Luke-Jrjonwil: I do have an extra N900 that I may be willing to part with as soon as I get a Pyra.10:01
jonwilPyra is?10:01
jonwilI am not yet convinced my phone is beyond hope of recovery10:01
Luke-Jrjonwil: Pyra is clamshell OMAP 5 w/ 2 GB RAM, 4G, etc http://www.pyra-handheld.com/10:04

*** rd_ has quit IRC10:39
jonwilAt least I have basically all the stuff I needed to restore after my reflash earlier back where I need it10:47
Maxdamantusjonwil: if you're always getting into the act-dead state, maybe simply removing the special behaviour for that condition in the relevant init script could help?10:57
jonwilI dont think its even getting to act-dead state, its nolo going into nolo-emergency-charge state10:57
jonwilwhich is what it normally does first thing it powers up with a cable connected10:58
* Maxdamantus disabled that check on his phone, because it was also the part that decided to shut the phone down again if the poweron wasn't due to pressing the power button or something.10:58
MaxdamantusAh.10:58
jonwilRight now I am running another "lets empty the phone battery" learn pass because I think bq27200 chip may still not have proper rated capacity of battery11:00
jonwilSo once this thing drains to empty I will know for sure if 1446mAh is actually the maximum capacity of the battery or not11:01
keriooh, i should do a calibration run myself11:05
*** freemangordon has joined #maemo11:07
* jonwil found a nice solitare game for the N900 :)11:12
bencohjonwil: does it work now?11:20
*** jonwil has quit IRC11:22
*** jonwil has joined #maemo11:22
jonwilwhat is it with the general instability of freenode as of late...11:23
sixwheeledbeasthmm I agree, prolly some DoS attack11:24
*** Roth has quit IRC11:26
sixwheeledbeastjonwil: have you solved your N900 mystery?11:28
jonwilnope, its still acting weird unfortunately :*11:28
jonwil:(11:28
bencoh:/11:29
*** KotCzarny has joined #maemo11:29
sixwheeledbeastIt did originally sound like a faulty battery but as you say that flag doesn't seem right.11:29
*** _rd has joined #maemo11:31
jonwilAnyhow, right now I am going to let this battery drain to auto-power-off then see what happens when I plug it in11:31
jonwilsee what bq27200.sh then thinks the capacity is11:34
bencohyou dont run stock bme, do you?11:35
jonwilI do, why?11:35
jonwilstock bme, stock kernel11:35
jonwilstock nolo obviously11:36
sixwheeledbeastmy /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/charger certainly works as expected 1 for charger connected.11:36
jonwiland 0 for disconnected charger?11:36
bencohyou'll probably have to turn it off if you want to go through a full discharge/calib cycle11:36
jonwilEssentially the main wtf with this problem is the way nolo starts up, sees that part of the circuitry says "hey, charger connected" and starts in nolo-special-charging-mode before seeing from another part of the circuitry "hey, no juice is comming from the USB port" and shutting down11:42
sixwheeledbeastjonwil: yes 0 for disconnected11:42
bencohjonwil: everything "works" if you plug usb in?11:44
jonwilIf I plug in USB or charger, the phone goes into nolo-special-charging-mode which then says "hey, enough charge in the battery to boot kernel"11:45
jonwiland that then boots into actdead11:45
jonwiland of course from there if I press power it goes into full boot11:45
bencohand what if you remove usb once booted?11:45
jonwilIf I remove usb, charging light stays going (full green or flashing orange as appropriate)11:46
bencohand /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/charger shows 1?11:46
jonwilyes11:46
jonwilit does show 111:46
bencohhmmm11:46
sixwheeledbeasthow about /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode ?11:50
jonwilright now it shows b_idle because its not connected to anything and charger is somehow at 011:51
jonwilbut when its in the bogus "thinks its charging but isn't" mode I dont know11:52
sixwheeledbeastshould be idle on charger and peripheral on USB11:52
*** _rd has quit IRC11:53
jonwilso b_idle is correct for "nothing plugged in"?11:53
jonwiloh and how do I disable BME if I wanted to do that (for my discharge/calib cycle)11:55
jonwilright now I have VDQ at 111:55
jonwilso its properly learning11:56
*** _rd has joined #maemo11:57
bencohas simple as "stop bme" afair11:57
sixwheeledbeastjonwil: yes idle on both charger and nothing here11:59
jonwilas long as I dont go anywhere where I need to power my phone off and then turn it back on later (and where I wont have power available to turn it back on) for the short term at least it does work.12:04
jonwilThe bad thing is that I will be flying on an airplane in a few weeks12:04
jonwiland airplanes are one of those few places where you actually need to turn the phone off rather than just having it on silent/non-distracting (like you would at, say, a movie theater)12:05
