C1000/3x00 Hardware / Cheap Usb Cable For Sl-cxx00?

« on: January 12, 2006, 01:29:02 am »

I got a rectractable one too from expansys

it has both USB and power(charge) connectors and it's really small.

I've had very bad experience with expansys. They take ages to deliver on items they claim to be in stock and once you order 3-4 days becomes 3-4 weeks or even more
They are also very expensive, so unless you cannot find it somewhere else, I would recommend you not to buy from expansys. They pissed me off and I will tell everyone how I feel about them.

I totally agree with you. I ordered my Socket BT card from them which claim to be able to ship in 5-days. I ended up waiting for 2 weeks before it finally arrived. They also don't respond to emails.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 1.1.0beta1 Is Out!

« on: January 11, 2006, 04:26:01 am »

Sometimes my whole screen goes blank, and then if i hit a key (like shift) it comes up entirely white. Usually I can get it to come up properly by hitting ALT-Tab a few times.

Has anyone else seen this? I didn't have this with RC12, so I thought maybe it was a ROM problem.

If no one else sees it though, then I'll assume I mucked something up myself.

Twice now on my 3100 I have suspended it...and it wouldn't come back.  playing with the little button under the screen did it the trick. Very annoying til I saw the post that mentioned it.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=110380\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I have beta1 installed on both my old C860 and the C3100 , I have the same suspend problem on the C3100. The C860 is ok. Dont know why, apart from the suspend problem it also seems that pdaXrom is more stable on C860 then on the C3100. I couldnt get Kismet to work on C3100 too even though i configure exactly the same
 as the C860 and using the same Wifi CF card.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Gaim Issue In Rc12

« on: December 22, 2005, 08:34:11 pm »

I install GAIM into RC12 and it work for a few times. Subsequently, it couldn't launch from the GUI. It complains of missing libao from lauching from the command line. After re-installing libao, GAIM is able to launch but can't connect to MSN as complains that "SSL support is needed for MSN..". Re-install gnutls but still having the same problem.

Anyone can help? Much appreciated. Thanks!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=104942\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I finally figure out what my problem was, which is due to missing symlinks. Somehow after every reboot some symlinks are gone and affecting Gaim and a few other programs. When I do a ipkg-link mount /mnt/user, I am able to get back the symlinks, temporary, until the next reboot which I will have to do the same to prevent the problem. I have pdaxrom installed in my c860 and c3100 and both of them have the same problem.
Does anyone know why do the symlinks always missing after a reboot? And should I overcome this rather then using the temp ipkg-link workaround?
Thanks!

Hi all,

I just got a new C3100 (replacing my C860) and wondering how do i check how much space is left in the internal flash storage. Sysinfo can only report on the space for the internal drive, SD/CF card and temp storage space.
Btw, i am using cacko 1.23 rom.
Thanks!

Sharp ROMs / Wifi Problem With Cacko 1.23 Lite

« on: November 24, 2005, 11:22:00 pm »

Would appreciate anyone that can advise me where or which file in the Z that keeps the dynamic IP address information from the previous connected wifi session?
Thanks!

Anyone can help? It is really annoying to reboot the Z whenever need to change network.

Sharp ROMs / Wifi Problem With Cacko 1.23 Lite

« on: November 23, 2005, 09:45:21 pm »

Did you setup 2 profiles, one for work and one for home?  Or do you just have a single 'auto' profile?

I had the same issue, but then just set a specific profile for both work and home, when you click connect it prompts you for which to use and I haven't had any trouble since (and have added 2 friends home connections as well).
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=104739\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I have specific profiles for both office and home. Same as you, it will connect when prompted for connection. But the dynamic address is still the same as the home's. My office address starts from 192.168.x.x but my home is 10.0.x.x. I did an experiment with my friend's access point and the same thing happen. So no matter which access point I connect too, the IP address will still be 10.0.x.x. The only way to resolve this now will be to reboot the Z.

