internetishardis fennec/firefox anywhere in the repo?00:01
internetishardor I have to use ovi?00:01
DocScrutinizer05vi____: yes, it will00:02
vi____internetishard: fennac sucks major balls.00:02
vi____unless you use the thumb version.00:02
internetishardyeah, well opera keeps crashing and I'm not using the default browser00:02
vi____which is bareable.00:02
vi____what is wrong with the default.00:02
vi____what is wrong with the default?00:02
internetishardIt's just not smart00:03
internetishardhigh latency. I'll type in derp.ddd on wifi, and it won't know it isn't a valid domain for 5+ seconds00:03
vi____internetishard: you have adblock plus?00:04
internetishardmaybe, not sure00:04
internetishardfor fennec? I don't have fennec anymore since backing up apps and restoring doesn't grab it00:04
vi____what?00:05
vi____adblock for default browser00:05
internetishardnot afaik00:05
internetishard...whyyy00:05
vi____it is well known for slowing the browser down00:06
vi____hostsfile blocking seems to be faster00:07

SpeedEvilemmc, not one band01:18
SpeedEvilone NAND01:19
SpeedEvilemmc is a pure block device that does not shrink with use.01:19
SpeedEviloh01:19
SpeedEvilbut in principle may have per-unit initial capacity variations I guess.01:19
ShadowJKthat would be my guess too01:23
* SpeedEvil grrs at new phone hw being available with 16g only.01:25
ShadowJKhm?01:27
DocScrutinizer05and that's what I said, no?01:29
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer05: yes01:30
SpeedEvilDocScrutinizer05: I was not quite awake01:30
DocScrutinizer05 np :-)01:30
DocScrutinizer05I'm not quite fir today either01:31

SpeedEvilShadowJK: was looking at nexus 4, in absence of announcement elsewhere. though I expect to at least held off till then01:31
SpeedEvilhold off01:31
ShadowJKIt's funny, even though it's double price here due to google not figuring out how to put phone in an envelope and dropping it off at usps, the price is still competititve :/01:31
SpeedEvilI almost question if t,s not subsidised.01:32
SpeedEvilI don't know how much a discount you can get if you pay up front foe a couple of million phones.01:33
DocScrutinizer05quite a bit01:33
DocScrutinizer05I heard usual calculation is that every chip costs you 3 times the purchase price on sale of complete unit01:34
SpeedEvilGoogle does have a large pile of cash.01:35
DocScrutinizer05I guess that changes with number of units approaching the 7 digits01:35
*** thetet has quit IRC01:36
DocScrutinizer05so when selling 10 mio instead 10k units, you may expect sales price dropping to the half or a third01:36
*** louisdk has quit IRC01:39
SpeedEvilhttp://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Financials?s=GOOG:NSQ01:39
SpeedEvilyow01:39
SpeedEvilclosing n 50 billion cash reserves01:39
ShadowJKIt's almost certainly subsidized, because it's not sold in places wehre "Google Play" doesn't work.01:39

ShadowJKThe geolocation stuff really annoys me.01:50
*** spoofy has joined #maemo01:51
* infobot waves01:51
ShadowJKNot just that some stuff is available in only some places, but depending on where google thinks your IP is located, you get different "first page" results too01:51
ShadowJKAnd because of the enormous quantity of stuff, you might never ever find something when connecting from one IP, that you'd find immediately when connecting from another IP01:52

