**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 11 02:59:58 2014 Sep 11 06:14:22 hey all! where can i find replacement chassis screws for the n900? Sep 11 06:14:49 i found a thread on maemo board but people mention they didnt get their orders (nokiparts...?) Sep 11 07:34:43 hmm lately my n900 has charging problems Sep 11 08:59:34 ~Pottering Sep 11 08:59:43 Sth Sep 11 08:59:49 ~poettering Sep 11 08:59:49 'sth is poettering' means it acts invasive, possessive, destructive, and generally in an egocentric exacerbating negative way. ``this cancer is extremely poettering'', or you look here for Linus' notion on what's poettering: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1404.0/01331.html, or http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1404.0/01488.html, or see ~systemd cabal Sep 11 09:00:34 my bad spellings Sep 11 09:00:47 in my brain the oe turns into an ö Sep 11 09:01:02 He he Sep 11 09:01:29 ~Systemd cabal Sep 11 09:01:30 extra, extra, read all about it, systemd cabal is a bunch of people (Lennart Poettering, Kay Sievers, Harald Hoyer, Daniel Mack, Tom Gundersen, David Herrmann) who want to turn linux into their wet dream perverted version of windows-me-too. See http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html -- Rumor has it that 2016 systemd will have replaced the linux kernel, or see http://boycottsystemd.org/ Sep 11 09:01:38 Yay Sep 11 09:08:32 How to use /topic Sep 11 09:09:11 I mean i get not enough parameters Sep 11 09:09:35 Whenever i type that Sep 11 09:10:10 ~Botsnack Sep 11 09:10:10 Nokiabot: aw, gee Sep 11 09:10:14 moin :) Sep 11 09:10:35 Afternoon :) Sep 11 09:11:22 moin :) Sep 11 09:13:29 zGrr:moaning you mean :D Sep 11 09:15:41 moaning all the time .) Sep 11 09:15:52 especially since my old good n900 is randomly reseting Sep 11 09:16:26 or rather switching itself off Sep 11 09:16:50 Then me too somthing bad happend to my n900s :( Sep 11 09:17:52 You probably have a bad battery or you messed with overclocking Sep 11 09:18:26 Do you get any banner after a restart Sep 11 09:19:04 Nope Sep 11 09:19:36 everything starts just fine as if nothing happened. Sep 11 09:19:57 could be some sort of hardware failure. Sep 11 09:20:02 Humm Sep 11 09:20:19 It switches itself off typically when I slide the lcd quickly. Sep 11 09:21:10 Clean the battery contacts and tighten the battery with a bit of paper at the bottom Sep 11 09:22:18 Try that see if it helps Sep 11 09:23:16 I will Sep 11 09:23:51 Or perhaps connectors linking the display part with rest of the handset. Sep 11 09:24:32 I still use N900 as my primary phone. :) Sep 11 09:24:56 Never managed to successfully migrate to N9. Sep 11 09:26:39 If its display ribbon then why would the whole device get nuked ? Sep 11 09:30:13 Ha ha i got a n900 the tried to upgrade that resulted in another n900 and that resulted in a spare dead n900 if needed for repairs and now due to my stupidity i lost them need to buy one more so that i use again Sep 11 09:31:39 Finally i also got a cheap android just for android shake Sep 11 09:33:14 I don't know anything about android. I'd like to have a new phone (more RAM) but there is nothing interesting on the market. Sep 11 09:33:31 except Jolla perhaps. Sep 11 09:33:48 Right Sep 11 09:34:38 even jolla is ... meh Sep 11 09:34:48 (openness-wise) Sep 11 09:35:10 Though i got an android its just horrible and sold it after a week now i would get a firefox rather Sep 11 09:38:04 N900 is just awsome Sep 11 09:39:03 For now i just want firefox open web apps in it :) Sep 11 09:50:30 the bot is advertising, figures :) Sep 11 10:05:09 ~Ding Sep 11 10:05:10 dong Sep 11 10:05:48 Jon_y: ?? Sep 11 10:06:40 