I got my neo1973 gta01 some month ago now and want to share my expiriences with it. Because the gui at that point did not work at all and i was interested to develop an own gui anyway i deinstalled all gui stuff with
ipkg remove -recursive <all x11 libs>
(i don't remember which one and can't take a look because they are gone on my neo right now). Now i started to check all low-level functionality i thought i would need for my application with simple scripts to start them and python programs to test them (see the edits i made on the pages manually using [GSM|GPRS|GPS|BT] here in the wiki). With that basis i was able to do logrunning tests. here is the outcome:
| unit | software in use | expirience |
|---|---|---|
| GPS | gsmd | did not work reliable. clients can't determine the state. i found no documentation when to issue which call (i.e. if you connect but don't get called for pin, when do you call to register into a network). is not able to decode special sms (like initiating sms for mms). sample client libgsmd-tool coredumps all the way. does not use (the glib recommended way) of using dbus. |
| GPRS | pppd | works well if chatscript take over everythink (like pin entry). same problems for auto-detect as mentioned with pan apply. |
| GPS | gllin | for long running gllin some option must be changed (like named pipe and logfile output) but i never got a reliable fix for a ling time. gllin seems to have a memory leak or the like (after running for several hours cpu usage raised from about 2% to 20%). |
| PM | sys fs | everything here is not documented very well. battemp show -6 (which should be in celsius), chgcur says 17213 (which would be 17A current!) while battvol is decreasing. i often encounter a neo that switches off even if it's connected to usb because the charing does not start. |
| BT PAN | bluez-utils | using internet over pan works fine while i did not figure out how to auto-detect the best way into the inter for the neo. i would prefere a fallback-rule like use usb, pan, gprs. libc makes some trouble when changing the nameserver, running processes will use a old one. |
| FS | jffs2 | if the filesystem runs full you are doomed. jffs2 is not able to delete files after that. you have to flash your neo again. |