DocScrutinizer05well, that's probably their business model to monetize from apps02:08
DocScrutinizer05your app may get on page1 in regions A, B, C but then you have to accept three times the % for google02:09
ShadowJKNah it's more that it tries to figure out what's relevant for a person of specific nationality02:10
ShadowJKIt'd be cool if it could actually correctly classify me. However, when I surf the web I randomly get ads in finnish, german, dutch, and japanese (!) :)02:11
DocScrutinizer05hmm, there's only one cure for that: register with google ;-P02:11
DocScrutinizer05enable cookies02:12
DocScrutinizer05get a gmail account02:13
ShadowJKIt doesn't work.02:15
ShadowJKYou're forced to register with google, and forced to get a google+ account, and forced to get gmail, when you switch on an android device.02:16
Skryand after that, it still shows pages in different language you actually want02:16
ShadowJKyep02:17
ShadowJKand google play (their app store) content varies depending on whether I connect through wifi or bluetooth->n900->interwebs02:17
* DocScrutinizer05 wonders how stupid google can be02:17
ShadowJKWell02:17
ShadowJKI wonder02:17
*** Darkchaos has quit IRC02:18
infobotit's a stupid bot only02:18
ShadowJKIf I get a US VPN, do I automatically get access to the music? :-)02:18
*** chenca has quit IRC02:18
SkryI just fought with blogger last night, I've set language to english from browser, google profile and all the other their services including bloggers own settings -> still in finnish02:18
*** jhb has quit IRC02:18
ShadowJKnews.google.com has been in spanish/portuguese for me the last few months. I finally managed to switch it back after viewing the website on a friend's computer and seeing where the language option was.02:19
DocScrutinizer05haha02:20
DocScrutinizer05clean cookie cache02:20
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: maybe you should do less dealextreme browsing02:21
DocScrutinizer05google might think you love those chinese pages02:21
*** at1as has joined #maemo02:22
DocScrutinizer05or you write a blogpost about it. Google will nail the whole class b subnet of your carrier to your location then02:24
ShadowJKI was getting japanese groupon ads though, not chinese02:25
*** luke-jr|otg has joined #maemo02:25
ShadowJKIf google was using my youtube habbits, I'd imagine they'd feed me Korean ads due to the amount of starcraft I watch02:26
SkryI only watch Tykylevits and vegan black metal chef from tube, wonder what kind of ads that combination would produce..02:29
Palimaemo bugzilla is down too!02:34

HurrianSkry, it could be worse. Installed Chrome for Android, and Google search was using my local domain and not Google.com03:12
HurrianThere were /no/ settings for it.03:12
Skry:D03:12
Skrywtg google03:12
HurrianEnded up having to connect to my VPS's VPN to get a US location to use Google.com03:13
HurrianWhy is every website doing this? It's ridiculous to set location preferences automatically.03:14
SpeedEvil:-\03:14
Skryuser has been deprecated03:14
HurrianFor example, I took a trip to Japan. Checked in on bookFace at a few places, and now I still get Japanese-language ads.03:15

