Kilos | morning superfly and others | 06:32 |
Kilos | hi jrgns fones dont swim | 06:34 |
Kilos | hi Vince-0 got some research for you | 06:34 |
jrgns | hi Kilos :) damn, wish I knew that before I threw mine in the pool! | 06:34 |
Kilos | lol what have you done with it | 06:34 |
jrgns | it's bonding with some rice | 06:35 |
Kilos | can help you try fix it | 06:35 |
jrgns | thnx | 06:35 |
jrgns | i suspect the plastic cover I had prevented too much water coming in | 06:35 |
Kilos | did you try turn it on | 06:35 |
jrgns | so I'm letting it dry out in the rice for a couple of days, and then assess the damage | 06:35 |
jrgns | yes, once, to make some urgent calls. the screen was working, but a bit eratic | 06:36 |
jrgns | the rest seems fine. | 06:36 |
Kilos | eek | 06:36 |
jrgns | in the mean time i've resurrected my htc desire | 06:36 |
Kilos | first thing with wet fone is remove battery. moisture causes short circuits on the pc board | 06:36 |
jrgns | yeah, did that. only turned it on after a couple of hours in the rice | 06:37 |
Kilos | anyway you might be lucky | 06:37 |
jrgns | i'm hoping to be, thanx | 06:37 |
Kilos | ok then you gotta open the covers and you will see where moisture has got to on the board | 06:37 |
Kilos | if you seriously want to save it get to an electronics shop and buy some servisol or spanjaardt lubricating switch cleaner | 06:39 |
Kilos | then strip the fone so you get to all sides of circuitry and plugin holes | 06:39 |
Kilos | spray with cleaner everywhere except on glass and stand upright for excess to drip off | 06:40 |
Kilos | even put in sun for coupla hours then you can reassemble and use again | 06:41 |
Kilos | rice is food | 06:41 |
Kilos | good luck | 06:41 |
Kilos | you gotta do it quick before the fone grows gills and fins | 06:42 |
Kilos | jrgns: ^^ | 06:44 |
Kilos | it should be perfect after that | 06:45 |
jrgns | lol | 06:47 |
jrgns | thanx for the advice | 06:47 |
Kilos | yw | 06:50 |

inetpro | jrgns: I hope your phone will be ok | 08:29 |
jrgns | thanx | 08:29 |
Kilos | the important thing is always remove battery asap and strip to dry. amazing how quick water starts the corrosion on pc board and sockets | 08:30 |
Kilos | inetpro: when loafing look at http://telkommobile.mobi/about-us/ | 08:31 |
Kilos | i got there from the link in the sms | 08:31 |
inetpro | Kilos: no such wifi at my place | 08:32 |
inetpro | the only wifi I can see at home is my own | 08:32 |
Kilos | ya thats where money comes in | 08:33 |
Kilos | with the equipment from ptawug guys you will reach the towers on that side im sure | 08:33 |
Kilos | but R1700 is eina' | 08:34 |

Trixar_za | Interesting | 10:16 |
Trixar_za | Kilos: I figured out why the newer devices doesn't work Sakis3g | 10:16 |
Trixar_za | They lack DefaultVendor, DefaultProduct and CheckSuccess | 10:16 |
Trixar_za | Why they are important still escapes me since the database building script ignores them | 10:16 |
Kilos | well done Trixar_za what is it? | 10:23 |
Kilos | oh ok | 10:23 |
Kilos | weird hey | 10:23 |
Kilos | would be so much easier if on could just use gparted and make the usb storage in the modems not be seen | 10:24 |
Kilos | even be able to delete that partition would be good | 10:24 |
Kilos | or format it to some fs that nothing use | 10:27 |
Kilos | uses | 10:27 |
=== Trixar_za is now known as Trix[a]r_za | ||
Kilos | did you miss that Trix[a]r_za ? | 10:29 |
Kilos | Vince-0: you can read up on how to check if there is line of site there too | 10:42 |
Kilos | http://ptawug.co.za/site/gettingstarted/ | 10:43 |
Vince-0 | yep | 10:50 |
Vince-0 | checked out growing the durban WUG more up the north side but I live in a valley, no LOS | 10:51 |
Kilos | aw | 10:58 |
Kilos | same here mountains both sides of where they seem to have hotspots | 10:59 |
Kilos | hi theblazehen | 11:37 |
Vince-0 | anyone listen to this ZA tech show? | 11:38 |
theblazehen | hi kilos | 11:39 |
inetpro | Vince-0: I have listened to it from time to time | 11:48 |
inetpro | if there was more time I'd listen more regularly | 11:49 |
Vince-0 | last one was 7 days ago, | 11:50 |
Vince-0 | My review: meh | 11:51 |
