whatever4ever2Do you know that arrow next to SMS that shows they're being sent until the time stamp appears? Well, for me it usually stays there. And if I restart my phone all of mine are gone, and the ones they send are re-received.00:26

topobotwhy maemo is more hackeable than android?06:21
Hurriantopobot, because it's running GNU/Linux06:28
Hurrianwith glibc06:28
Hurrianand X1106:28
topobotandroid is not linux?06:28
Hurrianit is linux06:29
Hurrianbut chrooting ubuntu on any android device is painful.06:29
Hurriantheoretically, they can both run the same stuff via chroot06:29
topobotwhats the diference between andoid and maemo?06:29
Hurrianthe stack.06:29
topobotcan you install ubunto on n900?06:29
topobotubuntu06:29
Hurrianandroid is linux kernel + android OS06:29
Hurrianyeah, you can boot ubuntu on the n900.06:30
topobotdoes it run smooth ubunto on n900?06:30
topobotubuntu?06:30
topobotdoes it run fine?06:30
Hurrianonce you give it some time to load, yeah06:30
Hurrianunity 2d runs fine06:30
topobotdoes it run better than maemo?06:30
Hurriannope06:30
Hurrianmaemo is the best running OS on the N900.06:30
Hurrianbecause of all the closed bits.06:31
topobotumm ok06:31
topobotis it possible to make faster a n900 phone?06:31
topobotmaybe changing the hardware?06:31
Hurrianoverclocking.06:31
Hurrianswap on microsd.06:31
topobotwhats that?06:31
Hurrianmaking the N900's CPU run faster than what it's rated to do.06:31
Hurrianit uses more power and shortens the N900's lifespan, but it makes everything a lot more bearable06:32
topobotso its faster but it consume more energy?06:32
Hurrianyou have to understand the N900 is a 2009-era device06:32
Hurrianyes.06:32
topobotdo you think in the future n900 are gonna be expensive?06:33
topobotlike collectionable hardware?06:33
HurrianOnly within Maemo.org, and only if the USB port doesn't break.06:33
*** madalu has quit IRC06:33
topobotwhy if maemo is so good they stopped developing it?06:34
HurrianNokia's upper management is retarded.06:34
HurrianAlso, iirc it was folded into MeeGo.06:34
topobotand which do you think is more profitable, to develop an app for android, ios or maemo?06:36
HurrianiOS, by far. Getting >200 downloads on a good 0.99$ app is easy.06:38
Hurrian(if your app is good)06:38
HurrianOn Maemo, unless you're developing a game, most stuff needed is already there.06:38
HurrianIf it's not, it simply gets ported from desktop Linux06:38
topobotwhat do you mean with06:38
topobot"stuff needed"?06:39
Hurriantools/utilities/whatever06:39
topobotand android?06:39
Hurrianthe market's pretty full of ad supported ones+pro version (paid), you may want to try that06:40
topobotad supported ones? how does it works that system?06:40
Hurrianyou put ads in the free version of your app, you get paid when people use your app06:41
topobotoh06:41
topobotis that profitable?06:41
Hurrianfor apps with lots of downloads, then yeah, it is06:41
topobotlook, i made an program for maemo06:41
topobotwith python, and i been usign this app since some years, i want to develop it on ios for selling it06:42
*** madalu has joined #maemo06:42
topoboti think maybe can be useful for other06:42
topobots06:42
topobotbut i dont know to program objectvie c06:42
Hurrianiirc Apple lets other programming languages fly if your app is good enough.06:42
topobottheres a programmer that can pass the python program into objective c and then i can sell it on itunes06:43
topobotbut he is asking me for 1400 dollars06:43
Hurrianthey loosen the rules if your app is not some spam thing.06:43
Hurrianif you want to not use Objective-C, you can publish it on the Cydia app store, where there are no rules06:43
topobotso i need to sel 1414 apps at 0.99$ in order to not loose money06:43
topobotsell06:44
Hurrian1400 dollars is big money, do you think you can sell that many?06:45
wmaroneheh06:45
Hurrianif you think you can at least break even, go for it, but if not, don't.06:45
topoboti dont know , i never tried this before06:45
wmaroneheh, you need something like RubyMotion, but for Python06:46
Hurrianwmarone, you just need your app popular enough. iirc, Angry Birds on iOS uses (used?) Lua06:46
wmaroneit uses Lua internally06:46
wmaronethe interpreter and all of its scripts are contained within the .app06:46
wmaroneApple doesn't care about those06:46
wmaroneit's not a matter of "popular" enough, it's a matter of how it impacts the system06:47
topobotangry birds used lua06:47
topobotwow06:47
wmaronelots of games use Lua06:47
topobotbut not pure lua right?06:47
Hurrianyeah.06:47
wmaronedefine "pure lua"06:47
topoboti mean its an objective c app that internally interpret lua code06:47
wmaroneyes06:48
wmaronethe lua interpreter is compiled into the binary06:48
topobotwhats the reason of using lua?06:48
wmaroneHalf-life 2 does that, World of Warcraft does that...06:48
topobotwhy not use pure objective c06:48
wmaronesome things are easier in high level scripting languages06:49
Hurrianit eases cross-platform development.06:49
wmaronethat too06:49
Hurrianwasnt angry birds for maemo also partially Lua?06:49
topobotangry birds is cross plattform?06:49
wmaroneI would imagine they're all partially Lua06:49
topobotdoes it run on android as well?06:49
wmaroneyes06:49
Hurriantopobot, it's free, ad-supported on Android06:49
wmaronein fact I'd imagine that, at least on Apple, it's mostly C + Lua and very little objective-c06:50
topobotdoes andoid runs objective c  apps?06:50
topobot*android06:50
Hurriantopobot, no, it runs Dalvik apps06:50
wmaroneerr06:50
wmaroneAndroid's NDK allows for C applications06:50
topobotdalvik?06:50
Hurrianwmarone, almost forgot about that06:50
wmaronetopobot: Dalvik is the java-like VM Google created for Android06:51
Hurrianbut the share of armv6/armv7 android phones is probably about 50/50, so i wouldn't do that06:51
topobotohhh06:51
wmaroneHurrian: sure you would, if Google can't discern between them and deliver the right package then they're wholly incompetent06:51
topobotso for developing on android is it better to use java?06:51
wmaronetopobot: well, Dalvik really. They share syntax and not much else06:52
wmaronethough Oracle and Google are battling out over this stuff in court right now >.>06:52
topobotand which are the limits you have on ios for developing apps?06:53
topoboti heard there are  a lot of limitations right?06:53
wmaroneyou'd have to go dig through Apple's docs to determine their limitations06:53
wmaroneI have no hand in iOS06:53
topobotand which are the most innovative apps for mobile phones out there?07:00

