The reviewer stated that his device lasts 3 days on battery when only sometimes calling or writing SMS. This is what I hardly can believe because my N900 lasts only 3, max. 6 hours on battery and then the battery gets discharged. Was the reviewer kidding or is something wrong with my mobile computer? I have recently bought a new battery and the effect is minimal. My device was in repair service already and they changed the motherboard. It helped a bit but I never made it to that 3 days on battery. Any ideas? :-) Using Scud battery + CSSU + kernel-power with smartreflex enabled, usually but not always connected to either 3.5G cellular internet or wifi, with email refresh every 15 minutes, no IM or voip accounts, no wifi autoconnect, brightness set to 2nd lowest setting, usually it will last me about a day and a half. If I'm listening to streaming music then battery dies much faster, a time measured in hours not in days. Some installed programs/widgets may be consuming CPU, daemons running in the background. HAM auto-update check can be a killer if you have a lot of repos enabled. If you are familiar with standard linux tools you can look in top and similar and find out what's running. BatteryGraph package is great, it will show when your battery usage is occurring, whether you are connected to gprs or wifi at the time. Maybe you can figure out if battery loss is constant or if there's a particular activity you did that is causing rapid drain. I also find that battery drain is affected by environmental conditions. If the N900 is in my pocket all day, or I'm in a place with poor signal, battery drains faster than if it is sitting on my desk with full bars. N900 in offline mode will last a week, but is not as fun. :) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

If the modules looks okay, then on your N900, if you run this command it'll try flashing the power kernel again: apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher If it fails to boot you can always reflash the stock kernel again to get it back.

Primarily: lack of keyboard, lack of SD card slot, lack of adobe flash, outdated display/CPU/GPU specs compared to other announced top-of-the-line phones. I'm not sure about the UI that I've seen in the online previews but having not used it myself, I can't make an educated evaluation about it. But, on the surface, it looks more smartphone like another iphone/android/symbian kind of device, which does not interest me. I prefer more of a desktop experience like Maemo5 provides. After the leaked photos and video showing silver device with black keyboard, I had hope that we might get an improved N900 kind of form-factor. Unfortunately it seems that device will never be sold. Too bad. It seems N9 is not targeted at niche linux geek audience, but trying to oversimplify for the general user. Maybe that's good strategy for Nokia in this case (only time will tell), but for me, personally, it's a big disappointment because I have no interest in a device like that. I'm a niche linux geek. ;) N9 has 1 GB of RAM, that's the part I'm most jealous of. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

May I ask you what was this simple modification . Even if it ended not
working fully it might
provide clues.
In linux kernel sources drivers/mmc/host/omap_hsmmc.c replace the
set_data_timeout function with this one:
static void set_data_timeout(struct omap_hsmmc_host *host,
unsigned int timeout_ns,
unsigned int timeout_clks)
{
uint32_t reg;
reg = OMAP_HSMMC_READ(host-base, SYSCTL);
reg = ~DTO_MASK;
reg |= DTO DTO_SHIFT;
OMAP_HSMMC_WRITE(host-base, SYSCTL, reg);
}
Basically, it changes it to use the default DTO value of 0xE rather
than trying to calculate dynamic DTO based on the particular SD card
timings and characteristics. I read this advice on the linux-omap
mailing list from someone having the same problem (but with different
hardware).
I don't know if it's a problem in the driver DTO calculation logic, or
bad metadata in the SD cards causing that logic to be flawed. The same
workaround is done in other drivers for standard SD cards, too. Some
question why bother to change the DTO at all, if 0xE works with all of
them.
After a month using it like this, I have no problems. My SD card works
fine, no corruption.

The best stuff costs money or is probably illegal (games played in emulators). Ovi Store has several commercial games, some are free, some costs money. Many have a lite version to trial. For free games from extras, I like WarMUX, it is an open-source clone of the famous game Worms. You can play online against other people, and it has fun sound graphics and performance is wonderful on N900. Using the keyboard you can switch weapons easily, it's really very playable. Frozen Bubble is also simple and fun, a clone of Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble. OpenArena is like Quake 3 Arena.

