Feb 15 11:30:26 <Sicelo> ceene: i am still unable to receive whatsapp messages from my sister (Lumia 520)
Feb 15 11:30:55 <Sicelo> my friend with iphone can talk fine
Feb 15 14:21:57 <Sicelo> what PIM software/tools you use on your computers? i don't use any for now. specifically i'm thinking of calendar/tasks ...
Feb 15 14:22:41 <KotCzarny> sicelo, remember lcuk's liqcalendar ?
Feb 15 14:22:54 <KotCzarny> the one where you can just scribble notes on the days directly
Feb 15 14:23:05 <KotCzarny> (like you would on paper calendar)
Feb 15 14:24:41 <Sicelo> no. never used it. i was just beginning on linux when he passed on
Feb 15 14:24:58 <KotCzarny> it was quite functional at the time
Feb 15 14:25:38 <Sicelo> so what do people use now :)
Feb 15 14:26:05 <Sicelo> i would like to get something useable ..and if possible, that i could sync with N900 somehow
Feb 15 14:26:58 <KotCzarny> well, why syncing when you are carrying n900 with yourself all the time
Feb 15 14:27:00 <KotCzarny> ;)
Feb 15 14:27:41 <Sicelo> becuase PC has better screen, better keyboard, etc.
Feb 15 14:28:06 <KotCzarny> um, which part of 'scribbling' did i do not accent?
Feb 15 14:28:17 <KotCzarny> not using keyboard at all on it
Feb 15 14:29:22 <Sicelo> scribbling won't do my any good on a computer. i am not good with mouse control
Feb 15 14:29:54 <Sicelo>  s/my/me/
Feb 15 14:30:19 <bencoh> KotCzarny: I hardly keep my n900 at and's reach when at home
Feb 15 14:30:28 <bencoh> hand's*
Feb 15 14:30:53 <KotCzarny> as for answering the original question, i just set up an alarm
Feb 15 14:31:03 <Sicelo> i guess it's going to have to be bloaty Evolution :-/
Feb 15 14:31:12 <KotCzarny> and tell my gf to remind me about stuff in time
Feb 15 14:31:18 <Sicelo> hmm, you don't get it KotCzarny.
Feb 15 14:31:36 <bencoh> Sicelo: what about w2do or lite2do ?
Feb 15 14:31:58 <bencoh> (I don't really use either, but ... they might suit your needs)
Feb 15 14:31:59 <Sicelo> going to look at that. thanks for suggesting
Feb 15 14:33:24 <Sicelo> Andre Klapper maintains documentation for evolution ... interesting
Feb 15 14:35:12 <Sicelo> syncing evolution is of coure relatively easy on N900 .. sync-evolution (hope it still works)
Feb 15 15:47:35 <ceene> i synchronize against owncloud
Feb 15 15:47:43 <ceene> via caldav and an exchange server on linux
Feb 15 15:47:47 <ceene> same as email
Feb 15 15:51:20 <ceene> won't somebody know why sometimes my PC forgets that i want key repetition enabled?
Feb 15 15:51:32 <ceene> i have to do xset r from time to time
Feb 15 15:52:10 <KotCzarny> maybe some program disables it
Feb 15 15:52:22 <ecc3g> problem with desktop environment?
Feb 15 15:52:30 <ceene> my window manager is i3wm
Feb 15 15:52:34 <ceene> so no shitty things there
Feb 15 15:52:45 <ceene> and the rest of things is just lots of xterms, an iceweasel and little else
Feb 15 15:53:12 <bencoh> feels (almost) like home
Feb 15 17:20:27 <London58> Hi. I have a N900 that is getting random flakyness with the modem connection. dmesg shows lots of "gprs0: attached" but not much else. Is this the modem BGA failure problem?
Feb 15 17:22:13 <London58> I have tried sticking some paper in with the SIM card, but it doesn't seem to affect it. The connection just intermittently goes up and down.
Feb 15 17:27:09 <London58> "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.get_registration_status" produces a "3" for status (No SIM found).
Feb 15 17:27:45 <London58> I need to find another SIM to test I guess...
