FIQDocScrutinizer05: you remember my old battery issue I had last month or something like that?06:31
*** maybeArgh has quit IRC06:31
FIQI think I might know what caused it in first place06:31
FIQthese springs that are used to keep the battery safe in place06:32
FIQthey kinda "scrape" the battery each time I insert it06:32
FIQis it possible that this could have caused damage to the top part of the battery, progressively increasing it to the point that inserting it causes visible sparks?06:33
*** maybeArgh has joined #maemo06:33
FIQI'm a bit concerned about my other (still working) batteries if this is the case06:34
FIQif I can somehow minimize that damage06:34

DocScrutinizer05FIQ: there are spring latches at bottom of battery (bay) only, none on top12:09
*** drawkula has joined #maemo12:10
DocScrutinizer05it's hard to believe those spring latches could grind through the ~1mm black plastic at bottom of battery. It's actaully impossible that this happens in a way you couldn't easily detect optically and tactile12:11
*** aap has quit IRC12:13
ShadowJKit sparked at bottom of battery?12:17
DocScrutinizer05FIQ: btw those latches are polished shiny smooth steel in my device. No idea how they could grind trougj plastic12:17
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: that's what FIQ reported, yes12:17
ShadowJKOh he mentioned top part though?12:18
DocScrutinizer05iirc12:18
ShadowJKI assumed he meant part with terminals12:18
DocScrutinizer05I think that's lost-in-translation12:18
*** arcean has joined #maemo12:21
ShadowJKWhat kind and size of spark anyway12:24
*** Timmy has joined #maemo12:24
DocScrutinizer05singulary event, not clearly and closely observed12:27
DocScrutinizer05but reported to have been happened before12:27
DocScrutinizer05I can't recall any better searchterms for chanlog than "spark" and maybe "explode"12:30

DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: clearly FIQ says "at the end of battery without contacts, where the hologram is"12:38
*** aap has joined #maemo12:44
xes'morning12:45
ShadowJKI'd suspect static discharge then12:45
DocScrutinizer05moinmoin xes12:45
ShadowJKThere's label, plastic caswe, and lipo pouch to wear through. seems unlikely12:45
xesit seems that sometimes my devices boots up in a wrong way generating errors that no one reported so far... Mmm it's not a good thing..12:47
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: hardly, since a) capacity of the battery to global ground doesn't suffice  and b) when there could be any discharge spark at bottom end, then the contacts at top end already discharged any static charge between N900 and battery12:47
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: and c) any such static would already discharge via human as conductor, touching both the phone and the battery12:49
DocScrutinizer05when it can't discharge that way, it definitely won't *at bottom* of battery to the spring latches12:49
xesif someone else is experiencing strange audio problems and syslog errors like: "mafw-dbus-wrapper[1842]: dspvdec89: couldn't allocate buffer: wrong-state"     "mafw-dbus-wrapper[1842]: dspvdec66: couldn't allocate buffer: not-linked"      Only poweroff  and battery removed seems to cure this..12:51
DocScrutinizer05my instant thought been that the small anode of the cell is at bottom of battery and the wire used to conect it to top of battery might have a short to the large anode aka containment, or a break that sparks when getting opened/closed12:52
DocScrutinizer05xes: CSSU?12:52
DocScrutinizer05KP?12:52
xesboth12:53
DocScrutinizer05ask pali and fmg. I'm pretty sure they had problems with some stuff not allocating correct amount/addr of static RAM for video decoding (done by DSP)12:54
DocScrutinizer05dspvdev sounds like DSP Video DECoding, and buffer == RAM, needs allocation during DSP driver init12:55
xesit seems a rare dsp instability. This happens on boot and then stays there until battery removed. What i obtain is no notification and call's audio redirected to the speaker (without the possibility to switch)12:55
xeswhile video and mp3 playback are working fine12:56
DocScrutinizer05o.O12:56
DocScrutinizer05maybe some similar problem12:56
DocScrutinizer05anyway buffers for DSP need to be contiguous and on a static addr12:56
DocScrutinizer05sometimes it seems I recall there's no sufficiently large contiguous chunk of RAM available12:57
xesprobably some issue initializing dsp on boot12:57
DocScrutinizer05yes12:57
*** lizardo has joined #maemo12:58
DocScrutinizer05iirc Pali also di some quite suspicious messjg around with PA buffer sizes12:58
DocScrutinizer05messing*12:58
DocScrutinizer05sth like changing chunk size from 4k to 64k or sth12:58
DocScrutinizer05I got maximum nervous when hearing about that12:59
xesbtw, i have saved the syslog of the wrong boot maybe it could help12:59
DocScrutinizer05:nod:12:59
DocScrutinizer05try a sort and diff, to another sane bootlog13:00
DocScrutinizer05if there are any now error msgs showing up13:00
DocScrutinizer05new*13:00
DocScrutinizer05some sed cmds to kick out variable stuff like timestamps might help13:01
*** Venemo has joined #maemo13:02
DocScrutinizer05also a uniq after the sed and sort13:02
xesDocScrutinizer05: just done. Please could you grep your syslog by "dspvdec0"?13:03
ShadowJKanode/cathode is multilayer sandwich surely.. though I forget if the pouch is positive or negative13:03
DocScrutinizer05will do13:03

