Re: N800 gpsbabel supporting the WBT-201
Brad, Am Sonntag, 6. Mai 2007 09:44 schrieb Brad Midgley: bluetooth. All the lights go out on the gps when it's busy but that seems to be normal. The WBT-100 is completely different protocol (although similar name), I am not aware of a problem there. It shouldn't be too tough to put hooks into maemo mapper to give it a menu option to suspend the bt gps connection, execute gpsbabel, and load those tracks into the map. That would be really slick. ...or a from device option in the load gpx file dialog.

Re: Nokia N800 or N770 and very bad eyesight.
This thread just made me realize, the N800/770 could be ideal devices for stereoscopic viewing. The high resolution and wide aspect ratio let you fit a lot of pixels on either side. Google for 'stereoscopic' and you can find 3-D photos. Visit them in full-screen mode (turn off the toolbar), take something like an index card and stand it up on the screen, bring your nose down to the card and you can see pretty decent depth. Here's an image: http://rozzo.tripod.com/images/3d-la-sciara-filicudi.jpg I suspect someone with more time on their hands could build a holder and maybe some lenses to do it properly...

Accuracy of the power meter?
I've been noticing that I don't get anywhere near the promised 10 days idle battery life on my N800. With bluetooth and the wireless turned off (offline mode), and with the display off and keys/touchscreen locked, I'm getting at best 8-10 hours of idle time before the battery is completely drained. I have two theories why at this point. The first is that the battery has gone south, even though it I've only had the N800 for about a month or os. The second is that I'm running off a 2gig flash card as my root filesystem instead of the internal flash, per the instructions given in the Maemo wiki. That's a distinct possibility, although I don't see how the flash card could be pulling so much current when the system is an idle state. Has anyone seen anything like this or any thoughts about why I might be seeing this? Thanks, - Ted ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

If you don't get a more helpful response, I would run with a stock fs and no applications installed for a day (no fun, but an important troubleshooting step if you're not sure where the problem lies). If you still have low standby life in offline/screenlocked mode then you definitely have hardware issues. If not, then you can start introducing variables in a controlled way until you pin down the rogue config/app that's killing your battery life. Please report back so others can learn as well.

How to change the built-in IM client behavior?
Hi list, I have been wondering if there is any easy way to change some of the behaviors in the N800 built-in IM client. For example, I would like to have the IM window popping up instead of the icon flashing in the left panel. I would really appreciate any pointers. Thank you.

One possibility is if you use RD mode or some other [non-default] options changed with flasher application. In this case power management would not be able to deliver the promised time. -- Misha signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Yes, apparently it's somehow problematic to convey the difference between idle and almost idle. To give a rough idea, the power used by the device while being running can be _at_least_ 10 times higher, with peaks in the order of a couple of hundred times. So it's very hard if possible at all to define what is your expected runtime apart from few selected use cases that are using for marketing the device and that we refer to when measuring the power performance. Of course our use-cases are tailored to cover most of the common uses, but it's easy for a power user to come up with some combinatioin of software/use that doesn't allow for proper power saving. I have two theories why at this point. The first is that the battery has gone south, even though it I've only had the N800 for about a month or os. I have seen it happening somehow only to 3 years old batteries from the early 770 era. But that's only my personal experience. The second is that I'm running off a 2gig flash card as my root filesystem instead of the internal flash, per the instructions given in the Maemo wiki. I don't do this. If you don't get a more helpful response, I would run with a stock fs and no applications installed for a day (no fun, but an important troubleshooting step if you're not sure where the problem lies). MMC / SD shouldn't be an issue. Actually the throughput could/should be higher because jffs2 does dynamic compression/decompression while the SD doesn't. Of course there could be a bug in the driver, but history has usually shown that it's some application/service/daemon that is run too often or that does busy loop or similar nasty things. If you still have low standby life in offline/screenlocked mode then you definitely have hardware issues. If not, then you can start introducing variables in a controlled way until you pin down the rogue config/app that's killing your battery life. Please report back so others can learn as well. Yes, that's the only certain way. My advice is to start removing first those apps that are likely to introduce periodic activity. -- Cheers, Igor Igor Stoppa [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Nokia Multimedia - CP - OSSO / Helsinki, Finland) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
