      Hi there! First of all let me thank @Flohack for the great work with this port and also the many testers! Keep it up!

      Last night I have successfully installed the arm64 image on my N6P with 8-cores. I have to say it looks very nice and fast. I've also tested the camera fix and it works (no video though).

      Count me in for testing πŸ™‚

      One thing I've noticed is that charging seems slower than on android (both with original charger and cable, and while connected to a pc with a usb-datablocker). I have an usb-amperimeter for testing if it helps.

        @lgtrombetta Great welcome to the club! Hmm regarding charging I am afraid we cannot do much at the moment, we basically start the Android service as they are and have only a limited interface to communicate with them. There can be reasons for that also externally, like you replaced the battery and it cannot be fast-charged.

          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 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 πŸ™‚ - Thats the only ppl who can answer your questions.

                      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:

                      Jul 9 22:42:09 ubuntu-phablet kernel: [ 133.075048] media-hub-serve[9906]: unhandled level 2 translation fault (11) at 0x00000000, esr 0x83000006

                      I have a really bad situation with the media-hub here, that will block at least music playback, and idk how I made this possible...

                            @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 πŸ˜‰

                            I'll let you know if I make any headway

                            just screw it.

                              @Flohack I do not actually have this issue, but I haven't tested my music app yet so that may be why

                              just screw it.

                                  @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 πŸ™‚ 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.
