KotCzarnyhmm, apparently n900/n8 screen is a dsi type, the same that's on raspberry/banana pi boards12:52
KotCzarnys/screen/screen connection/12:52
KotCzarnywhich also means one could repurpose n900 board with custom dsi screen12:53

jonwilThe gurus at the hackerspace seem to have fixed my phone16:19
jonwilIt now boots again without anything connected to USB jack16:20
KotCzarnyhooray!16:20
KotCzarnydid you also introduce them to n900's fandom too?16:20
jonwilsome of them already recognized how good the N900 is16:20
KotCzarny:)16:21
*** konelix has quit IRC16:21
jonwilsomehow the bq27200 chip has completly lost its memory about battery16:21
KotCzarnynot a big problem16:21
jonwilI will charge it until the light goes green and bq27200.sh says the VDQ is 116:22
jonwilthen I will let it discharge completly and see what it records16:22
KotCzarnywhile at it you mightve replaced batpup with cond16:22
KotCzarnyi meam with cap16:22
jonwildidn't even know about batpup16:23
bencohjonwil: yay :)16:26
bencohjonwil: did they just resolder the usb connector?16:28
jonwilIt involved taking the phone apart, hitting the USB port with a hot air gun and other stuff in an attempt to de-solder the USB connector so it could be replaced16:28
bencohoh, so they replaced it?16:28
jonwiland then discovering the USB connector on my phone is glued in place16:28
KotCzarny:)16:28
jonwiland wasn't going to come off without ruining the phone16:28
jonwilthen we just put it back together16:29
KotCzarnylong story short, glue doesnt help16:29
jonwiland it booted right up without anything plugged in16:29
KotCzarnyprobably previous user hought it would be a good idea16:29
jonwilno, this was a new-from-Nokia N90016:29
KotCzarnyoh16:29
jonwilreplacement for a previous N900 under warranty16:29
jonwilthat previous N900 actually went totally USB busted16:30
jonwilanyhow, there was no way to get the USB port off so it wasn't replaceable and since it was glued down to the point where it wouldn't move, the person looking at it didn't see anything more that could be done other than putting the phone back together16:31
jonwilSo far the only thing that seems weird is that /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mA is showing zero even though bq27200.sh shows 767 in the mA column and charge levels going up16:32
jonwilAnyhow I intend to leave my phone connected to the charger overnight which should mean it has full charge16:34
jonwilthen go from there16:34

*** jonwil has quit IRC17:07
Siceloerlehmann: what features of resistance are nice? (like ... sell it to me)17:10
erlehmannsicelo, after i patched it, it can read feeds. most other "feed readers" cannot.17:11
*** Sicelo009N has joined #maemo17:11
Sicelo:)17:12
erlehmannsicelo, like, try http://news.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/notes/index.xml in your favourite feed reader17:12
erlehmannor http://warumnicht.dieweltistgarnichtso.net/feed.atom17:12
Sicelook. will do. erlehmann: can it read those needing authentication?17:12
erlehmannfirst is a feed that contains both xml and and plain text17:13
erlehmannsecond is a podcast with multiple enclosures17:13
erlehmannwithout my patch, resistance mangles plain text and does not display application/xhtml+xml content17:13
Sicelomeantime, i need to find out why my N900 is busy popping up connection dialog, even though i'm connected to network :(17:14

erlehmannsicelo yeah well it displays all of them after each other.17:37
erlehmannand is trying to load like 400 pictures at once17:37
erlehmannnot sure if we have same standards for "handling just fine"17:38
Sicelocan disable pictures. and yes, i get your point :)17:38

KotCzarnyanother note, banana pi m3 features octacore cortex-a7 with powervr sgx544 (n900 has sgx 530). its a long shot but maybe there will be something worth to snag in the future19:09

