15:15.10jun_Thank you, ajay!
15:15.28ajayRagingMind: not exactly.. more MHS, etc.
15:16.02RagingMindoh yeah... pre2 does not have free mhs
15:16.23ajayI don't think I need to do anything special to frankenpre, Rod told me that the comm boards are exactly the same, i mean, what else is needed? i don't know what tokens are tho, but tokens are carrier-tied, not esn-tied, right?
15:18.39*** join/#webos-internals hemna_ (~hemna@c-66-60-190-28.ca.zetabroadband.com)
15:19.48RagingMindajay, the tokens part is what always gets me mixed up
15:28.58ajayhmm.. tokens..i feel like it's not necessary
15:29.32ajay's pre is downstairs.. backing up over wifi.. would _Really_ like to run saverestore over VNC!
15:30.10NuttyBunnyajay, why do you backup over wifi???  :)
15:30.19ajayNuttyBunny: USB port is flakey
15:30.45RagingMindajay, there are tools to backup tokens... wouldn't hurt to back up both phones?
15:30.48NuttyBunnymmm... whoa... difficult issue :(
15:30.53RagingMindjust in case
15:31.01ajayNuttyBunny: do you think USB is faster? it doesn't matter to me, because since the phone gets stuck in USB mode (even though it thinks its still in usb mode, the computer can't see it anymore eventually)
15:31.56ajayall the talk i see is of carrier tokens.. but ok will backup .. for kicks? :)
15:31.57NuttyBunnyajay, definitely faster, up to 480Mbps, besides max 54Mbps on wifi, but if it gets disconnected it will be too dangerous to to that way :(
15:32.55ajayhmm.. damn i hadn't really thought of it that way.. have you ever done a speedtest? I wonder how fast the pre really is over usb.. (or any device for that matter :)
15:33.24RagingMindmost wifi is at best 54 Mbit and usb2 is 480 Mbit
15:33.58RagingMindhmm... took me too long to double check my numbers/units... *sigh*
15:34.19ajayyeah, it's SUPER-annoying, because i have to do a reboot or luna restart to get it out of usb mode, and then it complains afterwards that some files were/may have been lost. (And actually, contrary to every other usb device i've ever used, it actually does lose files)
15:34.50ajayRagingMind: i'll guess that real-world the pre has got to best 54, but dunno how close to 480 this stuff can get to..
15:35.29RagingMindajay, I suppose I could test that with my pre... :)
15:36.01RagingMindI wonder what the best way to test that would be... I could novacom get /dev/null  ?
15:39.18NuttyBunnyRagingMind: create a long file, use dd to do it, hold on, lemme test too
15:39.31*** join/#webos-internals Mousey (~wtfisme@ross154.net)
15:40.04RagingMindI suppose reading from /dev/zero would be better
15:40.40RagingMindNuttyBunny, I was thinking /dev/zero rather than a real file to avoid reading from the flash storage as a bottle neck
15:41.11NuttyBunnyRagingMind: yep, that would be a safe bet, mmm... I need a stopwatch
15:41.34RagingMinduse the time command
15:42.10RagingMindand the resulting file size... hoping that your local disk isn't a bottle neck
15:42.22RagingMindcould write to a ram disk :)
15:43.39NuttyBunnymmm... I know, lemme build a command, use dd to create an invisible zero filled file, pipe it through tar, send it through novacom and throw it to /dev/null on the host
15:43.55NuttyBunnyno files involved, no fs bottleneck
15:44.56RagingMindNuttyBunny is a magical bunny
15:47.50NuttyBunnyalmost there... stupid tar: "Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive"
