**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 13 02:59:59 2013 Jun 13 03:16:08 HI, the camera-ui2 stuck a lot after I capture more then 1-2 pictures. I am not able to take pictures in row. I like CSSU, is there anyway to remove camera-ui2? Jun 13 03:16:27 Thank you. Jun 13 03:43:33 I just turned off the preview, its working absolutely fine now. Jun 13 04:28:05 Question (if anyone's around). I installed Easy Debian, and the phone self-rebooted. Now "debian lxde" instantly closes. Jun 13 04:28:17 What can I do to fix it? Jun 13 04:53:53 Getting a few stale nfs errors, seems like the chroot fs is corrupt :/ Jun 13 05:32:07 Bye bye n900 :( Jun 13 05:32:22 My micro-usb port is dead Jun 13 05:43:41 MrOpposite: fix it, find sb to fix it, or offer the device for purchase here Jun 13 05:43:49 ~usbfix Jun 13 05:43:49 [usbfix] http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75920 - and **NEVER** use epoxy (unless you want to seal your device for underwater) Jun 13 05:46:28 hmm Jun 13 05:55:05 oldtopmann: yeah, sounds like that. Anyway you're lucky, stale NFS usually fixable by fsck Jun 13 05:56:46 for the reboot during installation, check for general "reboot while copying large files ..." error, and swappolube resp generic tweaks to IO-settings Jun 13 06:07:05 MrOpposite: if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask Jun 13 06:07:10 Yeah Jun 13 06:07:11 UHm Jun 13 06:07:18 I just disassembled my n900 Jun 13 06:07:37 be careful with tha flex connector Jun 13 06:07:44 and I'm holding my USB-port in one hand Jun 13 06:07:50 and the motherboard in the other Jun 13 06:07:53 now what? Jun 13 06:08:15 make a macro snapshot of the PCB where USB been, post URL here Jun 13 06:08:26 Ah Jun 13 06:08:27 Uhm Jun 13 06:08:31 Hmm Jun 13 06:08:43 Time to get creative, as my main camera is my n900 Jun 13 06:08:49 preferably even a few more than one Jun 13 06:09:11 do you have a scanner? Jun 13 06:09:45 I do, in fact, have a scanner Jun 13 06:09:47 _some_ scanners are *great* for higres-macros Jun 13 06:10:54 my old digital camera is useless on macros it seems Jun 13 06:11:00 brb, check my scanner Jun 13 06:11:35 see http://maemo.cloud-7.de/Gallery-N900-exploded/ Jun 13 06:14:26 the last 6 pics are from scanner Jun 13 06:16:32 hmm, cool Jun 13 06:16:33 anyhow Jun 13 06:16:40 I didn't have the scanner drivers installed Jun 13 06:16:47 so I'm just gonna install those Jun 13 06:19:19 Hmm Jun 13 06:19:29 How do I get the part which holds the memory card loose? Jun 13 06:21:17 DocScrutinizer05 ^ Jun 13 06:23:26 gently pry it off, it's held by doublesided sticky tape Jun 13 06:23:53 be extremely carefull with the flexible part of the PCB, it's NOT fixable Jun 13 06:24:07 quite sturdy but not fixable Jun 13 06:25:48 thanks Jun 13 06:25:54 yw, np Jun 13 06:26:02 Now my "gentle prying tool" come in handy :P Jun 13 06:28:04 ps: slightly increased temperature might help a lot Jun 13 06:28:15 like ~40°C Jun 13 06:28:49 but not mandatory, just you need more patience for sticky to come off when it's cold Jun 13 06:28:58 might take a minute or two Jun 13 06:30:21 if the sticky gets too messed up during removal, just discard it (or cut off and discard the messed up parts) - it's not really needed Jun 13 06:31:25 you also can use arbitrary similar ds-stickytape and cut small stripes from it to replace the original Jun 13 06:31:40 Uhm Jun 13 06:31:45 I already pried it off Jun 13 06:31:45 http://imgur.com/a/XSQEG Jun 13 06:32:02 My scanner didn't work THAT great though :( Jun 13 06:32:16 mhm Jun 13 06:32:25 good anyway, you now have access Jun 13 06:33:04 But I think you can make out that I'm missing a pretty important part... Jun 13 06:33:22 but yeah, your scanner is even more picky with focus distance than the one I used Jun 13 06:33:36 yes, that's obvious Jun 13 06:34:14 the question is if all the 5 small pads parallel to the border of PCB are silver still Jun 13 06:34:41 I can't tell that from your scans Jun 13 06:35:12 uhm Jun 13 06:35:13 yeah Jun 13 06:35:28 then you're lucky :-D Jun 13 06:35:42 uhm Jun 13 06:35:43 no Jun 13 06:35:47 I'm quite unlucky Jun 13 06:35:51 Where did I place my usb port? Jun 13 06:35:54 soldering a new USB receptacle is basically a nobrainer Jun 13 06:36:18 