C1000/3x00 General discussions / Evdo On Zaurus?

« on: July 14, 2005, 09:31:05 pm »

Sorry for offtopic, but how much VZW charges for data usage? Is there any unlimited plan that could be used with E815? It's cool that moto left a backdoor in E815. Guess that will be disabled in the next firmware release?

It looks like they're just charging minutes. I'll have to wait until the next bill to know for sure. DUN isn't officially allowed on the E815 so there is no unlimited data plan. I think they'll keep DUN unofficially available until they feel it's being abused.

I've got EVDO speeds working on my SL-C3000 via bluetooth and Verizon's Motorola e815 (just came out). I've only had it for one day but it appears to work. Verizon crippled the bluetooth stack by disabling DUN by default but they left a back door that was discovered by superdave on howardforums. Simply type ##DIALUP very quickly and the bluetooth DUN profile is enabled.    

FYI - download speed reported of approx. 390kbs via one of the speed test sites.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Disappearing Network Applet With Bluetooth/cacko

« on: June 08, 2005, 07:30:57 pm »

Hi All:

   I'm running an SL-C3000, with Cacko 1.23 beta 1.  I just purchased a Socket Rev H bluetooth card. and used the Network app to set it up.  Everything works fine - I paired with the phone, can connect via DUN, etc with my V710 phone on Verizon.

   The strange part is after a resume/suspend cycle.  Once I resume, the Network applet no longer appears at the bottom.  Even if I remove/insert the bluetooth card, it doesn't come back - in fact, sometimes when I do that, I get a popup message that the card is "Anonymous Memory".  Removing and reinserting again eventually gives me the correct message.

   After the card is recognized again, I can run the Network application from the Settings tab, and it works fine - until the next time I suspend, when the applet disappears once more.

   Any ideas as to what I should look at, to ensure the applet stays available, and to make sure that the bluetooth card continues to be accessible?

Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge, this is a known issue and is on the buglist for Cacko 1.23 Beta 1. I have the same configuration as you with the Socket Rev. H bluetooth card and have the same problem. Hopefully, this will be fixed by iamasmith or maslovsky.

BTW, I have the V710 as well - check out the Motorola E815 on phonescoop. It's similar to the V710 but uses EVDO. It will be shipping in the next month or two.

Believe it or not, it was not too long ago that it was not possible to get that card reliably working on any of the clamshell models. Be thankful for what you have!

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Frustrated

« on: May 12, 2005, 10:17:56 pm »

So I have gone through 2 CF wireless cards now with no luck. The netgear is understandable. I hold out hope to get it working. In the mean time I ordered an Ambicom CF-C1100, and it doesnt work. I have been told it should plug right in and work, but no luck. Even the Dynamism folks are stumped why its not working.

So, since im shellin out money left and right for cards, anyone want to give me the name of a card they KNOW works? I would like to get something going as meetings and other things at work, I cant live without my c3k, but the fact I have to use my usb cable at my desk every time I want to sync is driving me nuts!

Thanks!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79168\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I have also had a lot of problems getting my CF wireless cards to be stable. I used to use a C700 with an Ambicom card and it worked perfectly. Now I have an SL-C3000 with the same Ambicom card and it connects only half of the time. When it doesn't connect, the only way I can fix it is by ejecting the card and reinserting it. I bought a Pretec card and it does the SAME exact thing. The AP I use is a DLink DI-624. Although this is just my opinion, I believe it is due to some kind of incompatibility between the new prism driver on the C3000 and the Dlink AP (yes, I've tried the new Sharp prism driver).  

I've also tried using short preamble on the AP and switching a few other settings but the problem persists. I think it may be time to purchase a Linksys AP.

I've loaded BETA1 and my Socket rev. H card works! I only have one problem - the plug/globe only appears after entering the network applet. It doesn't appear upon insertion of the card. 
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77600\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

You have a Bluetooth dialup connection created? Card insertion should be bringin up those symbols as that's generic stuff - the ROM by this stage should already have recognised it as a Bluetooth card.

Does the card appear in the Card Manager applet ?

Could you also check the following for me please ?

lsmod before going into the Network Applet
lsmod after going into the Network Applet (don't think it will be different but may be).

cardctl status

cardctl ident

BTW: If you do stumble across something in the meantime, however trivial it seems, that makes the card work then please post to this thread - I would like to wrap any such changes in the next release. Unfortunately I don't have one of these cards to test with, all I have is an LSE0039 card - which, as you can guess works beautifully.

Regards,

Andy

The card is recognized by the card manager applet as Socket Bluetooth Card v2.5.
The bluetooth dial-up connection is created and works properly (once plug/globe is present).

...When I tried the Tetsu Special Kernel on Sharp Rom 1.11JP, it didn't work with my Socket Bluetooth CF rev. H. It may be necessary to compile an enhanced kernel that doesn't break bluetooth compatibility. Socket Bluetooth compatibility is important for Cacko3K (at least for me).   
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=77455\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Could you possibly give me some details of exactly what happened when you tried to test Bluez with the Tetsu kernel?

Did you use someone elses Bluez package with that Kernel? Did you install the IPK of Kernel modules that comes with that Kernel?

All this makes a difference and the first step is letting us know if you can get your socket card working with the BETA1 ROM. The BETA1 rom has all the Bluez kernel modules from the accompanying IPK that tetsu produced built in and handles loading and unloading of the Bluez stuff through hotplug/pcmcia rather than at system startup. - quite different from traditional Bluez IPKs knocking around.

I think I'm inclined to leave Opera off the list until we have really settled this.

With an easy to install ipkg, it might be best to leave Opera for the feed for the time being. We'll have time to iron out the best version of the two if we aren't worrying about direct inclusion in the rom.

Oh BTW: haven't heard a peep about Bluez... did anyone try it? It works for me without any hitches it would be nice to know that at least one other person has tested.

I've got a couple of socket revE cards, but I haven't got them doing anything useful under 1.22 yet, never mind tried them on the 3000.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / How To Have Wifi

« on: March 21, 2005, 05:43:36 pm »

$50 - $100 is a fair estimate.

You can also check out ebay for wireless cards and occasionally you will get a very good price (like sub $40) or a low power card too.

Before you buy, do a research on power consumption of WiFi cards.
Some cards suck battery power like anything thereby reducing battery life on your Zaurus very fast while online, while some (like the Socket low power Wifi / Symbol Spectrum 24 Networker card) are much better at preservinbg the precious juice in the battery (though I dont think you really have to worry that much with a C3000, I had to cound every second on my C750 which has half the battery life of the C3000) 
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=71645\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

   I just got the SL-C3000, and am using an Ambicom wifi card with it - the battery life is absolutely stunning.  Last night, I was using wifi almost constantly, for about 4.5 hours, downloading lots of ipkgs, surfing the web with Opera, etc.  And still had about 50% battery capacity left after all that time.

   I used to think that my Sony TH-55 had great battery life, when I could surf for 4 hours, before the battery tanked.  ;-)  Of course, the Clie isn't quite as much of a handful.  ;-)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=71658\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I'm currently having a few problems with my fairly old Ambicom WIFI CF card and the SL-C3000. The light tends to continuously blink and the card doesn't work every fourth or fifth time I try connecting. I didn't have this problem on my old C700 with the same card.

Do you have this problem? If not, could you please tell me what the output is from the "cardctl ident" command issued from the command line (with the Ambicom card inserted)?

Thanks!

My two cents - same size as SL-C3000, lower power consumption, more flash, same speed, cheaper.

The more Zaurus models, the better!
