Hi

I have Android 10 with eOS 1.5-q-20221031230909-dev-FP3 on a FP3.
And so the problem is I cannot do anymore updates past 1.5 as it is not proposed in the update tab.
So I cannot solve some bugs like calendar and contacts not syncingā€¦

Thanks.

FP3 Android 10 support was dropped quite a while ago, and there are no OTA upgrades (= Android version upgrades via the updater) on the dev release channel.

https://doc.e.foundation/build-status

The only way out of Android 10 on the dev release channel is a manual upgrade = fresh OS install. Your data will be wiped by default, so be prepared with a backup.
FP3 /e/OS is currently on Android 12 (S), but Android 13 (T) should be out pretty soon, it might be worth to wait for it if you have to do a fresh install anyway.

And you might want to consider using the opportunity to install the stable variant, since the FP3 stable release channel got OTA upgrades from Android 10 to 11 and from 11 to 12, so it offers a better chance to avoid such a situation. Switching from dev to stable also requires a fresh OS install, so that would fit.

Manual upgrade via adb sideload e-1.11-r-20230512289175-dev-jactivelte.zip. Before that, for safetyā€™s sake, manually upgrade e-Recovery e-1.11-r-20230512289175-dev-jactivelte.zip.

At first glance,Galaxy jactivelte is functional.

My device also seems to be affected by the battery drain due to Media Storage, as reported by @Usem for his OP8T. I will see whether the problem persists.

EDIT: I have reverted to /e/OS 1.10 for the time being. I know that this is not ideal (and I had to do a factory reset), but I need a phone with a battery life of at least one day. I hope that the battery drain issue will be fixed in version 1.12 (or in /e/OS Android T).

No issues so far, but no intensive testing because it is just the backup device.

Hi,
Just wanted to share my experience on that.
I have a FP3 and I was able to switch from dev to stable via adb.
I just didnā€™t know it was ā€˜not possibleā€™ and it worked like a charm.
Iā€™m definitely more prudent for someone elseā€™s phone and I do not recommand the procedure if itā€™s risky.

But for public interest, I just sideloaded a stable build via adb sideload, and the phone booted normally.

I did it few months ago, because I was mad of a perf issue on FP3, with the OS upgrade test session (https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/qa/testing-community/-/issues/33), and a stable build was available in the topic, solving the problem. Iā€™m now receiving OTA stable updates, when available.

If Iā€™m correct, I also upgraded my phone from Q to R, on a dev build, with /e/ OTA. It was available, and worked. Itā€™s only after seeing the feedback on the forum that I understood it should not have been possible

Hope this helped :sweat_smile:

Redmi Note 8T

Vendor Name: Xiaomi
Device name: Redmi Note 8T
Device CodeName: ginko / willow
Version of /e/OS which existed previously: e-1.2-r + e-recovery 1.2
The device is: Not rooted

The OTA update from e-1.2-r to e-1.11-r was successful. However, e-recovery 1.2 was not updated to e-recovery 1.11. I had to install this manually afterwards. At first glance, Redmi willow is functional.

BTW: The Xiaomi firmware as well as the device codenames are different for the Redmi Note 8 (ginko) and Redmi Note 8T (willow).

Is updating the recovery enabled in Settings - Updater - (three dot menu) - Preferences - Update recovery?

Xiaomi Redmit 8T (ginko/willow) not rooted, update from 1.10 to 1.11

Update went through fine, but it booted after that, there was extensive flashing and flickering even on the SIM PIN entry screen already. After logging in, this continued with similar gliching, random apps being visible for a split second instead of what was supposed to be shown. It was at least somewhat possible to navigate the UI. It looked as if sometimes the wrong GPU buffer was accessed or something like that.

After manually rebooting the device (long press on the lock button, tap on ā€œrebootā€), everything was back to normal again. No issues as far as I can tell.

Google Pixel 3a

Most everything works fine, except Iā€™m also having a battery drain issue. Normally, overnight battery drain is around 5%, a little more if thereā€™s bad reception, but not much more. After the latest update the overnight battery drain has been major. For example, last night I went to bed with 94% battery and woke up this morning at 15% battery where normally I would have had around 90% battery this morning. I waited about a week to post this because I know there can be some battery issues after an update that work themselves out quickly, but this doesnā€™t seem to be correcting itself.

Indeed, 1.11 S Stable build has not been yet published for the FP4.

Should land next weekā€¦