Feb 15 17:30:55 <London58> "dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.SIM /com/nokia/phone/SIM Phone.Sim.get_sim_status" produces"uint32 1
Feb 15 17:31:04 <London58> "uint32 1"
Feb 15 17:31:10 <London58> "int32 0"
Feb 15 17:54:29 <DocScrutinizer05> London58: yes, this sounds like BGA break. Paper won't help
Feb 15 17:54:55 <DocScrutinizer05> ~springfix
Feb 15 17:54:55 <infobot> well, springfix is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1243160#post1243160  and http://www.jabawok.net/?p=14
Feb 15 17:55:09 <DocScrutinizer05> is the only thing that *might* help, for a while
Feb 15 17:57:30 <DocScrutinizer05> you could try cleaning the SIM contacts on both SIM and SIMtray. Take care to not bend the SIMtray contact springs! gentle wiping with plain unvarnished thin carton is recommended
Feb 15 17:58:09 <DocScrutinizer05> in extreme cases you can use a "blue" rubber eraser (the one with sand embedded)
Feb 15 18:00:11 <DocScrutinizer05> wiping direction for the springs is *always* from solder point to tip if spring
Feb 15 18:00:22 <DocScrutinizer05> s/ if / of /
Feb 15 18:00:22 <infobot> DocScrutinizer05 meant: wiping direction for the springs is *always* from solder point to tip of spring
Feb 15 18:01:37 <DocScrutinizer05> watch out to not get to the opposite 3-row of springs which have 180° opposite direction and would break for sure when wiping them from tip to bottom
Feb 15 18:05:27 <DocScrutinizer05> correctly working contact springs in SIMtray will have their tips ending exactly flush with the outer surface of the steel SIM holder, in those 6 holes
Feb 15 21:01:23 <London58> DocScrutinizer05: I have applied the spring "fix". It boots and connects fine, and I have a better signal than before! I hope this will keep my N900 going for a while longer. Thanks.
Feb 15 21:01:41 <DocScrutinizer05> yw#
Feb 15 21:02:42 <London58> Has anyone had success reflowing their N900? It looks like there are a lot of hard to remove plastic parts on the board.
Feb 15 21:03:18 <London58> I was considering getting it reflowed, but hopefully the springs will delay that.
Feb 15 21:03:25 <DocScrutinizer05> yep, very hard. But since you already detected the problem items, I'm sure it's worth a try
Feb 15 21:04:34 <London58> Well, I'll keep it in mind as a last resort (before buying another phone, that is).
Feb 15 21:04:56 <kerio> buy another n900 :D
Feb 15 21:05:23 <London58> I'm hoping the springs will last until the Neo900 is out.
Feb 15 21:05:24 <bencoh> some people managed to reflow it, yeah
Feb 15 21:05:34 <bencoh> there were a few posts on TMO
Feb 15 21:06:03 <London58> I saw some posts on it, but some of the ones I saw said their phone never booted after trying it.
Feb 15 21:09:46 <bencoh> well, reflowing is a bit like flipping a coin, unfortunately
Feb 15 21:09:54 <bencoh> you never really know what'll happen
Feb 15 21:15:06 <ds3> what about a limited hot air with reflow?
Feb 15 21:21:14 <DocScrutinizer05> yep, supposedly the best method
Feb 15 21:21:49 <DocScrutinizer05> preheat PCB to maybe 100°C, then apply hot air selectively to the chip and PCB around it
Feb 15 21:22:04 <DocScrutinizer05> hot air of exactly 240°
Feb 15 21:22:54 <DocScrutinizer05> this would be my uneducated approach
Feb 15 21:23:52 <DocScrutinizer05> ooh, and applying low viscosity SMT flux to flow under the chips before you start
Feb 15 21:25:39 <ds3> make sure it is no clean flux
Feb 15 21:32:21 <DocScrutinizer05> no-clean, not "no clean" ;-)
Feb 15 21:38:38 <bencoh> yeah, flux always help :)
Feb 15 21:38:42 <bencoh> +s
Feb 16 00:48:30 <Oksana> Hmm, it's obviously a fake, but a surprisingly cheap fake: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2450mAh-Gold-Li-ion-3-7V-Battery-BL-5J-For-Nokia-5228-5230-5233-5800-ER/380988572420
Feb 16 00:57:28 <Oksana> Nice one, free international shipping, and "NedRo" brand? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Battery-for-Nokia-5800-Xpress-N900-X6-C3-BL-5J-ON203-CA-/252186531725 Claims 1400mAh
Feb 16 00:58:37 <Oksana> Is it just me, or is Mugen Power offline? https://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/
Feb 16 00:58:58 <Oksana> "Account Suspended" sounds ominous ^
Feb 16 01:18:55 <fishbulb> hey
Feb 16 01:19:13 <fishbulb> does google talk still work on cssu
Feb 16 01:19:24 <fishbulb> it won't sign in
Feb 16 01:30:21 <fishbulb> hey anyone?
Feb 16 01:56:55 <char> hey guys, a quick help. My n900 can't sense any microSD I insert, it still has its magnet where it needs to be and I can't see how. I haven't enabled CSSU. Do you think that could help solve the problem or is it likely to be a hardware-related one? The microSD doesn't show in the output to "df -h" and I have got /dev/mmcb1k0p1-2-3)
Feb 16 01:58:40 <char> and I can't see how it doesn't*, I understand how the magnet didn't disappear :P
