After doing the migration for the OTA fix (build number c55f5cadfd9), I’ve noticed some quick battery draining and random reboots, strangely happened 3 times whilst using Twitter. Everything seems fine at the moment but keeping an eye on the battery.
+1 more satisfied user using the LineageOS Port for the FP2 with device-encryption! 
I wonder if it’s possible to get a number of acutal LOS-users with the FP2? Well, the installation is still some kind of tricky, but I guess there are already quite a lot of people using it.
Did somebody already experienced a problem with the LED not working while the phone is being charged?
Furthermore after I unplugged it, it rebooted right away (twice already)…
@chrmhoffmann, do you have a patron-account or a paypal-address or a bitcoin-hashcode or some other way to receive some money? I know open source doesn’t need to be paid, but out of respect for the work you have done, I want to spend some money!

Yes indeed, for me also: no LED when charging. I’m running 14.1-20170626-UNOFFICIAL-FP2 with drivers 4275.1-FP2-0-09.
I never had that behaviour…

Hi all,
I got a question about privacy irt Lineage OS. The first time I used this app a pop-up appeared with a url which was something (it disappeared quite quickly) like ‘connectivitycheck.gstatic…’ Does this mean that I’m still captivated in the G-web everytime I use the default browser app / can google follow me if I use this app?
tnx!
Looks like the site that Android attempts to access on a WiFi connectivity change to check whether there is a captive portal on that network. If it finds that there is one (because the connection attempt returns data other than the expected response), you get a the ‘tap to sign into network’ notification.
So probably not related to any specific app, but related to the OS.

It happens when you connect to wifi. Then Android does a connectivity check and requests a HTTP 204 from a Google server in california. If the wifi is an open with portal login, then the window appears. Otherwise nothing happens, but the connectivity check happens everytime you put wifi on. If you want to disable this, you need to do following command:
settings put global captive_portal_mode 0
You have to re-enable this, if you want to connect to a network through a captive portal. Otherwise you can coose any other server for connectivity check with this commands:
settings put global captive_portal_http_url $URL
settings put global captive_portal_https_url $URL
For example noisyfox generates HTTP 204 (http(s)://www.noisyfox.cn/generate_204). Thats how Copperhead OS solves this issue

Hi Pat, tnx ! Unfortunately I don’t know how I can write these commands on my phone. Can you tell me what I have to do to be able to do this?
First activate “Developers Options” in “Settings”. Go to “About phone” and press a few times on “Build number”.
Then go to “Developers Options” and enable “Root access” (App only) and “Local terminal”.
Now you can open the Terminal-App. Enter
su
and then the commands i write in last post. After that its your choice to disable root again.

Great! tnx 
. For now I just disabled the connectivity check.
Hi everybody, another question on privacy. I saw in Privacy Guard that the app ‘Android System’, after putting my phone on, monitored my location (fine) 18 times! There are more issues like this. For example the ‘Phone Services’ app used ‘write sms’ 350 times and ‘read sms’ 55 times since activiting my phone just 18 minutes ago.
What’s happening here and why? How can I prevent this from happening?
tnx again!
Strange, i only receive notification mail after your responses, dupdup.
“Phone Services” acts as middleware somewhere between modem and SMS app. It’s similar with “Android System” regarding location, but it’s difficult to track in detail. In this case i think it’s sufficient to block communication of these modules with iptables (AFWall+). It takes some time to find a good configuration which doesn’t prevent essential functionality to work, but then it’s a powerful filter.
You’re welcome
I’ve been using Lineage for about two weeks. I have three issues (well more, but I’ll start with these two)
- I cannot change my profile picture. I can select the foto, but after saving, nothing changes. I would just like to know, if you can change it, or if it is a bug. But no need for fixing - just want to know if it’s PEBCAC.
- Does anybody use low energy Bluetooth with Lineage? I have a pedometer (Schrittzähler), which needs GPS-on to connect (after writing to the app-company, it’s because of low energy bluetooth) I switch on GPS, but the app does not recognize it - so I can’t connect the pedometer.
- In the Settings -> Developer settings --> USB-config I chose MTP, but each time I connect USB, it’s in charging mode… WHY?
But overall totally happy!!!
It’s a safety feature - if anyone finds your phone and connects it to USB, he can’t read your data.
I think it’s standard Android behaviour.

Same here. But you can change the user picture within the contacts app - it is the picture of the contact “ICH” (German) or “ME” (English).
Edit: Sorry, I mixed up profile picture with user picture. What I meant was, I cannot change the user picture directly within Settings > Users, but I am able to change the user picture within the contacts app. But I am not sure if this is what you meant?
Bluetooth Low Energy works well for me with a Pebble 2 with or without GPS enabled.
Is the non-working UPnP a general LineageOS issue, or is only the
FP2 port affected? I always used DroidUPnP from F-Droid.
I have no other LineageOS device here, so I cannot test.
It seems to be a problem with the DroidUPnP app. It got an update, that isn’t in
F-Droid yet.
But I noticed several times, that when I leave my wifi in the morning, I am completely
disconnected at work. Mobile internet does not work then. Disabling and re-enabling
mobile data does not help. The statusbar does not show any error. I have to reboot.
I was not albe to reproduce this. Maybe the switching from LTE to Edge and back.
Anybody else with such an issue?
I have the same issue. Status says, that it’s connected via LTE, but no LTE-Icon does show up in the statusbar and only a reboot solves this. Not a big problem though. 
Same issue with me. Doesn’t happen very often but I have to restart the phone when it does
