Re: Chancing SIM card without reboot
Dont think so - changing sim cards, not running two parallel systems. There are already systems that do this I think - saw a discussion on one of the OM lists a couple of months ago. Just needs some smart design and the will-power to do it.

There is a risk that you will damage the SIM card doing that, as it may receive power on the data pads before ground and power are connected. On consumer phones where the sim card is not under the battery there is normally some sort of switch on the SIM card compartment so that the phone, or at least the GSM module gets powered down if you attempt to remove the SIM card. On the Freerunner, it would be best if you powered down the GSM module before you remove the SIM card. Perhaps in future we can add an applet to do that. You might consider testing if the power gets removed from the SIM card pads when the GSM module is off, by probing it with a multimeter, though do so at your own risk, as there is a slight chance of damaging your freerunner. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
