Jun 02 09:05:06 we have a frontpage spammer on our hands Jun 02 09:06:31 * LaF0rge can do that, but I doubt it's one particular user account, is it? Jun 02 09:06:39 it is Jun 02 09:06:40 for now Jun 02 09:06:51 look: http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history Jun 02 09:07:05 check the diffs on pipa's edits Jun 02 09:07:36 for 4 times in 5 days Jun 02 09:07:50 so deactivate him...

I filed the backlight bug a while back. ;o) Jun 02 09:34:25 openmoko: 03mickey * r2122 10/trunk/src/target/OM-2007/artwork/themes/openmoko-standard/gtk-2.0/gtkbutton: oe/theme: reenable gtkbutton borders Jun 02 09:37:01 backlight bug has been fixed yesterday nite Jun 02 09:37:31 mickey|LinuxTag - I know. I was there and tested it straight after the kernel turned up on buildhost. Jun 02 09:38:29 ah right Jun 02 09:38:32 * mickey|LinuxTag overtired Jun 02 09:39:06 mickey|LinuxTag - BTW: I'll go to GPN today and bring the P0 there. It seems noone else brought a neo there. ;-) Jun 02 09:41:30 pioneer ;) Jun 02 09:42:00 ;-) Jun 02 09:43:11 BTW: I hope the buttons on the P1 are really better. Jun 02 09:45:31 slightly Jun 02 09:46:35 The power button on this thing sometimes feels like it doesn't come out again. Jun 02 09:46:46 ya, same here Jun 02 09:46:52 no tactile feedback Jun 02 09:46:56 my bv2 was better Jun 02 09:48:01 Well, while pressing there is feedback, but when I release it, it sometimes doesn't come out again. And then I'm using my fingernail to help it out. Jun 02 09:56:26 Elrond: OK (timing was kind of perfect for telpathy hypothesis ;-) (or he followed irc discussion) Jun 02 09:57:26 aloril2 - Yes. ;-) Jun 02 09:57:42 has anybody compiled OpenTTD for the Neo yet? Jun 02 10:00:53 s:telpathy:telepathy: Jun 02 10:02:19 LuitvD - Is that this railroad simulation game? Jun 02 10:02:36 Elrond: the SimCity-like game Jun 02 10:02:53 Transport Tycoon Deluxe Jun 02 10:02:53 transport tycoon <3 Jun 02 10:03:05 if i just got the music to work on openttd Jun 02 10:03:10 is it even possible? Jun 02 10:03:45 It should be possible. Jun 02 10:04:12 then i must Jun 02 10:04:19 've just put the files into wrong dir Jun 02 10:04:34 does it compile for arm? Jun 02 10:04:47 hm, so if LaF0rge is following irc, it means he is not doing QA, and that means that they havn't received a batch of phones yet .. ugh .. hehe :P Jun 02 10:05:13 Or he's goofing off, and not working 25*7 Jun 02 10:05:33 hehe Jun 02 10:06:04 shame, shame, shame Jun 02 10:06:09 SpeedEvil - ;-)) Jun 02 10:06:51 So after I received the neo... my first kernel flashing. ;o) (I normally load new kernel only into RAM and boot them there.) Jun 02 10:06:57 .. looks good so far. :-) Jun 02 10:07:05 So you're now a flasher? Jun 02 10:07:15 *G* Jun 02 10:13:30 <-- heads away. Jun 02 10:14:31 hio elrond ;) Jun 02 10:18:26 emulator? Jun 02 10:18:43 Is the phone usable as a music player? Jun 02 10:18:43 Tronic: See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ (Hopefully this link answers your question. This autotrigger for new nick and question during first 15 minutes done only once.) Jun 02 10:22:22 I haven't seen anyone say if the software is there yet Jun 02 10:24:49 somebody here mentioned playing music with it, I believe with some command line player though ;) Jun 02 10:33:39 The UI of a player doesn't matter much. The only thing needed is random play with a "next" button. Jun 02 10:33:49 I'm sure a music player will be one of the first things done after P1 gets going Jun 02 10:34:04 But is the hardware suitable? Jun 02 10:34:25 Tronic: heh, I built one of those in hardware once (random play+next button) Jun 02 10:34:37 Does it have 3.5 mm headphone connector, memory card slot (for several gigabytes of storage), etc. Jun 02 10:34:51 Tronic, It has micro SD which can store several gigabytes cheaply. Jun 02 10:34:53 I believe so, they've talked of a decoder, and there is a microSD and 3.5mm on it Jun 02 10:34:57 or was it 2.5mm? Jun 02 10:35:38 Well, seems usable in any case. 3.5 mm would be nicer even if it makes the phone bigger, but there are adapters for 2.5 mm too. Jun 02 10:35:38 2.5mm Jun 02 10:36:05 2.5mm is still worlds better then proprietary Jun 02 10:36:05 At the moment, it's 2.5mm, headset adaptor - the 'normal' one amongst phones. Jun 02 10:36:56 Hardware isn't optimal for an MP3 player - the CPU has to run 3 times faster than it'd need to to decode mp3. Jun 02 10:37:10 Which hurts batterywise.

