I verified that I have flash 11, but the video on the openpandora.org site does not play. Oddly, the verification page has a video with scrolling text and a rolling ball on my desktop, but only the rolling ball shows up on the Pandora. Youtube is oscillating between playing a few seconds &...

I'd like to see the bluetooth system not require a restart every time the Pandora is suspended to RAM. I'd also like to see GPSD added to the Pandora repo.

Then why use the QWERTY keymap in the first place? Because QWERTY typists expect the keys to be in that arrangement. As a Dvorak typest, I'd like to have the same option. Just like only a fringe minority of people are left handed?

I finally decided to look into doing a Dvorak keymap for the Pandora. It is impossible to do. The 'S' key needs to take the place of the "Enter" key the 'Z' key needs to be on the Function key So far, there might be a way to do those, but the 'W' and 'V' keys both need to be where the...

Micro-switches would be a bad idea. They have hysteresis meaning that the opening of the switch is in a different position than the close. You would end up pressing the button longer than you intended every time. Dome switches don't have this problem. The other issue with these kinds of...

When I bought my USB OTG adaptor, I went through the entire set of listings on Amazon (us), and only saw one device that showed the mini-A connector in the picture (did not mention the type of connector in the text). I bought that, but what I got had a mini-B connector on it. I was annoyed, but...

If there is one thing Pandora taught me it is this: NEVER PREORDER. Pay 3 times & wait more than 2 years is not an experience I wish to repeat. I'll wait until they are shipping this time.

There is no telling how the A-female to A-female connector is wired. There is no application for this part, and I always wondered why it existed, and who would buy it. My suggestion is to just buy a mini-B to A female adapter (It would be better to get a mini-A to A female adapter, but it seems...

Yes and this is why you should not specify "USB 2.0" when you mean "USB High Speed". They don't mean the same thing, and you can get burned if you use the wrong one.

Some cheap 7 port USB hubs are implemented with two 4 port hub chips. If the Pandora USB port crashes when a hub with nothing plugged in is connected, you will need to have at least two devices plugged into that hub, one connected to each hub chip to avoid crashing the port.

The full sized port only works with high speed devices, it does not work with full speed devices (USB to serial, GPS etc.) or low speed devices (keyboards, mice, etc) unless a high speed hub is used. Do not ever use the term "USB 2.0" when you mean High Speed, the terms are not interchangeable...

I don't believe it is rfcomm that is the problem. rfcomm will not connect to a bluetooth GPS after the Pandora has been asleep with bluetooth enabled. Bluetooth must transition fro disabled to enabled after the computer is woken up for rfcomm to connect.

I don't have gpsd installed, it is not in the repository. I'm using "sudo rfcomm connect 0" to connect to the GPS. If the GPS mouse gets turned off, or moved too far (10 m) from the pandora, rfcomm exits, so it must be re-run to re-connect. If the GPS is not connected when navit is started...

There are other issues: Bluetooth on the Pandora is a nuisance to use. Having to do a sudo command to get it connected, having to disable and re-enable bluetooth after the Pandora has been in sleep mode to get it to work again. If the pandora is moved far enough away from the Bluetooth GPS...

The Atari 2600/800 track ball is missing from that poster.

Open a terminal window. Type in, but don't hit return on: "cd /mnt/utmp/AB\ Mouse" Use the menu to run system->AB Mouse then type return in the terminal window. This directory only exists for a short time after running AB Mouse, so you have to do the cd command in the short window of time...

A should be left mouse button. Y should be middle mouse button. X should be right mouse button. I find it disturbing that those who argue that the D-PAD is infinitely better than an analog joystick emulating a D-PAD would chose to emulate mouse buttons with an analog joystick. I have modify...

No, this is not "Marketing". The packaging is entirely correct to claim is is a USB 2.0 mouse. The version of USB supported tells you NOTHING about the speed it is operating. USB 2.0 supports "Low Speed", "Full Speed", and "High Speed". A device claiming to be USB 2.0 can be any of those speeds...

It probably would not have mattered. I read this, did the twice in a row dance and still ended up with no wifi, and having to do a full flash.

This worked. Thank you. Now I am confused. Those commands appear to be exactly the same as the ones that hung on every attempt when I tried to use them yesterday. They worked this time, I don't know why.
