Ken-YoungI am having trouble with the scratchbox-based SDK for Maemo 5.   I had to re-install it on my Ubuntu laptop.   The SDK will compile things etc, but when I test code using Xepher, the Hildon widgets don't quite work properly.   Specifically, the menus do not show any text the first time they are displayed, but they do show text on all subsequent times.   Also, mouse import events are missed, checkboxes are not updated, etc.   Has anyon01:20
Ken-Younge else seen that problem?01:20

Ken-YoungHi03:36
zltanis this channel about n900?03:39
SpeedEvilyes03:40
SpeedEviltechnically, other maemo devices too.03:40
zltanwell, my n900 is quite laggy, what do you recommend me to do in order to get it work smoothly?03:41
jogazltan does it get better after reboot?03:42
zltanjoga: perhaps, but I can notice an obvious difference03:42
zltancan't03:42
joga(I regularly kill hildon-home because after a while it starts lagging every time the screen turns on)03:43
*** thomasvs has quit IRC03:43
M4rtinKcheck top for runaway processes ?03:43
*** thomasvs has joined #maemo03:43
*** thomasvs has joined #maemo03:43
zltani've noticed a new package - fastern9, what do you think about it?03:43
jogaie. after picture is visible, it takes several seconds to do anything, and it also happens if the phone is ringing which is awkward because even though I pressed answer many seconds ago I still wait for it to notice and to stop the ringtone :)03:43
jogazltan fwiw, I've tweaked transition effects to a minimum, it helps a lot imo03:44
joga(it appears more snappy)03:44
jogaalso avoiding cluttering desktops with unneccessary widgets that update all the time03:44
jogaalso install status area cpu/mem applet, then you can always see if it's busy when tiny bars rise up03:45
zltanjoga: have you tried the fastern9?03:46
jogaI've gotten used to that so if it seems busy I'll just let it do its thing first or at least don't press many times in hopes of getting a response03:46
jogazltan no03:46
zltanit seems that it really makes an improvement03:47
jogaI do have swappolube03:47
joganot sure what fastern9 does03:48
*** beford has joined #maemo03:48

