| buZz | i dont think there's a survey? | 02:26 |
|---|---|---|
| buZz | but n900 is nice hw, just ... kinda a raspi1 | 02:26 |
| buZz | droid4 is nicer screen, lighter device, more ram, faster cpu, nicer keyboard, wayyyyy cheaper device (as long as you can find em) | 02:26 |
| buZz | hell, even a new pinephone + keyboard case could be cheaper than a n900 :) | 02:27 |
| xmn | I still daily drive my n900. But the keyboard was falling apart on one of them. Key actually fell off mid call .. lol :(. On my backup keyboard now. | 04:16 |
| xmn | Plus tmob is shutting down 3g for realz this time in US :(. so either my Pinephone will be my daily (doesn't seem likely, for critical use) or very likely I will drop sailfish on a used android :(. | 04:18 |
| xmn | One day a true replacement for my n900 will arrive. fxtec is pretty close. | 04:18 |
| xmn | just needs a pen, heh | 04:19 |
| sicelo | Mainline situation on fxtec is still not very clear iirc | 08:22 |
| enyc | Ooooo wasn't aware of fxtec -- it it just costly as niche matter? | 09:29 |
| buZz | xmn: imho, 2G is totally fine :) | 15:48 |
| buZz | wooo, retrained battery in my second droid4 , its claiming 1047mAh now , (~1day) | 17:32 |
| buZz | earlier trained it by playing video on loop, told me 700mAh :( | 17:32 |
| buZz | really wonder what values i'll get once the batterydetection finally works or defaults to a actual droid4 battery :P | 17:33 |
| buZz | enyc: afaik its by XDA-developers and wont get very mass produced | 17:48 |
| freemangordon | HI there. Did I miss something? | 18:33 |
| xmn | buZz 2g would be find but I think they are or have turned that off for consumers already as well. We'll see. | 19:47 |
| buZz | xmn: -quite- sure they wont ever turn it off | 20:06 |
| buZz | so many GPS trackers, security systems, datamonitoring that depends on it | 20:06 |
| xmn | yeah | 20:06 |
| buZz | >200km range so you dont need 93845738947598347873489579 celltowers like 5G | 20:06 |
| xmn | will see, I remember someone else saying something similar. Using a business iot sim plan or something over 2g even 3g. But removing it from most consumer plans. | 20:07 |
| buZz | xmn: welp i have a 4G simcard on derpcheap network | 20:31 |
| buZz | 2G works very well :) they even still have Edge enabled! i was amazed | 20:31 |
| buZz | hmm weird, was getting some kinda locales error, dpkg-reconfigure locales , generated all, made default en_US.utf-8 , still not fixed? | 20:47 |
| * buZz tries a reboot | 20:47 | |
| xmn | buZz nice. I will still of course have 4g on my Pinephone. But hoping that I don't have to retire my n900 just yet. | 21:11 |
| buZz | :) well, for irc 2g is more than plenty | 21:13 |
| buZz | and even webbrowsing is totally fine | 21:13 |
| xmn | yeah. Well it is nice to have 4g for connect your laptop. But hey I.m happy if it still works :) | 21:14 |
| buZz | :) havent figured out how to tether through leste on droid4 yet, thusfar its been enough of a modern linux for my needs :) | 21:15 |
| xmn | :) | 21:19 |
| buZz | how does a n900 do with modern websites? | 22:37 |
| sicelo | Badly | 22:42 |
| sicelo | I think it's reasonable to conclude N900 cannot browse the web anymore. Just got to limit its use to other linuxy stuff | 22:43 |
| bencoh | pretty much yeah | 22:44 |
| bencoh | except for those lightweight jsfree sites | 22:44 |
| bencoh | (or the google mobile/light/whatever version that google returns for some sites on low-spec mobiles) | 22:45 |
| buZz | welp, droid4 with qtwebbrowser is pretty spiffy | 22:48 |
| sicelo | I plan to work on the bluetooth next (N900), and maybe have a go at voice calls one more time | 23:10 |
