Guest224with pinephone volume goes 100% in every restart. It should save volume settngs for next start up like with Maemo5.10:33
Guest224and 100% makes speaker distortion with some applications.10:38
Wizzupyeah that sounds like too much10:40
Guest224Language settings works fine with virtual keyboard it would be nice if I could change hardware keyboard layout too.10:45
Guest224it would be nice to write: ö and ä10:47
Guest224What file have to edit for hardware keyboard layout?10:54
Guest224Should Pine-button do something or is it modifier button like with Apple-button?11:08
Guest224It might be nice if it works like pressing top left corner of screen or like fullscreen button in N810 with Maemo 4.11:20
Guest224or should it work as F11 so can get back from full screen mode of latest Firefox.11:33
Guest224Maybe it would be best that user can choose how pine-button works.11:35
siceloarno11, how are you setting landscape exactly?11:45
Guest224It seems that latest Firefox can play 720p videos from finnish broadcasting company YLE web pages. lip sync is not tight. Funny was that by default automatic quality was 1080p and Pinephone tried to scale it short time :) I think BBC Reels has same kind of web page and it has not quality settings and it works like YLE at 1080p.11:49
Guest224maybe somebody might try with droid4 with 360p quality?11:55
Guest224total memory usage with Pinephone at video playing time was 1.1GB, so droid might swap not needed to swap.11:57
arno11sicelo: [Gui]12:13
arno11LandscapeCalls=True12:14
siceloone more question ... did you reboot in between? or at least kill sphone?12:14
arno11in /usr/share/sphone/sphone.ini12:14
siceloyou might have the old binary still running12:14
sicelosok12:15
arno11nope because hiddencall=false works12:15
siceloso kill sphone, and start it anew12:15
sicelooh, mmm12:15
arno11and now sphone is fast12:15
siceloI'll check again on my n900 shortly12:15
arno11pkill and restart several times12:15
arno11already done12:15
arno11ok12:15
sicelotaking forever at locales 😵‍💫12:21
arno11oh yes lol12:23
arno11issue solved12:23
arno11use true instead of True12:23
arno11in sphone.ini12:25
siceloah :-)12:36
arno11:)12:39
arno11now it's ok and works pretty well with chrt 90 for sphone12:40
arno11and 99 for pulseaudio and cmt_pulse12:40
arno11and i recommend you to modify transitions.ini ;)12:42
arno11and thx for sphone modif12:43
siceloyw.12:43
siceloi suppose this change is useful for VM too, as well as some tablets ...12:44
arno11yes probably12:44
sicelothe sphone change, i mean12:54
sicelobtw you sent the transitions.ini12:54
siceloso the D4 modem disappeared from the bus ... walked out on me. How to kindly request it to return?13:42
Wizzupis it gone from the uabs bus?13:43
Wizzupfrom the usb bus13:43
siceloyes13:46
sicelowhat is its driver btw?13:49
Wizzupsicelo: maybe reload the modules yeah, I've also seen this happen in some rare cases13:56
tmlindsicelo: in theory it should come back automatically.. the driver is ohci-platform13:58
tmlindsicelo: please save your dmesg and maybe post the interesting parts somewhere to look at like last half an hour of messages, also check battery voltage13:59
tmlindgot mz617 modem visible on usb too with a pile of hacks, seems to only connect in gsm and 3g not lte mode14:00
tmlindlooks like the phy driver needs changes, and ehci-omap driver to support drivers/phy, still very flakey14:01
siceloi ended up rebooting. the modem was gone for more than 12 hours, going by the smses that came in after reboot14:14
siceloi wasn't aware of this, because the icon for modem was still showing14:15
tmlindok14:26
Wizzupsicelo: odd @ still showing14:44
Wizzuptmlind: cool @ modem!14:44
Guest224btw..should lte mode works with Droid4?15:11
Guest224*work15:11
tmlinddon't know, does not seem to at least by default15:20
Guest224wiki about Pinephone USB can update, because host mode is tested: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=10145015:31
arno11uvos: sicelo: i doublechecked and booleans with capital letter doesn't work in sphone.ini. False is not recognized but works because false is default.15:50
arno11to avoid confusion, probably better to replace False by false otherwise users will use True instead of true (like me lol)15:51
