Feedback for v1.9

I use a Teracube 2e Emerald and cannot update. I was prompted to install 1.9 a few days ago, but kept getting an error message to check my internet connection. I restarted the phone, one of the only things I know to try, but the updatestill wouldn’t work. The System Updates in Settings -says I’m running the latest /e/OS version, 1.8.1-20230204257076-emerald. The update to 1.9 isn’t shown anymore, and manually checking for updates doesn’t make it appear.

Not sure if it’s related, but at the same time as I began trying to install the system update, I realized App Lounge wasn’t allowing updates to apps. I noticed it first with DuckDuckGo, when its suggested update wouldn’t install. Eventually I uninstalled DDG, planning to install it again to work around the glitch, but App Lounge wouldn’t re-install the app. I just found a suggested fix on the forum (clearing the App Lounge cache), which now allows other apps on the phone to be updated, but DuckDuckGo still won’t install.

now: 1.9-q-20230310268292-stable-herolte

FLAWLESS from what I can tell so far.
(Only as always after update I have to re-switch off fast charging of battery…)

Thanks a lot!

Update done yesterday and all fine so far.
Thanks for the great work and fast response.
A big thumbs up for the team !

1.9-r-20230312268580-dev-emerald

Vendor Name: Teracube
Device name: 2e
Device CodeName: emerald
Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: e-1.8.1-r-20230206257804-dev-emerald
Is the device Rooted / Not rooted: Rooted

Updated without issue.
So far initial run is good to go. No problems yet.

1.9-s-20230310268290-stable-FP4

  • Vendor name: Fairphone
  • Device name: FP4
  • Device code name: Don’t know as not explained what this is
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously 1.8.1
  • Device not rooted

Problem: Display brightness was reduced. The max adjustment was not as bright as before the update (now it is fixed by itself, don’t know how).

Second problem: apk files cannot be opened from folder. Nothing happens when clicking on apk file (‘open with’ does not do anything as well). [Edit] Noticed not for all apks

Third: App Lounge settings were modified without my permission. Apps were updated automatically in background which resulted in the problem to deinstall an app and try reinstallation from apk file, which is not working (see second problem). (If you are interested. Latest versions contain unuseable advertising and the old version does not)

[Edit] Display brightness problem is back. And now I can see that the display is not going brighter if higher than 80 % which means it is stuck at the 80 & level (but lower is still possible).

@Manoj: As it seems potentially unclear, the Name column of the table could use “codename” as second line in the header (with quotation marks as they are used in the table).

Will check if it can be added back to make it

Name
‘codename’

Update took a bit longer but processed without issues.

No issues detected until now (no echo with calls, wlan ok, mobile data ok).
Many thanks to the developers, tester and PM´s and all of you helped to provide /e/ and especially v1.9.

Notes:

  • Magisk root needs to be repatched after update.
  • Battery problems are solved
  • Camera quality is good, but lens options are reduced?

The download and installation took longer than expected.

After testing v1.9 I have found it to be significantly improved, so far I have not had any problems.

Thanks to all the team for the effort they put into this version.

I also appreciate the removal of the “moto camera” app which was totally useless to me.

It might be a device specific firmware problem related to a similar problem in stock OS:

Updated today, update went without problems.

All seems to be working fine (very fast and snappy) but mail.

Mail is closing immediately after launching. I hope a v 1.9.1 will come soon to fix mail.

Mail was working in v 1.8.1 but everything was quiet buggy and slow.

All seems to be working fine. It’s my daily device so I’m thinking if there is a big issue I should be aware of.
Just for info my setup:
Launcher : Ruthless launcher
Accounts : murena.io for calendar and contacts, mailo.com for email, pcloud for picture/video storage.

  • “camera” application automatically closes upon launch.

  • I can’t install some applications from the applounge, “retry” status after download and install. But I think this issue was ever present with e-1.8.1

En français :

  • Problème avec l’application “notes”
    Message d’erreur : com.nextcloud.android.sso.exceptions.NoCurrentAccountSelectedException: No account selected yet
    (L’application “mails” fonctionne)

  • L’application “camera” se ferme automatiquement au lancement.

  • Je ne peux pas installer certaines applications à partir de l’applounge : statut “retry” après le téléchargement et l’installation. Mais je pense que ce problème était déjà présent avec e-1.8.1.

Maybe try to purge cache and data from those apps, enable temporarily trackers in advanced privacy. Then reboot the device and try again.

Thanks, I just purge cache and data for the 3 apps.
It solve issues for “notes” and “applounge”.

Camera still have the same behaviour, even without privacy settings. For the moment, I will use “open camera” which seems working well.