Does it afterwards show as corrupted on the PC too? Yes. You aren't by any chance changing the cards by taking the back cover out without powering off your device first? Definitely not that, the only time I ever remove my cover is to change the card when I buy a new one, and I fully shutdown the phone first before doing so. My USB port still works, so I don't need to remove the battery on a regular basis. Opening the back cover does an emergency shutdown on disks in case user rips battery out next (that's apparently a common way to get phone not reachable message back to your boss/wife/dog when they call you, at least in some parts of the world). I would never do that. I rarely make or receive phone calls. I just checked call logs on my N900 and I have 6 calls since 1st of January. Those pull the battery people should learn about offline mode, hey. :) Also, the back cover has a magnetic latch that's used for detecting when it's opened. If you have something magnetic next to your phone, it may cause phone to think that back cover is being opened. See: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8235#c15 I'm aware of the magnetic switch, I don't think it's that. I keep my N900 on my desk and in my pocket, I don't wear magnets or use cases for my N900. The magnets on back cover appear to be in place. I don't have any of the dmesg lines about cover opened/closed. But I have some new information! I've experimented more with the Adata card, and now I notice that the errors are 100% reproducable. If I mkfs it results in the same exact errors in dmesg (same blocks) every single time! So this makes me really think it's a problem with the kernel drivers (or maybe the SD controller itself) on the N900. I think if the card truly had bad-blocks, the wear leveling would cause the errors not to be the same every time, and I'd see them also on my PC. I formatted the cards using the SD Association's official formatting tool on a MS Windows box, with full write erase over the whole device. No errors and all went normally. Testing on my PC with 2 different microSDHC card-readers I was not able to reproduce any corruption after filling up the card, unmounting removing, reinserting and reading md5sum of the contents.

Transcend 8GB class 6 - bad Adata 16GB class 10 - bad Sandisk 16GB class 2 - good I suspect maybe the N900 isn't providing enough voltage to the SD card and some cards are less tolerant of low-voltage situations than others. Does anyone know if it's possible to tell what voltage it is using or change the voltage of the SD card in N900?

N900 stuck on 5 dots forever
Hi, Yesterday my N900 froze when I tried to click an icon on the menu. That happens regularly (maybe once a month) for whatever reason. Maybe catorise does something weird. I was not at home so no access to SSH into the phone, so I waited a few minutes and finally held the power key to shutdown. Upon restart, it got to the animated 5 dots and kept on there for hours. Phone still takes a charge during this time (I can get back to green LED in this state). I had multiboot installed with stock kernel/power kernel/nitdroid. Stock and power kernel both get stuck in bootup. Nitdroid still works normally and can get on T-Mobile network, access SD card etc. I tried the blind magic fixes suggested in forums, namely boot without SIM, without SD, enable RD mode, etc. But all of those result in the same 5 dots animated forever. Of course I didn't expect any of them to make a difference in this case. I know reflash of FIASCO image can most likely fix it by starting over, but I'm curious if there is anyway to find out why it's not progressing beyond the 5 dots. Is there a magic key to disable the 5 dots or some way to see what's going on during the boot process? Like in a typical linux console during bootup.

Configuring it with the proper settings for your mobile provider can be tricky, most of the big ones are in the Wiki pages, but specific settings might different based on your mobile plan. If you have access to another phone which has working MMS, put your SIM in it and then find the settings that it uses, that might be the easiest way to go.

If so, then you only need to make sure that you always have a working /bin/diff. Thus, if after removing diffmo you end up without /bin/diff, repair that immediately, maybe by symlinking it to busybox, or by installing diffutils-gnu. Default Busybox isn't built with diff utility (diff version in Fremantle Busybox is too incompatible with real diff), so symlink to that would be wrong. If no package is depending on diffmo, I think it's safe just to remove it. Thanks Marius and Eero for your quick replies and good information. In fact, like Eero says, I did not have diff at all, symlink or otherwise.

I'm not a Debian guy and am not entirely familiar with how the apt-stuff works and why this package is essential.

