rm_workGeneralAntilles: for me, text messages are 50/50. and i've found I can at least answer calls if i'm expecting them (or hang up if i somehow managed to receive or send a call) by using bluetooth controls from a headset or my car. :P01:45

javispedroaha, managed to issue a reset to metawatch from linux03:24
GeneralAntillesSweet03:25
javispedro"mspdebug" > 0.17 works quite well03:25
javispedro* >=03:25
javispedrofinally sending graphics to it...03:34
javispedrothe framerate is weird, because if you send too much stuff, the watch crashes03:34
javispedroby experimentation I've found around 25ms per each two lines updated avoids crashes03:35
GeneralAntillesBleh03:35
javispedrotherefore, 40 fps if all you update is two lines per frame, which is not bad...03:36
javispedrobut that is not realistic...03:36

sivangxarcass: you hate iPhone? :)10:33

sivang(bad CR day, so damn HOT in here)10:33
*** rcg has joined #harmattan10:36
ajalkaneI've used iPhone for 30 seconds.10:41
ajalkaneI was, like, OMG ! Smooth!10:41
*** berndhs has left #harmattan10:41
*** Arkenoi has quit IRC10:42
ajalkaneI hope the N9 whenever it comes can come close to that in smoothness.10:42
TronicIt doesn't.10:42
TroniciPhone remains the only device capable of solid 60 FPS.10:42
Stskeepsn9 does 60fps very well, too, though10:42
sivangajalkane: already there in alpha/beta on the N95010:42
ajalkanesivang: with that I disagree.10:43
sivangTronic: question is, on what resolution and bandwidth? :)10:43
TronicStskeeps: Store and other apps suffer of severe slowdowns, unlike their iPhone counterparts.10:43
sivangTronic: specific apps not related to the core platform.10:43
Tronicsivang: Might be related to core platform, even down to Linux.10:43
sivangTronic: and being fixed constantly, I had troubles with some OVI apps on N8/E7 and they got all fixed and are quick and snappy now10:44
sivangTronic: store?10:44
TronicI suspect that it might be very difficult if not impossible to make Linux run smoothly 100 % of the time.10:44
TronicIt simply isn't designed to do that.10:44
xarcassmen, that smoothness of the iphone doesn't come cheap, believe me10:44
Tronic(even on desktop)10:44
sivangTronic: what's in linux that Darwin's kernel does not to slow down?10:44
TronicLinux has always suffered of long latency spikes on PC.10:45
ajalkanexarcass: I do believe. In that I'd never get an iPhone as long as N9 is an alternate (or any Android device for that matter :))10:45
sivangI was once young in Maemo, and I constantly asked - "how come it is so smooth", people taught me to ask what resolutio is it pushing, what's the bandwidth, what happens in the background (quite limited in iphone)10:45
TronicOnly in the last few years have people seriously attempted to fix these issues (latencytop, getting rid of the big kernel lock, etc) but much work remains to be done.10:46
sivangTronic: so kernel lock is the problem? is it the same with Android?10:47
sivangfor me, store or not, N950 is smooth as an iPhone but does better stuff and allows my much better multi tasking.10:47
Tronicsivang: Android also suffers of JVM garbage collection, on top of the kernel level issues.10:47
xarcassajalkane: i'd never buy iphone, because it would look like gynecologist buying a vagina, just for home use :)10:47
sivangah right java..10:47
sivangjava...:)10:47
djszapixarcass: ha ha .. :D10:48
sivangxarcass: wow10:48
ajalkanexarcass: poetic :)10:48
sivangxarcass: that's deep10:48
sivanglet's just say, that the paradigm where someone "knows" what's best for you is rapidaly decaying.10:48
sivangthe N9 UX is based on numerous data mining of user's needs and usage habits, and as a such, not requiring a button nor making it different to use either in right or left hand,10:49
*** faenil has joined #harmattan10:49
sivangis already much surpassing apple in their faschistic design methodology :)10:49