15:48.09*** join/#webos-internals phb (~phb@194.236.60.212)
15:48.25RagingMindWhat are you using tar for?
15:48.47NuttyBunnyto create an imaginary file that would be uncompressed on the host
15:49.47NuttyBunnynot an imaginary file, you can use tar to copy files from one place to another using STDIN and STDOUT, and you avoid creating files, that should be a better explanation
15:50.36NuttyBunnyand dd is the one causing me trouble... stupid redirects
15:51.02ajayoh look, it fails over wifi too. awesome
15:51.14NuttyBunnyduh!! of=FILE  - write to FILE instead of stdout
15:51.23NuttyBunnyajay: what are you backing up, and how?
15:51.41ajayohh if i could use novaterm with unison over usb that would be better..
15:51.44ajayeverything!!
15:51.46ajaystarting with usb
15:51.54ajayi should have skipped the ubuntu iso.. ;^)
15:52.19NuttyBunnyhahaha... yes, PatrickC did that also ;)  backed up the ubuntu iso.. hahahaha
15:53.39RagingMindajay, I use unison over usb in drive mode to back up my media stuff :)
15:53.48ajayRagingMind: I can't use usb drive mode
15:53.50ajayremember
15:53.55RagingMindBUT there's lots of things that you need to tell it to ignore
15:54.09NuttyBunnyRagingMind: You were right, I didn't need tar :D
15:54.17RagingMindyeah... but I imagine there are still the stuff you need to tell it to ignore or it acts... weird
15:54.49NuttyBunnyRagingMind: do you have linux or cygwin?
15:54.54RagingMindlinux
15:55.04NuttyBunnytry this: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 | dd of=/dev/null
15:55.17RagingMindI have one windows box... and it's for things I can't discuss here
15:55.33RagingMindNuttyBunny, on my host machine or pre?
15:56.18NuttyBunnyI think both
15:58.37RagingMindI added a 0 so that it does a gig on my computer, otherwise it went too fast
15:58.58RagingMindlappy: 1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 11.5228 s, 91.0 MB/s
15:59.05NuttyBunnyyeh, but it just test the cpu I think
15:59.10RagingMindpre+: 104857600 bytes (100.0MB) copied, 4.400849 seconds, 22.7MB/s
15:59.17RagingMindYup, that's just cpu :)
15:59.33NuttyBunnynow, the real stuff should be, on the cpu:  novacom -w run file://bin/dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 | dd of=/dev/null
16:00.10RagingMindrunning...
16:01.05NuttyBunnyit should pipe 100Mb of zeroes over novacom and then throw them to /dev/null.  Now, the result...  104857600 bytes (100.0MB) copied, 11.012421 seconds, 9.1MB/s the first (the Pre dd), and 104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 11.0345 s, 9.5 MB/s (the CPU dd)
16:01.19RagingMind104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 21.4181 s, 4.9 MB/s
16:01.41NuttyBunnythat's odd... well, mine is the Pre2
16:01.44NuttyBunnylemme boot the Plus
16:01.51RagingMindI'm trying again with a BS=1M on the second dd
16:02.13RagingMind104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 21.0618 s, 5.0 MB/s
16:02.37ajayare these the pre-in-usb-mode speed tests?
16:02.45RagingMindmatching the BS upped the speed of both dd commands by 0.1 MB/s
16:03.01RagingMindajay, these are in dev mode using usb, yup
16:04.26NuttyBunnyah, but we won't be able to do it easily on wifi to compare...
16:04.41ajayso.. 54 Mb/s wireless .. is about the same speed?
16:05.40NuttyBunnyajay: seems so
