DocScrutinizerdang04:51
* DocScrutinizer just wonders how long til that ghost from the machine will visit us next time04:52
DocScrutinizerSpeedEvil: maybe qgil will send some ;-D04:54
SpeedEvilIdly wondering04:54
SpeedEvilPondering n900 warranty repair - probably get n8 - swap for n900 in better condition via ebay04:55
DocScrutinizer:-S04:55
SpeedEvilI do have spare - but don't want to be down to only one04:56
SpeedEvilI/d04:56
DocScrutinizeryep, but used N900 feels like used car, or used underwear04:57
SpeedEvilbe fixing it myself if it wasn't for the fact that 2g is sometimes dodgy04:57
SpeedEvilindeed04:57
DocScrutinizergo for warranty - insist on N900, in 72pt bold RED04:58
DocScrutinizer""or any replacement device that meets or surpasses all specs as of http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/N900/""05:02
DocScrutinizers/all/*ALL*/05:02
infobotDocScrutinizer meant: ""or any replacement device that meets or surpasses *ALL* specs as of http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/N900/""05:02
TronicSpeedEvil: There's a good chance of getting E7 but you won't get N900 anymore.05:03
DocScrutinizer[citation needed]05:04
TronicSome things (e.g. malfunctional HP connector) actually get repaired, so you may get your old device back, repaired.05:04
DocScrutinizerthe last report of a user insisting in N900 replacement and finally getting it, is no 4 weeks old05:05
TronicDocScrutinizer: I know several people who have gotten E7s, plus the aftermarket is full of these in retail packages.05:06
DocScrutinizerNokia probably just hands out N9 or E7 to all those that are happy with that, to save the few spare N900 for those who insist05:06
DocScrutinizerN805:06
DocScrutinizergrrr05:06
TronicI personally got N8 and by insisting could get another N900 instead (apparently shipped from testing) but that was six months ago.05:07
TronicOthers haven't been so lucky with insisting...05:08
DocScrutinizerdepends on how good you are on insisting, I guess05:08
TronicMight depend on the country etc. as well.05:09
DocScrutinizeryep05:09
TronicTechnically they need to refund the N900 if they cannot provide a replacement (in EU, at least, I think).05:10
TronicWhich is also quite nice, if you paid 600+ € for the N900.05:10
TronicHowever, I haven't heard of anyone getting that refund.05:10
DocScrutinizerlegally I think they are even liable for damage done by them not providing a suitable replacement05:10
TronicI'm pretty sure they aren't but of course this might vary between countries.05:11
DocScrutinizere.g I'm an archaeologist using this platform with a custom software written for the institute, what does it help when Nokia refunds the N900?05:12
TronicIt will also be interesting to see whether they start replacing N900 with N9 once that become available. I highly doubt that, though.05:12
TronicN950 would be the best replacement but that is and won't be available for obvious reasons.05:13
Tronic*is not05:13
DocScrutinizerthey might do, as they get less complaints about that, than with N805:13
TronicI guess that E7 is a response to the complaints. Physically it is much closer to N900 than N9...05:14
DocScrutinizerindeed05:14
TronicNowadays E7 doesn't even cost more than N8 does.05:15
Tronic(it used to be insanely expensive a while back)05:15
* DocScrutinizer wonders how hard it could get to port $RANDOM_N900_OS to E705:25
TronicAFAIK E7 has platform security preventing different OS.05:27
TronicI guess that porting to N950/N9 should be quite possible but the lack of physical keyboard (on N9) is going to be a dealbreaker for many.05:28
DocScrutinizeryup05:32
DocScrutinizergood point though about TC security, I guess that's on E7 similar to hat we got on N9(50)05:33
DocScrutinizerhad/got?05:33
DocScrutinizeraah what05:33
DocScrutinizeractually the situation on N900 been no different, just nobody noticed that xloader had to be signed05:34
DocScrutinizerand n900 xloader didn't care even about NOLO signature, I.E. chain of trust started and ended with xloader05:35
DocScrutinizerN950 xloader only loads signed NOLO, and N950 NOLO recently can actually load unsigned kernels but shows nasty warning05:37
DocScrutinizerE7 xloader probably also insists on a 2nd stage that's properly signed05:38
DocScrutinizerand second stage is no NOLO there, so it might get tough to make any anti vendor port of an OS boot05:38
*** leinir_ has quit IRC05:40
DocScrutinizermight be actually interesting to try a coldflash of a N9(*) OS to an E7, as then AIUI the rom BL will load the xloader from flasher directly to OMAP RAM05:41
DocScrutinizerand probably not care about signature further than shutting down the TPM05:41

