ampharos | there's a for-n900 version it seems | 02:36 |
DocScrutinizer05 | lemme doublecheck | 02:36 |
ampharos | extras-devel... I'm waiting til I use the thing some more | 02:36 |
DocScrutinizer05 | err, you will wait forever then | 02:36 |
DocScrutinizer05 | lots of good and mature stuff got stuck in extras-devel since promoting is a flawed process | 02:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | otoh not all in extras-devel is safe for use | 02:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and generally extras-devel is not safe for updates. So the suggestion is to enable the catalog in HAM, search whatever packet you want to install, install it, and disable catalog again | 02:38 |
ampharos | i'll go ghetto | 02:38 |

DocScrutinizer05 | strongly deprecated usually | 02:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no dependency resolving for you | 02:39 |

*** jon_y has joined #maemo | 02:47 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | no, you don't need to open and close again HAM | 02:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it just takes a few minutes to finish a background process apt-worker, when you close it | 02:48 |

Macer | she said "i can do this.. and drop this down.. and give you free txting for 6 months...." | 02:57 |
ampharos | i'm going SIMless, it's all terrible up here | 02:57 |
Macer | and in the end... she saves me $10 net | 02:57 |
Macer | LOL | 02:57 |

Macer | to like 90 | 02:57 |
Macer | (after taxes) | 02:57 |
Macer | lol | 02:57 |
Macer | i was like.. uhm.. yeah that only saves me $10... just leave everything alone please and i'll just pay the cancellation fee | 02:58 |
Macer | hahaha | 02:58 |
Macer | what makes it so bad is i went from a lumia 900 to an e7 | 02:58 |

DocScrutinizer05 | sure, who'd use it on desktop ;-P | 03:36 |
FlameReaper | the reason it is my favorite is solely because of DCC | 03:36 |
eccerr0r | I also run through a bouncer, it might filter crap from the irc server... | 03:36 |

eccerr0r | last time I dcc'ed was probably when I was using BX... | 03:37 |

DocScrutinizer05 | it's more depending on your network than on your client | 04:06 |
FlameReaper | in my case, xchat is quite prone to crashing before I can edit... stuff. | 04:06 |
eccerr0r | it's sad we have to STUN now... then again, running out of IP addresses sucks too. | 04:07 |

DocScrutinizer05 | actually it's fun | 04:57 |

DocScrutinizer05 | and you should learn to flash early when there's nothing you would lose when flashing | 04:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so DO NOT insert a SIM | 04:57 |
alec_ | yes, i remembered you saying that so i deliberately haven't done much | 04:57 |
alec_ | i don't even plan to use it with a SIM =) | 04:57 |
alec_ | maybe if i'm in europe, but here in the US pay-as-you go is outrageous rip-off | 04:58 |

alec_ | ok | 05:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's a common roadblocker nowadays | 05:02 |
alec_ | ok | 05:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since every distro ships this useless kernel module now | 05:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | which makes me ponder about state of linux in general | 05:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | when 10 years ago you were happy when you could find the right modules SOURCE for your system and hw, nowadays you're happy when you don't get too much cruft with your distro | 05:04 |
*** maybeArgh has quit IRC | 05:04 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | I wonder what feels worse | 05:04 |
alec_ | good point | 05:05 |
alec_ | i guess there are some distributions that specialize in being cruft-free (arch, gentoo, lfs), but i would never use them just because i don't have time | 05:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | meanwhile, host repository.maemo.org shows it is resolvable. So when your N900 complains, it means you have no proper DNS server from DHCP, or even no internet connection at all | 05:07 |
alec_ | ok | 05:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I hope you got a proper WLAN where you live, so updating N900 should be a relatively painless process | 05:08 |
DocScrutinizer05 | any other methods to connect N900 to internet are cimbersume or clumsy | 05:09 |

