Tkcvox Recording Longer Than 30 Minutes? Options

[MrCool80s]

I purchased tkcVox from the Kompany a couple weeks ago for recording talks I give / attend. However, I could not get it to run longer than 30 minutes (it would not prevent suspend as a couple other programs do). "Shaun" at the Kompany advised I should (paraphrasing) "set the suspend to a long time or disable it". However, that is not possible using the standard utility.

It has been suggested that modifying qpe.conf would produce the desired results, but the file is over written every time the utility is used. In addition, after several edits, I was only able to get tkcVox to run for 38 minutes at the longest.

After quite an email discourse with Shaun, he told me I was "the only one with this problem" and that I asked for a refund becuase I "found it inconvenient" to make the necessary changes to the suspend settings.

Am I totally out there? Anyone use tkcVox on the 6000 (with or without Qtopia) and it just works?

You can create a script to disable suspend. I had this problem as well. With information from other people, I created a script called "tkcVox-ns" in a directory in my path which contains the lines:

qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 2
tkcVox_xscale
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 100


I then had to run

su
vi /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/tkcVox_c700.desktop
exit
exit


I changed the line that begins with "Exec" to:

Exec=tkcVox-ns

I have a C760. I also had to change the preferences inside tkcVox to change the Mic and Phone to

/dev/dspdefault

instead of what it originally was.

Thank you! Before posting, I had come across your Feb, 2004 discussion with lardman and tumnus but could not complete the process. I will use your additional detail and report back.
