"N800 Photos Posted a.k.a. Thwarted by My NDA
Sometimes being tight with a company is a double edged sword. Take the recent unveiling of the Nokia N800. I’d been using the device daily for a month but couldn’t post the images or do an unboxing because I am under NDA to the company; that’s the admission price I paid to have access to the N800 before anyone else in North America."

Hi Speculatrix,

Yeah, bought one on the day it became available here in North America.  Took some getting used to compared to the Z but overall a very sweet device.
I put a 4GB SD card into it and the unit worked right off the hop.

Gah. The Nokia online shop doesn't even *list* Canada! AARGH

Tigerdirect carries the N800 but does not advertise it on the canadian site.  I had to call in to confirm.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Can I Hook A Zaurus Up To A Sun Box Or Any Console

« on: October 24, 2006, 05:04:01 pm »

I would like to know if I can use the Zaurus (sl-c3200) and hook it up to a sunfire box or whatever to view the console. Kind of like a crash cart. Is this possible?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=144675\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

A USB-Serial Cable (pl2303 driver) will work with the 3X00 along with minicom.  I use it on a daily basis to interface to Sun boxes.

General Discussion / Modern Project Management Soft

« on: August 02, 2006, 08:42:28 pm »

Anyone using Project Management soft? What are the chances of this kind of soft?.

I know about planner for pdaXROM, but it's not its best environment. I'm looking for something like MS Project for a PDA ROM like Sharp or Cacko.

Thanks.
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

You could try Project Professional PDA edition:
[a href=\"http://www.grnconsulting.com/grnportable.htm]http://www.grnconsulting.com/grnportable.htm[/url]

It's pretty good for a pda version.  Sorry it isn't free but it does the job.

Accessories / Krusell Univeral Horizontal Case

« on: November 07, 2005, 12:25:21 pm »

I think I bought my case from sfplanet.   The site has changed since then but it rings a bell.  Won't know for sure until I check my records at home.  Unfortunately I am out of town for the next couple of days.

Accessories / Krusell Univeral Horizontal Case

« on: November 07, 2005, 11:56:47 am »

Oops.  Sorry for not posting a reply on this one.

Don't bother with this one.  The krusell horizontic case (Large) looks like it will fit just barely.  However, there isn't enough play to close the case due to the girth of the Z (3k).  An extra 3 or 4 mm would do it.

Pity.  It is a really nice case.

Are you talking about the LARGE case? According to Krusel, the large case should fit 100% ( and looking at the dimensions of it, it is actually a bit larger then the Z...)

However I had the same experience as bluedevils: nobody wants to sell me this case... I have emailed Krusel: they gave me a couple dealears. I have emailed all dealers: none has responded...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=102722\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yep. Large case.  
I bought mine online...I will post the vendor after I have look back through my records.  It has been a while!

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Anybody Have The Suspend Binary File?

« on: August 17, 2005, 10:25:13 am »

do an nand restore and restore from a backup up image from your backups.

unless you want to do it the learning way...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=92117\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I was hoping there was just a small problem that wouldn't require a NAND restore.  Luckily the unit seems to be working know.  Strange.  I don't know if the suspend command is indeed a binary or one called from qpe or what...but it is working and that is all that matters.  It just took time I guess. Wierd.

Thanks for the response Cresho.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Anybody Have The Suspend Binary File?

« on: August 16, 2005, 11:09:12 pm »

Hey,

had a nasty crash on my 3k and when the system came up, everything seemed fine until I would select suspend from the "Q" menu.  Then the system would crash and reboot again.
I decided to look at the /home/QtPalmtop/apps/__9quit.desktop file to see what binary is called:

Exec=suspend

I also looked at   /home/QtPalmtop/apps/__9reboot.desktop

Exec=rebootconfirm

I can find the rebootconfirm  binary but not the suspend binary.


