QtMoko v49

[Adrien Dorsaz]

Hello!

I've just received my gta04 tomorrow, installed Qtmoko v49 and even had
a call ! Thanks GoldenDelicious and Qtmoko !

During the call, I heard well my correspondant, but he had a not really
good back sound from my microphone (he said that it was like if the
network connection will be shortly interrupted).

I've tried to modify microphone and playback volume with the NeoControl
tool during the call, it worked a bit better after, but not as good as
my correspondant wanted.

I'll try later (maybe tomorrow) with qtmoko v48, but I already
appreciate to be able to have a conversation with others and with
linux :)

This morning, after I've installed qtmoko v49, I've tried to install
qtmoko v48 and after shr on my sdcard, but none worked. It seems like if
I'm only now able to run qtmoko v49 (which I had installed again after).
Maybe the issue comes from me (miss-reading instructions or so), but it
seems strange.

Regards,
Adrien Dorsaz
