Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Have upgraded from testing 3.2.1.20 to devel 3.3.0.16. Everything works much better! Except lockscreen/ lipstick is stuck in portrait, but that's not that important.

Thank you. Best wishes.

Might help?
I had to do it again after some update to have landscape homescreen.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Guys, try out bluetooth after latest update!
Suddenly everything (Headset / Car Unit / Pebble) works for me.

Could

happier.
Wow, Thanks porters!!

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

I get stable bluetooth connections to my car and one tested headset, but I still don't get audio routed to them for some reason.

In addition the screen doesn't seem to turn off during a call any more, so I've put someone on hold twice this morning with my ear :o

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Oh, i am currently listening to soma.fm on my headset from Pro¹.
Maybe you need to set the receiving device to A2DP manually or change the used profile/device in Sailfish Bluetooth UI settings?

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Had already tried that for the headset, with no useful result. It certainly tries to route audio sometimes (I can hear very faint keypad tones when dialling) but not all the time. I was going to test it in the car when I go out tomorrow, but I've given up.

After a couple of calls today, this 'ear dialling' problem has rendered the phone unusable.

It's hard enough to make a living at the moment without hanging up on the same customer 6 times in two days :mad:

Pro1 goes back in the box until I feel a lot more relaxed, back to JollaC for a while :)

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

There is a simple tool for choosing the audio output in OpenRepos:

Just FYI.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Hi all, I received my Pro^1 recently, and I'm checking it for defects before installing Sailfish on it. I found one, but I'm not sure it's a hardware-related. Every time I record a video a crackling sound is heard at the beginning and at the end of recording. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a software or hardware issue (or normal)?

I guess it will suffice to test all wireless technologies, audio (speaker & jack), mic, camera, keyboard, SIM/SDCard slots and (I guess )usb-c data transmission...

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Yes, indeed, if the major hardware features work it is save to move to sailfish. There are many quirks in the official android still.
You might want to try to get a GPS fix in Android to confirm it works since that is one of the few unsolved issues. For most sfos Pro¹ GPS works in sfos, for few not.

Even if you discover problems much later it is possible to fully backup sailfish to sdcard, flash android to test hardware, then revert to backup as proven by @kabouik

Congratulations on getting the Pro¹ delivered!
Such a relief to see things move again.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Yeah, PM quota in 2020. Sorry about that. :)

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

I can no longer install or upgrade packages; everything I try, I get the message "Nothing provides libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3.9)"

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Time to upgrade to 3.3, huh?

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

What will that change? I've held off on upgrading because of people here saying that it breaks call functionality, which is, well, the main point of a phone.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Is it still broken for someone? I have been using 3.3.0.16 as daily for pretty long by now. Would be nice to know if there is any particular breakage missed.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

3.3.0.16 didn't break calls for me. I still have issues with 3G and overall network reception, but it might be hardware, and the update didn't change it.

Unrelated: Havoc, a Wayland terminal emulator, has been ported to SFOS over the past few days by @ii8. It fixes all rendering issues previous native terminals have with ncurses apps, nano, limited colours, or stuck scrolling (I had that in Toeterm). Text selection and scrolling are not mutually exclusive thanks to multitouch support. It has no virtual keyboard, so it is not ideal for other devices, but with the Pro¹ I believe the experience is really close to that of a desktop terminal emulator.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Probably Gemini can also benefit. :)

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

At 3.3.0.16, for me there are problems with accidental activation of the touch screen while in-call. I keep putting calls on hold, recording, changing modes etc. I think this is new behaviour, I didn;t notice it in previous versions. It's annoying, but not fatal.

In addition, I can't get the phone to route audio to any bluetooth device in-call. In all previous versions, I couldn't maintain connection to a bluetooth device at all for more than ~10seconds, so annoying, but still a step forward from previously.

If either one of these problems was fixed, I'd be entirely happy. At the moment I mostly only use the Pro1 for testing,because I can't afford to keep hanging up on my few remaining customers.

I'm not on the telegram group, so no idea if my experience is typical, or if my install got screwed up somehow.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

I don't have these proximity problems during calls. However it forgets to wake up after the call. Still might be better than your experience, as triple power wakes it regardless.

