00:06.07 | anno^da_ | Will this class 6 sdhc micro sd card run in the G1? http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a342779.html |
00:06.17 | jbq | foonixx: I'm not familiar enough with the whole android UI design to know what would be best, but it seems to me that there should be some kind of message that can go from your network code to your UI code that'd run in the UI thread, so that when receiving that message you'd always be able to know exactly what state your UI is in. |

00:28.10 | pohamir | lol i closed out my embarq dsl today too |
00:28.17 | andyross | FWIW: I haven't noticed any real performance degradation over time. No doubt there are some bad apps out there, but just running the built-in software stack and doing a decent bit of development I don't find I need to reboot to "speed up" the G1. |
00:28.36 | pohamir | infernix: herm, mine is rc29, is that okay? lol i haven't read too much about the firmwares yet |
00:28.54 | luok | hm well i'm thinking about swapping bronze for black, so i will probably start fresh |
00:28.58 | luok | stupid bronze keyboard ! |
00:29.02 | infernix | pohamir: you should install the custom rc30 before the OTA update kills you root |
00:29.06 | Decavolt | Mine's not dragging ass or anything, but I can easily see myself maxing out storage. Just like a PC there has to be an optimal threshold of free space it "likes" |
00:29.16 | andyross | And note that I've done a pretty fair bit of staring at performance on the phone, having never caught an app doing something dumb. At worst, you tend to see garbage collections at odd times in the logcat. |
00:29.26 | pohamir | infernix: where do i get that? rs or torrent? |
00:29.32 | pohamir | infernix: does it work with tmobile? |
00:29.33 | infernix | pohamir: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448 - read the sticky posts |
00:29.40 | pohamir | okay |
00:29.55 | fadden | Decavolt: it's not swapping, so space on the internal flash shouldn't cause a slowdown |
00:30.14 | fadden | Failures, maybe, but not just a slowdown. :-) |
00:30.15 | Decavolt | good to know andyross |
00:30.26 | Decavolt | really? It doesn't swap at all? Wow. |
00:30.32 | andyross | fadden: it kinda is swapping, in the sense that it can eject disk-based mapped pages. I've seen it stall reading in code before. |
00:30.43 | Decavolt | that certainly changes things |
00:30.44 | fadden | andyross: paging rather than swapping |
00:30.55 | andyross | Yes yes, but with the same performance characteristics. |
00:31.12 | fadden | We've seen some fairly pathological paging performance when things get tight, though I think we got that under control before ship. |
00:31.41 | fadden | andyross: not quite the same -- you have to flush a dirty page to disk before you can eject it from physical memory |
00:31.51 | fadden | We never do that, so anything we want to unload can be tossed immediately. |
00:32.09 | pohamir | infernix: lol, wish i had all this info before i did the debian userland ;> |
00:32.14 | luok | hm reboot sped things up considerably |

00:35.16 | pohamir | downloading them now |
00:35.24 | jasta | snadge: thats possible now, by use of a SOCKS proxy |
00:35.25 | grey- | snadge: mmm or bluetooth. |
00:35.29 | snadge | its just annoying that the htc tytn ii, can do it via usb or bluetooth |
00:35.32 | grey- | snadge: mmm or 802.11! (: |
00:35.34 | jasta | snadge: and without root |
00:35.57 | snadge | of course.. the tytn ii also crashes all the time, and runs winmo |
00:36.15 | luok | sounds like its up to tmobile and i don't see why they'd want to allow it |
00:36.30 | jasta | ...as i said, it's possible now with a SOCKS proxy implemented as an android app |
00:36.33 | jasta | which does exist |
00:36.34 | snadge | having said that.. im currently in the back seat of an suv in los angeles somewhere, tethered to one via bluetooth.. on an laptop |
00:36.36 | florz | any hints where to find an arm sqlite3 binary in order to put it onto an RC29 G1? |
00:36.51 | jasta | florz: pull one off the emulator |
00:37.02 | snadge | cool, i might go with the socks proxy option then for now |
00:37.32 | jasta | its a limited approach of course, but really what did you plan tod o with your EDGE/3G data connection other than browse the web and use other simple TCP protocols? |
00:37.58 | Slackwise | Host a web server...? :P |
00:38.02 | snadge | all i care about really is web browsing and ssh, so yeah.. you are right |
00:38.06 | andyross | True (router) tethering is possible right now for rooted phones. Requires hand configuration though, there's no management app written. |
00:38.33 | snadge | my g1 is unlocked.. that doesnt mean the same thing as "rooted" i take it? |
00:38.40 | jasta | Slackwise: which you could not do with an EDGE or 3G connection on any carrier i've ever heard of. |
00:39.00 | Slackwise | jasta: The ":P" denotes sarcasm, unless you're just being pedantic for kicks. |
00:39.09 | jasta | snadge: the point is, a SOCKS proxy approach is not a hack. it's just an app, running as any other on the phone. |
00:39.31 | jasta | it could also be made to work neatly over wi-fi if you want it wireless, and even bluetooth once those apis come out |
00:39.33 | andyross | "unlocked" generally means you can use it on a non-T-Mobile network. "rooted" means you have the ability to run code as root on the phone, generally because you installed one of the modified flash images before upgrading to RC30 |
00:39.33 | snadge | right.. true nat would be a bonus, but its not essential for me |
00:39.59 | snadge | let me check what revision i have |
00:40.15 | sparkle | eldenz: the sdcard speed makes a huge difference |
00:40.23 | sparkle | especially if you are running a unix userland off of it |
00:40.43 | snadge | i have RC28 |
00:40.55 | snadge | is that the one with the "shutdown" bug? :P |
00:40.57 | eldenz | sparkle, ;) |
00:41.04 | Damm | if you have rc28 you can install JF's rooted RC30 |
00:41.05 | andyross | Good. When it asks you to upgrade, say no. And go check out the instructions for reflashing. |
00:41.06 | Damm | and stay rooted |
00:41.29 | snadge | i havn't enabled a data connection on it yet.. i just use wifi for the moment |
00:41.31 | eldenz | sparkle, and what if not? then it probably makes an almost nil difference |
00:41.41 | sparkle | and heh jasta |
00:42.00 | Decavolt | sorry if I missed this in the scroll, but does it need to be rooted in order for SOCKS proxy tethering to work? |
00:42.05 | sparkle | if you don't demand anything of it, you won't notice anything from it |
00:42.14 | andyross | No. SOCKS can be done in pure userspace with no root access needed. |
00:42.48 | andyross | (although the current SOCKS solutions won't run over bluetooth, you need to do port forwarding with adb or the like) |
00:42.50 | Decavolt | ah, great. Thanks andyross. I'm on rc30 unrooted. |

00:43.51 | snadge | im not sure who to blame.. t-mobile or google |
00:43.57 | Damm | I blame T-Mobile |
00:44.08 | andyross | guesses Google just didn't get the feature finished. The bits and pieces are all there, and TMO sells other smart phones with tethering IIRC. |
00:44.25 | sparkle | t-mobile sells a bunch of handsets that support tethering - though to be fair, they were probably worried about their 3g network getting overloaded |
00:44.26 | snadge | will it be available as a free upgrade though in the future |
00:44.31 | Damm | andyross, actually they're disabling it on certain handsets |
00:44.40 | andyross | sighs... |
00:44.45 | Decavolt | yeah, it has to be coming pretty soon. It's too big of a feature to just leave out |
00:44.47 | pohamir | what is this adb thing sparkle ? |
00:44.58 | Damm | pretty much their 3G handsets can barely do tethering, if at all... |
00:44.58 | sparkle | android debug bridge? |
00:45.06 | pohamir | o |
00:45.08 | snadge | i cant wait until theres non t-mobile handsets :/ |

00:51.09 | andyross | Yes. iptables for routing and pand for the bluetooth side. Disconnect did the work, his writeup is at: http://www.gotontheinter.net/node/515 No doubt someone's done some scripting around this already, but those instructions work. |
00:51.50 | andyross | (note the other hole is a missing DNS server -- you'll need to set one up manually on the tethered host) |
00:51.59 | andyross | tethered client, rather |
00:52.04 | snadge | i see.. and no usb support im assuming either |
00:52.43 | andyross | You could run packets over an adb port forward, but you'd need to write some code for that (or wrap a pppd, about which I know nothing) |
00:53.16 | snadge | does the socks option work with usb? (im assuming thats what adb is) |
00:53.54 | sparkle | right - adb is just used as a convenient conduit for data |

