Feedback for v1.9

I searched before posting and did not find a category for issues with the latest upgrade so I post here.
Did not have this issue with 1.8 and the phone is a Murena One and have not many apps on it but the one Protonmail when composing or replying to an email the spell checker will change what I typed in the email e.g. Ken gets changed to Men and this occurs with multiple names.

I went into Settings/System/Language and input/Advanced/Spell checker and turned it OFF and this still occurs making it very annoying. Even rebooted the system but that had no change. Contacted Protonmail Support last evening and was advised the issue is with the Android System since they have no spell checker with their product.

In Android the keyboard still has its own settings, since it’s an App you could replace with a different one. Please additionally check Settings - System - Languages and input - On-screen keyboard - Android Keyboard (AOSP) - Text correction.

I did as you suggested and checked the keyboard settings and that did resolve my issue with composing and replying to messages with protonmail app!

Thank you for your sincere reply.

No, I just meant the keyboard App has its own settings because it’s an App you can replace with a different one. Android’s overall success is largely based on customisability, sometimes you pay a little price for this.

Thank you for your suggestion AnotherElk. It resolved my issue! Being new to Android, after twenty years with Apple, I am amazed as you stated the customisability this system has. Could you recommend a book for newcomers to Android?

Most Appreciative.

Where has this option gone for controlling the processor’s speed? Don’t know the correct word in English. Wasn’t this among the Accu settings?

I know there are books, but I don’t know whether they are any good. I don’t even know how those books go about covering this.
The more detail they would go into, the more they would risk not fitting what users have in their hands and see on the screen, because it can be totally different and still Android. And this is even without the next major Android version coming around and changing things.

Most of what I know I got from searching the internet for my questions and from reading in forums just as this one here.

It was, and it was called Performance profile. Seems gone for now in Android 12 (or before, I didn’t have a look for a long time). I don’t find a reference quickly as to why.

Good reply. Thanks again.

I found Performance profile in both Android 10 and 11 on my devices – if that is what you meant.

Yes, but now it’s gone. Hope that there’s an intelligent management builtin now instead of running just full speed all the time. This had an enormous influence on my accu usage.

Yes, I see.

After two days I am at some 1,5% battery usage per hour - still awaiting an average.
Only those stalactites are a mystery to me:

Hi Gianna,

I have Lenovo Tab 10 and wonder how you installed e?
Can you please direct me to any howto?

Cheers,

Hello,

I wanted to give some feedback too for the new update. Apart from the fact the I hate the new style of android 12, I noticed the following changes:

  • positive: The gallery finally works again as in showing photos AND videos and the same category. This had bugged me for quite some time!
  • negative: My WiFi doesn’t work properly. I read through all the comments and couldn’t find someone else reporting this, so maybe this is on my end, but I actually wouldn’t know how.
    • After like an hour or so, my WiFi suddenly loses connection. When I turn the phone back on, there is no icon in the top right corner and WiFi connection is not there. I have to manually open the connections and tap WiFi for it to reconnect. I know that the WiFi is down during the time because when I reconnect, all the messages I missed arrive all at once.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into /e/OS!

Hi all,

Fairphone 3
E/Os/ 1.8

I’m surprised with email.
I don’t see in my phone mails sent via web.
And in mail web, I don’t see mails sent with my phone.

Is it normal ?

Thanks a lot for all job done.

Vince

One possible reason could be that the web client copies sent mails to a different folder than the Android client.

Hi, thank your for the information you provided. So, following the instructions in the howto I found out that I’m on 1.8.1-R-dev.

There’s no 1.9-R-dev build available, so I’ll be waiting =)

Nevertheless thanks again for your help.

Hello,

I just updated my SM-G965F ( Samsung Galaxy S9+) to version 1.9-q-20230310268292-stable-star2lite, Kernel Version 4.9.218.

When my phone rebooted my notes app was empty and it appears to have deleted all my notes.

Is there any way I can retrieve all my previous notes? I had months of notes saved. Is there a folder I am able to restore these from? I just noticed my murena cloud storage was full which appears did not sync them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
