AndrewX192I just had to repair my N900's USB port today, it charges just fine on my computer and HP TouchPad charger, but not on either one of my Nokia chargers, depspite using the same cable - any idea why?08:10
kerioyou either need something with shorted D+/-, which means that the n900 will pull up to 1A, or a proper usb hosts to negotiate the current08:11
AndrewX192What does the stock N900 charger do?08:11
AndrewX192I fixed these points on my connector: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29047266/N900%20Stuff/USB%20Fix/USB%20Weakness.png08:14

louigiguys, I changed my AGPS from supl.nokia.com to supl.google.com13:00
louigiit works now, but the accuracy is not so good13:00
louigiis there any way to improve it?13:00
jacekowskinothing to do with supl data13:00
jacekowskibetter signal13:01
louigijacekowski, ah13:01
louigiwhat is supl data?13:01
louigibefore I changed it to google I did not get ANY gps location13:01
jacekowskiit's data that allows gps to lock faster13:01
jacekowskias in, seconds rather than 15 minutes it takes to download that data from the satellite13:02
jacekowskisupl data basically says where the satellites are and their orbits and other info13:02
jacekowskiand you either download it from internet or from the satellite13:03
jacekowskibut download from satellite takes over 10 minutes13:03
jacekowskihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_to_first_fix13:03
jacekowskibasically with supl data each start is a hot start13:04
Drathirthere is any update of builit in gprs reciver?13:04

Drathirfdisk -l is also inside system if card is not recognised check dmesg if phone see it or not...16:34
Macerkerio: heh16:34
Macerit's ok. i just pulled it out and popped it into another box16:34
Macernow i just have to figure out how to get the cam to not save stuff straight to the home dir :-/16:35
Macerthe videos are being stores blindly... i'm sure there is a setting somewhere16:35
Maceri only had an 8GB SD so i'm going to use that for a while for music16:35
Maceruntil i order a 32GB one for it :)16:36
Drathirinside camera view left down corner if good remember...16:36
MacerDrathir: yeah i'll check it out16:36
Maceri'm sure it can't be too hard to do ... but i did want to save to a specific dir but i'll see about that later16:36
Drathirsecond icon16:36
Macerafter usb storage mode is disconnected does media player get updated?16:37
Drathirok only two choises but you easly if good tink you can symlink directory where you want to save...16:38
Drathirno idea about update, but proppably yes because remount the partition i think but im not sure...16:40

MacerSanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A)16:46
Macerheh16:46
Maceri think 64GB+ is sdxc16:46
Maceri don't think that the xc part is really a speed improvement as it is more so an addressing change to accomidate more space16:47
Maceri mean i'm sure thye will make them go faster but i don't think that is the main purpose of it16:47
Drathiryes true that isnt xc, but anyway looks little strange16:47
Drathirxc isnt backward compatibile if good remember...16:48
Macerno it isn't16:48
Macerbut what i just bought is sdhc ;)16:48
Macerand if it isn't.. i'll jsut send it back heh16:49
Drathiror that sd hc I mean sd hc 1 = class 10 but will be strange description16:49
Drathiroh if can be send back you easy can test if it works or not... if i can please say me it works or not...16:52

Maceryes. i thought it was rather cheap to be honest :)17:02

DrathirDocScrutinizer05: it possible that difference between n900 and other mobile phone will big? sadly i dont have acces to other n900 to compare, but i try ask about cell tower status also...18:59
DocScrutinizer05though probably  "I *would*..." is more to the point of what you want to say19:00
*** piggz has quit IRC19:01
DrathirDocScrutinizer05: was really close ^^19:01
*** piggz has joined #maemo19:01
DocScrutinizer05Drathir: difference between different N900 devices?19:01
DocScrutinizer05ooh, regarding GPRS19:02
DrathirDocScrutinizer05: yes between n900 shouldnt be any difference? im right? and how about compare n900 and necond nokia eg. N80 compared data say something to me?19:03
*** bef0rd has quit IRC19:03
*** bef0rd has joined #maemo19:04
DocScrutinizer05yes, data connectivity shouldn't differ much between N900 and other phone type. And not at all between different N90019:04
DocScrutinizer05take care about GSM antenna though - it's on right small side of N900 (in portrait mode), so you holding device with both hands in usual way to type is covering antenna. This often causes connectivity dropouts when I'm  in an area with poor signal strength19:06
Drathirok i will test and check how it works on other device... on my old rip e51 works perfect all, but that be some time ago, and something could change with cell tower configuration :/19:08
*** bef0rd has quit IRC19:09
DrathirDocScrutinizer05: antenna is on slide side with screen or side with battery place?19:10
DocScrutinizer05the latter19:10
*** NIN101 has quit IRC19:10
DocScrutinizer05(cell tower changes) I noticed carriers actually *reducing* 2G support in favour of 3G support19:11
DocScrutinizer05nfc what's the rationale behind that. Maybe they recycle some of the components of the 2G BTS ;-)19:12
DocScrutinizer05and they might even further reduce 2G support for LTS19:13
*** NIN101 has joined #maemo19:13
DocScrutinizer05this for example could mean that 2G BTS will get reduced in TX power to not interfere with nearby LTS cell19:14
*** GI_Jack has joined #maemo19:14
DocScrutinizer05otoh for RX on same 2G BTS, the nearby LTS cell might cause interference, for same reason19:14
DocScrutinizer05so both uplink and downlink of 2G might see deterioration due to nearby LTS cells get installed19:16