mikelimaHi all. I am developing a local transport application for harmattan and...14:05
mikelimaI have problems using qsettings.14:05
mikelimaWell, actually I have problem saving settings... It looks like destructors are not invoked when closing the aplication?14:06
mikelimaOr else I am doing something really stupid...14:06
rZZZrSpeedEvil: where did u get 300eur ?  350 has been confirmed14:09
SpeedEvilrZZZr: Vague memories14:09
SpeedEvilrZZZr: 350 sounds astonishingly low14:09
rZZZrSpeedEvil: wondering what is the ebay price now ?14:11
SpeedEvilIt's not going to stabilise until they actually get released14:12
SpeedEvilthe only person selling it at the moment is selling prerelease - in the anticipation of getting stck14:12
mikelimarZZZr are you talking about the N9?14:17
leinirmikelima: are you using QSettings as a pointer type? because then you're probably doing it wrong... :)14:18
mikelimahi leinir uh...14:19
leinirhttp://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qsettings.html#restoring-the-state-of-a-gui-application shows it fairly well...14:19
mikelimaI do not think so, but...14:20
mikelimathanks for the pointer, looking at it now..14:20
leinirIn other words, you should be creating a new QSettings instance every time you do something with the settings, don't keep the QSettings instance around anywhere (that is, don't store it as a member variable or something like that)14:20
DocScrutinizer~moo14:21
* infobot mooooooooo! I am cow, hear me moo, I weigh twice as much as you. I am cow, eating grass, methane gas comes out my ass14:22
mikelimayes, well, that's it then.14:22
mikelimathanks leinir14:22
leinirYou're welcome! :)14:22
leinirAlso, check my app ;) http://store.ovi.com/content/20652014:22
leiniri think i mentioned it last we chatted... at the QtCS? :)14:23
leinirthat is, i think i mentioned that i was thinking about the concept of it... i ended up finally pulling myself together and building it :)14:23
mikelimaNice, Ill' check it out!14:24
mikelimaYou are farther ahead than me on Harmattan programming...14:24
mikelimaI have not yet even looked at the publishing phase..14:24
*** inean has left #harmattan14:26
MohammadAGsent my N950 back :/14:30
mikelimaleinir: very nice. I did not know there were so many ways to prepare tea, by the way!14:30
mikelimaUhm I have to go and cook up some curry.14:31
SpeedEvilMohammadAG: Good luck14:34
DocScrutinizerMohammadAG: so maybe we'll see you a bit more around #maemo now :-D14:35
leinirmikelima: Thanks! :) The info thing kind of popped up when i realised that i should try and poke about with NFC... and people would be more keen to share stuff when they have more than just a time setting ;)14:36
MohammadAGSpeedEvil, thanks14:37
leinirhaven't started on the sharing yet, but... yeah :)14:37
MohammadAGDocScrutinizer, the OT #harmattan channel? sure :p14:37
MohammadAGKinda like the N900's hw keyboard more tbh14:38
MohammadAGit.s easier to reach and press keys on a 3 row keyboard14:38
*** andre__ has joined #harmattan14:39
*** andre__ has joined #harmattan14:40
DocScrutinizerwow the first time I hear sb preferring 3row over 4row14:40
MohammadAGI also prefer the space position14:41
MohammadAGit.s more natural and ergonomic on the right14:41
DocScrutinizernot that the N950 kb was *better* than the N900 just for the 4th row - it has other problems that render it awkward14:42
DocScrutinizerI'd really like to hear aout GeneralAntilles' typing speed on N95014:44
DocScrutinizeron N900 he typed as fast as others spoke, during that conference14:45
MohammadAGI get 80 wpm on the N90014:46
DocScrutinizerpretty much depending on the words and how many chars they have ;-) Here in Germany the metrics strokes/min is more commonly used, and probably more precise14:48
DocScrutinizerI think a good secretary will get up to 60014:51
DocScrutinizernot on N900 though14:51
DocScrutinizer:-)14:51
MohammadAGwhat's strokes/min?14:52
Tronickeypresses per minute.14:56
*** seif has quit IRC14:56
TronicRoughly equivalent to characters per minute.14:56
Sputincluding the backspace key or not?14:57
MohammadAGlol14:58
* Sput types very fast, but also has too many typos to be really efficient14:58
*** achipa has quit IRC15:19
DocScrutinizerbackspace doesn't count, so don't the keystrokes that made you use backspace15:20
*** seif has joined #harmattan15:20
DocScrutinizerhttp://speedtest.schnell-schreiben.de/ is rather "fair"15:20
Sputmh, 430 cpm, 76 correct, 6 wrong15:23
Sputnot warmed up though, and apparently you can't use backspace at all with that test15:24
DocScrutinizerI could15:26
DocScrutinizerwhich bombed me down to 320, all correct15:27
DocScrutinizerwith 3 typos corrected15:27
Sputhmm, true, apparently my space bar was just too soon :)15:41
Sputsecond try, 77 wpm, 1 wrong word, 420 cpm15:41
Sputenglish though, because German is a bit awkward with my US Intl layout :)15:42
DocScrutinizeryeah, german umlauts kill my typing speed completely, though I even got them on this particular kbd15:51
DocScrutinizerthe only 3 keys that are completely like new ;-P15:51
DocScrutinizerwhile I just notice the "O" is starting to fade15:52
DocScrutinizerthe "H" as well15:54

