No audio after some time, have to reboot

@CLMA31

this is meant for Jolla to implement as a mitigation?

Yes. But if Utilities is a QML file, it might be editable / patchable

These would help a lot!

Hi. I’ve been browsing this Sailfish development a lot now and wondering how software bug detection is done in this operating system. I’ve been involved in Apple’s beta development group as a standard user for over a decade and there is a great “feedback” app for beta users where the situation/crash/bug can be captured in a variety of ways and sent to the developers. Is there such a thing in the Sailfish operating system? Greetings (translated wirh google)

Not that I know of. SFOS is Linux so sometimes more oriented towards CLI tools then others. So anyone can capture logs and attached them to the bug report. Either here or on the github.

But there is a nice native bug reporting app Bugger available.

Idk if that can fullfill what you need but here are some tools, script and description:

I spend day in a place where signal was spotty to say at least. Xperia 10 III with latest version showed switching quite often from very poor 2,5G to decent 4G. Also had wifi enabled but went from time to time on the edge where it lost the wifi signal and got it back. I lost the audio around 5 times in less than 24h. Also while driving back to home. Some times the utilities restart solved the problem but other times I had to reboot. I thought I report here still while remembering. Will wait for the next version upgrade as talked in the community meeting if with that we can see improvements.

Ive noticed similar behaviour to this also on my volla quintus. I had assumed it was a volla/mtk/custom port issue, but I will check further next time I notice it.

For me, pulseaudio restart doesnt fix it, and one thing i noticed was that the pa sink appeared to be set to voicecall, but changing it manually didnt do anything, and it remained as voicecall.

Tested restarting ohmd yet? This seems to be universally working for everyone affected.

No audio after some time, have to reboot

for me, the bug is with ohm. it dies after routing audio for phone calls, after every outgoing phone call. this fixes it without restarting the phone: devel-su systemctl restart ohmd systemctl --user restart pulseaudio sometimes restarting pulse after restarting ohmd is unnecessary, sometimes it is. i have a shortcut with sfbm to run both if i double-press camera. this workaround is more or less fine now, EXCEPT: rarely, restarting ohmd will cause lipstick to crash and i have to wait for it to…

Audio-Watchdog for Xperia 10 III: A workaround for call‑audio dropouts on SailfishOS

[ENGLISH] Hi everyone, I’ve created a small script designed specifically for the Sony Xperia 10 III running SailfishOS, to act as a workaround for the well‑known issue where audio breaks during incoming or outgoing calls. You can find it here: GitHub. What it does: This tool doesn’t aim to diagnose the root cause — that part is already well understood in the community. Instead, it periodically checks the audio subsystem and attempts to recover audio automatically when it detects that the cal…

I have done a workaround for this bug.
I need help for testing it.