DocScrutinizer05Pali: if bq27200 has accurate values (CI=0) then the percentage of charge available is basically that as delivered by bq27200. No further calculations needed. Percentage always supposed to be percentage of currently available max charge. If CI=1 and this bq27200 has no good values for any of the integrated/derived values, you need to calculate percentage of available charge from cell voltage, best done by a LUT. To convert this19:16
DocScrutinizer05percentage to a mAh value, you might want to multiply design-capacity of the battery by the percentage of available charge as derived from cell voltage19:16
*** brzys has joined #maemo19:17
DocScrutinizer05it's arguable if we want to use BSI for determining design-capacity in that case, or we rather use a hardcoded e.g 1400mAh19:19
* ShadowJK would rescale 6-100 to 0-10019:21
DocScrutinizer05with hardcoded value, user *knows* the mAh and thus TTE etc are based on incorrect values (sp when using 2nd source batteries like mugen), but user also knows the value used and easily can convert in his head to the e.g. double capacity of the battery he's actually using.19:21
DocScrutinizer05with BSI, the assumed design capacity and thus current capacity might be more correct for e.g. mugen et al, but still might as well be wrong, and user has no idea what's the design capacity value used to calculate the mAh shown in system-applet19:23
DocScrutinizer05I'm actually undecided what's preferable19:24
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: nope, since device is supposed to shut down hard at EDVF, not EDV119:24
ShadowJKWith my original bl-5js that was possible19:25
ShadowJKnot with the newer BL-5J and Japod though, the "knee" is really sharp :)19:26
kerioShadowJK: huh?19:27
DocScrutinizer05EDV1 is a good trigger for starting yelling at user about battery low, and it's supposed to happen at x>0 % of remaining charge. Since EDV1 is defined as 6% charge level on discharge, it makes sense to keep it that way, not to rescale that point in discharge to 0%19:27
kerioShadowJK: how good are you at kernel programming, btw?19:28
DocScrutinizer05the fact that bq27200 - for adjustment reasons - jumps from 6% -> 0% doesn't change that rationale19:28
DocScrutinizer05since even then, there are a remaining 6% of charge supposed to be available in cell until device shuts down19:29
kerioi think ShadowJK says that there's not enough juice in newer BL-5Js to do a clean shutdown at EDVF19:30
DocScrutinizer05if we say 0% charge is the moment when device shuts down hard, we mustn't rescale the percentage values of BQ2720019:30
DocScrutinizer05kerio: I honestly doubt that19:31
keriohe said something about a knee19:31
DocScrutinizer05I know that knee ;-)19:31
ShadowJKI mean that bq27200's 6% point of 3248mV is only vaguely accurate for the original bl-5js, with the new ones, edv1 point has almost enough power remaining to do clean shutdown. The voltage drops so fast I can't even see edvf coming, because the 1s refresh of bq27200 is not fast enough19:32
kerioShadowJK: damn, how do you calibrate it?19:33
DocScrutinizer05let's do some rough reckoning: device needs 30s to shut down, might eat 1000mA during that (high values on purpose), these are 30,000mAs19:33
keriooh, you mean that you can't see EDVF because then it hard shutdowns19:33
DocScrutinizer05~30000/360019:33

*** ced117 has quit IRC19:33
DocScrutinizer05not too much for any knee, no matter how steep19:33
*** vi___ has quit IRC19:34
*** vi_ has quit IRC19:34
ShadowJKkerio; well edvf is at 3000-something mV, hard shutdown at approx 2800, but the decline from 3000 to 2800 takes less than a second19:34
DocScrutinizer05o.O19:34
DocScrutinizer05maybe when you ramp up load from 5mA to 1200mA19:35
ShadowJKFor this battery, the thresholds would be better at 3200 and 3375 :)19:35
DocScrutinizer05then voltage will drop from 3000 to 2800mV in a millisecond19:35
DocScrutinizer05only on poor battery with high Z though19:36
DocScrutinizer05I might agree we ideally want to allow user to config EDVF-sys19:37
DocScrutinizer05but alas we virtually aren't able to allow this for bq2720019:37
ShadowJKI havent done much testing at idle, but with my high-z batteries, there's alot use time left after 3248mV19:38
keriowtf is z19:38
DocScrutinizer05(unless we find a way to reprogram the EEPROM in device)19:38