*** sq-one_ has joined #maemo20:29
AndrewX192I think there must still be a part of the connector that is not connected to the board20:29
freemangordonAndrewX192: your laptop is USB host, that's why it charges20:29
DocScrutinizer05AndrewX192: then better don't think ;-)20:29
freemangordonAndrewX192: n900 kernel detects that USB host and starts charging, limiting the current to 500mA20:30
AndrewX192I think the TouchPad charger does some sort of negotation too, because the TouchPad knows if it is being charged with it's original charger too20:30

freemangordonthen it is not "charge only" (the cable)21:00
DocScrutinizer05no, you're wrong21:00

* DocScrutinizer05 headdesks a little bit21:03
ShadowJKA "Charging only" cable with datalines disconnected or absent, is not supposed to work with N900. If you "fix" that on the connector, you'll lose data communication ability21:03
AndrewX192DocScrutinizer05: what are you having problems with21:03
AndrewX192ShadowJK: it doesn't mean they didn't do other things with the connectors - they just ignore the provided data connections on the host side21:04
ShadowJKIt's possible to make a cable like that21:04
ShadowJKBut I've never seen or heard of one existing21:05
DocScrutinizer05exactly21:05
AndrewX192It came with my charger21:05
AndrewX192Let me explain a little more21:05
DocScrutinizer05except that charging/data switchable one21:05
*** FlameReaper-PC has quit IRC21:05
*** FReaper-PC has joined #maemo21:05
AndrewX192The cable is USB to a special end21:05
AndrewX192and there are many different ends (but the connector only has two pins)21:06
AndrewX192so you can have an apple connector, miniusb, microusb, old nokia connector, etc21:06
ShadowJKThen the question is whether the D+ and D- pins are bridged at the connector or not21:06
DocScrutinizer05they're not21:06
DocScrutinizer05for all i've seen so far21:07
DocScrutinizer05I have several similar cables here21:07
DocScrutinizer05none of then has D+- short21:07
DocScrutinizer05it's a not commonly supported charger signalling method21:07
*** BigBox___ has quit IRC21:08
DocScrutinizer05you're mor likely to find the apple usb charger method supported than the d+- short one21:08
AndrewX192N900 is a supported device on this charger21:08
AndrewX192http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-PGMPP8400-External-sensation-Thunderbolt/dp/B0073F92OK21:08
DocScrutinizer05yeah many chargers claim that21:08
DocScrutinizer05since the micro usb plug fits21:09
AndrewX192well this one must be different21:09
Drathirfreemangordon: DocScrutinizer05 could you share any data about that solar chargers?21:09
AndrewX192Either way, I don't see a reason to worry about that part - I'm pretty sure I just need to fix my connector a bit more21:09
AndrewX192But I'm not sure what part of the connector I need to work on21:09
AndrewX192If someone here could give me a pointer on that, I can fix it21:09
ShadowJKBefore trying to fix it, i'd test with the proper nokia wallcharger to see if that works, if it does, and if data transfer to pc works, then I'd conclude that the usb port is fine21:10
DocScrutinizer05the problem is, we can't give such pointer21:10
*** sq-one has quit IRC21:10
ShadowJKBut right now you're dealing with two unknowns, you don't know what your chargers do, and you don't know the status of your N900 usb port21:10
* kerio gives NULL21:10
keriothat's a pointer21:10
keriobut don't follow it21:11
ShadowJKexcept if your brain is running hpux21:11
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: don't forget cables21:11
AndrewX192no21:11
ShadowJKright21:11
ShadowJKcharger + cables unknown21:11
AndrewX192I know what's going on with the chargers, cables, etc.. I know which combinations worked before21:12
DocScrutinizer05meh, ok. then from my side you're on your own21:12
AndrewX192The chances of the 3 or so chargers I've tested failing at the same time seems crazy21:12
DocScrutinizer05I won't give the answer you expect me to give, just because you expect it21:12
ShadowJKIt's possible to damage the N900 usb port in such a way, that it will attempt to charge at maximum rate from any powersupply presented (and possibly damage that powersupply or PC usb port)21:13
DocScrutinizer05and you asking for pointers how to fix stuff indicates that you lack the knowledge how to diagnose and fix stuff, no pointer will help21:14