16:06.15RagingMindthere's always netcat?
16:06.41NuttyBunnyheh, we may be being struck by a cpu bottleneck
16:06.45RagingMindwhat I'd like to see is to test over usbnet and see if there's novacom overhead
16:07.05NuttyBunnythe plus is 5MB/s, the Pre2 is 9MB/s
16:07.11RagingMindand any commands to test over usbnet could also test over wifi? :)
16:07.36ajaywoa.. that's weird the pre2 has a almost 2x speed increase
16:07.52RagingMindajay, you're unlikely to actually have 54Mbit wifi...
16:07.55ajayi just realized i'm matching against max wifi
16:08.19RagingMindand the pre2 does have 2x raw cpu speed over the pre+
16:08.20NuttyBunnyif you think of raw cpu speed it could be that, the Pre2 is almost the double of the 600Mhz of my Plus on 2.1
16:08.21ajaystill, i don't feel dumb anymore for doing backups over wifi, which was the point of the exercise, so ftw :)
16:08.43ajayoh i just overclocked my pre+ to 800, maybe i better go for 1ghz.. too bad no fixed speed 1 ghz :)
16:08.46RagingMindNuttyBunny, I keep my pre at stock 500 (600 for pdk stuff of course)
16:08.53NuttyBunnyI'll test with a real file
16:08.58ajayoh it won't keep 800 screenstate so it won't keep 1ghz. eh
16:09.09ajayRagingMind: how do you surive!
16:09.48NuttyBunnyI found that 720Mhz is a really nice speed, and it isn't as battery hungry as the faster ones
16:10.45RagingMindajay, I love the phone for how aesthetically pleasing it is and the software it runs... not for the innards
16:11.43RagingMindit's really not all that slow
16:11.56ajayRagingMind: i find 1.4.5 at 500 a bit annoying, 2.1 unusable
16:12.01ajay(mostly)
16:12.06RagingMindI'm on 2.1
16:12.13NuttyBunnyRagingMind: Bah, with a real file it's exactly the same speed
16:12.15ajayi woulda shot myself if i was you :)
16:12.26RagingMindwhat does annoy me (that OCing may fix) is that it doesn't always respond to touch right away
16:12.31ajaymaybe it's my phone.. i'll just tell myself that my pre+ is slower than your phone
16:12.50RagingMindbut my first pre on 2.1 didn't have that problem, just this replacement one
16:12.52ajaymy phone is pretty borked, so i can't say i count as a case study, but mine's not always responsive to touch
16:13.29RagingMindnear the end of the 90 days I have on this I'll go back to 1.4.5 and test... see if I still have the issue and if I can convince them to give me another replacement ;)
16:14.24RagingMindmy first pre+ was super solid on 2.1, and this "new" one... hangs for a second or two a lot and is annoying
16:14.41RagingMindinbetween those moments... it's a champ
16:15.51NuttyBunnyRagingMind: Disable the compcache, you don't need it in a Plus
16:15.53ajayhuh
16:17.10NuttyBunnySo, summarizing, over USB we have: Pre+ - 5MB/s (40Mbps), Pre2 - 9MB/s(72Mbps)... and according to wikipedia: Typical hi-speed USB hard drives can be written to at rates around 25–30 MB/s, and read from at rates of 30–42 MB/s, according to routine testing done by CNet. This is 70% of the total bandwidth available.
16:17.16RagingMindNuttyBunny, I thought compcache only enabled if it was a pre-
16:17.49NuttyBunnyRagingMind: Nope, it's enabled on every legacy device (it comes also on the Pixi 2.1), fixed at 10Mb
16:17.58NuttyBunnylook into /etc/eventd/compcache
16:18.07NuttyBunnyevent.d
16:18.29RagingMindI swear I asked about that and rod said it was pre- only... I probably misread it though
