Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / bad touchscreen sensitivity

« on: January 26, 2020, 07:24:44 am »

I have problem with touchscreen not properly registering touches when Cosmo sits on the table and I do not hold it in my hands or touch the backside of screen at the same time. This results in not scrolling at all, selecting links instead of scrolling, not registering response to on screen dialogs, etc.

To see the magnitude of the issue I installed a paint program and tried to paint vertical lines from top to bottom. The worst is always right side of the screen. See attached screenshot, yes there should have been lines, no dots. And in one case no line or dots at all. I can produce many of these with similar result.

I believe others have this problem as well, mistakenly thinking that it is actually android lagging. Also some people mentioned this on Indiegogo.

Can someone else please try the same? Important is to not touch Cosmo anywhere else at the same time, only paint on touchscreen.

And at last - my Gemini does not have this problem at all.

I already looked if touchscreen sensitivity can be adjusted somehow, but did not find any.

Just dowloading OTA update to 3.0.2.8. According change log, high battery drain caused by wifi should be fixed. If that is true, it will be great.

Gemini PDA - Sailfish OS / phone call under 3.0.1.11

« on: January 18, 2019, 12:23:03 pm »

Can anyone please test phone call under newest sailfish 3.0.1.11? In my case is always active speaker on the side with headphone jack, but so is the microphone! Does not mean that the other caller cannot hear me, but the quality of the call is reduced.

And BTW, silver button now does something, but only silencing the ring or vibration, still does not work to answer a call.

Sharp ROMs / Cf Wifi Symbol La-4137 Stays Suspended In Cacko

« on: December 12, 2007, 07:37:07 am »

I found one topic regarding this CF wifi under Cacko but it was not resolved. (or I am dumb     )
The cardctl ident says this:

Code: [Select]

  product info: "Symbol", "Spectrum24 LA4100 Series WLAN PC Card", "1.00"
  manfid: 0x026c, 0x0001
  function: 6 (network)
The dmesg says this:

Code: [Select]

orinoco 0.15rc2HEAD (David Gibson , Pavel Roskin , et al)
spectrum_cs 0.15rc2HEAD (Pavel Roskin , David Gibson , et al)
wlan0: Hardware identity 8000:0001:0000:0000
wlan0: Station identity  0021:0002:0002:0001

pxa_pcmcia_suspend(0)
everything nice except the last line, the card goes to suspend state. Well I do:

Code: [Select]

cardctl resumeand get this dmesg:

Code: [Select]

remove_proc_entry: pcmcia:spectrum_cs/loading busy, count=1
remove_proc_entry: firmware/pcmcia:spectrum_cs busy, count=1
de_put: deferred delete of loading
de_put: deferred delete of pcmcia:spectrum_cs
remove_proc_entry: pcmcia:spectrum_cs/loading busy, count=1
remove_proc_entry: firmware/pcmcia:spectrum_cs busy, count=1
de_put: deferred delete of loading
de_put: deferred delete of pcmcia:spectrum_cs
pxa_pcmcia_suspend(0)
My understanding from different discussions is that this card needs to have firmware uploaded in it everytime it is inserted or resumed.

I found following files in /etc/hotplug/firmware

symbol_sp24t_prim_fw
symbol_sp24t_sec_fw

looks promissing, but what now?

Suggestions?

(and yes - card does not work, iwconfig says "no wireless extensions" etc....)
