Re: SDHC Card Speeds

2008-01-22 Thread Julian Toler
I bought a class 6 8Gb card (full size SD for my N800) as I wanted to have the highest speed available for dumping large backup files onto the card (data backups from various PCs, not from the N800) and also for dropping large video files on there from time to time. I have an external SDHC card

On/Off switch problem

2008-01-11 Thread Julian Toler
I have an odd problem - my N800 is almost impossible to switch on! I have to hold down the on/off switch for a long time (1 minute or so) for the device to boot. Removing the battery briefly seems to cure it - it turns on immediately after replacing the battery. Is the switch polled at a regular

USB Ethernet

2008-01-11 Thread Julian Toler
My last pocket Linux device was the fabulous Archos PMA400. This had both client and host USB ports as standard, and the host port could be used to connect to a network via a simple USB Ethernet adapter. This worked well when a wifi network was not available, but a wired router was. The USB

Contacts data

Hi I have been trying to import all my contacts into the standard contacts application and have nearly sorted it out, although my most recent import has resulted in one field out of step (emails in the telephone field doh!) Can someone point me to the location of the data file for this application

Quick Launch for simple scripts

I am looking for a way to quickly and easily run some simple scripts - the most immediate example is the one line scripts for switching USB host mode on and off: echo host /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode and echo otg /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode I really don't want to have to fire
