Upgrading from *official* 14.1 to 15.1 (feedback/issues)

Sometimes the connection to my Pebble get lost too. I need the full connection process to reconnect. In the Pebble BT menu I now have two Fairphones. Thats a little wierd, the BT address should be the same. Maybe this is based on BT and BTLE, but this behavior is new for me. On 14.1 the behavior was different.
@Thijs Did not tried to remove the battery yet.

I could not really prove it up to now, but i have the impression this rom uses more cores concurrently at higher clock frequency, as i think my phone gets warmer in use as with 14.1 and battery drains faster, even though idle drain is not noticably different.
Anyone else?

Apps, such as “Battery Charge Limit”, also no longer run under LineageOS 15.1. The program crashes immediately after starting.

Well my impression is, that the battery is lasting longer. But I made the observation via CPU-Z app, that at maximum 2 cores are sleeping. Core 0 and 3 seem always online with minimum 300 Mhz.
I’d be careful to consider this a general fact though…

It’s running for me, even though it sometimes crashes, but a restart or two afterwards it keeps running. As the crashes are seldom i have no logcat

Is Settings - Battery - Battery saver and performance - Performance profile
set to Efficiency already?

Yes, most often only two cores are running at minimum speed, but if there’s a jump, the or for cores jump maximum speed. Just coming to my mind that maybe i could see more with split windows, so i could get a grip on it…

Mine as well: goes up to 97°C (according to TWRP 3.1.1-1) when doing a backup.

Upgrade went fine.

There was an issue with lineage automatic updates. This will be fixed in next release, meaning that it should work in next-next release (at least for people with old camera).

It also runs fine for me…

Yesterday I did a battery swap and my devices were still there. So it is not 1-to-1 related.
Bluetooth on my headphones was acting weird as well: usually the buttons trigger the volume on the phone to change, but yesterday it did not (only on my headphones). This morning (after the swap) it did change volume on my phone again.
And there is Bug 33 and 37.

Major improvement : notification LED is blinking fast when set so in Silence app.

AT LAST !!

Isn’t possible to continue getting the updates for the 14.1 as it appear to be more stable?

I run LOS 15.1 13.08.18. Everytime I restart my phone, it says the SIM cards were changed (I use 2 SIMs).
Also Google Maps and eBay Kleinanzeigen no longer work - do these work for others? I will try and get a logcat for this (have to read into how to do this).

I did a fresh installation of LOS15.1 via TWRP:

  • did a backup of the actual version running (LOS 14.1 )
  • wiped all before (system, cache, data)
  • installed LOS and gapps zip packages
    Now all works fine, LOS-build-in music player works without the problems described here.

Since it wasn’t the same starting position, i wanted to set up the system again:

  • wipe again system, data, cache
  • restore the backup just created before
    Then this should have followed:
  • wipe system and cache, but this time not data
  • upgrade to LOS15.1, all apps and app data shold remain

But TWRP has given me error 255 for data partition. The only way I managed to get data partition again accesible was to format data,
But then all data from encrypted SD card was gone.

Before continuing tests, I would be good to now how to safely backup/restore between different versions.
Has anybody faced this also? Why this error 255 appears, how this can be avoided?

No. Lineage OS only tracks a single version at a time per device. You could stay on latest 14.1, though, there’s no major problem in delaying security updates some months.

I’ve been having a good time with my freshly installed Lineage 15.1, but when trying to update to the newest nightly (20180820) I get an install error from the Lineage OS updater.

Configuration:
I’m using a FP2 with the older camera modules. I did a complete wipe of my phone before installing 20180813. I’m using Open Gapps pico and haven’t rooted the phone. No encryption (yet).

What I’ve tried:
Deleting and redownloading the install 3 times. Restarting the phone of course. Charing the phone fully and then installing - without being connected to the charger.

Additional:
Probably not relevant, but the first time I tried to install the update, the install was denied because the battery level was <30%.

Is there any sort of error log that I can/should provide?

There is something wrong with the OTA but you can install it semi-automatically from Recovery:

  • download the update (same procedure as you have tried), but don’t try to install it
  • restart in recovery
  • install the file stored in the update folder (/data/lineageos_updates)
