19:02.26PaulFertserahven: hey
19:02.43PaulFertserahven: i'm afraid nobody was testing anything newer than 2.6.29 andy-tracking on gta01...
19:03.25PaulFertserahven: in fact i probably tried a new kernel once but something went wrong and i lacked enough motivation to dig deeper.
19:09.53*** join/#openmoko doc|home (~doc@gentoo/contributor/doc-007)
19:10.31ahvenPaulFertser: ok, thanks for the answer :)
19:11.02ahvenQtMoko seems nice and fast to use
19:13.25PaulFertserahven: on gta01?
19:13.44ahvenyep
19:14.19PaulFertserahven: are you still using the original battery?
19:15.05ahvenyep, but seems that it doesn't want to charge not so well anymore, have to let it be alone for a while
19:15.36*** join/#openmoko savircuser (~savirc@p4FCCD36D.dip.t-dialin.net)
19:17.14PaulFertserahven: you can use a nokia battery but you'll have to use an external charger for it.
19:19.15ahvenremember reading about it, does it just not charge while in the phone?
19:19.32ahvenor can the charging attempts damage the battery?
19:25.42PaulFertserahven: just doesn't charge. Due to stupids from fic choosing a reference resistor according to the example in the pcf50606 datasheet and not to nokia...  
19:25.51PaulFertser(thermistor reference i mean)
19:28.21PaulFertserahven: by changing one register in pcf50606 you can make it charge at ~120mA iirc, but for that to make sense you'd have to put it to suspend to ram (as the current is also used to power the device itself). And if you do proper "poweroff" it'll start magically charge with 500mA.
19:29.08ahvenhehe, seems easier to swap batteries in a daily basis :P
19:37.33PaulFertserahven: i've bought a "bl6-c" battery on ebay for ~3EUR (free shipping) and it seems to work reasonably well (but tbh i haven't measured the actual capacity) for that price.
19:38.04ahvenPaulFertser: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/pisen-bl-6c-replacement-3-7v-1200mah-li-ion-battery-for-nokia-7700-2110-2116-2125-more-39117 similar to this?
19:39.52PaulFertserahven: probably this one is better. The one i have looks exactly like the original nokia battery, even with the hologram.
20:00.34ahvenhmm, pretty ok so far - charge_full reports 850000
20:01.08ahvenandit it's at 816 already
20:03.28PaulFertserahven: measuring voltage is not a really reliable way to estimate charge amount, especially during the charge process. And 850mAh is hardcoded.
20:04.22ahvenhardcoded?
20:04.37PaulFertserahven: yes, i hardcoded it as the reasonable guess about the actual battery capacity.
20:05.14ahvenok
20:05.58PaulFertserahven: if you look at charge % it'll hopefully be somewhat indicative, but only after you unplug the charger.
20:07.29PaulFertserahven: i'm using the very same driver myself now (as my gta02 battery has lost its capacity) but i can't really tell how well it works, for me it's good enough.
20:14.30ahvenwill do that, a full charge, or atleast 99, and will leave it for the night

20:36.51ahvendamn oversight, http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnNeo1973
20:37.00ahvenhave to try this tomorrow
20:37.33ahvenonce I have determined how good is QtMoko in terms of idling with GSM on
20:38.16PaulFertserahven: 2.6.24? Sounds too old ;)
20:39.24ahventhe hardware is too :)
20:39.51PaulFertserahven: also, if you are actually using your device, i'd suggest you stay with qtmoko.
20:40.00PaulFertserahven: plain debian is less usable.
20:40.20ahvenyou might be right on that one
20:40.43PaulFertserahven: i'm using only debian on my gta02 for two years, and it's a pain.
20:40.43ahvenif QtMoko can function normally, I just make it my work phone :P
20:41.03PaulFertserahven: i'm using self-compiled fso2 and an emacs ui.
20:42.04ahvenwell, there are more optimisations in the gta02 device, some of the bigger PM bugs are still in 01, I remember
20:42.50ahventhat wiki page hasn't been updated for some time and nobody is actively working on it either, I presume
20:46.41ahvenjust my luck - "After a few suspend/resume cycles, bluetooth stops working. This is fixed since v24."
20:46.49ahvenand the latest for gta01 is v24 ;)
20:47.39ahventhough I didn't see any BT devices found
20:48.30PaulFertserahven: you can do manually everything needed to get bt working.
20:48.47PaulFertserahven: lsusb will tell you if the bt adapter is there. If not -- you should use some sysfs files to power it on.
20:48.58PaulFertserahven: and when it's on, bluetoothd should be started.
20:49.46ahvenwill wake up the device in some 30 minutes, to find out exactly 60m battery drainage
20:50.29PaulFertserahven: i've a "testbed" here consisting of a gta01 attached to a battery via ampermeter...
20:50.46*** join/#openmoko Infoport (~Infoport@cpe-075-191-250-157.triad.res.rr.com)
20:54.03ahvenPaulFertser: and the lowest numbers you have seen?
20:54.43PaulFertserahven: i guess it was about 19mA (with manually turning off the sound amplifier with alsamixer before putting to suspend).
21:00.40ahvenhmm, blueman actually works, do I finally use BT with a GUI program? :)
21:06.19ahvenso in a perfect world gta01 could function 2 whole days, without doing anything with it?
21:06.35ahvenwith a perfect, 1200 mAh, battery :)
21:15.27PaulFertserahven: in a perfect world a perfect developer would identify where the hell the extra current flows and would eliminate the leaks :)
21:15.48ahvenokay, 60 minutes - 100 to 55% :)
21:16.12ahventhe profile *should* be setting itself to sleep in 40 secs of idle
21:16.46ahvena) big drain, b) battery almost dead
21:17.22PaulFertserahven: or probably not charged enough. While on charge it can seem having >20% more than it actually has.
21:19.23ahvenload average: 0.19, 0.08, 0.02
21:19.41ahvensoftware seems to behave, compared to the stock software
