The issue was me not having a screen lock passcode defined.
Not sure if this is the best way to approach this, a settings page for editing user information (including name and root password) would be useful, that one could then opt out for the screenlock.
@R66F root, you'd probably need to use a custom waydroid gsi with SU binaries. from there just install one of the many root modules/frameworks that let you spoof app id's

Better UX maybe.
I left Android for the poor UX and I'm always disappointed by Google's product.
The privacy issues with Google is an important part, but for my usage I managed with changing account on each android phone and not syncing anything...
My main reason is the UX
@lakotaubp The problem occurs even after a reboot so the RAM is almost free.
Concerning the storage memory the phone was recently reset to defaults so "/userdata" is almost free too. The partitions "/android/system" and "/" are most used but it is the readonly partitions.
Returns of "free" and "df" commands here : https://bin.infini.fr/?b9534cc1de260140#B3TQy97u2GQB8hsC5YnHAbACfN7EvUbMzHD5NN3RaJpd
@yoni said in clock reset on reboot:
Phones don't have room for a CMOS battery,
Hadn't thought about that, but that makes a lot of sense. Yet another area where phones differ from laptop/desktops.
@nasyek hi, this is a very old thread. You might be better served opening a new thread, as your issue seems to be different to the OP's. (We can't really know for sure, as the OP never got back to this thread)
A good behaviour I try to follow is to never directly remove an app. First I use UTTT to clean cache, config and data folders. Then I remove the app. This prevent your system to cumulate old folders. If someone have more tips that would be great
@keneda Thanks for that. Since my last message I have another log for comparison from just a moment ago when Contacts opened normally. Unfortunately Pastebin is bombarding me with cookies and advertisements that are difficult to eliminate so I refuse to use it. I'll look for another way to present the logs.
@levone1 I'm almost sold on the idea. Surprisingly there are no secondhand models for sale on Ebay in the UK, and only two new from either Germany or China. I'll keep looking for secondhand.
@lsitongia Dev gets daily updates so you are well past OTA-20. As you suggest the OTA update is only a matter for the stable channel really. RC gets it as part of the weekly update schedule the week before. This is where the final testing is done.
I am considering this issue resolved. I did a full new clean install, overwriting data, using 8.9 installer. The installer errored 2 times but after selecting ignore it finished and everything so far looks like it is working as it should. The somewhat clean re-install seems to have resolved the issue.
Hi @emphrath
I think that's a known issue, but I didn't search for it.
I bet the fix should be on the Gallery app.
The Gallery app shall scan for new pictures when opened via the Content Hub instead of just when the app is launched.
That is a good issue to start with if someone is interested to give some love to the Gallery app.
