Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners
-
@Rondarius That's interesting. You have rotation and I don't. I updated my apps as well because they were crashing. After updating, they were fine.
@Flohack How does the new rootfs affect the sensors? Would it be wise to flash everything from scratch like Rondarius did? I used the halium-install script, which worked fine.
-
@Flohack Or would it be better to flash the last custom rootfs you did then re-do 64bit like @Rondarius did. Because he says he never went to the upstream rootfs. That is when rotation broke.
Rotation worked on your last rootfs, as it apparently does on your new 64bit rootfs. But updating from the upstream rootfs keeps rotation broken
-
The rootfs be it 32 or 64 bit should not have any effect on the sensors. But the 64bit rootfs has a few differences to 32bit stable. I also see this rotation problem, and to me it looks more like a situational bug that occurs from boot to boot. But not sure, I need further investigations.
-
@rocket2nfinity BTW the latest rootfs has no modifications from my side, you can grab directly the ones from our CI server, which are nightly devels. So I really would like to know whats going on here. So rotation is always fine in 64bits?
-
@Flohack Rondarius says his rotation is fine on 64 bits. Mine hasn't been functional since I went to the upstream rootfs. It last worked on your 32bit rootfs. So I don't know. Maybe it's something else keeping it and other sensors from functioning.
-
@rocket2nfinity @Flohack I have rebooted my phone a couple times and rotation has worked every time.
-
I'm sorry that this might be just a little bit off topic, but I have a Nexus 6p and am super happy to see that Ubuntu Touch is on its way.
However, I am also affected by the bug that makes the phone shut down at low battery levels. So one stupid question:
Does restricting the phone to only using four cores solve the problem of random shut downs, or is it merely a necessity to get the phone working at all? -
@potet yes reducing to 4 cores can help with that problem. Its basically a wear-out, my device would have even rebooted with full battery. Basically flash the 4-cores-TWRP and let it run to low battery, then you can check independently of UT...
-
@Flohack That's amazing, thank you so much! Had more or less given up on giving it a new life.
I'm currently separated from it for a few weeks, but hopefully I'll manage to contribute in some way once I get it back.
-
@Flohack Well this is interesting - turned on my N6P today, it did a bunch of app updates and now rotation works. So something is/was causing a sensor crash. Maybe it will give you an idea of what's causing it. The only system apps that updated though were clock, calendar, file manager, open store and terminal. Have no idea what that might have to do with sensors.
Bluetooth still doesn't work though.
Accelerometer does!
-
@Flohack rotation crashed again. Any logs I can get you that might be of use to fixing the sensor crash problem?
-
@rocket2nfinity No idea, honestly. It must be smth in the Android part. So look for logcat maybe...
-
@Flohack @rocket2nfinity It seems that updating the calculator app crashed the rotation. It was the only update I had today. I didn't try the rotation before i made the update, but since my rotation worked before without crashing makes me asume that it was that update that made rotation to stop working. And I could be wrong too
-
@Rondarius That is just strange.
-
Yes I know. The app has nothing to do with sensors, so there must be something else that made the rotation to stop working. And still it was the only thing I did with the phone after I booted it up.
-
On a positive note, I've been playing with Libertine on the N6P. It's a lot more usable than on the N5. The N5 can barely keep a program open much less play a video or an audio stream. But as long as you keep the bandwidth down, the N6P can. Makes me really curious to try Anbox on it.
-
@rocket2nfinity Great to here that Libertine is more stable on this device, I haven't played around with it yet.
@Flohack The only log that I found using the file manager was the udev.log, do you have any use of this file?
-
Not rebooted it for a week.
Looks like I can't charge the phone now. -
@Kosakanao Let the battery sit charging for a while. Your battery may need to be replaced. Mine did that before I had to replace it.
-
Edit @Flohack @rocket2nfinity And my rotation works again. And I think I have a solution too. I forgot to turn of my phone the other day so it was on until the battery lost all charge, this doesn't turn of the phone instead I think it crashes and loosing the connections to the sensors. I did the same "mistake" last night and had to recharge my phone from zero and now my rotation works again.