Siceloi haven't tried. either way, with h-e-n, it might be possible10:46
topobotwhats h-e-n?10:47
Siceloalso, what 'exactly' do you want to do?10:47
Sicelo~h-e-n10:47
infobothostmode is, like, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65232, or see ~hostmode-charging10:47
topoboti want  to connect a external camera10:47
Siceloconnect it to do what?10:47
topobotinstead of using the camera of the n90010:48
topoboti want to connect an external camera10:48
*** ekze has joined #maemo10:48
topobotfor example a spy micro camera10:48
topobotso i can attach it to my neck10:49
*** ekze-nyan has quit IRC10:49
fluxwell, you would probably need a special camera application to make use of such camera10:49
topobotand use it as a spy camera to record all the anticapitalist protest10:49
*** calvaris has joined #maemo10:50
Siceloflux: maybe mplayer and gstreamer would do10:50
fluxsure, any app that could make use of /dev/video210:51
topobotbut how do i connect the camera to the n900?10:51
RST38hMoo, gentlemen10:51
RST38hHow is suffering tonight?10:51
topobotvia usb?10:51
Siceloof course topobot. and h-e-n. you got an URL a few lines before10:52
topobotok10:52
topoboth-e-n allows to conect to any usb external device?10:54
Sicelo~h-e-n10:54
infoboti heard hostmode is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65232, or see ~hostmode-charging10:54
Siceloread man. answer is yes10:55
Sicelothe only issue you might face is lack of driver/module ... but that's a bridge you'll have to cross after reaching10:55
topobotbut do i need to develop another app besides h-e-n?10:55
Siceloif you're a dev, so much better. but maemo already has mplayer and gstreamer apps .. these should be enough10:56
Sicelobut then, only you know your exact requirements10:56

