**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 29 02:59:58 2016 Mar 29 04:33:53 Weeee n900 arrived Mar 29 05:37:46 bleh, the alarm/timeshift bug hit me.... is that fixed in -testing? Mar 29 05:38:29 (we just switched to DST, and... alarm ran an hour late ..) Mar 29 05:45:31 what bug? My alarm was at the right time, which of course is another issue.. Mar 29 05:45:54 * Defiant would have liked an alarm a bit later Mar 29 07:35:54 So what's the go with CSSU in 2016? Stable or testing? Mar 29 07:38:06 anything goes Mar 29 07:38:42 and still not enough Mar 29 07:46:58 azkay: if you know nothing about linux then go with stable, otherwise testing Mar 29 07:57:32 moin :) Mar 29 08:00:12 I know enough, I just haven't touched N900 in maybe 3 years so I'm not really sure what has changed since haha Mar 29 08:00:43 With everything else that's gone on over with servers closing and mirrors starting, wasn't even sure if CSSU was still going Mar 29 08:22:20 I sure do wish I remembered to turn off wifi power saving before I started the cssu download haha Mar 29 10:27:11 this akku polarcell Mar 29 10:27:12 is pink Mar 29 10:27:14 why is it pink Mar 29 10:29:44 because they go your favorite color from your amazon profile Mar 29 10:30:05 ;< Mar 29 10:33:24 anyway, calibratin Mar 29 10:43:25 lol kerio not wanna be rude or somethin like that but Your nick in mine irssi is also pink... Mar 29 10:44:56 kerio: but guessing when take a high temp of cell they will looks still normal - the same... Mar 29 10:45:10 no like Mar 29 10:45:11 the label Mar 29 10:45:36 ofc second is more joke... Mar 29 10:46:31 kerio: but for serious for n900? expensive was? Mar 29 10:46:49 14.90 on amazon italy Mar 29 10:47:28 what capacity is it? Mar 29 10:47:34 sounds not so bad... takin on mind only few nokia devices using them... Mar 29 10:47:42 FIQ: nominal 1400 Mar 29 10:47:48 isn't it only like Mar 29 10:47:51 should end up being in the high 1400s if it's a legit polarcell Mar 29 10:48:01 N8, N900 and 5800XpressMusic? Mar 29 10:48:09 but c3 Mar 29 10:48:12 there's also a lumia that uses the bl-5j Mar 29 10:48:12 kerio, ah, ok Mar 29 10:48:20 I see Mar 29 10:48:30 go polarcell Mar 29 10:48:35 go go go Mar 29 10:48:40 DUDE I'M GOING CHILL Mar 29 10:48:50 dont be afraid of pink Mar 29 10:48:53 embrace it! Mar 29 10:49:04 at least it isn't lime green Mar 29 10:50:17 but not sure if c3/c2 chargin to full battery capacity... the battery are the same still.. Mar 29 10:51:40 * drathir need reanimate usb in mine... last cssu upgrade go w/o probem even w/o usb good to have second n900 for charging purposes... Mar 29 10:54:52 Version 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo11 onboard... Mar 29 10:59:06 but not yet upgraded kernel power bc of collision in gui updater, and apt-get dont follow HTTP_PROXY env from console... Mar 29 11:00:43 I think the environment variable is usually in lower-case, oddly. Mar 29 11:00:53 dunno if apt-get uses it though. Mar 29 11:01:20 sad there isnt in repo proxychains... Mar 29 11:02:01 will help so much... Mar 29 11:36:14 drathir: did you try making package yourself? Mar 29 12:08:54 KotCzarny: debian packaging is a nightmare... also im not sure if im able to handle build on one battery w/o external charging... Mar 29 12:30:15 drathir: you're building on target platform? :-o Mar 29 12:30:55 truly a god amongst men Mar 29 13:21:44 Is there a working google maps app that anyone knows of? Doesn't work in browser, just tried GeePS which doesn't seem to want to search Mar 29 13:24:35 which part of gmap do you need? the map tiles, or the search? Mar 29 13:24:42 DocScrutinizer05: if i will try build probably will do that directly at n900 not crosscompiling... Mar 29 13:26:13 DocScrutinizer05: the same was doin at alarm on n900 , yea i know its little killing of device and probably not possible to build everything this way... Mar 29 13:30:49 lazy bot Mar 29 13:31:15 and here it is again Mar 29 13:32:18 ~wb Mar 29 13:32:20 It's great to be back!