DocScrutinizer05like "my TV stopped working when I slammed the door yesterday. Please give pointer which door to slam at with time of day with which force to fix TV again"21:15
ShadowJKNow if charging and data communication with PC works, then I'd be inclined to think that previously the usb port was damaged in just such a way21:15
AndrewX192I think I've pretty clearly outlined what's going on - though I do not understand the wiring of the USB connector inside the N900, hence I cannot determine what I need to change to fix the the problem21:15
AndrewX192ShadowJK: I have it plugged into my computer again, and data is clearly working21:16
DocScrutinizer05exactly the problem. You think since you don't understand it it must be the point where to fix stuff21:16
ShadowJKRight. The same wires that carry data are used for identifying a charger21:16
ShadowJKDo you have a spare USB extension cord?21:16
AndrewX192Yes, I have several21:17
ShadowJKlike one that plugs into a PC, and has a outlet same size and shape as a PC usb port?21:17
AndrewX192yep, I have that21:17
ShadowJKAnd does your charger have that port too?21:17
DocScrutinizer05[2013-04-13 19:30:56] <DocScrutinizer05> for that to work it needs all 4 relevant / used pins/lines of USB21:18
DocScrutinizer05there *are* only 4 used lines on USB21:18
DocScrutinizer05all 4 are needed for making data connection to PC21:18
AndrewX192ShadowJK: The TouchPad and N9 charges do, as does the portable battery one21:19
*** NeutrinoPower has quit IRC21:19
DocScrutinizer05DAMN! they use completely different signalling21:19
AndrewX192DocScrutinizer05: well then, that leads to conflicting evidence21:19
ShadowJKAndrewX192, so if you want to sacrifice an extension cord, strip the outer sheath away from a few cm of the cable, so that you can see the 4 wires (red, white, green, black). The white and green could be some other colours, but red will be red and black will be black. Cut the white and green in the middle of the area without sheath, wrap tape on the ends that come from the PC side. On the other ends, strip the white and green insulation off to expose enou21:21
ShadowJKgh of the copper wires so that you can twist them together.21:21
ShadowJKYou've now got a "force charger detect" adapter cable21:21
DocScrutinizer05N900 is supposed to charge with 100mA when no working dataline with short on it or PC on other end of datalines21:22
ShadowJKThough if you mess any of it up, you'll have a "zap PC and/or N900, or set things on fire"-cable :)21:22
*** BigBoxDr_ has joined #maemo21:22
ShadowJKAnother option is that the PHY is damaged and can't do charger detect, but I'd think it'd be highly unlikely that data would be still working?21:22
ShadowJK(as for the original problem)21:22
*** eMHa_ has joined #maemo21:22
DocScrutinizer05your chargers "formerly working" might in fact have worked for 100mA when your USB been broken, while now they cut out on overcurrent with the 1000mA that N900 can pull with fixed USB21:23
*** nox- has joined #maemo21:23
AndrewX192If they were only using 100mA, then the device wouldn't have charged with everything I had running21:24
Drathirits possible that n900 cutting out when detect shortcut, when charging connected ?21:24
AndrewX192(I assume that's what you mean - that before they only worked at 100mA)21:24
DocScrutinizer05yep21:25
AndrewX192yeah, cellular internet + radio stream and remote desktop would use a lot more power than that21:25
kerioespecially because musb_core uses 80mA21:26
DocScrutinizer05anyway trying to "fix" suspected to be broken stuff on your N900 USB without proper prior diagnose will most like damage more than it fixes21:26
DocScrutinizer05kerio: only when D+- short?21:26
DocScrutinizer05only on stock kernel later than PR1.2?21:27
kerioi thought it was when D+- wasn't shorted21:27

DocScrutinizer05diagnose using dmesg and cat /sys/some/node/charger and /sys/some/othernode/vbus is the right way to approach this problem. Also use t known-good original Nokia USB charger meant for N900, or even a spare one when you have *any* suspicion that your primary one might be broken in whatever starneg way21:31
AndrewX192 /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/charger for the first21:32
DocScrutinizer05s/starneg/strange/21:33

