One thing that I'm missing in the new site compared to the old one, as a developer, is to be able to have an overview of the stats of all your apps as once.

RE: Application Blablacar - connexion avec fb
Comme j'ai mis dans la description de l'app pour cela il faut attendre que l'on passe à Qt6. Il faut être patient au niveau de l'upgrade systême, mais je pense qu'on peut maintenant l'espérer d'ici à quelques mois. Ensuite les messages fonctionneront bien!
En attendant tu peux utiliser le Morph Qt6 beta, Min browser, ou Chromium for Ut.

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed

sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10
It does not seem to have clear impact on swap loss when importing from camera. I will see if the crash still happens in normal use, with this option in the coming days.

I tried to repro on my FP5 without success, but of course there are many differences: other phone, more Ram (I have 8 Gb hence a swap of 4Gb) , I don't use Whatsapp or Signal so all the apps available to share in contentHub are files and messages. After a dozen of shared photos, zero swap, available memory in top goes down by one or two hundred of megabytes, then back up.
Thank's a lot but I not sure to see how you can do it with files apps (or maybe there are import features that I don't know about, but I really don't see where).
Just to make sure I was clear with messages it would be:
1-Open messages app
2-Go to a conversation and click the attachment icon, then image
3-In contentHUb select camera
4-Take your picture and validateI will to some more tests tonight including swapiness.

Also do you see kswapd taking a lot of Cpu like in my top ?
No but I did not pay attention either, I will next time.
It's probably the same software and setup for all ports since it's not linked to Android.
But I would be very curious to know if the action that I mentioned previously is reproductible for other VP22 users and non-VP22 users: importing a picture with contentHub directly from camera app to Whatsweb (probably works with another app than whatsweb), does reduce progressively the amount of available swap, when done several times, without any clear reason.
Because on my side it does it reproductibly, it's probably not the only action that triggers that, and it kind of explain why I end up without swap.

could you play a little more with 'top' using 'f' and 's' to sort by VIRT or RES to see what is growing exactly, the default sort (Cpu) not being of much use here. If signal-desktop is not the culprit in this case, it may be whatsweb for example.
If you look at the last top I posted I sorted with %MEM which is equivalent than sorted by RES. And there is seemingly no process that eats too much RAM. I've never seen in a top any processes consuming outrageous amount of RAM.
I've also done a df -h , to see if a ramfs could use too much space but I've seen nothing.
As you tell me that "the swap handling is not the 'classical' sort, it's the more advanced type of 'compressed Ram'", I wonder if the swap itself could be buggy?

oh, the Ram eater !
Holmes, the game is afoot
Holmes would say that Signal-Desktop sure is an easy culprit but the easy culprit rarely is the real culprit!

In this case Signal has an alibi: I've just been able to reproduce the bug, without starting signal-desktop since boot.
It can be done more or less reproducibility by playing with the camera, and importing pictures to Whatsweb directly from the camera app in contentHub a bunch of times, and recording videos.
But also a new clue arrives in the investigation, I've realized that actually if I give the system a lot of time, like 5 - 15 minutes, without rebooting it, it seems to end up recovering (at least sometime, I will see if it is reproductible), and after the recovery free swap recovers to more or less normal levels in top ( 1268 ) .

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed
Ok I think I've found an action that make Ram/Swap disappear magically: import a picture from camera in contentHUB: take a picture and import it directly in contentHub. I've made it various times it a row, until the swap reached 0, and the phone crashed. Here is the last top I got (it was running in background, until it crashed at the same time as the phone interface).

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed
Here is a situation where I'm close to Out-of-Memory, (my phone freezed for 15s and then recovered). If I reboot the phone and open the same apps I will have a lot more swap availiable. Surely if I keep using it like that, it will crash at some point. I have not made a call today, but I've taken pictures. I don't understand why the swap use is so much higher than normal because top does not show any processes that use abnormal amount of Ram. Could the problem come from swap itself?

RE: Smooth Edges (name pending) - Let's Fix the Bugs That Drive You Mad
I would like to add to my list, a new priority 2 that since I upgraded my Vollaphone 22 to 24.04-1.1, I have recurrent crashes / freeze, seems an Out of memory problem, and might be related to the dialer and/or VoLTE. I did not have any similar problem before. It greatly reduce the reliability and usability of the phone unfortunately.

