Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners
-
@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 :clapping_hands:
-
@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 ^^
-
@rocket2nfinity Hmm I cant imagine that it has smth to do with camera flash tbh. Thats totally unrelated. But ok
-
Can someone plz test latest system.img (replace just that, no full install needed) for Bluetooth working again? Ah and to stop this unholy media-server just type initctl stop media-hub in a shell (no sudo, as phablet user) so it wont drain your battery. Still looking into that.
-
@Flohack Is the system image from six days ago the one you want us to test? Don't see one posted today
-
@rocket2nfinity 6 days is good, it takes creation date originally from my local harddisk ^^
-
installed twice. Same condition - click one switch on, the other turns off. And that broke the SIM, so no cell service detected now either.
-
@rocket2nfinity Hmm I changed only loading of BT helper ^^ so no idea why it broke cellular. Will try later myself
-
@Flohack I meant to mention that I really like that the settings icons are back. Not a fan of the text only settings menu page. Hope you all plan to keep it that way. Or give us an option to keep the icons if we want.
-
@rocket2nfinity Its 50:50 now the other half of the fans start beating us for removing the text ^^ but it will stay for some time probably
- 8 days later

Hello guys,
I fixed again general audio, was a weird one. Please grab latest system.img and replace it with the script, no need for full install. Should bring back music