Jun 02 18:24:10 Naah - they've got to learn to juggle each phone for 6 hours at a time. Jun 02 18:24:21 heh Jun 02 18:24:37 That's only 600 hours though, so it's not too bad. Jun 02 18:25:35 * DukeOfURL wondering if there's anything in GSM that precludes sending hex digits using DTMF... Jun 02 18:27:21 The screen isn't wide enough. Jun 02 18:27:43 wide enough? Jun 02 18:28:24 Yeah - for the A-D keys. Jun 02 18:30:43 well, there are four rows and four columns, which is 16 frequency pairs. Jun 02 18:31:12 im thinking moko to PBX communication without data plan. Jun 02 18:31:36 afteri the call has been established Jun 02 18:32:13 It should work. Jun 02 18:32:18 As I understand it. Jun 02 18:32:24 DukeOfURL: Keep in mind that P1 is targeted at developers not at end users. Jun 02 18:32:52 I've been developing since the 60s :-) Jun 02 18:32:53 (^refers to pre-order) Jun 02 18:51:37 Something seems broken.

Jun 02 21:48:40 QA in progress. Jun 02 21:48:48 Cool. Jun 02 21:48:58 1K or so done Jun 02 21:49:02 Anything i need to do to be considered for pre-market purchase? Jun 02 21:49:20 obtain 350 purchase vouchers. Jun 02 21:49:25 ($) Jun 02 21:50:29 (US) Jun 02 21:50:46 Zimbabwe dollars will not work :) Jun 02 21:51:12 Are the vouchers available now, or do I need to wait until they're ready? Jun 02 21:52:00 Err - sorry, /me was being obscure. Jun 02 21:52:08 You simply need 350 us dollars. Jun 02 21:52:21 And a little patience :) Jun 02 21:52:56 * pawalls nods. Jun 02 21:52:57 Cool. Jun 02 21:55:13 Hello Jun 02 22:14:08 Anyone around? Jun 02 22:18:59 I am, but I'm not of any use here I guess... Jun 02 22:20:13 im around too Jun 02 22:20:23 * xkr47 is asquare Jun 02 22:20:30 heh Jun 02 22:20:40 anyone atriangle? :) Jun 02 22:20:49 me Jun 02 22:23:00 usagi__, so, we're all set here :) Jun 02 22:23:20 :) Jun 02 22:23:59 Anyone an expert on the OpenMoko phone? Jun 02 22:24:33 usagi__: what is your question? Jun 02 22:25:36 What ports does it currently have? Jun 02 22:26:23 usb, a few GPIO, mic, spk L, Spk R, charging have i missed any? Jun 02 22:26:50 external antenna? Jun 02 22:27:07 hm.. cant say ive seen one in the pics, but yeah, could definitly have that Jun 02 22:27:09 i2c maybe ? Jun 02 22:27:24 yes, i think that was planed, not sure which version has it though Jun 02 22:27:25 at least P2 will have a car kit with an external antenna Jun 02 22:27:45 charging = usb btw Jun 02 22:27:48 I2C/SPI is solderable-to Jun 02 22:27:51 ok cool Jun 02 22:27:53 oh, right, i forgot Jun 02 22:28:04 it's not brought out on a normal connector, only the debug connector Jun 02 22:28:10 what is P2? Phase 2? Jun 02 22:28:15 yes Jun 02 22:28:18 September Jun 02 22:28:22 and headset plug Jun 02 22:28:53 yep headset plug is GND,MIC,SPKL,SPKR Jun 02 22:29:05 The first one has no bluetoth or wifi right? Jun 02 22:29:06 P1.5 will likely have WiFi (Atheros AR6K): http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/announce/2007-April/000012.html http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_What_is_the_rationale_behind_the_exclusion_of_WiFi.3F (WiFi status for P1.5 will be known for sure when P1 becomes available and also what kind of discount for P1.5 is given for P1 buyers) Jun 02 22:29:18 first one HAS bluetooth Jun 02 22:29:35 good, but no wifi Jun 02 22:29:39 correct Jun 02 