Mar 29 15:14:45 ...i was going to say "compared to the actual capacity" but that's not really a thing anyway Mar 29 15:14:59 goddamn chemical batteries Mar 29 15:15:11 :-) Mar 29 15:15:37 let's say compared to normal idling/usage Mar 29 15:15:42 the capacity at 5mA might well be 1.5 times that at 250mA Mar 29 15:15:51 damn Mar 29 15:16:25 but that only means that your phone will shutdown instantly when after >1T you try to draw 250mA Mar 29 15:18:11 otoh you still can draw 5mA for 0.5T after battery reached end-of-discharge at 250mA Mar 29 15:18:34 so it's not really that bad an issue Mar 29 15:18:51 the battery literally gets weak Mar 29 15:19:09 eventually it's too weak to let device do some if the tasks Mar 29 15:19:47 s/ if / of / Mar 29 15:19:47 DocScrutinizer05 meant: eventually it's too weak to let device do some of the tasks Mar 29 15:22:15 yes, T is >50* for 5mA compared to 250mA, but that isn't exactly what you're probing for during calibration, you almost can't Mar 29 15:26:58 what you could do is: discharge for a 100 minutes at 5mA, shut off load, let recover 1 minute, probe voltage. Then recharge to 100% and repeat the process with 250mA and 2min discharge. Compare the two voltages. That gives you an idea about the true difference Mar 29 15:28:31 assuming stuff is linear Mar 29 15:29:19 no, you exactly check the chemical/electric nonlinearities in cell here Mar 29 15:30:06 in theory an ideal cell would have identical voltage after 100min@5mA and 2min@250mA Mar 29 15:30:48 a non-ideal ("onlinear") cell will differ in voltage without load, after some recovery time Mar 29 15:31:43 the difference is the correction factor you could apply to discharge metering, based on discharge current Mar 29 15:32:14 actually the ratio, not the difference Mar 29 15:33:25 then you 'only' need to determine what's your question when looking at the battery charge meter Mar 29 15:34:18 is the question "how long will it take until TX at full power will cease?" or is it "how long can I standby idle?" Mar 29 15:34:46 some very smart meters tend to show both values Mar 29 15:35:24 the math behind it is slightly non-trivial but for sure no witchcraft Mar 29 15:39:05 too bad the temporal resolution of the n900 battery controller is so poor Mar 29 15:39:11 otherwise we could do this in software Mar 29 15:42:09 umm, the temporal resolution is around 2.5s Mar 29 15:42:22 for some values Mar 29 15:42:30 a tad higher for others Mar 29 15:43:19 generally the resolution is pretty good for this task, since the gas gauge integrates Mar 29 15:43:51 not voltage but Coulomb Mar 29 15:45:28 but we can't get to know the ability of the battery to handle high and short current spikes that the phone usage mostly consists of Mar 29 15:45:42 via Coulomb you get the integral of discharge for last window (a few seconds). For voltage you need to keep consumption of the device low anyway, since otherwise noise is way too high Mar 29 15:46:27 yes, that's a tad of a problem, you can solve this only with relatively constant high current you use to probe the cell impedance Mar 29 15:47:44 you have a relatively good idea of cell impedance when you once test voltage at 5mA and then at 500mA Mar 29 15:48:39 you get voltage without load by probing several times in a row and taking the maximum out of that sequence Mar 29 15:49:21 afaik it's not quite linear, for instance i've seen liion batteries losing the voltage quickly when a high current was applied, but then stabilizing at some slower pace Mar 29 15:49:38 yes, of course Mar 29 15:49:50 k maybe i should grok the actual theories instead of chatting Mar 29 15:49:52 that's the correction factor mentioned above Mar 29 15:50:57 the internal resistance alone can't account for this event as it takes some time after the current is applied Mar 29 15:51:26 *constant current Mar 29 15:52:33 basically a cell is a huuuuge capacitor (well a pretty nonlinear one) in series to a resistive impedance of up to several 100 milliOhms, with another true capacitor to buffer output voltage (RC timing in the range of 5 to 30s), plus yet another series impedance that dirctly has immediate impact on voltage vs output current without any buffering Mar 29 15:55:28 depending on the accuracy of equivalent virtual circuit you need, you can add more RC stages, one for the sub-1s range and one for the >100s range for example. And yet another for the