Halium 7.1 Test Channel
-
I updated my previous post and removed the issues I had before.
I suspect the issues to be caused by the Android 9 version, which was installed before UT. -
Installed on my fp2 via halium-dev channel. Worked. At first sight everything exept camera seems working. But faster.
[edit 1: if i switch off rotation lock, then screen stays locked. In my case in portrait modus. But after a couple of restarts it works again. After update 33 it happens again]
[edit 2: after restart UT didn't ask for password of first SIM-card, but only for the second. The first SIM also stayed invisible in the menus. After the 4th restart it worked again.]
[edit 3: If I push the on-button while the machine is offline charging, the charging percentage is displayed in green nerdy fontface text (charging ??-100%" if i remember well) instead of the battery image.]
[edit 4: the phone does not turn on when pushing power button while charging.]
[edit 5: image during update differs from before]

@Flohack i am already in version 55, where can i follow the progress?
Is OTA 17 also included?
Something weird: i cannot power on the phone when charging. First, i have to pull the charger out.

https://github.com/WeAreFairphone/modem_zip_generator/releases
19.02.1
The new aboot firmware included in this release fixes a longstanding bug (FP#26) that made impossible to power on the device while it's charging. -
@tommiedom yes the build here always follows the devel channel, so you got OTA-17 already. Sorry to say but there is no separate tracking of progress.
I have currently limited time and only can work now and then. When I fix something I will announce here probably
-
@flohack no prob, your work has a widespread collateral use anyway
-
@s3r0 check

@Flohack thank you for this ! I saw that subject a long time ago and I'm happy to see it close to solved
@luksus I tested it with the latest Fairphone Open OS build (Android 7.1). Everything is faster than before, but camera does not work for me, the screen stays black - I'll have to test with Fairphone OS to see if there is any difference but there shouldn't if the modem files are the same, no ?
Torchlight doesn't work, be it with uTorch or from indicator. -
Hi! Finally got the time to test the halium channel. Not sure of what version of Android my FP2 is based on. If you tell me how to find the information I will share it with you
What I noticed:
--> automatic brightness is not as good as with stable channel. At night it is too bright so I manually put the brightness to the lowest value from the battery indicator.
--> recents calls are not always displayed on the list in the call application.
--> sms sent are not displayed in the sms app. Neither sms received. I can only read them in the notifications!
--> camera and flash are not working
--> default browser seems to be onion browser and not morph. At least when clicking on a link from teleports.
--> SIM code is not asked when turning off plane mode as it was in the past if I remember well (bug or feature?)I hope that could help. I will go back to stable now as I need the camera feature. Or maybe I need to switch to another Android base?
Anyway thanks for the good job!

@redxxiii said in Halium 7.1 Test Channel:
SIM code is not asked when turning off plane mode as it was in the past if I remember well (bug or feature?)
I don't have to enter sim pin on MX4 when leaving plane mode an i don't remember having to do this since 2015.
-
@keneda interesting! I have to with my FP2 (stable channel) when leaving plane mode. It is not the case with halium channel. I think with my BQ E5 I did not have to but not sure I remember well.
-
@redxxiii It's sth to do with the FP2. It's probably a companion bug to the whole plane mode permanently deactivates data thing. I'd be curious to see if halium 7 fixes that bug btw... Anybody willing to try and activate flight mode and see if cellular data is grayed out when you go back to normal ?
-
@emphrath not grayed for me. This was corrected in a OTA few time ago I think.
-
@redxxiii i'm running ota-17 and it's not fixed. If this is actually fixed on your side of things, then sth rather strange is happening to me ^^
-
@emphrath hum... I m still on halium channel but need to go back to stable. I will tell you if something change. But maybe ask on telegram?
-
Hi! So I wiped my phone and did a fresh install with halium channel. Camera and flash are working now! Flashlight still don't. Any news about that? And also mtp usb do not work. But otherwise all seems to be stable. I ll let you know if i see anything else. Good job guys!
-
@emphrath all ok for me. I can activate and deactivate flight mode or data and all is ok. I ll try hotspot to check if it works well.
-
Hello! Today I updated my FP2 with version 91. And it seems that auto brightness is not working anymore. Have you experienced this too?
-
@redxxiii version 92 and still the same.

@redxxiii nice ! Thx for the update !
