Wizzup(also, I'll be back again later, in a few hours)04:52
dakedresAnyone know if there's a way around needing a micro sim?? Just to poke around the base android install04:57
dakedresAlso is it just standard micro sim? the pins look weird04:57
Wizzupdakedres: you don't need a sim, but if you want to use it as a phone you kind of do08:29
siceloor maybe they mean that annoying thing with having to touch the four corners on  a freshly flashed device09:37

maxwelld> Hey so I picked up a Droid 4 to try daily driving Maemo Leste12:54
maxwelldi do that since january. it is hard, but doable.12:54
_uvos_i also daily my d4, altho i do usually also carry a android phone just in case, i usually dont use it besides giveing the d4 lte14:23
dakedresMy goal is to get away from smartphones haha15:07
dakedresAll I need is calling and music15:08
dakedresAll I need is call, text and music15:08
buZzdakedres: then why not just a phone?15:10
buZzcalling leste 'not a smartphone' is weird to me15:10
dakedresmaemo cool15:10
dakedresoh, I'm just going to not use it *as* a smartphone15:11
buZzso you're not going to use the touchscreen?15:11
buZzwhere you say 'smartphone' you ment PDA, right?15:11
dakedresI mean I don't plan to web browse15:11
dakedresor use gps15:11
dakedresect15:11
buZzoh, ok, that works pretty well though15:11
buZzsame with gps15:11
dakedresAnother part of my motivation was needing to text but I loathe touchscreen keyboards lol15:13
buZz:)15:15
dakedres> oh, ok, that works pretty well though15:33
dakedresWhat doesn't work well? Camera?15:33
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Grab some Symbian and enjoy it :D15:34
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Or MeeGo or Maemo. It will be even better, as it's Linux. Will do "not a smartphone but still can do something" very well.15:35
dakedresOh wow15:35
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> I use Symbian as daily phone and it's possible :P15:35
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> (although can be sometimes hard, but I don't mind. My dad uses Symbian as daily phone too)15:35
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> As long as 3G works (works in Poland)15:35
dakedresWell I'm atleast pretty sure the droid is 4g15:36
dakedreswhich should still give me very good coverage here in the states15:36
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Yes, I'm thinking of using Droid 4 as main phone when I receive it :P15:37
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> For now, if 3G dies, I will use Xperia 10 Plus with Sailfish OS15:37
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Or F(x)tec Pro1 (with Sailfish too)15:37
buZzi wish maemo was as fast as symbian15:37
buZzdakedres: cameras doesnt 'not work well' it doesnt work at all on droid415:38
buZzsomeone started trying to implement, afaik they never got an image from it15:38
buZzdakedres: droid is ONLY 4g on 'verizon LTE'15:38
buZznot on the actual 4G the globe uses15:38
dakedreswhat Noooo15:38
dakedresCurse you verizon15:38
buZzyou misspelled motorola?15:39
dakedreshaha15:39
buZzthe hw can do it, motorola limited the implementation15:39
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Oh no15:39
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Sad15:39
buZz¯\_(ツ)_/¯15:39
dakedresthat's so pain15:39
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> So I will use Sailfish then15:39
buZzimho, even 2G is just fine15:39
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Well I will miss 3G15:40
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Even for visiting Telegram on my Nokia 80815:40
buZzi dont understand what sailfish has to do with limitations of droid4 hardware, but sure15:40
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> <Re m​aemoleste_irc_bot: <buZz> i dont u…> I just mean I will use Sailfish as daily in future15:40
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Nothing to do with D415:40
buZzcould you please just chat, not use dumb reply spaqm15:40
buZz-q15:40
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Sorry, report it to TeleIRC dev, lol15:41
buZzi could just kick the bot, np15:41
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> Cool... sorry if the bot spams...15:41
buZzno, its you15:42
tg-bridge-bot<W​underW_PL> "<Re m​aemoleste_irc_bot: <buZz> i dont u…" is written by bot15:42
buZzfcking nonsense15:42
WunderWungielSorry, I didn't mean to spam15:45
WunderWungielNevermind15:45
WunderWungielThe bot teached me to not use bridges anymore, lol15:45
dakedresIs maemo leste slower than maemo?15:47
buZzno15:48
buZzkernel 6 is way faster than kernel 215:48
dakedresthat's what i figured15:49
siceloyou can't really make that kind of comparison16:44
_uvos_i would exect leste to be overall slower on n900, since things hve grown in size and n900 is mostly slow due to ram ressure17:15
_uvos_*pressure17:15
_uvos_that said, leste is mutch faster because you can run it on mutch better hardware ;)17:16
buZzi remember the amazing faster desktop i got from moving to kernel 2.x to 3.x , and similar increase from 3.x to 4.x17:35
buZzbut yeah , that was x8617:35
WizzupbuZz: I think it was kind of nice that we had a wider reach for to the community with hte bot17:54
buZzoh, it was from leste?17:55
Wizzupno, they added it, but it wasn't just his17:56
Wizzupit was brides to the leste telegram group that someone else runs I think17:56
WizzupI also haven't really caught up with the backlog yet, will in a bit17:56
buZzi never seen anyone use it17:57
buZzbeside this one user17:57
buZzsorry, just assumed it was their own17:58
WizzupI used it to chat with some folks, but I don't have a good sense of many there are17:59
sicelointeresting @als dying off23:39
