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

Updated today, update went without problems.

  • Device: Gigaset GS 290
  • /e/ OS version (earlier): 1.8, Android 10
  • rooted: not rooted.

Thanks again for the good job.

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.

Ce we j’ai refait des tentatives d’installation de la version 1.9 sur Xiaomi mi10T lite (gauguin)
tout mes essais ont abouti à des échec, le terminal reste obstinément en v 1.8.1

Est-ce qu’un autre utilisateur de ce téléphone peut me faire un retour d’expérience?
@Manoj je suis disposé à échangé directement avec le mainteneur en charge de ce modèle

Merci

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.

  • Issue with “notes” application
    Error message : com.nextcloud.android.sso.exceptions.NoCurrentAccountSelectedException: No account selected yet
    (“mails” app works well)

  • “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.

Xiaomi MI 9T (davinci) - /e/OS-Q eRecovery mass failure

Nothing has changed since /e/OS version 1.3. All errors are still there and can be reconstructed.

I still can’t install the /e/recovery and have to use the TWRP recovery.

Still the triple cameras (wide, ultrawide, telephoto) and the motorized pop-up selfie camera are not recognized and get error messages. Also the known camera app alternatives do not work.

Side note: The Google infected PixelExperience davinci-13.0-20230221-1523-OFFICIAL ‘stable’ works flawlessly.

Please note the “previously” (if not everything else) :wink: .

Can’t confirm on my Fairphone 3 running 1.9-s-20230311268558-dev-FP3. Mail is running just fine, but I updated from 1.7-s-20230111250406-dev-FP3, not from 1.8.1.

Did you try to reboot the phone again to see whether this makes a difference?
You could also clear the Mail App’s cache in Settings - Apps - Mail - Storage and cache - Clear cache.
(Don’t clear storage there without a backup of your Mail settings and without your mails being located safely not on the phone.)

Sorry about the previously… but I did make a feedback about 1.8.1 s dev also : it was very slow and buggy.
v 1.9 is not.
I tried to clear cache but it didn’t solve my issue. Then I installed k-9 Mail and it works just fine. Then I tried to clear cache and data of Mail. It allowed me to set it again. I worked for a while and then again it start closing immediately after launching. So I’m simply using k-9 Mail for now till further release.
With this compromise (using k-9 Mail instead of /e/ OS Mail app), v 1.9 s dev is very fast and snappy on FP3+.

Fine !

Thanks to the team.

update took some time but worked flawlessly - pleased to see that the (not working) lense is now gone (was no problem, just annoying). camera delay with moving objects seems faster now (will check this further).
thank you for the good work! never felt so satisfied with a phone/sw-combination :wink:

1.9-q-20230312268823-dev-a3xelte OTA download took longer than usual. I saw the download stop around 90% but was able to get it to resume. Actual update no issues.

Camera app (v 1.50.1) crashes on launch. As Post # 104.

Clear storage makes no difference. I did not notice the issue at first as I find Secure Camera performs better.

Edit It tuns out Secure camera takes stills but fails to take video.

In a logcat e.foundation Camera Errors start at this point.
