chaseadamflowy chartreuse I saw your old conversation about a spare set of JGNE (nearly a year), but do you happen to have a spare JGNE cell, I had one of mine reverse voltage.15:22
chaseadamanyone else have a spare JGNE or two (or a decent source for them)? All the linkes I have found are either dead or sold out (or only has qty 1 in stock with $20 shipping...).15:23
minutechaseadam: you can also use a different brand, as long as it is lifepo4 1865015:25
chaseadamminute: Thanks for the tip! I haven't had success finding 1800mAh lifepo4 18650s in stock other than a surprisingly small amount of aliexpress sellers. Anyone have a reputable seller to recommend?15:28
joschchaseadam: or, if you live around france: https://community.mnt.re/t/jgne-18650-1800mah-original-mnt-reform-battery-giveaway/1075/615:29
Boostisbetterthere are 2000 mAh lifepo4 from eremit. I have those. Gives you about 2 hours longer runtime.15:31
Boostisbetterfinding them though is proving difficult.15:33
chaseadamjosch: very generous! alas, I am on east of US15:33
chaseadamBoostisbetter: I share your difficulty...15:34
minutechaseadam: aliexpress should be fine15:35
Boostisbettergood old east coast. That is where I've lived most of my life. In Germany now.15:35
chaseadamwas hoping to find someone in similar situation as josch found (who hasn't shipped them (back?) across the pond yet), but even just a reliable source would be nice15:35
chaseadamminute: sounds good! I may purchase a bundle and help out as people run into a similar situation (though I hope it is decreasing in frequency as people switch to the new protection boards)15:37

Boostisbetterjosch: interesting, although the ones I got from eremit are brown and not purple. 19:37
joschBoostisbetter: yes, mine are brown too, but i replaced the sleeves with rainbow colored ones :)19:41
josch*were19:41
BoostisbetterNice! 19:41
BoostisbetterI left my brown. Kind of gave it a nice industrial look. 19:41
BoostisbetterAlthough I liked the original blue ones better. 19:42
joschBoostisbetter: https://community.mnt.re/t/finally-rainbow-battery-sleeves-and-another-3d-printed-side-panel/125419:42
joschyes, all blue also looked nice :)19:42
BoostisbetterAh yes I remember now. 19:44
BoostisbetterSo have you had many issues with your cellular radio? Does it work reliably? 19:45
joschBoostisbetter: no issues at all. I never lost signal.19:49
BoostisbetterCellular on the Librem 5 is just terrible. It disappears all the time. Anything but stable. 19:49
joschwell, the librem5 modem is a totally different model, totally different antenna and it's 5g. mine is just a cheap 4g lte modem :)19:50

- ajr (QUIT: Quit: WeeChat 3.8) (~ajr@user/ajr)19:58
Boostisbetterthat is true but at the end of the day just beign to have a reliable connection is all I are about. I would love a reliable cheap 4g lte solution with it as well. 19:58
kop316[m]<Boostisbetter> "Cellular on the Librem 5 is just..." <- To be fair, that isn't the modem itself that is the issue. The L5 tries to power down things to save battery, and USB hub it is attached to does a bunch of funky things when it is powered down. If you turn off the power saving module for that hub, the disappearences go away (but at the cost of battery life, of course).20:03
kop316[m]However, they have pretty recently been able to fix that issue20:03
+ XYZ (~XYZ@37-48-10-0.nat.epc.tmcz.cz)20:03
kop316[m]if you don't care about it being a portable cell phone, it's a lot simpler as well. The L5 wants to keep the modem on for e.g. Calls, SMS/MMS, but if you have the modem on, you are likely actively using it20:05
sevannot reform specific, but saw this mention of NXP i.MX8 at Embedded World earlier and thought it was interesting (I don't keep up with the world of arm) https://society.oftrolls.com/@arnd/11003383984429094720:08
sknebeliMX family is close to the default answer for anything industrial20:10

sknebel(I.e. at work I've seen it in cars, lifts, food processing machines, test equipment of various kinds, ... - still lots of imx6 because older designs, but imx8 now for anything new from the past 2-3 years)20:16

joschminute: no, i'm using the mini antenna that came with the usb dongle and is internal to the dongle -- i only removed the plastic casing to save space20:33
Boostisbetterkop316[m], could you tell me how to disable the power savings on the modem/hub20:35
BoostisbetterI just want a stable connection. 20:35
kop316[m]Boostisbetter: I would ask in the #community-librem-5:talk.puri.sm room. Personally, I just installed Mobian, but pmOS is also a good choice for it20:36
minutejosch: ok, gotcha20:41
Boostisbetter kop316[m] yeah that makes sense. Ugg, I need to find my matrix account credentials. I hate dealing with matrix. 20:42
kop316[m]Boostisbetter: Mobian and pmOS are bridged to IRC FYI20:43
BoostisbetterI saw that the maintainer of Mobian posted the power savings fix for Mobian there. I don't know why Purism hasn't just made the option available. 20:43
