<![CDATA[Halium 7.1 Test Channel]]>Hello,

some of you may have noticed that there is a halium-devel channel available on the Oneplus One (currently the only device with that). The channel is for testing the upgrade of the Oneplus One to Halium 7.1, which will bring hopefully a few improvements, also for camera. Note that the camera is now initially not working in the new channel, but this will be investigated and fixed soon. Camera works now!

Now that we are ironing out the last bugs for that channel it is time for testing it. Simply go to your updates page in system settings, switch to that channel with the upper right gear icon, go back to the initial updates page, and the update should start downloading.

If you get stuck with switching channels, please also report here and use the UBports Installer with the bootstrap option to restore your preferred channel. Note that switching back to the old channel needed a change that might be live not earlier than tomorrow morning GMT.

It is recommended to do this in WiFi only, since its a huge update (500MB approx) and will drain your mobile data otherwise.

If you want to go back, simply do the same procedure and select any other channel of your choice. Please report back any findings here. Thanks!

  • NetworkManager and SSH don't start on boot anymore, so I had to add the following to /etc/rc.local:
/etc/init.d/network-manager start
service ssh restart
  • My phone defaults to 2G only (saves battery) option for the cellular Connection Type, which results in me getting no cellular and Denied until I change it to the 2G/3G/4G option. I'm not sure how to force it to use 2G/3G/4G by default, so I guess I will have to set it manually on every boot which is a bit inconvenient.

Until I'll find another OPO or OP3T or VollaPhone, I'm happy with this one now that has a full working camera (except stable at the moment). I use it as a daily phone since I made my profile here (aug 2020).

For now you could do check what @Lakotaubp said :

@lakotaubp said in Halium 7.1 Test Channel:

Can you check the connection to the screen are firm inside the OPO? One last thing is there a screen protector on? If so take that off.

I don't have the behavior from that post.

I don't think that's the behavior to consider here, but the fact that some cheap screens replacement could lead to some behaviors.

Testing the original OS might rule out stuff but for you to have issues accross various update channels is very odd. I am running my OPO all day today so will let you know how it goes.

PS. If the phone is in my pochet and I receive a call, sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive. Also, sometimes, when in a call with loudspeacker on, the crazyness happens.
The crazyness apears more often with some versions and less often with others.

I will not change the rc or swich channel anymore, until halium reaches stable. In the past I remember I uploaded a video when reporting this.

Also by switching to Stable.
There is no such issue reported AFAIK.

If different SW and same behavior then it is probably HW related.

The crazyness dissapears after restart. I'm not shure that this is caused by the hardware. It was a period when devel worked well.

If the screen is damaged then you will get a poor/zero performance when using the phone. You will have to fix the phone before the phone becomes usable, unfortunately.

Is the second time this happens. I opened another topic when rc to develop update did not succeed. This crazyness is with me since I started using ubuntu touch. You said is because the charger and that was fixed. With the paste few days/weeks this crazyness is worse than before... Also sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive. The guy from which I bought the opo said its screen was changed.

This will bring you back to the channel switcher.

However I wonder what wrong on your side, I dont have any craziness and I can switch channels however I like.

When it is locked, the side menu apears and disapears . Now after updating from halium to stable, it is stuck again in boot ubuntu logo.... The crazyness happens if I miss a call or if I receive a sms/notification

Also an old downloaded version from devel that failed to install can not be removed.

Also the crazyness seems to be worse than on RC or the old devel.
