Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

O'k... week ago I thought about remote control with LCD touchscreen and tunable for different purposies (I've got video projector and need control PC sitting far from it) - and now I've got it!

but in my idea I have to be able extend all features by myself (for example add web-browsing on top level)

what about gaming - different games better have different controls with different images

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

Yesterday I was trying out BlueMaemo. It started trying to connect to my Mac's BlueTooth not able to connect ofcourse because the USB stick was not inserted. I could not use the red button to close the application. Instead of using the Mac I wanted to test BlueMaemo with Ubuntu 9.04 (in alpha, currently) with new BlueZ.

I was able to close BlueMaemo into the main screen. Unfortunately, when going to 'open connection' my whole tablet froze, with BlueMaemo full screen and Carman unable to be killed. From the full screen the red button of BlueMaemo would not work. So what I did was home screen (under the reload button on left of N810) and then tried to kill BlueMaemo. Wouldn't work. I then went to 'home'. Now I saw Carman was also stuck. The NIT was on low-power, but hanging on charger. I did a power-off, then a power-on, and the system booted up again with both applications hanging. I just could not kill them, not even with -9. I unplugged the power, put off the NIT for a while. Then powered it on. Now it was all closed.

What is possible is that my virtual memory on my 8 GB external microSD card (N810) was/is broken.

BTW, I don't like I cannot unmaximize the application. I think you should at least give the user feedback this feature does not work. Just my opinion... and no offense :)

I'll retry later with Ubuntu 9.04 (as of today's snapshot) and see if I can reproduce the Mac issue I posted about earlier.

The fullscreen button works in all screens, exception to entry screen, that screen is new, and I forget to add the functionality, and you can also choose in the settings menu, if you want the app in fullscreen or not.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

Ah, yes, I see.

I'm not able to get to the 'Configuration' before having paired though. Perhaps I'd like to disable auto connect? What happened was that it tries to connect. It freezes then, giving no feedback. So I think....oO( no, I don't want to connect to 'this computer' I want to connect to another one. ). I press cross. Nothing happens until the program responds again, and then poof. Gone. It is so illogic it happened to me more than once :D

Instead, I should be able to know the application is still working, and I should be able to cancel the request. At the very least a sustained response like the one I described above is not desired by the user.

Been trying to get 'Multimedia' to work. Killer feature IMO! For which media player is it optimized? I've been trying QuickTime and VLC. With QuickTime I don't know the shortcuts, and VLC uses Option key (Alt key). But I'm not able to specify that in BlueMaemo configuration.

Also keep in mind non-US keyboard layouts.

Ubuntu 9.04 (GNOME) with new BlueZ works same as before with hidd command.

MacOSX on the same computer as the one running Ubuntu works with on-board BlueTooth as well as USB stick. Both got recognized & worked right away. No OS crashes.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

I never experienced program freezes or lack of response, you are the first user reporting those issues, can you elaborate on that ?
If the auto-connect fail, you will be returned to the main screen, where you can select other devices to connect or open a new connect.
Totem, but you can configure it for others, key combinations are planed for the next bluemaemo versions.

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

hope key sequences too

problem - unfortunately while trying use finger to control mouse it gives multiple taps

only stylo can control mouse preciously enough

didn't you think about "tap-and-hold" to make "right mouse click"?

and how finally make "click-and-drag"?....

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

Try to use your nail.
For click and drag you can use the "zoom -" key, as mouse hold button.

Please fill a feature request for that ones: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?at...65&func=browse

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

What happens is this: BlueMaemo is started. BlueMaemo tries to connect to my Mac for some reason. Maybe because it has auto connect enabled or it was the last succesfull device. I have no idea. It happens when I start BlueMaemo. Now, want to actually connect to my Linux laptop. It says 'Connecting to Mac'. In the meanwhile I cannot do anything. The application doesn't respond. The red 'X' at the right bottom doesn't do anything.

Now, imagine I do:
A) Click on the red X while the program is frozen. Nothing happens, until the program unfreezes. Then BlueMaemo quits.
B) Wait, doing nothing, while it says "Trying to Connect to Mac". Something I never wanted to do in the first place. Once thats done, I go to 'Open Connection', fire up the hidd command on Linux, and voila -- I'm connected.

Ideally this should go much quicker. The need of hidd command on GNOME is not a problem due to your program, but what I described above is. IMO this is not logical for a user either. I've tackled what happens; but its odd behaviour IMO.

OK, thanks, that is neat.

Maybe create profiles for different video/audio applications. Personally, I don't always use the very same OS or computer. Let alone video/audio playback applications. I can give you the entries for some common applications, if you want. Caveat: might get messy with 925950255 apps...

Re: Introducing BlueMaemo
 

you can add Widcomm BlueTooth stack to Working list

works fine with old 4.x BlueTooth software on XP, I think will work with 5.x and 6.x on Vista