Sharp ROMs / Wifi Problem With Cacko 1.23 Lite

« on: November 22, 2005, 11:36:47 pm »

I have a C860 and recently flashed with the Cacko 1.23 lite. I tend to move between my office network and my home network. I've an irritating problem with my Z when I have been using it on my home net and I try to get on at work.

In a nutshell - It associates with the AP at the office but does not DHCP. After a long inital connection it shows that it's associated and online but defaults to the IP / gateway / DNS info from my home network. After a re-boot it will associate and DHCP just fine.

I guess I'm looking for a quicker workaround that the full re-boot. Anyone have ideas on how to get it to either A) knock off this behaviour or  commands that will get it to release the old info and actually DHCP.

Thanks in advance

Sharp ROMs / Cacko 1.22 And Kismet/wellenreiter

« on: January 12, 2005, 10:59:14 am »

Hi,

Appreciate someone can help me out. I am a totally noob here. I managed to get Wellenreiter working. However, when I launch it, it says "You have started Wellenreiter as non-root. You will have only limited functionality. Proceed anyway?" If I click Yes, I am still able to detect the WiFi networks but certain functions are grey out, such as Intrusion etc..
I have already check the Execute with root privilege box.
Any idea? Help...

Sounds like you may not have the most current wellenreiter installed. If you installed opie-wellenreiter, remove it and install wellenreiter from the cacko feed. This version includes a wrapper that will run wellenreiter using sudo which will remove the error message you're getting. No need to write your own script or enter cardctl commands in the konsole before running Wellenreiter. Checking the "Run as Root" doesn't work for Wellenreiter.

Cheers,
Jerry

You are the MAN!! I had the older version from Wellenreiter. Thanks!!

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Rom 1.22 Is Available!

« on: January 07, 2005, 10:38:08 am »

Anton

Yes you can add to the FAQ

Made the donation, hope more will follow suite.

Some observations on the new ROM, will try to provide updates in the future, would you prefer to have the Word file?

Some areas appear much faster

Eject/Insert card(s) at switch-on appears to have gone, making it much quicker to start using the Zaurus.

No spontainious reboots so far.

Like the new battery+ applet, pity you can't see battery status when charging.

Still can't connect to the Internet via mobile phone using Infrared.

Any idea how you make Textmaker the default word processor AND make it open with the selected rather than a blank document.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Not sure if this can help but I also experience problem connectiing to the internet using the mobile phone via infrared initially but managed to get it done eventually. What you can try is that after configuring for a irda connection via Network, try connecting to the internet from the Netfront browser. Meaning is invoke the Netfront and it will will pop up the Connection Prompt and choose the irda connection to connect. This is the only method that works for me.
Not sure why, but other methods (eg. via Network applet) seems to be broken.

Sharp ROMs / Problem When Flashing Cacko 1.22 Rom

« on: January 03, 2005, 08:58:25 am »

Hello,

      After I had re-partition the flash to 27 M, the machine rebooted but it stuck at the sharp pleae wait....screen. And there is "Enter runlevel:" What is the problem??

Keidin

You need to perform step 2 - 10 of the installation process again. Meaning you need to remove the battery for 5 secs, put it back, press OK button together with the power button etc etc.. and subsequently install the ROM

Sharp ROMs / Cacko Rom 1.22 Is Available!

« on: January 02, 2005, 10:23:36 am »

well done to the cacko team! Thank you so much for bringing us the latest ROM!

Though I have one problem with my Buffalo WLI2-CF-S11 card. Don't seem to be recognised by the new ROM.

Apart from that, great job! Love the new icons!

This card should be supported. Please, check /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf file, find entry for your card and check if contains correct card info (get it with cardctl ident).

Thanks maslovsky, I get it working with your advice and changing the entry in the hostap_cs.conf file.

On a different note, I also get my Bluetooth card working with the new ROM!
Thank you so much!!
