**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 09 02:59:58 2016 Sep 09 09:53:44 anyone here still using Skype on N900? Sep 09 09:54:41 I've yet to acquire an N900, but I am interested in this subject as well Sep 09 09:54:43 i tested it with someone, and video call crashed at first, but went successfully thereafter. however, i never see the other person, while they can see me. any known workaround? Sep 09 09:55:05 oh, textchat still works today? Sep 09 09:55:48 yes, everything works .. audio calls Sep 09 09:56:00 * CatButts pleased Sep 09 09:56:07 even the video is working, at least in one direction Sep 09 09:56:42 this is quite surprising for a 2009 piece of software Sep 09 09:56:57 yesssssssssss :) Sep 09 09:57:27 every day i remind myself that it was my best spending ever to buy the N900 in 20111 Sep 09 09:57:32 2011 Sep 09 09:58:17 eh, I had j2me, s60v5, winmo on shitty Moto Q9, android so far Sep 09 09:58:30 CatButts: afaik it is still working on the N810 too ... Sep 09 09:58:42 ~N810 Sep 09 09:59:10 ~nit Sep 09 09:59:10 [nit] Nokia Internet Tablet Sep 09 09:59:18 N900's older brother. i love its construction Sep 09 09:59:20 oh, Maemo 4 Sep 09 09:59:28 770/n800/n810 are NITs Sep 09 09:59:37 never seen one in real life though, haha .. and possibly never will Sep 09 09:59:57 sicelo: its close to n900 in term of physical usage Sep 09 10:00:20 i like the metal finish Sep 09 10:00:22 more solid tho Sep 09 10:00:25 yeah Sep 09 10:00:43 if wimax took off, it would be a hit Sep 09 10:00:50 unfortunatelly lte ate it Sep 09 10:00:51 and the bevelled corner just looks cool ;) Sep 09 10:03:12 i don't think our skype can (still) do group calls however Sep 09 10:04:12 I am happy that at least I can keep in touch with people using this proprietary thinghymagig Sep 09 10:04:28 but I wouldn't bet on it for long Sep 09 10:17:51 sicelo: it worked several months ago (skype group calls) Sep 09 10:28:34 i read somewhere that it depending on who initiated the group call Sep 09 10:28:52 if the person with the oldest skyper version started it, you would be ok Sep 09 10:35:38 ah, yeah, that Sep 09 10:35:47 I experience this with desktop Skype Sep 09 10:36:01 I keep older version because less retarded UI Sep 09 10:38:40 could be my libgstdsp.so version :-/ Sep 09 10:39:14 are you refering to the one-way video thing? Sep 09 10:39:21 or the groupcall thing? Sep 09 10:39:39 if it's the groupcall one, it's definitely Skype Sep 09 10:39:39 one-way Sep 09 10:39:43 ah, ok Sep 09 11:31:17 sicelo: is it possible send photos via skype? Sep 09 11:32:19 i guess skype is more widely used than jabber or i've chosen my friends poorly Sep 09 11:32:44 mine mostly use irc Sep 09 11:32:56 mine doesn't Sep 09 11:33:21 im not sure if there even is reasonable irc client for android Sep 09 11:33:51 either they spam commercials or they disconnet if u minimize it or both Sep 09 11:34:04 i use ssh+screen+epic Sep 09 11:34:19 so any device supporting ssh suits me Sep 09 11:35:15 Vajb: it is .. but, not on N900 :) Sep 09 11:35:25 telepathy's fault Sep 09 11:36:18 everything that uses Maemo's telepathy will not be able to send any media. unless you build your own Sep 09 11:50:48 Hmm, a question about virtual keyboard : why does it have only two languages? Going by " Cut Copy Paste " , there should be 3 languages available. Of course, the GUI can be changed to accomodate up to 12 languages ( if shortenings are used, like UK for English ( United Kingdom ) ), but that's a bit too much Sep 09 11:53:20 /me currently speaks 2 languages fairly well, but learning a third one is a bit difficult when typing in it is not exactly easy Sep 09 11:54:52 To be fair, I could leave English to Hardware Keyboard, since it cannot be repainted either way, and have no English in virtual keyboard. But what if I want to have 4th language available, like Greek for formulae symbols? Sep 09 11:58:21 look at the HIM stuff (hildon-Input-Method) ... dunno how open/adjustable it is Sep 09 12:03:30 Yes, it looks like package libhildon-im-ui3 , which references HIM as source. Where would HIM be found, in garage or on github? Garage, I think, should look it up **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 10 02:59:58 2016
