N900 charging through dumb USB charger
Hi, I have a small gadget where you put 4 AA batteries and it outputs power over USB. When plugging this into the N900 with the provided CA-101 cable the N900 doesn't start to charge. As a workaround I used a USB to round nokia plug + the round nokia to micro USB adapter provided with the N900 and it worked: the N900 started to charging. The same thing happen when replacing my small gadget with a power plug to USB charger. Is there an USB to micro USB cable or adapter that would allow the N900 to use dumb USB power sources?

Reboot loop on N810
Hi, My N810 after updating three applications failed (no blue pill, no rd mode) entered a reboot loop, the boot progress bar goes up to 90% then the screen goes black then boot again, in loop until I remove the battery. Any way to get out of this loop by pressing magic keys? I don't have the usb cable handy for reflash.

disk space running short on /
Hi, I'm running short of space on / (10 MB free) on my diablo N810 so I have to uninstall some apps to be able to install new apps (which otherwise fail leaving the system in an unknown state, not good).

Best internet download speed through bluetooth phone?
Hi, When connected to the internet through a bluetooth phone I can't seen to find someone reporting more than 20-25 kbyte/second even with 3G or 3.5G phones + unlimited data plans in France at least. With my Nokia 6086 which is EDGE only I get 20-25 kbyte/second spikes and overall average of 10-15 kbyte/second which is as expected. I'm evaluating wether or not to buy a 3.5G phone like the Nokia E51. If you're in France or Europe you can test download speed in a X Terminal as follows: wget http://test1.guerby.org/test -O /dev/null Hit C-c after a few minutes once you've got an idea of download speed (test file is 10 Mbyte of compressed data). If not in Europe replace the URL with one of any compressed file URL near you. I'm interested in data plan/phone combo that get good download speed in France. Thanks!

Is there some secret gconf setting to bring old stylus optimized menu layout with small items back? AFAIK no. The good side is that you can use it with thumb. This was posible in OS2007 too, thumb hit popped up large menu, stylus hit smaller menu which was consistent with behaviour or virtual keyboard. Looks like small menu just silently went away. I will miss that. AFAIK it was not possible to make thumb detection reliable enough. The detection was based on pressure information, but strong press with stylus gives as much pressure as light press with thumb (=larger area) and the touchscreen sensitivity might differ a bit between devices, different parts of the screen and that changes over time too. I don't use OS2008, but I know I'll miss the stylus-sized menus. About the menus I really don't think you'll miss the stylus. With the control panel / panel customization / organise you can put 5x6 or 6x6 applications in the menu all accessible in three thumb presses requiring zero finger agility, with everything seen on the screen, and with 6 applications accessible in two thumb presses since the first menu my selection is automatically opened. For more you just have to thumb press the big scroll buttons a few times. This is for me a really great usability improvement: I hope more parts of OS2008 will be moved to the same concept (follow the PDF reader example :) and that third party software will adopt it too. I trained myself not to get the stylus out like I was used to do and after two days I'm just able to use everything (but Sketch :) without stylus. If automatic detection isn't reliable enough, then I really think there should be an option somewhere to set choose either one or the other. It's all about giving the user the choice. As I said the workaround is just pressing the Home button to get the virtual thumb keyboard, it's not that bad if thumb detection in thin text entries cannot be fixed.

OS2008 on N800: probable bugs
After a bit more testing I found out: - when selecting a wifi connection the list refreshes and moves all the time: in a street in Paris with about 50 signals it's nearly impossible to select something down the list, refresh sends cursor back to beginning of list every second or so (Searching never goes away). - I'm not able to activate the virtual finger keyboard using my finger: internet search, web browser, application manager (forms), xterm input areas when thumb pressed seem to always show the virtual stylet keyboard. Only notes seems to detect properly a finger touch within its (larger) input area and opens the finger keyboard. - I've had three times after selecting lock touch screen in keys where after pressing power and seeing now press HOME the HOME button was inactive and I had to remove the battery or shutdown through remote ssh. This is with unmodified systemui.xml. I'll open bugzilla if I'm not alone in seeing this.

Re: OS2008 on N800: probable bugs
Thanks to all who answered in public or privately. For connection selection in crowded wifi, it's the scrollbar that's unusable, using up and down pad is kinda okay. Situation is not that great but it might now warrant a bugzilla. Same thing for virtual finger, Home button is a good workaround at least on N800. For the third problem even if there's a workaround that worked at least once (wait until screen is off) I got into a situation where I was unlocked but all the physical buttons (pad, home, the three buttons, +/-/full size) where not doing anything whereas power and stylus+thumb where still working perfectly.

