Re: Recording calls

[Hartti Suomela]

I am having problems installing "recaller". App manager says "Application
packages missing: Python-dbus(>=0.83.0-1maemo3)"
I have python installed on the device including that same version of
python-dbus package. To be sure of it, I installed it again from
extras-devel repository.

Is the capitalization the problem here? Has someone successfully installed
the app?

Peter,

The GPE apps for Fremantle are in "extras-testing", meaning that they are 
effectively in "Beta" status.  I have found and fixed a number of problems 
and new versions will be created soon, I hope.  Note that they have (mostly) 
not been ported to be finger-friendly (you will see what I mean when you try 
them).

The N900 comes with contacts and calendar/todo apps so it is not clear the GPE 
apps are very useful on the N900.  But I do intend to eventually get them

Re: Recording calls

[Thomas Waelti]

I have now uploaded my "recaller" widget to the autobuilder, it built OK and 
should show up in extras-devel during the next hours (IF the servers work again 
- I have 0.2.0 of sleeper still not showing up in the package interface after 2 
hours in the queue).
The widget is encoding in AAC stereo right now at 128 kBit - this takes about 1 
MB per minute in very good quality. Probably overkill, but the 27 GB in MyDcos 
give you 460h of recording time, so everything has become a bit relative on a 
monster like the N900 :-)

And yes, the widget can also be used as a simple recorder/dictaphone.

Best regards

Re: Recording calls

Just one thought on this:

Most people are going to do playback on the device.  I would focus on the best 
codec available for recording and playback on the N900.  If people want to use 
it some other place, maybe making an export function (for Wav or MP3 or 
whatever) would suffice.  Worst case, make a selectable setting for which codec 
to use and let the user decide?

One idea:  Most phone conversations are mono.  Maybe a good strategy would be 
to record in stereo, with inbound on one channel and out-bound on the other?  
It would make listening to it later interesting, since you could balance out

IM client cannot connect to ICQ anymore

[Marcel]

Hello,

I have the additional protocols package for the built-in IM client
installed and one ICQ account configured. Since about two weeks, ICQ
refuses to connect. I suspect this being the same problem with
"ClientLogin" that Pidgin suffered from some time ago, but I cannot find
a useful error message, the only thing I see is the yellow popup saying
"one or more accounts were unable to connect" - translated loosely from
german. Which is no more than "it doesn't work" which would be accepted
in no Linux related board... Does telepathy keep logs anywhere? Or
another hint?

In Symbian phones there are many call recorder apps, including the
ability to disable the warning beep (since it's not required in all
places, as you described). Recording into various formats (AMR seems
preferred for voice since it has a very small size). And features like
auto-uploading your conversations to a FTP/web server for later
reference, rather than storing all only on the phone.

Strange, it seems mine is behaving the opposite. The same e-mails in
Outlook Web Access or in Outlook proper have colors/images like
normal, but everything is text-only (no images, no colors) in modest.

My gmail/ovi show the full HTML emails properly in modest, only the
MfE account doesn't. Maybe I should file a bug?

I saw this recently when trying to reproduce bug 8111 in Catorise.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Ensure "Phone" is set to "always portrait"
1) As root, edit /etc/xdg/menus/hildon/applications.menu
2) Add an include of rtcom-call-ui.desktop
3) Launch "Phone" from the "More..." menu
4) Close "Phone".

EXPECTED OUTCOME
UI rotates back to landscape.

ACTUAL OUTCOME
UI stays in portrait mode.

OTHER COMMENTS
This seems to be a well known "exploit" for getting portrait mode in 1.2009.x:

Re: Recording calls

[Thomas Wälti]

The problem is to find a compromise between:
a) CPU/power usage
b) Encoding efficiency
c) Playback capability
d) API availability

Due to a) and d), I'm only looking at the gstreamer encoders available
on the N900. Du to c) I have dropped the ANB and AWB codecs from
evaluation - I was unable to quickly find a standard software for
playback on Windows (e.g. WMP or VLC bot failed)

Tonight, I'll try low bitrate AAC as it is probably a good compromise
between these factors. I will also try speex, as it's on the N900 by
default and technically ideally for encoding this kind of audio.
However, I'm not so sure about playback capability on Windows :-) Is
Speex on the N900 using the DSP? Because I guess that all NokiXXXenc
are, e.g. the AAC one.

I have also. I've been attempting to find a way of intentionally
reproducing it, but I have not yet had success in that, so I haven't
yet opened a bug report. I can say that (on my N900 at least) when
this bug is in effect, using "slide to unlock" will force the UI back
into landscape temporarily--until I use the phone app in portrait
again. Rebooting the N900 clears the problem.

In Spain you have to warn the other person about it and that's why
everytime you call a call center they warn you about they might be
recording it.

Web Runtime is coming to Maemo. There were live coding demos in the
Maemo Summit already.

btw, you are asking a developer question in the maemo-users list. If you
would be in the maemo-developers list you would have seen my email some
weeks ago.  :)

Seems like you hit a bug in the transition from portrait to landscape: afaik it 
is not yet possible to use the application manager in portrait mode.

Please file a bug, with as much detail as you can especially if you can 
reproduce it.

It is an easter egg. only bugreport that is reasonable could be that easter egg 
can't be disabled. but one has to input ctr+shift+o when at browser to enable 
the easter egg aka portrait mode for the browser.

  

No, it's a real bug: I have witnessed it without using the browser.
Most likely a race or wrong locking because those few times it happened, 
the device was somehow slow and i bet some non-protected sequence 
completed in a time significantly different from its usual execution.

You shouldn't need to do anything yo view HTML email in Modest. Actually
if your message is like multipart/alternative with both text and html
parts, we always try to show the HTML one.

I went to install Carman today, and it seemps 
repository.maemo.org is
not resolving - I get an NXDOMAIN on it, from several sources, including
going directly to the name servers for maemo.org.

Problem with servers because of the server move. Just wait and try again for 
example in 2-4 hours.

Deactivate buggy portrait mode on N900

[Johas]

Hello,

since last week, I can use my N900 in portrait mode after using the phone app 
in portrait mode and hanging up. However, it is not working properly -- some 
icons and widgets are located off the screen and cannot be accessed. I 
appreciate that feature but would like to wait until it is actually more 
usable.
The thing is that i cannot reproducably switch back to landscape mode: 
Sometimes the phone switches back after locking and unlocking it; sometimes 
some application cause it to switch back. I want to disable the portrait mode 
"feature" generally until it is ready for use. Can anybody tell me how i do 
this?

Johas

PS. I read somewhere that you can activate portrait mode with the newest 
firmware by pressing ctrl+shift+o in the browser app. However, I don't 
remember doing this and it doesn't help turning the feature off again.
