Astro Slide - Linux / Got the firmware dumped. Ready to break the phone!

« on: December 07, 2022, 11:43:22 am »

I have managed after some head banging to dump my Astro firmware on my M1 Mac. With a backup in hand I am now ready to start messing with things.
I would probably be fine with a VM running Linux on the device if it ran at full speed. Do I need to unlock it to be able to run a VM?

Cosmo Communicator - Android / ESIM settings lost and found

« on: December 03, 2019, 07:31:48 pm »

This morning a funny thing happened.  I had previoiusly configured my Cosmo to use an esim but when I opened it to use it outside the wifi coverage the first time I found I had no cell bar or 4G indicator.  esim was still enabled in cosmo settings but I went to the esim wallet and it was empty - no error, just my esim had gone.

I got the activation code again and scanned it but the wallet crashed which I remembered from my first attempt seemed to mean that it could not communicate with the chip.

I used the Save and Exit button which disabled the chip, then I reenabled.  Still no sim.  Repeated the process and the sim returned.

I noted that after the sim was displayed, I no longer had the save and exit button.

I will try to see what causes it to lose the SIM.  I had replaced the SD card and launcher as well as done several restarts without paying much attention as wifi was working.

Cosmo Communicator - General Discussion / Verizon

« on: November 29, 2019, 08:03:39 pm »

I purchased the Verizon Edition because I wanted to use the device with my existing Verizon account.  It did not work as the ID was not recognized as a supported Verizon device.  I suspect that certification is not yet completed, that they were hoping that it would happen before the devices arrived in the USA.  Has anyone else tried to connect to Verizon?  What was your experience?

PLANET COMPUTERS ANNOUNCES AVAILABILTY OF OXI ON GEMINI PDA
Monday 25 February 2019
• OXI transforms Gemini PDA into desktop workstation
• OXI subscription will be available when purchasing official HDMI cable from Planet Store: store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/accessories
• OXI on the Gemini PDA on show at Mobile World Congress 2019 – visit Planet Computers in Hall 7, Stand 7K40

MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, Barcelona: Planet Computers, in conjunction with mobile software developer Auxens, announces the availability of OXI for the Gemini PDA. OXI is an Android-based virtual operating system that enables users to run both mobile and virtual applications in a multi-window desktop environment.

By connecting the Gemini PDA to an external display, OXI provides a fluid desktop user experience: reducing mouse latency and enabling easier access to CPU resources, as well as providing the ability to launch business applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office.

OXI enables users to edit documents and complete multiple tasks simultaneously in different windows, while still being able to use the Gemini’s large 5.99-inch screen – including the ability to take calls and send/receive messages.

The Gemini PDA links to an external secondary HD display and runs OXI via Gemini's USB-C to HDMI accessory. Windows can be resized full screen with the touch of a button for maximum productivity and to streamline workflows. Push notifications appear on the right hand side of the desktop display, so users never miss the latest notifications.

Dr Janko Mrsic-Flogel, CEO of Planet Computers, comments: “The smartphone is essential to the way people work. Gemini was designed to offer something unique to the mobile handset market: a productivity tool that allows users to work and play from a single device with an integrated keyboard. Our collaboration with Auxens takes this to a whole new level – creating a multi-window desktop experience from a PDA.”

Laurent Alaguero, President of Auxens, added: “By connecting your Gemini PDA to a monitor or dock station, OXI allows you to use it as your main computer – meaning your entire digital environment now fits in your pocket.”

OXI for the Gemini PDA will be available when purchasing official HDMI cable from the Planet store.

Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Any news from MWC?

« on: February 24, 2019, 06:02:58 pm »

I know Davide and colleagues are probably busy with the show but it would be really great if we could get some updated info on the Cosmo. Is the launch still on track?  Will the charging support PD?  Will any resolutions other than 1080p be available on the new chip?  How is the external display looking?

Gemini PDA - Linux / First signs of support entering mainline

« on: November 02, 2018, 11:20:28 am »

I saw this in my email this morning:

Code: [Select]

This patchset adds initial pinctrl support for Mediatek MT6797 SoC.
The pinctrl driver is based on the vendor binding as like MT6765 and
implements only GPIO and pinmux functionalities.

The devicetree binding document consists of pinmux, pinconf and
interrupt functionalities documented since the binding should describe
what the hardware is capable of rather than what the driver offers.

This patchset has been tested on 96Boards MediatekX20 development board.

Thanks,
Mani

Changes in v2:

* Added devicetree bindings for Pin Controller
* Dropped the applied warning fix patch
* Added Tested-by tag from Matthias Brugger
* Added Acked-by tag from Sean Wang
