 I suspect the mic input still doesn't work with the current alsa state

 the scripts to automatically load the alsamixers.
 
 Could someone at OM add python-pyalsaaudio to the feeds ?
 

Can you point to the source of python-pyalsaaudio? Also explain what it does?

 There are some suggested changes to the alsa state file in another post of

 and Angus is busy improving his scripts. If you've got things working so far 
 then it would be great if you could test those changes too. 
 

Its hard to test as I don't keep my SIM card in the FR as I can't use it as a 
phone yet. Next time I 
do put the sim card in, I'll test this out, but I haven't tried any of it yet 
since I spent so much 
time working on it before with no luck at all, and randomly setting alsa 
settings to see what 
happened was getting really tedious ;)

As an aside I was wondering if the old Neo Mode setting in the alsa control 
files for GTA01 was 
doing what the pcm_bluetooth file is now doing? If someone had the old gta01 
code it would be worth 
taking a look to see if it was doing that and what else it did.

Good work, The step you did that I did not even think of was running the 
bluetooth_pcm.c file. To be 
honest I don't really see why/how this should even work. But as it is the only 
step that was 
different from what I did I suppose it must be the missing link.

Do you know if the audio is being routed directly from GSM to BT or through the 
CPU via PCM then 
into the BT via the USB interface?

Thanks for working on this, I had given up!

 sco flowcontrol is the previous attempt to fix bluetooth audio on the

I put the gta02 .state file up on the Wiki, it is the closest I could get, it 
is based on the one 
wolfson had for gta01, but fixed for the control number on gta02. However there 
were some settings 
in gta01 that do not appear in gta02, not sure if they are relevant to BT 
though.

Presuming this flips the right codec switches, how do you coordinate the audio 
service? I tried all 
the documented approaches both from the bluez site and the wiki, with no luck.

(This issue isn't really debian/fso specific, a fix would presumably work for 
all dists).

The script is looking to see if qpe is running (via ps) so stopping qpe from

If you can't ssh into the FR to do this, then you will need to edit the

Re: problem with full duplex voicce Tx on freerunner

2008-08-15 Thread Jim Morris
What Codec are you using?

Rememeber that the ARM has no FPU so if it is a codec that requires floating 
point the FR is not 
going to be able to work in real time.

If you are using G711 or other uncompressed codec the bandwidth may be too high 
for the network you 
are running over.

Lastly you should check that FR can do Full duplex, this is not clear in the 
docs, and maybe a 
simple app that just records voice and sends it back to itself maybe a good 
test for that.

 Hi,
 Wanted to add some more details to my previous post.  We are having a
 problem with running PJSIP on the neo freerunner, and have tried a
 variety of solutions to fix this but still not successful.   The setup
 that we are using is PJSIP on a Mac with OSX, and PJSIP compiled for
 openmoko.I compiled PJSIP for openmoko by setting the env using command
 source /usr/local/openmoko/arm/setup-env
 and ./configure --host=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi.
 
 When we run PJSIP between the Mac and Openmoko, we are encountering two
 problems.  
 
 The first is that only sound from the Mac goes to the Openmoko, when we
 speak into the Openmoko,
  there is no sound output from the Mac.   I have tried 
 already to fix this - such as incorporating the
 state (1)voip-handset.state  (2) voip-headset.state 
 files in /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/ for full duplex.
 I have also tried with different settings in alsamixer as well. 
 
 
 
 The second problem is that the sound quality is very bad. When we speak
 into the Mac, the sound coming from the Openmoko comes out in stutters
 (on and off every half second). It is also full of static.  When we try
 a VOIP call directly from mac to mac, it works and sounds fine.  
 
 Further, I recorded a .wav file on Mac OS X and freerunner to auto answer the 
 sip call. 
  The recorded .wav file on Mac sounds good enough  while the file of 
 freerunner   stutters a 
 lot and sounds like its missing some packets in between at some interval.
 For reference I am providing the link to get that recorded wav file of 
 freerunner.
 http://rapidshare.com/files/137491007/rec.wav.html 
 
 So far nothing works well.
 
 Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

 good news !
 
 Since I could not try yet : in IMAP config you can set a maximum size
 for retrieved mails (good), but will at least all messages headers be
 downloaded ?
 

Yes it seems to try to download all the headers, which can take forever if you 
have a lot of email 
on gmail.

However even though it said I have several thousand messages in the All Mail 
folder, I could see the 
headers but when I clicked the get message I got an error about it not being

there is no sorting or filtering on messages in an IMap folder.

It turns out openssl is disabled in the qtopia builds, and it seems to be hard

turn it back on fails. I can;t think why openssl would be disabled, but that is 
why the email client 
can't talk to gmail.

I've tried to build from the latest snapshot but so far have failed to turn on 
openssl.

I may have to play around with this for while to find out why, its possible the 
openssl libraries 
are not in the toolchain, if so I think that can be fixed.

Stay tuned (and Lorn if you see this any ideas?)

 Next I'll see if I can get the dbus gem working, and then we will
 have an alternative to Python ;)
 
 
 Exactly what I am aiming for too!! ;-)

Ok I installed ruby dbus, and it seems to work fine. Although I need to do some 
reading on dbus to 
see what I can actually do with it.