ShadowJKhttp://enivax.net/jk/n900/volt.png the reason the cyan japod bl-5j has no datapoints logged after 3200mV is that device hard shutdown :)19:41
DocScrutinizer05we might want to start a special mode when VBAT trips a user defined EDVF-sys, where system intentionally ramps up current drawn from battery to 500mA for 10s, every other minute, to let bq27200 detect EDVF(real) under a load as anticipated during shutdown19:41
keriodafuq19:41
DocScrutinizer05for your japod that EDVF-sys should be 3350mV I'd guess19:42
*** sq-one has joined #maemo19:42
*** lbt is now known as lbt_away19:42
kerioDocScrutinizer05: or, you know, just do things based on voltage instead of bq27200 flags19:43
DocScrutinizer05or that19:43
*** ArGGu^^ has joined #maemo19:43
ShadowJKAnother view, the point at which the lines touch the bottom is the minimum voltage needed to sustain more than 3248mV under maximum load http://enivax.net/jk/n900/margin.png19:44
DocScrutinizer05though we'd never complete a learning cycle then19:44
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: isn't that just a very screwed way to say "this battery has a Z of xy"?19:45
ShadowJKSo with the crappy BL-5J, that point is reached at 3650-ish mV at idle, but slightly above 3400mV for the better batteries :)19:45
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05; yes, but it takes into account a Z that changes between empty and full batt19:45
DocScrutinizer05obviously a general rle for batteries is: the higher the capacity squeezed out of a given volume, the higher the Z of that cell19:46
*** ced117 has quit IRC19:46
DocScrutinizer05rule*19:46
ShadowJKhttp://enivax.net/jk/n900/ohm.png :)19:46
*** ced117 has joined #maemo19:46
DocScrutinizer05obviously a physical rule introduced by electrodes getting thinner the more active chemistry you cram into that volume19:47
ShadowJKthe higher density japod and new nokia bl-5j have better Z than I ever saw with the original 1320 nokia bl-5j :)19:48
DocScrutinizer05sorry, have to run to get some 'fuel' for me, for the weekend19:48
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: that's due to better chemistry then19:48
ShadowJKyep19:48
DocScrutinizer05or due to better geometry19:48
ShadowJKCharges faster, lasts longer, holds higher voltage under load :)19:49
*** hazchemix has quit IRC19:51
DocScrutinizer05anyway we started with calculation of charge-percentage, it's always meant to be percentage of currently provided maximum available charge of that particular battery (=100%) to the point where device shuts down (soft but inevitably) (=0%)19:51
DocScrutinizer05if the values from bq27200 don't extrapolate from 6% down to the point where device shuts down, then those values have to get scaled19:52
DocScrutinizer05otoh, if they don't, then those values are moot anyway, since the learning cycle is based on that EDV1 voltage19:53
DocScrutinizer05so we can't assume any battery ever reching point of shutdown at maybe 15% of bq27200 calculated available charge, since then bq27200 never could complete a learning cycle19:54
kerioso the high-capacity batteries are bad!19:54
DocScrutinizer05nope, our handling of them is bad19:54
DocScrutinizer05or rather, poor19:54
keriovoltage is always accurate, right?19:55
DocScrutinizer05we need a scheme as suggested by me above, to compensate for voltage drop due to Z, at end of charge19:55
DocScrutinizer05yep, volatge always accurate, as is mA19:55
ShadowJKIdeally I'd think fire off a low battery alarm when taking into account Z, shutdown threshold would be reached at max load. soft shutdown after edv1 unless a call in progress, then just sync fs regulary and wait for hard shutdown?19:55
DocScrutinizer05sounds about right19:56
keriohm, soft shutdown after EDV1? :s19:56
keriohow do you calibrate then?19:56
DocScrutinizer05calibration aka learning cycle completes at raching EDV119:56
ShadowJKif edv1 is raised by bq27200, then learning already happened19:56

