Hey so I picked up a Droid 4 to try daily driving Maemo Leste
<Wizzup>
great, any questions?
<Wizzup>
(also, I'll be back again later, in a few hours)
<dakedres>
Anyone know if there's a way around needing a micro sim?? Just to poke around the base android install
<dakedres>
Also is it just standard micro sim? the pins look weird

dakedres: you don't need a sim, but if you want to use it as a phone you kind of do
<sicelo>
or maybe they mean that annoying thing with having to touch the four corners on a freshly flashed device

My goal is to get away from smartphones haha
<dakedres>
All I need is calling and music
<dakedres>
All I need is call, text and music
<buZz>
dakedres: then why not just a phone?
<buZz>
calling leste 'not a smartphone' is weird to me
<dakedres>
maemo cool
<dakedres>
oh, I'm just going to not use it *as* a smartphone
<buZz>
so you're not going to use the touchscreen?
<buZz>
where you say 'smartphone' you ment PDA, right?
<dakedres>
I mean I don't plan to web browse
<dakedres>
or use gps
<dakedres>
ect
<buZz>
oh, ok, that works pretty well though
<buZz>
same with gps
<dakedres>
Another part of my motivation was needing to text but I loathe touchscreen keyboards lol
<buZz>
:)
<dakedres>
> oh, ok, that works pretty well though
<dakedres>
What doesn't work well? Camera?
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Grab some Symbian and enjoy it :D
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_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.
<dakedres>
Oh wow
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> I use Symbian as daily phone and it's possible :P
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> (although can be sometimes hard, but I don't mind. My dad uses Symbian as daily phone too)
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> As long as 3G works (works in Poland)
<dakedres>
Well I'm atleast pretty sure the droid is 4g
<dakedres>
which should still give me very good coverage here in the states
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Yes, I'm thinking of using Droid 4 as main phone when I receive it :P
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> For now, if 3G dies, I will use Xperia 10 Plus with Sailfish OS
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Or F(x)tec Pro1 (with Sailfish too)
<buZz>
i wish maemo was as fast as symbian
<buZz>
dakedres: cameras doesnt 'not work well' it doesnt work at all on droid4
<buZz>
someone started trying to implement, afaik they never got an image from it
<buZz>
dakedres: droid is ONLY 4g on 'verizon LTE'
<buZz>
not on the actual 4G the globe uses
<dakedres>
what Noooo
<dakedres>
Curse you verizon
<buZz>
you misspelled motorola?
<dakedres>
haha
<buZz>
the hw can do it, motorola limited the implementation
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Oh no
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Sad
<buZz>
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<dakedres>
that's so pain
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> So I will use Sailfish then
<buZz>
imho, even 2G is just fine
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Well I will miss 3G
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Even for visiting Telegram on my Nokia 808
<buZz>
i dont understand what sailfish has to do with limitations of droid4 hardware, but sure
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> <Re maemoleste_irc_bot: <buZz> i dont u…> I just mean I will use Sailfish as daily in future
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Nothing to do with D4
<buZz>
could you please just chat, not use dumb reply spaqm
<buZz>
-q
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Sorry, report it to TeleIRC dev, lol
<buZz>
i could just kick the bot, np
<tg-bridge-bot>
<WunderW_PL> Cool... sorry if the bot spams...
<buZz>

Sorry, I didn't mean to spam
<WunderWungiel>
Nevermind
<WunderWungiel>
The bot teached me to not use bridges anymore, lol
<dakedres>
Is maemo leste slower than maemo?
<buZz>
no
<buZz>
kernel 6 is way faster than kernel 2

you can't really make that kind of comparison
_uvos_ has joined #maemo-leste
<_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 ressure
<_uvos_>
*pressure
<_uvos_>
that said, leste is mutch faster because you can run it on mutch better hardware ;)

i remember the amazing faster desktop i got from moving to kernel 2.x to 3.x , and similar increase from 3.x to 4.x
<buZz>
but yeah , that was x86
<Wizzup>
buZz: I think it was kind of nice that we had a wider reach for to the community with hte bot
<buZz>
oh, it was from leste?
<Wizzup>
no, they added it, but it wasn't just his
<Wizzup>
it was brides to the leste telegram group that someone else runs I think
<Wizzup>
I also haven't really caught up with the backlog yet, will in a bit
<buZz>
i never seen anyone use it
<buZz>
beside this one user
<buZz>
sorry, just assumed it was their own
<Wizzup>
I used it to chat with some folks, but I don't have a good sense of many there are
