**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 26 03:00:02 2018 Jul 26 05:14:51 any kernel updates for gemini pda (android) - for oreo 8.1. As vndbinder, hwbinder is missing Jul 26 06:28:09 I believe oreo wants 4.4+ Jul 26 06:29:36 Zevv, no, it can work with 3.18 and earlier as well, just needs patches backported Jul 26 06:53:41 I tried to read the android extended sd card based on the article that i found yesterday. Jul 26 06:54:08 It works fine. Just extract the key file from your phone. Jul 26 07:02:13 TheKit: sweet, thanks **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 26 08:31:41 2018 Jul 26 12:52:19 has anyone experience with nikon snapbridge or canon's similar bluetooth app? Jul 26 12:52:51 i'm planning on buying a pocket camera (gemini's camera sucks so much) and something that could sync over bt to phone would be nice Jul 26 12:59:22 Thanks cos- you reminded me. I tried the new Moment camera app in Android but of course it needs newer technology in the kernel so wouldn't work just yet. Shame.. Jul 26 12:59:33 no experience with those sorry... btw are you planning to buy a wireless lens camera, or a full camera? Jul 26 12:59:45 full camera Jul 26 13:00:02 PowerShot SX730 or something from nikon Jul 26 14:26:52 cos- : Snapbridge really ain't soup yet; Canon's is reputed to be somewhat better; I've used Fuji's and it's fairly good. Jul 26 14:27:35 Snapbridge is famous for sucking batteries in both camera and phone. Jul 26 14:28:25 i'd prefer something that supports standard bluetooth file transfer instead of an app which won't run in few years.. Jul 26 14:30:06 can you recommend any specific fuji model? Jul 26 14:30:19 cos-: You've just reminded me I have a second hand "Sony Cyber-shot QX10" in my tech cupboard - it's a self-contained camera lens with a smartphone 'grip'. It has it's on SD card slot but also transfers images and live feed via wifi to a smart device....must dig it out and give it a go on the Gemini... Jul 26 14:32:40 cos- : I can't, really. My Fujis are fairly high-end, interchangeable-lens ones rather than pocket cameras. Jul 26 14:32:58 You might look here: https://www.dpreview.com/products/fujifilm/cameras?subcategoryId=cameras&page=1 Jul 26 14:43:04 cos- : Frankly, I'd go with the Canon. Jul 26 14:46:33 yep, i like canon cameras. no clue about how poor the software is.. Jul 26 14:56:59 I just use a sd card to usb-c reader. Jul 26 14:57:15 I'm using olympus cameras nowadays. Jul 26 15:00:20 cos- : There are, of course, SD cards that have wifi built in, and you can call them up in a browser. Eyefi was the standard, though I do not know if it still is. Jul 26 15:00:35 http://www.eyefi.com/ Jul 26 15:01:24 They are superior in some respects to in-camera bluetooth/wifi. But they don't let you do things like control the camera over wifi. Jul 26 15:02:18 The little rubber strip on the backside started buckling and detaching... Trying to glue it, but.... lol Jul 26 15:02:28 Maybe I'll just strip it completely off. Jul 26 15:02:39 Put some silcone caulk in there instead ;) Jul 26 15:03:27 Now that I think of it, I have that stuff you can "Plasticize" wrench grips and things. Paint a bit in there and let it dry I guess. Jul 26 15:03:34 TallTim : Mine did the same thing. I jimmied the hinge cover piece off (not easy and probably not a good idea) and pushed the little rubber nubbins Jul 26 15:04:01 Yeah, I'm trying not to disassemble - but you may be right about that. Jul 26 15:04:02 in to the holes whence they came, and glued them from the underside. Problem solved, so far. Jul 26 15:04:32 Why is it there? just a grip kind of thing for when its open? Jul 26 15:04:46 Because I don't have many problems with that. I'll have to think about it. Jul 26 15:05:29 Life goes on - it still works great ;) Jul 26 15:05:37 If you remove it, you'll probably want to replace it with something. Jul 26 15:06:37 Just looking at it - the floating hinge is exposing things anyway, so I don't see the difference having the strip there. Jul 26 15:06:47 Not like its water resistant. Jul 26 15:06:55 (Case in general) Jul 26 15:10:33 the rubber strip keeps the device (more or less) from sliding on a surface Jul 26 15:11:11 That's what I suspected. Easy enough to jury-rig something. Jul 26 15:11:19 The plasticizer I have will bind to metals. Jul 26 15:12:04 without it, the screen would wobble even more than it already does, at least on smooth surfaces Jul 26 15:12:19 I don't have that problem, so I'm good. Jul 26 15:12:28 Good fitting joints, maybe luck ;) Jul 26 17:00:09 btw, chromium has an option to enable touch-friendly UI on Linux Jul 26 17:00:12 see chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md Jul 26 17:00:27 just found it out Jul 26 17:42:32 dep: i`m looking for bt, not wifi connection Jul 26 17:49:10 cos- : That's a little tougher -- I don't know of anyone who has sorted that out very well, though some of whom I am not aware might have. Jul 26 18:11:10 could anyone with Sailfish 2.2.0.29 check if doing pkcon refresh and pkcon update wants to install sailfish-connman-plugin-suspend-wmtwifi? Jul 26 18:11:21 this should fix sleep with Wi-Fi enabled on Sailfish Jul 26 18:11:33 Btw, i removed the metal springie part and added more angle to it. My gemini does not wobble noticeably anymore. Jul 26 18:12:08 It might make the metal to break prematurely, but well, i'll just find a way to make another one or get a spare part then :P Jul 26 18:34:02 You have more confidence in the availability of spare parts than I do! Jul 26 18:35:54 dep: Well, the first option that i stated was about making another one myself! Jul 26 18:47:15 You *definitely* have more confidence in your metalworking skills than I have in mine! Jul 26 18:48:34 TheKit : I'm hoping in the next couple of days to do a full reflash, adding SailfishOS. I've been told that this means I can do entirely withour Android. True? Jul 26 18:48:50 withour=without Jul 26 18:52:50 dep, is your device X25 or X27 one? Jul 26 18:53:11 I think on X27 there were issue that default SIM needs to be set first to physical one in Android, or it won't function Jul 26 18:53:17 *there was an issue Jul 26 19:10:02 I suppose that could be workarounded by backing up and restoring some partitions, but I can't check which one is responsible for it Jul 26 19:30:48 TheKit : Mine's an X27. I really don't like anything Android, but for now I suppose there's no choice, though perhaps that will change with Sailfish OS 3.0. Jul 26 20:03:49 moin Jul 26 20:04:39 I was mostly afk in the last 3 weeks - any major news at the linux mainlining / debian front? ;-) Jul 26 20:53:36 Meganerd_5100 : You're the resident Sailfish expert. I'm about to nuke what's on my Gemini and replace it with Linux/Sailfish OS. Anything I especially need to watch out for? Jul 26 20:54:58 I should note that it has *not* had a sim in it. I intend to add one. TheKit says there's something that needs to be configured in Android -- mine's an X27 -- first. Is there a workaround? Jul 26 20:55:51 Oh no -- I drove you away! Well, it's been that kind of day . . . **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jul 27 03:00:01 2018