arno11and it doesn't work15:52
arno11anyway thx again guys, now sphone is usable on n900 (almost) ootb15:55
Guest224default Calendar app has align bug in month view, week numbers doesnt align to week rows, in Pinephone screen there is room to one extra number colum, how about with Droid4?16:03
arno11uvos: do you think it is possible to add an option to hide ofono/commtest btn through sphone.ini ? this way i think the keypad will be usable on n900 (it appears sometimes during one second on my device instead of the ofono/commtest btn)16:04
arno11*i mean in landscape mode16:05
uvosGuest224: the d4's lte modem cant work anywhere (even in android) as it only supports a band only ever used by verizon and verizon wont activate the phone for you because it dosent support volte16:06
uvosGuest224: mz617 has a totaly different unrelated modem that supports more bands and should work (in andorid, mainline linux pending)16:07
Guest224uvos: good to know16:08
uvosso yeah you can boot the lte modem on d416:08
uvosand mess around with it and make it scan for networks16:08
uvosthats it however16:08
uvosit wont do anything more usefull (likely ever)16:08
Guest224so starting wait to NeoDroid4 :)16:11
Guest224with 5G :D16:12
Guest224Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro is perfect for Pinephone. Lapdock gives wrong monitor EDID number of its screen and Pinephone with Docking Bar HDMI cannot read it due hardware bug :) ..of course it needs cable with pull button to round test that is lapdock connected to Motorola phone.16:19
uvostmlind: dose sound work for you on 6.6 on a mapphone?  i rebased our maemo linux fork on 6.6rc4 have audio-graph-card an endless defer loop, ultimately comeing from snd_soc_get_dlc returing defer as it cant find any componant.16:21
uvostmlind: ie the omap dai dosent apear to probe16:21
uvoson the plus side hdmi-audio started working agin at some point between 6.1 and 6.6 so thats nice16:23
uvos:P16:23
uvossicelo: ill fix the sphone commit no need to pr it16:27
Guest224uvos: Good I just bought second hand small USB powered HDMI to SPDIF converter. Hoping that Maemo someday support audio to HDMI.16:31
uvosGuest224: once the kernel is updated it should just work16:37
uvosGuest224: however i dont understand why you would want to use hdmi audio in this case vs just using a usb soundcard via otg16:38
uvosas that would work right now, be less cables and the micro hdmi connector is super fragile16:39
Guest224it leaves room for another USB devices16:44
tmlinduvos: see the mcbsp thread on linux-omap list16:48
tmlinduvos: also see the related clock fix(es) i posted to linux-clk list, i think that's a partial fix only still16:48
Guest224Does somebody know how much mA USB power can Droid4 or Pinephone can give? N900 can give 200 mA.16:50
tmlinduvos: i have not gotten to rebasing d4 patches yet beyond the mz617 branch so far16:50
tmlind6.6 should be the stable kernel though makes sense to use that16:50
* tmlind heading to vapaatorstai.fi now16:52
Guest224so there will be Maemo 6.6 before Maemo 7 ;)16:53
Guest224Can somebody confirm is this bug only in my Pinephone or is this common: connect net with 4G, leave browser open, disconnect, try reconnect with 4G after some minutes then connect icon just blinking and have to restart phone to get 4G connection work again.18:21
Guest224uvos: Is mz617 and mz609 same device exept different screen size?18:44
maxwelldGuest224, i added most of the layouts, those were just separately installable keyboard layouts on fremantle. now they are available out of the box. but i did not figure out anything about hardware keyboards. i think it is hard because every device has a different keyboard. anyway, i didn't even think about hw keyboards.20:26
maxwelldi know i am not very helpful on this question and i am even less helpful on others.20:27
maxwelldi use lapdock with my droid4, i prepared special xorg.conf for it.20:28
maxwelldwhen i need to use the lapdock i copy it to /etc/X11 https://github.com/norayr/home_sweet_home/blob/master/scripts/droid4/lapdock/xorg.conf20:29
maxwelldand reboot. when i don't want to use it anymore i delete it and reboot.20:29
