| xmn | Any smart folks in here at the moment :) | 09:09 |
|---|---|---|
| xmn | I have an interesting usb port issue I'm trying to trouble shoot | 09:10 |
| xmn | I had a successful usb port repair but been acting up and now doesn't charge. But will start the charging if the n900 is turned off and booting into that special charge only mode. | 09:11 |
| clort | have you tried different chargers and cables? | 09:12 |
| xmn | However I wondering could this be software based? Since it still can start the charging process, but then goes into a gharge boot loop. | 09:12 |
| xmn | hey clort, yeah | 09:13 |
| clort | running system needs power, so trickle charge doesn't work, if that's the situation | 09:13 |
| clort | but i'm not a smart person wrt charging | 09:13 |
| KotCzarny | high resistance of some pin? (ie. bad solder) | 09:13 |
| xmn | When I plug one of those usb meters inline, it looks like it never figuring out what kind of charge to give it? PD ... | 09:14 |
| xmn | clort thankfully I have an ext charger and 2 batteries :) | 09:15 |
| xmn | KotCzarny interesting | 09:15 |
| xmn | So do you think this could work at first then slowly break down? | 09:15 |
| clort | what is supplying power | 09:15 |
| clort | computer or dumb 5v charger | 09:15 |
| clort | maybe your power source is trying to do the negotiation | 09:15 |
| xmn | clort I tried them all | 09:16 |
| xmn | For away the computer was working. | 09:16 |
| xmn | Then most only shutdown boot charge (or whatever its called) | 09:16 |
| xmn | KotCzarny would you think reheating the solders could reflow for a better connection? | 09:17 |
| xmn | The other choice is to try and move a tiny magswitch chip for the keyboard over to my 2nd parts board :( | 09:19 |
| clort | i'm not sure what to use n900 for now | 09:24 |
| KotCzarny | maybe you can try measuring reistance | 09:24 |
| clort | thinking maybe streaming webcap with battery backup | 09:24 |
| KotCzarny | to check if it's the case | 09:24 |
| clort | webcam | 09:24 |
| KotCzarny | clort: install oscp and use it as a remotely controlled audio player | 09:25 |
| KotCzarny | soon i will add tidal/spotify support ;) | 09:25 |
| clort | cool | 09:25 |
| clort | is it available for armhf / omap4 too? | 09:25 |
| xmn | Yeah I think this usb meter can do that .. but honestly don't remember how | 09:25 |
| KotCzarny | clort: yeah, although i would have to update the repo | 09:26 |
| KotCzarny | for a quickie i can upload the binary somewhere | 09:26 |
| KotCzarny | or you can build from arch repo | 09:26 |
| xmn | but I can share that it my semi working board shows dcp-1.5a usb2.0-hs, 5.1469v, 0.4494A, 2.3130W | 09:27 |
| xmn | I'm charging it up to see what is the normal stats are | 09:28 |
| KotCzarny | without display n900 eats ~5-10mA | 09:29 |
| KotCzarny | with display on/audio playing its ~100-250mA | 09:30 |
| xmn | yup thats what I have 05810.6mAh | 09:30 |
| xmn | on a different screen | 09:30 |
| xmn | on the meter | 09:30 |
| xmn | I was thinking that maybe I could factory format the device and clean up any issue. But if its like you say then of course that would matter | 09:31 |
| xmn | It's just very inconsistent in how it works | 09:31 |
| clort | that's really amazing low power | 09:32 |
| clort | with omap4 and kernel 5.10 i never get near that | 09:33 |
| clort | but it still has power when i wake up in the morning, so it's all ok | 09:33 |
| xmn | yeah the n900 power usage can be pretty amazing at times | 09:35 |
| xmn | it why I can still get more then a day of battery from a 1300 battery | 09:36 |
| xmn | the sad part is all this work and tmobile is shutting down 2/3g in January So this may really be less a priority. Meaning I had to get a PinePhone to replace it till something better comes along | 09:39 |
| xmn | Anyway thanks guys for giving me ideas and opinions appreciate it. | 09:39 |
| clort | shut down 3g eh so no gsm either? | 09:39 |
| KotCzarny | you can still use n900 for wifi calling maybe | 09:40 |
| KotCzarny | ie. sip/voip | 09:40 |
| xmn | well some body was saying you could do some kind of business gsm thing | 09:40 |
| clort | is there some ez-pz sip call package for linux | 09:40 |
| KotCzarny | n900 has sip integrated | 09:41 |
| clort | cause i am too tired to learn sip | 09:41 |
| xmn | but for consumers I think yeah, will see. | 09:41 |
| clort | hm | 09:41 |
| KotCzarny | so you just create sip account on n900 and it works | 09:41 |
| xmn | sip on the n900 is super easy though | 09:41 |
| xmn | and yup still can use my sip account | 09:41 |
| xmn | sad that skype stop working | 09:41 |
| xmn | But I do find the sip is a bit cpu intensive and that creates call quality issues | 09:42 |
| xmn | Maybe on a fresh clean system it could be better, not sure | 09:43 |
| bencoh | oh, skype finally stopped working on n900? | 10:33 |
| bencoh | xmn: you might want to give droid4+leste a try by the way ... not that it is ready for daily phone use, but ... I think it's in the right direction at least | 10:35 |
| clort | bencoh are the pulseaudio mappings fixed up for droid4 so i can do microphone input now? | 10:43 |
| bencoh | clort: no idea tbh | 10:56 |
| clort | ooh 5.10 is on repo | 11:04 |
| clort | i'll be courageous with one device | 11:04 |
| clort | well i'm retardo with pulseaudio, so i have no mic in | 11:07 |
| dreamer | pulseaudio-- | 11:07 |
| clort | i can arecord with just alsa | 11:08 |
| clort | nice, got calls werkin with alsa | 11:12 |
| bencoh | :) | 11:23 |
| clort | also bencoh with xgamma, pulling down the blue gamma makes d4 have such a cozy mellow look | 11:30 |
| clort | greys are way off but oh well | 11:31 |
| KotCzarny | xcalib ? | 11:31 |
| clort | a shader that only selectively biases saturation of colors that arn't grey is available | 11:31 |
| clort | so you can alter color balance without messing up greys | 11:31 |
| clort | xgamma | 11:31 |
| KotCzarny | xcalib and icc | 11:31 |
| clort | idk that | 11:32 |
| clort | where do i get an ICCPROFILE for this display KotCzarny | 11:34 |
| xmn | bencoh yeah, keeping an eye on maemo-leste. But not a fan of the droid and frankly not looking to jump from one old device to another slightly newer_but_still_really_old_device. I would image also it doesn't support 4g either ;). So with the PinePhone and there keyboard I'm hoping to capture some of the best usability of the n900. we'll see. And leste does run on the PinePhone. Appreciate the recommendation though, some great work being done | 13:14 |
| xmn | on the droid4. | 13:14 |