sivangreally, the N9 is amazing. piece of art.10:51
hiemanshusivang: you got one?10:52
ajalkaneoh sure it is, and I intend to get one when I have enough dough10:52
faenilI just want the fw updaaaaate10:52
faenilXD10:52
djszapiit does not have too long future from what I can say though..10:52
ajalkanewho cares about future. The world ends in 2012.10:52
djszapiand we could not unfortunately finish quite a few bugs because of the manpower lack. I regret that.10:52
faenildjszapi what do u mean? bug in the fw?10:53
ajalkanejust open source all of it and community fixes the rest :-P10:53
sivanghiemanshu: I wish, I have an N950 but I met someone from Nokia that had it for testing, and I played with it heavily.10:53
sivangajalkane: same here.10:53
hiemanshuah nice10:53
djszapifaenil: yeah, a lot.10:54
sivangajalkane: 2012, LOL10:54
faenildamnit xD10:54
*** jreznik has joined #harmattan10:55
sivangI might be on drugs, but I think we have not seen the least of Linux within Nokia (my personal view alone) and harmattan will be the base for it.10:55
ajalkanesivang: That'd require Rich Green storming back and throwing Elop out10:56
djszapifaenil: I will try to rent out double beds room, and if I can manage it you can sleep there :) I will see it next week whether I get the reservation i nadvance or I can do it =)10:56
jrezniksivang: what's the new of the drug? :) I want one dose too!10:56
sivangjreznik: lol10:56
faenildjszapi: what do you mean you'll try to rent out? are you trying some magic trick? XD10:56
sivangjreznik: I guess you call it "belief" :)10:57
faenildjszapi: I have found some nice workarounds for the flights xD10:57
faenilatm10:58
faeniloptions are10:58
sivangajalkane: How can we be sure this is not going to happen? sure the company is going through uneasy times, and I think it should be allowed to explore options, the WP7 has already been rumored to be delayed, while harmattan needs more bug fix work while the core platform and meat of product is there.10:58
djszapifaenil: workaround for the flights ? :) I meant to say that since my company will prolly sponsor the room, I do not care about the prices :)10:58
faenil45€ by plane, but I land on 23rd, and I have to stay the night awake at Stansted London10:58
djszapithat is managable :)10:58
faenildjszapi: well, that's great!! :D10:58
faenilyes10:58
sivangdjszapi, faenil : are you guys talking about dev days?10:58
faenilOR10:58
faenilsivang: yes10:59
djszapisivang yup :)10:59
faenilOR10:59
faenilby train: 75€, and I arrive on 24th morning, 6am, directly in Munich10:59
sivangah, I wish I was in EU, it could then be so easy...10:59
faenilplane is 45, but I have to pay for the night of 23rd, train is 75€ but I arrive on 24th10:59
grifaenil: 75 € from MUC or memmingen?11:00
grior what?11:00
djszapifaenil: I would sleep at the airport.11:00
faenil75€ Pisa-Munich11:00
grioh ok :)11:00
griif it would have been some taxi fee, I had offered to drive you cheaper :P11:01
faenildjszapi: not a bad idea actually, the problem is I'm a tough guy when it comes to sleeping...I can't sleep in those situations xD11:01
faenilgri: we' trying to pay as low as possible, TAXI doesn't exist in my mind xD11:01
ajalkanesivang: antyhing is possible, but as Elops been cutting Meego/Harmattan team down with axe, it'11:02
*** leinir has joined #harmattan11:02
ajalkanes hard to restart the development11:02
djszapifaenil: or B plan, to get to know some nice woman there :)11:02
faenilehehe already engaged xD11:02
faenilbut that a nice idea ;)11:02
faenilwas*11:02
*** Qantourisc has quit IRC11:02
djszapisee how big hazzle to have a gf ? :p11:02
faenilhahahaha11:03
hiemanshudjszapi: is that why you are 'Forever Alone'11:03
* hiemanshu runs11:03
* xarcass thinks that for several nights for free woman shouldn't even be very nice11:05
djszapihiemanshu: yeah, that is why I would like :)11:05
*** Qantourisc has joined #harmattan11:05
faenilxD11:05
hiemanshudjszapi: you mean s/why/what/11:05
gridjszapi: Now I know why the peregrine guy failed with the contextproperty setting for the observed conversation. Each context property can have exactly one source - which is the messaging app and nothing different ...11:05
faenilbut he said that could be a list11:07
grithe concept seems to be: provider and subscriber. Provider can only be one application11:08
griso I'd kill the messaging app and register mine - sucks :/11:08
sivangajalkane: if I was working on harmattan, and I get cut down, and then the company changes management and asks me to come back to resume working, if I did not already enroll in a new open source related, world changing job, I think I would have no issue to go back.11:09
djszapigri: I thought there could be several providers, does not make sense to have such restriction11:09
sivangajalkane: because working on harmattan changes the world, supports open source as an side effect and brings sanity to being connected on the go. (not to mention prolonged battery life)11:10
gridjszapi: If so, what happens when two apps set one key?11:10
grilast wins?11:10
djszapito be honest, I am busy now, and it is not really my area, I just tried to  dig myself into this =)11:11
djszapito help you with ;)11:11
*** tbf has joined #harmattan11:11
ajalkanesivang: Maybe. But its hard to say how much the employees who've been in that situation have anymore trust in Nokia corp11:11
grithank you anyway :)11:11
*** spenap has quit IRC11:12
sivangajalkane: that is something else,true.11:13
*** lamikr has quit IRC11:16
gridjszapi: I think you're right. The ContextPropertyInfo holds a list of providers. And it makes sense to have only one observed conversation since there can only be one active application running in fullscreen .. so I think I just have to create a second xml file declaring the property and register it11:18
*** spenap has joined #harmattan11:19
djszapigri: sure, if you cannot manage it, I can help later tonight, but I need to do my dictionary application for now :p11:20

