@All I quickly decided to release a new version for RC and stable channels so that boot problem should be out of the way also soon ^^

@ftnirp camera is working for me on edge FWIW
-
@gerg Thanks i will try it right now
-
@ftnirp correction: still photos are working. video causes the app to hang, easy to restart it though
-
Maybe we could submit some tests to help out @NeoTheThird with the installer. You could submit the test manually on this site:
-
Had the phone completely lock up on me today while downloading a file. Had to hard reboot it.
-
I'm not sure whether this is a device specific issue, but one thing I have been experiencing since the beginning with this port is the following:
https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1174
In a nutshell, the pictures taken with the camera always have the same orientation relative to the phone, instead being rotated properly relative to the ground by using the reading from the accelerometer.
I know this is more of an annoyance rather than a critical bug... Any known solutions or workarounds?

@Flohack I have trouble with no sound on incomming calls.
I have sound on incomming sms.
I'm able to play the ringtones in sound settings.
I have sound on alarms.These are the steps that I have done so far:
Rebooted the phone.
Muted-unmuted, both in the indicator bar and in sound settings.
I'm on Devel, moved to Stable after that to Edge.
Reinstalled the phone(no wipe) with installer 0.5.4-beta, to Edge.
Nothing worked.
Is there someone else with the same problems?
-
@Rondarius Just tested alarm, audio, phone and sms on latest dev build. All working here. Maybe you had some sort of crash with audio modules.

@Rondarius I have the same trouble with the sound on incomming calls, but I do the same steps on install.

Interesting, we might have broken it in the rootfs. I also miss sound now, but it worked for months before.
-
Yes it seems the bug was introduced a few days or 1 week ago. People are looking into this...
-
@Flohack Great news.
@iordanov @rocket2nfinity thanks for the feedback and for the support. -
Hmm I got a new problem here: Sudden shutdowns.
So basically first I thought I ran out of battery, then maybe the battery gets old and thats why the phone suddenly shuts down, but thats not the case: Just now the phone shut down while connected to charging cable. And with over 60% of battery.
Does anyone know about this glitch? I am a fraid my phone starts dying. N6P was a great idea, but it seems the hardware design was poor. Also regarding this 4-core-bug.
-
Mine will usually shut down suddenly at any point after 30%, and the battery is quite poor. Never had it happen at higher percentages yet (I think), but I'll be watching for it.
I only got to the point where it gave power watnings and shut down at 0 once. I was amazed.
Ubuntu Touch does not seem to be any worse than 4 core android in this regard on my device. I agree with your conclusion: it's a great phone with even greater hardware flaws.
-
@Flohack That suspicuously sounds like the beginning of the four core problem, if the phone runs hot under the thumb print reader.
But, could also be a faulty battery. I thought I had the four core problem on mine until I found the controller in the battery was failing. It started doing emergency shutdowns thinking the battery was overheating. I wasn't sure, so I replaced the battery, and problem went away.
-
@Flohack I still think it's worth supporting even with the four core problem. On four cores it still runs as nice or better than the Nexus 5 or Pinephone, with great sound, camera, and VoLTE support.
So, it's a good, and cheap, entry to mid level phone for UT, and more when running 8 cores.
-
@potet I had the same trouble with the battery on 30% load. This happens because I used the phone every day for more than 3 years. But after changing the battery with a new one I have no such problems any more.
-
@rocket2nfinity I agree. It might come our way that we need to generally use only 4 cores maybe. If this is a fatality for all device owners after some time or so.
But for the time being I can publish again 4-core kernel to overwrite after any update. Problem is to get it into our OTA-Update scheme, that wont be easy.