Hurriani could've sworn that was a standard feature of WMP for years14:19
chem|stHurrian: and for years I do not use WMP... if on windows, if forced to... I use vlc as anywhere else...14:20
Hurrianwhelp, more reason to include mpchc as part of my "drivers" flashdrive.14:20
chem|stI'd guess I started it accidentially some times with fresh installs but never used it since win2k again14:21
jonwilI think whats happening is that Microsoft has decided that if you want media playback for these codecs, you have to pay extra (which then goes to the patent holders for these formats)14:22
jonwili.e. it allows them to sell the base version of Windows 8 cheaper (due to not needing to pay the licenses for that version)14:23
DocScrutinizerre update, don't use insane idiotic numbers like 2147483646, when 1440000 will do14:23
Hurrianif windows 8 (not pro) costs the same or more than home premium, this whole thing is idiotic.14:23
jonwilWindows 8 has nothing in it that makes me want to upgrade at all14:24
TermanaConsidering I'm all Linux, Windows 8 would be a downgrade for me14:25
Termanaor any Windows14:26

TermanaWindows don't come in my house man. Doors are fine though14:26
TermanaI should get a doormat or something that says "Leave your Windows devices at the door"14:27
HurrianTermana, I use it for the games.14:27
VeggenI had to cave in and buy something with Windows this winter. Didn't survive first boot, though ;P14:27
HurrianI have a PS3, but that's more of a locked system, also, 250+++ MB updates every other week14:27

DocScrutinizeresp since your update schedule will get updated itself whenever you run an update, so assuming you start HAM once every 4 weeks to check for a new app or for a CSSU update or whatever, setting the period to 30 days is as good as 4000 years, in both cases it never will do an automatic update14:57

lardmanJust browsing the web and looking at a hand-on review of the Galaxy S3, I see an interesting feature called Smart Stay which uses the camera to detect whether you're looking at the screen and therefore whether to power it off16:32
SpeedEvilI find it depressing to think that that idea - which I think I commented on IRC about 4 years ago - is probably patented16:33
lardmanWell as long as you don't want to sell it, and we are Linux folks16:33
Psi_heh16:33
Hurrianwtf? camera being on and imaging power is probably higher than running LED screen at 100% brightness16:33
lardmanHurrian: I was wondering about that16:34
SpeedEvilHurrian: Not really16:34
SpeedEvilHurrian: - done properly.16:34
Psi_wouldnt have to be on all the time, just one frame every sec16:34
lardmanthough low framerate would do16:34
SpeedEvilYou can do it several ways.16:34
SpeedEvilA frame a second.16:34
SpeedEvilOr - perhaps cheaper - a tiny ROI tracking face16:34

DocScrutinizerI've read N95016:44

SpeedEvilI would however try dissasembling, and flushing with contact cleaner.16:45
DocScrutinizeropen up, clean, check switch, replace if due16:45

* SpeedEvil wonders about corneal temperatures16:47
SpeedEvilIndeed16:47
lardmanyou sure? My daughter's eyes shine like cats' eyes when she looks towards our baby monitor and it's dark16:47
Hurrianthat's probably light getting reflected16:47
SpeedEvilthat's because it's illuminated16:47
lardmanNIR16:47
SpeedEvilThe same happens with normal light16:47
SpeedEvilIf you can learn to defocus your eyes so that the flash of a camera and the lens merge into one, your eyes glow white16:48
DocScrutinizerred-eye effect16:48
SpeedEvilAlso - with IR, it's due to lack of aversion, and poor focusing, so you get better 'cats-eye' effect16:48
DocScrutinizerit's basically due to flash of cheap compact cams so close to lens16:49
lardmanwhatever the method, with NIR illumination the eyes are by far the brightest objects on the screen16:49
SpeedEvilInteresting16:50
DocScrutinizeryes, because your retina reflects IR to avoid overheating16:50
lardmanI'll take a photo16:50
SpeedEvilThere is little IR light of that sort that matters.16:50
*** LaoLang_cool has quit IRC16:50
SpeedEvilIt's not to prevent overheating, it's because the IR focal point differs, so instead of the eye being a good reteroreflector - as it is when focussed on visible - it's a bad one - and you get a relatively wide cone.16:51
SpeedEvilThe solar spectrum has the majority of energy in visible - not NIR16:51
DocScrutinizerdoesn't matter16:51
SpeedEvilAnd 'thermal' IR - ~10um - is absorbed by the eye16:51

