Sony Xperia 10 (kirin)

Jhackler

so haven't tried it with a sim so far but everything seems to work well, minus the sd card. 64gb sd card tried fat 32 exfat and ext4. it sees the card exist in the external manager doesn't auto mount and format is greyed out.

@lakotaubp Hello. I have got problems with my cellular. After reboot cellular works pretty well, but after several hours it is like wheel of fortune if I can make a call or not. Sometimes it works, sometimes looses connection after a call (like linked here) and sometimes there is no network and I can't make any call. But my Sim card is still sign on the network, so it seems I am not unreachable although no one can reach my phone. Only reboot can help me.
I would like to ask where I can insert my syslog. Here? Or is it better to create a new thread? I copied some rows from syslog to another file when my phone lost connection to the network after a call. The file has over 1200 rows, because I don't know which rows are important.

@becherekmg You can use log viewer from the OpenStore to post logs and put a link here, but sorting your issue is above me.

@becherekmg what version do you have? I have I4113. If i remember i had the same problem, but that was once. I build system with latest OTA-16 and flashed. Im using as daily since 24.03.2021 and no problems. I tried to post screenshot but looks like gallery has no permissions, app armor blocks.

inserting sim and getting the binder setting configed so it knows to try and get a cellular network is bootlooping the phone lol

I have I4113, too. But my cellular is fooling around with me. I found out that ofono restart can help me. I have also tried sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_fix-end-call but my phone did not start after rebooting (display showed Sony logo only). I used your link to download artifacts.
As for permissions, I have similar problems. I can't preview photos in gallery app or share them with other apps, if I save them to device store (/home/phablet/Pictures/). But if I save them to sd card, there is no problem. I did not look for any solution because I am trying to solve my cellular problems most of all...

For interest's sake which version of Android 9 do you have? And what did you use for flash Android 9? Emma or Flashtool or newflasher?

Jhackler

@akikyo any clue what would cause adding a sim to have a hard lockup and reboot ?

Jhackler

@jhackler well I just donated lol can't wait till I can put a sim in without the ui locking up 15 seconds into boot and boot looping lol

Akikyo

@becherekmg Yes android 9, version 53.0.A.8.71 flashed by Emma.

Today, I found out that I have empty /android/persist folder. Could it bring about my problems with the cellular? Do I catch correctly, that /persist partition is responsible for sensors and carrier network etc on Android? And is it important to have some files in that folder for the same reason in Ubuntu touch? Other sensors works perfectly, I have no trouble with wi-fi adapter or data. But could be the clue missing files in that folder?

@becherekmg i have no "persist" folder in "/android" directory on my device.

@becherekmg have you tried the fix by goliath51?

AdLinux

@hengyedev I haven't been able to get updates to work on my phone, but I have just realised that I only temporarily had TWRP on the phone, I never fully installed it (I used the Lineage OS install guide in conjunction with your guide to install Ubuntu Touch: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kirin/install ) So, the phone doesn't have TWRP on it after I installed Ubuntu Touch (I assume it just has the stock recovery [if there even is one] still installed instead).

Should I properly flash TWRP to the phone? to ensure that the updates that the phone downloads actually install properly. As they seem to download new 'versions' but whenever I click 'Restart & Update' the updates don't get installed to the phone.

Jhackler

how often does the image builds get updated for this?

There haven't been any builds for quite a while now, I really hope that there are plans to make a new one soon as this would be great if it is at all possible as the current builds are getting a little bit old.

Are there plans to have a development roadmap for the Xperia 10? And are there any plans to have it added to the UBports installer?

Akikyo

Would be nice to see updates for this phone. I really like UT, maybe not so much gestures like on SFOS but still i feel UT much more open and have nice community. I dont understand why UT community dont focus on phones which already are supported by Jolla. This might increase potenial users! The reason i bought Xperia 10, is replacement for Iphone SE which is small, handy. Sony 21:9 ratio is perfect joice and quite nice hardware among rest devices! Second reason was support for stable SFOS and in development UT. For me the winner is UT!

I flashed once again UT and what is really missing for long term daily usage is:

sometimes morph browser crashes due to lack of memory
app armor blocks sharing images
no led notifications
no adb support
while connected to pc usb, no charge
sometimes shutdown restarts phone instead real shutdown
no andbox support
OTA updates

My question is, can i get some guidence to where look into to fix mentoined bugs? Im programmer, but the mobile phone architecture is something new, i would say the architecure is quite messy and hard to understand from where to start - logs, responsible services, debugin, permissions...

No need to post the same thing twice.