TamyrRRRRAnyone have experience with broken N900:s? When I press the power button my N900 seems to turn on (the led blinks white), but the screen doesn't turn on and the vibrator doesn't vibrate as it did before :(04:13
robbiethe1stIt's not dead?04:13
robbiethe1st*battery04:13
TamyrRRRRHowever, I hear clicks when clicking the screen just like I normally do, so the touchscreen input seems to work at least04:13
Ken-YoungTamyrRRRR, Have you tried removing the battery for a brief while, then trying a reboot?04:13
*** ZogG_laptop has quit IRC04:13
TamyrRRRRKen-Young: Yep04:13
robbiethe1stI'd bet the screen cable is broken04:14
Ken-YoungTamyrRRRR, If you call the n900's number, does it ring?04:14
robbiethe1stYou can get replacement cables and screens on Ebay04:15
TamyrRRRRKen-Young: haven't tried it, but I doubt it since I can't enter the SIM unlock code04:15
*** zltan has quit IRC04:16
TamyrRRRRrobbiethe1st: Something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-NEW-Nokia-N900-LCD-Screen-Display-Replacement-Spare-Part-ORIGINAL-NEW-/390395501140?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5ae5629a5404:16
*** beford has quit IRC04:16
Ken-YoungThe vibrator not working makes it sound like it's not just the screen.04:16
TamyrRRRRIndeed04:17
*** beford has joined #maemo04:17
TamyrRRRRI could also mention that the keyboard lights do turn on04:18
robbiethe1stThere's a lot tied to that screen cable04:18
*** dir has joined #maemo04:18
Ken-YoungI may be wrong then.04:18
robbiethe1stwithout it, the device won't boot properly. With a broken one, it will usually boot, but...04:18
TamyrRRRRrobbiethe1st: I haven't disassembled my N900 before, would it be hard to replace the LCD?04:21
robbiethe1stNo.04:22
robbiethe1stYou have to be careful and you need a small philips screwdriver(ph00), and a small torx driver04:22
robbiethe1stBut it's not hard to replace the LCD or the cable04:22
TamyrRRRRCould there be any chance that the cable has simply been dislodged? (This seems to happen after the phone dropped one meter on the floor)04:23
robbiethe1stcould be04:23
robbiethe1stCheck once it's open04:23
robbiethe1stThe hardest part is, when you pull the LCD out, you have to be careful about dust getting in, and dust on top of the new LCD04:24
TamyrRRRRI see. Although that would be merely a cosmetic problem not a functional problem?04:25
robbiethe1stCorrect04:25
robbiethe1stYou need to be very careful with the cable, though, for obvious reasons04:25
robbiethe1stThere's good photo-guides and youtube videos out there04:25
*** nox- has quit IRC04:28
TamyrRRRRThe N900 seems to be more fragile than other phones I've had :/04:28
*** dafox has quit IRC04:28
TamyrRRRRI've already had it replaced once (although they tried to foist some Symbian based device on me as a replacement...)04:28
robbiethe1stEh, it's got a couple of issues - USB port was a definite design flaw.04:28
robbiethe1stOther than that, I've seen only random failures04:28
*** beford has quit IRC04:29
robbiethe1stLike the LCD cable. Occasional failures, not everyone04:29
*** beford has joined #maemo04:29
TamyrRRRRMy first unit failed in such a way that the phone couldn't connect to the phone network04:29
robbiethe1stYeah, that's happened before04:29
robbiethe1stI've got a device(from Ebay) with a broken cellmodem04:30
TamyrRRRROh well, luckily I have a spare phone available to use at the moment04:32
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC04:33
TamyrRRRRrobbiethe1st: Any hints on what to search for if I only need the cable? (I've found some dealers that seem to have the LCD itself)04:35
robbiethe1stDunno04:36
robbiethe1st'cable'?04:36
TamyrRRRRHeh, I see that the service manual warns you to be careful about not damaging the USB connector... :)04:38
robbiethe1stWith the device open, you can always throw some solder between the USB connector and the nearby metal covers.04:39
*** LaoLang_cool has joined #maemo04:40
TamyrRRRRMight be a good idea04:40
TamyrRRRRrobbiethe1st: Thanks for the hints, I guess I'll try to open the phone tomorrow or so and see if the cable is dislodged before I begin to order replacement parts online04:43
robbiethe1stfair enough04:44
robbiethe1stmake sure you have the right tools04:44
TamyrRRRRI'll have to buy a small torx driver I guess04:45
robbiethe1styeah04:45
robbiethe1stIt's like a T3 or 404:45
TamyrRRRRAlthough as far as I can see I should be able to inspect one end of the top/bottom connector using just a small phillips driver04:46
TamyrRRRRThe service manual says not to reuse the screws by the way, is that something to be concerned about`04:47
TamyrRRRR?04:47
*** hardaker has quit IRC04:58
DocScrutinizer05TamyrRRRR: check chanlog for "FPC" yesterday05:00
*** uen| has joined #maemo05:00
TamyrRRRRDocScrutinizer05: Thanks, I'm looking into it05:01
DocScrutinizer05and you don't need to be too concerned about new screws, I hardly ever heard they broke for anybody. But if you have a chance to get new ones, I'd do05:02
DocScrutinizer05you got L1_2 servie manual?05:02
DocScrutinizer05service05:02
TamyrRRRRYep, I found Nokia_N900_RX-51_Service_Manual_Service_Level_1_2.pdf on some of the seedier parts of the net05:03
DocScrutinizer05yep05:03
*** uen has quit IRC05:04
*** uen| is now known as uen05:04
DocScrutinizer05you may want to connect N900 to TV, it might give some hints of what's going on05:05
TamyrRRRRAh, good idea05:05
DocScrutinizer05usually broken FPC finally causes AV-out to also fail05:06
DocScrutinizer05but I had same problem, and initially TV shown some semi-usable screen display still05:06
TamyrRRRROdd. (Since the AV-out is on the bottom part.)05:06
DocScrutinizer05later it collabsed to a green line in middle of TV screen05:07
DocScrutinizer05seems the sync for all framebuffers is entangled05:07
TamyrRRRRAh05:07
TamyrRRRRMakes sense i guess (although if they cared that much about sync you'd think they would have enabled VSync mode in the software... :))05:07
DocScrutinizer05I actually have no really good story why FPC has such big impact on the whole device. But I know it has05:08
DocScrutinizer05if you like to investigate by yourself: there's also the schematics available05:09
DocScrutinizer05you may want to check my exploded gallery too: maemo.cloud-7.de05:10
DocScrutinizer05and maybe docs in hidden there ;-)05:11
DocScrutinizer05TamyrRRRR: NB you won't need a new LCD, just the main flex board05:13
TamyrRRRRThanks :)05:13
TamyrRRRRI was thinking along those lines as well05:13
DocScrutinizer05link I posted yesterday is ~15 bucks05:13
DocScrutinizer05quite reasonably priced, taking into account it has camera, ALS, proxy sensor, LED and probably several parts I forgot05:14

