Socket Bluetooth Options

[keef]

ok
i have an old rev e card which i had given up on as it was not being recognised.

as i had flashed a new rom cacko 1.23 i thought i would try again as the fig labs connection applet came up once after flashing

now if i physically flex the card and insert it 'usually' brings up the applet and then works perfectly until i 'sleep' the z

when i restart the applet will not show up and i have to flex the card and reinsert several times.

not sure if it is solely the card which is playing up or the software is somehow ejecting the card and then not recognising it.- maybe a combination.

thanks

I actually created a few files which i can put up in a ipk which just adds icons to the multimedia tab. all it does is eject and insert the card without you having to physically do this yourself. I use bluetooth on my Z as well. I found out that I loose the applet and I needed to manually eject and reinsert the card in order for this to work. The second problem i had was when i first created the connections. I then had to delete the rfcomm.conf and any directories inside /etc/bluetooth. I recreated the bluetooth connection in the networks applet and works out of the box. On occasions, I needed to use the icons to eject and insert the card again to fix my connectionson about 10% of the times.

Hi

Do you have a link?

I created 2 *.sh files for my GPS to resume and to suspend it.
Maybe you can use this method and substitute eject and insert.
"gps-resume.sh" and "gps-suspend.sh"

CODE

#! /bin/bash
cardctl resume
exit 0

CODE

#! /bin/bash
cardctl suspend
exit 0

Then I placed them in /home/QtPalmtop/bin and made them executable. Then I used the Tab Setting to create an icon for each one.

When I wrote those, I didn't have any linux knowledge, and I still don't know all that much.
I just tried using my Ambicom GPS card with zroadmap and qpegps.
I acquired 5 satellites, then used my gps-suspend. It cut the card off, but the icon stays in "launch" mode.
I closed zroadmap and qpegps, then waited about 2 minutes. Then I used my gps-resume, the card lit back up and I launched zroadmap and qpegps, and the previous satellites eventually came back up.
So these amateurish scripts worked without crashing my Cacko lite C3100, but as I said earlier, the icons stay in launch/splash mode for awhile, (they stay in that state until I launch something and go back to the tab they are located in). In other words, refreshing the tab shows the icons in a non-launching state.
I did download your cf_refresh_1.0_arm.zip, and will use it sometime in the future.
Right now, I'm trying to get the latest IceWM version working (like it is supposed to work), on my pdaxii13 C3200 Zaurus.

[Cresho]

no! the commands are fine. It is most likely related to something else in your case but in my case, the mounting of my cf slot dies after a reboot or after connection from a bluetooth. so ejecting and inserting the cf card was the way to go. Yours is a different issue totally.
can i ask what gps card you using? is it free? im new to this and i want to add gps to the zaurus. ohh and post files and stuff too if you can do me the favor.

Hi Cresho,

Maybe try "cardctl suspend 0" and "cardctl resume 0" to just handle the GPS card, not the built-in microdrive...

Thanks Daniel. I forgot about the microdrive being affected by those commands.
I added "0" to both of my simple scripts.

Here's a thread I started a while ago about my Kensington USB bluetooth dongles.
I'm not sure if it is the same one that you have or if the spelling is correct. Is there a name that is similar to Kensington?