01:10.01 | florz | hmmm, ic ... any (easy) alternatives to the telnetd that's on there |
01:10.02 | florz | ? |
01:10.05 | infernix | hi bradley, thanks for sharing |
01:10.12 | pohamir | time would be better spent looking for a sploit |
01:10.14 | bradleyy_ | hah |
01:10.15 | pohamir | :] |
01:10.25 | sparkle | florz: sshd :) |
01:10.27 | bradleyy_ | agreed, any progress? |
01:10.40 | pohamir | luwlz i am on a mod rc30 now, no need :D |
01:11.01 | infernix | would really just be for the best to figure out how to use the HTC bootloader |
01:11.14 | infernix | and flash DREAIMG.NBH from SD |
01:11.26 | florz | sparkle: is there any easy-to-deploy binary somewhere? =:-) |
01:11.30 | luok | bradleyy_: what the heck do we need it for anyway! |
01:11.47 | bradleyy_ | thought the HTC bootloader isn't available on the g1 |
01:11.53 | infernix | it is |
01:11.59 | bradleyy_ | I need it so I can implement a PPTP VPN |
01:12.09 | infernix | but its different as the other htc devices |
01:12.11 | infernix | eg no USB |
01:12.15 | bradleyy_ | for luok |
01:12.17 | pohamir | lol now how do i get root? |
01:12.35 | pohamir | i didn't read that far on the mod rc30 :\ |
01:12.38 | bradleyy_ | no usb, does it support the sd card? |
01:12.46 | infernix | pohamir: su, or with adb |
01:13.04 | pohamir | frikken win |
01:13.15 | infernix | best to replace su |
01:13.18 | infernix | see sticky threads @ xda |
01:13.29 | pohamir | lul it completely disregards my root password from debian |
01:13.34 | pohamir | okay |
01:14.38 | bradleyy_ | so has anyone been looking at the htc bootloader? |
01:14.57 | bradleyy_ | jtag pins (I know someone has taken one apart) |

01:38.19 | snadge | yet you still have to "jailbreak" it, if you want full access |
01:38.39 | jbq | snadge: don't confuse android and the G1 - they're totally different beasts. |
01:39.16 | snadge | fair enough yeah.. but reading the information about the modded RC30, is enough to just put me off.. at least i know not to update to official RC30 |
01:39.40 | snadge | i think the best strategy is to just leave it alone.. and install the socks proxy if i want to share net |
01:39.48 | luok | but its part of the design of android for the user to not get root access? |
01:39.50 | jbq | I agree that it's unfortunate that the only android device available today isn't open enough for some good deep development and experimentation. |

01:40.35 | *** join/#android kslater (n=kslater@206.193.247.78) |
01:40.40 | Decavolt | even so, it's still much more open than the iPhone and many other. "open" != root |
01:40.56 | Decavolt | *otherS |
01:41.03 | luok | agreed |
01:41.18 | snadge | yeah.. i dont want to put the official rc30 on it, until someone figures out a way to root it :P by which stage.. there will no doubt be an RC31 |
01:41.42 | ismarc1 | there should be no reason for the end-user to need root. Developers, on the other hand, can make good use of root |
01:42.19 | unix_infidel | ismarc1: right now, no. because there isnt a killer app that relies on root. |
01:42.35 | unix_infidel | nor would you have seen a demo like RyeBrye's so soon after finding root. |
01:42.36 | ismarc1 | unix_infidel: the app is designed wrong if it requires true root access |
01:42.47 | unix_infidel | ismarc1: not designed incorrectly, just utilizes root functionality. |
01:42.58 | snadge | im a linux sysadmin by trade.. and am familiar with software dev.. i just like the idea of being able to have root if i want it |
01:42.59 | unix_infidel | which isnt unreasonable. |
01:43.10 | unix_infidel | snadge: what about RC30 worries you? |
01:43.19 | ismarc1 | unix_infidel: for good apps, not unreasonable. Imagine a malicious app with root capabilities |
01:43.22 | snadge | unix_lappy: the official or the modded one? |
01:43.28 | jbq | unix_infidel: actually, there are legitimate uses, especially for debugging (accessing your own app's private files from the shell when debugging it is really necessary, and it isn't currently possible without root). |
01:43.32 | Decavolt | just imagine the support (and malware) nightmare if root access were easy and there by default. |
01:43.36 | Decavolt | it's a horrible idea |
01:44.10 | snadge | its something you should be able to turn on with a hack, or key sequence on bootup etc.. so devs know how to do it, if they want to.. and end users wouldn't even know its there |
01:44.17 | unix_infidel | jbq: ismarc1 was making the assumption that there are no legitimate reasons for "normal" users need root. |
01:44.23 | bradleyy_ | All I know is that i want a VPN app, and if I had root I could have had it by now. |
01:44.25 | Decavolt | from a developer perspective, absolutely there should be root access. but that should come in the form of a development kit/build and not something anyone should expect to be standard on the phone |
01:44.29 | unix_infidel | jbq: for developers, obviously, debugging is a big one. |
01:44.59 | snadge | well you should be able to dev with an end user phone.. and not need a dev kit |
01:45.15 | unix_infidel | yea, there should be an AndroidFund, where the fund subsidizes Engineering Devices for developers who win something similar to the ADC (but on a larger scale) |
01:45.27 | jbq | unix_infidel: there are plenty of legitimate use cases that can't currently be done without root, but I haven't seen any that fundamentally needs root (they just need the framework to expose the appropriate capabilities) |
01:45.27 | snadge | it doesnt have to be an easily accessible option from a menu.. but at least documented and understood by those that need to |
01:46.04 | Decavolt | that really depends on how deep you're developing. The same is true on any platform. I can't expect to build any and all Cocoa apps for OSX if I don't have any sort of root access or root-level debugging tools. |
01:46.09 | bradleyy_ | you do realize the "normal users" analogizes to "normal users don't need a car with an opening hood" |
01:46.27 | unix_infidel | jbq: heh, we are all aware that Android is undoubtedly nascent and frameworks will come out that will realize killer features fairly quickly. |
01:46.35 | jbq | :) |
01:46.35 | unix_infidel | ;-) |
01:47.22 | snadge | is there a site that lists the changes between 28-29 and 30? |
01:47.29 | bradleyy_ | so, what you're saying is that I shold be at the mercy of whatever the high priests at google deign to give me? |
01:47.55 | bradleyy_ | I want a VPN, now, and I'm locked out of a device that I purchased. |
01:48.06 | bradleyy_ | not cool that I can't change the air cleaner. |
01:48.07 | jbq | snadge: not in detail. RC29: mid-severity webkit fix. RC30: 2 major-severity webkit fixes, plus plugging the root hole. |
01:48.09 | unix_infidel | google makes the will of the carriers easily accessible...if they didnt you'd never see an android device. |
01:48.31 | unix_infidel | it's as simple as that. |
01:48.55 | bradleyy_ | right, but I'm still in a position where I have to wait for google to (hopefully) release some sort of VPN kit. |
01:49.03 | snadge | t-mobile must have paid a hefty premium to be the first.. let them have that, its only a temporary situation |
01:49.23 | sparkle | so buy an unlocked phone that's not restricted |
01:49.24 | jbq | bradleyy_: part of the answer is "there wasn't enough time". part of it is "you bought that device from T-Mobile, and they're worried about the support costs or bandwidth costs". |
01:49.34 | snadge | i shelled out money for a g1, because i support the android project.. i knew that it was going to be crippled |
01:50.18 | snadge | i will no doubt bin it as soon as something less crap is released ;) |
01:50.22 | Decavolt | As I've said before, it's also a version 1.0. You can't expect it to be perfect, or expect development on it to be perfect. It needs a little time to evolve. |
01:50.26 | bradleyy_ | i.e.: we know you paid good money for that car, but putting on a different muffler might make you exceed the speed limit. |
01:50.39 | Nafai | Anyone have the correct URL for the update site for the Eclipse plug-in? |
01:50.45 | ismarc1 | bradleyy_: you could always write a java user-space tcp/ip stack and transparent proxy |
01:51.04 | unix_infidel | anyone here using the TetherBot app and find it severly limiting for normal use cases? |
01:51.23 | jsharkey | define normal ;) |
01:51.31 | bradleyy_ | ismarc1: that is the funniest suggestion I've heard in a long time. |
01:51.34 | unix_infidel | jsharkey: use your imagination ;-) |
01:51.39 | Decavolt | it's not about putting a different muffler on the car, it's about boring out the cylinders, adding a blower and nitrous. That's not standard, and should never be expected off of the showroom floor - i.e. stock |
01:51.44 | sparkle | lol |
01:52.04 | bradleyy_ | dude, VPN is not something that is like adding a blower. |
01:52.19 | bradleyy_ | VPN should have been supported out of the box |
01:52.30 | ismarc1 | VPN is like moving from an AM only radio to putting in a cd player |
01:52.32 | Decavolt | no, but expecting root access - and using your car analogy - is like heavily modding on the level of adding a blower. |
01:52.32 | bradleyy_ | it's been working on linux for many, many years |
01:52.59 | bradleyy_ | with root access YOU CAN add a blower. |
01:53.12 | BHSPitMonkey | bradleyy_, just get an iPhone, then! |
01:53.13 | bradleyy_ | without it, you can't change the radio to a cd player |
01:53.13 | BHSPitMonkey | ducks |
01:53.13 | jbq | ok, we got your point ;-) |
01:53.14 | Decavolt | and I'm sure VPN will be supported in future builds. How many major, current linux features where there in v1.0? |
01:53.15 | jsharkey | unix_infidel: lol, did firefox+ssh for me fine. sure its limited, but you can make it work |