I've paired it to my car and the calls are not routed. However the media audio is, so maybe just further reconfiguration is needed only and might be fixed soon.

Here is the Discord server, might be more useful for you.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Yeah thanks, but no thanks :)

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

I see it also critical. Why the next platform. We always had TMO. Then there came TJC. Now discord, for what reason? What will be next? I have to search more and more for valuable information. :(

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Right. I am also divided.

Best we can try is to collect/share all definate and important info here.

Discord and Telegram are fine if you are looking for quick responses, which is not always the case on tmo if you need to troubleshoot sth quickly.
Also the messengers help to channel the chatter.
So imo it is about the right choice of measures.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

That's the exact reason why we have this thread folks. The thread on TJC is also useful because it's a wiki, and many new SFOS users don't even know about TMO (which is a good thing, it means they don't all come from the Maemo era and we've had new comers).

Discord/IRC/Telegram/Whatever are all useful for instant discussion and answers, also much more convenient for testing stuff due to live chat. We have tried to forward all important information here and on TJC when significant milestones were reached, but we may have forgotten stuff that could still be found in the Discord pinned messages, though. It's a lot of work to make sure all information is reflected everywhere.

I can't deny that having multiple live chats is an issue and splits the information and the community, but on the other hand people have different preferences and do not all agree to use the same. There are partial bridges between those systems though. This is not a new issue. We could go for the Whatsapp paradigm and have everyone prisoner of the same chat protocol with no real choice because all their contacts are using it, but I think this would contradict what we value the most in here.

I don't have any proximity issues during calls in 3.3.0.16.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

How do you update? I remember seeing the command somewhere in this thread but I don't remember what to search for.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

You can use sfos-upgrade from Openrepos.net for instance (otherwise it's something with ssu re, but sfos-upgrade includes some checks and should be more robust in case of patches).

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

What Optiin shall I choose. Until now I have always chosen to abort...

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

accept 1st option and enjoy finger lock after reboot :)

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

If I would do that, ofono and pulsaudio are replaced with older versions. Is that by intend?

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

wht you mean? by your screenshot ofono and pulseaudio not affected. post new info then.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Well this part was also new to me, because before I always aborted:

Just visited a shop with mobile phones. Showed my N900. "Of course people can use keyboard phones and send mail in botttles but there are easier ways". Did not have time to drop him down from his shattering castle.

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

"Easier" ways???

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Give us the full story please!

Hello^^

i tried to install sailfish_linux_chroot but it doesn't won't to work.

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Clone it in ~/sailfish_linux_chroot/

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

install rsync.
open terminal on phone (or ssh into it)
#pkcon install rsync

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Is that still the case for you?
It was for me as well. But now it seems that an update lead to a state, that I'm not able to phone via bluetooth anymore . I can't get phone calls to be routed over any bluetooth device. That only happens with phone calls. Media plays nicely.

:(

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Sorry for not correcting back here...
I apologized on discord and in Adams Pro¹ telegram for the false claim already.
No idea what exactly happened but it only worked once right on the evening adam was testing and i updated multiple times that evening and i am not sure anymore if it even did like expected or i did not grasp it at that time. Sry for the confusion...

Call audio is not routed through BT correctly.
All other BT features work.

Since all profiles are in place now after adams last round of fixes and get registered with the device on connect, my suspicion is the problem is BT + ofono related.

Gorden, if you are interested in chroot, you'll be interested to hear that Illyria has made major improvements with his WIP LXC app, see the teaser in images below with my current container (Debian, i3wm and some ricing). The release is not ready yet, but word is it shouldn't be too long now!

Here's a demo: https://reddit.com/r/linux/comments/...ilfishos_demo/

Good reception on Reddit so far!

Re: SFOS on F(x)tec Pro¹: progress, issues, tricks, free chat
 

Reddit automatically flagged me as a spammer after 1.8k votes, I assume that's because there were links to fxtec.com and Liangchen's Twitter account in the comments. Love Reddit, the bot deleted everything I posted in years for a false spam flag with no prior notice.

Youtube link then: https://youtu.be/8PnDZtKzsSc

This could work on other SFOS devices without a hwkb too: https://youtu.be/Miyxfc038y8
