As some of you may remember I posted my observations about a month ago from
the first 2 weeks of using the FreeRunner with SHR-U as my main / only
phone.

Following this I have made updates (opkg update and upgrade) on 2009-8-12
and again on 2009-8-29.

Until 2009-8-12 this happened on a daily basis on average. Since then it has
only happened every other day. Also I spend less time being worried about
the phone status.

This hasn't happened since 2009-8-12, so I consider this done.

Works fine since 2009-8-29. Consider this done.

This one has oddly been reversed since 2009-8-12. Now the ring tone stops
correctly, but the vibrator "rings" too long (on average 1-2 "ring" after I
accept the call) and the calling party can hear it :-)

I have learned to live with this.


The overall conclusion is that if the next few days of usage doesn't show a
deterioration on issue 1, then I would certainly recommend that someone (not
me :-) do make a testing image (at least a testing snapshot image like the
previous ones)

So once again, thanks for all your work!