alec_ | so, that's three .bin files i need, thedead1440? i'm a bit confused about which images i need | 06:05 |
thedead1440 | nope | 06:06 |
thedead1440 | emmc: http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/nokia_N900/RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin | 06:06 |
thedead1440 | rootfs: http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/nokia_N900/RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin | 06:06 |
thedead1440 | flash the emmc using flasher-3.5 -f -F emmc.bin | 06:06 |
thedead1440 | once its done do not start your device but remove the battery and insert it back | 06:07 |
alec_ | ok | 06:07 |
thedead1440 | then pass the command flasher-3.5 -f -F rootfs.bin | 06:07 |
alec_ | yes | 06:07 |
thedead1440 | once its done do flasher-3.5 -f -F rootfs.bin -R and your phone once done will reboot | 06:07 |
thedead1440 | usually i only do flasher-3.5 -f -F rootfs.bin -F emmc.bin -R but that's not recommended from the looks of it so doing the above is the safest way... | 06:08 |
alec_ | ok | 06:09 |
thedead1440 | fuck me the last sentence should have read: "once its done do flasher-3.5 -f -F emmc.bin -R and your phone once done will reboot" | 06:10 |
thedead1440 | sorry for the confusion :S | 06:10 |
alec_ | ah, right | 06:10 |
alec_ | btw, i am able to access repository.maemo.org but getting a hash sum mismatch with apt-get, so it refuses to process the .deb files | 06:11 |
thedead1440 | but the .deb is already downloaded so you can manually do a dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/PKG.deb | 06:12 |
alec_ | good point | 06:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or you disable hashsum checking in apt | 06:13 |
alec_ | yeah | 06:13 |
alec_ | it's going to be a real pain to dpkg -i everything manually | 06:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there's an option like allownohashsum or similar, which iirc only takes effect when you also move away the hashsum file | 06:14 |
alec_ | it's not --allow-unauthenticated is it? | 06:15 |

alec_ | i turn it on, it says nokia, then it turns back off | 08:32 |

*** kimitake is now known as kimitake_idle | 08:34 | |
eccerr0r | thats what my phone did when the battery was too weak to boot or got into charging mode... if you just exported the path without putting it into a .profile or something file, that shouldn't be a problem... | 08:34 |
alec_ | i was root b/c i was too lazy to add myself to the sudoers. next time i'll definitely not do that. | 08:35 |
eccerr0r | so you actually stuck it in some file? | 08:35 |
alec_ | after i exported the path all of the permissions were totally fucked. | 08:36 |
alec_ | nope | 08:36 |
alec_ | i just issued the command | 08:36 |
eccerr0r | it should only be temporary | 08:36 |
alec_ | none of the binaries would work after that, so i rebooted | 08:36 |
alec_ | i know, eccerr0r, that's why i rebooted | 08:36 |
eccerr0r | if you just typed it in the command line... could have control-d'ed out too :D | 08:36 |
alec_ | yes. i exited all of my command line sessions | 08:36 |
alec_ | then i tried to start xterminal again. wouldn't start. | 08:37 |
eccerr0r | must've did something else... | 08:37 |
alec_ | weird | 08:37 |

