| 23:04.53 | infobot | It's great to be back! |

| 23:04.59 | infobot | from memory, sucker is something you shouldn't tell in public |

| 23:05.14 | infobot | ACTION starts crying and hides from docscrutinizer05 in the darkest corner of the room. :( |
| 23:05.22 | xmn | So this a chip that interacts with the magnet to check for the keyboard state |
| 23:05.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes, a hall sensor |
| 23:05.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | wikipwedia will know |
| 23:07.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | the electronic /solid-state version of a Reed switch |
| 23:07.43 | xmn | hehe, thx man. More than I already knew. |
| 23:07.46 | DocScrutinizer05 | it simply checks for magnetic field |
| 23:07.56 | xmn | got yah |
| 23:08.44 | xmn | so I guess I may need to check if this has fallen off. Which means I may need to take apart my current working n900 :( |
| 23:08.48 | *** join/#maemo saidinesh5 (~quassel@minad.de) |
| 23:09.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | sorry couldn't help but had to brag with my knowledge and my fine pictures in Neo900-exploded gallery ;-D |
| 23:09.19 | xmn | haha |
| 23:09.42 | xmn | it's all help .... ish :p |
| 23:10.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | there has to be a tiny magnet in that bay you found baqckside of display slide. If it's missing, it fell off and prolly got lost (unless it cought hold somewhere else in N900 |
| 23:10.29 | xmn | the bigger question is how to test for hardware vs software to track down this issue. |
| 23:10.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | ) |
| 23:11.08 | xmn | it seem to small and inset to just fall off though. |
| 23:11.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | you can use whatever magnet you find to trigger the hall sensor and make N900m thing slide is open |
| 23:11.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | think* |
| 23:11.55 | DocScrutinizer05 | *make N900 think*, even |
| 23:12.17 | xmn | yeah that what I figured, just tried it in a few place around where we said. But still says open |
| 23:12.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | wait, it says "open"? |
| 23:13.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | without magnet it should say "slide closed" |
| 23:13.11 | xmn | cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state; done |
| 23:13.46 | xmn | been using this from sixwheeledbeast, to tell if it's open are close via SW |
| 23:14.28 | xmn | So I login via ssh, and tested it with the device open, close, with magnet and without. all said open. |
| 23:15.28 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's not nice. either the magent got stuck on hall sensor (please check!), or the hall sensor is defect |
| 23:15.59 | xmn | :( |

| 23:16.42 | xmn | so in your opinion, this can't be software related? Like these type of bugs, https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/17 |
| 23:16.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | IroN900:~# watch cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state |
| 23:17.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | maemo-leste? sorry no idea |
| 23:17.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | all is possible I guess |
| 23:17.31 | xmn | yeah, I hear yah |
| 23:17.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | I'm not doing debugging or help for leste |
| 23:17.59 | xmn | many thing of course overlap |
| 23:18.04 | xmn | but I get yah |
| 23:18.21 | xmn | am I to try that cmd you posted? |
| 23:18.50 | xmn | oh, nm that an irc thing :) |
| 23:21.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | I need a working phone, and as I understand it leste doesn't even _plan_ to ever achieve that state on N900 |
| 23:23.27 | DocScrutinizer05 | that command watch checks every 2 seconds per default the reply from inner command (cat /sys/devices/platform/gpio-switch/slide/state) |
| 23:24.11 | xmn | ah, okay can give it a try. thx |
