have you tried a diefferent kernel? some of them are built with new drivers, others with older ones as far as i know, it may be related to that… but about your first problem, it works fine for me on pocophone …

Thx for responding so quickly, what do u mean with another kernel?
There are cmunities that compile custom kernels for a lot of devices, these are different then the stock kernel that is shipped with /e/.
Hi, I did experience these glitches mentioned by Eelo above after having OTA firmware upgrade. At first, when I installed Pie build everything was running smoothly, I wonder these OTA updates are causing these glitches. As for sms messages send/receive, it works fine for me.

Hi @Eelo, after having read your post I, I have to confirm, I noticed as well the glitches, as you call them: there were and there are moments of freezes. Not al lot but still occurring from time to time.
This is something I noticed too since I moved to Pie and not before. I myself wasn’t able so far to reproduce those glitches in a way what I would be able to open in issue in our bugtracker. Would you @Eelo able to reproduce and describe them for the bug tracking system?
I wonder, if there is a chance that all this described behavior is related to bliss and there’s a chance that this is going to be resolved with Bliss v2. @Manoj, would you mind to see this with the developer?

Pl create logs for these issue and attach in the Gitlab. That is the only way to identify where these issues are coming from. Not seeing them in other devices so will need the logs here.
@Eelo, your problems with receiving/sending SMS I did not experience in the way you described it. I wonder if you tried already a different SMS app, just to veryfy if this would esolved the problem or not.
If you don’t mind could you please install "“Silence” from the AppsStore and test?

Today, I observed some hickups with /e/ 0.8/Pie on Pocophone. I reported that in the buck tracker. Not sure, whether this is similar to the behavior that occurred to you, but I thought I just share them with you: https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/1190

For me, the problems with sms and with freezes and unintentional menu dropping, etc. started right after installing pie.
I tried several sms apps (signal, qsms, pulse) to see if it would solve the problem: it did not. I did not try the Silence app yet. So I’ll give it a try too.
I’ll try and create a logfile. Those freezes and weird touch problems occur all the time. It’s getting to a point where I just want to go back to oreo, cuz this is just not usable anymore.
I don t face the glitches with this no gravity kernel you can find here, i’m using the latest version of it, 1.4.0. All you need to do is download the zip, boot in recovery and press install in twrp and flash the downloaded kernel.zip hope that works for you until the /e/-team solves it

@ralxx I tested texting with silence. I can now send sms messages, but I can not receive them. I tested it with 2 different numbers and providers.
Next to that, when i try to import the text database from the default sms app, the Silence app crashes.
Yes please, and share your experience then.
@ralxx I made a topic with logfile on gitlab https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/1201

So I have installed that kernel u mentioned. I must say, it helped a lot. A lot of the screen glitches disappeared. I still have drop down menu’s that out of nothing just come down while using the phone and incidental screen freezes. But it’s a big difference then before the current kernel.
I’ll make a new logfile when I have that drop down menu glitch, I’ll post that on the gitlab topic.

I still have the problem that I cannot receive sms messages. So far I have tried:
the default /e/ msg app–> could not send or receive, qsms–> same as default
Signal–>same as default,
silence–> could send sms but not receive
Just a little update from me: I’m experiencing more and more glitches again. More screen freezes and more drop down menu’s dropping down. I’m getting to point where I’m considering going back to Android 8 again. I’m just getting more and more annoyed when using my phone and that’s just not right.
@Manoj can u tell me if I want to go back from pie to oreo, if I have to install default is first again? And do u happen to know which version that is?
The return to Oreo is definitely not recommended. On most Xiaomi devices it can create issues.
@ralxx are you also facing these issues on the Poco with the latest builds?
Hmm, that’s a pity. So should I go back to default os and then reflash /e/ on pie again?
Do u think that certain screen issues I am facing, can be caused by a screenprotector aswell?
