| 08:26.54 | psycho_oreos | fyi:ãhttp://gerrymoth.co.uk/?p=278 |
| 08:27.09 | psycho_oreos | that's how one is supposed to add it into their HAM/fapman :) |
| 08:27.39 | psycho_oreos | but the technical good thing about adding the repository just for one package is that it makes apt take care of the guesswork |
| 08:28.52 | DocScrutinizer | the bad thing is neither ham nor fapman are meant to handle long lists of catalogs in a non-sucking manner |
| 08:30.03 | psycho_oreos | indeed |
| 08:30.11 | DocScrutinizer | and each additional repo adds chances your daily (hourly?) automatic check for updates will fail due to one of them being temporarily not available, or simply fsackdup |
| 08:30.42 | psycho_oreos | though with all that in mind, fapman still handles better than HAMãoverall, afterall fapman is basically a GUI over apt-* tools |
| 08:32.08 | DocScrutinizer | with all the problems this introduces. There's a reason HAM does additional things fapman doesn't bother to take care about. That's why fapman fails on some packages, also why sometimes fapman completely messes up all your database |
| 08:33.07 | *** join/#maemo M4rtinK (~M4rtinK@mail.melf.eu) |
| 08:33.45 | DocScrutinizer | ham as well is a gui with apt-get backend |

| 08:35.16 | flailingmonkey | i have to say that with zypper i don't find myself missing apt :p |

| 08:36.40 | DocScrutinizer | yup |
| 08:36.48 | flailingmonkey | i know, but one thing people got grumpy about with the whole deb vs. rpm thing was they wouldn't have apt |
| 08:37.09 | DocScrutinizer | I couldn't care less, and I'm not joining in to the daily deb vs rpm flamewar :-D |
| 08:37.12 | flailingmonkey | yum... doesn't cut it IMO |
| 08:38.04 | mece | as far as I'm concerned apt == yum, aptitude == zypper |
| 08:38.14 | flux | docscrutinizer, but some things make HAM needlessly slow. for example it is not possible to choose a batch of packages to install. |
| 08:38.33 | mece | flux, didn't they add that in pr1.3? |
| 08:38.38 | flux | oh, nice :-) |
| 08:38.43 | mece | maybe not. |
| 08:38.46 | mece | I don't use ham |
| 08:38.49 | DocScrutinizer | flux: I thought I pretty clearly stated above there are such idiotic flaws in HAM, yes |
| 08:39.14 | flux | also, another thing that has annoyed about apt/dpkg in general is that apparently binary databases are the evil |
| 08:39.19 | mece | DocScrutinizer, I think the slow refresh is the biggest problem |
| 08:39.35 | flux | but perhaps it's just a matter of someone writing an sqlite backend for it :) (and breaking tons of tools in the process perhaps) |
| 08:40.24 | mece | I think ham would be ok if all the lists were cached and automagically refreshed in the background (if set to do so) evey now and then, and when the app is launched the cached lists are shown. |

| 08:41.49 | DocScrutinizer | though showing a cached list while updating in background was a really smart thing to do |
| 08:41.50 | psycho_oreos | I thought HAM heavily relies on its internal apt-worker.real program. Though with red pill enabled I saw an option to make HAM use apt-get algorithms |

| 09:05.07 | psycho_oreos | vi__, its nothing of any particular interest but it seems like xloader may check some info, though most of which are purely debugging (r&d), memtesting and loading kernel purposes |

| 09:06.32 | psycho_oreos | vi__, I saw this as a string, I really don't know if its of any use to you:ãgpio_switch_config has zero length! |

| 09:19.39 | DocScrutinizer | yes, that's what it's all about |
| 09:20.06 | DocScrutinizer | and I'd think mtd_debug has all the magic built in |
| 09:20.26 | robbiethe1st | Well, you *can* use it as a block device, but it won't preserve/handle bad blocks etc. |
| 09:20.54 | vi__ | Imma gonna ask a question |
| 09:21.21 | psycho_oreos | what now confuses me is that most likely prior to mounting these ubifs images is whether or not when after examining NAND chip and found a few PEB be added into the NANDãor because its handled in its own unique way that the actual bad PEB is skipped out |
| 09:21.32 | vi__ | so I use flasher to unpack the rootfs firmware image and find a jffs2 'blob' |
| 09:21.42 | DocScrutinizer | so now robbie could finally revert to / add optional handling of raw images to backupmenu, as it was in the very beginning and gut bashed for using dd and thus potentially doing harm to NAND as it didn't know to handle bad blocks |
| 09:21.55 | psycho_oreos | its not jffs2 blob, its ubifs for N900 :) |
| 09:22.07 | psycho_oreos | true |