DocScrutinizerwhich of course never really happens in real life of a homo erectus in savanna16:54

DocScrutinizerterminal emulator == xterm17:40

DocScrutinizeraka osso-terminal whatever17:41
k273yes17:41
DocScrutinizerthere are alternatives, but mostly lightweight17:41
k273no wonder you said I'd still be doing 2hrs on fapman17:41
* k273 likes lightweight17:41
DocScrutinizerI never said this17:41
k273not a hardcore user, anyway17:41
DocScrutinizerI said you're doing 2h+ *after* fapman messed up your system17:42

DocScrutinizerlolcat: if my memory fails, then sorry17:43
DocScrutinizerI'd have to check chanlogs as of 1 year+ ago17:43
DocScrutinizerlolcat: yes, basically everybody can edit infobot factoids17:44
DocScrutinizeryou're not supposed to do so on a silly random basis though17:44
k273oh DocScrutinizer: my system had never been messed up by fapman. If anything, it only made it feel good.17:44

k273I thought it might be in the year 300017:45
k273XD17:45
DocScrutinizerk273: though odds are fapman already *did* mess up your system, and you just didn't notice yet17:46
k273such as?17:46
DocScrutinizersuch as e.g. SIP failing17:47
k273SIP?17:47
DocScrutinizer*sigh* see what I mean?17:47
k273I see that alright17:47
k273XD17:47
k273if you be so kind to elaborate?17:48
DocScrutinizer~sip17:48
infobotwell, sip is Session Initiation Protocol, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/sip/ (see RFC 3261) It's HIP to be SIP!17:48
DocScrutinizeraka VoIP17:48
k273oh17:48
DocScrutinizer*NOT* skype17:48
k273yes17:48
k273I never VoIP nor Skype17:48
DocScrutinizerthen odds are you never notice fapman breaking it17:48

freemangordonPali, I am trying to build u-boot, have the error Unmet build dependencies: kernel-bootimg19:11
freemangordoninstallign kernel-power-booting didn't help19:11
Paliah, yes19:11
freemangordon:)19:11
Palifreemangordon, dsc package of kernel-bootimg is now on: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pali/19:12
freemangordonPali, well, I could use the old "make" method, no worries.19:13
Paliit contains only zImage of stock nokia kernel19:13
freemangordonAnyway, I need KP50 :)19:13
freemangordonwill do it by hand19:13
Paliif you want to create combined image u-boot + kp50 (not nokia stock kernel) replace path of stock zImage with kp image19:14
Paliu-boot use this image for kernel /boot/zImage-2.6.28-omap119:14
Paliwhen creating combined image19:14
freemangordonPali, I now hout to do it, no worries19:14
freemangordon*how19:14
Paliok19:15
freemangordonPali, I great berakthrough re thumb2 - it turned out that a bit in Aux ctrl register which needs to be set in order arm thumb errata to take effect is not allowed to be written by kernel ;)19:15
freemangordonBut... there is SMC call for that, and it works perfect when called from u-boot19:16
Paliso I belive that thumb2 will work :)19:16
Palibtw, why it is not possible to enable it in kernel?19:17
Paliu-boot load kernel image and start executing it19:18
freemangordonbecause it is not accessible outside of the secure world, check here http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0344k/Bgbffjhh.html.19:18
freemangordonAnd kernel is running in non-secure world19:18
freemangordonbut the code is like it is in secure. I will re-write the patch to issue a SMC call, instead of directly write to C0 co-processor19:19
freemangordonBut first I want to see how will Ubuntu behave when IBE bit is set19:20

*** valerius has joined #maemo19:21

*** jonne has quit IRC19:27
freemangordonwill make a MR when ready19:27
Palifreemangordon, if we decrease size of kernel image, we can increase size of u-boot and enable support for onenand code (e.g. ubifs rootfs reading, flashing, ...)19:27
freemangordonaah, yes.19:28

freemangordonok, thanks19:46
freemangordonPali, not this one19:47
freemangordonI meant the delay for the screen where die id is shown19:47

freemangordonaaah, I had some mmc errors, that is why it was taking about 5 secs or so :(19:48

