Apr 26 15:13:17 <sunshavi> I am a maemo user again. Back on using my n900 with screen not working
Apr 26 15:14:00 <sunshavi> found a way of making calls from the terminal
Apr 26 15:15:00 <Wizzup> heh
Apr 26 15:16:18 <sunshavi>  Yes it is nice
Apr 26 15:16:22 <sunshavi> I am enjoying it
Apr 26 15:16:47 <sunshavi> back from clamshelf (motorola razor)
Apr 26 15:20:09 <sunshavi> for answering a call Shift+Up
Apr 26 15:20:17 <sunshavi> for hanging Shift+Down
Apr 26 15:22:05 <sunshavi> Ctrl+Down focus on the terminal needed for making phone-calls. Ctrl+Up focus on another terminal that I use for checking if phone is connected to the network, and connecting it when necessary
Apr 26 15:22:35 <sunshavi> even the phone reads me the last sms message. 
Apr 26 15:26:11 <sunshavi> now I need to code something for the phone telling me. When an entering-call is from a person that is part from my address-book. Perhaps using the led I am thinking
Apr 26 15:40:03 <sicelo> Ans fix the screen. It's easier than usb port :-)
Apr 26 15:41:38 <sicelo> Probably just flex cable. You could Hopefully find a really borked n900 to buy and salvage cable from
Apr 26 15:45:47 <sunshavi> impossible to fix it. It is not possible to remove the bolt for opening the device
Apr 26 15:45:47 <sunshavi>  
Apr 26 15:46:22 <sunshavi> sicelo: BTW. hi sicelo
Apr 26 15:47:05 <sicelo> Hey :-)
Apr 26 16:22:41 <bencoh> nice to see you back to n900 :)
Apr 26 16:23:11 <bencoh> (sad to hear that you need to struggle with the UI though, but ...)
Apr 26 16:47:21 <sunshavi> bencoh: Hi bencoh. Sure. It is an issue. But also it proves how useful this device is. Even without the screen. 
Apr 26 16:48:38 <sicelo> :-)
Apr 26 16:48:43 <sunshavi> my other n900-with-modem-failed is still used as usb-ethernet. I am thinking on using it when trying freebsd. It is very difficult connecting freebsd with wifi-dongles
Apr 26 16:49:49 <sunshavi> was n900 the first device with usb-ethernet. I remember it was not possible with n800
Apr 26 16:50:14 <sunshavi> n800 has an issue with the kernel for it properly working
Apr 26 20:34:49 <joerg> sunshavi: drill out the "bolt" (screw?)
Apr 26 20:42:36 <sunshavi> Mmm. I do not have the tool for doing it. But Right doing carefully the screw could be drilled out
Apr 26 20:42:58 <sunshavi> I am not sure I want to take the risk 
Apr 26 20:46:21 <sunshavi> The screw was damaged, because I did not used the right screwdriver 
Apr 26 20:48:52 <sunshavi> when changing the screen. when the screen was broken. Also perhaps the second n900-with-modem-failed the damaged was caused because the unit has dropped a lot of times. n900 needs a good case (in case of dropping). 
Apr 26 20:54:56 <sixwheeledbeast> I would point you to ~fixribbon but no bot...

Apr 26 21:00:55 <sixwheeledbeast> scroll down
Apr 26 21:01:04 <sunshavi> swb: Hi sixwheeledbeast. I have not noticed the bot is down. thanks for reminding it
Apr 26 21:01:27 <sixwheeledbeast> it's not down it never came from freenode.
Apr 26 21:01:46 <sunshavi> Oh. I see
Apr 26 21:02:11 <sixwheeledbeast> I am of the opinion some of these screws are borked from the factory
Apr 26 21:03:46 <sixwheeledbeast> I have taken a few apart now and some will NOT move even with the correct well fitting tips
Apr 26 21:04:27 <sunshavi> this one. was removed once. The next time it was not possible
Apr 26 21:05:26 <sunshavi> Oh my God. on that post modem was fixed. Could I fix mine-one?