| 09:22.50 | robbiethe1st | Yea |
| 09:22.50 | psycho_oreos | s/few/few\ bad/ |
| 09:23.15 | vi__ | so are we any closer to creating custom firmware images that we can flash? |
| 09:23.25 | psycho_oreos | doubt it |
| 09:23.26 | vi__ | ^*noob question* |
| 09:23.52 | robbiethe1st | IIRC, we could already do that. |
| 09:24.19 | robbiethe1st | It requires a Linux PC, mtd-utils, a tarball of files and a couple of commands |
| 09:24.33 | vi__ | I have all these things |
| 09:24.40 | vi__ | where is documentation? |

| 09:25.03 | DocScrutinizer | robbiethe1st: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1072242&postcount=14 |
| 09:25.04 | robbiethe1st | Yes. |
| 09:25.34 | vi__ | can I shove my own kernel into the image as well? |
| 09:26.21 | robbiethe1st | Yes and no: we don't yet know how to make a "combined" image, but we can flash kernel and rootfs independantly with flasher |
| 09:26.28 | robbiethe1st | those are both doable |
| 09:26.54 | robbiethe1st | the kernel's not anything special; just grab the file from any N900 kernel deb package |

| 12:04.41 | DocScrutinizer | yoh, doesn't matter. I don't want to find out what's the kernel I got, I simply want to vreate a backup of it that I can restore any time |
| 12:04.56 | vi__ | DocScrutinizer: wait, can't you just dd /dev/mtd0 to somthing? |
| 12:05.26 | vi__ | DocScrutinizer: yes, but if the problem is you cant read it from the device, you have to get it from elsewhere] |

| 13:53.49 | Sazpaimon | i dropped the corner of my laptop battery charger on my N900 and it broke right through the screen |
| 13:53.51 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: quick check makes me think that's a capital bug in modest mail client |
| 13:54.17 | Sazpaimon | so I need a replacement digitizer AND screen |
| 13:54.32 | GunArm | doc hmm ok |
| 13:54.34 | Sazpaimon | because the digitizer has a nice big crack on it |
| 13:55.37 | DocScrutinizer | Sazpaimon: this is only the digitizer though |
| 13:55.48 | DocScrutinizer | prize looks good |
| 13:56.21 | Sazpaimon | DocScrutinizer, you sure? |
| 13:56.26 | DocScrutinizer | Sazpaimon: you'll need an LCD as well, if that's also broken |
| 13:56.32 | DocScrutinizer | yes I'm sure |
| 13:56.33 | Sazpaimon | oh yeah, you're right |
| 13:56.59 | Sazpaimon | well in that case |

| 13:57.47 | DocScrutinizer | indeed |
| 13:58.10 | DocScrutinizer | you'll gasp when you find out about the LCD though |
| 13:58.27 | Sazpaimon | is it a crazy hard repalcement job? |
| 13:58.31 | Sazpaimon | or expensive |
| 13:58.33 | DocScrutinizer | not really |
| 13:58.49 | DocScrutinizer | just friggin 100++ bucks for LCD iirc |
| 13:59.18 | Sazpaimon | http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-Nokia-N900-LCD-p/nkia3063750.htm google says this is $43 |
| 13:59.41 | DocScrutinizer | so you *might* be better off with a used broken N900 with a good scratchfree screen |

