*** JesusFreak316 has quit IRC00:12
arrrghhhF22, how goes it sir00:17
F22working on the uk keymap/layout :P00:18
F22there are so freaking many of these things...00:18
F22not sure what i'm going to do about the italian and french ones, don't have pics of them.00:18
arrrghhhhahaha00:19
F22i'll probably put out a call for french and italian volunteers to snap me a pic.00:19
arrrghhhyea there's a boatload of rhod100's00:19
F22otherwise they can keep the keymap they currently have. :P00:19
F22the us keymaps are all done, at least for rhod.00:20
F22i've done the fuze too.00:20
F22still need to do the other raphs.00:20
arrrghhhthat's awesome00:20
arrrghhhman i still need to go raking thru the bugtracker00:20
arrrghhhso there's been a lot of hit-or-miss reports on frx0300:20
arrrghhhi have noticed sometimes that system_server process just absolutely pegs the processor, and everything on the phone becomes basically impossible.00:21
F22i thought that was only in the first 10 minutes?00:21
F22after the transition.00:21
arrrghhheh i get it at random00:21
arrrghhhsome boots are so fast00:22
arrrghhhothers drag00:22
F22odd, mine has been solid since i switched. although i have only booted once since. the thing stays up forever. :D00:22
arrrghhhusually the data.img creation boot is slow, but i've had other random times where it boots and it'll just dog.00:22
arrrghhhi keep rebooting to winmo00:22
arrrghhh2 nights in a row i left it on android, because it was so solid.  but 2 nights i wake up and it's in winmo...00:22
F22after i manually turned off jit on mine and killed zygote, my phone stayed up two days.00:23
arrrghhhdamn00:23
arrrghhhthrow it on the charger when you go to sleep?00:23
arrrghhhi was impatient.00:23
F22when it came back up i still hadn't installed the FRX03. It crashed twice in 4 hours.00:23
arrrghhhi built my own image immediately lol00:23
F22So then I switched to FRX03, but my own personally compiled version of it.00:23
arrrghhhyea00:24
F22booted it up, took a bit, but came up clean. didn't even need to zap data.img.00:24
F22it's been up ever since.00:24
arrrghhhyea, i'm not sure why i'm getting resets to winmo00:24
arrrghhhall it does is recieve email at night00:24
arrrghhhi don't think i got any text messages or calls overnight.  lol who knows if i missed any.00:25
F22it took so long in the boot ani that i was starting to get worried...but it eventually came out of it.00:25
arrrghhhhaha00:25
F22so i can't say i have a great deal of experience with how it reacts after boots. but so far, all is well. it's not like the first time with a new system.ext2 comes up fast anyway.00:26
arrrghhhman i miss wistilt.  been almost a week since he's been online...00:26
F22me too :(00:26
F22yes, i throw it in the charger over night. :D00:28
F22and much of the day too...00:28
F22the wake up to winmo thing, i had that on quite a few occasions before FRX03.00:29
arrrghhhdamnit.00:30
arrrghhhi've had that on a regular basis now lol00:30
arrrghhhi never ran android overnight really00:30
arrrghhhuntil frx03, the damned thing just ran so well00:30
arrrghhhhrm00:30
arrrghhhmaybe i should get a signed image...00:30
F22mine most certainly isn't signed.00:31
arrrghhhi just booted and it seems unhappy lol00:31
arrrghhhi dunno00:31
arrrghhhjust had a system process error and now the backlight is on but screen is blank... and unresponsive.  i hit wait hrm.00:31
F22when i finally rebooted my phone the first time after manually turning off jit, it had managed to get into a weird state. it was asleep and i couldn't seem to wake it up.00:32
F22should've tried to adb into it...00:32
F22instead i got impatient and immediately rebooted.00:33
arrrghhhhaha00:33
F22well not quite immediately, i pressed the power button several times to try to wake it, but when that didn't work, i rebooted.00:34
F22:P00:34
arrrghhhyea.  been there ;)00:34
F22pulled out the handy dandy stylus and did a soft reset.00:34
