So if you change the suspend timeout, use the options button on the lower left to add them to your current profile. -- j�...@home ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Yeah, you can get up to that many hours from QTe, too. Just go to settings -> power management and set a time after "Suspend" at the settings when on battery. Works good here. QTe wakes up on calls or when you press power. It just takes one or two seconds. -- j�...@home ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Best Dist only for GPS usage (and maybe wlan)?
Hi! I'm going on holiday in two weeks and I intend to use my freerunner only as GPS-device without GSM-card there. I'd like to use tangoGPS and download loads of maps from google and OSM beforehand. The question is: which distribution would be the best? My wishes for fast access and best battery usage: - good power management - reliable suspend - waking up only on button pressed, not on touching screen - easy and fast turning on and off of GPS receiver (for browsing the maps indoors without reception) - fast start of TangoGPS (not like in FDOM!) - good control over extra phone services like wlan or bluetooth - finger-control - phone function is absolutely irrelevant! wlan would be nice, but is not crucial. Also: As far as I see, there seems to be no function in tangoGPS that shows you the direction (as the crow flies) to a selected waypoint, right? Is there an application which can do that? So that I can easily set a point and find my way back later, just like in my old Garmin eTrex?

qtopia: 4.3.3 too sloooooow
Hi! I used qtopia for a while now as my regular phone. And I was quite happy with it. I just flashed the 4.3.3 version to the card. But this version is absolutly unusable. First: the neo freezes when in suspend. I have to re-insert the battery to get it going again. Second: When I call the neo (not suspended) from my land line, it takes about 8 seconds before it even starts vibrating. Then after about 8 more seconds it starts ringing. By that time voicemail has already taken the call. So it's impossible to answer my phone. Also: The device seems to hang for half a minute very often. Is this normal? What can I do to get a working phone again?

The SD(HC)-Card was prepard on my main machine like this: 1. partition: 8MB formatted vfat for uImage.bin (apart from that: empty). I wasn't sure which kernel-Image to use so I took one from ASU. 2. partition: 2GB formatted ext2. I copied all the directories from the .tar.bz2 (Prebuilt Filesystem) to this partition. wasn't sure which kernel-Image to use so I took one from ASU. It did indeed boot, but when the kernel tried to start init, it panicked: Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. ... but I really don't know how to do that without screwing up Neo.

Using gmail with qtopia?
Hi! Has anyone successfully managed to send or receive pop and smtp email via gmail (googlemail) using qtopia (version from 2008-08-09)? I have set it up as POP, pop.googlemail.com (German gmail-domain) and port 995. There doesn't seem to be a working button for security settings. For SMTP I used smtp.googlemail.com and port 465. In both cases (send or receive) the connection times out after a while. I have checked both network and DNS settings. All seem ok.

Tip left or right to skip through possible words till the right one is in the middle. Or sweep your finger to the right on the bottom of the keyboard(I just found that out after your hints).

I tried that for the last 2 hours, using the wiki howto (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_on_FreeRunner). It went quite smoothly. up to the point where the qtopia-kernel panics when he is not able to mount the root-Filesystem.