| 14:33.50 | DocScrutinizer | err |
| 14:33.59 | DocScrutinizer | tornado |
| 14:34.00 | Arkenoi | my n900 is acting weird: if you fully charge it after almost complete battery drain, and then remove charger, for a brief period of time it thinks that battery is empty and tries to shut itself down! |
| 14:34.00 | DocScrutinizer | blizzard |
| 14:34.48 | DocScrutinizer | YAY |
| 14:35.34 | DocScrutinizer | define "brief" |
| 14:36.24 | GunArm | ever notice how unpredicable charging is with non-nokia-sanctioned wall-to-usb cables? i have to plug-unplug between 8 and 15 times before it starts charging? |
| 14:36.48 | DocScrutinizer | (I suspect a defect cell with rather high Z, so removing charger makes it drop a lot of voltage) |
| 14:37.00 | GunArm | the nokia cable starts charging right away |
| 14:37.06 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: nonsense |
| 14:37.26 | Arkenoi | DocScrutinizer: a second or two. sometimes it really shuts off (it apparently does not understand that battery was really charged and shows battery level that was straight before charging), sometimes it actually catches the fact that battery is fully charged now and works normally. |
| 14:38.21 | GunArm | docscrutinizer ...i used to have to do it every night before I found my nokia charger, my girlfriend would try to guess how many plugs it would take without going over, ie 9 |
| 14:38.39 | GunArm | same thing happens with non nokia cables plugged into a pc |
| 14:38.40 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: for no name chargers you either have D+- short then it shall work as with Nokia CA-10, or you don't have D+- short then I wonder if 15 mating rounds would make the N900 start charging at anything better than 100mA |
| 14:39.26 | crashanddie | GunArm, you believe in Jesus and that True Blood is secretly a hidden prophecy, right? |
| 14:39.26 | Arkenoi | i have two nokia chargers visually indistinguishable , one starts charging immediately, the second may do or may not |
| 14:39.36 | Mek | before my usb port started dying I had similar symptoms, but then with all nokia stuff; some nokia cables would still work easily, some would be much more problematic |
| 14:39.57 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: you got a defective USB plug or receptacle somewhere |
| 14:40.16 | GunArm | crashanddie, i believe in Jesus in the sense that he is a made up person |
| 14:41.26 | GunArm | docscrutinizer what is a D+-short? |
| 14:41.50 | crashanddie | I've started lobbying my local government to make it a requirement to print "All characters in this book are fictional" in all Bibles. |
| 14:41.51 | DocScrutinizer | dang, with charging from wallcharger there's definitely noting beyond 4 contacts with wires attached, one minus, one plus, and two shorted to each other |
| 14:42.18 | chem|st | GunArm: D is the data pins on the cable |
| 14:42.21 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: the data lines of USB, the middle 2 pins of a standard A USB |
| 14:42.28 | GunArm | oh i see |
| 14:42.42 | GunArm | so to charge we get ground, power and then short the two data pins |
| 14:42.50 | chem|st | yes |
| 14:42.53 | GunArm | interestink |
| 14:43.25 | GunArm | if the datapins dont short, it wont charge? |
| 14:43.45 | GunArm | maybe one of the data pin prongs on that wire was malformed |
| 14:43.52 | DocScrutinizer | sometimes when you mate sloppy, it doesn't detect the D+- short and comes up with "mass storage / PC mode" requester as it thinks it's a PC |
| 14:44.32 | GunArm | ah so no D+- sort and it should still react just not like it should to a wall |
| 14:44.50 | GunArm | it wouldnt react at all until that magical 13th mating |
| 14:45.20 | GunArm | its not really an issue now since i found my real cable, im just curiuos. I lived with this for 6 months every night |
| 14:45.52 | GunArm | when it was mated and didnt react, no amount of wiggling the cable would make it react, |
| 14:46.22 | DocScrutinizer | actually scratch my mass-storage comment - it doesn't react at all to a wallcharger with missing D+- short |
| 14:46.31 | GunArm | it had to be reseated until it reacted, and then no amount of wiggling the cable seemed to make it lose its charging connection, so I took that to mean it wasnt a connector problem |
| 14:46.48 | DocScrutinizer | at least when battery is already charged (won't discharge it now, just to test ;-D) |
| 14:46.56 | GunArm | yes! |
| 14:46.58 | GunArm | actually |
| 14:47.24 | GunArm | come to think of it, when it was TOTALLY drained and off, it would charge from the first mating. I forgot about that, as I never wanted to let it actually die |
| 14:47.42 | GunArm | so its probably a malformed data pin on the cable |
| 14:48.14 | DocScrutinizer | usually noname wallwart chargers miss the D+- short, as do almost all car charger plugs |
| 14:48.39 | GunArm | yep, same experience with the car charger |
| 14:48.53 | DocScrutinizer | so your 13 mate cycles may be a 'magic incantation' to trick N900 into seeing sth that's not there |
| 14:49.17 | DocScrutinizer | you *could* even call that a bug then |
| 14:49.28 | GunArm | lol that it ever worked you mean? |
| 14:49.32 | DocScrutinizer | yes |
| 14:50.21 | DocScrutinizer | it's a somewhat silly spec by Nokia, but N900 isn't supposed to work with chargers that don't have D+- short |
| 14:50.21 | GunArm | or maybe it had the d+- short, but one of the pins wasnt reliably connecting |
| 14:50.38 | GunArm | so 1/10 trys it would actually seat |

