brolin_empey | Re: URI of https://wiki.maemo.org/N900_The_Perfect_Setup/alternative-1 : Regardless of the software configuration, no setup with the N900 can be perfect due to hardware limitations even when the N900 was new. | 08:07 |
---|---|---|
badcloud_ | I read that sometimes unofficial batteries cause the battery meter to malfunction in N900's | 14:38 |
badcloud_ | Are there any other known causes for the battery meter to constantly show 100% and then low battery suddenly? | 14:39 |
KotCzarny | calibration? | 14:39 |
KotCzarny | or dying batt | 14:39 |
badcloud_ | I calibrated last night | 14:40 |
KotCzarny | install battery-eye | 14:40 |
KotCzarny | you will see how the discharge curve looks | 14:40 |
badcloud_ | Thanks | 14:41 |
KotCzarny | and keep in mind calibration might take more than one attempt | 14:42 |
KotCzarny | because bq doesnt like big changes and gets there in smaller steps | 14:43 |
badcloud_ | I see | 14:43 |
swapper1 | Does anybody know any mirror for tablets-dev.nokia.com (this one is offline now) | 14:48 |
KotCzarny | ~maemo-repos | 14:48 |
infobot | [maemo-repos] http://wiki.maemo.org/Repository#List_of_Maemo_repositories | 14:48 |
badcloud_ | battery-eye doesn't show anything... | 14:49 |
KotCzarny | battery-eye collects data | 14:49 |
KotCzarny | so see tomorrow what it logged | 14:49 |
KotCzarny | swapper1: see maemo.muarf.org/tablets-dev/ | 14:50 |
badcloud_ | Oh, I see | 14:50 |
badcloud_ | Thanks | 14:51 |
swapper1 | I can see there flashing utilities but not OS images to reflash :-( | 14:53 |
KotCzarny | ~flashing | 14:53 |
infobot | it has been said that maemo-flashing is 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; or see ~flashing-cmdline, or see ~lazyflashing | 14:53 |
KotCzarny | if that's what you crave for | 14:53 |
badcloud_ | https://fladnag.net/downloads/telephone/n900/ | 14:53 |
KotCzarny | run that script from tgz | 14:53 |
KotCzarny | it will download proper files for you automagically | 14:53 |
KotCzarny | and flash the phone too | 14:54 |
swapper1 | I need images for my N770 | 14:54 |
KotCzarny | ahm | 14:54 |
swapper1 | and for my N810 | 14:54 |
KotCzarny | n810 images are the same as n800 | 14:54 |
badcloud_ | Was the idea to let battery-eye run in the background while recalibrating? | 14:56 |
KotCzarny | badcloud: nah, just generic battery info | 14:56 |
KotCzarny | you dont need it for calibration | 14:56 |
badcloud_ | Gotcha | 14:57 |
KotCzarny | but it's useful to familiarize how your battery perfroms week to week | 14:57 |
badcloud_ | Thanks | 14:57 |
badcloud_ | True | 14:57 |
KotCzarny | basically, too low voltage and phone will shutdown | 14:57 |
KotCzarny | older batteries tend to have lower voltage sooner, and drop quick on bigger loads | 14:58 |
KotCzarny | swapper1: if you cant find the flashing images for n8x0 i might search if i have them somewhere still | 14:58 |
badcloud_ | Is there a good place to buy "new" batteries? | 14:59 |
KotCzarny | ~polarcell | 14:59 |
infobot | i guess polarcell is BL-5J Replacement - Wannasee Electronic on Ebay or http://www.wannsee-electronic.de/handyakkus/nokia/polarcell_hochleistungsakku_fuer_nokia_n900_ersetzt_originalakku__bl-5j_i2_2090_0.htm | 14:59 |
KotCzarny | and that 1600mAh is the real number, tested by maemo.org users | 15:00 |
badcloud_ | Nice | 15:01 |
KotCzarny | unlike some other replacements which are a lottery | 15:01 |
badcloud_ | Hmmm, German | 15:06 |
badcloud_ | Can't seem to find them on ebay | 15:07 |
KotCzarny | ebay is a lottery too | 15:09 |
badcloud_ | I see | 15:10 |
badcloud_ | Google translate then! | 15:10 |
bencoh | I bougt my polarcell on ebay, but that was years ago | 15:10 |
KotCzarny | :) | 21:12 |