rZZZri am there17:32

mikelimaWell, I have got an N950 so I am fine for now.17:34
rZZZrn9 retail in oct 6 i leave on 317:34
rZZZri am writing u from a n950 too17:34
mikelimaA friend of mine is getting crazy about the N9...17:34
mikelimaShe did not look very interested when I tried to wow her with my N950... But apparently some page on Nokia.it got her interested.17:35
rZZZrthe nokia shop clercks were impressed by n95017:36
mikelimaBut I would think the difficulty in getting an repairs etc would kill an import like that for her.17:36
mikelimarZZZr: I have tried both... the N9 is nice as well, and probably it would be easier to sell... being smaller and lightier.17:38
mikelimaAnd the OLED screen makes it useful as a watch too.17:39
mikelimaBut I still prefer the n950 :)17:39
faenilI don't like physical qwerties so I'd rather have n9 :D17:40
rZZZrwell i lll stay w n950 for years17:40
rZZZrfaenil: azerty or bepe ?17:40
mikelimarZZZr: an N9 may last longer... uit has no moving parts, soi it is harder to break!17:40
rZZZrbepo17:40
faenilqwerty17:41
mikelimaBut it would be a pain to use the Konsole.17:41
faenilswype + portrait vkb is so much faster than physical keyboard...17:42
mikelimafaenil: the virtual keyboard is not bad... in fact I tend to use it unless I am going to type for a while...17:45
faenilvkb + swype...17:46
faenilonly vkb is not enough17:46
faenilI keep making mistakes...17:46
mikelimafaenil: is swype that input method that is available on Symbian phones?17:50
faenilwell you can download it from the store...on android and bada it's preinstalled17:51
mikelimathe one where you move your finger on the keyboard to join the letters?17:51
faenilyes17:51
faenilonce you get used to it...it's definitely faster...17:51
faenilin fact, sms world record is made with swype :D17:52
mikelimaI did not really got the hang of it...17:52
mikelimaDid not know it was available on N9(50)17:52
faenilit's not, in our fws...17:53
faenilbut it's already available in internal fw from a lot of time17:53
mikelimaoh, ok.17:53
mikelimaWell, it will probably come, sooner or later.17:54
faenilhope so...17:54

MohammadAGI used Settings -> Reset -> Clear device18:50
MohammadAGafter 5 minutes it restarted, wanted to check if all my data is gone and it showed the same icon in Settings -> Reset18:50
MohammadAGI just turned it off and put it in the package at the post office18:50

alteregoQML?20:56

mjawas thinking of mobility yes20:57
alteregoWell, Multimedia API, very eaasy to play a sound track :)20:57
alteregoEven has looping20:57
mjabut it looks like I can't use the resource system for including the file20:58
alteregoWhy not?20:58
mjait's a symbian bug I reckon20:58
alterego:(20:59
