Re: [PATCH] frameworkd battery status reporting
I previously wrote about some problems that I observed when switching from odeviced to fsodeviced, and I think I can now explain those better: On 28 February 2010 00:44, Neil Jerram neiljer...@googlemail.com wrote: Well, the Debian version of fsodeviced seems not to work straightforwardly yet. It dates from 10th Jan and appears not to provide the GetPower method of org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerControl, Actually the problem here was that there's now no PowerControl path for usb. I think this makes sense, because the USB can't be powered on and off in an analogous way to GSM, Wifi, GPS and Bluetooth. So I guess it was just an oddity that FSO1's odeviced used to provide that path, and a bug for openmoko-panel-plugin to use it. o-p-p users can work around this by unchecking usb is Active in the PanelPlugin tab of o-p-p's config. and the GetInfo method of org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerSupply. The problem here was that self.batteryPath = '/org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerSupply/battery' is wrong now. It should be self.batteryPath = '/org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerSupply/0' o-p-p users can make this change in panelplugin/BatteryIcon.py. I should say, though, that I still don't have complete battery reporting with fsodeviced + o-p-p; I'll write again once I have that. This change just stops o-p-p from trying its initialization loop over and over again. Also, FWIW, with fsodeviced instead of odeviced, and with notification-daemon installed, I get lots of spurious notification popups about resource state changes (when nothing is really changing). This was a consequence of either or both of the above. o-p-p kept failing its initialization, so retrying, failing, retrying, etc. So, I'm going back to odeviced for now, but will try fsodeviced again after it's been updated. I'm now using fsodeviced again and planning to stick with it (as part of trying to make sure I'm using up to date kernel and modern stuff). There's a bit more to do (in o-p-p) to get the battery reporting right, but everything else looks fine.

OpenMoko 0.5.8 is out!
http://blog.1407.org/2010/05/01/omnewrotate-0-5-8-is-out/ OMNewRotate 0.5.8 is out! I’ve just released omnewrotate[0] 0.5.8 which integrates Tim Abell’s improvements to rotation sensitivity and I’ve added some code so it is smarter about detecting the paths for setting the brightness level while rotating which changed in more recent Linuxs (2.6.32 and beyond, I think). As I’m running SHR-Unstable, your mileage may vary but it’s likely it will work :) As usual, the download links are at the project’s Google Code site for omnewrotate (see the featured downloads section): * the ipk of this release[1] (OpenPGP sig[2]). * and its tar ball[3] (OpenPGP sig[4]) SHR-unstable users should only need to upgrade omnewrotate. Enjoy!

Introducing the Freerunner Navigation Board
Dear community, we are proud to release a hardware extension for our beloved Freerunner: a navigation board! What is it? The Freerunner Navigation Board is a small PCB which is able to measure rotations as well as the magnetic field in 3D respectively (i.e. compass and gyroscopes integrated). The navigation board can be integrated in the existing Freerunner case. How can we test it? In order to test the functionality of the sensors we developed a monitor application for sensors written completely in Vala. For more detailed information on both, Freerunner Navigation Board and Sensor Monitor, please refer to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freerunner_Navigation_Board What can we do with it? No idea. Perhaps someone of you can find an appropriate use :p We are looking forward to get feedback and comments.

Re: QtMoko v22
Feedback for sms. There are no problems in receving messages (short sms or long sms). The problem in sending long sms still remains. If the sms is 3 pages long then an error appears and the recipient receives only 2 parts of 3 of the sms. If the sms is 2 pages long there is no error and the recipient receives the sms correctly. But in both cases, after sending the long sms, it seems that qtmoko has a problem in receving messages (like the missed messages old problem) and it is necessary to restart qtmoko. Also another problem that persists from the old versions is that while I'm writing a message, if I click in a certain point of the text to edit a part of it, it often happens that the text from that point until the end is highlighted and to make the text not highlighted I have to move through it using the arrows of the docked keyboard. -- View this message in context: http://openmoko-public-mailinglists.1958.n2.nabble.com/QtMoko-v22-tp4967705p4990027.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
