You're right. Unfortunetely I don't know which phones should use it. If
anyone could provide the information I'd appreciate it. I'll change the
default setting though.

The patch is very welcome :-) If not a patch, at least a suggested way to
do it.

Would you mind to show the patch? Maybe it's worth of applying?

That's strange... It means that initialize failed. Could you apply the