kerioamospalla: given that, it's completely and absolutely safe*20:52
kerio*note: may not be completely and absolutely safe20:52
amospallayoure right20:53
DocScrutinizer05indeed, cssu-thimb is as safe as your backup measures are20:53
kerioDocScrutinizer05: the same can be said about CSSU actually :)20:53
DocScrutinizer05yep20:53
amospallaI rsync daily the full phone20:53
kerioamospalla: hm, that won't really work properly20:53
kerioi mean, it's a live system20:54
kerioopened files and stuff20:54
DocScrutinizer05well, it kinda works, but isn't exactly easy to restore20:54
kerioDocScrutinizer05: make tarball, restore tarball with backupmenu :)20:54
DocScrutinizer05and yes, you might see problems with open files20:54
DocScrutinizer05~bm20:54
infoboti heard backupmenu is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=6397520:54
DocScrutinizer05no open files20:54
kerioamospalla: before installing any kind of cssu you are strongly advised to install backupmenu and do a full backup20:54
DocScrutinizer05easy restore20:54
kerioamospalla: once you have that, restoring is really easy20:55
kerioeven if you completely fuck up things20:55
keriothere's even a fiasco image of stock PR1.3 with backupmenu already installed20:55
amospallaso, there is no way to do a functional backup with the live file system ?20:56
amospallaI remember playing with backup menu some months ago20:56
DocScrutinizer05amospalla: be aware though that, while maybe rather stable in binaries, the *maintenance* of cssu-thumb is sub-par and no way at same level as cssu-stable or even cssu-testing20:56
kerioDocScrutinizer05: hey! >:(20:56
kerioit's effectively the same as cssu-testing!20:56
amospallayes, I guess its less stable than testing, Im using stable now20:56
amospallawell, its testing, plus new packages compiled with thumb, so there is always an added risk20:57
DocScrutinizer05there's additional steps involved in setup of cssu-thumb20:57
amospallabut, I remember playing with backupmenu, and doing an rsync from root, got more bytes than could be put on that root file system20:57
amospalladoing rsync from backupmen20:58
kerioamospalla: that's the magic of ubifs20:58
DocScrutinizer05and updates are not same smooth process as for cssu-s20:58
DocScrutinizer05or -t20:58
amospallaohhh.. ok, I understand now20:58
amospallaso, what does that mean, could I restore that rsync copy later to root volume?20:58
amospallaif I have more bytes to restore than df shows me that volume can handle?20:59
DocScrutinizer05file-by-file yes20:59
kerioamospalla: well, it did fit previously :)20:59

*** ron0062000 has joined #maemo21:00
DocScrutinizer05I'd like to go further the path of nanddump/nandwrite we explored some weeks ago, kerio21:00
kerioamospalla: in theory, backupmenu can restore the tarball you made with rsync21:00
amospallaso, rsync from live file system, with right parameters is not good enough for a backup?21:01
amospallaI know it's not recommended21:01
kerioamospalla: it's just kinda weird to restore21:01
amospallabut it would be like a copy of a hard reset state21:01
*** dhbiker has joined #maemo21:01
amospallayes, but within backupmenu, I can do rsync21:01
amospallaand I remember had some script of that21:01
kerioamospalla: because we all know unclean shutdowns are so good for your data :P21:01
kerioamospalla: of course21:01
kerioyou can do that from rescueOS too21:01
kerioreally, any system that doesn't actually mount the maemo rootfs21:02
keriothe question is *why*, though?21:02
kerioDocScrutinizer05: for the kernel, you mean?21:02
DocScrutinizer05the recommended way however is: do a BM backup to a tarball on uSD, restore from same tarball if needed21:02
amospallaI understand, but using it daily is a pain21:02
DocScrutinizer05kerio: not only kernel, maybe even disk-image of /21:02
DocScrutinizer05from inside BM21:03
kerioDocScrutinizer05: hm, that won't work21:03
kerioand it's also wasteful21:03
DocScrutinizer05dunno, basically for such scheme it's irrelevant which partition to backup, first instance21:03
DocScrutinizer05we could even do a suspend-to-disk and then get an image of the swapfile. start up system into live state rather than booting ;-)21:05
DocScrutinizer05won't possibly work out for cmt21:05
keriooffline mode/stopped sscd maybe21:06
DocScrutinizer05and a few other peripherals that never get shutdown during suspend-to-disk21:06

*** devilinside has joined #maemo21:07
DocScrutinizer05the idea to install and start up a suspended live system rather than a rootfs to boot from, quite intriguing an idea21:07

DocScrutinizer05I'm not saying this is the supposed way to handle things, but actually it seems it's how things are handled right now22:00

DocScrutinizer05useless to muse about it. If your uSD has IO errors, then enabling swap on it will cause kernel panic ar random point in time22:50
