Samsung Galaxy s10e
/e/OS 1.8 S
Not rooted

No problem.

Though since I have upgraded from Q to S, the trackers in the apps are not recognized as weel as before : most app only show one tracker instead of much more before. For example Advanced privacy showed 12 trackers in outlook on /e/ os Q, but now only one on /e/ os S (not linked with 1.8, it was the same on 1.7). Some apps show 3trackers when exodus and app lounge show 6 trackers. Those trackers used to be all recognized and blocked by advanced privacy on Q version.

I wonder if ths is normal

Maps crashes repeatedly after a few minutes since updating to eOS v1.8. With or without navigation and plenty of pace on the phone and SD card.

Thanks,
Patrick

After 1h5 mn of update, everything seems to work.
I updated the Magic Earth map and I have the impression that this is what made my phone reboot once without warning.
Now it seems ok.

Everything is fine ! Even a slightly bug on keepass as been fixed.
(I was unable to interact with the app buttons while the keyboard was up (openboard))
But the “show release note” button redirect to an non existing page on the gitlab !

Thanks Murena team for this new version !

I’m waiting the update for mine FP4. Meanwhile, could @stanwood or @18yt8zhg test for me TTS? Is it possible to select one entry for “vocal input” in Settings? Thanks in advance. :pray:

I don’t think so :

Ok, several users did already report the same issue (Gallery app takes 5 to 6 seconds to display the pictures).

Someone has already opened an issue: gallery app takes several second to load thumbnails (#6658) ¡ Issues ¡ e / Backlog ¡ GitLab

Hope a fix will be released :wink: In the meanwhile I’m using “Simple Gallery” app that works like a charm.

No problem with download, finalising took about 2,5 hours when finished there was no reboot option.
Restarted the phone myself. Everything seems to work fine at the moment.

Update gone very well, think it took about 20 minutes. No issue until now.
I’m glad I found PicoTTS, as expected:

Possibly this is going to be forked for stock Gallery app.

56

This would be a good decision. I had a brief chat with the developer recently. Nice guy. I really like aves libre. Now I only missing something like snapseed as FLOSS.

Xiaomi Mi8 here on 1.8.1. Sometimes with autofill via Bitwarden, the GBoard stays on the Screen and it is not possible to hide it.

Installed Magisk to use Android Auto. Working. No other Problems so far.

hi Elk - thanks for responding…yes, powered the phone off and on several times and also reset settings and neither resolved the issues

What is the best way to get back to 1.7 as I’m not sure will be able to get newer versions w/o wifi connection?

61

I think, as 1.7 has an earlier security patch level than 1.8, Android rollback protection would kick in, not letting you downgrade without a factory reset for security reasons.

So, the way is really just installing the earlier version like a new install with wiping your data. Either you will do it yourself as part of the install or rollback protection will force you to do a factory reset to boot the older version successfully after installing it.
