<div dir="ltr">Hey all,<br><br>I've been running OM2008.8 with testing updates for a few weeks now, and I'm finding it generally pretty good - however, it isn't terrifically stable - I've had incoming calls where they couldn't hear me, or where the 'answer call' page doesn't show up until after the caller hangs up. In my day-to-day life I'm usually near a land-line, so these haven't been serious problems.<br>
<br>In a few weeks I'm going on a week long business trip, and my cell is going to be my main source of connectivity, so I'm going to need something a lot more stable. <br><br>I'd love to hear what the community recommends for a distro providing stable connectivity - phone and sms is the highest priority - although GPS capability would be a bonus.<br>
<br>The two leading candidates are either FSO or Qtopia. <br><br>Any opinions on which of these options would work best?<br><br>My backup position is to put my SIM back in my old Motorola and use it as a phone, and just use my FR as a hand-held computer...<br>
<br>Thanks, <br><br>Warren<br><br>I'm considering either installing FSO or Qtopia <br></div>
<br></blockquote></div>Hey Warren, it seems you are speaking for me word-for-word! Along with business trip and Motorola.<br><br>I don't know if they already do it, but IMHO whenever a call comes in, the processes associated with the call should be given the highest priority and non-essential processes should be reniced temporarily to the background.<br>
<br>I would love to show off my FR on my business trip to the UK tomorrow, but I can't take the risk: I have to be available all the time. So I have the map for London installed, and will use only the GPS.<br><br>By the way, this page <a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions</a> says Qtopia does not have GPS.<br>
