Is it just my setup, or does the glossy frontend kill mpc playing a tune in a rather nasty way?

Try adding a new script to /etc/titchy-phone-daemon/event.d to pause mpd  -  that way it will release the audio device, and it won't get killed by the ringtone script.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/dash
case "$1" in
ring)
  mpc pause
 ;;
esac
(Remember to make it executable).

I ofter find that the network is inaccessible due to some crash probably etc. and have to restart titchy-phone-daemon, but some notification of this is desirable.

Can you give any more details?  Does titchy-phone-daemon die?  Does running

Code: [Select]

titchy-phone-daemon network auto reconnect it to the network?

Occasionally I've noticed the radio crash (I see 'DEBUGMSG 99' in /var/log/titchy-phone-daemon, and it stops responding). In Windows Mobile, this causes the phone to reboot automatically; I'd like to provide some sort of notification that a reboot is needed rather than do it automatically, or even reset just the radio if there's a way to do that.  That's the only radio-related problem I have, though.

Further thoughts just as ideas for the console:

The SMS and calls list should list all historical calls and SMS, not only current ones in the session as is the case.
They should be threaded.
They should be reverse-chronologically sorted, with bold or color difference between unread SMS and read ones.

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to work on this at the moment, and these features aren't a priority.  For me, the UI is meant to show a small amount of information quickly (and attractively    ) and not get in the way of the underlying console.  You're quite welcome to have a go yourself though.

I would very much like to find the time to write a "proxy" for msmtp and titchy-phone-daemon, so I can use my e-mail client to send, as well as read, SMS.  That will probably be my next project once titchy-phoneui-glossy is a bit more polished.

Hi guys,
I got a problem right now: I am locked out from my TitchyMobile:
At the login prompt I get a title:
This is an unsecure session

After that I type
root
root
Then I see for a moment a title: Login successful!
And the desktop starts to loading, but in that moment I get back to the login prompt. And I can try to log in as many times as I want, but the system throws me back to the login...

Please help!

but having HiQ video is sorta important I think

I've lost the ability to play HiQ video on the Uni satisfactorily after a cycle of apt upgrades.

My experimentation with it has shown a surprising result: I booted into Windows Mobile, and using TCPMP was able to play any and all mpgs with great viewing quality, no choppiness, even the original ones 640x480, not reencoded for smoother playback.

So the Universal is able to play 640x480 video with no probs.

The problem then lay on the debian decoding end. mplayer, ffmpeg, totem, nothing seems to currently be able to play the original non-reencoded mpgs, even the reencoded ones are not watchable, it's too slow, choppy...

But if Windows Mobile can do it, it surely must be possible under Debian. So far playing with it, and searching the web, hasn't indicated to me any good solution.

I tried to play a video for the first time today.  The best results I got were with a pre-rotated 480x640 video using:

Code: [Select]

export SDL_NOMOUSE=1
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=fbcon
mplayer -vo sdl ...I can only get around 18fps with no sound  -  sound reduces it to about 12fps.

Not an error I've ever seen.  Looks like there are several possible causes.

I have tried all of these ideas, but nothing changed.
If someone has an idea, how can I disable xdm login prompt or solve this issue, please feel free to answer me.

Thank You!

I understand what you're saying, in fact I just meant my observations as food for thought, in case you were working on some of those aspects still. I don't have much time to spare currently either, that's why I haven't ventured to pitch in with the above mentioned changes, plus I almost don't use the frontend, just text manipulate the SMS and call logs etc. so that's fine for me...

How do you measure playback fps?

Yes it work, but KDE is to slow on Uni I think whith 128mb ram upgrade is acceptabile working
titchy-desktop work fine

[kitor]

If disable some things, don't use all visual effects - it will be cool. I sold my uni because i had something wrong with hardware - it shows me only radio recalibration errors on wifi (on wm worked ok), where other uni on the same card/image was working OK. My friend bought a box of damaged PDAs (about 500 wizards, uni's and magicans) and promised me that he will sold me one working with low prince