| 14:54.02 | DocScrutinizer | nope |
| 14:54.07 | crashanddie | Let's check the latest news on openmoko... Android, Android, Debian, QtMoko that now has the ability to connect to wifi more than once every reboot w00p w00p! |
| 14:54.07 | GunArm | after my experience with the n900, i have mixed feelings about open source phones |
| 14:54.27 | DocScrutinizer | N900 hw is all but open |
| 14:54.28 | yacc | GunArm, how so? |
| 14:54.44 | crashanddie | DocScrutinizer, it's a shame though, for me OpenMoko was an amazing project, diseased by a stupid lead team. |
| 14:54.52 | yacc | Actually, n900 is a mixed batch quality-wise anyway, ... |
| 14:55.12 | crashanddie | I bought two full on dev kits of the openmoko |
| 14:55.20 | DocScrutinizer | crashanddie: indeed |
| 14:55.22 | crashanddie | after 3 months and still no news of delivery, I asked for my money back |
| 14:55.31 | crashanddie | Took another 2 months before I got it, but at least I got it back. |
| 14:55.56 | GunArm | when I describe my phone to people, because no one has ever heard of the n900 or its platform, i tell them that its a full linux kernel, that was unsuccessful because the apps are totally free, you download them like softoware out of an ubuntu repo, and the problem is that theres no commercial drive for developers to make them work well or make very many of them |
| 14:56.09 | GunArm | the lack of commercial development incentive is a killer |
| 14:56.10 | DocScrutinizer | crashanddie: duh what? OM never ever accepted prepayment |

| 14:57.25 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: I'm actually SOOO happy about that |
| 14:57.38 | GunArm | what do you mean |
| 14:57.43 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: unbearable to have 3176 fart apps for maemo |
| 14:57.50 | GunArm | thats true |
| 14:58.10 | DocScrutinizer | I think we got some 1000 apps in repos for fremantle |
| 14:58.17 | GunArm | but with the fart apps and "the hangover" sound boards, you also get useful apps that have gone through full dev cycle and QA |
| 14:58.19 | DocScrutinizer | not all of them are great |
| 14:58.28 | GunArm | the n900 has such sweet hardware |
| 14:58.33 | DocScrutinizer | but I'm actually not missing any 'commercial drive' |
| 14:58.34 | GunArm | but lack of the ability to use half of it |
| 14:58.45 | crashanddie | The N900 has never been plagued by the lack of software, nor the fact that the software was free. |
| 14:58.52 | crashanddie | That is seriously, the least problem of the N900. |
| 14:58.57 | GunArm | i seriously disagree |
| 14:59.04 | GunArm | ive been using this phone for 2 years |
| 14:59.28 | GunArm | and i feel like every app or software is developed JUST enough to show your friend "hey look how cool this is" but not enough to actually use |
| 14:59.39 | GunArm | i was NEVER able to get irreco to work |
| 14:59.47 | crashanddie | Yes, and that has nothing to with monetisation. |
| 14:59.50 | DocScrutinizer | just works fine here |
| 14:59.56 | crashanddie | (same here) |
| 15:00.02 | javispedro | yeah, bad example |
| 15:00.06 | crashanddie | Because nothing ever stopped devs from implementing licensing inside the apps themselves. |
| 15:00.11 | DocScrutinizer | modulo the weak IR LED |
| 15:00.30 | DocScrutinizer | crashanddie: indeed |
| 15:00.31 | crashanddie | What fucked Maemo up is the amount of choices to make when you wanted to dev for it. |
| 15:00.45 | crashanddie | A crooked development environment (scratchbox), and TOO MANY CHOICES. |
| 15:00.47 | javispedro | disagrees |
| 15:00.56 | crashanddie | People come here, and asked "How do I develop for Maemo?" |
| 15:00.57 | Jaffa | Af'noon all |
| 15:00.59 | DocScrutinizer | there's been sygic and a lot of people were willing to spend money on it |
| 15:00.59 | javispedro | none of the choices worked |
| 15:01.13 | crashanddie | On Android, iPhone, you get one development environment, simulator, whatnot. |
| 15:01.19 | DocScrutinizer | same for angry birds level packs |
| 15:01.21 | javispedro | crashanddie: if you have a great "favoured" choice for newbies all is well, the number doesn't matter at all. |
| 15:01.26 | crashanddie | One language, mainly, with examples, and bam, you're going. |
| 15:01.29 | DocScrutinizer | hi Jaffa |
| 15:01.41 | crashanddie | But people joining this channel, over the years, asking "How should I dev?" |