Paliyes :)20:34
freemangordonbut lets first see if it has any effect in Ubuntu20:34
Paliok20:35
PaliI found one problem in your patch20:35
freemangordonwhich is?20:35
Paliyou converting emu_hal_params_rx51 to u32*20:35
*** thexception|off is now known as thexception20:36
freemangordonthat function is copy/cat from original u-boot code, let me find the function20:36
freemangordonok, almost20:36
freemangordonyeah, search for omap3_emu_romcode_call20:36
Paliin C specification is written that between more variables in struct can be some placeholder20:36
Paliso you cannot cast struct { int, int, int, int } to int[4]20:37
freemangordonPali, I used the code already present in u-boot, search for the above function20:37
Paliok20:37
freemangordonPlai, it is not emu_hal_params_rx51 but &emu_hal_params_rx5120:37
freemangordonPali ^^^20:38
*** vulturalrurality has joined #maemo20:38
freemangordonok, &emu_romcode_params20:38
*** geaaru has quit IRC20:38
Jadehi20:38
freemangordonOr I am not understanding20:38
Palistruct { int first, int second, int third }, between "first" and "seconds" can be some padding20:38
Palicompiler can add some free space between struct variables20:39
Paliso this struct is not same as array of 3 integers20:39
freemangordonaah, now I got it. Yes, in theory, but oroginal u-boot code uses the same20:40
Palicould be, gcc in this case (for integers) maybe do not add nothing20:40
freemangordonyou can search for emu_hal_params (without _rx51) for the original declaration20:41
Palibut correct code is: struct { int first:32, int second:32, int third:32 }20:41
freemangordonok, agree20:41
freemangordonwell, change it then20:41
Paliwhen adding info about bits (:32) then compiler mustnt add space20:41
Paliok20:41
freemangordonPali, would you do the same patch in KP?20:42
freemangordonPali, BTW what we were discussing is called "structure member aligment" and the default aligment is the CPU word size AFAIK20:43
freemangordonor byte aligment20:43
*** NIN101 has quit IRC20:44

PaliI think that in C language specification is not written more, only that compiler may add20:45
freemangordonanyway, I agree that your notation is better, maybe upstream on omap3/board.c should be fixed too(or wherever the original structure declaration was)20:47
freemangordonPali, would you prepare a new u-boot version, so the guys with installed Ubuntu to test it and confirm if it solves SIGILL crashes20:48

freemangordonWell, lets see how much slower it will be once thumb errata actually works21:02
DocScrutinizer51since exactly stuff like the above alignment and similar would possibly break on such switch21:02

*** rcg1 has joined #maemo21:03
freemangordonwell, if the compiler works, then I see no reason. BTW have in mind I was running thumb2 compiled stuff on my primary device for a month or so without actually errata to be enabled21:04
freemangordonerrata workaround21:04
DocScrutinizer51well, RL results are basically indetermined when doing such a switch21:05
DocScrutinizer51you're entering a whole new world with none of your system rocks been tested yet21:06
* freemangordon wanders what exactly TI guy who wrote the workaround was thinking, when it is clearly stated in ARM docs that IBE bit is not accessible from outside the secure world21:06

DocScrutinizer51freemangordon: I'd say the fact you weren't able to find/build a clear testcase to reproduce the thumb problem during that months you're running it without patches, well that's rather unfortunate as it doesn't provide any method to even test your patches for efficience21:21
DocScrutinizer51the reason why thumb isn't used so far, the reason for any mutex in kernel, the reason for checking maloc returncode - all the same to make system not break on those rare niche cases21:23
freemangordonDocScrutinizer51, will test Ubuntu 12.04 for at least initial testing, lets see how it will behave, will think of more cmplicated test cases after Ubuntu does not SIGILL21:24

DocScrutinizer51we're not interested in a 'runs 99.8% of the time' system. That's what we got with windows21:24
DocScrutinizer51somebody found there's a problem, he probably managed to deliver a trace where that problem gets visible, and common sense been to avoid thumb to fix the issue. If you want to come up with a patch, you need a testcase that proves efficiency of that patch21:28
*** freemangordon has quit IRC21:28
DocScrutinizer51'running system for one month without issues' obviusly isn't, as you stated by your own comment21:29
DocScrutinizer51you need a testbed that 100% reproduces the problem when your patch is missing, and of course your patch needs to change it to 100% OK21:31
DocScrutinizer51then we still have  general risk associated to such a switch in architecture, which by itself will rule out doing that migration for productive systems21:33
DocScrutinizer51we've seen things break more than once on 'simpler' transitions like e.g. a mere update of gcc21:34

