| Evil_Bob | is there an open phone that can run postmarketOS / sxmo and is usable on a daily basis (reliable calls/modem, SMS and battery life) ? | 14:10 |
|---|---|---|
| Wizzup | no, but there is one that can run maemo leste and give you all of that :) | 14:11 |
| Wizzup | well, I guess it depends on what 'open phone' means | 14:11 |
| Evil_Bob | ah nice, which one would you recommend? with open phone i mean customizable software, i dont expect 100% open firmware etc (i know how hard it is to get that) | 14:11 |
| Evil_Bob | and with battery life i mean approximately 2 days of battery life | 14:12 |
| Wizzup | the motorola droid 4 gives me this, but I have a modified/new(er) battery | 14:13 |
| Wizzup | I get 2+ days of battery life with the phone in my pocket / connected to network | 14:13 |
| Evil_Bob | neat, i have a droid4 (thanks to donation by parazyd), but unfortunately the battery died | 14:15 |
| Wizzup | how good are you with hw/soldering? | 14:15 |
| Evil_Bob | i looked at the pinephone and pinephone pro status, but looking at the table it seems unreliable (modem and battery issues) | 14:15 |
| Evil_Bob | i can do basic soldering now | 14:16 |
| Wizzup | basically with some modifications (not that easy to do, I failed twice) you can take the charging circuit from your old droid battery and hook it up to this one https://www.polarcell.de/en/mobile-phone-batteries/lg/others-polarcell-li-polymer-replacement-battery-for-lg-google-nexus-4-e960.html | 14:16 |
| Evil_Bob | very nice its fixable that way, but if you failed twice i wouldnt trust i can do it heh :D | 14:17 |
| Wizzup | no, but someone from say a hackerspace could help you | 14:17 |
| Wizzup | I'm also genuinely really bad at these things :) | 14:17 |
| Wizzup | you can also get a used eb41 battery but it likely won't give 2 days | 14:20 |
| Evil_Bob | ah | 14:25 |
| Wizzup | mostly because you can't find actual new ones | 14:28 |
| Wizzup | I asked polarcell if they would make these but they said only if we order 1000 :) | 14:28 |
| Wizzup | in any case, that's just my take | 14:28 |
| Wizzup | others might have other ideas/opinions | 14:28 |
| Wizzup | (I spend most of my non working waking hours on leste, so I am also biased ;) ) | 14:30 |
| Evil_Bob | hah of course :) | 14:34 |
| joerg | congratulations Taiwan! <3 | 19:29 |
