handwriting recognition available.


Does this mean we could get this part (handwriting recognition) to
work on OpenMoko or even on something like an Ubuntu desktop ?


AFAIK: no.

Einstein is just (I really appreciate their work!) the Emulator.  
Handwriting is part of the Newton OS and I think you still need a

number. Does anybody know how can we receive an invoice for these 
phones, so we can exclude costs from our tax?
I'm responsible for ordering phones but I cannot do it until I know how 
to receive invoices. I wrote on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and even directly to

I guess since they send from the US to the EU, there is no VAT  
charged by the US tax authorities you could ask to get back.
It is not the point to get VAT back but to indicate what these  
devices came from. I will pay with company's money so it should be  
endicated where did this money go and what for. And that what the  
invoice is for. If they won't write our tax id number on it, the  
invoice will be invalid.


Ah I see. But what I recommend is to check if that is also required  
for imports from the US or if this rule is for local business only  
(within one country). I have never been asked to specify my VAT ID  
for any purchase (unless I want to have taxfree intra-community  
delivery).


And there is always the address of the origin written on the invoice  
- which is the US. So you have a proof where it came from. Your tax  
id written on the invoice wouldn't help IMHO.


For German Taxation rules they just must write their name, the  
country of origin and the money amount and what they did deliver 1  
unit OpenMoko. But not my tax ID - because I as the receiver don't  
necessarily have one. And for your import you will also get a  
separate receipt for any import duties you will have to pay.


They must only write my VAT ID if they would be shipping from  
*within* the EU *and* doing an intracommunity tax free delivery.  
But they ship from the US into the EU so IMHO this rule does not apply.

I have tried charging from other methods (generic cigarette-lighter to
mini usb, solar cell, crank charger) and none of them currently work
for fast charging. They may work for the slow charge, but the slow
charge is too slow to be useful.

The wiki says the neo could do a fast charging from these
non-host-computer usb ports by trying to pull 500mA when the host does
not respond for 30 seconds, but as of about a week ago, the
development image does not implement this trick.

I might cut open a usb cable and put in the pull-down resistor to see

Re: Charging the NEO1973

2007-07-12 Thread Steven Milburn

I wouldn't bother cutting  your cable.  Right now, the neo will only switch
to 500mA charging when it is successfully enumerated as a high-power
device.  The only way you'll get it to fast charge from a power-only source,
will be to change the software to something like you mentioned.  It
shouldn't need to take 30 seconds though.  Once the neo attempts enumeration
(by pulling up on D+ with a 1k resistor), the host should issue a usb reset
(single-ended zero) within 500ms.  If that doesn't happen, there is no host.

 Will it simply be the same core apps ( i.e. the minimum needed to make
 it a
 usable phone) that come with GTA01 phones?

 My apologies if this is the wrong list or if it has been discussed
 before
 (I read the archives of various OpenMoko lists to see if it has been
 discussed anywhere and didnt find anything)

 Pretty much depends on what the community writes I'd guess.

I'm a bit concerned that the community will have these GTA01 phones when

greater part of the community will only begin to write cool software for it 
after it gets released.

From this perspective it would make sense to me to keep selling GTA01 also 
after the release of GTA02 for all those moms and dads that a) don't need the 
new hardware b) don't know how to install the cool GTA02-only software when it 
becomes available and c) find the GTA01 more affordable..

Otoh, maybe you are doing just that..

Re: GTA02 Board only option in October?

But what are you guys planning on doing with the old board at that

just selling it when you get the new phone.  You should get a pretty 
good discount that way.  And that way there are more neos out there 
circulating and that's better for everyone.



At that time there will be absolutely no shortage - the current plan is 
for P1 to continue to be available right up to Oct, in as high a volume 
as is required. Even thousands/day.


Personally.
At that time, I'd reuse the Neo board into something.

Add a USB NIC and a USB power supply, and it's an audio streaming box, 
for example.


This is also for other reasons.
Spares.
If I screw my 01/02 by trying to solder it, I want to buy another PCB.
If I break the USB jack off the board by misusing it, the same.

While SH1 owners cannot directly write for the new hardware in GTA02
(WiFi / accelerometers), they will be writing and expanding a lot of
the other core applications (contacts, dialer, calendar, timer, etc.).
But I share your concern that well-tested and intuitive software will
be the most important thing to a new end-user (even though they may
not think, I want well-tested and intuitive apps.). It will be
difficult for the community to write for the new hardware without
access to it. Maybe the wizards in the core team will make the first
whiz-bang apps for the new hardware.

My hope is that the slower processor in SH1 will encourage (or force
;-) the community to write efficient and simple code and not encourage
them to just let it slide until the newer/faster processor is
available.

Re: GTA02 Board only option in October?

2007-07-12 Thread Bryce Leo

I have to agree with Ian. I'd probably add usb wireless and just use
it as a Myth remote. And if i can't find anything to do with it, i
might just keep it around as a spare board in case i manage to break
something or something like that.

Maybe even board only upgrades for a while. I mean that lcd is very
very good and i don't see a reason not to let people get the most out
of it, and as the lcd is probably the most expensive part they could
sell the board at a higher markup and get a larger profit, yet we'd
still end up paying less. Now that sounds like decent economics.

