Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Use Kammu And Gammu

« on: October 03, 2005, 01:40:29 pm »

I cant seem to find smsgui on the web anymore. I downloaded the ipk a few years ago from the zaurus software index - "sendsms-0_1.ipk"
I'll upload it onto a web page later and post the url.

ok all done you can download zmsgui at

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/smiker.s/zaurus/

For gnokii I used: which should still be available ok

gnokii-0.5.2_arm.ipk

Everything works fine. It would be really good if someone could just put a lookup to the address book for the phone number and this little app would work great!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Use Kammu And Gammu

Thanks. I'll have a look at kdepim/pi. In the meantime I have installed gnokii and smsgui (a simple frontend to gnokii) which works with the sharp compatibility libraries.
I have this working nicely with Bluetooth and a Motorola V3 mobile phone.
I have difficulty copying and pasting tel numbers from my address book either using the copy paste icon or "copy" "paste" from the z keyboard.I can "select" the number ok using my stylus, but copy paste doesnt work.
I have to "edit" the contact before I can copy and paste the number to the smsgui.
Any suggestions how I improve upon this??

I have installed Kammu from the oz feed. I was expecting some sort of gui interface but although it installed ok and I refreshed the icons,  I still see nothing.

I am missing something? There doesnt appear to be much in the forum about kammu  - anyone know how I can get this started??

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Package Not Found Problem

« on: October 01, 2005, 04:36:53 pm »

I seem to remember editing ipkg.conf for some reason not so long ago and I may have changed this by mistake.
Anyway for the sd entry I had:

dest sd /media/card/packages

so I changed it to:

dest sd /media/card

now ipkg-link mount /media/card works fine

thanks lardman!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Package Not Found Problem

« on: September 30, 2005, 07:42:00 pm »

Sorry but I'am stuck. Everytime I try ipkg-link mount /media/card the z pops up with a "package not found" message for every app I have stored on card fs.

Even when i try and relink a single app say something "like ipkg-link add opera"  get an error message "package opera not found.

I have the latest hentges oz build on my z which is a sl5500 (collie)

This is causing me problems getting opera to work again after a soft reset.
I've checked the forum but nothing sticks out on on this .
Any suggestions?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Calendar Time On Z Out Of Sync With Desktop

« on: September 17, 2005, 02:42:50 pm »

Problem solved! It seems only the basic timezone package is part of the hentges rom installation. You have to download and install your country specific timezone package (timezone-europe) in order for the calendar to take daylight savings into account.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Bluetooth Problem On Henntges Oz 3.5.3

« on: September 14, 2005, 06:05:07 pm »

The only thing I altered in /etc/initid/bluetoth was that I commented out the references to HIDD which was causing the same sort of error message that you saw appeared on my  z when I ran  "/etc/init.d/bluetooth start".
Once I did that the error message went away.

I then found that when I came out of a suspend and ran "/etc/etc/init.d/bluetooth start" the light on the card flashed but... my dial up script would'nt work.
However if I ran  "/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop" then "/etc/init.d/bluetooth start" then everything would work just fine.

I've tried modprobeing the bluecard_cs driver in the past but didnt see much happening. I found the rmmod insmod of the driver to do something (at least it told me the bluecard_cs driver was already loaded.)
I know your card uses a different driver than mine but it looks like its not being loaded properly
Maybe you should try that approach instead of modprobe. (see script)
Sorry I wish I could be more help but I'am not an expert on bluetooth.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Bluetooth Problem On Henntges Oz 3.5.3

« on: September 13, 2005, 05:23:55 pm »

I have bluetooth working consistently now - even after a suspend and resume.
To do this I have to run a script via the ppp dial up I configured within the networks tab. (The "execute" tab in the ppp dial up account allows you to run a script of your choice.)
My script is as follows - call it whatever you like, but make sure you make it executable

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/rmmod bluecard_cs
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/bluecard_cs.o
/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
/etc/init.d/bluetooth start
rfcomm bind all
pand --listen GW
pand --connect <your phones mac address>

First of all I make sure that the bluecard_cs module is properly loaded then I stop and start bluetooth .
I found you had to stop bluetooth when you came out of suspend otherwise bluetooth didnt initialise properly and I could get past the modem initialiastion string in the ppp dial up.
I added rfcomm bind all and the pand commands just for good measure.
Anyway I can now put my bt card in , suspend and resume and make a bluetooth connection to the phone and dial up everytime.
I dont use the card manager icon to remove the card if I want to swap in my wifi card later I just yank my bt card out wait until the message saying "ls039 card has been ejected" and plug my wifi card in. I found that if I try and click on the card manger icon to remove the card the light on my bt card comes on and stays on - worse still the Z hangs and I have to reboot!

