**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jan 15 02:59:57 2012 Jan 15 22:01:17 hey Jan 15 22:01:23 according to this http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Battery_Questions_and_Answers#Hardware_capabilities Jan 15 22:01:44 it is possible to use nokia batteries with the neo frerunner Jan 15 22:02:25 however it also written there : Other known FreeRunner-compatible batteries include the BL-series (BL-4X, BL-5X) from Nokia, and their third-party equivalents. These may not work to revive a device and may not report charge information. Jan 15 22:03:19 so does anybody use nokia batteries on neo freerunner? does it report charge infarmation? Jan 15 22:03:31 information Jan 15 22:06:18 norayr: is that page the only you're reading? Jan 15 22:07:35 norayr: doesn't it already answer your question? Jan 15 22:07:49 norayr: i mean what is your question that's not covered by the faq? Jan 15 22:12:26 norayr: to sum up: that faq is authoritative, other pages are not. Jan 15 22:15:50 PaulFertser: not exactly. it says "may not" which means "not known for sure" Jan 15 22:16:05 norayr: where the hell does it say "may not"? Jan 15 22:16:16 PaulFertser: These may not work to revive a device and may not report charge information. Jan 15 22:16:27 norayr: where did you get this from? Jan 15 22:16:42 PaulFertser: second Jan 15 22:16:58 02:11 < PaulFertser> norayr: to sum up: that faq is authoritative, other pages are not. Jan 15 22:17:03 PaulFertser: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Battery_Questions_and_Answers#Hardware_capabilities Jan 15 22:17:21 am Jan 15 22:17:38 no, here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_(GTA02)_Battery#GTA02_1200_mAh_Smart_Battery Jan 15 22:18:04 norayr: i think i've already answered your question, right? Jan 15 22:18:20 to be precise there: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_(GTA02)_Battery#Compatible_Replacement_Batteries Jan 15 22:19:02 This very page has a link to the FAQ too. Jan 15 22:19:08 On top of the page. Jan 15 22:19:18 sure Jan 15 22:19:49 And in the Compatible_Replacement_Batteries section too. Jan 15 22:20:30 so the answer is : "no, indeed nokia batteries won't report the charge information" ? Jan 15 22:21:33 because at the wiki info author seem to not be sure Jan 15 22:21:59 norayr: i'm unsure why you do not get that FAQ is more recent that Neo_FreeRunner_(GTA02)_Battery page. Jan 15 22:22:21 The only thing faq is currently missing is that the driver is now called "platform_battery" and not "gta01_battery". Jan 15 22:23:12 ok, it says: What batteries can be used with gta01 and gta02? Jan 15 22:23:13 Original OM gta01, gta02, Nokia BL-5C, BL-6C and compatibles. Jan 15 22:23:13 norayr: probably you've difficulties due to the language barrier, sorry, i do not mean to be harsh. Jan 15 22:23:32 can be used does not mean "report charge info" right? Jan 15 22:24:21 norayr: the dumb battery doesn't report charge info itself but the gta02 is capable of measuring the voltage and its guessimation of the capacity based on that is good enough for me. Jan 15 22:24:56 Anyway, i'm off to sleep now, good luck with your replacement battery and enjoy your gta02 :) Jan 15 22:25:12 thanks Jan 15 22:25:19 good night :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jan 16 02:59:57 2012