AndrewX192there are two for the second: /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/vbus & /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/1-0048/twl4030_usb/vbus21:33
DocScrutinizer05night be identical21:33
DocScrutinizer05might21:33
DocScrutinizer05both should indicate 5V on the vbus pin of USB21:34
AndrewX192maybe. they aren't represented as a symlink21:34
DocScrutinizer05charger should indicate D+- short detected21:34
DocScrutinizer05 /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/1-0048/twl4030_usb/vbus is the one21:35
tanagoHey guys, which process should I restart so I wouldnt need a restart after applying changes to gdigicam.conf ?21:35
AndrewX192charger=0,vbus=1 on laptop21:35
*** BigBoxDr_ has quit IRC21:35
DocScrutinizer05watch cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/1-0048/twl4030_usb/vbus /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/charger21:36
DocScrutinizer05that's absolutely correct, since charger=0 means no D+- short which wouldn't work too good for data transfer to PC21:37
AndrewX192charger=1,vbus=1 on HP TouchPad charger21:37
AndrewX192hahaha, now it charges off of the nokia charger. WTF21:38
AndrewX192charger=1,vbus=1 on nokia N900 stock charger21:38
DocScrutinizer05watch --interval=0,2 cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/1-0048/twl4030_usb/vbus /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/charger21:38
DocScrutinizer05charger=1,vbus=1 on nokia N900 stock charger is correct21:38
DocScrutinizer05and implies all used 4 pins of N900 USB are ok21:39
AndrewX192DocScrutinizer05: looks like busybox watch doesn't support time intervals of less than a second21:39
DocScrutinizer05maybe21:39
AndrewX192I was doing -n 1 anyways21:39
DocScrutinizer05or try a . instead of ,21:40
DocScrutinizer05might be related to your locale21:40
DocScrutinizer05nm21:40
DocScrutinizer05IroN900:~# watch --version21:40
DocScrutinizer050.2.021:40
AndrewX192I did 0.2 to start with21:40
DocScrutinizer05IroN900:~# busybox watch --version21:41
DocScrutinizer05watch: unrecognized option `--version'21:41
AndrewX192lol21:41
AndrewX192forget it21:41
AndrewX192the real version is in procps-ng21:41
*** livelace has joined #maemo21:42
DocScrutinizer05yep, probably21:42
DocScrutinizer05procps - /proc file system utilities21:42
AndrewX192hmm, okay21:43
DocScrutinizer05I got that installed21:43
AndrewX192so after a little while it gave up on charging, now charger=0,vbus=021:43
AndrewX192sometimes charger=1,vbus=021:43
DocScrutinizer05but it's not exactly recommended21:43
DocScrutinizer05that would mean your 5V has interruptions21:43
DocScrutinizer05which could mean a lot of things21:44
DocScrutinizer05either your USB port is actually broken, and you need to maybe resolder the Vbus pin, or replace the whole port component21:45
AndrewX192putting light pressure on the connector made charger=1,vbus=021:45
DocScrutinizer05or your cable is broken21:45
DocScrutinizer05or your charger is broken21:45
*** rcg has joined #maemo21:45
DocScrutinizer05the 4 used and one unused pin of USB port are at the backside. Hard to reach them, easy to short two pins while resoldering them21:46
DocScrutinizer05~usbfix21:46
infoboti guess usbfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater)21:46
DocScrutinizer05http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=547991&postcount=2021:47
AndrewX192what's on the side of the connectors? just holding the connector in?21:48
DocScrutinizer05http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=870017&postcount=2721:48
DocScrutinizer05yep21:48
DocScrutinizer05mechanical posts21:49
DocScrutinizer05on both sides21:49
DocScrutinizer05see attachment of last URL above21:49
DocScrutinizer05for the real electrical pins21:49
AndrewX192Yeah, I'm looking at it now, that helps a lot21:49
*** stef_204 has joined #maemo21:50
AndrewX192okay, I'm not sure what to think then21:50
AndrewX192somehow all four have contact when I connect to my computer21:50
DocScrutinizer05http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb#Physical_appearance21:51
DocScrutinizer05for which pin is what21:52
DocScrutinizer05either your USB receptacle is broken and only makes contact on lucky minutes21:52
DocScrutinizer05or when you slightly push it in the right direction21:53
DocScrutinizer05or same applies to one or more of your cables' plugs21:53
AndrewX192yeah, but I don't have dmesg spam on my laptop about my n900 being connected and disconnected, and it charges21:53
DocScrutinizer05that would mean it's the cable to charger that's broken21:54
AndrewX192I'm going to stop using that charger and test all my usb cables21:54
DocScrutinizer05[2013-04-13 20:45:06] <AndrewX192> putting light pressure on the connector made charger=1,vbus=021:55
DocScrutinizer05if you put pressure in opposite direction while on PC, does it still work?21:55
AndrewX192Yes, it seems to work despite all sorts of movements21:57
DocScrutinizer05when you got your device disassembled, have a *close* look to the USB component's 5 pins, with a magnifying glass21:57
DocScrutinizer05odds are you'll see any broken solderpoint there21:57
DocScrutinizer05if there is any21:57
AndrewX192got a microscope for this kinda stuff at the university21:58
AndrewX192I'll see about it next time I go in, for now I'll have to stick with the computer charger21:59