01:54.37 | tmccrary1 | Is it possible to access opengl via jni with android? |
01:54.43 | jsharkey | unix_infidel: yea, i used ssh with the tunnel thing, but its limiting because you only get one tunnel :/ |
01:55.01 | bradleyy_ | you're saying that because radical changes could be accomplished, it isn't a good idea. |
01:55.09 | Nafai | tmccrary1: Dalvik isn't the JVM, so I doubt JNI works |
01:55.17 | jbq | tmccrary1: do you mean, from native code? |
01:55.21 | ttuttle | Nafai: JNI does work. |
01:55.26 | bradleyy_ | I'm saying becuase minor, useful, safe changes could be accomplished, it would be good to have it. |
01:55.44 | jbq | Nafai: actually, the API between bytecode and native is JNI, even though Dalvik is indeed not a JVM. |
01:55.48 | bradleyy_ | are there any pointers on JNI support? |
01:55.51 | Nafai | Oh nice. |
01:55.53 | Decavolt | oh ffs. No bradleyy_ that's not at all what I'm saying. Please re-read my last. |
01:56.00 | Nafai | Sorry for assuming wrong :) |
01:56.03 | tmccrary1 | yes, I'm just curious if there are any gotchas in doing so |
01:56.15 | unix_infidel | jsharkey: right, but most people dont want anything other than simple internet access. |
01:56.20 | jbq | tmccrary1: BTW, yes, there's a native API to OpenGL. Not supported, of course, but I think it's there. |
01:56.47 | tmccrary1 | jbq: awesome, thanks for the info |
01:57.08 | tmccrary1 | the reason I ask it, for our engine port, I want to keep certain components native |
01:57.15 | tmccrary1 | obviously performance critical sections |
01:57.40 | tmccrary1 | opengl may not need it |

01:59.39 | jbq | tmccrary1: at this point if you want to go the native route, you need to understand that it's a rough route in terms of development tools, and that compatibility of your code (source or binary) with future versions of Android or other devices running the same version of Android isn't guaranteed in any way. |
02:00.16 | jbq | (just setting expectations so that you can have the right risk assessment in your business decisions). |
02:00.20 | bradleyy_ | Decavolt, I'm saying that primarily *because* it's an infant device, we need root access to overcome the stuff the priesthood in their most benificient and wise manner, didn't put in there |
02:00.24 | *** join/#android unix_infidel (n=blue@unaffiliated/unixinfidel/x-8383745) |
02:00.25 | tmccrary1 | jbq: understood. I guess thats what updates are for ;) |
02:00.31 | bradleyy_ | agree to disagree? |
02:00.45 | Decavolt | is it impossible for you to root the device? No. |
02:01.03 | Decavolt | is it easy? No. But it's new - expect that to come in a future update. |
02:01.08 | bradleyy_ | is now: I'm on rc30, at least currently impossible |
02:01.29 | bradleyy_ | BTW, prev comment was tongue-in-cheek |
02:02.47 | tmccrary1 | jbq: one question, by "not being guaranteed", does that mean that native code could be disabled in the future or just that various things could change (important headers, libraries, etc) without notice or warning? or both? :) |
02:03.16 | bradleyy_ | my guess is the latter |
02:03.18 | jbq | disabled isn't going to happen, the core android relies on it a lot. |
02:03.30 | tmccrary1 | ok cool |
02:03.31 | bradleyy_ | exactly |
02:03.31 | jbq | but yes, API changes, ABI changes, different CPUs... |
02:03.34 | tmccrary1 | right |
02:04.06 | tmccrary1 | well, since at least the G1 device isn't completely open, security restrictions for native code could come in to play |
02:04.09 | tmccrary1 | thats what I was asking |
02:04.22 | tmccrary1 | say, no unsigned native code or something like that |
02:04.45 | jbq | tmccrary1: the security model is based on linux processes, so there's nothing that is allowed from within the VM that wouldn't be allowed from native code. |
02:04.56 | tmccrary1 | but I can deal with the other issues, that's not on google or whomever |
02:07.17 | jbq | I don't expect to see any work that'll make native code harder, or that'll attempt to disable it, or anything like that. |
02:07.40 | jbq | It's just that the android engineering team won't go out of their way to maintain compatibility at that level. |
02:08.06 | jbq | (and that right now there's no mechanism to check compatibility of apps that use native code against different CPUs). |

02:09.01 | tmccrary1 | great. Honestly, I think using the vm is the better idea for the reasons you mentioned (simplify cross platform/arch stuff). It's just with things like physics and some graphics stuff, you can tweak more and get better performance. |
02:09.01 | jbq | at some point in the future, things might be clear enough that the android technical management could say "from this point this is supported", but this point is in a distant enough future that no date can be precisely attached to it. |

04:09.41 | TiberiumX | So how long you think it'll take you to code it, Lieutenant? |
04:09.49 | Lieutenant | WTF |
04:09.49 | Lieutenant | lol |
04:09.54 | Lieutenant | i can't even code a "hello world" |
04:10.29 | Mony | Lieutenant, i really hate java too |
04:10.30 | Mony | :D |
04:10.33 | JesusFreke | well you better get to work :D |
04:10.34 | Lieutenant | i was just throwin it out there... ya' know, just to be inspirational. |
04:10.41 | Lieutenant | givin ideas out |
04:12.05 | Leeds | so I was at a 'networking event' last night for IT/digital media type people... chatting to a guy I know, one of the founders of an online company... they have an iPhone app, which is a pretty simple front-end to their web service |
04:12.28 | Leeds | he was very interested in getting an Android version |
04:12.55 | TiberiumX | Good. More apps the better. Unless it's a 10th tip calculator. |
04:12.58 | Leeds | nope |
04:13.17 | Leeds | more to the point, he was interested in paying for an Android version... so I think it's time I learned some Java :-) |
04:13.33 | JesusFreke | money is a good motivator :) |
04:14.00 | TiberiumX | What sort of service is it? |

04:15.26 | marix | hey guys |
04:15.53 | Disconnect | we're talking about that at work also. nobody thought it was a good idea 2nd quarter when i said "we need an actual mobile site" .. but now they want iphone/android apps (which -could- be based off that mobile site, but we didn't make one..) |
04:15.58 | Leeds | it's an online hosted helpdesk |
04:16.05 | Lieutenant | well last night i was registering for college classes, and i saw my old 6th grade teacher there, (she's the mom of a friend of mine but the friend wasn't there) so my teacher said "hi" to me, and i was like who is this person? then after like 4 seconds of an odd silence, i recognized her and was like "ohh, its been a long time" so i had thought she knew who i was. but today i asked the girl if her mom talked to her about me, |
04:16.12 | Lieutenant | her mom talked to her about me, and she was like "yea, my mom said she saw a random kid she used to teach and said hi" so she didn't really know me. :( i feel sad. |
04:16.17 | Lieutenant | well thats my life story. |
04:16.26 | snadge | how do i send alt+key with connectbot? |
04:16.29 | Lieutenant | how's ur day been so far? |
04:17.03 | Leeds | Lieutenant: erm, what? |
04:17.08 | marix | not as emo filled as yours thats for sure... |
04:17.41 | snadge | ctrl is tap on trackball, esc is double tap.. alt is .. ? |
04:17.43 | TiberiumX | Haha |
04:18.09 | TiberiumX | My days haven't been emo enough lately either. |
04:18.18 | snadge | logically it would be alt but its not :P |
04:18.55 | TiberiumX | How do you send esc with connectbot? I got stuck in insert mode in vim yesterday. |
04:19.21 | snadge | press trackball twice |
04:19.41 | Lieutenant | lol |
04:20.12 | TiberiumX | Thanks |
04:20.49 | Lieutenant | why did google hide all these damn features? |
04:20.55 | Lieutenant | like transitions... |
04:21.21 | marix | part of their product growth plan |
04:21.26 | TiberiumX | Weren't finished with them? |
04:21.26 | snadge | theres a little keyboard demo when u first run connectbot, that i cant figure out how to bring back |
04:21.37 | Leeds | power questions? |
04:21.37 | Lieutenant | well they seem finished to me. |
04:21.46 | marix | same reason why the iphone doesn't have copy paste, because they need you to buy the next version. |
04:22.21 | Lieutenant | i thought google was different :( |
04:22.29 | infernix | crap. anyone else getting data corruption when copying stuff through USB mount? |
04:22.33 | TiberiumX | I'd point out that the same software runs on all versions of the phone, but they did try to charge me for updates to my touch. Assholes. |
04:22.56 | marix | lieutenant, i was just kidding, cheer up kiddo, that friends mom/teacher really wanted to fuck. :) |
04:22.57 | infernix | im mounting, copying 55mb files, umounting, then remounting, and when i md5sum the files the sum is different |
04:23.11 | infernix | eg corruption while copying :| |

