Unofficial build for Sony Xperia Z3 tablet compact Codename: scorpion
Device: SGP621 Z3TC
Version: /e/OS 1.13
Rooted with Magisk
Everything seems to work with one exception: when I enable Tracking Control most apps refuse to connect to the internet. Strange, because other devices don’t have this behavior. Regardless if I release all blockers. When I disable TC apps have webaccess again. This was already there on version 1.12.3
I know it is a non-supported version but maybe someone has a clue.
The release has been pushed forward to Monday 31 July. It is always better to release during the week rather than the weekend, as team members are available to handle any issues that may be reported.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (ginkgo), and haven’t received any updates since 1.12.3. That’s 24 days ago. What happened? Has support for ginkgo been dropped? The Gitlab issue (https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/7112) has been closed.
Nothing abnormal !
the rythme is about 6 week, and the release was announced for monday…
PS : you have nothing to exige from the dev team, all that comes is a present.
I don’t see how less than a month since last update is some huge time to complain about. 1.13 was just announced and will take a little time to make available for all targeted devices.
Patience, please.
I meant to say that there wasn’t any 1.12.3 eOS version for the ginkgo. And now 1.13 has been released, with no ginkgo version yet, as well. And that gitlab issue has been closed, so I’m wonding if support for the Redmi Note 8T (ginkgo) has been dropped.
I don’t mean to complain. I’m just wondering. If it just takes more time, I’m happy to wait.
Your wording of “I haven’t received any updates since 1.12.3” technically implies you have 1.12.3.
Should’ve been “…any updates since 1.11”, which was the last for your device.
v1.13 is not yet available for any of my devices so I know it will take awhile if it is forthcoming.
The reason the GitLab issue was closed was clear in the last comment. Version 1.13 is now the focus.
Given that Lineage still has LOS 18.1 nightlies for the ginkgo (July 2023) there is still hope.
If ginkgo is still supported then one can only hope there are no build issues.
It wasn’t really clear in the closed issue for 1.12.3 if ginkgo had build failures or was just not built for whatever reason (no device maintainer, no testers, etc.).
I guess some clarification of the device’s status would be welcome. @Manoj , do you know if the device is still supported or in the pipeline for 1.13?
Device: Samsung S10+
Version of /e/OS which existed previously: 1.12.3-s
Not rooted
OTA update went through with no problems.
After the upgrade, things seem to work fine (have upgraded 24h ago, so tested most apps)
One interesting thing is that the /e/OS upgrade triggered updates to MS Teams and MS Outlook (probably due to version compatibility), and now both Outlook and Teams work correctly from inside shelter, without allowing any trackers at all.
Either the new versions of MS apps have changed the way they work (not relying on the “Mobile Engagement” tracker for critical functionality), or they have implemented new trackers /e/OS is not aware of (cannot detect).
Would be curious to hear from anybody who knows anything on this subject.
I’m facing some issues like fingerprint missing and battery drain (maybe due to ”Media Storage”) and I hope that an upgrade will solve them…
I do really enjoy /e/ (you guys do a great work!) but if there is no more updates for my phone model, I’ll need to find another way (Lineage OS?) to solve these problems, because I don’t have the technical skills to fix them.
