| 10:50.54 | sicelo | my N900 is on its way out. digitizer has some dead areas towards the top right corner. |
| 10:51.23 | DocScrutinizer51 | eeew |
| 10:51.48 | sicelo | with phone in landscape, pressing 2 or 5 in the Phone application doesn't work, even though the blue 'clicked' effect appears. |
| 10:52.28 | sicelo | to enter 2 or 5 i have to press slightly to the left of the digit, somewhere between 1 & 2 |
| 10:52.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | now that is strange |
| 10:54.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | you might want to read out raw X/Y/pendown values and compare to the actual physical input |
| 10:55.35 | sicelo | i don't know how to do that, but what i tried was to draw straight vertical lines, and see what happeens - in the affected area, the cursor jumps towards the right, leaving a zig-zag drawn line. |
| 11:08.54 | sicelo | https://paste.pics/ae06075b7da6e5b298f87bebab55dec3 ... these lines were all expected to be straight |

| 11:39.34 | sixwheeledbeast | I thought my N900 had a faulty digitizer at one point, I found out the screen protector had worn out and was interfering with the screen. Replaced it and had no issues since. |
| 11:41.05 | sicelo | i replaced my protector as well. seems i have permanent damage. although i've wondered if flex cable could cause this. i don't have another to test |
| 11:49.49 | DocScrutinizer05 | sicelo: I guess your digitizer's separator oil got rancid |
| 11:51.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | or the outer plastic film got worn out and has dents and buckles |

| 16:11.36 | DocScrutinizer05 | when >>it draw straight line toward corner<< then your digitizer "has a short" aka a bogus erroneous touchpoint *at the origin* of such line |
| 16:12.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's why I suggested printing out raw numeric event values |

| 19:40.31 | tahr64usera52c00 | Good day and good health Gentlemen |
| 19:43.06 | tahr64usera52c00 | is there a set of operating instructions on-line somewhere for the nokia N900 ? any one knows about |
| 19:59.56 | sixwheeledbeast | One does not simply operate an N900 |
| 20:00.10 | m14ed | no doubt |
| 20:00.40 | m14ed | can not scare an n900 with a hammer and screwdriver either - but must learn somewhere |
| 20:01.03 | sixwheeledbeast | I assume you have acquired a device and are looking for guidance? |
| 20:01.28 | m14ed | ? cursing allowed on here i can give affirmations |
| 20:02.03 | m14ed | i sir, am after more knowledge than just jumping onto it cold |
| 20:02.48 | m14ed | finger fiddling (Not the phrase i'd like to use) does not gain me much |
| 20:04.02 | sixwheeledbeast | Well ask away? It depends what you are trying to do? There are likely "official operating instructions" but they are unlikely to be very helpful in 2019 |
| 20:04.19 | m14ed | yes - i have acquired an N900 |
| 20:05.51 | sixwheeledbeast | Ok if you don't need anything I would suggest you reflash the device to a clean start. Therefore you have fresh unmodified Maemo. Then i would install the community updates AKA CSSU |
| 20:05.55 | m14ed | seemed like a "Full Box" of the set -telephone and equipment to go with all the slots in the box - everything there but the booklet |
| 20:06.46 | m14ed | ok- |
| 20:07.20 | sixwheeledbeast | wmo is your friend, you can also ask specific questions here, it's fairly active. |

| 20:09.17 | m14ed | ^ thank you for the above kind sir |
| 20:09.28 | m14ed | perhaps someday i can return the favor |
| 20:11.02 | sixwheeledbeast | My one global tip when it comes to N900 and Maemo is less is more. The more extras software "applications" you install the more likely your device will become slow like molasses. Keep your applications to what you need basically. |
| 20:11.15 | m14ed | goodly number of names here on your userlist - is the channel very active ? |
| 20:11.57 | sixwheeledbeast | fairly by the regulars, lots of idlers |
| 20:12.01 | m14ed | yes sir - most OS run faster - the lighter you allow them to be |
| 20:13.14 | sixwheeledbeast | Also maemo is not your standard Debian distro don't expect to be running apt from a terminal to install packages without having dependency mayhem. |
| 20:13.23 | sixwheeledbeast | ~ham |