16:18.32RagingMind*sigh*
16:18.36ajayhaving compcache enabled could HURT performance??
16:19.13RagingMindif you have the memory available, why bother wasting the cpu cycles compressing anything?
16:19.15ajaythat's nowhere near 480 MB/s (or is it mbps?)
16:19.20NuttyBunnyRagingMind: /etc/palm/preferences/compcache_enabled exists on my Pre+
16:19.34RagingMindajay, 480Mbit is usb
16:19.58*** join/#webos-internals chuqui (~chuqui@palm-64-28-152-131.palm.com)
16:20.03NuttyBunnyajay: Not even close, veeeery slow, RagingMind, we are way low than the fastest theoretical speed
16:20.06NuttyBunnyhey Chuqui! :D
16:20.37RagingMindNuttyBunny, that's why I want to test over usbnet mode
16:20.45ajayRagingMind: oh its Mbit, not MBit.. so 30 MB/s=240 Mbps.. half of theoretical. i guess that's not bad..
16:20.46chuquihey, NuttyBunny
16:21.01RagingMindi'm wondering if novacom on the pre is a bottle neck
16:21.02NuttyBunnyRagingMind: compcache could be the culprit of the small hickups you have, it may be compressing and decompressing something in those moments
16:21.02ajaydoin rsync -av sata to sata now, will be curious to see what it puts out
16:21.18NuttyBunnyajay: no, no, 5MB/s = 40Mbps
16:21.49ajayNuttyBunny: ? i meant for the high-speed usb HDDs..
16:21.51RagingMindNuttyBunny, I didn't have the hiccups the first time I was on 2.1 :(
16:22.05NuttyBunnychuqui, we're discussing on how the Pre USB transfer is about 10 times slower than the max theoretical speed for usb 2.0 :D
16:22.39ajayRagingMind: I wonder if the doctor has changed since then..
16:22.59RagingMindI *don't* have to reboot after disabling compcache?
16:23.10NuttyBunnyRagingMind: well, also the databases fill up with info that doesn't get clean up, my Pre2 takes 4-5 minutes to boot
16:23.29NuttyBunnyRagingMind: mmm... if done with govnah, no
16:23.54ajayNuttyBunny: I thought a large part of the bootup time is related to how many apps you have installed.. there's db cruft too? hrmm..
16:23.57NuttyBunnyajay: ah, yes, 30MB - 240Mbps, yes, for the hard drives
16:24.31NuttyBunnyajay: in my case for some reason it's checking the media partition every time it boots... it takes about a minute to do it :@
16:24.38ajayso just delete mv compcache_enabled no_compcache_enabled ? done..
16:24.56ajayNuttyBunny: how do you know that's what it's doing, and how long it takes?
16:25.09ajayhmm, maybe i need to keep my media partition lean then (for better performance)
16:25.25NuttyBunnyajay: yes, and disable it in govnah to activate the change immediately (compcache)
16:25.26ajayall these little things could be explanations of why my pre+ (in addtn to hw issues) performs so poor
16:25.40ajayoh it might be enabled in govnah? eek
16:26.41NuttyBunnyI looooove to mess with my devices' internals, and I've doing extensive research about backup and restore, and I often perform a fsck (chkdsk in windows world) on the media partition, and it takes a looong time... and, if you novaterm to your device you may find that it's running (fsck.vfat)
16:28.25NuttyBunnywhich reminds me... chuqui: Who should I contact to report a media bug, it's a new one that I hadn't read of, my "Video Roll" dissapeared, and all my recorded videos are being held in the "Loaded Videos" section. I can play them but I cannot edit them or share them anymore :'(