Experience with N800 portable autonomous battery charger
I've been wondering for a while how to extend the (already quite correct :) battery life on the N800 for long trips without power plug access and planned continuous use. One obvious solution is to buy another BP-5L battery for 40-50 euros (*), but changing the battery means rebooting the N800 and recharging the second battery in parallel means another charger (if the model exists). So I went another route and bought: - 4x AA NIMH batteries with charger (1), - a USB battery extender with room for 4xAA (2) - a USB to N800 power plug adapter, part of a quite complete charger and adapter pack (3) For a grand total of about 50-60 euros. 4xAA batteries output 4*1.2V = 4.8V, not far but below the USB standard 5V so likely to be safe. The mayamax USB adapter says input 5V - output 5.6V 500mA and is a bit bulky so it's not just a cable and probably has some voltage and power control function. I discharged my N800 up to the alert noise (no bar left), then plugged the battery extender plus adapter to the N800 and the N800 started charging right away. In about 4 hours it went back to 4 bars (indication: 4 hours - 6 days with minimum screen brightness so not completely 100% charged since it's 8 hours - 10 days IIRC) then I needed to use the N800 so I removed it from the mobile charger. In theory (see computation below), the 4x AA batteries should be able to charge nearly two times the N800 BP-5L battery, but I've not tested yet this hypothesis. Another thing I'll test is having the N800 at 1 or 2 bars and then pluging the extender and continuing to use the N800 to see if while using+charging the N800 power level goes up, stay the same or go down (say while playing video and testing with different screen brightness levels). If it goes down it means that at some point I'll need to stop using the N800 to get extended battery life. If it stays or goes up it means that you can get all the continuous battery life you want just by carrying the appropriate number of sets of 4x AA batteries (these are quite inexpensive). Exactly what I was looking for :). Did someone else tried something along these lines? Laurent http://guerby.org/blog/ (*) All prices with 19.6% VAT included. (1) 4x 2500 mAh class AA NIMH ~ 10-20 euros often with charger According to tests, this class of AA battery holds around 2.5 Wh, for reference BP-5L is 3.7V * 1500mAh = 5.5 Wh (probably a bit less) http://www.batteryreview.co.uk/battery_reviews/gp_2500_aa.htm (2) ReVolt USB Battery Extender (4x AA) ~ 5 euros http://www.pearl.fr/article-PE4477.html (3) Mayamax USB charger pack ~ 27 euros http://www4.fnac.com/Shelf/Article.aspx?PRID=1917203 Very nice set: USB Car charger + USB Charger (very small) + USB A male with zip cable + 7 different plugs adapters. I tested N770/N800 plug, Sony-Ericsson K300i plug, mini USB plug for charging bluetooth GPS globalsat BT-359. Note: I could not find a brick and mortar store selling the Nokia CA-100 USB to N800 plug adapter - I tried 5 stores in Paris (and it seems more expensive than the Mayama pack anyway...). ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

When running as AP battery would run out _very_ quicky since AP mode cannot use WLAN power saving and need to communicate a lot. Also the speed of WLAN in N800 isn't exactly great. So basically you would get expensive and slow access point with touscreen and high resolution display.

Yes but if you plan to keep it on charger, you can do same thing with cheap AP at 1/10 of N800's price and use N800 freely. The N800 attractiveness stems from its ability to replace many devices :).

Re: Wifi vrs Bluetooth power = maemo mapper experience
FWIW, my globalsat BT-359 GPS linked via bluetooth to my N800 running maemo mapper on during a whole Paris-Toulouse-Castres TGV (high speed train) trip ran on one charge taking 19910 data points from 2007-04-06T08:25:02+02:00 to 2007-04-06T15:11:46+02:00 so a bit less than 7 hours, resulting .gpx file is 2.6MB for about one data point per second. I turned the N800 off with one bar left when I reached the end of my trip. I turned on the screen from time to time to see the speed of the train so this is not a bluetooth only check, and maemo mapper was running of course. The only thing is that I had to switch sound off because top speed warning in maemo mapper is limited to 300 km/hour and the TGV is sometimes above it during the trip :). All in all I assume bluetooth doesn't consume that much. Let us know your experience.

Yes, it reads RS-MMC with the adapter that comes in the Nokia 770 sales box. (I just tested the Nokia 64MB RS-MMC that also comes in the sales box.)

Re: [maemo-users] Linksys WRTG54GL + Nokia 770 connection lost
Did you set in Control Panel / Connectivity / Idle times (second tab) / Packet data and WLAN Idle time to Unlimited? I have an ASUS WL500GX (Linux inside too) and have no trouble maintaining browsing for tens of minutes. After a while (about one hour UI idle) it drops the connection though, even if I ssh to it every minute from a desktop machine, this is an issue but it looks different from yours.

Yes, this is a Linux based router. For the last 10 days I am trying to establish reliable wireless connection between the tablet and the router to no avail. The tablet looses the connection with the router every few minutes (or even less). So, browsing the net is not very pleasant experience. Or is such a behavior a 'feature' (aka saving power for the TX/RX subsystem after minute of no activity) If it IS the feature, then I would like to know how to disable it. I am willing to sacrifice battery life for smoother web browsing. It does not matter if I am very close to the AP or far away from it. I've found two workarounds for my problem: A) workaround ONE == By selecting automatic connection the problem goes partially away Control Panel == Connectivity == Connections == check 'Use without asking' Result is somehow acceptable. Every few minutes I have to wait a little bit longer to get the web page I clicked on. 770 is reconnecting in the background. B) workaround TWO === Starting Internet Radio (AccuRadio HitKast) Having Internet radio up and running all the time, WEB browsing is a PLEASANT experience. NO more 'Connection lost' messages Is there a better way to solve this problem ? Any hint/trick/advice/solution is more than welcome. 770's firmware version 2.2005.45-7 TIA Igor P.S.: When I connect the tablet to my NOT LOCKED neighbourhood AP, the 770 works a lot better. It gets disconnected only when the signal is very weak. I do not know which router model my neighbours have. -- I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