found it Jun 13 06:36:22 I need a new one? Jun 13 06:36:30 you should get a new one Jun 13 06:36:40 where does one accuire a new one? Jun 13 06:36:45 unless the old one looks like perfect condition Jun 13 06:37:02 old one looks pretty abused Jun 13 06:37:03 ebay usually offers them, sometimes in packages of 10 Jun 13 06:37:10 While I have my n900 open Jun 13 06:37:18 what can I do to fix my audio port? Jun 13 06:37:27 That one is non functional as well Jun 13 06:37:32 ooooh Jun 13 06:37:51 check the locatiion where you would expect the AV receptacle Jun 13 06:38:00 you'll find there's no component Jun 13 06:38:10 clean the golden pads Jun 13 06:38:24 okay Jun 13 06:38:28 thanks for the help! Jun 13 06:38:32 clean the springs of receptacle (still sitting in plastic case) Jun 13 06:38:50 paper is best for cleaning Jun 13 06:39:01 unvarnished paper, like newspaper Jun 13 06:39:06 Okay Jun 13 06:39:11 No alcohol or similar? Jun 13 06:39:15 or some business cards are like that Jun 13 06:39:18 no Jun 13 06:39:23 no detergents Jun 13 06:39:30 ok Jun 13 06:40:02 just thoroughly (springs: carefully) rub/brush it with paper Jun 13 06:40:49 if you dare, you could *carefully* bend the springs out a 10% Jun 13 06:41:07 so they get some power again to press against the pads Jun 13 06:41:45 but be *careful* not to break them, or you'll have to get a new AV receptacle from Nokia Care (probably ~2.99USD) Jun 13 06:42:00 okay Jun 13 06:42:08 They're good now I think Jun 13 06:42:29 inspect all contacts with a mignifying glass Jun 13 06:42:34 mag.. Jun 13 06:43:27 also inspect the electric pads of USB and make sure they are no little craters lower then the surface of PCB around Jun 13 06:43:28 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nokia-7210C-N86-C5-03-N900-Micro-USB-Charging-Block-Unit-Port-Connector-New-UK-/170826356694?pt=UK_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item27c60b57d6 Jun 13 06:43:37 Will that work? Jun 13 06:43:50 yes Jun 13 06:43:53 looks like Jun 13 06:44:35 I think I'll come back here when my parts arrive Jun 13 06:45:53 ok Jun 13 06:46:16 find somebody ho can actually solder those delicate things Jun 13 06:46:23 who* Jun 13 06:46:41 Okay, I guess I'll bring my half-broken n900 with me to romania in august Jun 13 06:46:50 *good* cellphone repair shops should be willing and able to do it Jun 13 06:46:54 Where the best solder guy I know lives... Jun 13 06:47:20 protect camera lens with sticka tape Jun 13 06:47:34 ah, good tip! Jun 13 06:49:18 and whoever touches the N900 PCB for repair or whatever, tell him to be damn careful with the flexible part! Jun 13 06:49:54 the memory card thing? Jun 13 06:52:56 yes Jun 13 06:53:47 will do Jun 13 06:53:50 thanks for all the help! Jun 13 06:53:55 it's not really sensible/delicate, but you can't fix it, and some dudes just don't care about it at all so it actually breaks on bending it too much Jun 13 06:54:19 the flex to screen half *is* *very* delicate Jun 13 06:54:49 ah, yes, the ribbon cable Jun 13 06:54:58 I'm not gonna let anybody touch that :P Jun 13 06:56:52 other than the charging slot and the AV jack the phone is near mint Jun 13 06:57:01 I've had it in a flipcase the whole time Jun 13 06:57:04 that's fine :-) Jun 13 06:57:15 although the flipcase is worn as hell... Jun 13 06:58:19 the flex to screen, the most delicate part (surprisingly) is the connector at end Jun 13 06:58:42 ok, why? Jun 13 06:58:45 or rather Jun 13 06:58:48 why is that suprising? Jun 13 06:59:02 it's 3 layer with vias (interconnections soldered) between the layers. Bend it and they snap open Jun 13 06:59:21 oh Jun 13 06:59:38 it's maybe a bit surprising since it looks and feels the sturdiest part of the whole flex cable Jun 13 06:59:51 it isn't Jun 13 06:59:59 yeah Jun 13 07:00:16 I guess you just saved me a bunch of money :P Jun 13 07:00:27 my pleasure Jun 13 07:00:34 I was thinking of buying the new jolla phone though Jun 13 07:01:02 I preordered yesterday - though I tried hard to not do that Jun 13 07:01:20 hahaha Jun 13 07:01:45 "noooo hand what are you doing? stop it! don't click on 'preorder'! no! nooooooooooooooo" Jun 13 07:01:50 usually I expect the companies to send those things to me for free Jun 13 07:02:07 Heh, really?

