| sunshavi | this thing remembers me the n800 dpad light | 01:05 |
|---|---|---|
| sunshavi | https://blink1.thingm.com/ | 01:05 |
| sunshavi | which BTW I miss a lot on the N900 | 01:06 |
| joerg | hmm? | 02:20 |
| joerg | I had no N800, what's "dpad"? | 02:21 |
| sunshavi | this is a dpad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-pad | 03:47 |
| sunshavi | but the one on the n800 has a light that has 3 different patterns | 03:48 |
| sunshavi | one for new email | 03:48 |
| sunshavi | one for new sms | 03:48 |
| sunshavi | so You could visually notice When You have got a new email | 03:48 |
| sunshavi | I think I have been more years an N800 user than an N900 user | 03:49 |
| joerg | and you miss the patterns on N900? | 05:31 |
| joerg | or that particular make of light, or the dpad? | 05:32 |
| joerg | since... there are hardly any patterns the N900 can't do with that nifty "3 cores" programmable LED controller | 05:34 |
| joerg | sicelo: any news? | 05:35 |
| Maxdamantus | Presumably it's just having any notification light. With new phones you normally have to have the screen on to know that there are notificationse | 05:41 |
| Maxdamantus | I installed some app that keeps the screen on if there's a notification, but that doesn't seem optimal to me. | 05:42 |
| Maxdamantus | (on my Android phone that I now use) | 05:42 |
| Maxdamantus | imo the notification light is the second main thing I'm missing (after hardware keyboard), since I don't automatically look at my phone all the time. | 05:43 |
| sicelo | Agreed @notification light. They supplied me with samsung a03s at work, and it feels like a feature phone because of lacking a notification light | 06:36 |
| Vajb | Hmm, my Android phone has white led blinking if there are some new notifications and I kinda thought that all of them have. | 11:23 |
| Vajb | But this is big news and something to recall when replacing my current device... | 11:25 |
| KotCzarny | my huawei p10 lite has a rgb led which is used for notifications too | 11:28 |
| sicelo | Yes there is rgb on S7 too. But the low end phones (a03s) ... those have none | 12:26 |
| KotCzarny | well, 'lite' means its the lowest end of the line | 12:26 |
| sunshavi | joerg: I miss both of them the dpad and the light patterns. But having found the link about the blink. I am just commenting about the light patterns | 16:13 |
| sunshavi | joerg: about the patterns on n900. The n800 dpad light was big and brite. the n900 light is very dwin to me | 16:15 |
| sunshavi | Maxdamantus: I am thinking loudly. Perhaps something like blink could be done with an RP2040 who knows. It should be awesome having it on my notebook | 16:18 |
| sunshavi | JIC and for giving some food for thought. I am enjoying the usb ethernet feature of n900 on those days | 16:20 |
| sunshavi | I use the n900 as an external bluetooth dongle that could use on several machines. without the need of bluetooth-repairing every time I change of device. quite nice | 16:21 |
| sicelo | I've never seen N800 in real life. So where was the light? I can't easily find example online | 16:22 |
| sunshavi | Hi sicelo let me look for it | 16:22 |
| sicelo | I love all the NITs. I personally wish I could have owned N810 | 16:22 |
| sunshavi | https://youtu.be/QyClLbDtkUU?t=332 | 16:32 |
| sunshavi | That's my wish too | 16:32 |
| sunshavi | I still want to have one | 16:32 |
| sunshavi | But. If I own an n810. Probably I would need to fix the usb-ethernet issue It has | 16:33 |
| sunshavi | Last time I reviewed it. It was something related with the kernel | 16:34 |
| sunshavi | sicelo: At that time You could see the dpad with the light turned on. But as mentioned that light has different patterns. That You could notice even in the other side of the room | 16:35 |
| joerg | sicelo: >> I personally wish I could have owned N810<< you tell me NOW??? :-S | 18:31 |
| sicelo | Gawd! I actually did think about that. On the other hand there was that unfortunate limitation in number of items | 18:32 |
| * sicelo wants to kill hisself now | 18:32 | |
| sunshavi | out-of-topic question: sicelo: how Do You highlight your own phrase? | 18:38 |
| sunshavi | out-of-topic question: joerg: Do You use a function to reply to an specific text?. Or You just copied it manually on your reply to sicelo 4 lines above | 18:40 |
| joerg | /me does blabla | 18:40 |
| * joerg does blabla | 18:40 | |
| * sunshavi highlight-first-try | 18:41 | |
| joerg | I completely manually c&p and add >>quote<< | 18:41 |
| sunshavi | ok | 18:42 |
| joerg | sicelo: wait without despair for the next chance :-) | 19:13 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: I have several of these at home | 19:14 |
| Wizzup | if you plan to do mainline stuff I could ship one | 19:14 |
| sunshavi | sicelo: talking about that. How is bluetooth going? | 19:56 |
| sicelo | I'm yet to start | 19:58 |
| sicelo | sunshavi: for completeness, that /me thing is called an action and some people/rooms don't like it :-) | 20:14 |