| 15:02.45 | DocScrutinizer | lol for flamewar - so true |

| 15:03.10 | crashanddie | 5 minutes later, the newbie asking for help would go away with a "/quit wtf fuck this, nerds" |
| 15:03.31 | crashanddie | and the community, it's geeky community everyone loved so much |
| 15:03.36 | crashanddie | is the only thing that drove Maemo into the wall. |
| 15:03.40 | DocScrutinizer | and finally luke-jr jumped in and explained to all of us Qt isn't a toolkit but a language |
| 15:03.46 | GunArm | for me with irreco its not just the hardware, the implementation of the software is TOO customizable, you have to find all the codes and then build the remote one button at a time, its so unintutive I couldnt even ever make it work with youtube tutorials, thats only one program but theres no alternatives, which is the sortof almost socialist problem with open source in general, a single community built solution without competition |
| 15:04.21 | GunArm | the only game that was ever worth playing that doesnt crash when you try to run it (like 50% of them) is numptyphysics |
| 15:04.27 | crashanddie | Because "free as in beer" is only good when the system is ready to roll. You need a framework to build something, and that is something that Maemo has never been able to offer. It gave you a dozen tools to build your own framework. |
| 15:05.11 | crashanddie | I mean, fuck me, one of the greatest tools to come out of Maemo is lcuk's liqbase, and he wrote everything from scratch, and it took him what, 15 years of thinking before he got his concept right. |
| 15:05.16 | GunArm | games are important on phones, more than even on computers for me, and open source games typically just dont get the dev time |
| 15:06.11 | GunArm | n900fly is a good game tho ;) |
| 15:06.21 | javispedro | the problem is that the current situation is not really improved much. |
| 15:06.37 | javispedro | we now have Qt that doesn't work, QML that works somethat, and MTF that works but is unteachable. |
| 15:06.53 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: there've been several IR-controls tailored to target exactly one appliance. Too bad none of them met your needs |
| 15:07.20 | crashanddie | GunArm, open source android games: andoku, asqare, caverns of fire, frozen bubble, hot death, knave arthur's sword, lexic, gymkhana, nethack, newton's cradle, opensudoku, wordsearch, replica island, robotfindskitten, netwalk, web wars, sokoban, etc |
| 15:07.46 | DocScrutinizer | GunArm: and in IRreco there's a huge online database with predefined control skins, if that doesn't have anything for you - well what can I say? |
| 15:08.51 | DocScrutinizer | I admit that online DB isn't exactly up to date and QA-cleaned in any way |
| 15:08.54 | GunArm | crashanddie, my opnion is that android has enough well developed commercial apps to make the phone ubiquitous enough to allow good opensource stuff on the side, but with the n900... maybe thats wrong because theres the ovi store, but it just never got the market penetration to get serious dev attention |
| 15:09.26 | javispedro | had hoped they'd settle on Qt, which is at least sanely designed. In fact, that's what I thought they were going to do and why I thought that despite being a Gtk+ fan the Qt move was a good idea. |
| 15:09.39 | javispedro | but however, first came MTF, and I died a little. Then QML. |
| 15:09.42 | DocScrutinizer | it got dev attention, it didn't get market droids attention |

| 15:10.54 | javispedro | on a commercial app without such heavy customization that would usually mean you don't get to use the remote at all or you get a plain skin that doesn't match the remote at all. |

| 15:21.54 | crashanddie | Sure, RedHat soon became an Inc, but it doesn't take away the fact that it all started because someone, at some point, thought, "fuck this, nothing is answering my problems, I'm going to do this myself". |
| 15:21.54 | javispedro | so the point is rather moot. |
| 15:22.35 | GunArm | regarding linux, it works because the platform is so big that it already has so many developers "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS", but how many decades did it take linux to become usable be the avarage person (let alone attractive) |

| 19:07.08 | NIN101 | it mounts the rootfs directly without the help of an initrd or something, executes the script /sbin/preinit which does "something" and finally runs init. |
| 19:09.26 | onen|openBmap | hi |
| 19:10.07 | onen|openBmap | tried to connect my n900 through car charger, but it does not charge. Has anyone a clue about this? |
| 19:10.53 | onen|openBmap | when using the same usb cable (but without the car plug adapter) on my laptop, the phone charges just fine |
| 19:11.02 | gnutoo | ok |

| 19:11.35 | onen|openBmap | same car adapter, with mini usb cable worked fine with my former phone... |
| 19:11.49 | gnutoo | *no initramfs/initrd |
| 19:12.15 | NIN101 | onen|openBmap: *IIRC* this is an known issue, but I am not familiar with the details. |
| 19:12.52 | onen|openBmap | NIN101: I have been thinking that the n900 might be peeky about current/voltage it detects... |
| 19:13.07 | onen|openBmap | NIN101: less tolerance than my former phone |
| 19:13.12 | gnutoo | onen|openBmap: it's because of USB |
| 19:13.20 | gnutoo | what's your car charger? |
| 19:13.26 | onen|openBmap | hi gnutoo |
| 19:13.34 | gnutoo | hi |
| 19:14.37 | gnutoo | basically if it's not a n900 official charger you have that: |
| 19:14.42 | onen|openBmap | well not sure, what details do you need? it is a kind of adapter that plug into a slot, which used to be designed for cigarette lightner. The other side regular usb, as on a computer |
| 19:15.04 | gnutoo | to get more than 100 mA there is the need of a negotiation between the phone and the usb charger |
| 19:15.14 | gnutoo | which doesn't happen |
| 19:15.22 | gnutoo | because it's a dumb charger |
| 19:15.35 | gnutoo | so the old phone may consume less than 100mA |
| 19:15.44 | gnutoo | and the n900 may consume more..... |