QTOPIA wifi setup for wpa2

2008-08-09 Thread Jim Morris
Hi,

I have been playing with the GUI for setting up wifi in the latest trolltechs 
Qtopia build.

It sees my network, but there seems no way to setup wpa2 or enter a password. 
Am I missing 
something, or has that not been implemented yet?

(BTW I can set it up manually using the wpa_supplicant config etc.)

Thanks
Jim

 It isn't very intuitive.
 Once you have done WLAN detection-Options-Add new networks (scans for 
 networks) select the network you want.
 You have to go back into the main internet settings window and select 
 Options-Properties-Wireless Encryption-select the network you want to 
 connect to. From there you can configure which encryption and 
 password/phrase.
 


Thanks I'll give that a try.

BTW did you know that qtopia (actually the entire thing) locks solid (crashes) 
when I try to delete 
an internet setting.. I can't even ssh into the thing via USB to see why it 
crashed.

Internet settings - click on one of the data networks - click the options 
menu = click delete - 
HANG.

HOLD ON I think my libs are out of sync, I need to do an opkg upgrade I think, 
if the latest qtopia 
is expecting 2008.8 libs.

I'll do opkg upgrade and try again. I was seeing some odd message in the logs 
about libs and versions.

The problem stems from the fact I used the script you suggested to upgrade 
qtopia rather than 
reflash the rootfs, but this leaves the kernel and libs out of sync.

I'll report back in a sec...

Ok reflashed the 888 qtopia (the update didn't take properly)

It doesn't crash anymore when I delete an internet profile.

However getting to the properties page for the selected wireless is not working 
as it says wlan 
pending, and there is no properties menu selection.

Re: QTOPIA wifi setup for wpa2

2008-08-09 Thread Jim Morris
FYI

I have looked into how Qtopia is using WPA_SUPPLICANT and I don't think that 
technique will work.

I can get a WPA connection only if I put this in the /etc/networks/interfaces 
file.

iface eth0 inet dhcp
   wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

The technique of running wpa_supplicant from the command line never worked for 
me, and that seems to 
be the technique used by the script.

I hope I am wrong, but playing with it just now I never got it to connect, 
whereas doing a simple 
ifup eth0 with the above setting in interfaces does work right now.

Thanks
Jim

 I just felt that 1.9 would make more sense given that on the mobile, 
 interpreting would be quite a bit slower. If you can help me get 
 started, I will try and port 1.9.0-3.

A good start would be to look at the bb for the current ruby 1.8.5 on OE, it 
should have most of the 
changes needed, at least that is what I was going to do. I can't start until 
the weekend though as 
my real job requires me to spend some time looking at it rather than the FR ;)

 The only post I've found that even mentions these symptoms is by Jim Morris:
 http://n2.nabble.com/killed-audio-and-buttons-td474532ef1958.html
 
 He said it had something to do with the /etc/matchbox/session being
 accidentally corrupted.

I restored the original from the rootfs tar file, and it fixed the problem for 
me.

How do I install these packages? is there an opkg equivalent?
ie download the qpd/qpk and install from terminal, or can it only be installed 
if I setup the 
package installer to point to this site?

Thanks.

 2008/7/21 Jim Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 I just flashed Qtopia (Because my up-to-date 2007.2 wouldn't start x 
 anymore, lost sound etc etc).
 
 Is there a downside to Qtopia over 2007.2?
 

It seems a tad more stable to me, but I spent a lot of time on 2007.2, just to 
have to blow it away 
when it finally updated itself into oblivion :( I couldn't even backup the 
image due to problems 
with the upload feature from dfu-util (see other postings on that).

I haven't spent much time with qtopia yet. I haven't tried the phone stuff on 
it yet either.

I think this is really a matter of personal taste, some people will prefer the 
2007.2 UI and some 
Qtopia. I got very frustrated with 2007.2 I found it unintuitive, and the lack 
of a keyboard I could 
see was annoying.

It is a great testament to Openmoko for building a device where you can try 3 
or 4 different 
platforms, and choose the one you like!

Of course ASU is meant to offer the best of both worlds, but it is way too 
unstable for my liking at 
the moment, but I'll be keeping a close eye on it.

One thing I did like about 2007.2 was the ability to upgrade via opkg, even 
though it did eventually 
bite me in the butt. Not sure if Qtopia has the same ease of upgrading without 
flashing.

Right now I have to go back into /etc/... and add all the customizations and 
fixes I had before so 
everything works again.

YMMV

Shame I found the slight thump from the vibrator good feedback for my taps, 
kind of haptic feedback

 Hi,
 
 Apologies if this has been asked before. I haven't seen it on the
 various lists.
 
 I'm using a USA T-Mobile SIM.
 
 The SIM on an unlocked Motorola K1 and Motorola V3 allows me to see
 all my contacts on the SIM.
 When I load the SIM into the Freerunner, I can only see about 10 of
 them (the first 10 in fact).  This happens on 2007.2  as well as ASU.
 I'm using ASU exclusively now from the dailies.
 

I think this is a bug that has been reported, I also have exactly the same 
behavior.

However I loaded the Qtopia image, and was able to see all my SIM contacts.
