Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners

rocket2nfinity · 19 Feb 2020, 10:18

@Flohack No DNS errors so far. Haven't had any WiFi problems. I just switched my SIM card from my Nexus 5 to the 6P. Will take a bit to activate (Metro PCS - still requires you to tie your sim to the IMEI, so I couldn't just pull it out of one and put in the other. Had to call customer service. A real pain in the...).

@Flohack Nice! I'll be glad to test it on mine when you're ready

rocket2nfinity · 19 Feb 2020, 10:29

@Flohack How do you screen capture on Ubuntu Touch?

rocket2nfinity · 19 Feb 2020, 13:36

OK, SMS works as expected. Phone however is not functional. There's a delay of about five seconds after you hit the call button before it tries to dial. No call audio transmitted or received. Takes about the same time to figure out its receiving a call as well.

Maybe related - not getting more than 8M/sec download speed. Technically 4G, but certainly not LTE. I've played with APN settings and haven't yet managed to fix it.

@rocket2nfinity Press Vol Up and Down at the same time.

flohack · 19 Feb 2020, 19:19

@rocket2nfinity Yeah call audio I could not fix but I am working on it...

rocket2nfinity · 19 Feb 2020, 21:04

Network speed problem is a local issue. Went downtown, got solid LTE. So, all works except calls and camera

flohack · 19 Feb 2020, 23:18

@rocket2nfinity Excellent. Could you go back to top of this thread, and see in the "Not working" area if you can confirm a few of the missing things? I will try to do the same and so we can verify all missing stuff on a solid base.

@Flohack

Not Working:

Sensors: Rotation 
Actors: Torchlight - don't see the setting in navbar
Camera: Flashlight
Camera: Photo
Camera: Video
Network: Bluetooth (you have a fix)
Network: Hotspot - icon pops up in navbar, but can't find my network on other devices
USB: MTP access
USB: RNDIS access

Partially working:

Cellular: Incoming, outgoing calls - tries, appears to connect, but no audio

Not sure:

Cellular: Speakerphone (limited volume control)
Cellular: Voice in calls (limited volume control) - You get limited volume, I get none in both cases

GPU: Video acceleration - I wondered if acceleration was working, but Videos do load and play without stuttering in HD quality

Cellular: PIN unlock - don't have this set. Probably should research and decide if I should

One other thing - Battery. Seems to drain excessively fast compared to my last Android build. I understand there's an improvement for that in OTA-12. Noticed my battery life on my Nexus 5 improved when I went to Dev channel

I noticed something strange with cellular APN settings - clicking reset APN doesn't actually seem to reset the APN in the menu. After I click reset, it still shows the settings for a network I'm not using and does not show my current provider. Yet internet connects.

I know there is a way to clear it manually using terminal, but I can't seem to find that anywhere. Would you happen to know?

flohack · 21 Feb 2020, 10:12

@rocket2nfinity Battery I noticed also but that was because I did not disable a few crashing services. Will send you new image today eve, that should extend battery life

flohack · 21 Feb 2020, 10:13

@rocket2nfinity Well APN settings is nothing probably that is related to a device. You might see the same behaviour on a already supported UT device. Could you test this with that SIM card in another device?

Rondarius · 21 Feb 2020, 18:59

@Flohack I tried it on my Nexus 5 Devel and I had the same behaviour with the APN.

flohack · 21 Feb 2020, 19:20

Yeah I think thats a software bug and not device-specific

rocket2nfinity · 21 Feb 2020, 19:32

Tested on my N5. Same thing. Never checked it before. File a bug report or did you already do so?

Rondarius · 21 Feb 2020, 20:48

@rocket2nfinity sorry, no. I am not apart of this project so I do not know were to file a bug.

rocket2nfinity · 21 Feb 2020, 23:21

@Rondarius Issue reported. Just FYI you can report issues here:

flohack · 21 Feb 2020, 23:22

@rocket2nfinity Ive just uploaded a new system.img, please replace and test for battery lifetime

rocket2nfinity · 22 Feb 2020, 05:49

@Flohack You psyched me out. I saw that bluetooth icon on and thought maybe it was working!

I'll let you know how the battery performs

rocket2nfinity · 22 Feb 2020, 07:26

Got another question. Usually with Android, when there is a newer radio image, they recommend you flash it. The radio image matching this build is 3.81. The latest was 3.88. Might not be much in those updates but could improve cell performance - or break it depending on what they did. Thoughts on this?