* eccerr0r has yet to reflash... but libusb0 vs libusb1 was a PITA for other USB devices... | 08:40 | |
*** Pali has joined #maemo | 08:40 | |
Hurrian | DocScrutinizer05, are you using GNOME, or did you activate PA manually using systemd enable? | 08:41 |
Hurrian | s/systemd/systemctl/ | 08:41 |
infobot | Hurrian meant: DocScrutinizer05, are you using GNOME, or did you activate PA manually using systemctl enable? | 08:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | KDe | 08:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | KDE | 08:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I honestly would *never* deliberately start PA | 08:42 |
Hurrian | have you tried systemctl restart pulseaudio.service? | 08:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no | 08:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since I had no clue | 08:42 |
*** alec_ has quit IRC | 08:42 | |
Hurrian | If that doesn't work, then it's being launched somewhere by some init script, might as well reboot the box. | 08:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Failed to issue method call: Unit pulseaudio.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status pulseaudio.service' for details. | 08:43 |
* eccerr0r tried to completely get rid of pulseaudio from his linux box... | 08:43 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure!! didn't manage yet | 08:43 |
eccerr0r | is there actually a pulseaudio daemon running right now? | 08:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | this PC is just errr 2 weeks old | 08:43 |
Hurrian | Alright, so it's probably piping the audio using the pulse protocol into the kernel pulse device. | 08:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes | 08:43 |
Hurrian | DocScrutinizer05, why not use OSS for your system audio needs? | 08:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I could as well kill that friggin daemon | 08:44 |
eccerr0r | iirc there should be a user PA daemon running that gets restarted upon login to console | 08:44 |
eccerr0r | nooo dont use oss... | 08:44 |
Hurrian | Why /not/ use OSS? Except for the lack of application support, it's simple and just works (nowadays). | 08:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the fsck I need a running system here, with sound. NO REBOOTS! | 08:45 |
*** kraft has quit IRC | 08:45 | |
eccerr0r | if you want to just listen to 2.0 stereo and hear beeps, then OSS is fine. | 08:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and why would i use OSS when there's ALSA | 08:45 |
eccerr0r | exactly should just use ALSA directly. | 08:45 |
eccerr0r | PA is a good idea but poorly implemented... | 08:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | PA is the broken solution for a non-existing problem | 08:46 |
eccerr0r | i think it really needs more hooks into the kernel... but then might well just put all of it into the kernel. | 08:46 |
Hurrian | DocScrutinizer05, restart your X session. | 08:46 |
*** kraft has joined #maemo | 08:46 | |
Hurrian | It's a bitch to work with Pulse if you didn't start it using systemd. | 08:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I WONT | 08:47 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, existing problem is how to share sound card via network | 08:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | pffff | 08:48 |
Pali | PA has it implemented but, BAD | 08:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | what a friggin non-issue, share soundcard over network | 08:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and ALSA can do that as well | 08:48 |
DocScrutinizer05 | probably better than PA | 08:49 |
thedead1440_ | pulseaudio -k ? | 08:49 |
Hurrian | DocScrutinizer05: killall pulseaudio, then configure phonon to output to ALSA | 08:49 |
Pali | can alsa share sound card via network? | 08:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and honestly I +never* needed such BS | 08:49 |
*** VDVsx has joined #maemo | 08:49 | |
Pali | btw, alsa has one big problem: totally stupid confiugarion language | 08:49 |
eccerr0r | the only feature of PA that I like is that individual streams can be volume controlled like in windows, even if the application does not provide support. | 08:49 |
Pali | + move stream from one sound card to another | 08:49 |
Pali | this is why I'm using pulseaudio | 08:49 |
eccerr0r | that too, if I had more than one sound card... | 08:50 |
eccerr0r | (or headset or bluetooth or ...) | 08:50 |
Pali | I have bluetooth headset and I want to swich between notebook speakers and bluetooth without restarting apps | 08:50 |
Pali | and without pause | 08:50 |
eccerr0r | yeah... PA will let you do that. Again it's a good idea, just poorly implemented. | 08:51 |
Pali | but if somebody write 1) nice GUI for userspace alsa and 2) above switching support to alsa, I will stop using PA | 08:51 |
eccerr0r | the ALSA->PA->ALSA pathway gives me the chills. | 08:51 |
Pali | eccerr0r, also if you are using alsa it is: userspace alsa --> kernel alsa | 08:51 |
Pali | and if application support pulseaudio it is: pulseaudio --> kernel alsa | 08:52 |
Pali | otherwise: userspace alsa --> pulse plugin --> pulseaudio --> kernel alsa | 08:52 |
*** alec1 has joined #maemo | 08:52 | |
eccerr0r | yes the whole problem is if you have a mix of native alsa apps that arent PA aware and try to use with PA, problems galore. | 08:52 |
Pali | btw, there is also sound server jackd | 08:53 |
alec1 | i can't seem to flash it... | 08:53 |
Pali | isnt jackd replacement for PA? | 08:53 |
*** alec1 is now known as alec_ | 08:53 | |