AirwaveThis is gonna sound dumb, but I got the tip of a q-tip stuck inside the stylus slot on my N900. Any good ideas on getting it out?20:42
Humpelstilzchenrofl20:42
AirwaveI tried to use the stylus itself to get it out, but that only made it worse.20:42
HumpelstilzchenAirwave: how about some wire20:43
Humpelstilzchenabout 1mm steel20:43
AirwaveI don't have any wire lying around.20:43
Humpelstilzchenpaperclips?20:44
AirwaveThat's not a bad idea. I'll bring one home from work tomorrow.20:44
AirwaveI'm honestly not optimistic though. Every attempt I've made has just gotten it stuck further in there.20:45
AirwaveI don't want to have to get a new one because of some fucking q-tip in the stylus slot.20:45
AirwaveIt's stuck pretty good in there. This was an awful idea.20:46
AirwaveCan't believe I ruined a prime condition N900 over something as stupid as this.20:47
ecc3gDrill bit :D20:48
DocScrutinizer51disassembly is prolly the first choice option20:48
AirwaveWill disassembly get me inside the stylus slot?20:51
sixwheeledbeastCan you get into there with it disassembled?20:51
DocScrutinizer51yes20:51
DocScrutinizer51by removing mainboard the slot is just a bay in plastic case20:52
DocScrutinizer51open to access in full lenth20:53
AirwaveFuck, just kill me now. I thought I was so clever with my idea to use a q-tip to clean the stylus slot.20:54
DocScrutinizer51too hard widdling with wires etc may damage the PCB, so I strongly discourage to do such efforts20:54
DocScrutinizer51Airwave: just the adding that is stuck in there?20:55
DocScrutinizer51wadding20:55
AirwaveYeah.20:56
AirwaveI'll try a paper clip tomorrow, and if it doesn't work I'll just throw the phone out the window.20:56
DocScrutinizer51try a wooden 'meat needle' with rough surface. poke into the wadding with the pinpoint stick and then turn the stick so the wadding gets wound around stich, then carefully pull sticj out. repeat whole procedure until all wadding gone20:58
AirwaveWhat's a meat needle?21:01
DocScrutinizer51if that doesn't work and wadding really is a problem, then consider disassembly which is easy enough so you dont need to throw device outa window21:01
AirwaveAn sewing needle might work if I get it beside the wadding and pull it out like that.21:02
AirwaveA sewing*21:02
DocScrutinizer51Airwave: a wooden pinpointed stick with maybe 2 or 3mm diameter21:02
AirwaveDocScrutinizer51: Do you have a picture of one?21:02
DocScrutinizer51no21:02
AirwaveI'm afraid I don't really understand what you mean.21:03
AirwaveThis is like that episode of The Simpsons where Lisa gets gum in her hair and everyone has some novel idea on how to get it out, and each idea just makes it worse.21:03
DocScrutinizer51honestly, use a long match and carve it pinbpointed, making sure surface is rough enough so wadding will stick to it21:04
AirwaveIt doesn't feel like the wadding will stick to anything though.21:04
DocScrutinizer51it will21:04
sixwheeledbeastI think that's a genius idea, the wadding should grab onto the rough surface of the wood.21:06
DocScrutinizer51try 'drilling' into wadding of another Qtip with a pinpointed rough wodden 'needle', you'll see how the wadding gets stuck and wound arpund the wooden surface21:07
AirwaveI don't know how I'd make a rough wooden needle.21:07
sixwheeledbeastwooden fondue skewer, long match or the like?21:08
AirwaveI've never seen a fondue skewer that wasn't metal.21:11
AirwaveIf I knew how to get or make this wooden needle that you're talking about, it would probably work, but I honestly have no idea how to do so.21:12
KotCzarnyairwave: match + superg;ue21:16
KotCzarnyjust a tiny bit at the tip21:17
AirwaveKotCzarny: I'd have to be REALLY careful to not end up with superglue inside the slot.21:17
KotCzarnyyes, not applying it to the qtip21:17
KotCzarnybut to the thing you will be inserting21:17
AirwaveYeah.21:17
AirwaveEven so, I'd have to be really careful.21:17
KotCzarnyyes21:17
KotCzarnyapart from disassembly its the best option21:18
KotCzarnyi remember that minijack plug broke inside my n80021:18
KotCzarnyused some ard wire and managed to unstuck it21:18
KotCzarnybut this is a bit different21:19
*** buZz has quit IRC21:19
KotCzarnyalso, wtf were you doing to the poor n90021:19
KotCzarny:P21:19
AirwaveTrying to clean the stylus slot.21:19
AirwaveI thought I was so fucking smart using a q-tip.21:19
*** buZz has joined #maemo21:20
*** buZz is now known as Guest7706721:20
KotCzarnyyou can also try using sewing harpoon (whatever it is called)21:20
*** eijk has joined #maemo21:20
*** eijk_ has quit IRC21:21
AirwaveA sewing needle?21:21
KotCzarnythe one with the hook at the end21:21
*** Guest77067 is now known as buZz21:21
AirwaveA hook at the end? I've never seen anything like that.21:22
KotCzarnycrotchet hook?21:22
KotCzarnycrochet21:22
KotCzarnybut it might be too big21:23
AirwaveThat looks smart, if I could find a small, thin one.21:23
KotCzarnyyou may also try to make a hook on the wire21:24
AirwaveI'll try to pick up a crochet hook tomorrow together with a sewing needle, a match, and some superglue.21:24
*** Kabouik has quit IRC21:27
KotCzarnybut, its only the cotton part of the qtip or with plastic?21:27
SiceloAirwave: meat needle .. meant 'toothpick' ... shows you DocScrutinizer51 is weird :p21:27
KotCzarnysicelo, mind you doc is from .de, might be literal translation :P21:28
AirwaveKotCzarny: Only the cotton.21:28
KotCzarnyairwave, then long wire with a bit on the end should be enough, and a good light source21:28
DocScrutinizer51Sicelo: I don"t think you put your shashlik meat pieces on a tootpick21:29
KotCzarnyi mean long wire with a hook on the end21:29
Siceloi don't know what q-tip is, but seriously .. just open up the device21:29
AirwaveBut a toothpick is smooth.21:29
KotCzarnysicelo, piece of plastic with a bit of cotton at the ebd21:30
AirwaveSicelo: A cotton swab, like one might use to clean one's ears.21:30
Siceloah .. i get it now :)21:30
Siceloso the cotton was left inside?21:30
AirwaveKotCzarny: A good light source? What am I, mining for coal?21:30
AirwaveSicelo: Yes. I tried cleaning the slot with a q-tip, and when pulling it out, the tip was stuck.21:31
KotCzarnyairwave, i think there is a mechanism that holds the stylus inside21:32
AirwaveYeah. I didn't think of that.21:32
AirwaveI should have thought of it though, because it was pretty difficult to get it.21:32
Airwaveget in*21:32
*** abramelin has quit IRC21:34
KotCzarnyactually if its true it might be the reason why cotton stayed inside21:34
WizzupKotCzarny: thx for info, will look when I get some time off work... :)21:34