04:30.30 | JesusFreke | I've gotten corruption a few times as well |
04:30.53 | JesusFreke | my G1's seems particularly sensitive to RF interference |
04:31.12 | marix | what are these transition effect you speak of |
04:31.42 | JesusFreke | if I plug in my BT dongle into my computer near where the USB cable is (like into the same set of ports), it really screws up my usb connection to the G1 |
04:32.18 | JesusFreke | I can get an adb shell for a few seconds, then it goes back to command line and I can't connect with adb at all until I take out/put in the usb cable |
04:32.53 | JesusFreke | and just in general, I've got a corrupted file every once in a while when copying via adb push or copying when the sdcard is mounted on my computer |
04:33.34 | JesusFreke | make sure you're plugging directly into the computer, and use the shortest cable you have. Other than that.. just keep trying I guess |
04:33.51 | infernix | JesusFreke: ok so you just copy data to the sd with a card reader? especially recovery.img and friends? |
04:33.56 | Damm | that's fucking weird. |
04:34.02 | marix | jesusfreke, is there any location where i could find a change log for v1.1 and v1.2 of the modified rc30? |
04:34.21 | marix | and perhaps a roadmap for next update? |
04:34.33 | infernix | ok, confirmed that sdhc card is fine |
04:34.33 | JesusFreke | well, I didn't have a card reader at the time. It usually worked on the 2nd try |
04:34.36 | Damm | marix, you ask JF fr more then Google does? |
04:34.37 | Damm | damn |
04:34.41 | Damm | for* |
04:35.08 | JesusFreke | here are the contents of my todo list for v1.3 :) |
04:35.20 | JesusFreke | (it may not be totally up to date.. have looked at it in a few days) |
04:35.24 | marix | i don't want him to go out and make it, but if he already has one... |
04:35.28 | JesusFreke | add "using test keys" in recovery image |
04:35.28 | JesusFreke | prevent the common error in recovery image |
04:35.28 | JesusFreke | strip binaries in xbin, add more binaries/modules |
04:35.28 | JesusFreke | modules/binaries/scripts for BT tethering |
04:35.28 | JesusFreke | modules/binaries/scripts for ad-hoc wifi tethering |
04:35.29 | JesusFreke | create a link for cp, grep, wget |
04:35.31 | JesusFreke | add koush's superuser app |
04:35.33 | JesusFreke | add a ro.modversion property |
04:35.35 | JesusFreke | fix permissions in xbin |
04:35.38 | JesusFreke | woo. didn't kick me for spamming |
04:35.53 | infernix | what about using yaffs instead of vfat on the sd card? |
04:36.31 | JesusFreke | no clue infernix :). give it a shot and let me know if it works :D |
04:36.41 | infernix | my RC28 is on its way |
04:36.45 | infernix | i'll soon join :) |
04:36.55 | JesusFreke | ah :) |
04:37.02 | marix | huh? |
04:37.25 | JesusFreke | **haven't looked at it in a few days (from a few comments ago) |
04:38.05 | infernix | yep, definite file corruption when copying only 55mb of data |
04:38.31 | infernix | bt is off, only thing i can think of is my wireless mouse or my Wii which is in standby |
04:39.00 | JesusFreke | I have no idea if this will help, but try placing the phone as near to the usb port as you can and coiling the cord |
04:39.01 | infernix | will try it on my laptop later |
04:39.20 | JesusFreke | I figure it might be less of an RF antenna that way. *shrug* |
04:39.41 | JesusFreke | might be even more of one.. lol |
04:39.50 | marix | throw it in a copper mesh box |
04:40.09 | JesusFreke | or wrap some aluminum foil around it? :D |
04:40.28 | JesusFreke | puts an aluminum foil hat on his G1 |
04:41.52 | infernix | negative |
04:41.58 | infernix | different md5sum every time i copy |
04:42.05 | JesusFreke | sighs |
04:42.23 | JesusFreke | no clue then. heh |
04:42.30 | infernix | now the kicker is, is this a problem in the usb mount app on the phone |
04:42.34 | infernix | or is the hardware broken |
04:42.45 | infernix | you said it occurs with adb too? |
04:42.46 | TiberiumX | Consistet md5sum when you run it multiple times on the same copy? |
04:42.54 | infernix | TiberiumX: different md5sum each time |
04:42.56 | JesusFreke | yeah, it does with mine, infernix |
04:43.25 | JesusFreke | adb push gets corrupted sometimes (probably more often even) |
04:43.47 | infernix | its a simple routine. mount android; cp 50mb.bin android/; umount android; mount android; md5sum 50mb.bin android/50mb.bin; umount android; |
04:44.14 | infernix | i suggest you test it if you want to listen to uncorrupted mp3s :) |
04:44.34 | infernix | this might also very well explain why i have been trying for hours and hours to get my encoded video to play |
04:44.43 | infernix | it being larger it must've corrupted even more |
04:44.52 | JesusFreke | yeah, more than likely |
04:45.10 | JesusFreke | you might try throwing the file on a web server with a .xxx extension, and downloading it on the G1 |

05:22.00 | TiberiumX | Why do Cursors no longer support updating the database contents? Google keeps teasing me with cool stuff in their own applications, that they promptly ripped out for SDK 1.0. |
05:27.47 | jbq | TiberiumX: It actually created a lot of unexpected behaviors in content providers: it was far from obvious that query() was actually a read-write APIs. |
05:30.08 | *** join/#android tripps (n=tripps@adsl-69-153-130-203.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net) |
05:30.42 | jbq | Also, they made it annoyingly hard to implement fine-grained update-time security in content providers, because the way cursors got data was different from what content providers get. |
05:31.03 | tripps | one really annoying behavior on my G1 is when you switch back to the browser application it reloads the current page. is this a feature or bug? |
05:31.25 | jbq | Finally, you couldn't insert in a cursor, so the API was somewhat incomplete since you couldn't even do with a cursor everything you could do with a straight provider. |
05:31.40 | jbq | tripps: let's call that an unfortunate feature ;-) |
05:32.44 | tripps | jbq, any particular reason for it? it's especially insidious as it's an expensive operation given the b/w and operating environment of the device it would seem |
05:34.42 | jbq | I don't remember. Might just have been the more logical action in the regular Android application lifecycle. |
05:35.58 | TiberiumX | I see. So I guess there is no intention of bringing that back in the future? |
05:36.15 | tripps | jbq, any plans to modify this behavior? or at least have a configuration setting for it? |
05:36.19 | jbq | TiberiumX: definitely not. We're trying to remove it from the implementation entirely. |
05:36.55 | jbq | tripps: I don't know. I've got less and less visibility into the browser team as I've moved to another team. |
05:36.57 | TiberiumX | So what's with the transition effects that are now enabled by "DroidSans Tweak Tools"? Does that cause problems with some applications? |
05:37.30 | jbq | Yeah, transitions aren't quite working 100%. |
05:37.42 | tripps | jbq, cool. perhaps I'll submit something on the site and see what happens. |
05:38.03 | TiberiumX | Haven't run into anything yet, but I haven't played around with it much. |
05:48.38 | G94B | guys, all of the apps in the android store are free, is that going to change in the future? |
05:48.53 | Leeds | G94B: yes |
05:49.21 | G94B | ok, because i was wondering how developers would be motivated |
05:49.29 | G94B | did they give a date? |
05:49.46 | Leeds | I think you have to buy them dinner first |
05:50.15 | G94B | :-) |
05:50.16 | marix | show em a good time and they will do anything |
05:50.37 | G94B | what languages can be used to develope on android besides java? |
05:51.26 | jbq | G94B: at this point there are no other supported options. Some people have managed to run native code, but if you do that you're on your own. |
05:52.10 | G94B | ok, i was just wondering, i'm a newbie programmer with a slight interest in learning how one goes about writing software are having it sold |
05:52.41 | G94B | so i guess i want to learn java if i'm going to write an android app :-) |
05:52.44 | jbq | At this point you should consider the Java programming language if you're interested in Android. |
05:52.47 | jbq | yes |

