Re: [SHR] - import contacts
Hi, I write all my contacts to a text file, and I use a script to convert them to VCF files for a wide variety of uses (Outlook, Openmoko 2007.2/2008.x/Qtopia/ My other mobile phone) The VCF can be imported by using that python script, or by sending it as a param to qtopia-addressbook app. You can try using the python script to copy the contacts from sim as VCF file.

Join the IRC if you can. Make sure nothing is accessing your modem. You can do that by checking fuser -v /dev/ttySAC0. Also, try debian.

My freerunner has had every hardware problem except the WSOD. It can used as a daily phone with a little work. 1) GPS Openmoko found 2 solutions to this one. One hardware and on software. Mine only has the software fix but works as well any any other unassisted GPS. 2) BUZZ Openmoko found a hardware solution. I really hope you attempt this one. 3) Suspend and resume. Openmoko has solved the kernel issues with this one. A few more userland fixes and it should be rock solid. 4) Echo Numerous community solutions. You probably won't find this one as it takes some research and a little tweaking depending one Freerunner model and cell provider. 5) bug 666 Openmoko fixed in GSM firmware 6) bug 1024 Openmoko is working on it.

Power consupmtion is slightly higher but perfectly workable. 7) WSOD Fixes in Andy's kernel 8) battery discharging even when plugged in Openmoko working on it ( maybe already fixed in new kernels ) 9) unable to boot with discharged battery Numerous work arounds If your complaint isn't on this list file a bug.

I have no idea, but hopefully Openmoko would make the current testing the new stable soon. The daily testing images are working quite well at the moment. But maybe the idea is to make the switch to 2.6.28 (andy-tracking) kernel first, which also works quite great except for the fact that the user software has been partially setup to use old device names so those changes should go in first. Anyway, no information has been had except for the next year's Om2009 release - but what's the word on Om2008.12, I do not know :( -Timo ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: FSO & Android (was: Sad Story)
Please don't mix teams, distributions, and efforts. FSO is an initiative building a dbus-based framework for mobile devices, 100% funded by Openmoko. The FSO team evolved out of Openmoko's Framework Team. FSO provides a dbus API and a reference implementation that is supposed to run on as many devices as we can manage -- including the GTA's, but also a lot of non-Openmoko devices. Openmoko 2008.x is a distribution, which does not include the new framework, since Qtopia is the framework used there. Openmoko 2009.x will be a distribution including the FSO framework. A personal remark: With all these semiopen initiatives going live, I see Openmoko being more and more important for free software, not less. At the end of the day, OM is still only free open mobile communications platform(*) out there -- and I don't see that changing soon. Cheers, -- :M: (*) A platform is a combination of hardware and software, not just one of them. What use is a software that I can not put on my closed device? Likewise what use is hardware that I can't update with my own software. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