millisecond range Mar 29 15:56:58 the question is if you need all that to answer your question to the meter, which is yet to be defined precisely Mar 29 15:57:52 ater all any such meter prediction is only based on some assumption regarding usage pattern in the furture Mar 29 15:59:25 if you want a precise meter, you not only need a precise virtual circuit equeivalent of the cell, but also need a zillion concurrent values the meter displays, for a zillion possible usage scenarios during the next 2 to 200h Mar 29 16:06:30 what you can meter and calculate and display relatively precisely is a "xxx mAh left at 300mA constant load until voltage at this current drops below N.N volts" Mar 29 16:07:25 Last Measured Discharge (LMD): 1122.765 mAh what the shit Mar 29 16:07:38 and you probably can also chnage the "300" in this to any other arbitrary value Mar 29 16:08:16 kerio: redo, it might still ahve a hangover from your previous bad battery? Mar 29 16:08:38 it also didn't reset itself when i switched the battery Mar 29 16:08:43 LMD is meaningless unless you get almost same value twice in a row Mar 29 16:08:43 (i used the slide trick) Mar 29 16:08:49 (i shouldn't have used the slide trick) Mar 29 16:09:11 oh hm Mar 29 16:09:14 maybe it didn't calibrate? Mar 29 16:09:16 what's the slide trick? Mar 29 16:09:22 how do i check that again? Mar 29 16:09:32 DocScrutinizer05: lift old battery, slide new battery under it, push it in Mar 29 16:09:41 to maintain the clock Mar 29 16:09:44 check for calibration? see "cycles since last learning" Mar 29 16:09:57 Cycle Count Since Learning Cycle (CYCL): 0 cycles Mar 29 16:10:03 ._. Mar 29 16:10:07 so it calibrated Mar 29 16:10:11 maybe i just got a dud Mar 29 16:10:30 the old battery had the same LMD Mar 29 16:11:00 maybe your gauge didn't accept the LMD since it been to far off from the previous one. It only adjusts a 12.5% per learning cycle iirc Mar 29 16:11:41 we'll see Mar 29 16:11:42 i mean Mar 29 16:11:53 apparently it hit EDV1 at 12% csoc Mar 29 16:12:02 ideally it should be 6, right Mar 29 16:12:31 yes Mar 29 16:13:13 sounds like your new LMD is a 6% (12-8) lower than the previous one Mar 29 16:13:29 (12-6) ohmy Mar 29 16:14:31 you might want to completely charge the cell prior to starting calibration Mar 29 16:15:28 I mean, really charge it for 4h Mar 29 16:15:52 or 1:30 beyond light turns green Mar 29 16:22:09 we'll see Mar 29 16:22:18 but this polarcell looks sketchy as hell tho Mar 29 16:23:15 (slide trick) DocScrutinizer05's magic battery speedswap ;-D Mar 29 16:23:33 DocScrutinizer05: is that fast enough to hotswap a battery, btw? Mar 29 16:23:45 actually I never tested it :-) Mar 29 16:23:57 you should Mar 29 16:24:12 on a regular maemo it fails due to BSI/BME Mar 29 16:24:17 :c Mar 29 16:24:17 huh? never tested the hotswap method you documented on forum? Mar 29 16:24:33 Sicelo: not the hotswap with offline mode, suspend to ram and cable plugged in Mar 29 16:24:38 yoloswapping a battery without another power source Mar 29 16:24:43 ah, ok. Mar 29 16:24:54 by just being very very fast Mar 29 16:25:08 somehow i doubt it will work Mar 29 16:25:16 me too Mar 29 16:25:40 let's see... we got a maybe... Mar 29 16:26:40 200uF buffer on Vbatt Mar 29 16:26:55 less math more yolo Mar 29 16:26:55 we have a idle current around 5mA Mar 29 16:27:10 DocScrutinizer05: even with software suspend? Mar 29 16:28:26 0.2mAs/V / 5mA = 0.04s/V Mar 29 16:28:44 suspend to ram are 2 or 3mA Mar 29 16:29:32 seems at battery end voltage of 3.4V you could get away with 20ms swap time Mar 29 16:29:51 *might* work Mar 29 16:30:31 hi all. got my first n900. it says 10.2010.19-1.002 for version. app manager works. installed dropbear ssh client. got SIM for GPRS. Monitoring my system via ncurses app. All working. mind blown! Bought two more from ebay. installed rootsh, setup passwds, installed dropbear server. poking around remotely via wlan. amazing. if it is you guys still running the repos where I got dropbear and rootsh. Thank you so much! thats it for now. sorry to bother you. b Mar 29 16:31:36 not bothering us at all Mar 29 16:31:40 welcome here! Mar 29 16:32:00 ~jrtools Mar 29 16:32:01 jrtools