Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Gpe-image
« on: April 19, 2005, 01:20:17 pm »
hi, just want to say im a relitively new oz user, but have had some time to use 3.5.2, and upgraded to 3.5.3 aparently days before the official release, so i thought id mention some issues that i have found...
im using 3.5.3 on a sl-5500
first: a flat out bug..
1: press and hold the "home" button on your zaurus..
2: press and hold the "space" button (inset button in the joystick like controller thingie..),
tada, the system crashes. or at the very least seems to, restarting requires flipping the battery switch and rebooting the device..
now this style of crash is important to note, since its been happing a lot in other places, scrolling through the text editor with a large text file, or even scrolling around in the k-browser..
another issue i noticed is sending a jpeg file from a cell phone over infared to the zaurus, the zaurus tries to display a thumbnail of the image, it fails miserably only displaying a grey box..
time, setting the time throught the launchers "get toime from network" feature, only seems to set the time for about a minute, then the clock updates to the previous incorrect time + 1 minute..
the usual package manager stuff, but you seem to know the issues with that already..
sorry for the extensive rant, and dont take it as an indictment in any way, ive tried the most recent zaurus rom, and while more stable.. its really not what i wanted, oz really is, or rather will be once i can rely on it.
