Re: Your help needed in improving N810 GPS performance

The patch is no longer needed. It was only supposed to work until the end of February (it fixed a leap year bug). Even in February it apparently didn't help; the improvements people were seeing may...

Re: OS2008 v. 2.2007.51-3 impressions?

I believe OS2008 50.2 was already 4.0.1.

4.0 was the first OS2008 beta.

As an example, the version of osso-gpsd in 4.0.1 is 1.0.25. 50.2 had the same exact version.

Re: N810 power on issue and the temperature theory

N810's max allowed temperature is 80C

[user@nokia ~]$ cat /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.1/i2c-1/1-0048/temp1_crit
80000

I doubt you are exceeding it.

Re: [Announce] utility to display tablet's internal temperature

It turns out that the last site (maemostuff) was infringing on the maemo trademark. Nokia asked me to take it down (very nicely) and I did.

[Announce] utility to display tablet's internal temperature

I wrote a utility to display N810's internal temperature. I think it should also work for N800 and N770. When idle, tablets generate almost no heat, so this sensor can also measure the ambient...

Use your N810 as a light meter

N810 has a light sensor above the camera. The sensor is fairly decent (resolution of 1 lux in 1-50k+ lux range), and is accessible through software. light-meter is a very simple command-line tool to...

Re: [Announce] bash as the default shell

When you do 'sudo gainroot', you are dropped back to ash. I made 'sudo gainroot' backward compatible by popular demand, and that's how the original 'sudo gainroot' behaves (it forces /bin/sh on you).

Re: [Announce] Battery status app

You need to install python2.5-gobject from the extras repository. I will go ahead and add this as a dependency.

Theory about why GPS performs poorly

Re: N810 Developer Discount Deadline Extended

Do they still accept new applications for discount codes? Or is this deadline just for buying N810 with previously allocated codes?

Re: [Announce] easyroot -- an even better way of becoming root

I've made the changes suggested by fanoush. Version 1.0-2 should now be backward-compatible with 'sudo gainroot', plus I use exec whenever possible. Please give it a try.

Re: DIY hardware with os2008/n800

For tilting, the Wiimote works quite well over Bluetooth. There is a python script floating around somewhere to read the 3D acceleration data.