alteregoAnyone happen to know how to bring a window that is in the background to the foreground?13:23
alteregoI've tried "showMaximized" but it doesn't work :/13:23
sandst1alterego: justasec, i've got that somewhere in my codes..13:25
alteregosandst1: I fixed it with a hide() then a showMaximized(), but if there's a "proper" way :)13:26
sandst1alterego: do you want to bring a window on top of an app or an app on top on the whole system..?13:27
alteregoApp ontop of the whole system.13:27
sandst1alterego: ok. I'm using activatewindow() and then a call to raise()13:28
alteregoAh, raise ..13:28
MohammadAGalterego, activateWindow()13:28
alteregoacitvateWindow seems to work slightly differently with plain QApplication (btw, I'm not using MApplication ;)#13:29
alteregoraise did the trick though :)13:29
MohammadAGheh13:29
alteregoThanks sandst113:29
MohammadAGwhy QApplication though?13:29
alteregoBetter than my hack :D13:29
alteregoMohammadAG: because this app isn't meant strictly for Harmattan :P13:29

rantomQuestion15:44
rantomI hear every now and then a "bong" sound (notification) from my N95015:44
Stskeepsit means you have to drink15:44
rantomWhat does that indicate?15:44
rantom:P15:44
dm8tbrit's the signal for 'there is no spoon!'15:45
rantomIs it a bug or feature?15:45
rantomBecause I have no idea what it should indicate15:45
SpeedEvilLow battery?15:45
rantomYeah, I thought about that too since it's happened a few times15:46
Hq`crash reporter?15:46
rantomBut the battery isn't in red15:46
Stskeepsrantom: message while messaging window is open?15:46
rantomAnd it "bonged" again now though it's charging15:46
rantomStskeeps: No15:46
*** eman has joined #harmattan15:47

MohammadAGrantom, bong before charging, entering power saver mode16:11
MohammadAGsince it's on charge, chances are it went over the percentage so it exited power saving mode16:11
MohammadAGoh, swiping the virtual kb down closes it, nice16:11
*** harbaum has quit IRC16:13
rantomMohammadAG: Ah, that would explain it16:13
rantomAnd all the other events also when it bonged16:13
MohammadAGalso, is it me or does the browser have a wave effect on the right when scrolling?16:13
rantomMohammadAG: Double-tapping in top of the screen in Terminal hides vkb also16:14
MohammadAGit's like some half scrolls faster than the other16:14
MohammadAGrantom, works when tapping once here16:14
rantomAh, my bad, once16:14
MohammadAGmg-terminal has a settings icon in the top right if you have it installed16:14
MohammadAGoh nice, gotta love Windows16:14
rantomBSOD?16:15
MohammadAGso I move 4GBs of media files into a folder on the windows partition from linux16:15
MohammadAGthen i boot up windows16:15
