Wizzup: so, the solder does not stick to the board or to the battery wires?
<Wizzup>
wires mostly
<freemangordon>
you shoudl use better flux and higher temperature
<Wizzup>
but the pciture looks ok?
<Wizzup>
I only have the very low res photos from tony here
<freemangordon>
try with aspirin (keep away from the smoke)
<freemangordon>
yes, picture is ok
<freemangordon>
you have aspirin, right?
<Wizzup>
I only have one soldering iron here, so I probably can't go higher temperature wise
<Wizzup>
aspirin?
<freemangordon>
acetisal
<Wizzup>
what for?
<freemangordon>
for flux ;)
<bencoh>
for headaches I guess
<Wizzup>
I have some flux from poland
<bencoh>

<freemangordon>
seems too weak for me
<Wizzup>
ok
<Wizzup>
well, I'm going to give up for now then
<Wizzup>
I need to leave in ~2 days and I don't have the right tools then
<freemangordon>
try with acetysal as flux, I am not kidding
<Wizzup>
maybe in 1-2 months :)
<freemangordon>
hmm?
<freemangordon>
"acetylsalicylic acid" you should have it around
<freemangordon>
ok, as you wish :)
<Wizzup>
I'll check tonight, but I have to travel for 4 weeks soon
<freemangordon>
ok
<Wizzup>
and I am not sure if I want to carry a bomb in my pocket in the philippines
<freemangordon>
heh
<Wizzup>
given the humidity and heat there
<Wizzup>
it's truly a shame that polarcell doesn't make d4 batteries :D
<bencoh>
yeah
<Wizzup>
maybe if we order 50 or so they would be willing to put d4 pcbs om the e960 pcbs or so, idk
<Wizzup>
I guess they'd have to make the pcbs
<bencoh>
we'd probably need to order more than 50
<Wizzup>
probably
* Wizzup
is frustrated
<Wizzup>
I just want to use my d4 for a while effectively :D
<Wizzup>
all these depleted 500mWh batteries are useless
<bencoh>
yeah, those eb41 are just ... not really usable
* sicelo
thinks Wizzup is a boring person ... carrying a bomb around is fun [< Wizzup> and I am not sure if I want to carry a bomb in my pocket in the philippines]
<Wizzup>
I guess there are potentially 'new' replacements

Wizzup: freemangordon: overclock (boost) + irtx patch + tweaking chrt priorities for calls make things working pretty well on N900 :)
<sicelo>
arno11: nice! now it's time to make this work ootb, without needing user to fiddle with anything
<arno11>
agree x10
<sicelo>
my droid 4 is back, finally.
<Wizzup>
uvos: yeah I wasn't sure if I were supposed to keep them or not
<Wizzup>
well I guess I have another e960 so I could try..
<uvos>
Wizzup: well get cracking then
<uvos>
:P
<uvos>
sicelo: where did it go?
<sicelo>
mmm, what's the schedule for building device images? looks like last image is from Sept 3?
<sicelo>
uvos: i had to lend my mom, because she had an unexpected phone 'emergency' for a couple of months

means images aren't building again then

Wizzup: can we manage this differently somehow, maybe setup email alerts on jenkins?
<uvos>
this keeps on breaking and we dont notice
<sicelo>
we could/should consider purging older images too. e.g. pmos only keeps last three images per device. we have less devices, true, but we probably don't need to keep images indefinitely
<Wizzup>
uvos: I'm afraid I'll just break the third one too
<Wizzup>
I don't even have all the right tape here or hotglue (freshly moved a few months ago)
<Wizzup>
will look at ci

if you have enough of the 'shiny' metal from the old battery, normal solder will work
<uvos>
thats pretty wierd, looks like and oxide, but nickle oxide is green
<freemangordon>
looks like something has leaked from the battery
<freemangordon>
in any case does not look healthy :)
<sicelo>
mmm, that's from the original battery?
<Wizzup>
uvos: yeah not sure, the clips were a bit hot and then I just touched them with tweezers
<Wizzup>
it gave me a small (mental) shock :D
<Wizzup>
sicelo: no, e960
<Wizzup>
freemangordon: this happened when I touched it with tweezers
<Wizzup>
but this was the first one

Wizzup, you can just carry a portable battery around. I do for d4 and pinephone.
<maxwelld>
i charge them when necessary
<Wizzup>
sure I can, but that's not what I want

i recommend allways carrying a RTG arround to power your leste device
<maxwelld>
> sure I can, but that's not what I want
<maxwelld>
though i really really really love using old devices with modern software, and that's what i myself do, i am afraid i need to understand that we cannot keep using old devices always.
<maxwelld>
leste needs to work well on newer devices.
<uvos>
sure, but afaik the droid 4 and its siblings are still really the most modern devices that have its level the 2 factors i find most important in a linux phone: 1. hardware enablement in the mainline kernel 2. working high quality power management
<uvos>
unfortinatly its a bit hard to keep up with the state of every other deivce, but afaik still nothing matches the mapphones.
<uvos>
also hardware keyboard is nice, but i could maybe do without
