    THIEVES!

    So I go to leave for class today (Uni of Wisconsin), and notice something horrific... MY PANDORA IS MISSING! Yeah, that's right, some F.ING AHOLE broke into my van and STOLE MY PANDORA! They also stole about $400 worth of computer equipment, $1000 worth of micro-biology equipment, and my...

    Feature requests for HF6

    YES! I'd imagine once DSP is available, people will start using it. It's like upgrading to a much bigger hard drive, you think "I'll never fill all that space" but a couple months later, you're burning DVD's again to make some room. YES! YES! Though I realize this one will need to wait on...

    First In The American Midwest...

    Ha you aren't even the first in Milwaukee with a Pandora, I got you beat by about 2 months. Although I'm currently staying in nearby Waukesha until I'm ready to transfer to a bigger University. Anyway if you want to hang out for some gaming someday shoot me a PM and we can schedule something...

    After all that time... I'm done

    I am also in college and always pressed for time, furthermore, when I upgraded my 1st batch to Premium that killed any chance of buying any other gadget I might have wanted. That said, stock Pandora turned out quite nice for me. I can't really listen to music during class, so the battery...

    Overnight charging?

    Hmm, curious. On my unit, I leave it charging overnight and take it to school with me during the day. Every time I wake up, every single time, the battery is at a full 100%. Never 99 or 98 or anything but 100%. The LED charging light is always on, and the bottom of the unit is mildly warm...

    Time for an Updated Review.

    Thank you for the review! I have my Pandora already but I love reading other people's impressions! Also, I agree with most of your observations. Especially about the DPad quality and how well the nubs work as a mouse! As for your wifi issue, I had a similar issue trying to set up for WEP...

    Wifi not working when booting from SD

    I don't know about "in few words"... I cannot seem to make a post that doesn't end up extremely huge. And that's AFTER a few edits to cut down the length. I tend to go on... Also, DISCLAIMER: I have broken my system about FIFTY goddamn times by screwing around with experimental crap JUST...

    "in fact most agree that a choice of sites is good"

    EDIT: I took the time to finish reading the entire thread, and as everything I said in this post was only rehashing the same shit everyone else is saying, I've removed the original huge wall of text, and added an idea of my own. In short, I agree that the front-end websites become irrelevant...

    Cross-Compiling Is Bollocks! Toolchains Are Bollocks! Use Yo

    i apologize if this was mentioned, as i didnt read this entire thread, but there is no libsdl-mixer-dev in opkg... i believe what you want is libsdl-mixer-1.2-dev but thats a quick google search and could be wrong too.

    Wifi not working when booting from SD

    SOLVED! Thanks to aTc in IRC! Turns out, the kernel it was loading was not compatible with the modules for wifi and touchscreen. Getting uImage-omap3-pandora.bin from http://openpandora.org/firmware/images/ and plopping it into /boot/uImage solved it! Sweet!

    Android, Linux, and ARM (also WinCE - hiss!)

    Into ARM technology? If you're as geeky as me, this is the biggest hard on I've gotten in YEARS. Fullscreen for extra OMFG: http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/video/Portal.tsp?entryid=0_dc27urjm&lang=en&DCMP=OMAP5&HQS=Other+PR+wbu_omap5_pr_v Like that? All that gesture recognition and such...

    Wifi not working when booting from SD

    Well I've been thinking, and the only thing I can think of that would be different booting from SD rather then NAND in relation to wifi, is that either something is failing before the SD makes itself root because the root changes, or perhaps after the SD's root becomes the OS root something...

    Wifi not working when booting from SD

    [sOLVED! - Wish I could edit title to reflect this but ah well] I'm trying to get a dev environment set up but I'm too low on NAND space to do it from there. So while hanging out in IRC, stuckie linked me to his gcc-preinstalled Angstrom image, which I plopped on an SD card and booted into...

    After waiting 9 months, I've decided to cave and go for a premium Pandora

    As a fellow first-batcher-upgraded-to-premium, I concur. Get the UPS Shipping. I did and it arrived holy crap quickly via teleportation or some other magical means. As quick as it arrived, however, my impatience and excitement caused the short delay to feel like years. Once you've received...

    Premium Pandora's are annoying and slowing down the PreOrders

    Thank you for the compliment! However, as a full time student aiming for a PhD in Geek, Arby's employee, avid video gamer, Linux/Open Source hobbyist, and the very strange fact that I have a hot girlfriend that demands large quantities of my remaining free time, I don't even have time to sleep...

    iPhone 4 vs Pandora

    I had an iPhone 3G, which isn't as good as the iPhone4, so I must filter my opinion through the "pretend my iPhone is more powerful and has a compass" lens, but here's my take. Before I got my Pandora: If I want to make a phone call, I pull out my iPhone and love the interface as I speed...

    Premium Pandora's are annoying and slowing down the PreOrders

    Preface: I'm a 1st batch pre-orderer that upgraded to Premium. I might have had mine by now anyway (no idea where I was in the queue, never asked), but I love this project and when I saw the opportunity to both help the team out AND get mine somewhat quicker, I was like HELL M'F'IN YEAH...

    Pandora software the pandora lacks

    Hi! Thank you for porting Brasero! I was going to post this in the thread you have linked, except upon further testing I have come to the conclusion that the problem lies not with brasero (so far) but with installing and using the drive itself. The statement I made earlier that xfce can...

    Pandora software the pandora lacks

    Thank you for your suggestion, I didn't realize I missed anything. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work. It runs, but it detects no cdrom at all, not for reading or burning or anything. dmesg says it was detected and set up fine, i can access cds and dvds within xfce just fine, but brasero...
