brolin_empeyRe: 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's14:38
badcloud_Are there any other known causes for the battery meter to constantly show 100% and then low battery suddenly?14:39
KotCzarnycalibration?14:39
KotCzarnyor dying batt14:39
badcloud_I calibrated last night14:40
KotCzarnyinstall battery-eye14:40
KotCzarnyyou will see how the discharge curve looks14:40
badcloud_Thanks14:41
KotCzarnyand keep in mind calibration might take more than one attempt14:42
KotCzarnybecause bq doesnt like big changes and gets there in smaller steps14:43
badcloud_I see14:43
swapper1Does anybody know any mirror for tablets-dev.nokia.com (this one is offline now)14:48
KotCzarny~maemo-repos14:48
infobot[maemo-repos] http://wiki.maemo.org/Repository#List_of_Maemo_repositories14:48

badcloud_Oh, I see14:50
badcloud_Thanks14:51
swapper1I can see there flashing utilities but not OS images to reflash :-(14:53
KotCzarny~flashing14:53
infobotit 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 ~lazyflashing14:53
KotCzarnyif that's what you crave for14:53
badcloud_https://fladnag.net/downloads/telephone/n900/14:53
KotCzarnyrun that script from tgz14:53
KotCzarnyit will download proper files for you automagically14:53
KotCzarnyand flash the phone too14:54
swapper1I need images for my N77014:54
KotCzarnyahm14:54
swapper1and for my N81014:54
KotCzarnyn810 images are the same as n80014:54
badcloud_Was the idea to let battery-eye run in the background while recalibrating?14:56
KotCzarnybadcloud: nah, just generic battery info14:56
KotCzarnyyou dont need it for calibration14:56
badcloud_Gotcha14:57
KotCzarnybut it's useful to familiarize how your battery perfroms week to week14:57
badcloud_Thanks14:57
badcloud_True14:57
KotCzarnybasically, too low voltage and phone will shutdown14:57
KotCzarnyolder batteries tend to have lower voltage sooner, and drop quick on bigger loads14:58
KotCzarnyswapper1: if you cant find the flashing images for n8x0 i might search if i have them somewhere still14:58
badcloud_Is there a good place to buy "new" batteries?14:59
