I plan to use it in my car for GPS tracking and listening to online radio stations, one of my peeves about listening to streams in WinMo was that if you went through a patchy coverage area, the phone would disconnect UTMS and sometimes fail to reconnect, I could write a crontab to check the connection every 60 seconds and reset it, as well as then restart the music stream

Which programs are you gonna use for these two on the Uni?

FINALLY my HTC Universal has a purpose

Not for long, I'm afraid.

I've been running debian on the Uni for a long time now, but the biggest problem is the overall slowness of the system, there's no way you can play movies satisfactorily for instance, and emacs runs, so this is a godsend, but still if you have lot of stuff in .emacs, the startup takes ages etc.

The Nokia N900 has, it seems, started shipping to stores now, and it's gonna be reaching the endmarket somewhere around the beginning of December - and that's gonna be GNU/Linux for your mobile phone! If you'll wish for Debian, you'll run it from chroot no prob. It should be, judging by the videos, super fast, so another dimension for mobile GNU/Linux it seems.

I think I'll put my Uni to rest right when I get this new Nokia in the mail.

Granted, the keyboard on it sucks bigtime, compared with the Uni, but just the keyboard won't be reason enough to hold back and stick with the Uni, I think...

Ubuntu / Briquolo On Sl-c3200

Can someone check if briquolo runs under zubuntu on an SL-C3200?

briquolo[/div]

As far as I can tell, the following should give some kind of result:

Code: [Select]

titchy-phone-daemon atcmd 'at+cusd=1,"*104*#",15'I get "+CUSD: 5"; I don't know what that means.  If you get something more useful, I can add this functionality to the daemon.

I get: [div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']+CUSD: 0,"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX some hex text",15[/div]
So it seems, it's responding with the credit remaining and it's coding the answer, however doesn't ring any bells as far as deciphering is concerned...

It's the ASCII text response, hex encoded. To decipher you need to pass it through xxd -p -r, full instructions at http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...0in%20GNU/Linux

USB connection with a Mac

How do you use USB networking when connection the HTC Universal to Mac OS X?

I.e. in Linux after plugging in the USB cable, you'd on the PC[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[/div]

However on a Mac, I don't have the usb0 device after connecting the Universal with a cable, I've looked through dmesg and the contents of /dev/ and there doesn't seem to be a usb device, though it's no hardware problem, my Mac is brand new and USB flashdisks work when plugged in.

So where's the device to ifconfig?

I'm using USB networking on the HTC Universal in this way, all's fine.

How do you access the other devices filesystem over USB? Is it possible? Or you can SSH into the other one? Haven't done that before, anyone have some pointers?

I'd like to remap the OK key as right shift, but can't figure out to do this. Have tried

Code: [Select]

keycode 0x43 = Shiftin /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz and

Code: [Select]

keycode 75 = Shift_R
add Shift = Shift_R in .xmodmaprc and various combinations of the two, but the OK doesn't work as shift in these two instances. At best it only shifts a couple of keys and that's it.

Anyone know how I can achieve the remap?

Message statuses are displayed next to the sent messages (lit blue arrow is pending, unlit blue arrow is delivered, red arrow is failed).

Oh well, so then this would partly explain the absence. Since I send SMS's from my Emacs UI, in the keitai package that I've put together, the sent message is not displayed in the glossy UI, as you've made it to only show messages that are sent from the UI. So no message, no message status next to it.

Wouldn't it make more sense, since you already do logging of all calls and SMS's to log files, for the UI to not only show new messages and calls etc. that it records since it comes on. But to actually read the logs and display the full history, of calls, SMS's etc?

Is there an error message in /var/log/titchy-phoneui-shiny after the crash?

I'll check it.

I'm experiencing strange behavior with titchy-phoneui-glossy.

If I send an SMS using the commandline with titchy-phone-daemon, it is sent, and then the glossy UI pops up for the confirmation, but the confirmation is not displayed in alerts.

If I send an SMS from the phonebook section of the glossy UI, it kills titchy-phone-daemon and doesn't send anything. What could the problem be?

So, the discussion at xda-developers resulted in a successful patch of the kernel, and it now suspends/resumes the 128mb RAM upgraded Universal fine.

After a day of tests, I can state that the 128MB upgrade is a significant improvement. I can now run emacs alongside conkeror (significantly improved firefox/iceweasel) without swap, and it runs snappily, great.

No need for swap, and specifically because of this it's snappy, as running with swap due to slow access to the SD card is excruciatingly slow.

I have noticed a significantly greater responsiveness of the Universal and it's really great.

You can get the compiled kernel for 128MB at: http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...the%20Universal where I've put instructions.

You can use my rootfs found at http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...the%20Universal if you don't want to mess with its extraction etc.

It's based on the datathief's rootfs, changed to sid dist, expanded, set-up, updated as of 2008-05-07 and X all set up and ready to go.

I have also created other rootfses, one just expanded bare datathiefs, others with different apps set up, all updated to the current status etc. I'll be posting them later, but for now, the one above runs fine. You just need to aptitude full-upgrade.

Your card is messed up. mkfs.ext2 it again and try once more. It happened to me too a couple of times.

If it doesn't go through, throw the card in the garbage and buy a new one.

Further to titchy-phoneui-shiny and titchy-phone-daemon, call-waiting doesn't work. I.e. when you are on the line and get another call, you hear the ring in the background as you should, but there is no way to switch calls...

More importantly, the missed calls log doesn't record the call coming in while you're on the line, so you can't determine who it was that called you.
