| sicelo | the driver for N900's fuel gauge polls the chip every 6 minutes, unless some other external event happens (e.g. charger connected). The driver does provide a parameter to customize the polling period. I'm thinking to change it to maybe 15s. | 11:55 |
|---|---|---|
| sicelo | any comments/objections? maybe power usage concerns? | 11:56 |
| arno11 | @telegram-desktop again, the app is amazing (for a n900). got exactly same screen and functionalities as my andro app. probably a must have. end to end encrypted calls work fine btw (but it works fine only after 30 sec, probably because of buffer size/time issues) | 15:18 |
| arno11 | animated emoji or stickers works, video preview works (but slow), audio msgs work | 15:19 |
| arno11 | i'm not a big fan of telegram (-desktop) but the way it works with modern stuff, using 250-400MB of swap with almost no slowdown is impressive and a kind of proof of concept for our low power n900 | 15:22 |
| sicelo | you're tempting me to reinstall it!! | 15:26 |
| * sicelo decides to block arno11 | 15:26 | |
| sicelo | :p | 15:26 |
| arno11 | :P you should definitely try it again | 15:26 |
| dsc_ | tg-desktop is quite impressive because its Qt, looks like quick, but its widgets | 15:28 |
| arno11 | sicelo: fmg useful tips: renice -n -8 xorg, mce, H-D and systemui | 15:28 |
| arno11 | dsc_: ok but the fact that a heavy 'app' using sometimes 500MB of swap is still usable on n900, is a big surprise and hope | 15:33 |
| dsc_ | for sure :) | 15:33 |
| arno11 | :) | 15:33 |
| sicelo | arno11: how does sphone behave with those tweaks when there's an incoming call? | 16:02 |
| arno11 | sicelo: it opens quite quickly | 16:04 |
| arno11 | i mean, there is almost no change, excepting better and smoother multitasking | 16:05 |
| arno11 | for example, i can use tg-desktop, pidgin with skype, conversations, irssi and drnoksnes at the same time with no slowdown | 16:09 |
| sicelo | oh that's super! I don't mind stuff being slow, but it's not acceptable on a phone application | 16:09 |
| arno11 | yes sure | 16:10 |
| arno11 | there is no inpact on sphone afaik | 16:10 |
| arno11 | now with fmg shader fix, i use a different transitions file btw, with low home radius and some slower transitions, making UI smoother | 16:13 |
| arno11 | i definitely should make a video for 15y's n900 | 16:14 |
| sicelo | yeah, video would be nice, showcasing Telegram client, games, etc. | 16:24 |
| arno11 | yup and switching quickly between apps | 16:25 |
| uvos__ | sphone got a huge speed buff recently | 16:33 |
| uvos__ | this is inidpendant of anything else | 16:33 |
| arno11 | yes indeed, thx again, it is really faster now | 16:35 |
| uvos__ | yeah tg-desktop is really a show of "how its done" in terms of a convergant application | 16:35 |
| uvos__ | its fast, fully native code and scales well to any screen size you might have | 16:36 |
| arno11 | uvos: it is a bit unbelievable how it deals well with swap, no ? (at least with sd swap) | 16:42 |
| arno11 | currently i have 250MB of swap in use and no inpact on device responsiveness | 16:44 |
| arno11 | sometimes 400-500... | 16:44 |
| sicelo | what's the size of your swap | 17:00 |
| arno11 | 1GB | 17:00 |
| arno11 | bbl | 17:09 |