Nokiabot: well nokia "bot" Sep 11 10:06:54 don't worry, nothing serious Sep 11 10:38:28 Lol Sep 11 11:21:04 how to upgrade the n900 to 512M https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola+Moto+360+Teardown/28891 Sep 11 11:22:44 ouch Sep 11 11:23:57 Omg Sep 11 11:30:11 Why not port freemantle ? It got omap 3630 :D Sep 11 11:31:19 ... and port Xclock to the watch. Sep 11 11:33:55 He he Sep 11 11:34:38 Homemade neo :p Sep 11 11:42:56 3630? Harmattan on Moto 360. Sep 11 13:14:33 I have been thinking of getting a new phone to replace N900 since the battery life is just too poor IMHO. Do you guys and gals have any recommendations as what to get as replacement? Sep 11 13:23:27 ahahahahahhaahhahahahahahh Sep 11 13:26:57 Well hey :D cmon seriously if this thing is charged to 100% I can make maybe four calls and boom out of battery and I won't even start about mobile connection which basically drains the battery instantly :'D Sep 11 13:35:27 yeah just get a decent battery Sep 11 13:36:10 the n900's battery life is pretty fucking amazing, compared to most other smartphoens Sep 11 13:36:45 No, it is not Sep 11 13:36:57 I think it is comparable. Sep 11 13:37:03 Better than N9 though Sep 11 13:37:24 Ras_Older: I've got same problem. Sep 11 13:37:40 Ras_Older: I think of either Jolla. Sep 11 13:38:22 Ras_Older: or motorola Photon Q with cyanogenmod on it. Sep 11 13:38:36 Ras_Older: Or a dumbphone. Sep 11 13:43:54 * ShadowJK has more power issues with jolla than n900 Sep 11 13:44:27 Aye well maybe something like good old 3310 as phone! Sep 11 13:44:34 a dumphone sounds like a sensible option Sep 11 13:44:40 yeah Sep 11 13:44:50 or a 8210 (smaller) Sep 11 13:44:56 A 3310 with a battery as aged as the one you have now, would behave the same way as your n900 Sep 11 13:45:04 True :D Sep 11 13:45:54 I recently bought a Nokia E60 for my mum. Sep 11 13:46:13 In perfect condition. Great phone. Sep 11 14:16:55 What is latest version of chromium in easydebian Sep 11 14:29:02 Nokiabot: huh... latest? Sep 11 14:29:18 latest in whatever debian version you have Sep 11 14:31:07 Easy debian Sep 11 14:31:57 ~Wiki trilateration Sep 11 14:32:00 At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilateration (URL), Wikipedia explains: " In geometry, 'trilateration' is the process of determining absolute or relative locations of points by measurement of distances, using the geometry of circles, spheres or triangles.[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/605329/trilateration Encyclopædia Britannica][http://www.diracdelta.co.uk/science/source/t/r/trilateration/source.html ... Sep 11 17:10:25 Maybe your N900 needs a new battery Ras_Older Sep 11 17:15:23 ~polarcell Sep 11 17:15:24 somebody said polarcell was http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390402445382 BL-5J Replacement Sep 11 17:22:13 i wonder if my battery is actually a polarcell Sep 11 17:22:16 it sure behaves like one Sep 11 18:50:27 my 4 year old BL-5J has just dropped below 1Ah. Sep 11 18:51:02 uhm, can we still buy new Batteries? Sep 11 19:09:15 eh yer the link above Sep 11 19:13:16 I still have two more BL5J's... I wonder how much they've perished since I bought them... (one came with the n900, other was spare for the Nuron, and currently trying to milk the old Nuron battery to death.) Sep 11 19:19:01 Li-ion's don't last, they have a life expectancy from date of manufacture upto 3 years used or not. Sep 11 19:19:15 the problem with ebay is the payment method... Sep 11 19:22:56 I am sure there are other vendors. However, this place is tried and tested by myself and others. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 12 02:59:58 2014
