<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello Christoph, Radek and all others,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">thank you for your answers and your
further inquiries. Over the weekend I played around some more with QtMoko
and I can tell you the following:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Starting the phone</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I always have to boot it twice. After
poweron and first boot it will hang showing the numeric keypad and the
message "Please Wait...". I can touch numbers but I don't have
an unlock button. I have to press the power button instead and choose "Restart
Device". Only after the second boot I get the message "Enter
PIN then press Unlock".</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Power management</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I charge the battery completely. After
constantly seeing five balks "Applications" / "NeoControl"
shows me:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Capacity: 100</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Voltage: 4184000</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Charge: 1097775 (which
indeed seems to be maximum)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Energy: 3946380 (which
indeed seems to be maximum)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Temperature: 316</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I switch off the Phone by pressing the
power button and choosing "Shutdown Device", then I remove the
power supply. After twelve hours lying on my table by a constant surrounding
temperature of 17-19 °C I switch it on again and after having the chance
to enter my PIN, I see only three balks. "NeoControl" shows me:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Capacity: 62</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Voltage: 3853000</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Charge: 678657 (constantly
decreasing)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Energy: 2500980 (constantly
decreasing)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> Temperature: 266</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The secret service of which country
had access to my phone in the meantime?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Power supply</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">With an USB connection to a PC or with
an USB AC adapter from a Sony Ericsson handy (that obviously activly replies
to USB requests) I got no problems. But with a simple USB AC adapter that
only delivers power without reacting on USB requests I got very strange
results. First the phone didn't react at all. Later the icon in the upper
right corner showed charging. So never I would have expected that after
some time of charging I'll suddenly get the message that the battery is
about to run very low. Much more surprised I've been to see that after
removing the supply the icon still showed charging and charging and charging
and charging......</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Outgoing calls</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It's 100% reproducible and doesn't matter
when you try it. You call a number, let it ring once or twice, then touch
"End Call". The called phone will continue to ring as long until
you it pick up and listen to the busy signal you'll get after a short pause.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Incoming calls</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I made a little mistake in my previous
description. The phone doesn't ring only once but four or five times until
it says "missed call". Then it continues to ring four or five
times until it says "missed call" again, and so on. But when
trying it again and again, I found that sometimes there's a little bit
different behaviour. Then it rings only two times, then makes a pause of
some seconds, then it rings five times again, then it throws the "missed
calls" message and then it continues to ring and to ring and to ring
although the calling phone already gives you the mailbox of the called
number. In the end I can tell you that in 100% of all tries it never behaved
like it should, but I cannot tell you when it will make what.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Erasing "Missed call" messages</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks to your hint I found a way that
works. When having the list with all the "missed call" messages,
you call the menu and choose "clear". You'll get a screen titled
"Clear Call History". Press on "missed calls" and get
the question "Are you sure you want to delete: all missed items?".
Touch "Yes" and the phone says "Missed Calls" "No
items". After that, they're ALL really gone.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">But what if you only want to delete
some of them? That's the way I tried first and for 100% it doesn't work
although it should. Just get the list of "missed calls". Touch
one of them in order to see its details. THEN call the menu and choose
"delete". You'll get the question "Delete Call History Item"
"Are you sure you want to delete this item from the call history?".
Choose "yes" and wonder why the item is still there...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Net strength</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">After having typed in the PIN the GTA04
searches for net. Then for a short time it reports highly available net
with four or even five balks and a "G" aside. But then it goes
down to one or two balks, shows a "3" aside and remains there
at this very low level. Why? I always get this effect.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Handling the touch</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I like that the GTA04 has a resistive
touch. So it detects very precisely where you touch it when using a pen.
But it's not quite accurate to detect how long you touch it. Choose the
"Games" menu and try to play "Minesweeper". I bet you're
not able to flag at least three mines, because you'll explore before. OK,
I didn't spend 854 EUR in order to play "Minesweeper", but I
tell you that because there are some other menues where I get a long list
of items, unfortunately without a TOUCHABLE slider aside. Just call "Devtools"
for example and try to get through the list. Again and again it will happen
that you unintentionally choose an item. Then a terminal session opens
and something happens what you never wanted and where at least I don't
know what it is. Very very nasty!</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Other long menu without touchable slider
is the "Settings" menu. Again and again I choosed items I never
wanted to choose when trying to slide up or down. But at least in this
case no actions started at once, where only Gurus know what they do. In
this case at least I always had the chance to touch the "back"
item or choose to get some help in order to explore where I was.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">But there are wonderful fine working
examples where you can see what I want. Try "Settings" / "Application
Services" or "Applications" / "System Info". Please
place these thouchable sliders aside every list or long menu!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Display backlight</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It's interesting to find the possibility
to dim the backlight or to set up a time after that it switches off automatically
within the "Power Management" and not within the "Appearance"
item of the "Settings" menu, but thanks to your hint I finally
found it. But that only solves half of the problem. The other half remains
unsolved: What if you lock your phone by touching the "Lock"
item of the main screen and then put the phone into your pocket? At every
little touch the diplay and its backlight go on again and again until the
battery is empty. I would expect that one second after I locked the phone
the display will switch off despite how long I set up the time (in my case
I set it up to one MINUTE, otherwise I would not have been able to play
a game like "Fifteen Pieces"...). And then I would expect that
I need to press the power button for a short time in order to switch it
on again.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Currently after locking the phone display
backlight will switch off after 20 seconds despite how long I set up the
time. And please tell me: Why on earth does it switch on periodically every
4 minutes again and again for another 20 seconds each while lying somewhere
being locked and not being touched???</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Internet</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">OK, I found the correspondence you mentioned.
But sorry, I need a translation for bloody beginners. Already the first
advice is a mystery for me: "0/ connect to /dev/ttyHS3 (others
might work)". What does this mean? Do I really need to connect the
phone with a PC in order to get mobile internet? Not very practical because
intrinsically I bought the GTA04 in order to be able to let my PC
at home when I want to surf for example in a bus......</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please give me a chance to find out
if "Arora" really is a browser because I never heared this name
before. And within the conversation it has been said that you're able to
manage your mails with the GTA04. What program offers QtMoko for reading
and writing Mails? </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Installing my own Applications</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For example there's an ARM-version of
Firefox available. How do I install programs like that under QtMoko? I
extra bought a fast and big SD-card in order to be able to make such experiments
without failing due to low or slow memory...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The last question</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">What does it mean when the power button
shines green instead of red?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best regards,</font>
