<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello Jack,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I started with a GTA04A4 with empty
Flash and a newly bought 16GB SD-Card Class 10. I reformatted the SD-Card
manually because I wanted to get practice. So I called "fdisk"
and set up 255 "heads", 63 sectors and 1947 "cylinders"
(-> Why on earth is this necessary on an SD-Card??). Then I used the
link provided by mail from Golden Delicious yesterday in order to download
QtMoko v39, copied and untared this onto the card. That's all. There shouldn't
be any chance to get trouble with several versions. If this QtMoko didn't
make it automatically, Flashes of my GTA04 still should be empty, because
I didn't flash anything by myself.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello,</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I'm completely new to Openmoko. Thanks to Golden Delicious on monday I
received the brandnew GTA04A4. For 29 EUR I got a 16 GB Class 10 Micro-SD-Card.
Yesterday I put the brandnew QtMoko v39 on it and began to start. I think
it can be useful for you if I tell you the adventures I then experienced...
;-))</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Thanks to this mailinglist I already knew that it's not recommended to
start without a SIM plugged in. So after passing the first pictures with
touch calibrating and typing in PIN I looked a little bit around in the
menues and then of course I wanted to explore if it's possible to phone
with the phone. I typed in the number of my currently used mobile and the
miracle happend that it really began to ring. Then I touched the cancel
button because I didn't want to spend money in order to phone with myself.
The GTA04A4 returned to the previous screen. But the other mobile continued
to ring and to ring and to ring... In the end I stopped it by pressing
the cancel button on it, too... ;-))</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Then I tried to call the GTA04A4. It really began to ring. Exactly once.
Then it showed "1 missed call". Then it rang again. Then it showed
a second message "1 missed call". Then it rang again... In the
end I pressed the cancel button on my mobile... ;-))</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
After that I explored the menues of telephone contacts and calls and so
on more deeply. I wanted to remove the "missed call"-messages.
But where on earth is the "delete"-button? I tried everything,
but the messages are still there, just jamming the list... :-(</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
OK, I became more brave. I explored the telephone settings, searching for
the possibility to enter my APN. After little time I found it. I got the
field "APN" and a blinking cursor. But how on earth should I
enter letters with a touch without showing a keyboard? I tried and found
a menu with the entry "change input method" and with that I got
a keyboard shown. It showed only letters. How should I enter the period
with that, needed for the APN? No chance! No period! :-(
I thought that all the others of you (the GTA04-community) also must
have managed to enter their APN and so I began a struggle with the GTA04
and after some time and only by accident I got another keyboard. It was
such microscopic little that it was impossible to decode the meaning of
some keys, but at least it offered me a period. So I won the fight! I succeded
to enter the two periods for the APN. \o/ \o/ \o/</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Of course my next step was to search for a browser. But in this case, the
GTA04 won the fight. I searched and searched and searched, but couldn't
find a browser. Is there one already included in QtMoko v39 ?</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Second question: On my way to find the possibility the APN I accidently
touched the wrong button. Instead of "GPRS" I activated "Ethernet"
(the menu entry once above). But where's the possibility to remove this
entry again? No possibility to delete it any more... :-(</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I played some more with some features I found randomly and more and more
I got the impression that it's really nice and lovely. Yes I already really
like it! And while you're fixing lots of crazy bugs (yes, when ordering
the GTA04 from Golden Delicious I've been aware that this will be my ticket
for entering a mine field...) I only have some more hopefully simple questions:</font><font size=3>
<br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- How can I supply my own ring tones?</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- How can I supply a "video ring tone"?</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- How can I use IrDA if I don't want to open the case in order to access
UART3 with a terminal from my Ubuntu 11.04 PC?</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
- How can I switch off the display? It doesn't make any sence that it's
constantly on even when not being used for hours?</font><font size=3> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