alec_ | nope, fully charged | 08:54 |
Pali | remove battery, plug usb cable, start flasher, insert battery | 08:54 |
eccerr0r | the behavior you're seeing is very remiscient of when I was having charging problems and had a battery that was too low... | 08:55 |
*** calvaris has joined #maemo | 08:55 | |
alec_ | ok, pali, i will try that order | 08:55 |
Pali | make sure you are *not* using usb hubs and usb3.0 ports, and you have last version of linux flasher | 08:56 |
Pali | also make sure you are root | 08:56 |
alec_ | i used sudo to issue the command but i can use sudo -i | 08:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | (<Pali> btw, alsa has one big problem: totally stupid confiugarion language) HAHA, yeah better PA with NO config at all | 08:56 |
alec_ | it says 'booting device into flash mode' | 08:56 |
alec_ | then it prints 'suitable device not found' | 08:57 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, no PA has config files | 08:57 |
Pali | and are better | 08:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | fuckit | 08:57 |
Pali | alec_, what are you trying to flash? | 08:57 |
Pali | eMMC or rootfs? | 08:57 |
alec_ | the eMMC | 08:57 |
Pali | alec_, do you have working maemo? | 08:57 |
alec_ | well, i did, pali | 08:58 |
Pali | is now bootable? | 08:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | alec_: reflash combined, then vanilla, then combined again | 08:58 |
alec_ | nope | 08:58 |
alec_ | ok, docscrutinizer05 | 08:58 |
alec_ | i managed to brick it by being root | 08:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ~flash | 08:58 |
infobot | maemo-flashing is, like, http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware | 08:58 |
Pali | alec_, for flashing eMMC you need working maemo system and after flashing eMMC you need to flash rootfs too | 08:59 |
alec_ | aah | 08:59 |
alec_ | i see | 08:59 |
alec_ | -f -F <binfile>, right? | 08:59 |
Pali | so correct order is: combined, emmc, combined | 08:59 |
alec_ | ok | 08:59 |
alec_ | do i need -R? | 08:59 |
Pali | alcec_, make sure you are not boot device between flashes | 08:59 |
freemangordon | Pali: shall I comment on "Wondering if we can integrate these into ..."? | 08:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no -r | 09:00 |
alec_ | i will do that, pali. which switches should i use for these three operations? | 09:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ever | 09:00 |
alec_ | ok | 09:00 |
freemangordon | Pali: As this is not something technical | 09:00 |
Pali | DocScrutinizer05, what is preffered way? ^^ | 09:00 |
Pali | freemangordon, what? | 09:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the one described in ~flashing | 09:00 |
freemangordon | Pali: sec | 09:00 |

Pali | freemangordon, yes comment it | 09:01 |
Macer | with a working modem | 09:01 |
Macer | heh | 09:01 |
Macer | and a usb port that wont fall off :/ | 09:01 |
alec_ | the one described in flashing is flasher-3.5 -f -F <binfile> -R | 09:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | alec_: please read this page *completely*: | 09:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ~flash | 09:01 |
infobot | from memory, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware | 09:01 |
alec_ | i have read it, docscrutinizer05 | 09:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | then you wouldn't ask | 09:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | reread it | 09:02 |
freemangordon | Pali: Do we want that "merge"? And if yes, who'll implement it? | 09:02 |
* alec_ rereads it | 09:02 | |
freemangordon | Pali: in theory it is possible | 09:02 |
Pali | freemangordon, I think that code in omap is different as for n900 | 09:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | particularly the stuff in (!)boxes and and bottom | 09:02 |
Pali | possible yes, but now it is clean that n900 code is in board-rx51*.c files | 09:03 |
freemangordon | Pali: but not much, the only major difference is how the parameters count is passed. But that can be workarounded | 09:03 |
eccerr0r | I hope scraping off the resist isn't going to damage the foil integrity (when doing the microusb strengthening)... | 09:03 |
freemangordon | Pali: IIRC :) | 09:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | alec_: >> | 09:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | When flashing the eMMC content, the safe way is flash the eMMC/VANILLA image first, then remove battery for a moment, and then flash the FIASCO/Rootfs image. Do not boot up the device between the two i.e do NOT use the -R parameter at the end! | 09:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Also see troubleshooting section, bullet 6:"If you cannot establish..." | 09:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | << | 09:04 |
alec_ | ok | 09:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | >>l. Note however that eMMC flashing will fail when your rootfs is completely messed up, the recommended flash sequence then is rootfs, eMMC, rootfs *again*.<< | 09:04 |
alec_ | ok | 09:04 |
alec_ | so, -R reboots the device | 09:04 |
Macer | DocScrutinizer05: the page you gave for flashing | 09:04 |
Macer | has -R in its instructions | 09:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#Troubleshooting | 09:05 |
Pali | somebody interesting in implementing Mk II eMMC flashing protocol to 0xFFFF? | 09:05 |
Macer | just saying... n900 instructions have -R | 09:05 |
Pali | we can fix this stupid flashing :-) | 09:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | >>If you cannot establish a connection with N900, or got any other problems during starting or completing the flashing process, do the following steps which describe the complete foolproof flashing procedure again in terse form:...< | 09:05 |

