Sellout.woot.com has and 5v 500mA 2.5Wh LiOn external re-charger battery for $10. Buy.com has a $12 8Gb Micro SD, but I'm trying to find out the speed class. |
| [01:36:01] |
<FiftyOneFifty> |
The recharger bat is a little smaller than the ZipIt |

Was that a serious comment, netbook. I know there have been some bad batches of notebook batteries. I didn't think the whole technology was faulty. Of course, for the price it must be a pretty cheap battery. |

Hey Adnyxo. I posted earlier that deal.woot.com has an external recharger battery that would be compatible if you made an adapter. How much room do you have in that DS case? |
| [09:12:57] |
<FiftyOneFifty> |
sellout.woot rather |
| [09:28:45] |
<Adnyxo> |
not too much if i use the original batery |
| [09:28:51] |
<Adnyxo> |
but ill check it out |
| [09:30:43] |
<Adnyxo> |
nice it says 20 hrs of extra battery |
| [09:33:05] |
<Adnyxo> |
so youre saying i could take the battery out of the thingy and make an adapter so it would be the main battery for the zipit? |
| [09:33:27] |
<Adnyxo> |
ill order one, it couldnt hurt at $5 |
| [09:38:06] |
<Adnyxo> |
FiftyOneFifty: i hope this works out http://zipit2system.sourceforge.net/?page_id=21 |
| [09:38:30] |
<Adnyxo> |
plus then i could put the camera and stuff inside the case and it would look nice |

but that GSM module seems like a lofty goal |
| [09:44:20] |
<rkdavis> |
morning all |
| [09:44:48] |
<aliosa27> |
is it true that now there is no subscription required |
| [09:45:15] |
<rkdavis> |
aliosa27: not for the first year afaik |
| [09:46:12] |
<rkdavis> |
they did change it again around last november |
| [09:46:22] |
<aliosa27> |
they have that little logo on there site that says it with some stars |
| [09:46:28] |
<aliosa27> |
i was just curious |
| [09:46:37] |
<aliosa27> |
buying another one to mess with |
| [09:46:38] |
<rkdavis> |
yup |
| [09:46:50] |
<Adnyxo> |
yea i got mine recently and got a year of free texting |
| [09:47:06] |
<rkdavis> |
i haven't bought one recently to check though |
| [09:47:13] |
<aliosa27> |
it was like 99 dollars before |
| [09:47:19] |
<aliosa27> |
a year i thought |
| [09:47:24] |
<aliosa27> |
looks like it is 29 now |
| [09:47:29] |
<rkdavis> |
yup |
| [09:47:34] |
<Adnyxo> |
i paid $50 |
| [09:47:40] |
<Adnyxo> |
but the price is goin down |
| [09:48:10] |
<rkdavis> |
i was also lucky when i got mine they used to do no subscription things every now and again and i hit it now its perminant |
| [09:48:49] |
<aliosa27> |
i wonder if we should just mod the current firmware for folks |
| [09:48:53] |
<aliosa27> |
add a few thins |
| [09:48:55] |
<aliosa27> |
gs |
| [09:49:04] |
<aliosa27> |
a subscription free mode |
| [09:49:05] |
<aliosa27> |
etc |
| [09:49:36] |
<Adnyxo> |
well at this point its almost just as easy to install jagsphs userland |
| [09:49:50] |
<Adnyxo> |
and its easy to use and configure |
| [09:50:05] |
<rkdavis> |
aliosa27: it would be nice but i'd check with zipit as depending on licenses etc. it could be iffy |
| [09:50:12] |
<aliosa27> |
yeh... |
| [09:50:34] |
<rkdavis> |
i know i can't preinstall chat, streaming music in ones i sell |
| [09:50:52] |
<Adnyxo> |
really? thats too bad |
| [09:51:02] |
<rkdavis> |
if users want to add it that's up to them |
| [09:51:10] |
<rkdavis> |
but i can't preinstall |
| [09:51:24] |
<rkdavis> |
they are pulling an apple :) |

Adnyxo: and unless they have an oem agreement they are breaking the law |
| [09:52:58] |

id bet they dont |
| [09:53:05] |
<rkdavis> |
but they might have by now |
| [09:53:13] |
<rkdavis> |
as zipit are aware of them |
| [09:54:22] |

although if they do then they got better tearms than me :( because i'm not allowed to sell preinstalled in the usa |

