00:55.24andrew__i went ahead and swapped the boards but it says that the doctor I built following the webosinternals guide isn't compatible with the phone connected
00:55.41ShawnSnyderguys what do i do this step with? "Finally, we need to edit the file. Use vi to open /usr/palm/applications/com.handson.app.nfl/appinfo.json"
00:56.31andrew__shawn you
00:56.49ShawnSnyder?
00:56.49andrew__might want to refrence what you are trying to do as far as "step # what in what process"

00:59.27andrew__do you have vi installed?
00:59.38HaDAkyou rang?
00:59.48ShawnSnyderwhat vi?
00:59.49ShawnSnyderwhats*
00:59.55HaDAka text editor
01:00.14ShawnSnyderfrom? web or phone catalog?
01:00.33andrew__for your computer
01:00.42HaDAkit's installed on your phone. use the cli.
01:01.16ShawnSnyderthe wut. god i feel so stupid

01:04.04HaDAktry again
01:04.17HaDAkalso, my article is out of date, depending on what device you're working on.
01:04.25ShawnSnyderPalm Pixi Plus
01:04.28HaDAkif it's the touchpad, you'll need to look in /media/cryptofs
01:04.32HaDAki don't know about a pixi. i don't own one.
01:05.00andrew__wouldn't it just be easier to use novaterm to execute commands on the device?
01:05.31HaDAkthat's the way i set it up
01:06.04andrew__shawn i would recommend reading this: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Accessing_Linux_Using_Novaterm

01:08.45ajgunsok...
01:11.25ShawnSnyderGOT IT. thanks guys! very helpful
01:13.11ShawnSnyderis there a file manager to view files as root on my PC from within the phone. like view root pre files on my PC
01:17.19HaDAkno
01:17.40HaDAkalthough, technically you could install an ssh server and use winscp
01:25.37ShawnSnyderhttp://i.imgur.com/FIJc4.png it wont let me edit it now. cant type

01:28.11ShawnSnyderi hit i and it wont go down stays at the top
01:28.41andrew__in vi you need to hit : to enter edit mode
01:28.56ShawnSnyder:i?
01:29.20andrew__http://www.cs.rit.edu/~cslab/vi.html
01:29.26andrew__just :
02:27.39rwhitbyandrew__: yes, it is possible to metadoctor a sprint franken pre2 to an at&t pre2 (by switching out the comm board with a att pre+)
02:28.12rwhitbybut you will need to do some manual token manipulations to do so - I don't think there is a prewritten script for that scenario.
02:35.42andrew__update:
02:36.08andrew__i couldn't get it to run so I manually hard reset by doing power sym and orange
02:36.27andrew__and the AT&T sim card worked without metadoctoring
02:37.10andrew__it still is running the previous sprint franken pre2 metadoctor according to version number and is updating to 2.24 now
02:37.22andrew__3G and Phone/SMS are working

15:32.03madnificenti notice that all webos devices i have consume *a lot* of energy when they're not certain which network they should connect to for data transfer.  being 2G, 3G or wifi.  if anyone wants to make a cool difference, it would be nice if the device wouldn't constantly try to discover what networks are out there, but only periodically do it (and perhaps when the device is turned on, dunno)

15:42.34ka6soxmadnificent, that isn't a webOS characteristic..its the same for ALL devices it seems.
16:03.26madnificentka6sox: we should be able to change it, i believe.  and i have the feeling that Android devices are less susceptible to the problem
16:03.45madnificentthe word feeling is important in that sentence though
16:04.50madnificentit seems, at least in the GSM region, that places where the phone needs to switch between 2G and 3G consume a lot of power, same goes for wifi on/off.  whilst it's quite ok if you only enable 2G and turn off wifi
16:05.26ka6soxhow would you propose we do this?
16:06.31madnificentyou can disable wifi and disable 3g.  so i'd say that if it is connected to either system, all others are turned off for a (possibly configurable) amount of time (defaulting to a minute, or possibly a tad more)
16:11.55*** join/#webos-internals beezle-bug (~BUG@91-64-49-26-dynip.superkabel.de)
16:18.57ka6soxfor existing webOS (3.0.5) we have no sources for this...
16:19.19madnificentmode-switcher can access te settings
16:19.30ka6soxI've not seen any indication of how we are going to support this at all (phone, wifi, bt control)
16:19.34madnificentso we should be able to access it, no?  though that's not 3.0.5
16:19.52ka6soxfor OW
16:20.56ka6soxmadnificent, a writeup on how to do this with modeswitcher or even a mod to modeswitcher would probably be accepted too :D
16:20.59madnificenti don't know what we can access there, i have no clue how close we are to running that on an actual phone which can call and all that, so i also don't have a clue how useful it'd be
16:22.05madnificenti don't think it's 'right' to solve it with mode-switcher.  and i think mode-switcher lacks the primitive to try something every once in a while (which should be the simple part)
16:22.53ka6soxwith OW its a clean slate...you can write an app that would implement this correctly :D
16:23.29madnificentka6sox: i take my words back, mode-switcher can discover that a wifi network was found, not 2G/3G (but i'm certain we can check which mode we're using as it's shown in the upper-right corner)
16:24.09madnificentdoesn't work on systems he can't access (if/when OW runs on something i own, chances are i'll look into it further)
16:24.14madnificentmy question wasn't geared towards OW
16:24.33ka6soxok
16:25.01madnificent(not trying to be a bitch about it, even though it sounds a tad harsh)
16:27.43ka6soxI wish you luck on getting this solved...

16:31.09bert0xares
16:31.36madnificentka6sox: o wait, no.  you got me wrong.  it was something i considered to be an interesting feature to have.  something that, when someone came along and saw the opportunity because they were working on the same code-base), could be interested in taking up. :)
16:31.47madnificentka6sox: it's not something that's ruining my personal life or anything :)
16:32.25madnificentbert0x: i think #webos may be better suited to answer it.  i don't really know anything about ares.
16:32.27ka6soxI see...so this is "something someone could fix...if they happen to want to"?
16:32.35madnificentka6sox: check!