alec_ | ok | 09:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you can tell it's not when your modprobe -r cdc_phonet works again without spitting error | 09:25 |
alec_ | all right =) | 09:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | each time modprobe -r cdc_phonet doesn't spit an error you know there's been something wrong already | 09:25 |
alec_ | yeah | 09:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | btw you can safely keep this shit blacklisted, since nobody really NOBODY ever uses it | 09:26 |
*** dhbiker has quit IRC | 09:26 | |
alec_ | yeah; i'm planning to | 09:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for the germans here: it's a "SODA-module" "ist NUR SO da" | 09:27 |
alec_ | ok, so i flashed the emmc ok, but now when i try to flash the rootfs a second time the same thing as in the paste happens | 09:27 |
alec_ | the flasher just quits instantly with those messages when i plug in the phone; no actual flashing takes place | 09:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | modprobe -r cdc_phonet | 09:28 |
alec_ | already done | 09:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, you said you were able to flash COMBINED/rootfs first time. second time it works exactly same way | 09:30 |
alec_ | yep... =( | 09:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | remove battery, start flasher, plug in USB, hold U while insterting battery | 09:30 |
alec_ | ok | 09:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's always the same procedure. three times | 09:31 |
alec_ | that did it | 09:31 |
alec_ | ok | 09:31 |
alec_ | thanks =) | 09:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | exactly as described in troubleshooting section, bullet 6:"If you cannot establish..." | 09:31 |
* alec_ slaps forehead | 09:32 | |

alec_ | i think the instruction about not installing the libusb0.1-4 from repositories on debian/ubuntu should be removed | 09:49 |
alec_ | i did it, and it worked fine | 09:49 |
alec_ | why should the instructions recommend installing it from repos on opensuse but not debian/ubuntu? | 09:49 |
* alec_ will edit it later perhaps | 09:50 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | if it been added it had a reason. If it worked for you, fine. Don't conclude from that that the instruction is incorrect | 09:51 |
alec_ | good point | 09:52 |
*** Venusaur has quit IRC | 09:52 | |
alec_ | would be good to add a note that libusb0.1-4 from ubuntu repos worked though maybe? | 09:52 |
thedead1440 | maybe you can add that it worked on your specific version of Ubuntu | 09:53 |
alec_ | good idea | 09:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | tbh I don't know who added it, and I would need to check that first | 09:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | generally this whole instruction is so cluttered with unstructured sidenotes and whatnot that it almost becomes uselsss | 09:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the whole shitty page would need a major cleanup | 09:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | by somebody who knows exactly what (s)he's doing | 09:55 |
*** Aoyagi_joytop has joined #maemo | 09:55 | |
thedead1440 | indeed and the lack of spacing in many wiki articles may put off people from reading it altogether | 09:55 |
*** eMHa__ has quit IRC | 09:56 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | I suggest setting up two new wiki pages: "flashing N900 - the foolproof clumsy way. Revised" and "flashing N900 - the smart expert way. Revised" | 09:58 |
*** edheldil has joined #maemo | 09:58 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | and referencing in current page to those two pages. keep them clean and terse, and instead of cluttering them with hints and sidenotes like patching flasher and which libusb to install, just add "troubleshooting and annotations: see $mainpage" | 10:00 |

Macer | my synology gives me the same errors and for the life of me i couldnt figure it out | 11:46 |
Macer | i wound up just building ssl | 11:46 |
Macer | which is no fun on an armv5 with 128MB | 11:46 |
Macer | then building against that | 11:46 |
Macer | and in order to preserve the original stuff | 11:47 |
Macer | build against it static | 11:47 |

* alec_ installs backupmenu anyway | 11:53 | |
alec_ | ahh | 11:53 |
alec_ | yeah | 11:53 |
Macer | dont worry about it | 11:53 |
alec_ | ok | 11:53 |
alec_ | thanks | 11:53 |
Macer | so long as you dont experiment | 11:54 |
Macer | without knowing what youre doing | 11:54 |
alec_ | yeah | 11:54 |
alec_ | i saw a youtube video of someone redirecting power to the fm transmitter so as to get it working properly | 11:54 |
alec_ | that does seem useful | 11:54 |
alec_ | i tested it on a nearby radio and it was quite staticky | 11:55 |
Macer | i wouldnt try it myself heh | 11:55 |
Macer | yah. mine always was too | 11:55 |
Macer | there is an fmboost app | 11:55 |
Macer | thatg bumps the power up a bit | 11:55 |

alec_ | http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/66533/install-a-deb-completely-by-hand | 12:36 |
ampharos | and really, gnome 2 is incredibly overrated | 12:36 |
alec_ | knowing how to do that would also lead to some nice hacks =) | 12:36 |
ampharos | (or --force it) | 12:37 |
ampharos | gnome 2 was nothing especial | 12:37 |
ampharos | it was really mediocre | 12:37 |

ampharos | (i have a nokia c3 around here - if my N900 ever breaks the C3 will become a battery charger) | 13:20 |

