Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners
-
Can someone please test 4G/LTE speed? I got the impression its 3G only, even if it show higher speeds. Is it only me? Thx!

@Flohack 21 ms ping, 17.96 MBPS down
-
@Flohack indeed I replaced the battery quite a while ago. However, my comparison was to just a day ago when I still had android on the device. In any case, it might just be my bias since I am now staring at the phone all the time :P.
Regarding LTE, speedtest.net is giving me very different results in various tries. I got most consistently around 10-20 Mbps average download speed. On a few attempts however I got as much as ~40 Mbps (does it make sense?) or as low as 1-3 Mbps.
-
@Flohack I'm trying to hack my way into the device to figure out how to get an audio stream for the calls. Could you point me in the right direction with how telephony and audio work?
It seems that the phone uses ofono for calls and pulseaudio for audio, but getting them to play together hasn't been at all fruitful.
just screw it.
-
@Flohack Wildly varying speeds as high as 16mb/s. long ping latency 48-162ms !
Avg of 1.5mb/sec
Same service on android phone next to it - solid 20-30Mb/s
-
@user Hmm its very complicated, I cannot really tell you how it works, only a few people really understand it, and it involves a whole stack of tools, mostly pulseaudio and a bunch of modules, ofonod, telepathy-ofono as a kind of mediator and hell whatelse. If it would be just a few config values, it would already work ^^
On the Android side it might involve mixer_paths.xml having wrong data, then we needed to install audioflingerglue which emulates the missing audioflinger, etc. Best is you ask in Porting group @NotKit, @peat_psuwit or @fredldotme

Ok LTE seems somehow at least fine. Maybe is just my provider...
Another story, can you please check dmesg if you get smth like this every few seconds:

-
@Flohack I do
-
@Flohack Not exactly all the same numbers, but the same faults over and over, yes.
-
@Flohack Thank you very much, yeah It seems a lot more complicated than I initially bargained for, but I don't mind taking a deep dive into the guts of the system. I haven't got much else better to do
I'll let you know if I make any headway
-
@Flohack I do not actually have this issue, but I haven't tested my music app yet so that may be why
-
@Flohack I too have a nexus 6p (angler) that I can test with. nyk
-
@rocket2nfinity Thats bad, it started to happen when I switched to 64 bit I think. This error will prevent media playback and also will drain the battery
We need to take a look. -
Seems I got Bluetooth already fixed again but it needs a new system.img - also, the torchlight should be all good. In case you want to test this, you can do:
- sudo -i
- mount / -o remount,rw
- sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /var/cache/apt/archives
- ubports-qa install xenial_-_fix-latched-flash
- reboot
That will install a test build of the power indicator, and that enables hopefully the torch. Please tell me if you think its too bright ^^

@Flohack The light is strong enough but I compared it with my N5 and the light on the N6P is more yellow. I think that they have the same lumen but because of the yellow light, it feels more dim.
-
@Rondarius Yeah saw that too. I am not sure I can affect this though
But at least we got something 
-
@Flohack Absolutly great work
-
@Flohack Works perfectly!
-
@Flohack I also note the yellow tint, and the flashlight is actually weaker than the flash using the camera. But it works, and solves the lockup that happens when taking a flash picture. So two fixes with one patch. Wonderful!
-
@rocket2nfinity It must be weaker: Otherwise the LED will burn to the ground. The current is so strong that the LED can only sustain brief amounts of it without overheating. Now when you turn on the torch you might leave it on for minutes - Still I would not recommend this.
Some people in the community destroyed their LEDs during playing around with it. Its not easy ^^