Does this file exist somewheres?  Can someone tell me where it should be and the links associated with it?  And finally, would anybody be willing to share the file with me so I can replace it?

Thanks in advance.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Edge On Zauri

« on: August 14, 2005, 11:19:00 pm »

It's been a while since my last posts here, I've still not decided on whether to buy a 3100 or get a Treo 650. I know I can use the Z as a PC far more than a Treo, but I really like the Treo's integrated EDGE support and its ability to function as a phone.

Has anyone managed to do either of these things on a Z?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I have been using my c3000 with my Treo650 successfuly for the last five months.  Edge service really does speed up the page loads and the mail pops!

The trick is to get the proper modem init string in your blue tooth dialup section of the network setup.
For Rogers Canada, you would use  AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","INTERNET.COM"
and of course the proper username and password.

You will of course need to install the bluez packages on your Z and pair the two devices.

The string and username and passwords change from provider to provider.  Checkout

Security and Networking / Bluez Works, But Has Some Quirks

« on: May 19, 2005, 10:41:54 pm »

- After lots of floundering around like a brainless Noob, I finally downloaded, installed, and configured the RIGHT BlueZ version, and it works!  Kudos to Tumnus, who did a good job of porting, and a good job of ignoring useless drivel from someone who should have just been paying more attention to start with.  (vaccuous drool)

- But there is some wierdness, which is to be expected.  BlueZ on the CxK is, after all, *alphaware*.  (wide grin)  Here's what I notice:

1. It doesn't seem to pair "permanently".
- I have to keep putting the phone into "Show always" mode on BT before the Z will find and connect to it, sort of like it has to search and find before it will pair.  If I set the phone to "Wait for pairing" so I get the Z into the phone's "permanent" pairing list, it never does "pair" from there.  I think if I can get the Z into the phone's permanent list, I won't have to set the phone to "Show always" in order to use it as a modem.
- It may not be possible to do this, but if I can, I'd like to be able to link to my phone without having to leave it exposed to the world via BT.  I'm certainly brand-spanky new at the entire BT thing, having just jumped in with both feet last Saturday when the AmbiCom arrived.  (wide grin)

2. It seems to lose DNS.
- When I surf, in either Opera 7.3 or the "native" NetFront, I can load two or three pages, then it just stops resolving names for some reason.  When this happens, I can't l2ping anything, either, which implies something has gone awry in BlueZ, as opposed to the browser not using the link correctly.
- When this happens, it's usually an effort to get it working again.  I haven't yet figured out a reliable sequence to restore operation.  I do know that popping the CF without using "Eject Card" first locks up hiroshi such that I have to use the reset button to get going again.


Background, asides:
- I'm using an LG PM325 with the v18 SW upgrade that xqlan (sp?) mentioned, and the BlueZ alpha4 drivers on a C1000 w/ an AmbiCom BT2000E CF (yellow sticker).

- As an aside, I'd be delighted to build BlueZ myself, so as to be running a "debug" version of the drivers.  I do have an entire build environment installed, but I'm an even more rank Noob at Z development than I am at BT.  I'm old at with C/C++, just not on the Z.  (wink)  If someone could toss me a clue on how to get BlueZ set up for compilation, I'd be as happy as if I knew what I was doing.  So far I haven't located anything of that nature via numerous web searches, but I'll keep looking in lieu of any response here.

- Thanks for your time!...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80029\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Your issue may be due to a frame check sequence problem.
Try   echo 1 > /proc/lock_fcs
I had this problem...seemed like the phone would disconnect or stop resolving names.
Try searching this forum for more info ... this solution worked for me.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Gprs On C3k

« on: May 16, 2005, 10:14:37 pm »

Misch,

I just obtained a Treo 650 and the BT DUN was not working worth a sh*t.  Then I remembered this post and lo and behold the BT DUN started working!  Funny thing is, the BT DUN on my T637 worked just fine.  I never would have figured this out.

Thanks a lot for your perseverence.