Macer | lol | 13:20 |
logo123 | Yes, Phone flashes red when it's charging | 13:21 |
teotwaki | red? | 13:21 |

logo123 | Yeah | 13:21 |
ampharos | red or orange? | 13:21 |
logo123 | red | 13:21 |

logo123 | If I take the battery out it flashes orange | 13:22 |
logo123 | Once I put the battery back in it flashes red | 13:22 |

logo123 | And it started charging the n900 | 13:26 |

m4rku5 | Hi, I think my N900 bricked; when turning it back on I see the NOKIA logo, then backlight goes down (not completely off) and a minute later the nokia logo disappears (and the device seems to be off again or something) - any ideas? | 16:24 |

mhoye | Replace the battery? | 16:29 |
m4rku5 | the battery was fully charged and yesterday it was still doing a few hours | 16:32 |
phr3akDom | what about reflash? | 16:32 |
kerio | well, try charging it | 16:32 |
m4rku5 | hmm now I see dots again | 16:32 |
m4rku5 | wtf | 16:32 |
m4rku5 | and it asks for my pin | 16:32 |
m4rku5 | hmm strange after asking me for the usb mode it made a strange sound and went off again; could that really be the battery? | 16:35 |

m4rku5 | I ordered a new battery | 16:46 |
eccerr0r | this charging thing is annoying, my AC10C would only charge at 500mA tops, both my regular CA-101 cables would only do 400mA max or so; my CA-101D would do full current as well as this $1 dollar tree microusb cable... | 16:46 |
eccerr0r | I'm worried about the dollar tree cable ripping out my microusb port though :( | 16:47 |
m4rku5 | hmm it doesn't want to charge off my USB port, the nokia charger works | 16:51 |
m4rku5 | but it was instantly telling me low battery | 16:52 |

FlameReaper | probably as a proof of concept or maybe just another interesting "hack" of the N900 | 17:24 |

*** rm_work|away is now known as rm_work | 17:26 | |

ampharos | you're better off using VNC though, I don't think the TS does anything more than points | 17:27 |
FlameReaper | ampharos: the idea is to write an app | 17:28 |
ampharos | the touchscreen as I said isn't that advanced | 17:28 |

r00t^home | so, will this affect my warranty? http://www.constancy.org/~r00t/n900_usb_gone.jpg | 18:35 |
amospalla | why do you think that? | 18:36 |
amospalla | that's like changing the battery | 18:37 |
r00t^home | sadly three of the five solder pads are gone... | 18:37 |
r00t^home | can't tell if they got ripped off before, or if i killed them when i resorted to desoldering the connector | 18:37 |
r00t^home | (previous attempts to carefully resolder the pins did not help) | 18:38 |
* eccerr0r cringes... and ups the priority of doing preventative surgery on his n900... | 18:39 | |
*** zeq has quit IRC | 18:40 | |
amospalla | :'( | 18:41 |
r00t^home | i don't see much an amateur could do in terms of prevendive surgery... after just trying surgery to fix it... | 18:41 |
r00t^home | risk of damaging something is pretty high | 18:42 |
amospalla | I'm afraid of doing that preventive soldery on my n900, and I'm afraid it will some day break | 18:42 |
eccerr0r | yeah me too but having the port break is the worse of the two for me... | 18:43 |
r00t^home | it's not THAT big of a deal really... the port has been broken for months on that phone... i only tore it apart now because it stopped booting and i'd need the usb for re-flashing | 18:43 |
r00t^home | also, there are solder pads for usb on the debug port, so next i'll try hooking up those | 18:43 |
eccerr0r | I *want* the USB to work for charging, was the whole reason why I got the n900. My Nokia 5230 stopped charging through its 2mm port, and that got annoying :( | 18:44 |
r00t^home | luxury! | 18:45 |
eccerr0r | I wonder if there's enough space in the 5230 so that I could jury-rig a LDO to charge the battery through the microusb... | 18:45 |
eccerr0r | yes, I could have bought a new nexus4 but opted for the X11 phone... | 18:45 |
r00t^home | what's broken about the 2mm anyway? | 18:46 |
r00t^home | the connector or the charging circuitry? | 18:46 |
eccerr0r | charging circuitry | 18:46 |
r00t^home | ah | 18:47 |
r00t^home | sucks | 18:47 |
eccerr0r | I was playing with trying to make my own fast charger because only the original charger I had charged fast... I think I shorted the input and reverse discharge happened (??) and destroyed the charger circuit somehow | 18:47 |