06:08.17 | tripps | is it pls that it doesn't support then? |
06:08.25 | jbq | tripps: yes. |
06:08.27 | Leeds | correct |
06:08.39 | tripps | then I guess I should rephrase my question :) when will the music player support pls files ;) |
06:08.56 | jbq | literally "when someone implements support for it". |
06:08.57 | Leeds | if you look inside a pls file you will see the URLs for the actual stream |
06:09.09 | tripps | ok - I'll try that |
06:09.51 | jbq | Amusingly, someone could implement a shoutcast app that parses the descriptor and launches the media player on the actual stream. No need to modify the system. |
06:10.06 | Leeds | jbq: that sounds like a plan :-) |
06:10.21 | Leeds | all I need to do is... y'know, work out how to write anything more complex than hello world in java |
06:10.29 | jbq | :) |
06:10.55 | Leeds | why couldn't you have taken a hint from the app engine folks and gone for python as your only supported language? huh??? |
06:11.10 | Leeds | because that has lead to such wide adoption of app engine... |
06:11.26 | jbq | Leeds: actually Guido advocated for Python pretty heavily as you can imagine. |
06:11.33 | Leeds | what I need to do is stop my life interfering with my coding :-) |
06:11.50 | Leeds | oh, cool... wonder what the chances are of getting a serious python->dalvik thing going at some point |
06:11.57 | jbq | yeah, well, the other option is for coding to consume all your life... |
06:12.18 | unix_infidel | jbq: well the Jython bridge relies heavily on JNI for a lot of the non supported Python stuff. though, it'd be a total mess trying to port within the timeframe you guys had. |
06:12.28 | Leeds | that ain't gonna happen... I live in a party town and have a slightly clingy girlfriend :-) |
06:12.59 | jbq | Leeds: you have a girlfriend? I thought you said you wanted to code! You got it all wrong... ;-) |
06:13.20 | jbq | (j/k, I met my wife on IRC after we argued about the product I was working on at the time) |

06:18.03 | Leeds | tripps: pay me to write it - I'll put it on my list :-) |
06:18.15 | tripps | :) |
06:18.23 | jbq | Yes, at this point it's weak. I think that it took quite some effort to get any audio to play at all. |
06:18.52 | tripps | jbq, no doubt. tons of bugs/"features" in it as well. sounds good though playing straight mp3s tho |

06:19.05 | Leeds | jbq: not sure if you saw when I mentioned before - I was informally offered work developing an android app (to complement an existing iphone app) by someone I know last night |
06:19.17 | eugene | Leeds: saw a new aussie android phone. looks like a treo but the screen looks small |
06:19.52 | Leeds | yup, saw that... one interesting point is that it does have a different resolution screen (320x240) from the G1 - I think a lot of apps will trip up on that |
06:20.15 | tripps | what is the res of the G1? |
06:20.24 | Leeds | 480x320, isn't it? |
06:20.24 | TiberiumX | 320x480? |
06:20.34 | tripps | cool |
06:20.38 | Leeds | er, yes, the other way round |
06:20.41 | jbq | yes, the first device that's not a G1 will cause a bit of pain. Yup, G1 is half-VGA. |
06:21.19 | tripps | can't wait until accel based land/port swapping and soft keys! some android apps in the market use accel to swap format and it works very well methinks |
06:21.38 | Leeds | as long as it's optional - always optional |
06:21.42 | tripps | right |
06:21.47 | tripps | agreed |
06:22.11 | jbq | The limiting factor when switching orientations typically isn't the actual drawing. |
06:22.42 | tripps | what is it then? |
06:22.45 | TiberiumX | Any way to increase the jpeg quality that the home screen uses when you set a background? Some images end up looking really crappy on there. |
06:23.05 | jbq | reading resources and doing the actual layout is typically the limiting factor. |
06:23.21 | jbq | TiberiumX: no at the moment. The quality is set too low :( |
06:23.53 | Leeds | and more to the point - I meant to poke romainguy about this - is it just me who often sees upwards of 5 second pauses while it loads that screen? |
06:24.22 | tripps | really the web, gmail and messaging apps is where I would use it the most. quick 2-3 word responses to SMS that I have to open the keyboard, etc. |
06:24.25 | TiberiumX | Yeah, I get that. |
06:24.25 | jbq | Leeds: it happens if home had been kicked out and if there's a lot of filesystem activity while loading the icons and the background. |
06:24.43 | TiberiumX | It happens when I've been using the phone too long and crap has accumulated. |
06:25.06 | Leeds | that is what I assumed - but I thought home would be pinned |

06:25.12 | *** part/#android raidfive (n=adam@c-71-236-205-80.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) |
06:25.30 | TiberiumX | And services are higher priority than any activity, including the home screen, correct? |
06:25.33 | tripps | TiberiumX, amen to that |
06:25.46 | tripps | speaking of which when will be able to kill/close apps? |
06:26.01 | jbq | TiberiumX: yeah, that happens a lot of you leave apps in the background (home is only one of the background apps). Things end to be better when you actually exit the apps. |
06:26.10 | unix_infidel | writes down taskmanager and IMF on tripps holiday wishlist. |
06:26.21 | jbq | I meant, when you exist the activity. |
06:26.35 | jbq | (can't exit an app on android, it's always there once it's installed) |
06:27.19 | TiberiumX | How do you exit an activity? You mean backing out (with the back button) vs. pressing Home? |
06:27.25 | jbq | TiberiumX: yes |
06:27.30 | unix_infidel | and android kills app based on....dynamic conditions? |
06:27.49 | Leeds | so which way cleans things up more? home or back? |
06:27.53 | jbq | unix_infidel: it kills processes that way. |
06:27.57 | jbq | Leeds: back. |
06:28.06 | TiberiumX | \me closes his inactive servies during onStop(). |
06:28.14 | TiberiumX | Argh, it's forward slash. |
06:28.14 | tripps | but that isn't always the case. like I switch back and forth between processes using the back key and it leaves it where it was |
06:28.50 | *** join/#android illusion (n=illusion@61.107.31.52) |
06:28.50 | unix_infidel | tripps: cleans things up, not call destroy. |
06:28.58 | Leeds | unix_infidel: there's a bunch of stuff in the docs about how process priority is calculated |
06:29.02 | jbq | tripps: it leaves an empty process behind. takes little RAM, not CPU, and speeds up relaunching the app in case it can be kept around. |
06:29.09 | tripps | gotcha |
06:29.19 | jbq | those empty processes are the first ones to leave when memory gets tight. |
06:29.27 | illusion | hey, have u guys tried to play video with the emulator? |
06:30.01 | Leeds | so the empty process is a vm with a little state? |
06:30.03 | tripps | like today I was using teedroid on the golf course, which was always active, then responded to emails and texts using the notification bar then backed up to teedroid. worked well and expected behavior IMO |
06:30.04 | illusion | ive got some codes (maybe old) but it seems like doesnt work. |
06:30.07 | unix_infidel | Honestly, most people'd prefer that method though, power users will want to kill apps, most people just want to know it's doing the best it can in a relatively intelligent fashion. |
06:30.13 | jbq | Leeds: yes. |
06:30.31 | tripps | agrees with unix_infidel |
06:30.47 | RyeBrye | I reboot my phone every once in a while |
06:30.58 | Leeds | there are times when you know you're done with something, or you can feel the system getting a little sluggish, where you want to 'reset' without rebooting |
06:31.00 | jbq | unix_infidel: what's really needed is some way to determine which apps (if any) are actually potentially misbehaving, and allow the user to make decisions based on that. |
06:31.15 | TiberiumX | Gah, I'd hate having to manage programs on a phone, and I hate having to reboot. |
06:31.25 | Leeds | I'm at 191 hours since a reboot - that's quite a long time |
06:31.50 | RyeBrye | My phone reports an uptime that goes back to january 1, 1970 |
06:31.52 | tripps | I think a battery saving feature would be the screen auto-dims after 20 seconds of inactivity rather than right before it goes blank. that behavior kinda seems useless ;) |
06:32.04 | RyeBrye | Right now, it's uptime is 341214:31:58 |
06:32.05 | unix_infidel | jbq: Agreed. though DDMS is great, it's not a great way to "Profile" how your app behaves over long periods of time. |
06:32.21 | Leeds | RyeBrye: not uptime - the battery info panel has stats |
06:32.31 | unix_infidel | especially visualizing the profile, which is what management folks and architects want to do. |
06:32.46 | RyeBrye | Leeds - which panel? |
06:33.09 | Leeds | RyeBrye: I'm actually not sure how to get to it conventionally, but anycut lets you create a shortcut to it |
06:33.13 | jbq | tripps: yeah, dimming earlier before locking would be sweet... the mechanism around locking and stuff is surprisingly complex, though. |
06:33.30 | RyeBrye | Leeds - my time since boot in Battery info is: "341214:33:14" - something is screwed up in my system with how it reports uptime |
06:33.48 | RyeBrye | probably somethign to do with a strange tweak in my boot.img or something |
06:33.52 | tripps | also strange none of the battery management apps on market do anything about G2 vs. G3 setting though they take care of everything else |
06:34.29 | DarkriftX | anyone tried those transition effect apks from xda-devs? |
06:34.37 | sparkle | yeah |
06:34.39 | TiberiumX | On the G1, is there any way to turn on audio output headphones, but keep the microphone input on the phone? I plug in my headphones and it trys to do speaker and microphone through the port at the bottom. |
06:34.42 | DarkriftX | worth the effort? |
06:34.44 | sparkle | i was so thankful i could use them to disable the effects completely |
06:34.45 | TiberiumX | Yeah, really cool. |
06:34.49 | RyeBrye | DarkriftX - there are more of them? I'm just using the one on the market |
06:34.55 | sparkle | you can turn off some of the slow slide/transition you get sometimes |
06:34.58 | sparkle | i hate that :p |
06:35.45 | RyeBrye | Has anyone poked around to see if the MSM7201A has USB host - and if it's possible to enable it in the driver? |
06:36.09 | unix_infidel | RyeBrye: iirc it was pointed out it's not available out of the box, not sure what sort of hackery can be done. |
06:36.18 | jbq | You mean, USB host? |
06:37.10 | RyeBrye | yeah |
06:38.10 | jbq | The 7201 can be wired that way with additional support electronics, but the G1 doesn't have that. |
06:38.13 | RyeBrye | jbq - so it needs to offload the host to something? |

