Andrew (feer56) having trouble manually flashing 1.2 onto his Keon. Calendar, Browser and Email app broken when flashed. Naoki is aware of this issue and is looking into it. -when did you flash your device? build ID? This would help us a bit, is it 1.2 stable
[Andrew/ feer56] Marketplace update issue on ZTE Open - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980001 - I can reproduce this on my ZTE Open
Might be helpful to obtain logs for this issue.
1) make sure the device is set to settings > Device info> more information > Developer > Remote Debugging = checked
2) in the console, and run "adb logcat -v time"
3) on the device, reproduce the issue
4) save off the logcat data to the text file, and attach it to the bug.
- Questions about hosting builds for updates
Firefox For Android Feedback
Firefox For Android
- Monitoring FF26 forums and feedback; nothing so far but it's only been 24 hours.
- Will be looking for SUMO 'web opener' in the new year to work on Firefox for Android and Firefox OS web compatibility aka making websites identified on SUMO forums and input use open web standards so they work everywhere
Anything else
- Quick feedback summary (mostly spanish/portuguese): Bold is stuff that is in significant numbers
- Features/Systemic:
- Whatsapp/line is really a big issue (as always)
- Other frequently requested features are Facebook image uploads (and image sharing in general), copy-paste and ringtones'.
- Updates are a bad experience. There's not a single bug that stands out but updates don't apply, updates don't have meaningful new features (this was a perf update mainly so people don't notice it), app updates aren't a great experience either.
- Bugs:
- Major crashing/instability. It seems to have gone down vs a couple weeks ago but there are still reports of people whose applications don't stay open.
- Doesn't handle lots of photos or songs well. No file manager. Can't manage music except through USB.
- Phone can lock during a call or Calls cut out (this may be the phone app crashing) -- not entirely clear what's going on but could be worth following up on.
- Sms messages are truncated intermittently while sending. Only one report but it's concerning.
- Overall: We seem to have really improved some of the performance/speed aspects as people aren't complaining about that as much. Updates have been really messy and I think I'd say that's still the most important thing to push for going forward as it means we can deliver better experiences.
- Features/Systemic:
- Non-spanish/portuguese feedback summary: Numbers are overall still too small but here are distinct and interesting observations.
- Concerns over how much dependence apps (and I assume e.me "apps") have on having a constant internet connection. It's possible that the infrastructure (in particular Poland/Greece) my not have caught up or that there's a more systematic connectivity problem or that people in some locales are more concerned about data usage.
- System updates have been a nightmare in poland. At least one mention of returning phones.
- More diversity in app requests it's not all whatsappwhatsappwhatsapp. People are asking for better games, watching movies on the SD card (not sure file format), "all the android".
- Apps are all English/Spanish/Polish/Portuguese. Very little content in German (and I imagine others)
- In Germany, users are much more positive but most of the people are responding to the open source "concept", not the phone itself.
Just so you know next week is our last meeting for 2013 for SuMo Mobile - satdav
