brolin_empeyN9 power question: The general suggestion seems to be to remove or disconnect the battery but I guess from the context that the battery is difficult to access on the N9?07:58
brolin_empeyThe topic of this channel used to direct N9/Harmattan questions to a different channel but someone (DocScrutinizer05?) recently removed this part from the topic.08:00
*** spiiroin has quit IRC08:00
*** mavhc has quit IRC08:01
brolin_empeyDocScrutinizer05: How about setting a custom label for your swap space and writing this label on the drive containing this swap space?  If I recall correctly, you can identify swap space by the label in both the fstab file and as an argument to the swapon program.08:02
brolin_empeyYou could even use part of the UUID that is sufficiently short for you to memorise as the label.08:02
*** mavhc has joined #maemo08:04
MaxdamantusThe battery is difficult to access on the N9. Have to open the actual case.08:08
brolin_empeyDoes opening the case require more than fingers?08:12
MaxdamantusYes.08:15
MaxdamantusI haven't done it, but there's no "removable" back cover.08:16
brolin_empeyOn the Samsung notebook computer of my father, removing the battery (that powers the whole computer, not the clock battery) requires removing screws to disassemble the computer but the bottom of the case has a hole to temporarily disconnect the battery, like the reset switch on some computer cases where you have to stick something long and narrow in the hole to press the switch.  Well, strictly speaking, the clock is probably powered by a cell, not a battery08:17
brolin_empey, so I guess referring to the battery of the notebook computer is unambiguous if you know enough about the electronics.08:17
*** mavhc has quit IRC08:20
brolin_empeySpeaking of notebook computers, has Apple finally abandoned IEEE 1394 because having it requires additional hardware because the Intel hardware platform Apple uses for Apple x86 computers does not include IEEE 1394?08:20
brolin_empeyUSB 3.x seems to make IEEE 1394 irrelevant for many purposes.  IEEE 1394B was dramatically faster than High-speed USB but SuperSpeed USB made IEEE 1394 irrelevant if you wanted to use IEEE 1394 only because it was faster than High-speed USB.08:24
*** mavhc has joined #maemo08:25
brolin_empeyI mean faster as in throughput for file transfers.08:26
*** mavhc has quit IRC08:31
sicelomy main N900 does not detect a wifi network where my second (broken modem) N900 'sees' one08:38
sicelowhat could be the issue?08:38
KotCzarnysame os?08:39
brolin_empeysicelo: Non-broadcast SSID?  Wireless LAN uses a channel/frequency out of the range of the current regulatory domain for the Wireless LAN controller?08:40
*** mavhc has joined #maemo08:41
sicelowell the 2nd N900 is running leste .. but the driver is the same, of course08:41
siceloand i'm using wpa_supplicant on both (the network is WPA-EAP)08:41
KotCzarnyyou can try running wpa_supplicant without -B and with debug: -d08:41
siceloyes, i did. it just says no AP :)08:42
brolin_empeySome software does not show a Wireless LAN if the network does not broadcast/volunteer its SSID, which is like not seeing a person because you do not know their name.08:42
KotCzarnyit will show networks/aps it sees and some more info08:42
sicelothis is the only network, and it doesn't see it ... so that's why it says No AP08:43
sicelobrolin_empey: the SSID is not hidden, and as mentioned, the other N900 sees the network08:44
KotCzarnyi dont remember if n900 supports: iwlist scan08:44
KotCzarnymaybe it does on leste08:44
brolin_empeysicelo: Is the regulatory domain for the Wireless LAN controller the same for both computers?08:45
*** spiiroin has joined #maemo08:45
brolin_empeyIs the firmware for the Wireless LAN controller loaded by the OS?  If yes then maybe the version of the firmware is different between the computers?  Actually, I guess the version could be different even if the firmware is loaded independently of the OS.08:47
siceloit's as if the other N900 is weak - i can connect when very close to the AP08:49
*** mavhc has quit IRC08:50
brolin_empeyAntenna is different between the computers?  Does the N900 have an antenna for the Wireless LAN controller that is not part of the IC itself?08:50
siceloboth are N900, recall08:51
brolin_empeyYes but maybe the Wireless LAN controller is supposed to have an external antenna that is no longer connected?08:52
brolin_empeyExternal as in outside of the IC or whatever is the package of the Wireless LAN controller on the circuit board.08:53
sicelomaybe i have bad contacts08:56
*** mavhc has joined #maemo09:07
*** mavhc has quit IRC09:15
MaxdamantusThe N900 has such an external antenna, yes.09:15
MaxdamantusYou can take it off just by unscrewing something under the backcover iirc09:16
MaxdamantusActually, I don't know if that's the wifi antenna or cellular antenna or both.09:16

