<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">now I used the weekend to play with
QtMoko v40. First of all: Thanks for the quick update!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Starting the phone</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Now it seems that I always get the possibility
to enter my PIN already at first boot.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Power management</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Would it be possible to add units to
the values in NeoControl? Or even to choose reasonable units? For example:
It's easy to guess that "Voltage:" is being displayed in µV,
but V or at least mV would of course be much more common. And what are
the units of "Charge:", "Energy:" and "Temperature:"?
I tried to guess that "Temperature:" is in 1/10 °C, but then
the battery always should be about 26-31°C warm, what it isn't.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Outgoing calls</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Exactly the same behaviour as it has
been in v39: 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.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Incoming calls</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The problem with the wrong "missed
call" messages really seems to be fixed. But why do I get the ring
tone at maximum 8 times and then only the display continues to show me
that someone tries to ring me up?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Erasing "Missed call" messages</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The same behaviour as v39. But OK, it
wasn't listed in the list of differences, either. Please remember: You
try to delete individual "missed call" messages instead of all
at once. The menu gives you the option "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">SMS</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Seems to work fine.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Handling the touch</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I don't think that I'll get familiar
with that behaviour. For me it's just nasty. Please give me at least a
hint where I can play with what values and I'll try to squeeze out a more
comfortable touch reaction.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Internet</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I hoped it will work now in an easy
way. So I did the following:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- "Settings" / "Internet"
/ "New" / "GPRS"</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- "Account": Entering APN
and an arbitrary username (with my ordinary smartphone this will work).
Also to be sure I selected "Startup mode": "Always online".</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">After returning I wonder why I see "GPRS
Offline" because I extra selected "Always online". But at
least I found that when selecting the item, I'll get an option "Start"
within the menu. Result: I'll see "GPRS On Demand". But I insist
I extra choosed "Always online", before!!</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Besides: A "3" now appeared
in the item for the net strength where before neither a "G" nor
a "3" has been. But when I try "Arora web browser"
(thanks for the clear name, now!), I still get no connections.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Net strength</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">After the first boot of the new QtMoko
v40 I neither had a "G" nor a "3" within the icon.
After setting up the APN as being described before, I got the same behaviour
as already has been pointed out for v39. Perhaps this information will
help you to better understand the values you receive from the modem. I
claim there's some mode switching and the meaning of the values differs
between the these three modes "", "G" and "3".</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">LED</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm still interested in learning what
a green shining power button means. You'll get this state for a while during
the beginning of the boot sequence.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">GPS</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Even with an external antenna I don't
get anything else than a "+" and a "-" each in a circle
and a timer "Wait for fix". After several tries, each waiting
for some minutes, I gave up. The only thing that I could find out is that
when I touch on the screen, I'll additionally get a third circle with a
point in it and a little cross in the middle of the screen. But by far
there's no help available that could tell me what's going on...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Installing own applications</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">@Radek: I've seen your screenshots and
found it very interesting that obviously in former times you had a ZX Spectrum.
I had a TI-99/4A and on my Ubuntu notebook I also run an appropriate emulator
under wine. Of course it would be nice to have it under QtMoko. And the
Firefox, and so on... But for the bloody beginners: Are there some explanations
how to work with QX in general?</font>
<br>