| 19:17.23 | gnutoo | battery charging is weired, that's true however n900 is not the only phone that consume more than 100mA |

| 19:19.20 | gnutoo | I must re-read the free charging scripts.... |
| 19:20.06 | gnutoo | basically or you negociate 500mA, you get 100mAm however.... |
| 19:20.08 | onen|openBmap | so I have to replace my car adapter, to something able to deliver more than 100mA. Does this exist? |
| 19:20.44 | gnutoo | there is a third way, you add a resistor in the charger like an official car charger and detect that |
| 19:20.56 | gnutoo | look at official n900 chargers if that exist |
| 19:21.08 | gnutoo | else there is an easy eay |
| 19:21.11 | gnutoo | *way |
| 19:21.26 | gnutoo | get a 12V->220v AC adapter |
| 19:21.43 | gnutoo | and put your n900 stock charger in the AC adapter plug |
| 19:21.59 | gnutoo | however that can be noisy as there is often a fan |
| 19:22.20 | onen|openBmap | IIRC the wall charger of n900 delivers 1200mA, while the one of my former phone delivers 1000mA. All the pieces of the puzzle fits ;-) |
| 19:22.40 | gnutoo | yes there is a resistor or something like that in the charger |
| 19:22.55 | gnutoo | it's detected by the phone |
| 19:23.00 | gnutoo | I think it's in the kenrel |
| 19:23.16 | gnutoo | so it know it can take more than 100mA |
| 19:23.23 | gnutoo | and it does |
| 19:24.06 | onen|openBmap | and about the universal charger for mobile phone which has been decided (at least in Europe for what I know), will it work with n900? |
| 19:24.36 | gnutoo | hmmm I don't know that part enough.... |
| 19:25.05 | gnutoo | maybe there is an universal resistor value, no idea.... |
| 19:25.16 | gnutoo | maybe wikipedia has the answer at the USB article tough |
| 19:25.25 | gnutoo | look at micro-usb |

| 21:14.34 | SpeedEvil | idly wonders about a meego dev program. |
| 21:14.42 | javispedro | shudders at the idea that now the only alternate acceptable platform is android |
| 21:14.48 | SpeedEvil | 'take this, and do anything with it! Quickly! Please! |
| 21:14.55 | SpeedEvil | Indeed. |
| 21:15.14 | SpeedEvil | Large players exiting the market is a terrible thing. |
| 21:15.44 | javispedro | I might be crazy, but if in two years I have to choose between Android and Apple, I would choose Apple. |
| 21:16.10 | SpeedEvil | On what grounds? |
| 21:16.28 | GeneralAntilles | javispedro, me too. |
| 21:16.32 | GeneralAntilles | It being less shit. |
| 21:16.48 | javispedro | so let's hope tomorrow the tide brings something new the same the tide today took away another platform. |
| 21:17.26 | javispedro | SpeedEvil: mostly same as GeneralAntilles; and I like Apple's arch from a designer PoV more than Android's. |
| 21:17.31 | javispedro | s/designer/architect ;) |
| 21:17.53 | GeneralAntilles | Android can't even run smoothly on a dual-1GHz Cortex-A9 with 1GB of RAM. |
| 21:19.08 | GeneralAntilles | Usability wise it's shit, too. |
| 21:19.10 | nid0 | well, hopefully in 2 years ms's offering will be a viable third choice at least |
| 21:19.14 | javispedro | It is a clusterfsck. It is more similar to old PalmOS or RIM's stuff than a new mobile platform. |
| 21:19.20 | GeneralAntilles | nid0, good luck with that. |
| 21:19.24 | javispedro | hah! |
| 21:19.24 | ShadowJK | wonders if google's "own" phones run/ran it smooth |
| 21:19.41 | GeneralAntilles | ShadowJK, Nexus One didn't. |
| 21:19.45 | GeneralAntilles | Android is just plain shityt. |
| 21:20.01 | javispedro | Nokia/HP might abandon lesser-used platforms, |
| 21:20.05 | javispedro | but microsoft does the opposite |
| 21:20.16 | nid0 | I dont see the problem, their ui's infinitely nicer than android and far smoother, and if mango's any indication theyre piling the features on |
| 21:20.23 | javispedro | if WP7 ever reaches spot#1, they will say their job is done and abandon it. |
| 21:20.33 | javispedro | see IE6, see WinMo 6.5 |

| 21:21.13 | DocScrutinizer | meh, what's that fuss about left over platforms? Aren't we "the community", don't we do our own platform? |
| 21:21.25 | nid0 | well, ie6 was job done, there was no value to them in producing the next version of a free browser that brings them no direct income and had no competition |