22:29:47 afawk :) Jun 02 22:30:31 P1+ is supposed to have wifi added Jun 02 22:30:39 with wifi it would be posssible to switch between VOIP and cell networks Jun 02 22:30:49 that would be awesome Jun 02 22:30:52 yes, thats one of the reasons we all want it Jun 02 22:30:54 Indeed. Jun 02 22:31:08 if only bluetooth was popular and had longer range ;-) Jun 02 22:31:16 heh Jun 02 22:31:17 :) Jun 02 22:31:29 harald bluetooth Jun 02 22:32:02 Is the screen OLED? Jun 02 22:32:31 actually i don't know, good question, anyone? Jun 02 22:32:53 let's check the hardware page Jun 02 22:32:57 if it says backlight, then no Jun 02 22:33:20 yeah, pretty sure it has a backlight Jun 02 22:33:22 It's LCD Jun 02 22:33:26 TFT+backlight. Jun 02 22:33:34 Not reflective at all though. Jun 02 22:33:55 LCD is bad in the sun though Jun 02 22:34:05 isn't the reflectivity only up to the thin films on each side of the crystal glass ? Jun 02 22:34:05 OLED isn't any better at the same power. Jun 02 22:34:15 xkr47: not quite. Jun 02 22:34:28 ok Jun 02 22:34:42 You have a tradeoff between backlight and reflectivity. Jun 02 22:34:49 If you have a mirror, you get max reflectivity. Jun 02 22:34:50 true Jun 02 22:34:56 But, no backlight can get through. Jun 02 22:34:56 yeah Jun 02 22:35:08 if you have the opposite.. you get great backlight transmission Jun 02 22:35:09 The neo is the opposite - no reflector. Jun 02 22:35:23 The amount of light getting out sucks though. Jun 02 22:35:32 Half is eaten by the polariser. Jun 02 22:35:48 Then 2/3 is eaten by hitting a pixel of the wrong colour. Jun 02 22:35:48 should be a motor swapping the film behind the lcd between mirror and transmissive :) Jun 02 22:35:50 I heard OLED uses less battery for the same brightness Jun 02 22:35:53 So at best you get 1/3 out. Jun 02 22:36:02 usagi__: it's complex. Jun 02 22:36:10 OLED at teh moment is very inefficient. Jun 02 22:36:28 oh Jun 02 22:36:37 Compared to 'normal' LEDs Jun 02 22:37:12 SpeedEvil, well if you are showing white pixels I guess they get 50% light? Jun 02 22:37:18 No. Jun 02 22:37:32 sorry for making stupid assumptions and suggesting them out loud Jun 02 22:37:32 :) Jun 02 22:37:43 The light doesn't know that it needs to go through a red pixel if it's red. Jun 02 22:37:59 So it can try to go through any pixel. Jun 02 22:38:10 ah now I get it Jun 02 22:38:14 And 2/3 of it hits the wrong sort. Jun 02 22:38:27 So at best 1/6th of the light from the backlight gets out. Jun 02 22:38:49 and if you're red, green or blue, only a third of that Jun 02 22:38:54 It's similar - though worse for light coming through the front. Jun 02 22:39:09 So do you think the phone is currently using the best display? Jun 02 22:39:18 you're -> you're showing Jun 02 22:39:27 Well - that's true, but on no display does it get three times as bright if you show red than white Jun 02 22:39:33 usagi__: hard to say. Jun 02 22:39:38 :) Jun 02 22:39:41 yeah Jun 02 22:39:43 It uses comparatively large amounts of power. Jun 02 22:39:50 But it's good in medium-low light. Jun 02 22:40:09 I guess you don't get much more dpi than what it gives Jun 02 22:40:19 But you can't for example - have a screensaver with no backlight. Jun 02 22:40:33 Which black and white LCDs can trivially give you at almost no power cost. Jun 02 22:41:23 lcd off is the best