brolin_empeyVajb: I was going to try calling Samsung customer service again last night but before I could my friend called me and asked me about using his Windows 7 computer to search for text in .csv files so I spent the time learning how to use the findstr program included with Windows because he does not have (GNU) grep because he usually does not use the Command-Line Interface.  I guess Samsung customer service is currently closed because it is currently night in09:35
brolin_empeyNorth America but I can try calling them again later today.09:35
inzFatPhil_, in the Tampere region, but I'm not parting ways with my N900s (nor N800, nor N810s)10:34
WikiwideCellular modem problems. Due to communication error, all cellular functions disabled. To recover, reboot may be needed.14:21
KotCzarny['] modem dying?14:21
WikiwideSounds like it. How to solve this?14:22
KotCzarnyor weak battery14:22
WikiwideWeak battery, well, could be. How to check?14:22
KotCzarnyalthough weak battery mostly results in 'out of service'14:22
KotCzarnyif your battery is charged >50%, then it's not the battery14:22
Wikiwide3.588V, definitely low battery?14:23
KotCzarnywell, charge it then14:23
KotCzarnyat least for half an hour and check if the modem gets better14:23
WikiwideHaven't fixed charging port yet.14:23
KotCzarnybut as i've mentioned, battery wouldnt cause modem disabling14:24
WikiwideIf it was possible to be on Internet without wireless... But that, again, requires good USB port.14:24
KotCzarnysome did heat reflow of the modem14:24
WikiwideHeat reflow, how?14:24
KotCzarnyyou still have bt i guess14:24
KotCzarnyfor network connectivity14:24
WikiwideBluetooth isn't particularly useful for Internet access?14:25
KotCzarnynot especially mobile solution but would work at home/work14:25
KotCzarnynot safe though14:25
KotCzarnyfor modem tips, check tmo, i guess14:26
WikiwideAt this rate, there might as well be Internet over TRRS. Four pins aren't much, but then, USB has only two data pins...14:26
WikiwideHow much voltage does modem require at peak workloads? I am still hoping it's just a combination of cellular Internet, incoming SMS, and lots of open apps.14:28
Wikiwide16 windows, and seven of them are web pages.14:28

WikiwideOnce Fxtec arrives, it will be not a moment too soon. Hope it runs Leste...14:30

KotCzarnythis is interesting14:31
WikiwideOf course, imageshack doesn't have the image.14:35
KotCzarnybut reading the thread gives general idea what's community knows14:37
WikiwideIn short, if it's cellular chip, then reflow station may be required.14:41
WikiwideWeirdly silent after 2015. Is there any record of anybody resolving the problem? With a solution more permanent/reliable than "stick a piece of cardboard for pressure" or "something spring" or "something hammer"?14:47
WikiwideBecause reflow station is difficult to find, but hot air is available at local makerspace.14:48
