The Volla 22 (Gigaset GS5) Thread

Hardware Adaptation
#528

I was just comparing this with the GS5 since they have a number of different odd behaviors. Both drain on wifi. But the GS5 doesn’t display this choose the network issue. We had noticed that they seem to pick different interfaces (wlan0 vs. wlan1). I’m guessing that the solution is something like disabling the extra interfaces?

Ah, ok. I’ve been doing this ‘by’ hand. This is the situations app from the jolla store? In any case, With moderate (1 hour active with minimal network use) I had managed to get over 5 days out of the GS5.

@piggz thank you very much for this port which is running very good on my Rephone.
I am still in the process of setting everything up. So I’d like to ask, before I have to do it again :wink: Is there a reason why the used/free space seems to be only half of the capacity of the available 128GB?

No It is the version from here:

I don’t know yet, how long battery lasts with situations. I have that configured just since the day before yesterday. But judging from the powerconsumption so far, the 5 days with VERY moderate use seem to be realistic.

Regarding the wlan interfaces, I don’t know if it is really that trivial to deactivate one interface. I’m too much user for that. I hope that @piggz can deliver some more information or maybe even a solution. The question is, why are there two interfaces. Are there really two Wifi modules build in???

Is it ok to go for 0.24?

#535

@piggz, the volla22 is still at .21, or?

#536

i think .21

#537

Flashed my Volla (GS290) half an hour ago using UBports Installer, it’s on 4.5.0.19 now.

#538

You should all update to .21 … even if you are on .21, you should refresh and update to get a small update i just made.

You should then try to update to .24 … if everything works as expected, you should get a warning that you will break your system. If it doesnt do this, still dont update because i havnt make a .24 yet :slight_smile:

Did ya’ fix networking :wink: The update did in fact install without much ado. A reboot succeeded. Stuff works! I do believe all’s well. Now if that transformer training run would finish, I could call it a night.

#542

I’m on holliday and I’m not planning to make updates until I’m home again. Can anybody tell what improvement the small update will bring? Does it improve the situation with Wifi? If so I’m tempted…

#543

I was too nosy and installed the update. Everything worked fine. BUT Patchmanager isn’t working anymore. The patches getting applied have no impact anymore…

#544

From IRC yesterday:

@piggz poetaster: the only change is that it should warn you about breaking your system if you update to a version that doesn’t exist

The wifi issue has numerous side effects. Can’t print via seaprint when directly connected via dhcp, can’t use QMLLive debugging … reading docs…

Try and edit etc/connman/main-mtk.conf… in the NetworkBlacklist section, add wlan1 (or wlan0, whichever suits) to see if it works better with just 1 interface.

Hmmm. set

NetworkInterfaceBlacklist = p2p,usb,rmnet,rev_rmnet,ccmni-lan,wlan0

reboot, still there:

32: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 3000
    link/ether 58:9e:c6:3e:a4:58 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Same symptoms.
EDIT. the above was

ip addr
ifconfig doesn’t show wlan0, for what it’s worth. This is ifconfigs output with the above blacklist wlan0:

Is this also valid for the Volla / GS290 or is this special Volla 22 stuff?

#548

Anyone here have a Volla22 and NOT a GS5 or rephone? I’m just curious if we can find some deviation between them?