maxwelldi also used lapdock with windowmaker as root, but i don't remember now how. maybe i uninstalled maemo stuff, and maybe i booted via emergency mode and then started some services and i certainly remember i used .xinitrc for that.20:30
maxwelldi think it is much better to use windowmaker with lapdock than hildon (sorry for herecy in this channel).20:30
maxwelldneed to remember how i was doing that.20:31
maxwelldGuest224, related to keyboard we (users, i am not a maemo dev, just did some small works) have more problems.20:34
maxwelldPinephone specific is that maemo used volume up button to trigger the battery. now it doesn't work because volume up button works for sound. i don't remember why was it working at all.20:34
maxwelldnot pinephone specific is that onscreen keyboard doesn't work with just any x11 program. currently it has to be patched gtk2 or gtk3 from maemo repos, and then it works. and it works for some version(s) of qt i guess. i once found a function which could help when i was patching svkbd, but the devs said they know and it is not a good solution so well, i guess they are right.20:37
maxwelldor maybe it works when you manually do setxkbmap and then use that keyboard,  i remember something like that. anyway i just use leafpad now, write in it with maemo keyboard, and then copy paste to other places.20:38
maxwelldof course this is when i use non-latin script.20:38
maxwelldoh Guest224 is not here...20:39
Guest224maxwelld: thanks for your answer, I saw it thru logs20:55
Guest224Pinephone Keyboard (Pinephone+Pinephone Keyboard) works in every application, I only use onscreen keyboard with letters that are not in default layout, that actually doesnt match to prints of keycaps (side of number keys)21:15
Guest224maxwelld: your hint about setxkbmap guide me to right direction, I think that now I can setup hardware keyboards, but have to make some edits.21:35
Guest224I think right way to make virtual keybord to work all apps is make it to look like hardware keyboard to lower level system.21:53
maxwelldfrom what i remember pp keyboard works differently under maemo and under postmarketos last time i tried. it was said here once that the reason is xkb-data which needs to be imported to maemo, but i don't remember. i didn't use hwkbd for some times because it makes pp thick and it works fine with svkbd and sxmo.22:10
Guest224I might have to do keycodes, keymap and rules files specially for Pinephone Keyboard...or check how they PMOS devs have done it.22:14
maxwelldyeah i remembered. the xfree function i mentioned is able to add a symbol to current xkb layout.22:14
maxwelldso doing setxkbmap would be not necessary.22:14
Guest224that is true..but I might want make new keycodes file to get Pine-button work..but I dont know what files is used right now..what config file I should check?22:24
Guest224and if I want make new keycodes file then I have to also edit current keymaps and rules files.22:26
maxwelldwhatever i say can be wrong. i don't understand anything: i can suggest to use xev program to get a keycode of pine keyboard and modify some xkb layout to react somehow to it. maybe use xkb layout from other os, maybe mobian?22:27
maxwelldoh which xkb config to use? i am not sure. is there something in /usr/share/X11 named like pinephone?22:29
Guest224that is why asking because there is not named like pinephone22:30
maxwelldmy guess is that xkb-data from mobian or maybe pmos should be imported and added to maemo repos. because i remember the kbd behaves differently under pmos.22:31
Guest224I might be good idea..or maybe we should make better than pmos :) It doesnt look hard, only problem is that I dont know what xkb files are use right now.22:37
Guest224there is even ataritt and amiga keycode files in Maemo :)22:39
Guest224there should be keymap file at /usr/share/X11/xkb/23:05
Guest224 , but there is not, does Maemo Leste works differently than old linuxes?23:05
gnarfaceit's probably in /etc/ somewhere23:08
Guest224I checked with find of Midnight Commander and there is 3 keymap files, but none of them is related to this.23:15
Guest224ok..no deed23:23
Guest224no need to make ney keycode file23:23
Guest224xev says about Pine-button: keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L)23:26