arrrghhhgotta love that00:35
arrrghhhdo the capacitve screen phones even have reset pins?00:35
F22interesting question. no idea.00:36
F22have you tried a new data.img?00:38
F22might as well try that before you go with a new system.ext2. less work.00:39
arrrghhhhaha00:39
arrrghhhyea00:39
arrrghhhdo you oc?00:43
F22not at the moment, no.00:43
arrrghhhi should probably turn that crap off.00:43
F22i figured i needed to establish baseline stability first.00:43
arrrghhhyea00:43
arrrghhhlol00:44
arrrghhhi flip back and forth, definitely more stable at stock speed.00:44
arrrghhhless random moments of the phone crapping itself too.00:44
F22chips tend to degrade faster when they're pushed hard.00:44
F22on a phone, the normal lifetime of the chip isn't really an issue, nobody is going to use their handset for 10 years, unless they're insane.00:45
F22but if you really, really ride that soc hard...you can severely decrease its life to the point where it could die on you while you're still under contract.00:46
F22the question is where the happy middle ground is.00:46
F22we all know that there's quite a bit of headroom in these chips because they tend to get underclocked so the battery will last longer.00:47
arrrghhhscrew it00:47
arrrghhhgets me new phones for free00:47
arrrghhh:P00:47
F22lol00:47
arrrghhhi pay $7 a month for tep, i deserve it hahaha00:47
arrrghhhnew phone every 2 years for free.  that's justified.00:47
F22mine is over a year old and it's not on warranty.00:47
F22i don't want it to die until i'm ready to jump.00:47
arrrghhhhaha00:48
arrrghhhah well00:48
arrrghhhbedtime00:48
arrrghhhcya later dude00:48
F22sleep well00:48
arrrghhhthx00:48
F22btw, i've used my phone more in the past few weeks i've been on android then i did in the entire previous year with win mo.00:50

arrrghhh... ok11:17
ftvm_DIAM100fluid same frx02 on diam10011:19
ftvm_DIAM100except .. starter first11:19
ftvm_DIAM100the sound is always stuterring and the device always no awake ...11:20
*** CazH has joined #xdandroid11:28
arrrghhhthat sound stutter is haunting you isn't it.11:30
ftvm_DIAM100no no !!!    lol11:31
ftvm_DIAM100j'ai d'autres choses qui peuvent me hanter11:32
ftvm_DIAM100sorry11:32
ftvm_DIAM100I have other things that may haunt me11:32
arrrghhhseems to haunt you :P11:33
arrrghhhso every time you kill that [battery] process, stutter is gone?11:33
arrrghhhdo you notice any adverse affects from killing that process?11:33
ftvm_DIAM100yes ... stutter is gone !!!11:34
ftvm_DIAM100yes also ... for your second question ...  lol11:34
ftvm_DIAM100the battery management is interrupted ...   the battery is no charging11:34
arrrghhhhrm.11:35
ftvm_DIAM100same ... adaptator disconnecting !11:35
arrrghhhwell i'm sure we need someone to clean up the battery commits...11:35
* arrrghhh wouldn't be able to do that unfortunately.11:35
arrrghhhi'd just make 'em worse lol.  put us back in the stone age of battery management.11:35
ftvm_DIAM100fun?11:35
arrrghhhfun?11:36
ftvm_DIAM100lol ... it is not me who will!11:37
arrrghhhyou fix it then :P11:37
ftvm_DIAM100Yet it's been a unix but I knew I forgot everything!11:38
arrrghhh...11:38
arrrghhhdo you just throw everything you say at google translate?  lol11:38
ftvm_DIAM100Now I have 41 years but I started to know computer under UNIX11:40
ftvm_DIAM100yes  i use  google translate11:41
arrrghhhah ha11:41
arrrghhhexplains a lot.11:41
arrrghhh;)11:41
ftvm_DIAM100sometimes, not always11:41
arrrghhhwell i don't know enough french from my school days, so it's probably for the better.11:42
arrrghhhit's just google translate always spits out weird sentences... in both directions :P11:43
ftvm_DIAM100it's ok ...   no problem11:43
ftvm_DIAM100yes ... but google translate became clever enough anyway ... I can understand you11:45
arrrghhhhaha11:46
arrrghhhthat's good11:46
arrrghhhsometimes i have trouble understanding you, but most of the time i can make assumptions :P11:46

