of course that's *my* MAC for BT, WLAN etc ;-)
<wpwrak>
was. now it's everyone's. anonymity, at long last ! ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, not that I care about a stupid MAC
<DocScrutinizer05>
I don't even consider IMEI a particularly confidential info
<wpwrak>
i'm sure that, according to some law enforcement official, the west just has perished :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, sure. Now you can drive across europe in 50, meanders searching for my WLAN MAC to spot where I am :-P
<DocScrutinizer05>
50m*
<DocScrutinizer05>
with my IMEI you at least could try to put that on the blacklist, but they will ask your ID number and name, address, to do so
<wpwrak>
ah, we have yours, of course :)
<wpwrak>
except for the ID. but hey, people forget such things :)
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, good luck with finding the IMEI of *my* phone ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
of course you can try random IMEIs created by a generator. All N900 IMEI are somewhat similar
<DocScrutinizer05>
and while you're at it, go on with all Sony IMEIs, and BB
<DocScrutinizer05>
and even when you succeed to get my IMEI blacklisted, I got it unlocked faster than you did lock it
<wpwrak>
hmm yes, we would have to keep you from going outdoors. maybe bribe some local politician to introduce week where smoking in public places, including outdoors, is prohibited ? they should like that. show initiative. that would ground you for that week ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
unlike you I don't need to show my ID card to my service provider to get device unlocked, since they already seen it. I only need to authenticate to them with my password, and maybe tell them my ID card number again
<Oksana>
Unlock your cellular-phone IMEI by calling from landline phone? Or online, opening the relevant unlock-site through WiFi?
<DocScrutinizer05>
so I don't even need to leave home
<DocScrutinizer05>
Oksana: you forget I got a 60+ other cellphones here ;-P
<Oksana>
Heh... :-)
<DocScrutinizer05>
and of course I could also use landline and VoIP
<wpwrak>
damn !
<DocScrutinizer05>
and probably even FAX
<DocScrutinizer05>
maybe email, duh!
<Oksana>
Off-topic: How difficult is it to send a fax from a mobile phone? Photo-scan a document, then?..
<DocScrutinizer05>
FAX isn't supported anymore by most of modems
<DocScrutinizer05>
in former time iot been the third CSD service-ID besides voice and data
<DocScrutinizer05>
it*
<wpwrak>
i remember staring at it in my nokia 2110 manual, wondering "and what shall i do with you ... ?"
<DocScrutinizer05>
you however might be able to convert the picture to dunnowhat format and send it via a VoIP (or other similar) provider
<DocScrutinizer05>
my provider (sipgate.de) accepts pdf iirc
<DocScrutinizer05>
sending fax is no problem. *receiving* fax is tricky
<Pali>
have you seen parser for N810 BME CAL data?
<DocScrutinizer05>
rather bme, after "stop bme; start bme" shows massively too low charge level for a short time, then eventually adjusts its meter
<DocScrutinizer05>
indistry uses funny algorithms to make battery meter show what users expect it to show
<Pali>
ok, now I know what is stored in bme CAL section
<Pali>
calibration values for ADC channels
<DocScrutinizer05>
from iPhone I heard "damn, the battery meter shows 50% and yet I can operate the phone for several more hours" --> apple changed meter to show "full == 70% of battery capacity"
<DocScrutinizer05>
Pali: alas N900 bme doesn't use many ADC at all. Maybe battery voltage from GAIA, and that's pretty much calibrated by factory and needs no further calibration
<Pali>
and yes we really used some values from bme CAL for battery temperature
<DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, well the NTC in battery, called "BSI"
<Pali>
I remember that once I used some raw constants from bme CAL into some formula which I found in another driver, all measured values for battery temperature were correct
<DocScrutinizer05>
I wonder how bme wants to calibrate that. It has no normal to calibrate it against
<Pali>
it looks like some data are static
<Pali>
and some can be changed
<Pali>
there is Battery voltage 3 times in bme CAL
<Pali>
but with different flags
<DocScrutinizer05>
full, warning threshold, empty
<Pali>
does not bme write to CAL?
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's probably highly boring to learn what those values are meant for, if anything
<DocScrutinizer05>
yes
<Pali>
so some values in bme CAL are used for something...
<DocScrutinizer05>
what makes you think that? ;-)
<Pali>
rewriting data for battery percentage based from battery voltage?
<DocScrutinizer05>
"isn't bme writing to register #46 of the 5 registers in bq24150? So there must be hidden registers in bq24150" - I don't think so
<DocScrutinizer05>
bme is junk
<Pali>
:D
<Pali>
for Battery size indicator there is value C0 04
<Pali>
1216 mAh? :D
<Pali>
(in my CAL)
<DocScrutinizer05>
well, you tell me, after using your hex converter
<Pali>
0x04C0 = 1216
<DocScrutinizer05>
battery is 1320
<DocScrutinizer05>
iirc
<Pali>
no those first batteries were smaller
<DocScrutinizer05>
anyway, nobody knows what for we need BSI anyway
<Pali>
and I remeber that BME show me something about 1220
<DocScrutinizer05>
forget BME
<DocScrutinizer05>
it's dead
<Pali>
I know we do not need it
<Pali>
and now I know that in bme CAL is nothing interested...
<DocScrutinizer05>
:-)
<Pali>
only data for battery temperature
<Pali>
so only last 3 BME sections are unknown: cert-npc, cert-ccc, cert-hwc
