Re: Linball game 0.2 version
I know it's been a while since anyone last wrote, but I just thought I would try it on SHR-testing (20080303). When it starts up, it rotates the screen, flashes a couple of times then returns to the window. The bash script is doing it's job, but the exectuble is returning with a: Warning: Audio could not be setup for 22050 Hz 16-bit stereo Reason: There's no reason for running the application. Would you be able to debug this. I'd really like to check this out. I would try it myself, but I am using my phone for daily use now so I want to stay away from it right now.

Re: Debugging SIM problems
It does seem like a carrier issue. Anytime that phone is requesting service or a wakeup (AT+CMGL=2, it receives CMS ERROR 313. Now I'm not an expert in these kinds of situations, but if someone else might have an idea about this. It might also be wise to check with your carrier and see if there is an issue with your SIM card and/or if you can request to have it replaced.

This may be true, but with the amount of people within the community working on more and more stable versions of the software to go onto the phone, it's only advantageous for Openmoko to focus more on a stable hardware platform. Yes, I'm sure they know about the echo problem, and the buzzing and all of the little quirks that have come up. But how are they going to sell a truly stable phone without building a newer one? We can't just keep applying fix after fix to the phone, eventually, the phone will run out of room and a new phone will be required. Personally, I can't wait for GTA03 to come out.

Re: Importing Contacts from Thunderbird
Hey guys,
I suppose a little update. I've recently switched to SHR-Testing and
a little while on SHR-Unstable. Currently there is no import
functionality, but thanks to Aleš Horák, he's created some scripts
called the DBus Access Scripts for handling the SIM phonebooks.
For those wishing to use these scripts and are needing to convert your
VCF 3.0 files from Thunderbird or otherwise to VCF 2.1, please run the
following:
sed -r -e 's/;TYPE=([^,]+),[^:]+;/;\1:/g' old.vcf new.vcf
sed -r -e 's/VERSION:3.0/VERSION:2.1/g' new.vcf new.vcf
On the FR, run:
./ImportContacts new.vcf
If the contacts.sh file is created and filled but doesn't import, then
you will need to check for the following in the contacts.sh file:
- Windows EOL character (^M) at the end of the name and number field
- An apostrophe or quote in the name (' or )

Re: Free email to SMS
Hey Pander, This is a great tool but it does have it's limitations. Most of the time, you have to be aware of what you attach to your emails and how many characters you use. Just the sheer fact that you can send emails to an SMS receiver is still great though. One down fall is the SMS receiver's carrier. Some carriers are starting to restrict use of the email-to-SMS conversion (to some degree) a paid service. I live in Canada and the only GSM provider in the area is Rogers. They've completely locked out this service to a degree that if you receive an SMS from email, the receiver is notified that a message has arrived and will have to agree to pay a fee to receive it. Unless someone has found ways around this matter, I would look into it a bit more before you start sending off massive amounts of joke mail to all of your phone pals.

Can you tell me what you found out about the format? It also does not import contacts from jpilot.

Re: how to turn on screen blanking on 2008.12
If you would rather switch to the illume theme (you would have to update from testing), this will give you access to the illume 'wrench' that can allow you to set the time after which the screen blanks and then another time (or none) to have it go into suspend. If you don't want to use testing, you can just install 'illume-config' which will give you the wrench The 'wrench' is found in the top shelf when you drop it down. It'll be in the top-left corner.

Myself, living in Canada, most of the country is run on the older CDMA network and GSM is spotty at most so 3G isn't really a priority, but I often get sent to south-east Asia and most of the countries there run on 3G only networks. Unless I know that an FR coming out will have 3G, I'll have to buy a just as or more expensive 3G phone so I can bring it with me.

If you install the 'illume-config-illume' package, you will also be able to choose your default keyboard as well. This is what I've been using a lot and it comes with three keyboards you can flip between. An 'intelli-type' keyboard (which is alright for SMS') and a matching numbers/symbols keyboard and then a terminal keyboard which is a tiny keyboard to be typing any kind of terminal commands with, but it's still useful. Until we can get any significant change in using the accelerometers to automatically rotate the interface and give us a bigger keyboard, this is what's available. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
