Continued issues with apps relying on google.maps libraries

Hey everybody,

I just completed all these steps and was able to install apps like Öffi and ÖBB Scotty successfully which was not the case before.

But as soon as I start these apps they crash immediately.

I have the FP-OS (Caju) installed, without any Google-apps apart from Maps (v. 7.6.1 installed via apk file). Since Maps did not install the required .jar and .xml-file in the right directories, I had to download and copy them there before I went through MrJekylls instructions.

anybody any suggestions?:confused:

thanx in advance

Please add to the List:

I would like to get better LED Notification.

When on charger, Notification won't be shown. It shoul be possivle to start blinking or something else than.

Also only the first notification is combined with the color. If after an email (green) I get a SMS (blue) I would love, if the LED could light up afterwards in two colors (more often...).

THanks

[Fairphone 1] benkxda:
Thanks guys. I added your problems and workarounds (and reminders).

About the notification light. This is really bad. If the Fairphone is plugged, it's ok if the notification light is on. It should blink at least, if there is another notification like weather warning, e-mail, messenger, flight reminder... [MENTION=5452757]haiag[/MENTION] do you know if the LED light is a multicolor LED? If so, have you tried one of the apps to setup the notification light? As I am on custom ROMs and their notification LED settings are enough for me, I don't know about these apps, but heard about Light Flow Lite - LED Control, maybe this can help you. Also, it's possible that there is a module for the swiss knife app/framework Xposed, doing the same. If it works for you, tell us, thanks.

[Fairphone 1] 9x6:
To at least get a notification when the phone is plugged in, I disabled the charging LED in gravity box (Power tweaks > other), which is available as Xposed module (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316070). This means that I need to check the statusbar to see if I'm correctly plugged in / fully charged, but that the notification LED does start blinking when something happens (e-mail, SMS, etc). As I was already using gravity box for other reasons, and I don't necessarily need to differentiate between different types of notification, I haven't looked around for other apps. A native solution for combining different statuses would be nice though.

I've been facing a few issues since I made the update:

• Camera app isn't working anymore. The app opens normally and everything looks just fine, but the image is black (like I was holding something right in front the camera and there wouldn't be any light getting in the lens at all). All the buttons are there, but when I touch them, nothing happens. Some buttons (like HDR) make the app crash.

• Gravity Box isn't working anymore. "Gravity Box System Framework not responding". I double-checked that the module is activated in the Xposed app. I tried updating and even completely reinstalling Gravity Box and even the whole framework, but nothing helped.

• Some media codecs seem to be broken. I can't watch videos in the gallery (the app freezes for about half a minute and then crashes) nor on YouTube (all I see are a few green pixels appearing and disappearing randomly on black background, no matter if I view the video in the Browser or in the YouTube app).

Has anyone had similar problems?

Camera is black - reboot "solves" the problem

I also had the problem that the camera was no longer working, that the picture was just black. I have no clue why and did not observer any pattern. But up to now, a reboot of the phone solved the problem.

(By the way, I actually have to reboot my phone more frequently. And the phone is also rebooting more frequently on its own than in the beginning. However, this is a pattern, I did observer also with other Android phones in the past.)

Limit battery loading

Hi,

is it possible to automatically stop charging the batteries when they have around 70% or 80% as it is possible on some notebooks? That would allow to greatly extend the lifetime of the batteries, which don't really like to be charged until they have 100%. Of course, you can usually disconnect your phone from the charger after a certain time, but that's uncomfortable and not an option if you use USB tethering.

Regards,

Benedikt
[Fairphone 1] paalsteek:
For lithium batteries that's actually not true. There are studies that it is better to keep them as charged as possible and discharging them completely harms the most.
[Fairphone 1] benkxda:
Charging up to 100% is usually not as healthy as for e.g. 90%. The last few percentages are the toughest and wear the battery (accumulator) the most. This is valid for NiCad batteries (accumulators), but there we have another problem, the memory effect.

However, my Ultrabook offers me this option. For my Nexus 7 I found a great kernel, which offers me to charge up to 93% instead of 100%. I assume you won't have a chance for this settings, if your kernel does not support it. You might find several apps or Xposed modules which offers this feature, but without a matching kernel this will not work.

Maybe [MENTION=361777]chrmhoffmann[/MENTION] can take a quick look into this discussion.
[Fairphone 1] akiro75:
Hi,

I found that the problem was made by "Profile Scheduler" (on play is ProfileScheduler) and some profiles or rules which override the settings.

I found another issue but probably linked to Google Sync: I performed a hard reset (also for repartitioning the filesystems) and I restored app and others configuration (through "Backup and Restore") .

But when I added my Google account some elements didn't sync (Browser, Contact, Gmail and Calendar)... so the solution was skip the "2-step verification" and use the "application-specific passwords".

Very strange. :-/
[Fairphone 1] chrmhoffmann:
Hi,

It would be great if the fairphone team could look into that. I found that the power profile in the fp1 is garbage so I guess the system reports wrong numbers anyway?

I know nothing about batteries and charging cycles. But it would be great if the vendor who pitches this as a sustainable phone would help us get the best out of battery life.

Can any Fairphone owner imagine how this would look like or if it makes sense for you too?

This is a feature request and we don't know, if Fairphone will take care of it. On the other side maybe someone can make a mod or you have to install a custom launcher, which is usually not that bad idea.

True. The manufacturer also reduces the maximum capacity to improve lifetime of the battery.

I have the same experience as you, I never have had to replace a battery on any Android smartphone. Furthermore, I never have had to replace a battery from any mobile device (incl. cellphone, PDA, iPhone, Windows Mobile, notebook). I usually depends on how you handle your device and battery.

