Re: Hardwarefixing at 26c3?

2009-12-22 Thread Konstantin
Hi there,

 Hi,
 
 I'm at the 26c3 and my phone needs a buzzfix as well.
 
 I checked out http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/1024#Bug_detection and started
 the script mentioned on the top of the page after setting
 ti_calypso_deep_sleep = always and got only very few messages every other
 minute but with same cid. Neither did I get any logs about recamping in
 /var/log/frameworkd.log after setting ti_calypso_deep_sleep = adaptive. So
 I believe I don't suffer from bug #1024, but I'm not sure because my phone
 does not connect to GSM anymore if I don't set ti_calypso_deep_sleep =
 never.

I think I need a #1024-fix, too, I basically have the same problem (well, except
for the does not connect to GSM anymore-part, I think). Because the bug
detection script did not output any results the first time I tried, I just
activated ti_calypso_deep_sleep and used that for a while, but it seemed to
drain my battery even faster than without this option - I assume this is another
symptom of bug #1024.

 So how do we meet up at 26c3?

I second this question, I would like the fix, too :)

 Cheers
 Jan

 Are you really sure that the other party doesn't hear buzz? Because
 given experimental data if you use a headset mic you'll inevitably
 (and without any easy fix) have buzz.

I do have buzz using the headset (actually, both parties can hear the buzz) in
certain situations (I assume it depends on the quality of the GSM signal),
especially when riding a train while using the headset.
I assumed that buzz is a hardware problem and is thus not connected to the state
file you are using - the original poster seemed to have the problem of not
getting sound via the headset at all.

Hi there!

 Hey all,
 is anybody out there who is using the FR on longer trips for navigation 
 and/or geocaching? How did you solve the power problem?
 
 I would love to have an adapter from my hub generator for the

 and then maybe some switching thing to getthe right voltage (DC/DC 
 converter or what).
 
 Does anybody have a solution or some hints?

Assuming you're from Germany due to your name and mail provider ( ;) ), the

build a voltage converter with rechargable battery to power devices via usb with
the hub generator of a bike.
The Article can be found here:

(alas, not for free, they want 60 cents for it - alternatively, you can ask
someone with a c't subscription for the article)

They also had a multi-parted workshop in their TV show, a link to the archives

 Unfortunately without the exact steps you took to get into this 
 situation, we're unable to determine the correct steps to get you out.
 
 The most generic answers would be:
 
 1). Reflash with your preferred distribution.
 2). Boot from SD Card, access the flash memory and correct your mistake.
 
 Although I'm not sure if '2)' is possible as I've never tried. I've only 
 ever come in from the other direction (modify SD from flash).
 
 Potentially, if it is simply the x server not starting, you may still be 
 able to ssh in via usb and correct your mistake.

I *might* just have the same problem. I tried opkg-upgrading my FDOM (OM2008.9)
to testing, and now booting stops with the same messages the original poster has
seen, plus the same vor vcs1 and vcsa1. Haven't found a way to fix this,
unfortunately, as ssh doesn't seem to be running. The kernel however is still
alive, responds to pings and prints out information about the changed power
state when plugging in the charger or the usb cable.

 My Freerunner worked fine with my O2 Germany 3G card from October 2006 and 
 works fine with my new O2 Germany 3G card from July 2008. If you are unlucky 
 enough to have one of those non-working sim cards you have a good change to

Actually, it's not quite that easy. I changed my non-functional O2 SIM in an O2

But if you kindly ask if you may have a look at the SIM in advance, you can
check if the SIM has the problematic chip layout or not (see the bug entry in

If I understood you correctly, you are experiencing the same problem as I was a
few weeks ago. I think the problem is that the NAND configuration (that is, the
configuration for the menu items in the NAND menu) is stored on a seperate
partition from the uboot, so reflashing won't change it (actually, this is
probably a good thing, because that way you don't have to rebuild your custom
boot menu everytime you update your uboot).
I fixed that by asking someone in the irc-channel to kindly send me a backup of
his u-boot_env partition and flashing it on my freerunner. And then, you could
also just boot into nand and reconstruct the boot menu manually (see

Re: Freerunner-powered bike ride

2008-08-02 Thread Konstantin
Hi there!

 Hi community!
 
 Just want to drop a line that I today made my first bike ride with a
 Freerunner mounted on the handle bar of my bike. If someone is
 interested I could take some photos to show what the mount-kit looks
 like and how the Freerunner fits in.

[x] Interested! :)

 It's a universal mobile phone bike-mount-kit by LesCars (don't want to
 push the brand, but there are only few mount-kits for bikes out there)
 [1]. All ports (USB, GPS, audio) and the 2 buttons are usable with this
 mount-kit.
 