*** Openfree` has quit IRC23:25
DocScrutinizera full reflash usually shall fix things23:25
DocScrutinizerif it doesn't, you failed on correct full flashing procedure23:25
f3bruarylike I said, I did that, so there's no trace of pwnphone so I don't believe that's the issue23:25
f3bruaryI don't need help with pwnphone23:26
DocScrutinizerit's probably beyond this channel's scope to make pwnphone work23:26
f3bruaryI reflashed23:26
f3bruarymultiple times23:26
DocScrutinizersee above then, you did something wrong23:26
DocScrutinizeron flashing23:26
f3bruaryhmm23:26
f3bruaryIt's not that hard23:26
f3bruaryhow can I do it wrong23:27
DocScrutinizerthere's no known instance where flashing didn't help to fix sw induced problems23:27
f3bruaryok23:27
f3bruarywell has anybody experienced this problem ?23:27
DocScrutinizer(how can I do it wrong) you'd be amazed to see what we've seen here23:27
f3bruarywizard each reboot...23:27
DocScrutinizerwell, this wizard is normal23:27
f3bruarynot every time...23:27
DocScrutinizerif it's date/time/locale wizard23:28
DocScrutinizerof maemo23:28
f3bruaryyeah23:28
f3bruarybut now it does it every time I reboot23:28
DocScrutinizerthat's odd23:28
f3bruarythat's the issue23:28
Sicelof3bruary: because your battery is probably loose .. i get that recently on mine too23:28
DocScrutinizerit should do that only whan your realtime clock failed, which it isn't supposed to do unless you remove battery23:28
f3bruarywell, that's kinda weird, but I just moved those 2 pieces that hold the battery to keep it tighter23:29
f3bruarycause it has always been loose23:30
f3bruaryI hated that it fell out each time I removed the cover23:30
DocScrutinizerI suggest to remove battery for >2h and then re-insert and reboot, and see if RTC got fixed in a way it will survive next boot23:30
DocScrutinizererrr23:30
DocScrutinizerwhat exactly did you do to battery and sisters?23:31
f3bruarysisters ?23:31
DocScrutinizer;-D23:31
*** piggz has quit IRC23:31
*** ponyofdeath has quit IRC23:32
DocScrutinizerdid you just bend the steel latches at "bottom" end of battery?23:32
f3bruaryyeah a little23:32
f3bruarytiny bit23:32
DocScrutinizershould be safe23:32
f3bruarycause the battery was too loose23:32
f3bruarynow it holds it better23:33
DocScrutinizerI did as well, on a used phone I recently bought23:33
DocScrutinizer:-)23:33
DocScrutinizeryeah23:33
DocScrutinizercheck your battery contacts, they might get tired23:33
f3bruaryI just pushed them back a little23:34
f3bruarynow it's the same again23:34
DocScrutinizerI.E. the distance between the spring on left and on right side of each contact slot in battery should be considerably lower than thickness of the battery contact blades23:34
f3bruarylet's see if that helps23:34
f3bruarywhich I doubt23:34
*** piggz has joined #maemo23:35
DocScrutinizerthey might even touch23:35
*** ponyofdeath has joined #maemo23:35
*** jd has joined #maemo23:35
f3bruaryhmm it's going to the wizard, which is expected23:35
DocScrutinizerinserting something into the slot that's either not centered or simply "too thick" will bend those springs apart, and this can cause lots of troubles23:36
f3bruaryoh yeah, and it still won't detect the SIM card23:36
*** teotwaki_ has joined #maemo23:37
DocScrutinizerooh, another unrelated problem?23:37
Siceloof course SIM is another problem. reboot now to see that you won't get wizard again23:37
f3bruarynot that I noticed so far23:37
f3bruarytemporarily it could not start apps23:37
f3bruarybut that's over now23:38
DocScrutinizer:-/23:38
DocScrutinizer:-S23:38
Sicelolooks like your N900 has been throught a lot ..23:38
DocScrutinizercould you try booting without SIM?23:38
DocScrutinizertehn rebooting without SIM and without removing battery23:38
