Have updated the Volla (old Volla, GS290) from 4.4.0.72 to 4.5.0.21 using sfos.upgrade / reboot / post_sfos-upgrade, used it a few days (worked fine) and then I dared to update to 4.5.0.24, again using sfos.upgrade / reboot / post_sfos-upgrade.
Since the last update a freezing touchscreen problem occurs very frequently. If this happens, I have to push pwr button, push pwr button again and attach finger on FP-sensor. Mostly it works then for a longer time (until it freezes the next time). Everything else works fine from user’s sight.
Also I tweaked around a little with this file:
vi /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/lockscreen/EdgeIndicator.qml
initially to remove annoying arrows when unlocking device, but then I saw that there are some timings and delays that affect the reaction speed of keyboard when typing and also the frequency of occurance of ‘freezing touchscreen’.
Q’s:
Is there a chance to ‘try harder’ to find the real reason for the freezing touchscreen occurance?
Was it generally a mistake to upgrade from 4.5.0.21 to 4.5.0.24, should I better have refrained from doing so?
This is what I’ve done to the /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/lockscreen/EdgeIndicator.qml file:
- commented out the arrow image source,
- tweaked around in the ‘transition’ duration and velocity values at the end of the file.
Q: Did I unknowingly break something or set inadmissible values?