TamyrRRRROh, the joys of unstable radeon drivers05:16
DocScrutinizer05though odds are your device suffered more severe breakage on mainboard when you drop it05:16
TamyrRRRRWell, it is worth a try at least05:16
DocScrutinizer05usually this results in balls' solder joints breaking, on the large BGA chips05:17
DocScrutinizer05sure05:17
DocScrutinizer05you already found a TV?05:17
TamyrRRRRNo, too late to mess with the TV today as I'll wake up the spouse :)05:18
DocScrutinizer05:-)05:18
DocScrutinizer05please keep me updated on your findings05:18
TamyrRRRRAlthough I'm afraid she may have heard a few choice words when I discovered what had happened to my poor N900... :/05:18
DocScrutinizer05ping me any time and just post here, I'm occasionally reading each post05:18
TamyrRRRRI'll try to do that05:19
DocScrutinizer05btw when FPC ('cable') breaks, that's most usually the connector end, a sandwich of B2B-connector, flex board, and a piggyback rigid board with jumper coper traces, all three soldered together. Obviously it's not the sturdiest design to have three frexible flat objects soldered togeter, the joints break when you slightly bend the whole contraption05:23

DocScrutinizer05(basically same as with large BGA chips and PCB board, only those are way more rigid than the flex board)05:26
*** radic has joined #maemo05:29
TamyrRRRRAnyway, thanks for the hints, I'll try to disassemble the phone tomorrow (or later this week depending on time constraints) to inspect the FPC05:29
DocScrutinizer05sure thing, drop by and let me know what you find, as well as any questions05:30
DocScrutinizer05also check your vibrator motor05:30
DocScrutinizer05It's actually a tad strange that this doen't kick anymore on early boot05:31
TamyrRRRRWhere is the vibrator motor located? Top or bottom part?05:31
DocScrutinizer05top next to powerbutton05:31
DocScrutinizer05err bottom05:31
DocScrutinizer05on top of bottom part ;-P05:32
TamyrRRRR:)05:32
TamyrRRRRBasically, it is not connected via FPC05:32
DocScrutinizer05the large silvery block05:32
DocScrutinizer05nope05:32
TamyrRRRRWhich I guess may point to a more significant problem :/05:32
DocScrutinizer05yep05:32
TamyrRRRROuch05:33
DocScrutinizer05or your true problem is vibrator motor came off and now shorting sth05:33
DocScrutinizer05you may shake the device thoroughly and listen/feel if anything's loose05:34
TamyrRRRRDoesn't sound like that (at least not when holding down SIM/SD-card holders)05:35
DocScrutinizer05aaah yeah, I just thought "no SIM, no PIN query"05:35
DocScrutinizer05if it's really SIM PIN and not your device lockcode05:36
TamyrRRRRRight, might make it easier to start the device05:36
DocScrutinizer05also check for screen without backlight, or maybe backlight on black screen05:37
TamyrRRRRI hear the Nokia jingle after a short while when booting device without SIM05:37
DocScrutinizer05good05:37
DocScrutinizer05well, kinda05:37
DocScrutinizer05could be anything now05:37
DocScrutinizer05from loose B2B-connector to broken BGA chip soldering05:38
TamyrRRRRYay05:38
TamyrRRRRHmm, the vibrator is connected to the same chip that handles the backlight driver it seems like...05:39
TamyrRRRRWhich is kind of worrying05:40
DocScrutinizer05all GAIA aka twl403005:40
DocScrutinizer05iirc05:40
TamyrRRRRYep, at least according to the schematics05:40

TamyrRRRRDocScrutinizer05: Hmm, when I press the middle of the keyboard I hear some weird mechanical noise that I haven't heard before05:46
DocScrutinizer05hmm05:47
DocScrutinizer05vibrator?05:47
TamyrRRRRNot the usual vibration sound (I hear the same sound even when no battery is connected to the device)05:48
TamyrRRRROh well, I'll have to open up the device I guess (or send it for warranty replacement, but I hesitate to do so because I've already done it once before :)05:49
DocScrutinizer05I meant maybe it's the loose vibrator now doing some noise on deformation of device by pressing on it05:49

Lava_CroftElop was hired by Nokia with a specific reason16:41
Lava_CroftThe reason might not specifically have been to transition completely to Windows, but it sure as hell was to be expected16:41
Sicelowhat is the Finnish mess you're talking about Lava_Croft?16:41
Edheldilvi_:  personally I think they were already courting MS16:41
Lava_CroftSicelo: Nokia is a Finnish company that was ran by Finns16:42
Siceloand the mess.....16:42
Lava_CroftThe mess that is Symbian, the mess that is Maemo16:42
Lava_Croftwhy did it take to 2011 to get an answer to the iphone16:42
Siceloheh16:42
Lava_Crofta half-finished answer16:42
Lava_Croftif the Finnish Nokia leadership actually pushed Maemo they might have had a proper iphone contender quite a bit sooner16:43
keriosymbian was the answer to the iphone before the iphone was even rumoured16:43
DocScrutinizer05totalizator: wait what? You just said h-e-n doesn't work? >:-(16:43
Lava_Croftbut they went down the road of having several teams combat each other16:43
Lava_Croftbasically the Sony route16:43
Lava_CroftSymbian vs Maemo vs whatever16:43
Lava_CroftPeople have trouble looking back further than Elop's dumb burning platform memo16:43
Edheldilwell, the leadership was chaotic before Elop, that's sure16:44
Siceloyour statemets sound more like a management problem than a platform/technology/innovation problem16:44
Lava_Croftit certainly isnt chaotic now16:44
Lava_CroftSicelo: exactly16:44
totalizatorDocScrutinizer05: ok, it works but it's a bit troublesome (comparing to N8xx)16:44
Lava_Croftbut a managed problem becomes a platform/tech/innovation problem16:44

