[SOLVED] Problems with Samsung S7 from /e/ foundation

/e/OS Devices /e/OS SmartPhones

I just bought from /e/ a Samsumg Galaxy S7 (DM-G930F) and, overall, I’m very happy of it.

I did nothing special with it except installing a few common apps.
System version is 0.7-2019062814891

However, here are three problems I have noticed :

  1. Screen Auto Rotate doesn’t work. Fails in Bliss, the web browser, Message and Contacts apps, Simple Gallery (app I have installed)… Rotates correctly in Gallery, Camera and Maps default Apps.

  2. Bliss crashes when trying to resize custom widgets. Easy to reproduce : Add a custom resizable widget, long tap on it => Bliss crashes

  3. I have disabled touch vibration (Settings > Sounds > Other sounds). It works well with both Samsung S7 system keys but the Android keyboard continues to vibrate.

I don’t know how to report bugs (neither if I have to) but I wanted to share my experience.

Hi @flopiflop you can report bugs here. Please add logs generated after you try these actions as that will help identify if this OS / build / device specific as I just tried these on another device and they were all working.

  1. After enabling “developper options” and “ADB debugging”, Auto Rotate started working. Still working after disabling those options. Not sure what I did that got it resolved. Anyway, there seems to be an hidden and minor bug about it as I am not the only one experiencing it : Auto Rotate works ... eventually
    However, Bliss pages still don’t rotate : could you confirm that this is the expected behavior ?

  2. OK I’ll report the bug about the Bliss crash

  3. Solution given by “Unknown” in the video above works perfectly.