06:52.39 | tripps | jbq, it seems to do it even after booting up, if I wait long enough. perhaps some app is in the startup sequence? any way to tell which one? |

06:53.09 | jbermudes | sorry for the silly question, but does the g1 have any internal storage or just the sd slot? |
06:53.21 | jbq | jbermudes: there's a bit of internal storage. |
06:53.24 | TiberiumX | Looks like Android File Manager does. Slowly. And it crashes the Music app even though it wasn't playing anything from that directory. |

06:58.45 | grey- | oh that looks nice. |
06:58.50 | grey- | more like my old e62. |
06:59.25 | rwhitby | it's just that I haven't heard about it in the normal tech news |
06:59.27 | grey- | can't tell if that's a scroll wheel. |
06:59.33 | grey- | but I assume it is. |
06:59.38 | rwhitby | I would have thought that perhaps the second android handset would be news? |
06:59.51 | grey- | one thing the g1 [and so far other android phones I've seen] lacks compared to the sidekick is the dpad. |
06:59.55 | grey- | which is kinda sad. :( |
07:00.15 | grey- | that phone looks really slick though. |
07:00.34 | jbq | rwhitby: Well, Android is open-source, so anyone can make a phone with it. Time will tell whether it's vaporware or not. |

07:01.20 | grey- | rwhitby: give it time; that nokia running android certainly looked relatively highres. |
07:01.27 | grey- | maybe 640x480 or 800x600? |

07:01.33 | rwhitby | unix_infidel: meh - a good UI means you should never have to touch the screen anyway ... |

07:02.24 | unix_infidel | installed is not functional. |
07:02.27 | grey- | albeit afaik most of those nokia's don't have a gsm/etc. radio, so not so useful. |
07:02.40 | jbq | super-dense screens aren't necessarily an advantage: that's more data to move around, i.e. more battery consumption and less speed. |
07:02.45 | rwhitby | yeah, the definition of "running" on the n810 is very loose |
07:03.00 | rwhitby | jbq: but more email I can read on the screen at a time |
07:03.24 | grey- | jbq: extra res can be handy at times. That said, the connectbot is a kickass ssh client that thankfully properly displays [just about] and 80x24 terminal, which is really my most important gripe with most cell phone screen resolutions. |
07:03.27 | jbq | rwhitby: true, if your eyes are good enough. |
07:03.33 | rwhitby | on the treo, the summary email screen has 12 messages with 2 lines (sender, time, subject) for each |
07:03.50 | rwhitby | then an individual message has 13 lines of text |
07:03.57 | unix_infidel | jsharkey: agreed, would like to see some best practices come out for different device and input models, and at the very least, different resolutions. |
07:04.03 | grey- | I mean... let's be honest, android's UI doesn't conserve screen real estate at all. |
07:04.11 | jbq | extra res makes sense for CJK, less for latin. |

07:05.13 | grey- | jbq: well already g1 can display unicode/cjkv just fine. The IME is what's lacking until q1 I guess. |
07:05.13 | rwhitby | I've yet to see any other phone with a keyboard on the front (i.e. not a slide) which can show that much text in a readable format on the screen. |
07:05.21 | jbq | finger-based touch requires quite some large touch areas, and if the spacing between touchable and non-touchable areas is too inconsistent it looks really weird. |
07:05.49 | jbq | I meant, high-density screens make more sense for CJK markets than latin markets. |
07:06.01 | rwhitby | would love a phone that has a colour ncurses interface ... |
07:06.05 | grey- | rwhitby: my e62 (and presumably the e71) nokia's had nonslide keyboards and were decent at displaying lotsa txt (that said symbian sucks for most other things) |
07:06.25 | jsharkey | mmmmmm ncurses =D |
07:06.30 | grey- | jbq: true. but higher res doesn't always mean easier to read. ;) |
07:06.41 | rwhitby | grey-: yeah, but the keyboards on them don't rate against the treo keyboard |
07:06.44 | unix_infidel | asus is coming out with a QVGA phone with a fairly fast ARM in there. |
07:06.51 | unix_infidel | should be interesting. |
07:07.04 | jbq | Yeah. 6-pixel text at 240 dpi is challenging for most people ;-) |
07:07.08 | grey- | jbq: if the dpi goes up but the physical screen size stays the same unless you've got some larger fonts just means you're squinting more. |
07:07.49 | grey- | rwhitby: haven't used a treo; but the e61 had IMNSHO better keyboards than the g1, blackberries and samsung (i730)'s I've used. |
07:07.50 | jbq | Anyway, the Android APIs are supposed to be able to deal with screens of varying densities and pixel couns. |
07:07.56 | jbq | (counts) |
07:07.59 | grey- | jbq: *nod* |
07:08.12 | grey- | I bought the g1 knowing I would replace it with a better device later. |

07:08.22 | grey- | that said, I wasn't expecting a device like that to be out so soon, that looks sweet. |
07:08.29 | rwhitby | grey-: note that later treos than the 650 have keyboards that are not as good |
07:08.38 | rwhitby | e.g. the Treo pro keyboard is not good at all |
07:08.40 | grey- | rwhitby: :-/ |

07:10.48 | unix_infidel | wonders when he will see a G1 with a mini apple logo on the back ;-) |
07:11.08 | grey- | rwhitby: and sharp over the years got their hardware manufacturing for the sidekick down to quite the refined product. |
07:11.12 | DarkriftX | mine will have the MS logo, apple logo and google logo on it |
07:11.13 | DarkriftX | beat that! |
07:11.16 | jbq | android has lots of people from danger, palmsource, openwave, and be. |
07:11.19 | DarkriftX | wait, scratch the MS logo :S |
07:11.32 | Leeds | jbq: and one or two from google? |
07:11.55 | grey- | rwhitby: pretty much dead as a platform though. I've got one friend left there, and since the MS buyout, it sounds like they may pushout the 3g sidekick as the last true sidekick and then who knows... there's rumours brewing of a zune-phone [but I kinda shudder to think what will come of that] |
07:12.01 | jbq | Leeds: you mean, who worked on other Google products before? Sure, quite a few in fact. |
07:12.32 | rwhitby | the zune phone would have to be the antithesis of android, right? |
07:12.51 | *** join/#android DarkriftX (n=AAQWR1@ip68-104-161-224.ph.ph.cox.net) |
07:12.53 | Leeds | surely the zune phone is just a winmob phone with zune.exe supplied? |
07:13.26 | rwhitby | Leeds: it's bound to have something tied into the OS that no other licensee of winmob can get ... |
07:13.26 | grey- | rwhitby: but for example... one of the initiatives at danger (pre-ms buyout) was to remove the somewhat newos-based underpinnings and instead use netbsd. Albeit in either case (similar to linux on android) it's ostensibly just a glorified bootloader for a jvm (dalvik in android's case, but the sidekick basically had a very similar design) |
07:14.35 | DarkriftX | w00t |
07:15.15 | rwhitby | ah, the fine print: "The design of the Kogan Agora and Kogan Agora Pro, when dispatched, will be materially similar to the images set out on this website. Despite this, Kogan Technologies reserves the right to make non-material modifications to the design of the phones in its sole discretion." |