<FiftyOneFifty> |
Adnyxo: On the external battery. It's 5v, the internal battery is 3.7v, but the AC adapter produces 5v. It will fit in the pocket with the ZipIt. I'll make a minu USB to external power adapter converter plug (see the "Repair the AC adapter" link on the WiKi for Radio Shack part numbers). When the internal battery runs low, I should be able to give it a partial recharge from the booster, probably not as fast as from the AC. No, I would not use it a |
| [10:04:14] |
<FiftyOneFifty> |
replacement for the internal because you would have to wire it to the external charger port and charge it off a USB plug. |
| [10:05:32] |

marex has joined #zipit |

<FiftyOneFifty> |
If I can get the case apart with out destroying it, I'll get the specs of the Li-Ion, maybe its compatible to the internal, but you still wouldn't be able to use the ZipIt charger. |
| [10:08:14] |
<Adnyxo> |
well id actually be fine with using a usb charger |
| [10:08:22] |
<Adnyxo> |
so if its compatible to the internal |
| [10:11:17] |
<FiftyOneFifty> |
I also just realize if you carry a USB cable you could maybe charge on the fly computer USB->external bat->ZipIt. But then you could just carry the charger around :) |
| [10:12:06] |
<Adnyxo> |
lol |
| [10:12:32] |

The external bat does not come with a wall wort USB charger, but then I see them for $1 around |

Also ordered a car charger for an A600 phone (Buy.COM $3.50) which we have found to be compatible. If the harware hackers think it might be possible to rewire it for more amps, I'll crack it open too. |

it's the u-boot sweet built, I've tried lots of mmc inits no toshiba cards work all sandisk ones work. I think I'll have to dig deep into u-boot. |

you should own stock in sandisk |

Any way to determine speed class from other specs? Buy has 8Gb SanDisk cards for $12, but it doesn't list a speed class. |

btw, when i turn on the zipit with the "default install". all that comes up is a white screen. i also hear some sound. is this normal? |

so now i have to figure out wih films im going to go see. Im gong to the premire of kick ass though |

uh usualy trys to walk you through a setup process. |

but give it a bit to boot |

i can't even turn it off right now |

oh, great. the screen just started flickering. |

so like, how long should i wait for it to boot? |
| [12:55:48] |
<vod> |
it used to say "zipit" when it booted, but now it's stopped doing that |
| [12:57:51] |
<Mcavity> |
thats not a good sign |
| [12:58:02] |
<vod> |
now it started doing it again |
| [12:58:55] |
<vod> |
but i still only see the white screen, and i get a static noise from the speakers when i touch the keypad (don't actually press any keys) |
| [12:59:20] |
<Mcavity> |
sounds like a short someplace |
| [13:00:14] |
<vod> |
ordinarily, i would just open it. but i got it today, and it might be a better idea to just send it back and request a new one. but that would 'prolly take at least two weaks, since i'm in the eu. |
| [13:05:13] |
<vod> |
looks like they won't be able to notice that i've opened it up. time to do some debugging, yay |
| [13:05:36] |
<vod> |
might have to run down to the uni and bring out the oscilloscope |
| [13:07:39] |
<FiftyOneFifty> |
mcavity: Thanks for letting me know I had the model wrong. They look the same, but SKU's are different, so I put in a request to cancel the order. Buy has a more expensive "heavy duty" charger for the A660, if I can re-order I'll get it. |
| [13:11:59] |
<FiftyOneFifty> |
Back in the PM |

Mcavity, which charger on buy.com would you be referring to? |
| [13:17:03] |
<Mcavity> |
well i have a car charger for a samsung a660 |
| [13:17:12] |
<Mcavity> |
that fits the zipit and seems to work |
| [13:17:41] |
<Mcavity> |
sorry im slow.. but its time fore bed. |

<Adnyxo> |
ah thanks |
| [13:27:58] |
<vod> |
is there a guide to opening the zipit? can't figure out what to do after removing the screws in the battery compartment |
| [13:28:07] |
<Adnyxo> |
just pry it apart |
| [13:28:10] |
<Adnyxo> |
thats what i did |
| [13:28:19] |
<Adnyxo> |
theres a seam around the edge of the case |
| [13:28:40] |
<vod> |
did you pull on the metal inside or the plastic around the case? |
| [13:28:55] |
*** |
ogmious09 has quit IRC |

<Adnyxo> |
around the case |
| [13:29:58] |
<Adnyxo> |
the plastic around the outside of the case |
| [13:32:10] |
<vod> |
it feels like there's something holding it down on the side that is faced towards you |
| [13:32:20] |
<Adnyxo> |
on the inside there are little clips |
| [13:32:31] |
<Adnyxo> |
you have to pry sideways then down |
| [13:33:36] |
<Adnyxo> |
i dont remember which way the clips face |
| [13:33:59] |
<Adnyxo> |
just proceed carefully and try not to snap anything off :-) |
| [13:34:10] |
<Adnyxo> |
be patient and youll find the clips |
| [13:35:11] |
<vod> |
ok, got it open =) |
| [13:40:19] |
<Adnyxo> |
great |
| [13:43:00] |
<vod> |
what are the small pushbuttons on the sides for? |
| [13:43:10] |
<vod> |
nm |
| [13:43:13] |
<vod> |
figured it out |
| [13:44:14] |
<vod> |
hell, yeah! it works now |
| [13:44:34] |
<vod> |
well, at least i can see the zipit logo on the screen |
| [13:44:57] |
<vod> |
nothing else has really happened, so i guess i can't claim that it works. i'll give it some time though |
| [13:45:52] |
<vod> |
how long is the default boot supposed to be? |
| [13:46:43] |
<Adnyxo> |
idk |
| [13:47:34] |
<vod> |
btw are the cables that go to the screen "removable" or are their sodered? |
| [13:48:44] |
<Adnyxo> |
i would like to find that out |
| [13:48:50] |
<Adnyxo> |
:-) |
| [13:48:55] |
<Adnyxo> |
for my case mod |
| [13:49:22] |
<vod> |
i think the problem for me seems to be the connection between the screen and the motherboard |
| [13:50:30] |
<vod> |
how does one open the screen part of the case? :S |
| [13:53:11] |
<Adnyxo> |
i stopped at the mobo |
| [13:53:23] |
<Adnyxo> |
but ill have to take out the screen soon |
| [14:00:12] |
<vod> |
omg, it actually started like it should this time |
| [14:00:21] |
<vod> |
let's hope it works when i put it back together |
| [14:02:51] |
<vod> |
and... |
| [14:02:55] |
<vod> |
of course it doesn't |
| [14:03:05] |
<Adnyxo> |
sorry about that |
| [14:10:37] |