I'am sure these problems and the usbdo modules not loading properly after a resume are all due to the suspend and resume problem and will go away when this is fixed. I have flashed to the latest zImage which has got rid of the right key press suspend problem but there's obviously still problems with suspend /resume.

The general setup for bluetooth can be found here:

http://opie.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/BluetoothGprs

I also found that I had to add the "givepin" script  as per the opie bluetooth instructions above.

Hope this helps you get by with your bluetooth until suspend/resume gets fixed.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Bluetooth Problem On Henntges Oz 3.5.3

The only way I can get a consistent bluetooth connection is if I reboot (flix battery switch to "replace battery then back to normal"
When I come up from a reboot I insert my Bluetooth card and it blinks on and off and I run my dial up script from networks ( I have a little script to check the bluecard_cs module is loaded and also runs /etc/init.d/bluetooth start for good measure in the "execute" tab. The phone ask me for the pin number to pair it and the z and I oblige - I am now connected! I can connect and reconnect many times - no problem. Then I suspend the Z and then resume.
I start the dial up from networks it runs the script the card light flashes but I just keep getting the message that its trying to initialise the modem. When I look at the phone there's no sign of anything trying to connect to it. I then have to cancel.
I can suspend and pull out the card and put it back in again. Lights flash on the card but every time I dial I cant get past the trying to initialisation modem message. Somehow when I suspend the Z something is being altered. I'am pretty sure the bluecard_cs module is loaded ok and bluetooth is being started  but it seems something has changed!!
It seem that if I want to use bluetooth I have to reboot the z everytime - suggestions anyone!!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Calendar Time On Z Out Of Sync With Desktop

« on: September 09, 2005, 03:48:43 pm »

I live in Glasgow, Scotland , so i've set my time zone to London.
I'll have another look in the posts just to be sure but its a strange one.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Calendar Time On Z Out Of Sync With Desktop

« on: September 09, 2005, 09:18:40 am »

I have recently got my usb connection working (thanks to tips from Lardman) and I have been syncing directly to my Z using notessync.
(We use notes instead of outlook at work so I have no urgent need to use Qtopie desktop at work)

I found that although the sync goes ok all the calendar entries are appearing 1 hour early in the Z.

I've check the date time settings and my Z and my laptop are set to about the same time.

This is bizarre! Is there a daylights saving setting on z thats affecting the times somehow?  Help please!!!

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opiemail - Error Initializing Folder

« on: September 08, 2005, 04:37:33 pm »

Same problem for me.

I found the error message was even interfering with my usb connection so I have uninstalled opie mail for now until I get my usb connection sorted.
Let me know if a re-install of opie mail from the feed cures the problem.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Usb Device Not Recognised

« on: September 08, 2005, 04:32:04 pm »

I feel I am now close to resolving this problem. When I put the z in the cradle and press cancel to resume the Z screen stays blank for about 5 to 10 secs then opie lights up on the screen which is frozen. About the same time I get the "usb device not recognised" message on the laptop.
The z screen unfreezes allowing me to run the script start_net.sh.

This time the sync connection turned green. However about 40 secs later it went back to red for about 20 secs then back to green. I couldnt figure out initially what was going on until I noticed that the sync coming and going was perfectly synchronised to the opie mail error message "Error initialising folder" !!
I uninstalled opie mail and tried again.
Again a bit of delay coming out of resume but when I run the start_net.sh script I now have a rock solid usb connection with the Z in the cradle!!

I'll re - install opie mail later.

Now how do I get start_net.sh to run as part of the resume?? I really dont want to have to run a script from the desktop..