16:41.39NuttyBunnyIt takes about 30 secs to run fsck.vfat ... not too much, but when the device is booting and doing other things at the same time, it could slow things down

16:43.24RagingMindI might be getting another replacement... *sigh*

16:48.55ajayRagingMind: is that on a pre2? crap yet another thing that hopefully would have been fixed... maybe pre3..
16:49.20RagingMindI do need some graphite powder anyway, the lock on my car and the deadbolt to my apartment are kinda sticky
16:49.25ajayRagingMind: assuming "blarg" was to my suggestion, i say, hey! easier than getting a replacement :)
16:49.52RagingMindajay, this is a refurb pre+ that they gave me as a replacement to my original pre+ that crapped out
16:50.22ajayRagingMind: i'm not clear what point you are trying to convey to me..
16:50.33RagingMindblarg was directed into the ether... just my general frustration
16:50.35ajayRagingMind: Oh because it's a refurb so if it has issues better replace it quick before late?
16:50.41NuttyBunnyI wonder what -- if [ -n "$MEDIA_FIX" ]; then lunaprop -n com.palm.system -m -s $MEDIA_FIX_PROPERTY $MEDIA_FIX  -- does  in /etc/initd.d/mountall.sh   *sigh*
16:51.03RagingMindI'm already outside of my original warranty, but still in the 90 days for the refurb
16:51.04ajayoh because i said pre2, ok ignore last comment :)
16:51.22ajayRagingMind: you're on vz right?  I talked to someone that got verizon to replace his pre+ w/ a Pre2, fyi!
16:51.23RagingMindso I'm extra sensitive to hardware issues :)
16:51.32NuttyBunnyfound it, appears then fsck fixed something
16:51.36ajayi googled "carbon powder site:precentral.net" and found nothing
16:51.38RagingMindthe pre2 would be nice... but it's too ugly
16:51.42ajay??
16:51.50RagingMindI need the rounded front
16:51.56ajay??
16:52.08RagingMindand I'm so happy that the veer and pre3 have the rounded edges on the front again
16:52.13ajayto spin it?
16:52.15RagingMindthe pre2 just looked... ew
16:52.37NuttyBunnyRagingMind: I trade a Pre+ for your Pre2
16:52.52RagingMindand the vzw store up here doesn't have any pre2 in stock anymore, they had it with the "feature phones" for about a month
16:53.20ajayme too :)
16:53.39ajayRagingMind: he recommends never dealing with a store, it's all about getting the right person on phone tech support
16:53.49RagingMindand when I asked about it last week the rep instantly started trying to talk me out of a Pre of any kind for practically anything else
16:53.59RagingMindhe was very not nice to the platform
16:54.20ajayi've had that happen too.. they can't quite sell a phone they don't have in stock, right? but gotta sell something!

16:55.51ajayi mean, no additional steps

17:53.15ajaywell there is that doctor option to allow profile over wifi
17:53.18PatrickC_Pre2^^ awesome!! :)
17:53.46PatrickC_Pre2but if I do that, can I still use the cell radio to make calls/txt?
17:53.55ajayi don't see why not..
17:54.07ajayi feel like someone was saying this isn't true the other day, so don't quote me..
17:54.32ajayfor the former part, calls/txt should be no problem, umm, no problem :)
17:58.25ajaywhere in the metadoctor script are the tokens played with?
17:59.42ajayerr, in the 2.1 scripts i mean
18:00.02ajayi'm arguing with someone over whether i need to use one of the special scripts, but i don't think i need to.
18:01.31ajaygoing from att pre+ to pre2 or verizon pre+ to pre2 should require no magic
18:03.04PatrickC_Pre2comms board swap?
18:03.21ajayi mean, no software magic, only hardware (comm board swap) magic :)
18:03.41ajayit shouldn't require a redoctoring of the device, and it definitely shouldn't require a metadoctoring

20:53.11PatrickCI believe the airave likes to be first (modem, airave, router)
20:56.05RagingMindJack87, I've heard of that before, it made voice dial work and gave the person a SIM toolkit (they were on a cdma network so it was kinda useless)

21:04.08smknutsoncorrect
21:04.09PatrickCdid you erase backup data?
21:04.45PatrickCif you don't erase backup data, it won't let you log in on 1.4.5 with a 2.1 profile
21:04.52smknutsonI think so. I hit erase three times, I'm not sure now if it 'took'
21:05.13LoudergoodI thought you had to go back to 1.4.0
21:05.17smknutsonI even went in on my profile and removed the device
21:05.18PatrickCdid you turn off backups? (its been a while since I did it)