| 21:23.11 | jacekowski | i'm surprised that it took them so long |

| 21:24.10 | javispedro | jacekowski: wince is slightly more unixy than win32 |
| 21:24.25 | javispedro | for a start, they expose devices as files and have a single filesystem tree. |

| 21:31.43 | DocScrutinizer | just wonders if that'S just him or actually the mood and topics in this chan |
| 21:31.51 | javispedro | jacekowski: so you are saying gnu glibc on a phone is a disaster? |
| 21:31.52 | jacekowski | javispedro: but android isn't really your typical linux |

| 21:32.35 | jacekowski | ask normal users |
| 21:32.47 | jacekowski | somehow palm pre didn't sell as good as android phones |
| 21:32.55 | ShadowJK | I remember cursing at how slow gtk was drawing xchat on my PC, and shaking my head at those lunatics that wanted to run linux on phones. Then I got the N810 with Linuc+GTK, and it was about 5 times more responsive than my Symbian cellphone :-) |
| 21:33.10 | nid0 | well, the palm pre had the distinct disadvantage that the actual phone was shit |
| 21:33.16 | DocScrutinizer | jacekowski: android is definitely NOT linux, esp wrt to embedded-relating properties |

| 21:37.56 | DocScrutinizer | ...that N900 was even better if it had kept N810's formfactor |
| 21:38.06 | ShadowJK | I thought Win7M was silverlight |
| 21:38.07 | javispedro | "do stuff" was technically possible even on old PalmOS. |
| 21:38.32 | javispedro | how painless it is, that's another story. |
| 21:39.16 | DocScrutinizer | PalmOS was toxic architecture |
| 21:39.28 | ShadowJK | Well, the only way to do streaming audio was to dowmload a chunk, save as mp3, play back mp3 while downloading next file. There were gaps :P |
| 21:39.33 | javispedro | it was 1990's. |
| 21:39.45 | javispedro | same way android is 2000's. |
| 21:39.45 | DocScrutinizer | still |
| 21:40.02 | javispedro | will all the java and memory conserving crap. |
| 21:40.16 | javispedro | (and it still does it rather badly) |
| 21:40.35 | ShadowJK | then nokia made some new secret api to actually stream audio, and a net radio app, which only worked on a small subset of symbian, hooray :/ |
| 21:41.18 | javispedro | the only way to make background network activity on the PalmOS was to fake an audio stream so that your app was periodically called for new audio, so ;) |
| 21:43.12 | ShadowJK | can't wait to see how smoothly excel in silverlight runs ;D |

| 22:09.43 | Primes | trojan or not, some decisions coming out of nokia seem crazy. eg call yourself a burning platform, say your main OS is dead. Announce totally new product before availability, announce without ship for a year. Go with an OS that your rivals have not been able to succeed with. Make a new phone and discourage selling it in some countries. |
| 22:10.16 | DocScrutinizer | bada, according to raster, is a hickup, and according to what I read about it is a closed proprietary OS with a free SDK |

| 22:15.07 | lupine_85 | both of which are pretty flawed systems themselves |

| 22:19.38 | DocScrutinizer | nid0: prepaid aka PAYG never actually come as twin SIM |
| 22:19.54 | javispedro | DocScrutinizer: closed OS with free SDK: isn't that the definition of Maemo and Meego also ;) |
| 22:20.03 | DocScrutinizer | so your PAYG number is locked to one SIM formfactor |
| 22:20.18 | Primes | but 2 sims ie 2 networks have advantageous tariff eg international |

| 22:22.35 | nid0 | well, its gone stagnant. not many people yet seem to have picked up on the fact that hp are evidently wanting to transition to software and services, and webos is software. |
| 22:22.43 | nid0 | they just need an interested hardware vendor to use it |
| 22:23.43 | DocScrutinizer | nid0: my number never changed since 1999, and I still have that SIM that for sure is of the crackable generation - so IF I really bothered I probably could clone _that_one_ |
| 22:24.02 | DocScrutinizer | nid0: you see why I'd never swap it for a microsim |
| 22:24.33 | Primes | I have the old crackable 2G sim with a nice number. I don't think you can clone it into a 3G sim, too different |
| 22:24.56 | DocScrutinizer | meh, the SIM itself is all the same for 3G |
| 22:25.31 | Primes | yes for 3G (except some minor mem capacity difference) but 2G changed into 3G different |
| 22:25.34 | DocScrutinizer | it actually never really changed (except for power supply voltage) |
| 22:26.17 | Primes | that's what I thought voltage change. so I didn't want to bust my 3G n900 by inserting a 2G sim which could draw too much current |
| 22:26.37 | DocScrutinizer | nah, no problem |
| 22:26.57 | javispedro | a nokia care guy once told me the effect an older sim has on battery is noticeable |
| 22:27.12 | Primes | plausible |
| 22:27.23 | DocScrutinizer | sure |
| 22:27.28 | DocScrutinizer | it's a few mA |