eccerr0r | that's what I thought. | 18:48 |
eccerr0r | but nevertheless it will no longer charge. | 18:48 |
*** NIN101 has joined #maemo | 18:49 | |
eccerr0r | however the wisdom of "shorting the input shouldn't have any effect" may be incorrect, there have been cases with certain circuit topologies where it could cause issues. Whether it should apply to the 5230, I don't know. | 18:49 |
*** disco_stu has joined #maemo | 18:51 | |
m4rku5 | so which browser do you guys use? | 18:53 |
ShadowJK | 2mm charging system is kinda special | 18:54 |
r00t^home | microb | 18:54 |
m4rku5 | I have microb + opera mini, because well it seems to be the only recent version of a browser for the n900 | 18:55 |
r00t^home | fennec ;) | 18:55 |
ShadowJK | It wont accept most "normal" powersupplies as input.. it needs a powersupply that immediately and gradually lowers its output voltage when approaching 900mA.. also initial voltage must be between about 5.4 and 5.8V | 18:56 |
r00t^home | (if you kill all other applications, enable a swapfile, and cope with the slowness, fennec can be used ;) ) | 18:56 |
m4rku5 | lol :D | 18:56 |
kerio | ShadowJK: surely it's not the power supply that does the output voltage drop | 18:57 |
ShadowJK | yes, it is | 18:57 |
*** konelix has quit IRC | 18:58 | |
ShadowJK | for 2mm system | 18:58 |
ShadowJK | 2mm is "regulated" by switching it on and off. | 18:58 |
ShadowJK | So it pulse charges battery | 18:58 |

eccerr0r | I'm actually using my 2-year old 5230's battery in the n900 now, it still seems to hold charge... | 19:02 |
kerio | eccerr0r: calibrate it with a costant draw | 19:03 |
*** WielkiTost has joined #maemo | 19:03 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | eccerr0r: technically that's kinda over-simplistic to incorrect ((technically all switching supplies are regulated by switching on and off)) | 19:22 |
r00t^home | but rather fast and with a choke filtering out the switching frequency | 19:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | even then you can't call a single transformer cycle "switching on and of the PSU" | 19:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes, some do switch off completely for like 10ms then start again converting at 100+kHz for a variable length of time | 19:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | others actually reduce frequency to the lower values but usually don't stop conversion ever | 19:26 |
DocScrutinizer05 | others change the amount of power stored in transformer during every cycle so do a PWM on constant frequency | 19:27 |

Macer | i doubt that's a problem.. hopefully skype works if it comes down to that | 21:48 |
eccerr0r | yeah i had to throw away a lot of minutes from the switch from at&t to tmobile... | 21:48 |
Macer | att was retarded too because i called her asking how much my contract cancellation was | 21:48 |
Macer | $250.. why? | 21:49 |
Macer | because i want to cancel my bill is too high and i don't even have txting .. even after i went to an lte phone/plan to a 3G one | 21:49 |
Macer | (since i got my e7) | 21:49 |
Macer | oh.. we can do this.. this.. and this.... and give you txting for free for 6 months | 21:49 |
Macer | know how much she saved me a month with all her awesome magic? | 21:50 |
Macer | $10 | 21:50 |
eccerr0r | i do have a fairly expensive tmobile plan now though. | 21:50 |
Macer | i went from 104 .. to 90.. and the only thing she gave me was free txting which they charge $20/month for but costs them like $0.0000001 per month to supply | 21:50 |
eccerr0r | technically should drop the minutes but I tend to abuse the free nights/weekeneds | 21:50 |
eccerr0r | yeah... | 21:50 |
Macer | heh.. like i said.. if i need minutes like that i'll try using skype | 21:51 |
Macer | but then again using skype over tmobile's 3G in chicago... i'm sure i'll get crap servceice | 21:51 |

eccerr0r | my worst month so far, I haven't even hit 2GB data | 21:52 |
eccerr0r | pretty sad, first couple of months I had tmo I was able to hit 800M or so per month, recently I've only done 300M or so... | 21:53 |
