May 22 05:08:05 <Robius> after unlocking a pre3, should I be re-doctoring with unlocked frmware?
May 22 06:31:10 <Supineru> hello guys.. how do I know whether remote erase is successful or not? My pre3 got robbed.. and I did click on "I lost my phone" on Palm page
May 22 06:32:11 <Supineru> Then today, I found out that the "I lost my phone" icon is clickable again.. so I did another remote erase.. how do I know if it's working? Does my phone have to be constantly in data connection on/ Cause I disable that..
May 22 06:33:03 <cryptk> Supineru, we do homebrew work here, not general webOS support
May 22 06:33:14 <cryptk> we are not HP/Palm employees or anything like that
May 22 06:33:28 <cryptk> maybe you should try #webos for that?
May 22 06:33:47 <Supineru> souka.. :< I was there but no one response, thought that you guys perhaps could answer
May 22 06:33:51 <Supineru> thank you cryptk..
May 22 06:34:06 <cryptk> we have no insight into how HP/Palm back-end systems work
May 22 06:34:12 <cryptk> good luck though
May 22 06:34:16 <cryptk> sucks to hear about your phone
May 22 06:34:47 <Supineru> yea.. a lot of company data in it.. and I wonder the remote erase is still working or just clickable icon with no service
May 22 06:35:29 <hewball> i would say it needs to talk to the HP servers, so be in wifi range of a known network or have Cellular data on
May 22 06:36:14 <hucksy> yes, needs wifi or other data connection like 3g
May 22 06:36:18 <Supineru> problem is.. i don't know whether the robber switch the cellular data
May 22 06:36:49 <Supineru> hopefully it force my pre3 to switch data on
May 22 06:37:12 <cryptk> if the data is not on, then the Palm servers are likely not capable of turning the data on remotely
May 22 06:37:26 <cryptk> although, it is possible that it sends the phone a message over SMS to wipe itself
May 22 06:37:32 <cryptk> I have no clue how it works though
May 22 06:37:45 <cryptk> never done a remote erase to check it out
May 22 06:38:04 <Supineru> Oh man.. now I'm super worried
May 22 06:38:46 <hucksy> cryptk: but that wont work on touchpads, i think its something that only works with data connection
May 22 06:39:00 <cryptk> it could work differenly for phones and touchpads
May 22 06:39:05 <hucksy> right
May 22 06:39:09 <cryptk> again, I have never looked into it
May 22 06:39:12 <cryptk> just conjecture here
May 22 06:39:17 <hucksy> yep
May 22 06:39:22 <hucksy> me too
May 22 06:39:29 <hucksy> just do it once on a touchpad
May 22 06:39:56 <cryptk> I know how it would work if I designed it, but I didn't, so it likely doesn't work that way
May 22 06:40:00 <Supineru> the help page didn't answer any except for "if your phone is not in your possession, you have initialized the remote erase now"
May 22 06:40:31 <hucksy> maybe ask the HP support?
May 22 06:40:40 <cryptk> ^^^ that ^^^
May 22 06:41:19 <Robius> there a way to get the old gmaps back as a separate app?
May 22 06:41:30 <Robius> bing is sucking
May 22 06:41:46 <hucksy> there is a gmap app in preware
May 22 06:41:47 <cryptk> Robius, check out the Google Maps app in preware
May 22 06:41:54 <cryptk> it isn't the same app, it's better
May 22 06:42:11 <Robius> sweet, gotta get preware on this thing then
May 22 06:42:23 <cryptk> it may be in the app catalog, I can't remember
May 22 06:42:28 <cryptk> I /think/ it is preware only though
May 22 06:42:28 <Robius> after unlocking a pre3, should I be re-doctoring with unlocked firmware?
May 22 06:42:47 <Robius> i cant do app cat as there is no service on this device yet
May 22 06:42:56 <Robius> dev mode only
May 22 06:43:19 <cryptk> I dont have AT&T, I'm a sprint guy ;)
May 22 06:43:24 <cryptk> never needed to unlock one
May 22 06:44:45 <Robius> ditto, just picked up 2 gsm devices for use on a trip in .eu
May 22 06:50:42 <Robius> cool, found gmaps app in pewware
May 22 06:50:46 <Robius> er preware
May 22 07:33:07 <hewball> Robius: no you shouldnt need to reflash, as the firmware does not change
May 22 07:33:20 <hewball> its an unlock on the device not firmware
May 22 08:20:33 <DrOwl> |Good morning
May 22 11:13:44 <fAz4> Does anyone heard of porting webos on kindle fire ?
May 22 19:59:13 <fAz4> Has anybody ported WebOS to kindle fire ?
May 22 20:00:31 <fAz4> I want to buy a cheap handset/tablet just for testing different embedded linuxes (Tizen, meego, webos ) any suggestion ?
May 22 20:25:32 <Vistaus> Good evening
May 22 20:26:32 <Vistaus> so I've made some tweaks to a config file from webOS 2.2 and now I want to package it as a patch for Preware, but I can't really find how to do that on the webOS Internals wiki... so, maybe you could tell me/link me on how I'd do that?
May 22 21:12:11 <dwc-> Vistaus: take a look at the patch portal
May 22 21:12:17 <dwc-> link is in the channel topic
May 22 21:12:49 <dwc-> typically the patch file itself is submitted, and then packaged on the server for inclusion in the patch feeds
May 22 21:32:59 <Vistaus> @dwc- Ah, thank you, will do that! :)
