testing Litephone, new phone interface

[Dan Staley]

Hi, I decided I wanted to try out litephone on the latest SHR-U and I
followed the steps above.  However whenever I run the gsm registering script
I run into problems.

The first time I run it, I get:
Enabling GSM for ever
/org/freesmartphone/Usage: SetResourcePolicy failed:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply
Turning antenna on
/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device: SetAntennaPower failed:
org.freesmartphone.Resource.NotEnabled
Registering
/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device: Register failed:
org.freesmartphone.Resource.NotEnabled


And then any time after that, I get:
Enabling GSM for ever
/org/freesmartphone/Usage: SetResourcePolicy failed:
org.freesmartphone.Usage.ResourceUnknown
Turning antenna on
/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device: SetAntennaPower failed:
org.freesmartphone.Resource.NotEnabled
Registering
/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device: Register failed:
org.freesmartphone.Resource.NotEnabled


I assumed that perhaps I just needed to restart frameworkd...but that didnt
help.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Am I just missing something?

Thanks,
-Dan Staley