07:15.38 | *** join/#android DarkriftX (n=AAQWR1@ip68-104-161-224.ph.ph.cox.net) |
07:16.02 | grey- | still that's a nice formfactor. |
07:16.03 | rwhitby | um, I would have thought for a jan 2009 launch that mass production would need to have started. |
07:16.16 | grey- | I prefer nonslide/flip/etc. |
07:16.24 | rwhitby | grey-: you and me both |
07:16.27 | grey- | qwerty keyboards + trackballs are enough moving parts to break. |
07:16.44 | grey- | but at least they have less travel and thus lower likelihood of more force being exerted to break them. |
07:16.57 | rwhitby | drop the trackball - to hard to move it with the thumb on a bumpy bus |
07:17.08 | grey- | I really like the trackball usage with the ui |
07:17.32 | grey- | but the touch/drag/scroll on the touchscreen I find myself using a LOT more than the trackball, which is something I never expected. |
07:17.54 | grey- | even with my samsung i730 I rarely used the touchscreen (needed a stylus basically, huge pain in the ass). I really like the android touch ui implementation. |
07:18.13 | grey- | people complain about it not being as smooth as the iphone. |
07:18.16 | grey- | or the lack of multitouch... |
07:18.31 | grey- | but seems very smooth already and I'm sure it can/will improve. |
07:18.43 | grey- | and well there's all that stuff about the multitouch already, so who knows where that will lead. (: |
07:19.15 | grey- | I think the biggest irony, one of the reasons I bought earlier was to make sure I could maintain local root by getting a pre-RC30 device. |
07:20.00 | grey- | and yet, I really haven't had any use for local root at all so far; I'm more pleased with the g1/android basically stock than I've been with any other phone I've had, despite some annoyances, they're leagues better than shit I've used in the past. |
07:20.11 | grey- | <PROTECTED> |
07:20.31 | grey- | I s'pose if it were more broken I'd be inspired to hack on it more though. |
07:22.25 | grey- | goes back to late night work of hacking on new antispam system for work. |

08:44.05 | Leeds | that is correct |
08:44.14 | Leeds | DJTachyon: ping? |

08:48.27 | anno^da_ | Hmm well I have tried that. Settings are lower than you mentioned at the moment |
08:48.50 | anno^da_ | The video player just doesn't recognizes the files |

09:19.44 | anno^da_ | Who long does the battery last for you without doing much? |
09:19.52 | anno^da_ | oops How long.. |
09:20.07 | tauno | I'm getting like <24h with no gps, no wifi and not that much usage (no video and no web browsing, only DL'ing some apps from market and checking them out for a few minutes each) |
09:20.48 | tauno | doing a full charge cycle currently and monitoring exactly how long it lasts |
09:20.53 | anno^da_ | Ok well I have to use it like a normal mobile the next days. And compare this kind of usage to my old phones. |
09:22.43 | anno^da_ | grrrr is someone using handbrake here to encode the videos? |
09:22.58 | snadge | im ircing from my g1, in bed :P |
09:23.02 | tauno | conversations with coworkers are always like: "wow.. this is the new thing they call the G1? yes? how long does the battery last? <24h? WTF dude.. don't be kidding!" |
09:23.59 | snadge | i have a car charger, and an external battery thing that apparently holds 3 full charges |
09:24.03 | anno^da_ | snadge: how is the name of the irc app? :) |
09:24.27 | snadge | im using connectbot (ssh) |
09:24.33 | anno^da_ | tauno: well you wont have more with the iPhone |
09:24.55 | tauno | not much iPhone users here so people find it really strange that the phone can't handle at least a (work)week without charging.. everybody uses Nokias smartphones so they are used to long lasting batteries :/ |
09:25.06 | anno^da_ | So for the things the phone does the battery life is ok. |
09:25.20 | anno^da_ | Well but the Nokias dont do the same things. |
09:25.29 | anno^da_ | So the comparison is not really fair. |
09:26.20 | snadge | if i use the camera, that seems to dsr |
09:26.39 | snadge | drain it good |
09:27.02 | tauno | anno^da_, well.. it does not have touchscreen but everything else it can do just fine or better :) (web browsing, youtube, mail, video, mp3 playback, fm radio, etc etc) |
09:27.22 | tauno | nokia I mean |
09:27.35 | snadge | hard to use this tiny little keyboard and laggy ssh session |
09:27.39 | tauno | ..and the screen is way smaller :( |
09:28.26 | snadge | but hey.. im in bed and ircing from my phone. novelty++ |
09:29.22 | anno^da_ | tauno: well the screen costs a lot of battery |
09:30.45 | tauno | (snadge, SSH on a mobile is nothing new (there's a j2me ssh app available for like ages)) |
09:30.50 | tauno | anno^da_, indeed |
09:31.22 | Leeds | DarkriftX: I did a very easy battery test... unplugged my phone at 10am yesterday, didn't plug it back in... |
09:32.08 | snadge | that explains why screen fades down quickly, and turns off |
09:32.19 | Leeds | after a normal day (one call, some SMS, some IM, about an hour of audio playing, some games, some browsing...) it was at 10% 24 hours later |
09:32.37 | tauno | anno^da_, it's just that the G1 has less features than some Nokias but the battery lasts ~5x less.. is it really the display that takes all the juice or is there something else that can be tweaked (like in the core OS) to get it to last a little longer? |
09:32.50 | Leeds | there is tweaking going on |
09:32.54 | Leeds | what features are you missing? |
09:33.29 | snadge | Perhaps nokia has bigger battery |
09:34.08 | DarkriftX | im not trying to test it, i wanted to drain it and recharge it |
09:34.57 | Mony | <snadge> but hey.. im in bed and ircing from my phone. novelty++ |
09:35.01 | snadge | i also heard that nokia has bad bat life, if u use internet, gps etc |
09:35.12 | Leeds | DarkriftX: trying to do a discharge/charge cycle? |
09:35.18 | Mony | snadge, i did't know there is irc client for android |
09:35.29 | Mony | could you give me a hint? :) |
09:35.42 | snadge | im using irc via ssh |
09:36.13 | Mony | irssi or bitchx? :D |
09:36.19 | sparkle | screen :D |
09:36.19 | tauno | Leeds, I'm personally not missing anything (since I use my personal phone for only calling and a few SMS per month) but if you just compare the G1 to some Nokias feature-by-feature, the G1 lacks aGPS, FM radio, video recording, (camera) flash, "apps on SD card" etc.. |
09:36.52 | sparkle | also actual productivity apps - being able to work with word/excel/ppt docs, acrobat viewer, flash |
09:37.00 | Leeds3dot0 | video recording will come... apps on SD will come... other apps will come |
09:37.03 | sparkle | a full featured bluetooth implementation |
09:37.08 | Leeds3dot0 | FM radio is pointless |
09:37.09 | tauno | snadge, yes, Nokia has a "bad" battery life if you use wifi and gps and stuff.. but it then still beats my G1 when NOT using these features on my G1 :( |
09:37.15 | Leeds3dot0 | the bluetooth is being worked on |
09:37.22 | sparkle | sure |
09:37.27 | tauno | Leeds3dot0, FM radio is pointless to YOU :) |
09:37.38 | Leeds3dot0 | what is fair to say is that android/G1 is not really ready for mass market yet |
09:37.48 | sparkle | shrugs |
09:37.57 | Leeds3dot0 | tauno: it's very almost 2009... internet radio won |
09:37.59 | sparkle | think of it as positioned not against high end WM phones and the iphone |
09:38.04 | sparkle | but low end handsets |
09:38.08 | sparkle | mass market |
09:38.17 | Leeds3dot0 | but it's a smartphone |
09:38.46 | sparkle | the line is getting blurred though |
09:38.49 | tauno | Leeds3dot0, I know that it's been worked on.. I'm just saying that RIGHT NOW a phone that has less features and costs more, has a 5x smaller battery.. I don't blame android,, it's just the G1 hardware (or is the OS really wasting battery?) |
09:39.02 | sparkle | and by a lot of definitions it's not much of a smartphone, more of an "internetphone" |
09:39.16 | Leeds3dot0 | the OS is a lot less efficient than it could be |
09:39.29 | Leeds3dot0 | hmm... wonder if anyone knows - is the kernel tickless? |
09:39.35 | sparkle | yes |
09:39.46 | Leeds3dot0 | yes it's tickless? |
09:40.00 | tauno | yes, "anyone knows" (; |
09:40.48 | Leeds3dot0 | anyway, there are things being worked on right now which should significantly improve battery life |
09:40.49 | sparkle | CONFIG_NO_HZ=y |
09:40.54 | sparkle | yes, it is tickless |
09:41.13 | sparkle | and while it doesn't have the native linux speed scaling turned on in the .25 release, there is a crude sliding scale |
09:41.17 | sparkle | depending on display sleep state, etc |
09:41.20 | Leeds3dot0 | but the big drains are things like the screen and radios, and there isn't that much you can do about them |