Some or all of the commercial TomTom units run Linux internally, and, 
they have software-only products (e.g., I think this is what Palm 
resells for some Treo models). Putting that together, one can predict 
that TomTom *might* offer an Arm-Linux-Based software-only product that 
would work on OpenMoko, when the volume sales of OpenMoko are there.

Re: GTA02 Board only option in October?

2007-07-12 Thread Bryce Leo

Now ian that's a sweet Idea but the only problem is finding a place to
buy a psp display! For 289 I can get these
http://teptronics.com/pl9phrb.html two things, just as trivially I
have two 9in diagonal screens that I can use for just about anything!
But yes, i very much see where you're going. Heck, it'd be a pretty
cool thinclient setup to build into a lap-board or tray while you're
eating. Have some news feeds or soemthing like that going through. The
possibilities are endless!

How modular is openmoko?

2007-07-12 Thread Jack Smith

Hi all,

I'd like to know in broad terms how modular the codebase of openmoko is. I'm
asking because I'd like to determine how practical it would be to put a
custom Matchbox interface onto the rest of the software stack. This would
obviously break compatibility with the gui applications, so it wouldn't
simply be a minor customization.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Re: List problems, receiving multiple identical copies of each message

Ulrik,
No you are not the only one.  Other members of the list have fingered Gmail as

getting duplicated.

 Hello,

 Just after I started receiving mails from the mailing list again, something
 weird happened. It seems like some messages are sent out 3-4 times over a
 period of up to 12-14 hours. They have the same timestamp and the same
 content, so they are completely identical.

 For instance, I recevied the message modular open phone components
 yesterday at 20:03, 20:12, 20:34, 21:12, 23:52, and then this morning at
 01:43 (all times GMT)

 Am I the only one having this problem?

Re: [Nederlanders opgelet] Dutch newspaper blog about OpenMoko phone

2007-07-12 Thread Marnix Klooster

This article on the blog site of a Dutch newspaper:

http://weblogs.nrc.nl/weblog/hebben/2007/07/12/gratis-software-voor-je-gehackte-smartphone/ 


Bedankt voor die link!

For those interested, here follows a quick rough translation.


Free software for your hacked smartphone


The thing which phone vendors and software developers try to avoid with 
simlock and serial numbers, is specifically being promoted by OpenMoko: 
hack your own phone.  OpenMoko is an open source group that develops 
free software for mobile devices.  The first hardware that runs on 
OpenMoko is now available: a phone with good-looking rounded corners, 
with GPS receiver, GSM/GPRS support and... NO buttons.  The Neo1973 does 
have a touch-interface, and therefore many people declare the device to 
be an iPhone-killer.  However, that seems a bit premature.


Most smartphones run on Symbian, Windows Mobile, or UIQ.  The iPhone 
added OS X to that.  OpenMoko is a mobile platform which runs on a Linux 
kernel.  In itself that is nothing special, check out this list 
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT9423084269.html.  But it is 
pleasant that all available software is free [as in beer --Ed.], and 
that you already can get a simlock-free smartphone for 300 dollars which 
works on the OpenMoko platform.  There is an application available for 
OpenMoko that lets you receive free push e-mail 
http://www.funambol.com/, just like the Blackberry offers.  Navigation 
software should not be a problem either: the TomTom devices that you see 
on the highway also run on a Linux system.


The orange-black Neo1973 looks cool with its round forms and 2.8 inch 
color screen.  However, it doesn't hurt to wait for the next hardware 
update, when the Neo1973 is equipped with a wifi-receiver and motion 
sensors.  Then you can - just as on the iPhone - flip the screen 
automatically when you move the phone.  This new version will cost 450 
dollars, and is available from October.



Groetjes,
 
Marnix

Hi Clayton,

the same happened to me, see
   http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-July/006770.html
I found your message in the lists archive, but not on my inbox :-(

However, a few minutes ago 4 mails from the list showed up, the newest
one dated 2007.0710-09:31 UTC. Maybe the list server is starting to
recover?

Sorry, I copied Clayton's topic to the subject line, but I can't
properly reply to his mail, because I didn't receive it; thread view
most probably won't work correctly.

I'd appreciate any quotes on that.

GMail, silence and other problems

2007-07-12 Thread Karsten Ensinger

Hi guys (and girl(s)),

as far as I can say from my experiences, there was NEVER a break in
delivery of message worth to mention the last days.
It also seems as if only GMail customers complain about a disruption
of operation.
During the time, where the GMail customers complained to had an outage,
I did not receive any duplicates. Since then I get a lot of duplicates
from GMail senders again.
So it seems to me as if there are still problems with GMail.

Just to let you know.

No order confirmation emails etc.

2007-07-12 Thread George Antoniadis

Hello people, :)
Just in case anyone has any idea cause [EMAIL PROTECTED] don't seem
to be responding.

The first day the eshop went online I tried to order a neo, but due to
some problems (traffic?) the shop pages stopped loading and stuff...
I only got the confirmation page once but one or two times the page
stopped loading before anything appeared so I am not even sure how
many times the order came through. hehe.

I did NOT get a confirmation email that the order was successfull or
any other mail indication about it's status or how to track it.

Since then I tried to email sales twice but I have not yet received
any information on this matter or even the order itself.

If anyone had a similar problem I'd be glad to hear how you solved it :)
Is there a way to track the order or something?

Thank you very much in advance,
George Antoniadis