Jun 13 18:00:23 ~ask Jun 13 18:00:25 Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic. Don't ask if you can ask a question first. Don't ask if a person is there; just ask what you intended to ask them. Better questions more frequently yield better answers. We are all here voluntarily or against our will. Jun 13 18:03:03 Okay.. I got a lot to ask. First thing is my fone was slow for about about 2 hours. I switched it off. Now when I boot it up, it shows a boot menu. when I choose the first setting. Its ot starting up. Jun 13 18:05:14 you bought it on ebay I'd start with a clean full reflash of the system Jun 13 18:05:18 ~flashing Jun 13 18:05:20 i guess maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware Jun 13 18:05:57 Well, The battery was low. Now I swapped with another battery and it boots up maemo. Why? low battery causes some issue like that? Jun 13 18:07:47 @merlin. I also thought about flashing. but before I do that, I guess I need the lock code. ?? Jun 13 18:09:32 that slow down issue is fixed somehow. I guess that too was a problem of low battery. Jun 13 18:12:15 but the major question I wanted to ask is when I try to make calls, it says cellular connection not avaible something like that. I wanted to know whether It can be fixed by flashing or is thatsome kind of operator lock.? Jun 13 18:16:59 I may go offline anytime if power fails.. here its raining heavily. Jun 13 18:19:14 Can Nokia software updater do flashing or should i use the flasher. silly doubt. Jun 13 18:20:12 saif - use the flasher Jun 13 18:20:26 also, look into live updates Jun 13 18:20:34 and you can use apt on the command line like debian Jun 13 18:20:52 and look into the CSSU, which is the community support project Jun 13 18:20:53 okay. does it require lock code bcoz i dont know the code Jun 13 18:20:57 no Jun 13 18:21:07 you need a working data connection, wireless counts Jun 13 18:21:12 and you nee droot Jun 13 18:21:13 root Jun 13 18:21:23 or go into the software app, and update Jun 13 18:21:45 okay,I am gonna flash it. Jun 13 18:21:48 the nokia page for maemo flasher is down, probably for good Jun 13 18:21:56 there is a community mirror which needs to codes Jun 13 18:22:04 check the wiki, and search the forums at maemo.org Jun 13 18:22:26 the n900 has an unlocked bootloader, and none of them are carrier branded or locked Jun 13 18:24:18 so why cant I make calls. if its not locked why is it saying like cellular network not availabe. I will go with this page http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware and flash it. Jun 13 18:27:04 little help need to choose correct bin file. Jun 13 18:32:16 I am downloading latest vanilla 10.2010.13-2 ~250mb and latest maemo 5 release for n900 ~190. tell me if I am doing wrong. Jun 13 18:42:02 saif most of them are marked by reigon, download the one for you, Jun 13 18:42:08 should be a FIASCO image Jun 13 18:42:19 and follow the wiki on flashing on wiki.maemo.org Jun 13 18:42:38 http://wiki.maemo.org/Flashing Jun 13 18:43:53 thanks but i am already following that guide. bit worried bcoz am using win7 64.
