Apache HTTP

2010-03-01 Thread Demetris


Has anyone been successful in deploying web services on the Apache HTTP 
on either the N800 or
the N810 under Diablo? I was able to deploy python scripts easily but I 
am assuming to be able
to deploy SOAP services on it I will need a SOAP engine (Axis or 
similar) that is capable of
running on the device. The other option is to run REST services on it 
through J2ME compatible

servlets. Has anyone done this before?

Thanks

J2ME CDC on N810

2010-03-01 Thread Demetris


Hi all,

   I have been using Java CDC (PhoneME) on the N800 (under Diablo) 
succussfully for a while now.
On a secondary device (N810) which also runs Diablo I tried to run the 
same runtime but instead
it crashes. Is this an architecture compatibility issue? Both devices 
are running

   2.6.21-omap1 #2 Tue Oct 14 11:25:25 EEST 2008 armv6l

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have a Toyota Camry Hybrid and FM transmitter really turns to static
when I press the brakes. :) I guess because it's generating
electricity in the battery, which is located directly below the FM
antenna (rear windshield).

... and after trying to power it on while plugged, it's just black with

I didn't find a mention of red blinking led in the manual.

I just tried your suggestion.
So now, when plugging the cable it enters into a loop where it starts to
charge (the yellow led slowly blinks), the USB mass storage mode is
entered, than after 5 seconds the led stops blinking, 2 seconds after
that it powers completely off for 1 second.
Rinse and repeat.

Is there a mean to ask for charge without even entering the mass-storage
mode ?

On mine, the N900 becomes totally unresponsive (won't even charge)
depending on turning power on and off and charging while power is off,
etc. I have to remove the battery and reinsert it, then it behaves
normally. Maybe you can try that if you haven't already.

I did but nothing happened (no output from the command). I'm assuming
that's correct because I've not actually added a new icon, I'm trying
to re-use an existing one.

I missed that one. I'm still waiting for 1.1.1 as I'm in the uk so
maybe that will fix it. It's not the last item in the list though so
it's not exactly the same.
I notice that also mentions the "no output from gtk-update-icon-cache" problem.
Sounds like I might just need to be patient.

Ok, my bad, it just charges for a little while more than when powered
on, but it still stops after a while.

The animation is stopped if you are not getting more power from PC than
you are using in the N900. So it could be that some process is using lot
of CPU in the N900 and causing this consumption.  This happens to me
with browser playing Youtube, for example, unless I use the dedicated

N900 charging problems

2010-03-01 Thread Xavier Bestel
Hi,

I have a new problem today with my N900: it won't charge anymore through
USB (pc-connected) when powered on.

The N900 is connected via the monitor's USB hub to the pc, or directly
from the pc's front plugs. When powered on, if I plug the cable it will
charge for a few seconds, then stop charging and show a notification
yellow bar saying "Défaut de charge", which roughly translated means
"Charging defect", then charge stops.

I see nothing special in the N900's dmesg.

If I turn it off, it will charge happily (the yellow led blinks slowly),
and act as an USB key.

This morning it was charging ok (powered on) on the wall charger.



Does someone have an idea how to find where does that come from ?

Thanks,
Xav

FM transmitter is basically useless for me, too. I tried in 3
different cars and at it's best the sound quality is very poor, barely
better than AM radio, but most of the time there is so much static I
can't hear anything. And I'm using the FM boost package, which helps a
little. Without FM boost it's even worse...

I think it depends on phone's proximity to the FM antenna, whether the
antenna is shielded from electrical signals inside the car (which is
normally a good thing, except for when the FM transmitter is inside
the car...)

RE: FM Transmitter Sends Sounds But Not Music

The range of the transmitter isn't too long if you have a well built stereo.
At home I have to put the device on top of the receiver to get really clean 
sound. In the car I prefer a small box just above the car radio. The sound does 
work from elsewhere in the car, but just above the radio is best.

Generally the better the radio the better they are insulated from external 
signals that are not coming to the antenna directly.

I already tried different stations, each time I tried one in a blank range.
I think I get static because the volume is really faint.

To Chris: Have you tried turning the FMTransmitter on and off in- and outside 
of the player? And if you play the music with the transmitter on I understand 
there is no music from the speakers, right? Double check the Player Sound 
maybe the sound in the player is just somehow disabled. You can simply check 
that by starting the music with the transmitter off and enabling it. Are you 
using any aditional software like the fmtransmitter button and/or the booster?

of the player? And if you play the music with the transmitter on I understand 
there is no music from the speakers, right? Double check the Player Sound 
maybe the sound in the player is just somehow disabled. You can simply check 
that by starting the music with the transmitter off and enabling it. Are you 
using any aditional software like the fmtransmitter button and/or the booster?

The FM transmitter never worked for me (tried in different cars), it
only emits a faint static sound with a very very faint music, even with
N900 and car's volume crancked up.
I always thought it was just a marketing gimmick. Is it supposed to work
well ?
Maybe I should try to hear the clicks and other system sounds.

This also happened to us yesterday in the car, however it worked after
rebooting the N900.

FM Transmitter Sends Sounds But Not Music

2010-03-01 Thread Chris Ross


If this is an FAQ I've been unable to find it, nor has googling helped.

The FM Transmitter feature on my N900 is very useful to me as my car's 
built-in stereo doesn't support Bluetooth, but this weekend it just 
stopped working. I can set the TX frequency and tune the radio to it, 
enable the FM Transmitter in Media Player and all seems well. The static 
is replaced by quiet, I can hear the clicks and other system sounds as I 
select things through the car speakers, but when I press play I get 
silence. It's good silence, like properly transmitted silence, but 
obviously what I wanted to hear was the music.


I've tried power cycling the N900 a couple of times, tried running 
update in the apps manager, gone through the settings with a fine comb 
looking for something obvious but haven't spotted it.


How do I get music played via FM once again? It plays fine through the 
internal speakers or headphone socket, just not over FM, although other 
sound is fine over FM seems to be just the music that doesn't work 
though I haven't tried playing a game to see whether I can hear that.


Thanks in advance,
Chris R.

Desktop Icons

2010-03-01 Thread Edward Johns
Hello,
I've setup a .desktop file for a shell script I want to run. It runs
ok but I can't get it to show a meaningful icon.
This is the desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=Mount.jb
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'sudo /root/mount.jb'
Icon=terminal
#X-Window-Icon=timerwidget
#X-Window-Icon=
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

terminal.png exists in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48 (and 24x24,25x25,64x64).

I've tried a reboot but it won't show; what am I missing?

Cheers,
Ed.