DocScrutinizerand see if wizard on 2nd boot23:39
f3bruaryI think it's going for the wizard again23:39
f3bruarylong loading time23:39
DocScrutinizer(obviously on first boot wizard is expected no matter what you did to fix the problem)23:39
f3bruarythis is the first reboot after bending the battery thingies back23:39
f3bruaryhave yet to try with removeing sim23:40
DocScrutinizerfirst do the second boot for bending action23:40
DocScrutinizerto check23:40
f3bruarythat's what I'm doing now23:40
DocScrutinizeronly then try SIM removal23:40
DocScrutinizerwith 2 boots23:40
f3bruaryhmm23:40
f3bruaryno wizard23:41
Sicelotoldya :P23:41
f3bruarybut the loading took longer than usual23:41
f3bruarythis is still with sim inserted23:41
DocScrutinizerdoes it take >60s from "NOKIA" to moving-dots to black screen to something reasonable on screen?23:41
f3bruarythe nokia screen passes fast23:42
f3bruarythen 60+ sec for dots23:42
DocScrutinizerwell, "first time" boot takes some minutes23:42
DocScrutinizerthat'S expected23:42
f3bruarythis was a reboot23:43
f3bruarywithout taking battery out23:43
DocScrutinizerit's initializing several things on your system23:43
f3bruaryso 2dn boot23:43
f3bruary2nd*23:43
DocScrutinizerwell, it was first boot without wizard23:43
f3bruaryoh like that23:43
f3bruaryok23:43
f3bruaryI'll reboot again23:43
DocScrutinizerdon't be to stern with it ;-D23:43
f3bruaryhaha23:44
f3bruaryit's a tough device23:44
f3bruaryI bought it a while ago23:44
f3bruarydecember23:44
DocScrutinizerso what's status of SIM now?23:44
f3bruaryI'm familiar with linux, so I could to cli stuff, play around with it much23:45
f3bruarystill busy23:45
DocScrutinizermhm23:45
DocScrutinizerwell, it's probably optifying things23:45
f3bruary+60 sec again23:46
DocScrutinizerI'm not all sure it likes getting interupted on optification process23:46
f3bruaryI'm not23:46
f3bruaryok booted23:46
f3bruarystill no sim detected23:46
DocScrutinizerwithout wizard?23:46
f3bruaryyes23:46
DocScrutinizerwhat's the icon in status bar for SIM?23:47
f3bruaryicon that looks like a sim card23:47
f3bruaryI'm gonna explode if you tell me it means something else23:47
DocScrutinizerwith a red bar across?23:47
f3bruaryyeah23:48
DocScrutinizermeans "no SIM", indeed23:48
f3bruaryah ok23:48
f3bruaryshall I take it out ?23:48
DocScrutinizermight also mean "modem got general trouble"23:48
Sicelotried a different sim on the N900?23:48
f3bruaryno23:48
DocScrutinizermodem operating directly from battery23:48
*** Sc0rpius has quit IRC23:49
*** muelli has joined #maemo23:49
f3bruaryI'm gonna shutdown and take SIM out23:49
DocScrutinizerso even short dropouts due to poor contact of battery will cause modem reset, which results in "no SIM"23:49
DocScrutinizerI gaher you boot with charger/PC plugged in?23:49
f3bruaryno..23:50
f3bruaryit's almost full though23:50
DocScrutinizeroh, only battery?23:50
f3bruaryyeah23:50
DocScrutinizergood23:50
*** javispedro has joined #maemo23:51
DocScrutinizerhi javispedro23:51
javispedromoo23:51
DocScrutinizerf3bruary: I suggest you make sure your 3 battery springs are tight (bend them ruthlessly with a pin or sth, until 2 arms almost touch)23:52
DocScrutinizermake sure for all 3 slots in battery. Then also check the device's contact blades23:53
DocScrutinizerclean them23:53
f3bruaryisnt it dangerous to poke there ?23:54
DocScrutinizerthen maybe reflash once again, and let system finish optification process (I.E. don't shut during/down after wizard, until maybe 10 min passed by)23:54
f3bruaryif I get shocked I'll blame it on Sicelo23:55
f3bruary;)23:55
*** hardaker has joined #maemo23:55
DocScrutinizer(dangerous) not that much if you don't insert the pin tip more than ~2mm23:55
f3bruarythats comforting23:55
f3bruaryshould I blow on my SIM for good luck ?23:56
