Ainulindale has asked me to collect a laundry list of open issues that need fixing before we release, as I have been browing the SHR trac during the last 2 days. Here is a list of issues that I have found important and which probably should be discussed or even better fixed.
Missing here is a list of screen blanking issues, receiving call when suspended issues, and occassional, no sound or ringing never stops issues. However these seem very tricky to reproduce.
Now, discuss!!! Ahh, by the way, I'm "spaetz" on trac and IRC. I am based in Zurich, CH
(although I am a German) and like to bother OSS projects :-) . Hello SHR!
- usbnet seems broken for many in latest unstable. First reboot fixes for some (apparently), others have to "ifdown usb0;ifup usb" additionally.
- eth0 (wifi) often comes up without wrieless extensions. SOmetimes fixed by suspend/resume. Sometimes shr-settings shows wifi as turned "off"
- rotate screen (using xrandr) leads to white screen of noise
- enlightenment using too much CPU (7% on mine) (no ticket)
- Dialer, Contacts,Phonelog crash when there is no SIM card inserted or GSM has been turned off. If this is not fixed it should definitely be mentioned in some kind of release note. Some sample tickets:
- It seems that GSM has problems currently when the SIM PIN id disabled (#244,#232,#223,#232) (also a contender for a release note mention)
- Handling of multipart SMS messages seems to be an issue:
- #121 One long SMS received as a set of smaller ones
- #272 not able to send long sms
- A long list of reports on minor phonegui-efl-new usability issues and improvement suggestions. How urgent should they be? A random sample of issues:
- #252 Show no. of new messages, missed calls directly
- no text wrapping or scrollbars when words longer than lines
- #222 Why can't you send empty SMS's?
- #161 Remaining SMS chars inaccurate when using backspace
- My personal favorite is : #248 Can't dial #793# (or other USSD messages), as you can press "Dial" all day long and you just won't get any feedback :-) .

Thanks for the update!
I have one very annoying problem though:
SHR-testing worked fine on Windows, but the SHR-unstable from 29 jan does not. When connected to a windows PC it makes windows restart immediately.
Removing the rndis.inf driver fixes this, but then there is no way to ssh into the FR.
(tested on windows xp pro and windows xp home)

the keyboard also seems to be very slow (there is a thread about this on the mailinglist)
i could use the rtl8187 (usb wifi) in the modules.tgz ;)