DocScrutinizer05btw this .prf is a nice example to give the wider public an idea how many 10000s of pages a complete doc for a device like N(eo)900 need careful scrutinization and a single line or even word you don't notice in there can break your neck13:20

*** croppa has quit IRC13:24
r00t^homei had the bottom plastic simply fall out of the bottom of a few of my (bl-5j) batteries... but the only problem it causes is that there's not enough spring pressure and the contact becomes unreliable... so i just taped a pice of cardboard onto the bottom to fix it13:39

FIQmy old battery that this happened to had been used for around 4 years, and hundreds of battery swaps19:35
FIQthe black shielding (or whatever it was) was worn off, the silver thing behind it slightly as well, nothing had happened to the white below *that* though19:36

DocScrutinizer05EEEEEK!19:38
DocScrutinizer05didn't it occur to you that the "silver thing" is a conductor that shorts the battery to the metal of the latches?19:39
DocScrutinizer05OMG19:40
DocScrutinizer05I just can't think of any way on earth how to grind through a massive 1mm of black PVC or whatever plastic that is, with a metal latch that's as smooth and shiny as a mirror19:41
DocScrutinizer05not with 100000 battery insers/removals19:42
FIQ<DocScrutinizer05> didn't it occur to you that the "silver thing" is a conductor that shorts the battery to the metal of the latches?19:43
FIQno, because I asked about this previously last year or so19:43
DocScrutinizer05yes, that's what i just posted19:43
FIQand then someone replied that there was no problem19:44
FIQ(this was way before sparks started to appear etc)19:44
DocScrutinizer05what can I say? I fail to find an analogy that wouldn't sound harsh19:45
FIQwell19:46
FIQI was concerned about when there was damage in first place already19:46
FIQthat's why I asked here about it19:46
FIQI guess there was mis-understandings, or that the one that replied was wrong19:46
DocScrutinizer05I just can't think of any way on earth how to grind through a massive 1mm of black PVC or whatever plastic that is, with a metal latch that's as smooth and shiny as a mirror19:46
*** shentey has joined #maemo19:47
FIQDocScrutinizer05: well, I don't know of any other way it could have happened19:48
FIQbut I just opened and checked the latches... they are indeed not sharp at all19:48
DocScrutinizer05if you bought that battery used, from a scum who didn't tell you that the plastic bottom of the battery fell off. And when you never ever seen an intact battery elsewhere....19:48
*** zGrr has quit IRC19:49
DocScrutinizer05there's hardly a way I could figure how you wouldn't notice such *massive* damage to your battery and start wondering if it might already explode right into your face19:49
*** Aggese is now known as Agge19:50
DocScrutinizer05but you told you have several batteries, no?19:50
FIQyes19:51
FIQboth my other batteries are fully intact19:51
DocScrutinizer05so I think you should notice when one of them had 1+mm deep huge dents19:51
FIQand, as I said, I already asked about the previous (damaged) battery, but as I said, was told that it was "usual" and "not worth worrying about"19:51
DocScrutinizer05what was usual??? that a battery has a hole in it?19:52
FIQno... that the plastic had droppen off19:52
DocScrutinizer05OMG!19:53
FIQ<r00t^home> i had the bottom plastic simply fall out of the bottom of a few of my (bl-5j) batteries... but the only problem it causes is that there's not enough spring pressure and the contact becomes unreliable... so i just taped a pice of cardboard onto the bottom to fix it19:53
FIQ^ seems it happened him too19:53
DocScrutinizer05seems he's pretty ignorant about what's electricity and how it works19:53
FIQ(he commented in here earlier today)19:53
DocScrutinizer05"hey, that power cable on my vacuum cleane rhas meters where the copper is exposed. Only probelm I ever seen is that it doesn't roll up into the device automatically, at least not that smoothly"19:55
DocScrutinizer05and yeah, a piece of cardboard works for isolating electricity19:57
DocScrutinizer05maybe not as good as plastic, but doesn't mean that the battery is fine to operate without any such isolation to avoid shorts19:57

DocScrutinizer05"hey, that power cable on my vacuum cleane rhas meters where the copper is exposed. Only probelm I ever seen is that it doesn't roll up into the device automatically, at least not that smoothly" --- "thus I took some scotch tape and wrapped it around that copper. Nothing you need to worry about, really!" ;-P19:58
FIQDocScrutinizer05: well, I don't know that much about a battery's internal structure - hence why I've always asked in here about my earlier problems19:59
DocScrutinizer05"I **never** had any problem with it"19:59
*** andre__ has quit IRC19:59
DocScrutinizer05you however *never* mentioned that the plastic is missing19:59
FIQyes I did19:59
DocScrutinizer05uhuh20:00
FIQway ago in here20:00
FIQ<FIQ> and, as I said, I already asked about the previous (damaged) battery, but as I said, was told that it was "usual" and "not worth worrying about"20:00
FIQthus I didn't even mention it20:00
FIQregarding sparks20:00
DocScrutinizer05*shrug*20:00
DocScrutinizer05sorry I can't help20:00
FIQI'm a bit concerned if I exposed myself to severe danger, but I don't think I could have done it better with my limited knowledge20:01
*** geaaru has quit IRC20:02
DocScrutinizer05I'm out, I dunno how to handle such incident/problem20:02
FIQwell, currently I don't own any damaged batteries20:03
FIQI'm sorry if I made you concerned about my sanity20:03