| 22:28.27 | DocScrutinizer | not even the SIM :-) |
| 22:28.41 | DocScrutinizer | not even new SIM in old 3.3V phones |
| 22:28.55 | Primes | yeah new phones won't break old sim. But I'm not confident of the opposite. |

| 22:33.09 | DocScrutinizer | on Freerunner we had issues with some 3G cards, but that was due to modem firmware borked on clock freq negotiation with those particular types iirc |

| 22:34.45 | DocScrutinizer | javispedro: wazzup? |

| 22:35.50 | DocScrutinizer | no way |

| 22:36.10 | javispedro | if there's not a new fw someday it'll probably be relegated quite quickly. |
| 22:36.14 | Primes | hardware wise it's better. The software can catch up over time |
| 22:36.40 | Primes | the community can adapt it more, IF there are enough of the phones around |
| 22:36.40 | DocScrutinizer | odds are future OS versions have _more_ N950 specific flaws rather than less |
| 22:36.49 | javispedro | hardware wise sadly it's a bit on the underpowered side, save for the much appreciated RAM. |

| 23:01.28 | Primes | they now say it won't be in UK (my home) , finland (their home) or germany (linux hackers home) |
| 23:01.30 | Arkenoi | majority of people buys in local retail only, no internet orders |
| 23:01.57 | Arkenoi | and it was not available |
| 23:02.04 | DocScrutinizer | javispedro: you'd think that audio dude had to have access to the schematic details for all McBSP and analog audio crap |
| 23:02.13 | Arkenoi | (nor via the internet worldwide officially anyways) |
| 23:02.20 | Primes | maybe the networks and their stores don't want an "open" phone that supports multi network, voip, less "customisation" (crapware) |
| 23:03.09 | Arkenoi | Primes: no one gives a flying fsck to cellular network operators here in russia |
| 23:03.16 | Arkenoi | they do not control the market at all |
| 23:03.18 | javispedro | DocScrutinizer: so you're saying I should email the wl1273 fm driver author.. |
| 23:03.24 | Primes | most people buy subsidised phone on contract. The n9 is more like 600 GBP sim free |
| 23:03.27 | Arkenoi | and it is typical in EMEA as i understand it |
| 23:03.38 | DocScrutinizer | javispedro: yes, CC alsa author |
| 23:03.53 | javispedro | alsa author is TI, mostly |
| 23:04.04 | DocScrutinizer | CC PA author (though this prolly will be the same) |
| 23:04.05 | javispedro | except for wl1273 codec which is the same guy |
| 23:04.09 | Primes | I bought my phones without contracts. If not I'd unlock them anyway. |

| 23:11.35 | DocScrutinizer | try to find the guy who checked in the alsaped rules file (whatever been the real name of that cryptic crap), he's the one who definitely has to know *all* about audio |
| 23:13.32 | javispedro | oh |
| 23:13.35 | javispedro | this reminds me |
| 23:13.52 | javispedro | the alsaped files also hint about analog fmrx |
| 23:14.02 | javispedro | but I dunno whether it is a reminiscence of N900 or what. |
| 23:14.10 | javispedro | DocScrutinizer: grep fmrx and you'll see. |

| 23:15.37 | DocScrutinizer | CBA to download some *.sh.gz to find out about the FQNof alsaped file |
| 23:15.51 | javispedro | from that guy? |

| 23:17.45 | DocScrutinizer | thnx |
| 23:18.04 | DocScrutinizer | boots 950 |
| 23:18.34 | javispedro | ah, here it is. |
| 23:18.45 | javispedro | so you have two references to fmrx on the same file |
| 23:18.53 | javispedro | one mentions fmrx input via digital port aka codec |
| 23:18.58 | javispedro | wl127x codec |
| 23:19.04 | javispedro | the other mentions analog port aka hw0 |
| 23:19.12 | javispedro | (which is twl codec) |
| 23:20.03 | javispedro | it does correctly mention that BT HSP goes via wl127x, and a2dp goes via bluez. |
| 23:22.38 | DocScrutinizer | hmm |
| 23:23.44 | Jaffa | javispedro: Read http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75863? |
| 23:24.17 | javispedro | oh, first time there's more info on TMO than on the community mailing list! ;) |
| 23:24.46 | Jaffa | javispedro: Yeah, well SD69 fucked up the formatting, sending BBCode everywhere. So, for once, TMO has better formatting. It's entertaining in a mini-TMO kinda way |
| 23:24.54 | javispedro | (actually seems to be because the ml mail was misformatted and brain skipped it) |
