[freerunner] data plan USA

2009-11-11 Thread Ed Kapitein
Hi all,

We will be traveling trough the mid-west of the USA this summer for
about a month.
And i am looking for a way to have mobile internet on my freerunner
while doing so. (freerunner used as a modem for my laptop too)
What are the experiences with mobile data in that part of the US?
What is the best provider ? (cingular, t-mobile)
What is the cheapest way to do so?
Can you roam from state to state on one plan, or is there a price per
state?

Last time i bought a card like [1], but only for voice calls, and that
worked well.

Thanks for the input!

Kind regards,
Ed

 Hi

 I have not used my freerunnner much since I bought it soon after
 public launch due to battery issues.

 Recently flashed the latest unstable SHR and initially looked
 reliable and promising as a regular phone.  But then I
 experienced missed calls and failure to dial.
 (perhaps I will try Qt Extended Improved to see if this
 works  better as a regular phone)

 But I know there is a lot of new work on SHR and I hope that
 it allow me to have a reliable regular phone.

 Meanwhile, I want to use the freerunner as a WIFI connected
 SIP client.  No need to make cellular calls or do *anything*
 else than VOIP.

 Your battery won't last long in this case because you can't suspend and still
 receive calls. You could save a bit of battery by turning off the GSM though.

 What is the advice on both the platform and application above it to
 reliably support WIFI and a sip client?  I see linphone is mentioned
 in this forum.

 linphone worked for me a while back, but would need some work to make it
 usable. The main problem is the lack of alsa scenario switching between ring
 and call. The gui could be made more suitable for a handheld device too.
Besides that, also by using the alsa scenario for voip, sound does not
reach the earpiece. Thats a problem I have with SHR and qtmoko, with
linphone 3 and linphone 2 respectively. It was working with older
distros.


 I do have a problem with batterys not charging well and
 discharging fast, maybe some distributions fix this?

 I don't have any problem with battery on shr-u, but we may just have different
 expectations.

 Thanks for suggestions.

Need Freerunner interfaces file

2009-11-11 Thread Jared Maddox
Hi. I went to modify the interfaces file on my Freerunner, but (while
I was trying to make a backup of it, of all the things!) accidentally
overwrote it. I've been building a new one, but I want the 'factory
release' version so that I can compare. Does anyone still have one of
those?

Also, dif-util on Windows gives me a -5 error when I try to backup the
root filesystem. I did it anyways (with scp, now that I'm familiar
with it's error messages), but I'm curious about what the cause would
be (the usb port is built into my computer, but that doesn't
necessarily mean it isn't a hub).

Finally, if I can't get dif-util to work (and ignoring the LiveCD
option, which I might use anyways), is there any way to flash the
kernel image, etc., from within the Freerunner, sort of like the GSM
firmware upgrade? I half-recall reading about Linux kernels being
treated like all other apps in Linux, but I'm fully aware that that
says nothing about placement requirements.

 Hi,
 
 Neomis is a computer version of the well-known electronic game named Simon.
 
 It's a game of memory and concentration.
 
 You must follow the pattern of sounds and lights as long as you can
 remember!
 
 The game will flash quadrants in turn and expect you to repeat the
 sequence. If you get the sequence correct, the game will respond with a
 longer sequence.
 
 It's written in Python / Elementary.
 
 NumberX is tested on SHR unstable ONLY.

 Are there some development boards to get?

 And a documentation for writing free drivers for the linux kernel?
 
 Using android kernel is not an option, because they put the mostpart of 
 theire 
 drivers into the apache licensed userspace. In binary format.
 
 So the basic idea of opensource handies is died in android, because the linux 
 kernel cant support the hardware on its own, theres alway a binary compatible 
 android userspace needed to have the devices working properly.
 
 I hope, if they call theire phone geeky then they are also open to sell 
 developmentboards and documentation.
 If they dont. Then the word geeky is a lie and we could even call a htc-raph 
 or other windows-ce generation handies geeky.
 Then we can call every ** smartphone geeky. Because they are all hackable in 
 someway...
 
 So please ask them to inform about development boards on theire page.
 They dont have to make UMTS/GSM open, its clear that they cant, but the rest 
 of the pcb and schematics they could give us in a documentation, so that some 
 smart linux kernel hackers could write some drivers in the propriate section 
 (Board, CPU, Devices)
 
 Something which the Android developers didnt manage to do either.
 Theire drivers are sooo ugly.
 This time, the development should start from our site.
 Linux shouldnt have only BIOS function, but should have the user and kernel 
 space consequently separated.
 Lets do it on our own, an we are sure, that it will be respected.
 We can certainly do it better then proprietary enterprises and google.

If you are looking for such phone maybe the htcdream(I know you're doing
some work on the htcdream)is not a good option(but it's great if you
want to learn about the internals...because there is some work to do)
Some candidates are:
*Omap Zoom II ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OmapZoom )
*Exeda mobile ( http://www.exedamobile.com/web/ )
*The flow
( http://www.gizmoforyou.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.32 )
*future openmoko phones(like gta02-core and/or the one from the

Re: [freerunner] data plan USA

2009-11-11 Thread Jim Ancona
ATT (formerly Cingular) has prepaid voice and data. The details of
the various plans are on their web site at:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/go-phones/pyg-plans-phones.jsp

They offer two add-on data feature packages:

1 mb for $4.99
100 mb for 19.99

More detail on the feature packages here:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-plans/prepaid-feature-packages.jsp

Both of the data plans are good for thirty days and unused data can be
rolled over if you renew before the 30 days are up. With my Freerunner
I can stretch 100 mb over several months, just paying $4.99 every
thirty days to add a megabyte and (more importantly) roll over the
unused data from the 100 mb package.

The other nationwide GSM carrier in the US is T-mobile. AFAIK, they
don't have a pure prepaid data option, although there is some kind of
walled garden set of mobile sites that their prepaid customers can
access free.

Howard Forums has a good set of prepaid discussion forums at:

Hope this helps!

 Hi all,

 We will be traveling trough the mid-west of the USA this summer for
 about a month.
 And i am looking for a way to have mobile internet on my freerunner
 while doing so. (freerunner used as a modem for my laptop too)
 What are the experiences with mobile data in that part of the US?
 What is the best provider ? (cingular, t-mobile)
 What is the cheapest way to do so?
 Can you roam from state to state on one plan, or is there a price per
 state?

 Last time i bought a card like [1], but only for voice calls, and that
 worked well.

 Thanks for the input!

 Kind regards,
 Ed

Vibrating Pidgin alerts (new plugin)

2009-11-11 Thread Joshua Judson Rosen
Hi everybody,

I got bored the other night and hacked together a plugin for Pidgin
that allows the Neo's vibrator to be used as a notifier for various IM
events (such as incoming messages, buddy-logon, etc.); which
particular events do or don't trigger vibrating alerts is configurable
via Pidgin's plugin-management GUI.

In case anyone else is interested, I've posted tarballs and a Bazaar
archive on my website:

http://www.hackerposse.com/~rozzin/pidgin-vibr


It should also work with any other applications based on libpurple,
but I haven't tried it (while I like Finch on the desktop, it doesn't
seem to make much sense to run it on my FreeRunner ;)).

That's not exactly the right command to check for bluetooth module
presence. Better use lsusb and also see dmesg. Probably you just don't
have bluetoothd running for whatever reasons.

Great job Mickey, but what about integer orientation codes which were
discussed previously? These are much easier to use, easier to compare
integer than some long string.