Open your camera lens, close the camera app if it auto-starts, then run mbarcode. Aim it at a barcode. The application has a lighter-colored window in the middle of the screen with a red line in it. Be sure your barcode fits entirely in the light area. If it is a one-dimensional barcode, align it so that the red line goes all the way through the whole barcode. It should automatically detect and decode the barcode at that point, taking you to a new screen where it shows the content of the barcode, link to google it, etc. Depending on lighting/color of barcode/angle of camera etc. it can sometimes take a while to read it, or not work at all, but in the vast majority of times I've tried it will read the barcode withinin two or three seconds. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Nokia Maps: Since the possibility of using it offline it is good as a mapping instrument. Navigation is still absent although it can do route-planning. 2. Navit: works as navigation software but the interface is difficult to understand and simple functions as searching for an address is not obvious. I fail to understand the menu structure properly. This is a common problem to many of the programs I have tried. For voice-enabled navigation Navit is the best of the bunch. 2. Mappero: It took my quite a while to figure out how to use it, but I have some success now. Still primitive. The possibility of recording my own voice instructions is there but I did not take time to do it. 3. Cloudgps: apart from the few keyboard shortcuts I am unable to find a way to use it for something useful. I see no menu for searching, routing or navigation. Nice maps. 4. Modrana looked promising but I fail to understand some of the menus e.g. the Download-menu's. I don't know what the different options mean like '5up' or '8down' . After guessing thte options I started a download process for more than 24000 tiles to carry on overnight. The next morning my N900 was unresponsive and I needed to switch it off. After a restart Modrana would not show any map. A remark about all the products except maybe Nokia's Maps: I could not find proper documentation and it is difficult to understand the logic of the menus without the documentation. Summary: Navigation software on the N900 still has a long way to go. If I want to search for an address: Nokia Maps is the easiest and then next one is Mappero. Nice report, I have not yet tried Navit. modRana seems like it is powerful but I have barely touched it so far. I think the + x Down and + x Up has to do with zoom level that it downloads up or down relative to current settings. But I could be wrong about it. It is not navigation, but you can use Google Latitude Updater to view and search google maps in your position and to get directions (textual) You can also try Libellule which uses Qype and Yahoo Local to search nearby locations based on your current position. I saw Sygic Mobile Maps in a friend's N900, it was definitely the most professional of the list, and of course it costs money. I don't think it is as good as other software available on other platforms but for N900 it's the best you can get. As far as search/POI, others like modRana might be better since they can query Google etc. while Sygic is just using their own database which can be limited and outdated at times. When I rode with him it seemed to lag behind pretty badly at certain points (it would tell us to turn after we already passed the street, things like that), and it does not speak street names, so if you're in an urban area turn right in 200 meters could be any of several streets. Because of that you have to read the N900 screen as you drive, which is dangerous, and also uses battery faster since you need to keep the backlight on. Personally, for navigation I use a Garmin Nuvi that I keep in my car... works great and won't kill my N900's battery, and it tells me the street name so I don't have to watch it the whole time, just listen. :) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Of course, if you find the package and want to install it using the application manager for that then it probably would have been just as easy to search in application manager in the first place. :) I believe application manager only looks at packages with user classification while apt-get will give you access to everything, which can give you more power (installing things which are not listed in app manager or upgrading installed libraries, for example) but with great power comes great responsibility. :) You can also remove important things that way and generally break things... ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Specifically, if you run modprobe bq27x00_battery it will give you access to data about the battery, including capacity, voltage_now, current_now and temp It seems like this might be useful in understanding what is going on with the battery, if it has been damaged, etc. For example, right now, my battery is reporting: POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=3979 POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=789 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=83 POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP=25 Yesterday, when I had drained it, the POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP climbed to 40. I'm curious about what other people are seeing for these numbers, as well as what the acceptable ranges should be. Anyone else running Kernel_Power and care to report on the status of their batteries? # cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/capacity 92 # cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/voltage_now 4026 # cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/current_now 50 # cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp 32 While charging via USB and watching video with headphones my battery temp goes up to 44 according to /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0/temp ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