Lava_Croftits not the fine folks who brought us Maemo that make the decisions16:45
DocScrutinizer05totalizator: yeah, it's as good as we could make it16:45
Edheldilso what? I dislike Elop because he buried what was a nice platform.16:45
DocScrutinizer05given the totally fsckdup hw re USB in N90016:45

Lava_Croftwith its awful attempt at looking like Meego16:48
kerioyes it is16:48
tadzikthe lack of keyboard? Oh please16:48
SiceloLava_Croft: so you say Elop has solved the Finnish mess?16:48
Lava_Croftthats a hardware problem16:48
keriothe lack of a physical keyboard changes *a lot* in the interaction modes16:48
vi_N9 is like a castrated N900.16:48
EdheldilLava_Croft:  Elop is a good catchy name for someone's gripe with Nokia,  bear with that16:48
Lava_CroftSicelo: I have no idea16:49
totalizatorDocScrutinizer05: and I can really appreciate it as on N900 I can have things like working  mouse cursor working without any problems and many other useful stuff16:49
Lava_CroftTime will tell16:49
Lava_Crofti know for sure the N9 and Harmattan wouldnt have saved Nokia16:49
Edheldileven if the problem is more complex and not entirely his fault16:49

kerioDocScrutinizer05: or maybe the weird experiment made by the mad scientist16:51
vi_Well I am a die hard functionality lover.16:51
EdheldilLava_Croft:  the problem is that the (un)informed geeks are not sure whether his route is benefiting Nokia foremost, or a certain Redmond company16:51

Lava_Croftthey dont16:52
SiceloLava_Croft: i have nothing against the man, but, here in Africa, Nokia died to Samsung as soon as Symbian was pronounced dead16:52
Lava_Croftthey buy iphones and android phones16:52
keriook, let me rephrase that16:52
keriothe masses buy cheap phones16:52
Lava_CroftSicelo: yes, Elop made a mistake there:)16:52
Lava_Croftand not a small one either16:52

*** mvp_ has joined #maemo16:53
Lava_Croftbut you cannot disagree that at least now Nokia has a clear goal and is actually working hard towards it16:53
Lava_Crofti think the problem with most geeks is the MS hate16:53
Lava_Croftmore than anything else16:53
Lava_Croftits MS and therefore its the spawn of the devil16:53
Lava_Croftcommon nerd logic16:53
Edheldilit is, btw.16:53
Lava_Croftnot really16:53
Lava_CroftMS is no better or worse than Nokia, Google, Apple or whatever16:54
Lava_Croftjust another company making money16:54
ZogG_laptopit depends16:54
DocScrutinizer05Nokia made still shitloads of money with low-end featurephones, though they moaned about vanishing margins. But to declare Sybian dead was cutting the tree they live on16:54
ZogG_laptopsome do inovations, some sue others16:54
Edheldilwell ... I could agree with apple, but nokia used to be better, in my eyes16:54
Lava_Croftand MS doesnt innovate?16:54
ZogG_laptopit's like we compete and i want to be better, while you just changing judges opinion behind my back16:55
ZogG_laptopLava_Croft, where?16:55

Lava_Croftlike with the Xbox for example16:56

DocScrutinizer05I don't usually drink any alcohol, maybe one beer occasionally. Cocktails not really a usual beverage here17:00
DocScrutinizer05anyway my Friday quote above was related to virtual Friday known on IRC as OT day and usually filled with wild discussions and flamewars about what OS is better or why MS sucks so much17:01
ZogG_laptopDocScrutinizer05, may i correct you17:03
EdheldilLava_Croft:  I have read a quote once, which ran st. like "We now think that MS becomes better not because they do, but because the others have became worse"17:03
ZogG_laptopit actually is not people saying why MS sucks so much, people do know that. It's just few people trying to explain why it doesn't :P17:03
Lava_CroftEdheldil: And?17:05

DocScrutinizer05so you should go tickle your pony, then install backup menu, do backup, install cssu-t, do anohter BM-backup, then follow instructions about cssu-testing-thumb if that's what you *really* wanna do19:01
kerioyeah, i'd install cssu-testing and make sure it works before installing cssu-thumb19:01

DocScrutinizer05you mean the time until lockscreen dims?21:19