 With tangoGPS I had a lot of fun riding around town exploring new roads
 for Openstreetmap. ;)
 
 The next step would be a dynamo-powered charger for the Freerunner. I
 read an article in the german computer magazine ct [2] about creating a
 converter for charging USB devices while riding your bike with a
 hub-dynamo. The article provides detailed instructions for building it
 yourself, but I don't have the necessary soldering skills. So I'll have
 to ask soldering-experts... ;)

Interestingly, that's precisely the thing I had in mind. I just bought a bike
today, and am planning to somehow build the c't usb-charger for a bike (probably
with some friends with soldering-skills, too ;) ) some time in the not too
distant future. Maybe we can exchange experiences with that :)

 Happy ridin!

Re: Warranty after fix for GTA02 GPS rework for SD card interferenceissue

2008-08-01 Thread Konstantin
Hi there!

I'm not Andy obviously, but I think I still can answer that one ;)

 Hi Andy,
 
 I'm the guy who said that.
 
 Actually I based my observation on the fact that i saw an entry of 
 10/x/y as the endmost entry on the TangoGPS status line.
 Isn't that supposed to mean that it still has fixes from 10 satellites. 
 So I thought it must be a SNR issue and the capacitor fix
 is supposed to help on that ... right?

Actually, the first number in 10/x/y in TangoGPS' status line represents the
number of visible satellites, not the number of fixes you got. So if it says
10/0/x, that means you can see 10 satellites, but don't have a fix (because,
for example, the signal is too weak). So it's quite normal you didn't get a gps
trace if the second number was 0.

 The problem only occurs if a SD card is set in. Doesn't matter if it's

 The TTFF went from no fix at all to TTFF 120 seconds indoor(!!!), and
 about 40 seconds outdoor.
 Two other people could verify this with about the same results.
 We'll do more tests later, but for now we surely know what's causing the
 problem (and it seems to be a EMC problem).
 
 First results show at the same devices, even outdoor, that there is no
 fix in over 400 seconds with SD card, the signal seems to be at least 10
 to 20 dB worse (so bad, that most satellites don't even appear).
 
 Testresults from other people appreciated.

I think I can confirm this. I never got a fix with the internal antenna before -
EVER!
Now, having removed the microsd card and holding the freerunner out of the
window, AGPSUI got the GPS time after ~18s, and TTFF was 111s. Amazing!
Now, how do we fix that? ;)

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Switching_Keyboards

Works fine for me, have been using the other keyboard for some time now, and it
works like a charm. Even Ctrl-C is possible, which helps a great deal on the
terminal :)

 thanks, Arne

Re: x offset in landscape mode

2008-07-09 Thread Konstantin
Hi there!

 Hi all,
 
 I have a slight problem with the landscape mode. It seems that the 
 touchscreen subtracts
 some value from the x position where I touched the screen with the 
 stylus. The y value
 seems to be fine.  If I tap on the '+' on the bottom of the screen it 
 looks like I tapped
 the 'home' icon. I this a known problem? Has anyone tried the landscape 
 mode and
 found that everything is OK?

I have the same problem. There is already a bug report in the bugtracker, see
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1244.

 
 Regards, Michael

Regards,
Konstantin

 Having the same problem with my O2 SIMCard, I too would like to offer my

 hey there
 
 so: if your O2 3g sim does not want your (supposedly correct) pin, check
  if the pin is really needed with a second phone, and if not, set it to
  or so.
 if this works for more people than just me, we might just have found a
 workaround.

Hmm, unfortunately didn't work for me :(
Disabling the pin entry altogether on a 2nd phone resulted in the GTA02
(@2007.02-rootfs) not asking for a pin but not registering either - so I
suspect it doesn't really have anything to do with the pin but is more
of an overall communications problem.
Setting the pin to  on the 2nd phone didn't work, either - the pin
entry dialog appeared on the OM, but didn't accept the pin and even
thought the sim was locked after the 3rd failed attempt (which was not
the case when testing the sim in the 2nd phone after that).
Any more ideas?

 ps: i have photos of the 'tricky' O2 sim, so if youre unsure or find
 yours does the same, we should be able to identify the manufacturer by a
 nice high-res shot of the 'chip' (the layout of the pads is somehow
 'characteristic')

If it helps in any way, I could provide the serial number or a photo of
my SIMCard, too...

Regards,
Konstantin

 GLONASS?
 
 
 Isn't that the Soviet GPS-alike that is mostly dead? What's remains of 
 it I believe is currently optimised for use in Russian military 
 deployments in Chechnya.. Doubt it's going to be a viable tech any time 
 soon. Also, finding a chip comparible in size / cost to the Hammerhead 
 would be difficult.
 
 It's had new satellites launched recently and commitments have been made 
 to bring it fully online well before the completion of Galilleo.
 
 It _was_ decaying rapidly into uselessness only several years ago.

Yeah, and here you can see the most portable GLONASS reciever:

 Hi,
 
 I really enjoyed the OpenMoko videos. I converted the existing ones to
 Ogg Theora:
 http://people.ubuntu.com/~magicfab/video/openmoko/
 
 If anyone can mirror them I would appreciate it.
 
 For some reason #9 made ffmpeg2theora choke so I isn't in the list.

A bit offtopic, but ffmpeg standalone copes fine with #9 transcoding to
theora :)
