Good to hear you tried SHR<br>

<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">I couldn't resist to try out SHR,
now.
I used the version whose link has been posted in this list some
days ago.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Starting the phone</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">After booting the first time -
which
took very very long time - SHR asked lots of questions where it
wanted
to have text being entered. But where on earth can I get the
keyboard displayed
for that? I couldn't find one, so I skipped these questions. The
text "next"
appeared at the bottom of the screen, in most cases messed up
with other
screen content, but at least it worked.</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Booting for the second time was
very
fast, but I didn't get the home screen with all the icons. There
where
only some few icons at the top of the screen. I tried them out
and somehow
I got the icons back in the end. But not as expected with the
house-icon
which I expected to be "home", but with another that seems to
be able to split the screen for some unknown reason. After
touching this
icon again and again I got the right screen. And besides I found
the keyboard
icon, but I couldn't remember if this has already been there
when all the
questions arised.</font>
<br>
</blockquote>
The keyboard most probably hasn't been there. I am experiencing the
same thing on my freerunner when installing SHR.<br>
<blockquote type="cite"><font face="sans-serif">And what was
astonishing: Althoug I
removed the battery before the phone presented the right date
and time!
With QtMoko after having the battery removed for some time I
always have
to enter time and date again.</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">So my astonished questions are:
How
did SHR managed to get the RTC supplied without battery? Any why
doen't
QtMoko manage this?</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Calls</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Neither could I make calls nor
could
I receive calls. That was exactly the behaviour I expected,
because up
to this time SHR never had asked me for my PIN. But where on
earth shall
I enter it??</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Terminal session</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Please explain me how I manage
that
this stubborn keyboard does what I want? I even wasn't able to
enter simplest
commands like "ls" or "pwd" because the keyboard did
everything, but not giving me some simple letters!</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">GPS</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">I only see a blank screen with
some
zeroes at the bottom and a 2000km measuring stick above. Even
after minutes
with an external antenna this doesn't change. Is there an easy
way to find
out if the GPS module of my GTA04 is functioning at all?
Remember: QtMoko
also didn't give me any GPS coordinates.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Internet</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Of course without PIN no
connection.
But nice to find one more browser from which I never heared
before: "eve".
Is it a way to become famous to create one's own browser? Is
Firefox so
much terrible?</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Mumpty Physics</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Very funny, indeed. But what is
this?</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Power management</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">No reaction by the battery icon
when
connecting USB to a power supplying device. "Settings" / "Power"
first says "Loading 4 modules" like many SHR settings want to
load several modules each time you call them, but then I only
get "Charge:
N/A%", "Power info: N/A" and "Status: N/A". How
do I manage to load the battery with SHR?</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Settings</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Extremely much stuff for a
beginner.
I resign and ruefully return to QtMoko. But up to the next
version of QtMoko
coming, I'll dream that this upcoming version also will be able
to supply
the RTC while the battery has been removed like SHR does...</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Ethernet Gadget</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">I admit it would have been too
easy
if the IP would have been the same like QtMoko has:
192.168.0.202! But
what is the right IP? Without a working keyboard on a phone's
terminal
session no chance to enter "ifconfig" in order to inspect it
by myself, and I didn't want to open the case in order to
connect a serial
cable. At least not yet. For the moment I still avoid to become
too much
freaky, because my goal is to be able to present this phone also
to friends
that do not much understand from computing.</font>
<br>
</blockquote>
As far as I know SHR has now been using 192.168.7.x for a while now
which is in my opinion much better than 192.168.0.x. The phones IP
is 192.168.7.2 and you can set your computers ip to e.g. 192.168.7.1<br>

<br>
<font face="sans-serif">Shutting down the phone</font>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">I press the power button, select
"Shutdown",
even approve with "Yes" and get the goodbye message: "Please
wait: booting...". Then the phone switches off. Oh yes, I really
want
to return to QtMoko, happily!!</font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif">And I cannot spare you what I
nastily
thought at this moment: Yes, it was Micro$oft where I had to
click "Start"
in order to shutdown an OS. Same thing, just reversed. That was
before
I switched to Ubuntu...</font>