KotCzarnyhmm, i have a problem with fmms, it doesnt automatically connect to mms apn (works when i manually connect to it then open fmms)12:40
KotCzarnyanyone else noticed it?12:42

sixwheeledbeast^You tried the different settings in FMMS?13:02
sixwheeledbeast^i need to use the more aggressive settings to get them but i rarely get FMMS now. I had one in a year and that went to the Blackberry13:03
*** mavhc has joined #maemo13:05
KotCzarnywhich settings?13:05
KotCzarny'network mode' ?13:06
KotCzarnyheh, might be the right track13:08
KotCzarnysetting to 'rude' it at least tried to connect13:08
KotCzarnybut didnt wait long enough for connection to come up13:08
KotCzarnywhich eventually did but fmms timed out before that13:08

blebanyone here have links to resources for s60?19:36
bleblike guides for practical use of nokia s60 phones in 201819:36
blebfor example i heard you can install google maps on it if you disable some certificate checking, idk how to do that19:37
bleband theres no obvious place for where to get that info19:37
KotCzarnyunless you are emotionally attached, just grab n900 or any second hand android19:37
*** mavhc has quit IRC19:38
blebKotCzarny: i hate touch screens19:39
blebthats the reason19:39
blebi know n900 has a keyboard but you have to touch the screen19:40
sicelotthe java client of google maps still works :p19:43
siceloeven on N90019:43
siceloby java i mean, j2me19:43
siceloanyway S60 ...  what phone do you have?19:44
*** mavhc has joined #maemo19:44
KotCzarnybleb, i bet you can write fully kb controllable ui replacements19:46
KotCzarnyfor n90019:46
KotCzarnyin python for example19:46
blebbut then why wouldnt i just use my e5219:52
KotCzarnybecause n900 is so much nicer19:53
KotCzarnyand awesomer19:53
*** mavhc has quit IRC19:56
blebi mean it can do more19:57
blebbut i have a computer if i want to do more19:57
sicelothere was some website dedicated to symbian somewhere .. but i forgot it19:57
blebi just want a phone that will get out of my face but that will let me look up practical things like the location of a restaurant19:57
blebso i'm considering the e52 for that19:58
blebmy-symbian.com looks kinda good19:58
blebits just hard to tell what is a good site and what is trash19:59
sicelothere's a newer one ...  if i find it i will tell you19:59

sixwheeledbeast^bleb: blackberry bold?20:07
*** mavhc has quit IRC20:07
sixwheeledbeast^as an alternative to your s60 idea20:08
blebsixwheeledbeast^: i haven't looked into that too much20:09
blebbut its definitely an option20:09
sixwheeledbeast^its what i am using for work at the moment. much nicer to have an N900/BB than two N900's in your pocket.20:09
sixwheeledbeast^plus i get a good quality hw keyboard on both devices.20:09
*** tdlnx has quit IRC20:09
blebsixwheeledbeast^: do those blackberries have working google maps?20:10
sixwheeledbeast^have a browser20:10
sixwheeledbeast^i have offline routing on my N900 for that task so never tried20:10
sixwheeledbeast^plus i prefer a paper map most of time if it's a place i don't know20:11
blebyeah you can definitely live without it20:12
blebi just feel weird if i'm on my way somewhere and someone says "actually come to this place" and i have to ask for the street address because my car's gps doesn't have the names of establishments, only addresses20:13
*** mavhc has joined #maemo20:14

blebting has 2g data but only for texting, not for stuff like gmaps22:29
blebi wonder if there is any u.s. carrier that will provide data over 2g....22:30