arrrghhhwell i was finally able to reproduce a bootloop on the rhod13:37
arrrghhhbut i went from my unsigned image to stine's signed one w/o a new data.img.  so i'd chalk that up to user error lol13:38
arrrghhhjust wanted to see if it would work at all haha13:38
F22lol13:38
F22seems you don't always get them if you go from unsigned to unsigned...13:38
arrrghhhyea13:38
arrrghhhthat wouldn't surprise me13:38
arrrghhhor signed to signed13:38
arrrghhhso maybe you don't need to blow away your data.img when you go from image to image.13:39
F22my thoughts were heading in that direction too...13:39
arrrghhhmeh, blowing away data.img will always be troubleshooting step #1 in my book :P13:39
F22lol13:39
arrrghhhi'm real close to paying for TB13:39
arrrghhhi just wonder if the paid-for version will be worth it when i do get a real android device.13:40
arrrghhhi probably won't be blowing stuff up so frequently... in theory...13:40
F22lol13:40
F22when will that be?13:40
arrrghhhdunno13:40
arrrghhhprobably not for a while with the plan i'm on.13:40
arrrghhhplus, nothing really appeals to me right now except maybe the epic... but i saw the screen in the store again on wednesday... a rep actually had it.  he loved the screen, i thought the colors looked like crap hahaha13:41
F22i've got another year on my current contract.  epic is nice, but not nice enough for me to eat a $200 termination fee.13:42
arrrghhhi pulled out my tp2 and he asked what phone it was... then said it wasn't available on sprint... those guys aren't the brightest.13:42
* arrrghhh isn't on a contract :D13:42
arrrghhhbut i also can't get consumer phones as soon as they're released.  c'est la vie.13:42
F22of course i got my tp2 for free too.13:42
arrrghhhhahahaha nice13:42
F22aside from the pesky contract.13:42
arrrghhhhow'd you swing yours?13:42
arrrghhhmine was insurance replacement.13:42
F22wmdeals.com had a special13:42
arrrghhhdamn that's one hell of a special.13:43
arrrghhhsprint used to charge $200 for this phone, on top of the 2-year contract.13:43
F22and it's direct from t-mobile13:43
arrrghhhnice13:43
F22not through some other company13:43
arrrghhhtmo has seemingly gotten better13:43
arrrghhhi used to write them off as a crappy carrier for teenagers lol13:43
arrrghhhi still do, jokingly... but it seems they have stepped their game up.13:44
F22their 3G has improved tremendously over the last year.13:44
arrrghhhyea13:44
*** JesusFreak316 has joined #xdandroid13:44
arrrghhhtheir service used to be so spotty.13:44
arrrghhhthe only reason people went to them is they had new phones, which is why i labeled them as a carrier for teenagers.  don't care about service, just want mah sidekick!  lol13:44
F22t-mo actually has a great customer service department.13:45
F22they did seem to be falling a bit behind on android phones however until the G2/MyTouch 4G.13:46
arrrghhhyea... haven't dealt with consumer side of any carrier for.... almost 10 years now.13:46
arrrghhhsprint was WAY behind it seemed.  then the evo popped up lol13:46
F22I like the G2. The MyTouch 4G looks like a toy to me on the other hand.13:46
arrrghhhin the new phone dept.13:46
arrrghhhtheir service has always been pretty good.13:46
arrrghhhyea13:46
arrrghhhthe whole mytouch line seems to be the sidekick replacement.13:47
arrrghhhfor tweens :P13:47
F22yep, the EVO brought Sprint back into the competition, not only that, it placed Sprint temporarily in the lead.13:47
arrrghhhwell what's funny13:47
arrrghhhis everyone is touting 4g13:47
arrrghhhbut no one really has it except sprint/clearwire...13:47
F22sprint's isn't real 4G either...13:48
arrrghhhtmo's 4g phones technically aren't 4g...13:48
arrrghhhwimax isn't?13:48
F22not the version that sprint is using.13:48
arrrghhhoh.13:48
arrrghhhshow's what i know.  i thought wimax was considered 4g :P13:48
F22it doesn't meat the spec either.13:48
arrrghhhso no carrier is using 4g13:48
arrrghhhawesome lol13:48
F22nope13:48
* arrrghhh needs to read up on the specs again13:48