screensaver Jun 02 22:41:26 ;) Jun 02 22:41:33 Well, I disagree. Jun 02 22:41:47 If you can for almost no power have a near-fixed display, that can be very nice. Jun 02 22:41:53 why wouldn't it be possible to have the backlight on the sides of the LCD? Jun 02 22:41:55 Showing clock, missed calls, ... Jun 02 22:41:56 there should be a hole in the side letting light in to function as backlight ;) Jun 02 22:42:08 Vegar: sides? Jun 02 22:42:11 or in the back Jun 02 22:42:31 SpeedEvil: instead of behind Jun 02 22:42:34 xkr47: that gets complex though. Jun 02 22:42:39 Vegar: err - why? Jun 02 22:42:39 sure Jun 02 22:42:48 * xkr47 stops speculating wildly Jun 02 22:42:53 Vegar: you mean on the front? Jun 02 22:42:54 :) Jun 02 22:42:57 SpeedEvil: yes Jun 02 22:43:16 Vegar: You can - but then you tend to need to get it out at a reasonable angle, or it just bounces off. Jun 02 22:43:44 So you'd need an LED sticking way up over the display Jun 02 22:43:48 ah Jun 02 22:44:02 Which is not impossible - but would look strange. Jun 02 22:44:20 forgot about that Jun 02 22:44:32 Also - touchscreens, and it gets messy. Jun 02 22:44:33 same technique used in fibre optics Jun 02 22:44:37 As fingers cast shadows. Jun 02 22:44:45 'lo Jun 02 22:44:50 ' Jun 02 22:45:22 heh Jun 02 22:45:29 hel'lo Jun 02 22:45:50 OLED will probably evolve to the point in some years when it's efficient enough to replace LCDs. But it's not there yet - either in terms of efficiency or life. Jun 02 22:46:25 emissive LCDs I mean, not reflective. Jun 02 22:46:31 Then there is e-paper and stuff. Jun 02 22:46:32 why not just polish the eyeballs of everyone who buys a phone :P pitchblack style Jun 02 22:46:40 problem solved Jun 02 22:46:49 what was it that the olpc had for display Jun 02 22:47:01 It's a wierd reflective LCD, that may also have promise. Jun 02 22:47:18 I heard in black-white mode the picture stays even without power Jun 02 22:47:24 or maybe minimal power, dunno Jun 02 22:47:26 Not true alas. Jun 02 22:47:29 It's minimal power. Jun 02 22:47:38 yeah thought so.. Jun 02 22:47:41 There is an ASIC - or will be in the release version - that refreshes the screen. Jun 02 22:47:46 Without the CPU needing to be on. Jun 02 22:47:50 I worked on FLCD displays that kept the picture without power Jun 02 22:48:04 That's a problem in the neo - the CPU has to be on at full speed in order to run the LCD. Jun 02 22:48:13 :P Jun 02 22:48:54 can you hook up, say a keyboard, to the usb port? Jun 02 22:48:57 Sure. Jun 02 22:49:00 You'll need power. Jun 02 22:49:06 ^ Jun 02 22:49:08 However, bluetooth may be a better solution. Jun 02 22:49:19 right Jun 02 22:49:25 There are ~$30 credit-card sized bluetooth keybs. Jun 02 22:49:27 is it usb 2.0? Jun 02 22:49:29 nope Jun 02 22:49:30 11 Jun 02 22:49:37 k Jun 02 22:49:47 that's cool Jun 02 22:50:02 I believe 2.0 is overrated Jun 02 22:50:13 just faster right? Jun 02 22:50:24 they are limited by what chipset they can use because very few mobile chipsets are open Jun 02 22:50:40 2.0 is nice just so that the limit won't be 12M in case you need 20 Jun 02 22:50:48 and the chipset they picked only had usb 1.1 Jun 02 22:51:01 Few mobile low-power chipsets have usb2 Jun 02 22:51:06 At least in host mode. Jun 02 22:52:22 I actually don't know much about bluetooth, is there a limit to the