00:52.09CoolManyo all
00:52.26CoolMani just replaced the battery on my iPAQ 3600 running familiar and opie
00:52.35*** join/#opie jg (~jg@h005018015b26.ne.client2.attbi.com)
00:52.48ljpinteresting
00:52.48CoolManand the battery applet is very, very confused about how much capacity the battery has
00:53.18CoolManany tips on recalibrating the software with regards to battery life?
00:55.55CoolMansome secret combination of discharging, charging, and cursing at the foul thing?
00:56.10CoolMana secret button on the inside that i have to disasseble the thing to press?
00:56.20CoolMana magical incantation, perhaps?
00:59.21CoolManok, what about this question - how do i upgrade opie 1.0.0 to opie 1.0.2 ?
00:59.40ljpfeed maybe
00:59.57ljpdont be in opie though when you do it
01:00.20CoolManoh?
01:00.42CoolMani'm not actually sure what to do with a "feed"
01:00.49CoolMani'm still kinda new at this
01:10.21ljpmightflash flasha new image
01:20.01CoolManokay, i've figured out how to insert the correct feed into ipkg
01:20.10CoolManthen i terminated opit
01:20.19CoolMan*opie
01:20.32CoolMannow i've done an ipkg update && ipkg upgrade
01:21.36CoolMancrapcrapcrapcrap
01:21.45CoolMani've run out of space and now it's crapping out on me

01:45.45CoolManand now opie won't start
01:45.51CoolManarrrgh
01:50.42CoolManokay, that was extremely stressful
01:50.51CoolMani did an ipkg upgrade
01:51.06CoolManand it filed to upgrade something important (apparently)
01:51.17CoolManDownloading http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/ipaq/unstable/libqpe1_1.0.2_arm.ipk
01:51.17CoolManOnly have 1420 available blocks on filesystem /, pkg libqte2 needs 1614
01:51.30CoolManbut then installed a bunch of other crap that depends on it
01:51.39CoolManso opie wouldn't start
01:51.47CoolManso i had to ssh in manually and fix it
01:52.00CoolMan(basically guessing what the dependancies were)
01:52.12CoolManof course, i guess that's what i get for migrating to an unstable feed

04:22.16CoolManibot: what?! how DARE you speak to me like that!
04:22.19i don't know, CoolMan
04:23.10CoolManibot: of course you don't; you're a measly program! a speck of code in a whirlwhind of insignificance!
04:23.15CoolMan: You are moron #5
04:23.26joshua_hahahahha
04:23.28CoolManlol
04:23.30joshua_ahahahahhahaahahahahaha
04:24.24CoolManhey, does anybody know exactly how to get the software/hardware to re-align itself when you install a new battery?
04:25.10CoolManie: have accurate life estimations/charge times ?
04:25.26CoolManthis would be on iPAQ 3600, duh :-P
04:26.25CoolManrunning opie, of course
04:26.39joshua_3600 can't align itself anyway
04:26.51CoolManoh?
04:28.03joshua_oh
04:28.24treke|homeeh
04:28.25CoolManso the hardware has no conception of the battery's capacity ?
04:28.36CoolManhow does it know how long to charge it then?
04:28.53joshua_until the charger signals its done
04:29.03CoolManheat sensing alone? (please God no, don't let them kill my $55 battery so soon)
04:29.21joshua_voltage sensing I think
04:29.32CoolMani know it has a heat senser in it
04:29.34joshua_the charger has its own logic
04:29.48joshua_you just turn on the gpio and it'll tell you whether it's done or not.
04:29.56CoolMangpio?
04:30.10treke|homegeneral purpose input output?
04:30.20joshua_yeah
04:30.23CoolManthe problem is that the internal charger logic is screwed up from remembering the old battery's deadness
04:30.24treke|homelucky guess
04:30.35CoolMani think
04:30.35joshua_no it isn't
04:30.39CoolManno?
04:30.44joshua_what are you going by?
04:30.52CoolManthe opie battery applet
04:31.09joshua_yeah? what about it?
04:31.34treke|homesounds like he is attributing intelligence to it that isnt there :p
04:31.41joshua_heh
04:32.01CoolManit'll say that it's 90% full when the hardware charger stops charging, but then i'll take it off, and it'll suddenly drop to 65%
04:32.24joshua_ah, shit
04:32.27CoolManthe battery isn't lasting as long as it claims that it should
04:32.28joshua_did you remember to install the _new_ battery?
04:32.32treke|homejoshua_: I like what hp did witht he 3800. It was always rather reliable to me
04:32.34CoolManhehe, yes
04:32.40treke|homehaha. I was just about to ask that :p
04:32.44joshua_treke|home: yeah
04:32.47CoolManit is definately the new battery
04:32.49joshua_unfortunately I never had a 3800
04:32.55joshua_CoolMan: prove it
04:32.58CoolManit's behaving much better then the _old_ battery...