DocScrutinizer51Airwave: there are two spring loded latches that hold the stylus in bay. Take care to not bend or break them when pulling out the wadding ball! When pulling out is hard, don't use force but rather push in a bit and twist the wooden needle a few more turns, to unentange wadding from latch21:55
KotCzarnyanother (stupid) idea would be setting cotton on fire, he he21:57
AirwaveDocScrutinizer51: In that case, I'm worried that I already broke it. I used a lot of force when trying to get it out, which is what caused the tip of the q-tip to break off.21:58
AirwaveFuck, it's probably already broke. I should just throw it out.21:58
KotCzarnyairwave, there is still hope21:58
KotCzarnyand no, n900 has resistive screen, which means its perfectly usable without the stylus21:59
*** abramelin_ has quit IRC21:59
KotCzarnyor if you prefer keeping stylus just use a bit of string and hang it from the device21:59
DocScrutinizer51you should stop saying such provocant stuff and rather consider to disassemble device. fixing and bent springs is peetty easy then22:00
AirwaveSorry, I'm just upset.22:00
AirwaveJust letting off some steam because I just bought this thing last week.22:00
DocScrutinizer51the stylus is the least important part of whole device. Literally22:02
*** sunshavi has joined #maemo22:02
KotCzarnyairwave, also, remember that you can have replacement case dirt cheap, just buy n900 with broken modem/usb and swap22:04
KotCzarny(that's the worst case scenario)22:04
AirwaveThanks for the tips and consolation guys.22:05
KotCzarnyalso, for 6 years i never, not even once cleaned my n90022:05
KotCzarnyso dont overdo yours22:06
*** jonwil has joined #maemo22:07
AirwaveBut I keep it in my pocket and touch the phone all day. Kind of gross to not clean it.22:08
AirwaveEspecially since I bought it used.22:08
KotCzarnybuy a protective case and screen protector22:08
*** reinob has left #maemo22:08

KotCzarnywizzup, this post nicely sums up the banana brand (or in other words lemaker/sinovoip): http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/311-quick-review-of-lemakers-guitar/#entry268222:12
KotCzarnyi think similar case with nokia and n900, they had community, and that's the best asset one can have22:13
*** nick20150916 has joined #maemo22:14
bencohI never disassembled it (in almost 2 years) but I do clean it with alcohol22:16
bencoh(every surface in hand's reach apart from cam lens)22:17
KotCzarnyfor cam lenst just take off the backcover?22:18
bencohyou dont really want to clean the cam lens :)22:19
