Feedback for v2.9

/e/OS 2.8-t-official
not rooted

So far only two “minor” problems popped up, which I keep an eye on and will create a GitLab issue for if they persist:

  • Vanishing fingerprint: As of now, it happened two times that the first fingerprint in the list of saved fingerprints in “Settings” vanished. It took me some time to realise this, therefore I’m not quite sure, but I think it each happened while booting the phone.

  • DAVx crashed once and produced a davx5-debug.zip file containing a debug-info.txt and a logcat.txt file.

I have just updated to /e/OS 2.9 A14. The IMAP and SMTP password was set to the app password of my phone. Email download was not possible. After setting it to the main password (even with 2FA), the email download was possible again.
So there may be currently a bug that email access is only possible with the main password if 2FA is active?
EDIT: The mail app password is reset to the murena.io app password (i.e., the main password deleted) if the Murena account is synchronized unless the mail synchronization is deactivated in the Murena account settings of your smartphone.
According to the bug ticket Mail password overwritten by Account manager password, even if they are different accounts (#8607) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab, you also have to make sure that the most current email app version is installed: Just update it via App Lounge.
Current summary if you have 2FA activated on murena.io:

  • Update the email app to Version 6.711-2 (it should be listed in App Lounge).
  • Deactivate mail synchronization in Murena account settings
  • Set the IMAP and SMTP password to the main password of your murena.io account

Je viens de mettre à jour mon smartphone, la version installée est maintenant /e/OS 2.9 A14. Le mot de passe de IMAP et SMTP était configuré au mot de passe d’application. Le téléchargement de couriel n’était pas possible. Après avoir configuré le mot principal de murena.io, le téléchargement de couriel était de nouveau possible (même avec l’authentification à deux facteurs).
Il y a peut-être un bug que le téléchargement de couriel est seulement possible avec le mot de passe principal si l’authentification à deux facteurs est activée?
EDIT: Le mot de passe de l’application de couriel est réinitialisé au mot de passe généré (c’est-à-dire le mot principal effacé) si le compte Murena est synchronizé sauf si la synchronization de couriel est désactivée dans les paramètres de compte Murena du smartphone.
Selon la descripton de bug Mail password overwritten by Account manager password, even if they are different accounts (#8607) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab, il faut aussi avoir la version de l’application de couriel la plus récente: On peut la mettre à jour avec App Lounge.
Résumé si on a activé l’authentification à deux facteurs de murena.io:

  • Il faut mettre à jour l’application de couriel vers la version 6.711-2 (la version devrait être offert par App Lounge).
  • Il faut désactiver la synchronization de couriel dans les paramètres de compte Murena.
  • Il faut configurer le mot de passe prinicipal de murena.io pour IMAP et SMTP dans l’application de couriel.

I upgrade my critique on App Lounge. I just noticed coincidentally that several open source apps have not been updated for up to 12 months, which is unacceptable. So I am again dependent on f-droid being installed additionally and manually updating all open source apps. Very unsatisfying. Anyone else with that problem? Can someone open/update a ticket on Gitlab?

Thx, got email working. Initially the app did not take my pw as it absolutly needs my e.email as username and not the murena.io address.

May be time to switch to thunderbird mail, an update that change password to email account is totally unexpected !

Since the update, device has been working well however I noticed that usb has been locked inside of the developer options which threw me a bit. I had to click enable usb debugging again in order to transfer files as all options were blacked out without enabling usb debugging.

Aside from this, no complaints. Thanks as always

Wtf mail app resets the murena login password back to the non-working app password. So after some hours mail app shows auth. failed error.

Anything can happen with an update, even if it shouldn’t.
This mail issue was described before, was acknowledged as a regression by the developers, and a fix should be underway … Mail password overwritten by Account manager password, even if they are different accounts (#8607) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab

Is this before, or after applying this? …

Hi, i’m waiting for the 2.9 release (A14 version) of xiaomi 10t lite (Gauguin). It was already released as A14 on official LineageOS

Mail APP keeps on crashing, also with build version 6.711-2 :unamused:

My phone received a “new system update available” notice a few days ago. When trying to update/install, download seems to complete but actual install process stops there and hangs with screen as shown/attached below. Have rebooted and re-attempted the process several times without success.

Please advise…

The navigation bar in the bottom is elevated about 1.5cm when holding the Tablet in Landscape. This covers the buttons needed in several apps. When holding the Tablet in Portrait, all is ok.

I guess you are using BlissLauncher, you could delete the storage if you didn’t before. That will order everything a new and might fix your problem.

Good day everybody.

Is there a reason why there is still no e.2.9-a14 posted for the Galaxy S10 series?
Or is it misplaced?

Is there any other place I can download this build, it is just for testing.

Asked 3 hours ago :wink:. @Manoj usually comments after seeing and asking the devs.

Ah ok, did not see that.
But that question is also not complete there are e.2.9-t versions available, but I don’t see the e.2.9-a14.
For S10 series