number of devices you can have per antenna? Jun 02 22:52:24 * xkr47 wants openmoko with an esata port ;--) Jun 02 22:53:34 usagi__: Not really. Jun 02 22:53:56 that's great Jun 02 22:54:10 Some of the TI OMAP devices look interesting. Embedded DSP, and really low power. Jun 02 22:54:31 are there bluetooth displays? Jun 02 22:54:38 Not really. Jun 02 22:54:49 I think the bandwidth wouldn't bee enough Jun 02 22:54:54 Too slow for most stuff. Jun 02 22:54:55 hehe Jun 02 22:55:03 Though you could have a bluetooth x terminal. Jun 02 22:55:11 a bluetooth-based docking station would be cool Jun 02 22:55:21 bluetooth vt100 terminal ;) Jun 02 22:55:47 xkr47: Now you're being silly. Jun 02 22:55:58 yep :D Jun 02 22:56:03 xkr47, that's called ssh ;) Jun 02 22:56:20 I just took an amber-coloured vtxxx terminal to the recycling senter Jun 02 22:56:25 I thought the Neo _is_ a Bluetooth X terminal Jun 02 22:56:35 man that little 10" think weighed as much as my 19" crt Jun 02 22:56:48 mjr: I mean something like a 6" LCD with power lead and bluetooth. Jun 02 22:57:08 You connect to it as any other X display. Jun 02 23:01:17 SpeedEvil: your IRC client has a bold colon again. Jun 02 23:01:32 it's funny; my client can handle UTF8 just fine, but it doesn't like these control characters. Jun 02 23:01:38 Odd. Jun 02 23:01:41 :: Jun 02 23:01:46 that's fine Jun 02 23:02:23 SpeedEvil, it only does it for (something that it guesses to be) a nick, apparently Jun 02 23:02:31 Sigh. Jun 02 23:02:45 What service do cell phones use to get internet, is it just broadcast through the network or something like satellite? Jun 02 23:02:48 * mjr guesses bitchx, but no version from you :] Jun 02 23:02:57 usagi__: same as the voice calls Jun 02 23:03:03 usagi__, hmh? normal cell network Jun 02 23:03:20 usagi__: there is an underlying data protocol, and they use that for voice and data and fax and sms and foo Jun 02 23:03:35 okay Jun 02 23:03:48 unless they use GPRS? Jun 02 23:03:56 GPRS is over GSM network Jun 02 23:04:09 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM Jun 02 23:04:29 The protocol may just be used to negotiate the data on another frequency - things depend. Jun 02 23:04:51 and the neo does not support edge? Jun 02 23:04:55 Nope. Jun 02 23:05:09 At the moment, GSM is 90% or so of the global market. Jun 02 23:05:19 Edge radios are a bit more expensive. Jun 02 23:05:28 And not everyone can use it. Jun 02 23:05:50 according to the wikipedia page, EDGE is over GSM Jun 02 23:05:59 Yeah. Jun 02 23:06:10 But it's not standard - and not rolled out everywhere. Jun 02 23:06:23 "Higher speed data transmission has also been introduced with EDGE in the Release '99 version of the standard." Jun 02 23:06:24 Or ratehr - it's a newer standard. Jun 02 23:06:27 standard Jun 02 23:06:41 so for the neo to support edge, it'd need hardware changes Jun 02 23:07:33 Same as for the faster CDMA/HSDPA/UMTS or whatever standards. Jun 02 23:07:48 Though edge modems tend to be a bit cheaper than those. Jun 02 23:13:56 is bluetooth something you could use for syncing apps with a base computer? Jun 02 23:14:41 sure. Jun 02 23:16:04 I think I'll buy 10 of thses when it's finished. :) Jun 02 23:19:14 I going to take off, thank you all for being so knowledgeable. This is a very exciting project ;) Jun 02 23:19:32 Wave.
