WikiwideHmm, my N900's cellular antenna (near battery, see antenna locations at https://david.gnedt.at/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/n900_antenna_locations.jpg ) is worn to the extent that I can see copper, and that copper is half-covered by green rust.00:20
WikiwideBut I don't think I have any problems with cellular reception00:20

blebanyone here know how to mount a symbian s60 device on linux?21:29
blebit shows up in dmesg but not lsblk21:29
bleband when i plug it in, the phone displays a dialog which lets me select mass storage mode, but this has no effect (doesn't show up in dmesg)21:29
blebanyone have experience with this crap?21:29
sicelobad cable?21:32
Vajbmaybe it could work with wine?21:32
blebjust tried 2 other cables so i don't think that's it21:41
blebVajb: nokia used to have this "PC suite" thing, and it's one of the options next to "mass storage mode"21:41
blebi think the PC suite might require wine but mass storage doesn't normally have an application associated with it21:42
blebso like idk what software i would run on wine21:42
sicelowhat symbian phone?21:43
blebe5221:43
VajbI can't recall if I ever get my Symbian phone to mount in linux21:45
sicelothat one should not have any issues really with mass storage mode.21:45
sicelowut! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_E52/E5521:46
siceloMTP? ... i didn't know Symbian supported that21:47
blebsicelo: so i was able to get the photos off it with gphoto222:05
blebbut no luck as far as exploring the filesystem, backing up contacts/texts, etc.22:05
siceloyou cna't backup contacts/texts via mass storage on any device anyway ...22:10
sicelo*can't22:10
siceloyou'd need PC Suite for that22:11
blebah22:15
blebi don't think it works in wine22:16
blebbut backing up contacts/texts is rare enough that i could do it in a windows vm22:16
blebsicelo: do you know anything about developing apps with pys60?22:17
bleblike would that require PC Suite?22:17
siceloi tried it once on my N-Gage22:17
siceloanyway, shouldn't need a pc at all22:17
blebsicelo: you mean for pys60?  or for anything22:18
sicelopys6022:19
blebhow would that work?  i thought side loading apps requires you to copy the .sisx file to some directory on the phone22:20
Sicelo009Nnot sure i understand you now - if you have pys60 installed, what do you need a .sisx  file for?22:21
bleboh i'm not sure22:24
blebi haven't done any devleopment yet22:24
blebhow would you normally develop apps in pys60?22:24
Sicelo009Ni did really basic tests (and N-Gage) is really old phone anywy. but the python interpret works as usual22:25
Sicelo009Nsince it's python, surely it has to be .py text files22:26
blebSicelo009N: so how do you get them from your computer to the phone?22:26
Sicelo009Nif you wrote them on pc, then of course, you'd need usb mass storage, or bluetooth22:27
blebi guess you could put them on a web server22:27
Sicelo009Nthat too22:28
blebthen download them manually from your phone22:28
Sicelo009Nsymbian tended to have high-quality applications. unlike what we're served by the other ecosystems nowadays22:33
inzSymbian "C++" was so painful that all it repelled all low-quality developers22:34
bleblol yeah22:34
blebi'm always wary of stuff written in modern languages... they make things so easy that shitty developers can get things to pass tests22:35
Sicelo009N:-)22:35
ShadowJKSymbian made it extremely difficult to write anything that used power22:48
