Qt/Qtopia / Qtopia Greensuite Gpl'd

« on: September 18, 2007, 09:54:09 am »

According to LinuxDevices http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5429713730.html , the Qtopia GreenSuite stack for mobile phones has been GPL'd. Apparently there are config files for the Zaurus C3200 as part of the preview download. Not sure if anything in there is useful, but could be.

General Discussion / A Digipad And A Zaurus - Poormans Tabletpc?

« on: May 14, 2007, 05:38:38 pm »

Is there a size restraint in Xournal??  I have this 'Wild' idea of using a Docupen to scan papers at University and then move the images into the Xournal or an 'Image to PDF' programme and store them on the Zaurus (yes, you still have to scan the 'real McCoy' on occasions in this age of digital journals)

The Docupen uses a MicroSD card - any problems for a Zaurus to read these if embedded in a SD converter/housing?? ( http://www.planon.com/docupen_rc800_pro.php )

Cheers,

I haven't come across a size limit as yet in xournal and you can have custom size pages and multiple "layers".
I'm not sure about the MicroSD card, should be OK if it presents itself as an SD card

Where did you guys get the xournal package that works?

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Bluetooth Dial-up Always Asks For Z Pin

Thanks! That worked! The only difference is that I had to delete

Code: [Select]

/var/lib/bluetooth/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx/linkkeys
I dial-up to the zaurus and in seconds I'm online using Cingular. This is awesome. My phone stays in my pocket , which used to be soooooo annoying before when I had to always enter the pin.

Thanks again.

This is just a shot in the dark, but would the OBEX Push service help?

I noticed that my laptop (running windows and bluesoleil) and the Palm (this is the only service running on the Palm) both have this service running when I browse services from my phone. When I browse services from my phone on the Z, it says nothing is running.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Bluetooth Dial-up Always Asks For Z Pin

« on: January 19, 2007, 05:56:55 pm »

it should really be
    echo -n "PIN:1234"


or even
    echo -n "PIN:"
    cat /etc/bluetooth/pin

where /etc/bluetooth/pin contains just "1234" with no end of line.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151724\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Thank you, but sadly it did not work.

I tried both of your suggestions and I still get the prompt from the phone.

Where exactly in the stack does the pairing process occur? It's almost as if the Z presents itself to the phone as a different device each time.

I wonder if I try with my Ubuntu desktop if it would behave the same.

Stock Sharp ROM
qtopia-bluetoothnetworkapplet 1.0.1
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=151698\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

More info.

Removing /etc/bluetooth/pin does nothing. It still works the same.

HOWEVER,
  commenting the line

Code: [Select]

echo "PIN:1234"
in /usr/bin/bluepin causes the phone to reject the Bluetooth connection. It still asks for a PIN, though.

It seems the phone wants to add the Z every time,
and then I enter my PIN into the phone,
which is validated by the Z's response from /usr/bin/bluepin

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Bluetooth Dial-up Always Asks For Z Pin

« on: January 19, 2007, 12:31:18 pm »

Hello,

I'm using a Zaurus 3100 with a Socket Bluetooth Card. I'm connecting to my Ericsson w810i using qtopia bluetooth applet to dial-up to the internet. Everything works fine. My issue is this:

Everytime the Z dials the phone, the phone asks for the Z's PIN. I always enter the pin and always get a connection. How come the phone always asks for the PIN? I thought after initial pairing, it shouldn't happen again. I don't want to have to take my phone out of my pocket to enter the PIN.

I have told the phone to "Always Allow" the Z, but it always asks for the PIN.

Does anybody else have this issue with their phones?

BTW, my Palm Tungsten E2 can dial-up w/o password after the first pairing occurred, so I assume this problem is in the way the Z negotiates BT connection with phone and not a problem with the phone.

FWIW, here is the INIT string for the Palm

Code: [Select]

E0X1+CMEE=1;+CMGF=0;V1
Also, FWIW, the phone is listed as a "Trusted Device" on the Palm. Where is the list of "Trusted Devices" on the Z?

TIA

Security and Networking / Socket Go Wi-fi! P500

« on: August 23, 2006, 02:08:02 pm »

I tried it out on my C-3200 and it does not work. I'm not sure what driver it would use, either.

Any idea on how to determine the chipset?

they forget to mention that if it works with one Z then it can be made to work with all the Z's

Would you please E-mail her back and ask for some details re. the Linux
compatibility?

Will it require ndiswrapper and the WinXP drivers?

What is the chipset?

Which version of Linux 2.4xx?  2.6xx?

With which Linux distro have they tested it?

What dependencies?

Thanks!  doc

Thank you for contacting Socket Communications,

The P500 card will be availlable by the end of March.

Thank You,

The press release says that it is Linux compatible. I'm assuming that includes the zaurus. I have their bluetooth card and it works great.

well, website is updated again as well as the zbook.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=108664\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Your site is the best man!

One thing I can't seem to get working is swap file activated at bootup.

I tried uncommenting rc.local and putting the command

Code: [Select]

swapon /hdd3/swapfile in there, but it doesn't seem to work.

Also, adding the entry to /etc/fstab doesn't seem to work either.

Either way when I boot and run

Code: [Select]

free or

Code: [Select]

cat /proc/swaps or

Code: [Select]

cat /proc/meminfo i see no swap active.

I always have to manually perform the swapon command  

I have a C3100 with sharp rom and stock kernel.

What would be really interesting is if the mono group could do a version of the .NET Compact Framework classes so that the newest .NET apps for PPC could run on the Zaurus environment the same way Java apps can.
