Re: [maemo-developers] Question about intercepting the HOME button
Hi, Tapani Pälli wrote: HOME-key is special. HOME button should always take you to home whatever the situation is (even if input is being grabbed by a menu). Therefore this key is handled in lower levels and Gtk application cannot do things with it. BTW: wouldn't it be nice, when the button bring you after another use back where you was before? For example I listen to music and push the home button to check how late it is. After this I would like to switch back to the audio player, just pushing home. Do you think this would be an improvement? Regards, Keywan ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

The voltage and the current provided by the battery is much different from the values provided by an electric cable connected to a socket (220V and 50Hz here in Italy). I know that, been there for 28 years :-D That's why our measurement tools wouldn't work with such a small current... Then I would recommend you to fix the design of you measurement setup if you want to get anything useful out of it. You know the battery capacitance, the promised standby time and browsing time, you can figure out the current value that you are going to measure.

Without knowing your tools let's screen the problem - the battery is 1500 mAh and it can deliver power to the device for hours, say 5 h. This means the average current draw during normal operation would be around 300 mA, most of which goes to the screen backlight and radios, I guess. If and when your algorithm can save some power, the difference in current would be very small and rapidly changing anyway. To make an exact measurement, you would probably need very good measurement equipment and also you would want a data logger with reasonably fast A/D converter to see and record what really goes on during the execution. -Teemu Many thanks, Claudio ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

I'd investigate this approach, maybe even building a battery emulator - a good quality 3.7 V regulated voltage source, if this is enough to fool the charging circuit. Following on from this, the best way to measure these currents and their change would be to put a precision(1% tolerance or better) 1ohm resistor in series with the supply and measure the volts across the resistor. This is typically more accurate than using the current scale on a dvm and as noted below is a better way if you are going to use a scope or a2d to monitor the current. The volt drop across the resistor would be V=I*R, so in the case of 300mA would be 300mV and therefore you might want to increase the supply voltage to take account of this. The power used in the resistor would be I^2*R which in this case would be 0.09 watts so a 1/4 (0.25)watt resistor should be fine. Caution: it was a long time ago:( that I leaned Ohm's Law and its derivatives, so caveat emptor The voltage and the current provided by the battery is much different from the values provided by an electric cable connected to a socket (220V and 50Hz here in Italy).

Yes, this must be the least problematic way. and no, i won't go any further, but anyway faking a battery is not the scope of this study, according to my understanding, so using a real one will be just ok. You just need to measure and record the cell voltage too to get the actual power consumption. Anyway, IMHO, any power saving study should be done only after gathering info on the processor itself and the power management software actually in use. Definitely, unless they want to exercise with measurement technology... -Teemu ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: [maemo-developers] untranslated strings in ossoemail
On 3/15/06, Alexandre Muniz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've downloaded and compiled the ossoemail source, but when I try to run it, it shows untranslated strings everywhere. The desktop itself shows properly translated strings. export | grep 'LC\|LANG' in scratchbox gives the following: declare -x LANG=en_US declare -x LC_MESSAGES=en_US which is the same thing that it gives on an actual Nokia 770 device. (I've tried numerous variations using LANGUAGE and LC_*, and en_GB instead of en_US, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.) In SDK, only en_GB translations are distributed so en_US won't work in any case. Does anyone have an idea about what I might be missing? I have an osso-email-l10n-4.0-engb package installed in my SDK (though not the program itself), but that might be out of sync and still leave messages untranslated. Did you build it as a .deb or just make install it? Maybe it doesn't include any translations in the deb (since they are distributed separately anyway)... -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