My father has an old Dell notebook, about 7 years of age and had to change battery twice. I have an 8 year old HP, still first battery package - of course it lasts not 3,5 hours anymore, it's more like 1,5 hours, but as it's not my main notebook anymore, it's not a problem. Now it only has to survive a trip from one wall outlet to the next ;)

Information request, android update policy

[MENTION=1656095]benxda[/MENTION] and

Can you please add a question about the update policy to the list with questions and issues?

The last I've read at FP forum is that updating to android 4.4 is not so easy as MediaTek optimeze the FP chipset

"getting 4.4 is quite difficult as it first must go through the chipset manufacturer to optimize the Fairphone chipset for 4.4 and then pass on to our software developers, Kwamecorp."

I am a bit worried that we are not going to get the chipset drivers so limited updates from the community but that FP also only can give very limited updates.

[MENTION=5382171]joemier[/MENTION] I would really like to know what the latest information is in regard of prolonged software support.

Mood Background and random reboots.

Uh, for a second I thought you were linking to f*cebook. \o/ Yay for updates. Give us more nuts! (And never, ever, peanuts, please. It isn't a nut, in the first place. Also, allergies. ;) )

Interesting collection of fixes. Especially the "Dutch" sms-app bug. I assume FP has quite a user base in the Netherlands, so that might be a serious bias of users reporting that problem, right? Hope other languages are not as well affected...

I can confirm that a lot of the stability issues go away if you deactivate the 'mood background'. [MENTION=4465234]benkxda[/MENTION] : If you are in contact with [MENTION=5382171]joemier[/MENTION] and his colleagues, could you probably mention this again?

Disabling the mood background seems to have helped against (in order of annoyance)

- random reboots during phone calls

- inability to turn on display during phone calls (by pressing power button)

- random persistent volume-bar on screen after using volume button

- (more or less random) inability to change volume in locked state

- erratic flicker of display when locked and in playback mode of some 3rd party music apps

If nobody is going to object in the near future, I will also include this Info on the wiki.

FYI: Disabled the mood background at the beginning of last week. Only one semi-random reboot since then after updating GravityBox (without any dialog, that is - reboot was required anyway).

Don't know Fairphone/Kwame really know about this.

"This can also happen faster when using more complex lock screen widgets or keyguards" is only mentioned concerning volume-button related reboots, not random ones. (Also, I wonder why they don't specifically write it also concerns the default mood background!)
[Fairphone 1] benkxda:
Thank you, also for your figures, sent to Joe.

The update procedure for companies is like men giving birth to a child imo. When you compare this to the update cyles from very stable custom ROM, you just think companies are lazy. But there are several regulations, also with authorities they have to follow.

HTC published a website (HTC Software Updates), which shows up the mess. They made a image about it, see below:

I think the Q&A section is a better place for this, right. But if someone feels lost and alone and don't get a answer for a question, it's also fine to post in here.

Somehow I expect a notification from Fairphone here on XDA as well. Give and get - we give out issues and problems and similar and should get a reply to it, I think. However, thanks for the heads up.

I just sent a message to Joe some minutes ago. Thanks for the list of annoyance. It's a big bunch of problems you can avoid by deactivating the mood background, wow.

I would feel much better about it if someone could confirm that all these really go away (or: get somewhat better =) ) when disabling the mood background.

So, can someone confirm?

Oh, BTW, I really liked that feature. Also had word of mouth from a FP user in London who has been heard to say something in the line that it's the first phone which get's her exited about draining the battery. :laugh:

However, the mood background went alarmingly red to soon. Someone who knows about (psychological) perception of colours should have a look into this in the future. I only know people in psychoacoustics, though. Still going to ask them.

Requests to Fairphone - answers from Fairphone?

It's been five weeks since the first batch of requests to Fairphone has been sent to [MENTION=5382171]joemier[/MENTION] by [MENTION=4465234]benkxda[/MENTION], and while some have been (rudimentally) addressed, others have not been dealt with at all. From what I've read here, the Facebook page, and the roadmap for the 1.2 update, I'm still waiting for an answer on this:

How will the Fairphone users on AOSP get the updates?

To be honest, the answer to this question gets less and less important every week, because I am under the impression that Caju created as many new problems as it was supposed to fix. This gives me little room for hope that update 1.2 will do any better - and AOSP has been running smoothly since day one. Still, it would be nice to get an update for the camera, so please advise.

MediaTek driver source code still incomplete / not open / not developer friendly

This question has been asked on the support forums, here on XDA and on Facebook for a month straight now, and other than this reply on open source in this year's Fairphone, there hasn't been much news - even though it is the issue that raises the most questions: What can & will Fairphone do about it? Why did Fairphone choose MediaTek if they knew about their driver source code policies? Or did Fairphone simply not know about this?

Awesome graphic, thanks for that!

And I know it has been said again and again, but I'd like to make it clear: A smartphone that cannot be updated is not only a poor device by Fairphone's standards of longevity - it is a poor device by any standards. To put it bluntly: As it stands right now, the software part of Fairphone's roadmap has had a 40% success rate:

Made with care

Precious materials

Lasting value

Clear deals

Smart design

I don't mean to rant here, since I do appreciate all of the work Fairphone has done so far: They have listened to the user base, and tried to fix most of the problems - except (to my limited knowledge) for one of the biggest issues of them all.

Can confirm, they only show up without the country code, and then only sometimes (click to enlarge):
[Fairphone 1] boondiordna:
I vote for "more than cosmetics". ^^ Thanks for the workaround, but I would now have to update so many contacts now that it's not really feasible. :-/