Symmetria | SEACOM can confirm that at 06:20 GMT 27 March, the SMW4 cable system suffered a cable cut off the coast of Egypt. Earlier this morning, SEACOM had restored all services on both SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems. | 11:51 |
inetpro | Symmetria: eish! | 11:52 |
inetpro | vandalism? | 11:53 |
Symmetria | inetpro *IF* any of this is deliberate, which I doubt, then its not vandalism, its terrorism | 11:53 |
Symmetria | you cant just vandalize a cable like this, you would need significant resources to deliberately take out a cable (where as accidents do happen) | 11:54 |
inetpro | right | 11:54 |
Vince-0 | suux | 11:55 |
Vince-0 | I switched to Openweb/IS and my international games are good again | 11:55 |
inetpro | Kilos: how's tara? | 11:56 |
Kilos | havent heard yet inetpro | 11:57 |
Kilos | ty for the info Symmetria | 11:58 |
=== Trix[a]r_za is now known as Trixar_za | ||
Trixar_za | Kilos: Been re-building the files that are different or got updated | 13:11 |
Trixar_za | I may have missed one or two. Still got 57 files to go | 13:12 |
Trixar_za | :/ | 13:12 |
Kilos | whe | 13:12 |
Kilos | whew too | 13:12 |
Trixar_za | http://pastebin.ca/2343434 | 13:14 |
Trixar_za | When I'm done, that should be the list of supported devices | 13:14 |
Trixar_za | Although I still need people to compile the binary version for 64bit and ARM systems | 13:14 |
Trixar_za | Oh well :P | 13:14 |
Kilos | sjoe | 13:16 |
* Trixar_za gets lazy | 14:52 | |
Trixar_za | Still 27 files to go | 14:52 |
Trixar_za | I've done 40 of them already | 14:52 |
zeref | I'm starting to learn about wicket (java web framework) anybody have experience with it. | 14:59 |
Kilos | whew Vince-0 that wireless is major work | 15:30 |
Kilos | easier to make buddies with 8ta | 15:30 |
Vince-0 | hi! yes indeed. | 15:30 |
Vince-0 | I can do it with some cheap ubiquity equipment | 15:30 |
Kilos | lol did you read what all is involved | 15:30 |
Kilos | wow | 15:30 |
Kilos | special router and radio and what not | 15:31 |
Vince-0 | yep - will do a site test next time I'm there | 15:31 |
Vince-0 | there are a few providers that use it but businesses should really know better | 15:31 |
Vince-0 | and use licensed spectrum | 15:31 |
Trixar_za | Come on me, don't be lazy. Only 8 more to go... | 15:36 |
Squirm | hello | 15:40 |
inetpro | Trixar_za: what are you doing? | 15:47 |
Trixar_za | Rebuilding the 67 changed files from the usb-modeswitch-database so it can work with sakis3g | 15:48 |
Trixar_za | Giving us a grand total of 273 devices | 15:49 |
Trixar_za | :P | 15:49 |
Kilos | energetic fella | 15:52 |
inetpro | Trixar_za: and will that feed back into the ubuntu repositories? | 15:52 |
inetpro | Kilos: is your device listed? | 15:53 |
Kilos | well kde sees it as tct mobile | 15:54 |
Trixar_za | Probably not. It works perfectly fine with usb-modeswitch, but sakis3g's internal stuff required a bit more if the binary and database was included with (and compressed within) it. | 15:54 |
Kilos | its an older alcatel | 15:54 |
Trixar_za | So I just used the last database that worked well (before the change over to the new, more concise variables) | 15:54 |
Trixar_za | and then expanded the newer files to have the same format as the older database | 15:55 |
Trixar_za | So the newer files should work with Sakis3g now | 15:55 |
inetpro | Trixar_za: who are you doing this for? | 15:56 |
inetpro | just for yourself? | 15:56 |
Trixar_za | Myself mostly since sakis3g is pretty dead. There are a handful of people that use my copy like Kilos and the SliTaz Linux people that use my sakis3g package. | 15:57 |
Kilos | and kbmonkey | 15:57 |
inetpro | from PPA? | 15:57 |
Kilos | peeps who have probs with nm | 15:57 |
Trixar_za | The usb_modeswitch don't really care and I'm not sure the others like ArchLinux would care :P | 15:58 |
Trixar_za | usb_modeswitch people* | 15:59 |
inetpro | hmm... | 16:01 |
inetpro | Trixar_za: well done anyway | 16:01 |
inetpro | perhaps you should write up a blog and tell us how you're doing it | 16:01 |
* Kilos seconds that | 16:01 | |
Trixar_za | Probably | 16:04 |
Trixar_za | :P | 16:04 |
Trixar_za | Seems there is support for some LTE modems too | 16:06 |
Trixar_za | Which is nice | 16:06 |