arrrghhhi did about a year ago13:49
F22and verizon's lte which is going up now isn't real 4G either.13:49
arrrghhhyea13:49
arrrghhhi heard about that13:49
arrrghhhso i looked into the tmo thing13:49
arrrghhhi figured theirs wasn't true 4g either.13:49
arrrghhhjust hsdpa+13:49
arrrghhhhdspa?  i forget lol13:49
F22verizon isn't going hsdpa+.13:49
arrrghhhtmo tho13:49
F22yep13:49
JesusFreak316http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/21/itu-lays-down-law-wimax-2-lte-advanced-are-4g-everyone-else-i/13:50
F22tmo's hsdpa+ is faster than sprint's wimax in a lot of areas however.  so it's all arguable.13:50
arrrghhhscrew the itu13:50
arrrghhhlol13:51
arrrghhhhrm.  i wouldn't know F22.  you wouldn't either, as neither of our phones are capable :P13:51
JesusFreak316My thoughts exactly. LTE is 4g imo.13:51
arrrghhh+113:51
arrrghhhlte is 4g, wimax is 4g.13:51
F22lol13:51
JesusFreak316hdspa+ is 3.5g13:52
arrrghhhlol the comments all start by aruging about pepsi or coke13:52
F22just because neither you nor i have the tech in our phones doesn't mean we can't read the numbers and the reviews.13:53
F22i see no real advantage to sprint's -current- wimax network over tmo's hsdpa+ network.13:54
F22hsdpa+ isn't standing still, regardless of whether you wish to label it 3.5G, 3.75G, 3.9G or 4G.13:55
arrrghhhnone of it is standing still dude :P13:56
*** mes has quit IRC13:57
arrrghhhand we can talk and read about the spec.13:57
arrrghhhi just wanted to avoid the 'my carrier is faster than your carrier' argument when there's so many factors involved.13:57
arrrghhhthat and we don't even have devices that can use the fancy new fastness :P13:57
JesusFreak316Honestly, since I'll be getting a limited data plan I don't care since faster just uses my data up faster, lol.13:57
F22lol, fair enough. i just wanted to point out that hsda+ as currently implemented isn't any slower than wimax as currently implemented.13:58
arrrghhhhahaha13:58
F22lol13:58
arrrghhhoh yea, i'll buy that F22.13:58
F22i think that's the main reason why i'm still with tmo. the relatively cheap unlimited data.14:03
F22verizon's htc merge, possibly droid merge, has me really curious, but their data pricing makes me wince.14:05
arrrghhhlol14:05
arrrghhhyea i have no clue what sprint's data pricing looks like.  i thought it was pretty good tho14:05
arrrghhhtheir 'simply everything' still seems like the best way to go if you want an unlt'd plan14:05
F22sprint and tmo have the best pricing.14:06
F22the death star and the eye of sauron are an entirely different story... :P14:06
arrrghhhlmao14:07
F22that big red eye that verizon paints on all their motorola droids, droid ii's and droid x's reminds me so much of sauron's eye from the lord of the rings....14:10
F22i notice that they didn't do that with htc's droid incredible14:10
F22i'm hoping they've dropped their plan to force bing onto the merge.14:12
F22i'll probably wait until the wxga screens are out before i consider another phone...4.3" wxga...and a cpu that push those pixels effortlessly. :)14:13
F22i'm curious about whether or not this nexus s will be wxga...14:15

JesusFreak316F22, I don't know if it's related but I had my phone die really fast today, like in 2 hours of use. Probably something on my end, but just a heads up.22:58
F22jesusfreak316: your phone's battery seemed to run down particularly fast today? or it crashed?23:05
JesusFreak316Rather fast.23:06
JesusFreak316It's been very stable.23:06
F22i can't think of any changes in that rootfs i gave you which might cause a battery to run out of juice faster.  it just replaced the old keymaps/layouts with new ones. it didn't add or change any functionality on the phone.23:08
JesusFreak316Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like I said, probably my fault. Just wanted to let you know in case others start reporting it.23:09
F22will keep it in mind in case i hear it again. thanks.23:10