21:56.10NuttyBunnysmknutson1: Ok, your device is in 1.4 or 2.1?
21:57.10Jack87PatrickC, i think it was something like that sounds familiar
21:57.36PatrickCthat's how I got 1.4.5 sprint nav to install on 2.1 and actually run
21:57.45PatrickC(until the login screen)
21:57.56smknutson11.4.5 now, Nutty
21:58.29ajayPatrickC: until the login screen?  and then fail?
21:58.31rwhitbybbl - final leg back to home

21:58.50PatrickCcya rwhitby
21:58.54ajaybootsy
21:59.16NuttyBunnysmknutson: mmm... you have 3 options: make a 1.4.5 meta doctor with developer enabled, go to 2.1 and enable dev mode with ##DEVMODE#, or memboot with the installer image so you can enable developer mode on 1.4.5
21:59.19NuttyBunnycya rwhitby!
22:00.05PatrickCwhen I tried to login, it told me it couldn't start the service (or something like that)
22:00.25PatrickCI believe it uses java services, which are non-existing in 2.x iirc

22:05.48PatrickCwhat OS? 2.1/2.0.1/1.4.5?
22:08.32RobiPre2.1, sconix messaging
22:09.44PatrickCthat has a per account settings
22:10.01PatrickClike, for ring/silent/sound/vibrate iirc
22:10.25RobiPredefault is all silent?
22:10.47NuttyBunnyyou may had installed it when it was silent
22:11.24PatrickCI believe default is silent
22:11.29PatrickCsconix: ping? :)
22:11.55RobiPredont see setting for those defaults
22:13.51RobiPreall I have in tweaks is messaging system email & topbar
22:14.02NuttyBunnyno, no, not tweaks
22:14.13NuttyBunnygo to the messaging account, enter accounts and preferences
22:14.25NuttyBunnythere, on each account, you have a little bell icon, tap it

22:20.51RobiPreI dont see that. these are for SMS there is only the palm account
22:21.57sconixRobiPre: if you don't see the bell you don't have the framework patch installed which is needed by the messaging patch
22:22.39RobiPreisnt it a pre-req?
22:22.51sconixno
22:26.02NuttyBunnyisn't it? hahaha, I always thought it would be
22:26.10RobiPreI only have the green ones installed

22:27.50sconixSo you need the Adv. Sys. Prefs - Framework if you have the Messaging patch, then go to messaging app, preferences and tap the bell icons to set the notification settings
22:31.04RobiPrethat one is not green?
22:31.40sconixcan't remember, the green only means that the patch has tweaks and I don't think the prefs framework provides any
22:32.04sconixbut the messaging patch tells clearly that the framework is needed on the package description
22:32.18RobiPreok. might need to have this one as a pre req :P
22:32.26sconixits not a hard requirement since it would make updating the patches pita since preware does not support dependences on patches
22:33.04PatrickCit doesnt.. oh
22:33.08RobiPrehm ok. now of course this failed to install
22:33.44RobiPreso uninstall all yer patches, then reinstall after the framework one..right?
22:33.57sconixthere is "normal" and legacy version of the framework patch, you most likely need the normal one, but there are still installations that require the legacy
22:34.12sconixso maybe want to try to install both to see if neither does not install then you have some conflictin one
22:39.55RobiPreremoving the adv sys prefs*
22:40.38RobiPreadv sys menus should not interfere
22:41.00sconixno
22:41.10sconixand the order of adv prefs patches installation should not neither
22:41.13sconixthey should install in any order
22:43.16RobiPrekk
22:44.38RobiPregah bar assistant stillfailed
22:44.53RobiPrewhen installing just the framework
22:47.24RobiPreoh hm might have to disable some tweaks?
22:54.06sconixno
22:54.14sconixyou just have some other patch installed that conflicts
23:07.46RobiPrehmm

23:46.48sconixwell if you follow the wiki and do EPR and remove all patches and then start from mine and still they wont install then you have failed uninstallations of some paches and they have left modified code behind
23:47.44sconixso follow the recommended installation route in the prefs patches wiki
