Halium 7.1 Test Channel
-
@fla I am basing on Ratchanans build so it really wonders me.
-
@spctrl Another thingy. Yesterday I noticed my phone had rebooted. Today it rebooted this morning at 9:07 and just now it rebooted again (19:49). In all three cases my phone was just laying there at the charger. Between this morning and just now I didn't even do anything with it, it was just laying there.
-
@spctrl Just to note, reboots were a thing that could happen before as well, but definitely not as much as now.
-
@spctrl Ahoi again!
I think I heard in a Q&A that there weren't any "formal" tests or smthng, so I took the liberty and opportunity to start something. I took the points from https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp2/ and tried to make a test-case for each of the points. There are some that I don't know how to do or what they mean, I marked those with TODO. When the test was OK, I marked it as OK. When not OK, I marked it as NOK and noted what it was that didn't work. Some have a test case, but aren't market, that's because I didn't do them. One extra thing I found was that connecting to my PC with USB-cable didn't seem to work (I assume that's the "usb: MTP access" thingy). Feel free to comment. If anyone wants to improve on this, please do, if any one can test more, please also do.

@spctrl Whooo, another thing, but I'm unsure if it's a problem with the build per sΓ©. When I installed this channel, it was "Version 3" in the Updates. This morning I wanted to switch to the Stable channel because I needed my camera. When I switched channels (pull down > System > System Settings... > updates > gear icon > Channels > Stable > back > back), I expect the image to be found and downloaded, but nothing happened. I used the installer to switch back to Stable, so no biggy, but now I switch back to this channel and I see it's already "Version 8", but I didn't get notified of it, so it seems I can't update from the phone. I switched the channel in the list to Stable again, just to test, and the problem is still there.
-
@flohack unfortunately, I really need a working Signal, so the nice 2-years UT adventure is over for me (yet). So my FP2 is now running /e/ OS, but I'm still following progresses made as I hope to be able to come back on UT as soon as Signal can be used there.
-
@spctrl Ok, I tested GPS this morning and it works \o/. I also previously said I didn't know how to test the notif light, but didn't see it lighting up. I still don't know when what colours are expected, but I've already seen the LED in both white and green, so I assume it works properly
-
@Flohack will there also be a test channel for the Nexus5 soon? So far I could not find it in the channel settings nor the installer.
-
@povoq Yes but we still have bigger issues with it, so I dont want to let people on it and then report back "it sucks"
We will do it when it feels more ready. Like, call audio working for example ^^ -
I just installed the latest halium build with ubports-installer on my FP2.
with Android 9 Fairphone OS.
I would have expected, that I need to flash Android 7.1 beforehand, but the installation-process went flawless and UT booted.
I reflashed the FP2 with Android 7.1 (latest Fairphone OS 19.11.2) and started from scratch.
Ubports-installer again worked without any issues.Findings:
OS-Build-Number: 2021-05-01
UBports-Image-Part: 20210422-6330So far everything works as expected with some exceptions/details:
- camera (the new module) works, flash works
- torchlight function with uTorch and from indicator does not work
- offline charging: not tested yet
Perhaps some issues are connected to my Android 9 base? Does it even matter at all?
So it seems to matter, which Android version is installed before flashing ubports...The previous issues with Android 9 base, like rebooting when shutting down or no charging are gone.
@Flohack: is it possible that the issues are connected to the previously flashed Android version or shouldn't it matter at all?
-
@luksus I just went back to the Halium channel to check (was back on stable for a while) and for me camera still doesn't work on the Halium channel (it did on the stable channel).
OS build number: 2021-04-30
UBPorts-image-part: 20210422-6330
The drivers I have are probably whatever they were in FairphoneOS at 04/04/2021 because I flashed FPOS on my phone that day, and when I switched back to UT I saw improvements in reaction speed of the camera (so I think flashing FPOS also flashed latest drivers or something), but I have no idea what version it was.I do confirm the reboot on poweroff (which worked properly before). I don't really know what the other issues are so can't confirm ^^'
-
I updated my previous post and removed the issues I had before.
I suspect the issues to be caused by the Android 9 version, which was installed before UT. -
Installed on my fp2 via halium-dev channel. Worked. At first sight everything exept camera seems working. But faster.
[edit 1: if i switch off rotation lock, then screen stays locked. In my case in portrait modus. But after a couple of restarts it works again. After update 33 it happens again]
[edit 2: after restart UT didn't ask for password of first SIM-card, but only for the second. The first SIM also stayed invisible in the menus. After the 4th restart it worked again.]
[edit 3: If I push the on-button while the machine is offline charging, the charging percentage is displayed in green nerdy fontface text (charging ??-100%" if i remember well) instead of the battery image.]
[edit 4: the phone does not turn on when pushing power button while charging.]
[edit 5: image during update differs from before]
-
@Flohack i am already in version 55, where can i follow the progress?
Is OTA 17 also included?
Something weird: i cannot power on the phone when charging. First, i have to pull the charger out.
-
@tommiedom
https://github.com/WeAreFairphone/modem_zip_generator/releases
19.02.1
The new aboot firmware included in this release fixes a longstanding bug (FP#26) that made impossible to power on the device while it's charging. -
@tommiedom yes the build here always follows the devel channel, so you got OTA-17 already. Sorry to say but there is no separate tracking of progress.
I have currently limited time and only can work now and then. When I fix something I will announce here probably
-
@flohack no prob, your work has a widespread collateral use anyway
-
@s3r0 check
-
@Flohack thank you for this ! I saw that subject a long time ago and I'm happy to see it close to solved
@luksus I tested it with the latest Fairphone Open OS build (Android 7.1). Everything is faster than before, but camera does not work for me, the screen stays black - I'll have to test with Fairphone OS to see if there is any difference but there shouldn't if the modem files are the same, no ?
Torchlight doesn't work, be it with uTorch or from indicator. -
Hi! Finally got the time to test the halium channel. Not sure of what version of Android my FP2 is based on. If you tell me how to find the information I will share it with you
What I noticed:
--> automatic brightness is not as good as with stable channel. At night it is too bright so I manually put the brightness to the lowest value from the battery indicator.
--> recents calls are not always displayed on the list in the call application.
--> sms sent are not displayed in the sms app. Neither sms received. I can only read them in the notifications!
--> camera and flash are not working
--> default browser seems to be onion browser and not morph. At least when clicking on a link from teleports.
--> SIM code is not asked when turning off plane mode as it was in the past if I remember well (bug or feature?)I hope that could help. I will go back to stable now as I need the camera feature. Or maybe I need to switch to another Android base?
Anyway thanks for the good job!