04:33.10joshua_heh
04:33.16joshua_I should figure out how to measure battery on h1910
04:33.17treke|homejoshua_: four freaking hardcoded values come out of the kernel
04:33.18CoolManthe old one would finish charging after about 30 seconds...
04:33.26*** join/#opie brownjava (~jeremy@pcp03847920pcs.westk01.tn.comcast.net)
04:33.40joshua_CoolMan: like, orange light would turn solid after 30 seconds?
04:33.57CoolMan30 sec is an exageration, but yeah
04:34.05CoolManprolly after 5 minutes
04:34.09CoolManrealistically
04:34.25joshua_shiat, that's bad :)
04:34.37CoolManmy dad suggested letting it run all the way down with all of the software running and aware of it, and charging again under the same circumstances
04:34.38treke|homecould be that the battery was fine
04:34.53joshua_I wonder if your charge logic went bad
04:35.01joshua_try a deep cycle on the old battery
04:35.02CoolManthe idea is that it'll "realign" its expectations
04:35.15CoolMani'm deep cycling the new one right now
04:35.33joshua_ok
04:35.33CoolManit actually seems to be doing okay, i think
04:35.40CoolManhehe, of course...
04:35.46joshua_yeah, the battery monitor is not particularly bright.
04:35.48CoolMani may have had unrealistic expectations...
04:35.50joshua_it just goes off voltage.
04:36.02CoolMansee, it claimed that i had 300 minutes left
04:36.16joshua_if the battery is a slightly different chemistry than it expects, it'll give different results
04:36.22CoolManbut i wanted to deep cycle it, so i turned the backlight all the way up
04:36.33joshua_right, 300 minutes left is a guess
04:36.55CoolManand then i ran this command "cat /dev/urandom | gzip > /dev/null"
04:37.02CoolManso the CPU was loaded :)
04:37.05joshua_hehe
04:37.18CoolManand it died within about 3 hours
04:37.30joshua_3 hours is pretty good
04:37.34CoolManbut the battery monitor was completely non-linear
04:38.07treke|homeisnt 300 minutes hard coded?
04:38.22CoolMani wouldn't know
04:38.26joshua_yeah
04:38.45treke|homeI think on the 3700 and older, it's hardcoded to think 100% charge is 300 minutes
04:38.57CoolMani think the opie battery monitor should be written to log all cycle times and things to make accurate predictions
04:39.06joshua_it's not opie's fault
04:39.24CoolMani'm not referring to the hardware charge time or anything
04:39.37joshua_maybe the kernel should be written like that .. but not opie
04:39.41treke|homeopie is best just listening to what linux tells it
04:39.47CoolManoh?
04:39.59CoolMani don't know much about the software layer on here
04:40.20treke|homeopie just listens to what linux says.
04:40.27treke|homeOn the 3800 it happens to get really good info
04:40.42treke|homeon the 3600 it gets fairly poor info. On the zaurus it gets more ore less useless info
04:40.48CoolMani assume that the kernel provides an input interface regarding the battery voltage, charge state, external power state, etc.
04:40.59CoolMancorrect?
04:41.08treke|homeI'm assumign the newer ipaqs are more like the 3800
04:41.48joshua_1910 is pretty useless I think
04:42.11CoolMani guess i really did get some pretty amazing life out of this battery
04:42.29CoolMani don't really _need_ the monitor to be linear
04:42.39joshua_CoolMan: it lived a nice long life.
04:43.01CoolManit would be nice to get an accurate minutes indication, but i can live without it (as if i have a choice)
04:43.32CoolManoh, are either of you guys developers/affiliated with the development cycle of opie in any way?
04:43.40joshua_treke is
04:43.50CoolMani "upgraded" to opie 1.0.2 this evening
04:45.09CoolManand i don't know where this problem lies, but ipkg failed to install some core system library because i was out of space, but instead of aborting or something, it continued installing a bunch of packages that (i assume) depended on it
04:45.21CoolManafter this "upgrade" process, opie would no longer start
04:45.39*** join/#opie Luke-Jr (~luke-jr@ip68-9-81-231.ri.ri.cox.net)
04:45.41CoolManso i had to ssh in and manually install the missing package
04:46.38CoolManand, umm, one odd problem with this version is that opie sound effects (key click, screen tap) do not go well with opie-mediaplayer2 at all
04:47.26CoolManin 1.0.0, media player was taking over the sound channel, and the screen taps wouldn't happen
04:48.07CoolManbut now, if i try a screen tap, the whole GUI hangs for minutes at a time, and media player crashes
04:48.29CoolMansometimes i have to reboot the system because the GUI loses its mind completely