sixwheeledbeastairplane mode?12:06
jonwilnot sure airplane mode is allowed during takeoff and landing12:07
sixwheeledbeastI don't see why not, that's the point of it surely. I was under the impression it's best to have your device on.12:08
jonwilanyhow its not for weeks yet, anything can happen12:08
jonwilmaybe I fix my phone12:08
jonwilmaybe I get a new N900 somehow12:08
sixwheeledbeastThis is so airport don't thing you are using it to smuggle something nasty on.12:08
sixwheeledbeasts/thing/think/12:09
infobotsixwheeledbeast meant: This is so airport don't think you are using it to smuggle something nasty on.12:09
jonwilthis is Australia and its a domestic flight12:09
jonwilthe rules are different12:09
jonwilalthough last time I flew, I had the phone on when I went through security (not that anyone cared) and turned it off before boarding12:10
sixwheeledbeast:nod:12:10
sixwheeledbeastI can understand domestic would be different over there.12:11
*** Ashley` has quit IRC12:11
jonwilthey even largely did away with the checkin desks12:12
jonwilyou walk up to a kiosk, enter in your booking number etc and it spits out a boarding pass and bag tags12:12
jonwilyou then put the tags on your luggage and take it to a bag-drop station12:12
jonwilthat reads the bag tag, weighs the bag and sends it into the bowels of the airport somewhere12:13
jonwilhmmm, it looks like my wl1251-cal clone is broken, the mac address of my WiFi card (as set by the wl1251-cal clone) is wrong12:14
sixwheeledbeastWell it's not exactly easy driving from one side to the other so I understand the popularity in domestic flights.12:14
sixwheeledbeastand the requirement to make them less hassle12:15
jonwilThis flight I will be taking is somewhere around 5-6 hours12:16
jonwilthankfully I will be taking some nice books to read :)12:16
jonwilsince the in-flight stuff on the airline I am flying sucks12:16

*** trx has quit IRC12:42
KotCzarnyjonwil, you might try flashing stock and see if it fixes your troubles anyhow12:45
jonwiltried a reflash this morning12:45
jonwilno go12:45
KotCzarnybut i bet on the stuck bits in the battery controller12:45
KotCzarnyor in the usb logic somewhere12:46
KotCzarnyhardware dies sometimes12:46
*** trx has joined #maemo12:46
jonwilI just hope it doesn't die to the point where it becomes unusable anymore and I need a new phone (if I cant get a N900 I would have to buy something crap like a Samsung Galaxy)12:47
jonwilAlthough as long as I live I will never spend a cent of my own money on any products made by companies with pieces of fruit as logos12:48
KotCzarnystart looking for second hand deals12:48
*** xorly has joined #maemo12:49
jonwilwell I dont know for sure the thing is dead yet :)12:49
KotCzarnyyou could use a devel spare, right?12:49
*** corvinux has joined #maemo12:49
KotCzarnyand once (and if) it dies, you will be ready12:49
MaxdamantusJust wrap it in aluminium foil (or tinfoil as I suspect it's also called in Australia).12:51
MaxdamantusThe guys at the scanners will understand.12:51
KotCzarny:)12:51
*** arcean has joined #maemo12:58
freemangordonjonwil: does it make sense to RE Harmattan AEP, instead of Fremantle?12:58
jonwilHave a look and see if the code looks similar enough13:00
freemangordonit looks totally different13:00
freemangordonbut it is supposed to do the same13:00
freemangordonunless I miss something13:00
jonwilIt might not be doing the same thing since all the hardware on N9[50] is different to N90013:01
freemangordonwhat I think is - in Fremantle we have a GP voice audio processing executable (init_main()), of which only a small part is used13:02
freemangordonwhile on Harm we have only the used parts, implemented with some other code13:02
freemangordonwell, IIRC phone functionality was working on Meego DE13:02
jonwilanyhow, its up to you what you want to do13:03
jonwilSee how the parameter files compare between Harmattan and Fremantle13:03
jonwili.e. the stuff that tells eap exactly what to do13:03
freemangordondo we have meego DE parameter files?13:03
freemangordonhmm, I have the image13:04
jonwilhmmm, seems like wl1251-cal clone isn't broken after all, its just acting weird and isn't properly running sometimes13:07
jonwilaha, I see whats going wrong13:10
*** arcean has quit IRC13:10
jonwilor not13:14
*** M4rtinK2 has joined #maemo13:18
*** l_bratch has joined #maemo13:21
jonwilso no I am no closer to figuring out why my wl1251-cal clone sometimes acts weird13:49
KotCzarnymaybe whole device got fried a bit13:50
jonwilnope, stock wl1251-cal works13:50
jonwilso its something werid in my clone13:50
jonwillets just switch back to stock wl1251-cal, I dont need to run my clone reaslly13:50
jonwilI was only running it because hey I cloned it so lets run it :P13:50
jonwilI also note that my clone picked "US" for regulatory domain but stock binary seemed to pick "EU"13:52