is, like, http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools Mar 29 16:34:35 bluto271828: please stay and bother us some more :-) Mar 29 16:34:52 bluto271828: you may want to upgrade your version of Maemo Mar 29 16:34:59 ~cssu Mar 29 16:35:00 somebody said cssu was http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU, or (Community Seamless Software Update) Mar 29 16:35:03 cool. thanks. as I have time will use other phones to start playing around. see if I can install this CSSU. understand how to clash Mar 29 16:35:08 flash sorry Mar 29 16:35:24 ~slashing Mar 29 16:35:30 ~flashing Mar 29 16:35:31 somebody said maemo-flashing was http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware, or - on linux PC - download&extract http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/maemo-my-private-workdir.tgz, cd into it, do sudo ./flash-it-all.sh Mar 29 16:35:57 yeah I'm going to wait for the 2nd phone to arrive first. this one is already too useful :) Mar 29 16:36:07 hehe Mar 29 16:36:13 ~bm Mar 29 16:36:13 well, backupmenu is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63975 Mar 29 16:36:38 in someways it is depressing to realize things have gone backwards. why the f isnt there something like this anymore. it sucks. Mar 29 16:36:50 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91142 Mar 29 16:37:21 sure, way too expensive, sorry for that Mar 29 16:38:08 anyway you're not alone, welcome to the club of people who don't like those leete new whyPhones Mar 29 16:38:41 yeah i will buy it if you are able to make it. not too expensive. Mar 29 16:39:35 we are only able to make it when we get sufficient preorders. This isn't a product built for shelf, it's built to order with your name on it ;-) Mar 29 16:39:50 yeah i understand Mar 29 16:40:00 no problem i will preorder just haven't hot that far yet Mar 29 16:40:13 :-D Mar 29 16:40:16 welcome Mar 29 16:40:17 only figure out what is going on like last week Mar 29 16:40:34 got that far. i mean Mar 29 16:40:43 nice you finally found this niche of the scene Mar 29 16:41:33 /join #neo900 Mar 29 16:42:10 * DocScrutinizer05 shuts up - too much advertisement Mar 29 16:42:10 yeah i did last week. slowly slowly Mar 29 16:43:01 I'm the guy in duty of Neo900 Mar 29 16:43:11 i understand Mar 29 16:43:21 here however it's about N900 and maemo devices at large Mar 29 16:43:47 ;-) Mar 29 16:44:12 why dropbear? I use OpenSSH Mar 29 16:46:05 i'll be back as I have anything to contribute. no reason. it was the first as I was scrolling through and I honestly wasn't expecting it to work. so I just clicked on it. then I realized I need to solve this root issue. so found a description saying rootfs package will fix the sudo gainroot Mar 29 16:46:37 yes Mar 29 16:46:50 just beware of apt-get upgrade! Mar 29 16:47:27 get CSSU-testing, it comes with speedyham which is incredibly faster than stock HAM Mar 29 16:47:57 upgrading to CSSU is a pretty low risk easy thing that won't break your device Mar 29 16:48:00 or system Mar 29 16:48:51 yeah that is why I immediately ordered 2 more. As soon as I realized this will work for my problem but at the same time I want to learn HOW it is working. I can tell from your Wiki and other stuff this will get pretty hands on. so 2 more on their way to me via ebay Mar 29 16:49:21 where from? Mar 29 16:49:42 private seller, or hongkong refurbished? Mar 29 16:50:55 I'll come back when I can mess around more. Don't let me distract you from whatever it is you are working on now. 1st one came from US, some random guy in AL it seems. Mar 29 16:51:47 the 2nd one looks like again from some in US. 3rd says hongkong Mar 29 16:51:48 you want to check Mar 29 16:51:52 ~jrtools Mar 29 16:51:52 well, jrtools is http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/tools Mar 29 16:52:39 absolutely. thank you i will follow your steps Mar 29 16:56:28 you all have my best wishes and its super cool you are here to ask questions and to help. hopefully over time I'll find a way to help you back. gotta run right now to finish working on dam tax stuff to give to my cpa. but anyway, i'll lurk when I can. and when I have a 2nd device i'll start again playing around. talk to you later and good luck!!