RE: Whatsweb app upgrade.
@mihael said in Whatsweb app upgrade.:
Actually I don't know but maybe whatsapp works inside waydroid?
Yes, it works you can download apk from official website.
somehow take a picture of the qr code from whatsweb and then scan it with whatsapp from within waydroid...
For the Qr-code option, you need to use a second device to take a picture of the Qr-Code, and then switch to Waydroid app, and scan the Qr-code on the screen of the second device. (I've not tested it for Whatsapp but it works for Signal).
It should also possible to use the phone number option, then you don't need another device, just to copy a code that will appear in the waydroid app. It should be easier!

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed
About the dialer, I cannot exclude that the app was opened (or had been used) at the time of every crash.
It's true also that I now use VoLTE, that I did not use before 24.04.1 , so it could have a impact on the RAM(?)
It's also true that I cannot reproduce the bug by opening a lot of apps straight after a reboot.

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed
Ps: I also just experimented a black screen when receiving a call. In Adb I could see the phone was not in out of memory at that time. The phone was vibrating and I could not turn on the screen to see the call.
Although previously in this boot I had an Out of Memory problem, it freezed temporarilly, but the system recovered, so I wonder if some important system processes may have been killed in the process.
Honestly I'm wondering whether I should downgrade, because this starts to be a real problem.

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed
I almost do not use Waydroid, the crashes and freezes happen when waydroid is not started and have not been started since boot.
Well I've investigated and it seems to be an out of memory problem.
Because I realize that now if I start a few apps (like the Morph browser + whatsweb + Signal UT ) then I rapidly run out of Ram AND Swap. (I can see it in top)
Then my question is why did it not happen before? Is the memory usage is higher in 24.04-1.1 compared to 24.04-1.0 and if so why ?
And secondly why do we have so few swap (2 Go) if there are Out of Memory problems? Or maybe we had more swap in 24.04-1.0 and it was reduced ?
Is it possible to increase the swap?
Edit: By the way I've reported the problem here. https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/volla-phone-22/volla-mimameid/-/issues/24

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed
I've tried to access the shell when the phone freezed, but It does not reply.
Honestly the frequency of freezes is quite alarming, it almost never happened before 24.04.1.1 .

RE: VP22 Upgrade from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 failed
Since last upgrade I seem to experience occasionally system crashes, or rather freezes: the system does not respond and I have to reboot. I did not have such problems before the upgrade.
It seems to happen more when recording a video, when terminating a call, but It also happened in random moments like, just after starting Signal UT.
Anyone else noticed that?

RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
@CiberSheep said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:
@pparent said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:
Could you document the process, when you do? It will be of a lot of help for other developersThank you for your suggestion.
I would say, I guess the commits are the documentation of the process. It's not overly complex, and I would say is kind of self-explanatory for a developer.
https://github.com/pparent76/SignalUT/commits/main/
By the way the code in the Signal UT repo was already reused by someone for "Chromium for UT" App. (I also reused my own code for "Min Browser")
Now if there are specific questions about it I'm always open to answer!
But for now, I'm not sure to see the point of investing work into translating the code into human words, that are going to be more vague, and less precise. -
RE: Application Blablacar - connexion avec fb
Je précise au passage que BlaBlacar n'est pas utilisé qu'en France. En Espagne ou je voyage régulièrement c'est très rependu. Je ne sais pas tous les pays ou c'est utilisé mais j'imagine qu'il y a plusieurs pays d’Europe qui l'on adopté. (Je dis ça car ces infos intéressent peut-être donc des non-francophones).

RE: Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
I've published the new version v7.83.0-1 that allows uploading files.
For Christmas send a photo to your family with Signal UT, and let me know if it works!

Next release will focus on notifications! Though expect a delay as I will do a pause for Christmas holidays!
Ps: Import and export files through contentHub is currently done in a hacky way until we can switch to wayland and xdg_portal. It might occasionally/rarely fail (including application crash, or application loosing focus) in that case restart the app, and try again.