jonwilprobably because my clone gets it from cal but stock gets it from somewhere else13:52
jonwilactually I think stock uses mobile network mcc13:52
KotCzarnycould be user settable, but most likely its the one that also sets default device language/region13:53
jonwilthe one in cal is specifically labeled wlan-channel13:54
jonwiland on my phone it says fcc/us13:55
*** Mekkis has joined #maemo13:55
KotCzarnyie. factory chip setting vs firmware region13:55
jonwilmy clone uses the value set in cal (set by factory to fcc/us in my case)13:56
jonwilbut the stock wl1251-cal gets mobile network mcc from cellular modem13:57
jonwilthen uses a list of specific country codes to determine what regulatory domain to use13:57
KotCzarnybut if uses selects for example australia in the welcom screen?13:58
KotCzarnyit gets saved, then used by wl1251-cal?13:58
jonwilnope13:59
jonwilwl1251-cal specifically asks the cellular services daemon for the current mobile country code13:59
jonwiland uses that to ID the wifi reguatory domain13:59
jonwilstock that is14:00
jonwilprobably the correct way to do it since you want the regulatory domain for the country the user is in at that time14:00
jonwilnot some other country14:00
KotCzarnybut if one never enables cellular?14:00
KotCzarnyor modem gets broken?14:01
jonwilI believe it picks "US" by default14:01
jonwilrather than "EU"14:02
*** moodaepo has joined #maemo14:04
*** woodong50 has quit IRC14:05
jonwilthe counties that are considered as "US" by mobile country code seem to be canada, usa, guam, taiwan, brazil, argentina, mexico and colombia14:07
jonwilall the other country codes other than the ones in its hardcoded list will make it pick "E"14:07
jonwil"EU"14:07
jonwiland of course if there are country codes for any of those countries that maemo doesn't know about (USA in particular has a lot of valid country codes) then it will pick EU as well14:08
jonwilbut hey, I decided to stop caring so much and just run stock rather than try and figure out why my clone wont always set mac address correctly14:08
KotCzarny:)14:09

jonwilthe other thing owning a N900 has taught me is just how much I totally SUCK at chess14:22
jonwilEven on easy I get beaten every tim14:22
Wizzuphah14:22
KotCzarny:>14:22
jonwiltime14:22
KotCzarnystill, its better to have challenge14:23
jonwilseems like chess engine is just gnuchess14:24
jonwilthe chess UI is FOSS too which is nice :)14:26
jonwilseems like the sounds and graphics are nokia-closed though (makes sense, nokia probably made those :)14:26
jonwilfreemangordon: I will leave nokia-voice alone until you give me something more I can do on it :)14:28

*** LauRoman has quit IRC19:36
KotCzarnyexpected then19:36
KotCzarny(being chinese)19:36
keriono no it used to be 1.419:36
keriothis battery is legit19:36
KotCzarnyon of the few symptoms is losing capacity faster19:37
keriou shut up19:38
kerio:<19:38
KotCzarnyit wont help your battery19:38
keriothis is the little battery that could19:38
kerioi dunno man i think i'll have to switch to android at some point in the future19:38
KotCzarnyno, this is the bastard made using cheap labor and thrown into the wild19:39
KotCzarnystill, i love my n90019:39
kerioKotCzarny: because nokia batteries are made with organic, free-range chinese labor19:39
kerioright19:39
*** LauRoman has joined #maemo19:40
KotCzarnynope, similar cheap labor, but with better paid workoverseers19:40
KotCzarnyalso known as pen masters19:40
KotCzarnyin another news, oscp effects rock19:41
KotCzarnywould be great to know dsp magic :/19:41
Siceloswitching to android because of battery? :p19:49
KotCzarnyif one just does phoning and not much more, battery life would be deciding factor :P19:50
erlehmanninterestingly enough, i have the impression that android uses battery much faster19:52
KotCzarny:>19:52
erlehmanni can leave my n900 accidentally logged in on IRC the night and it will not discharge19:52
KotCzarnydisplaying ads is no trivial bussiness!19:53
erlehmannahaha19:53
erlehmann:D19:53
KotCzarnyalso perpetual collection of user data19:53
KotCzarnymost 'free' aps on droid just suck ads all the time19:53
KotCzarnywhich results in bettery drain19:54
KotCzarnymost likely with wifi/data disabled it could get decent battery life19:54
erlehmannah19:54
KotCzarnynow, show me any ads supported app for n90019:57
M4rtinK2I think this is quite overlooked but very important point in favor of Maemo and also Sailfish OS20:01
M4rtinK2no adds20:01
M4rtinK2I sometimes come to contact with Android devices20:01
M4rtinK2and the adds everywhere are disgusting20:01
M4rtinK2not to mention distracting and making the already small screen less usable20:02
KotCzarnywhen i use apps on droid i try to disable all data before20:04
KotCzarnythis usually gets rid of all ads20:05