09:46.35 | sparkle | an open platform with a wide range of productivity and business applications - basically a mini laptop |
09:46.45 | Leeds3dot0 | anno^da_: +25% should be relatively easy, +50% should be doable, I'd say |
09:47.01 | sparkle | something that's useful standalone as well as on the net |
09:47.11 | anno^da_ | That would be nice. It would be ok for me to get 2-3 days when doing nothing with the phone. |
09:47.43 | anno^da_ | (switched of gps,bt,wlan) Just radio for incoming calls and sms |
09:47.59 | Leeds3dot0 | sparkle: whereas I'd say a phone on which the OS is exposed to third-party applications - a general-purpose portable computing device in the form of a phone |
09:48.01 | anno^da_ | (I know that this is NOT the normal usage scenario) |
09:48.16 | Leeds3dot0 | the range of applications is irrelevent to whether the device itself is a smartphone |

09:50.28 | sparkle | except that they don't |
09:50.35 | Leeds | don't they? |

16:43.18 | Phlogi | it does not show :p |

16:46.15 | Phlogi | Decavolt: yes, there I can only do some IP settings... three is no information there at all |
16:47.02 | Decavolt | No, IP address, gateway, netmask and two DNS listings are there. What else do you want? |
16:47.37 | Phlogi | Decavolt: I want to see what dns information my phone received and uses after it has connected to a network, and that information is not available |
16:48.02 | Decavolt | Phlogi: of ypi |
16:48.14 | Phlogi | Decavolt: what? |
16:48.18 | Decavolt | (typo) |
16:48.55 | Decavolt | if you're connecting to wifi via DHCP, you're connection will use whatever DNS servers your router is using. You can set specific DNS servers (different) in the menu I mentioned above. |
16:48.56 | Phlogi | I have no idea why the connection does not work... so I guessed its maybe a dns issue... |
16:49.09 | Phlogi | Decavolt: Yes I know |
16:49.12 | Decavolt | is this your own wifi router? |
16:49.18 | Phlogi | Decavolt: its my laptop |
16:49.34 | Decavolt | as a host for the phoen? |

16:49.54 | Phlogi | exactly. Its not the first time I'm doing this and I'm actualy familiar with it |
16:50.10 | Phlogi | so my dhcp server is configured... |
16:50.45 | Decavolt | first time or not, what other info are you looking for? The IP settings pane on the G1 shows you everything. |
16:51.09 | Phlogi | Decavolt: subnet mask, dns servers and so on |
16:51.18 | Decavolt | DNS servers are there. |
16:51.21 | Phlogi | maybe even mac adress of router |
16:51.26 | Phlogi | Decavolt: here not! |
16:51.56 | Phlogi | Decavolt: where exactly? That advanced thing is not to get the dns server but to set everything statically! |
16:52.01 | Phlogi | as far as I understand it |
16:52.14 | Phlogi | i can get inofmarion about connection when I click on the wifi |
16:52.25 | Phlogi | but says only the essid and ip adress and signal strength |
16:52.54 | Decavolt | DNS info, when using DHCP, defaults to whatever your router is set to. In other words, it's NOT filled in on the client unless you specify alternate addresses. |
16:53.06 | Decavolt | so check your router (the laptop) if you want to know what DNS servers it's using |
16:53.24 | *** join/#android offby1` (n=user@q-static-138-125.avvanta.com) |

17:22.09 | blau-MikeDG | nope |
17:23.13 | andyross | Probably not strictly true. The source for the existing ones is there, so you could study and emulate. Probably can't add yourself to the registry or whatnot though. You'd have to spawn it some other way. |
17:23.30 | jasta | bgupta: i dont recommend you interrupt a firmware update |
17:26.16 | bgupta | jasta: I have already yanked the battery.... It keeps trying to restart the firmware update everytime I put the battery back in. The phone loses 90% of it's coolness factor if it can't be jailbroken... chances are if I can't get this interrupted I'll switch to a jailbroken iPhone. I am willing to risk brickification to keep b29 |
17:26.24 | RyeBrye | bgupta - it will continue to do that |
17:27.09 | Lenolium | bgupta: Didn't you install the sudo/su utility while you had root? |
17:27.11 | RyeBrye | bgupta - you need to put the full update.zip for rc29 on your sdcard and then boot with that holding down power + home and then hit alt+L alt+S to get ti to use the SD card one - this might work |

17:48.47 | snadge | im indecisive about doing that or just using official one |
17:50.14 | andyross | You can always choose to downgrade to the official version at a later time. Having installed it, you can never get root back. I'd say "indecision" argues heavily for using the modded firmware. :) |
17:50.53 | blau-MikeDG | grrr |
17:52.15 | bgupta | It would probably be a decent bet, that someone somewhere will eventually figure out how, or leak out how to get root on a b30+ device. Sadly we have no idea when that will be, so go with modded. |

17:52.46 | snadge | true, i will do that when i get back to australian in a few days |
17:53.08 | RyeBrye | bgupta - if you are on RC29 now, you can't downgrade to RC28 regardless |
17:53.10 | blau-MikeDG | is that an email address? |

17:54.10 | Decavolt | I've never had fast + stable ssh connections on my G1 |
17:54.12 | RyeBrye | bgupta - but if it is already seeing files in /cache and using those instead of letting you pick to use the SDcard, you might be screwed - unless you let it verify and then start flashing but then cause it to fail flashing by pulling the battery - but that's pretty dangerous |

I was hoping the Android would usher in a whole new era of mobile opens source hackery... I can understand why they want to make the official supported method of app dev "Java", but OTOH locking down is really uncool. |
18:00.03 | blau-MikeDG | ur uncool |
18:00.08 | Decavolt | snadge: then define "fiddly" |
18:00.39 | snadge | its early days yet, you wait and see what competing devices will do for aqndroid |
18:01.02 | jbq | bgupta: the key here is that the G1 isn't a Google device, it's a T-Mobile device. |
18:01.12 | snadge | small screen and keyboard takes a little getting used to |
18:01.23 | michaelnovakjr | bgupta: how could you say the iPhone is more open? |
18:01.29 | jasta | bgupta: android itself is not the problem. the fact that traditional carriers are launching those devices is. anyone could come along and build an uber hackable android phone if they so chose |
18:01.33 | jasta | and launch it independent of the carriers |
18:01.43 | jasta | and quite honestly in a year or so i expect we will see things like that |
18:01.55 | andyross | bgupta: You're conflating a few different things. The fact that the phone doesn't have root and isn't user-reflashable is a carrier restriction as much as anything. And it's annoying. But the use of Java is unrelated -- you can write native code just fine on the G1, albeit without an official SDK. |
18:02.57 | snadge | i really like my g1.. i wanted a smartphone that doesn't run windows.. it delivers ;) |
18:03.12 | michaelnovakjr | i have an iPhone and a G1..... the G1 is better |

18:25.05 | bgupta | OK, I may have found a loophole... seems that after rc30 installs if you keep hitting Alt-S it prevents the device from rebooting. and let's you into the real recovery console. at which point you can do the install from SD. Fingers crossed, trying to reboot after doing the sdcard update to rc29.. (From an RC30 that hadn't been rebooted yet) |

20:19.59 | andyross | Not sure why GPL userspace code would be a pain, given that you're locked into the license already by the kernel... |
20:20.23 | Disconnect | "a major pain" how? tivo can manage it (with way more closed apps than android, and a mix of gpl/lgpl/bsd userspace) |

20:21.15 | andyross | The point being I can understand why a proprietary vendor would decide against the GPL as a whole. But making a distinction between the kernel and userspace for where the GPL is appropriate seems specious. |