| [14:13:18] |
<vod> |
ok, open |
| [14:20:28] |
<vod> |
now the screens stopped turning on entirely |
| [14:20:37] |
<Adnyxo> |
whatd you do? |
| [14:20:56] |
<vod> |
if only i could figure out how to open the top part of the enclosure and access the screen |
| [14:21:16] |
<vod> |
Adnyxo nothing really. i think it's a poor contact. just a second ago the device actually worked |
| [14:21:24] |
<Adnyxo> |
oh ok |
| [14:24:14] |
<vod> |
now the screen turned on, but it's only the white screen of death :S |

<Adnyxo> |
what? |
| [14:38:17] |
<vod> |
nevermind |
| [14:38:28] |
<vod> |
i just gave up, put it back together and it started working |
| [14:38:51] |
<vod> |
and then i was like "there is a god!" and started typing here, when suddenly it hanged and dots popped up on the screen |
| [14:39:39] |
<vod> |
well, at least i can see the loading and charging screen now |
| [14:39:46] |
<vod> |
hmm, it MIGHT be working this time |
| [14:39:56] |
<vod> |
the charging animation seems to work |
| [14:40:41] |
<Adnyxo> |
thats good |
| [14:40:55] |
<vod> |
yeah, it's working now. the only question is for how long. |
| [14:41:13] |
<Adnyxo> |
you may be able to flash it now |
| [14:42:25] |
<vod> |
well, almost |
| [14:42:42] |
<vod> |
i bought the wrong kind of SD-card today, and it's like 9 pm |
| [14:43:03] |
<Adnyxo> |
micron not mini |
| [14:43:06] |
<Adnyxo> |
? |
| [14:43:44] |
<vod> |
i thought it was sdhc |
| [14:43:51] |
<Adnyxo> |
mini sd |
| [14:43:58] |
<Adnyxo> |
or micro sd in a mini sd slot |
| [14:46:42] |
<vod> |
i think the flashing should work. i'm just unsure of how the zipit is going to react to vibrations, wheather the screen is going to stop working again |
| [14:50:51] |
<vod> |
stopped working again after i pressed a few keys :S |
| [14:50:53] |

dTal has joined #zipit |

| [14:51:31] |
<vod> |
yeah, as soon as i press the keyboard it crashes |
| [14:51:46] |
<Adnyxo> |
so return it |
| [14:52:12] |
<vod> |
it's going to take like two weeks :S |
| [14:52:18] |
<vod> |
at least |
| [14:52:24] |
<vod> |
more like four |
| [14:52:36] |
<Adnyxo> |
sorry bout that |
| [14:54:20] |
<vod> |
oh |
| [14:54:31] |
<vod> |
looks like i forgot the three screws. if i put them in, it might work |
| [14:55:59] |
<Adnyxo> |
lol |
| [14:56:19] |
<vod> |
yay! doesn't crash when i press a button :D |
| [14:57:22] |
<vod> |

| [14:57:51] |
<vod> |
booted up normall, then crashed |
| [14:59:32] |
<vod> |
doesn't work again |
| [15:01:05] |
<vod> |
seems to work without the battery |
| [15:08:26] |
<Adnyxo> |

| [15:10:38] |
<vod> |

| [15:10:48] |
<vod> |

well you can get a replacement battery |

it doesn't work at all anymore. i'll ask for a refund. |
| [15:35:19] |
<vod> |
it's a shame that i won't be able to get the toll fee (about $25) back, though |
| [15:39:06] |
<muriani> |
Adnyxo: I use mplayer, I hear cmus works too |
| [15:39:27] |
<muriani> |
I think you need to feed it the .pls/.m3u files for the streams though, it doesn't have a browser for it |
| [15:48:30] |
<dTal> |
if you have the .pls mpg123 will work just fine for mp3 streams |
| [15:48:47] |
<dTal> |
and it's very lightweight, almost not notice the load |
