Re: OTA-7 on bq e4.5 - first impressions

 

OK. I have had this bug on my Nexus 4 (mako) the whole time before purchasing the bq e4.5 through one of the first flash sales. I have since had it on my bq handset through every release that has come, although it sometimes manifests itself a bit more frequently than at other times.

I practically always have the wifi switched on and, lately, frequently also the GSM network at the same time.

The bug does not manifest itself consistently every time, but very often. My impression is that I get it more than half of the time.

I will update my Nexus 4 and check if I still get it there.

Yes, I wasn't pointing the bug out to say "it's under control" but rather as a rallying point for comments instead of this thread and for people to be able to monitor the status.

We didn't get back to OP to investigate more because we don't have clear investigation steps. What we need now is what we needed ever since the bug opened: an understanding of how to reproduce the bug.

I've seen it myself, but I don't know what triggers it.

    but nobody got back to him to investigate more, I guess :(

        It's difficult to reliably reproduce and determine what's
        causing it.

            Hi all,

            I have the same issue with the "on" button. Often I press
            it and nothing happens then I press it again and the
            display turns on and immediately it turns off again. I
            have to do it for two or three times before the situation
            stabilizes.

            Another issue very frustrating is that passing from wifi
            to data connection something is broken. I see the icon of
            the connection "H" or "3G" but almost every time the
            connection doesn't work. I have to to switch airplane mode
            or data connection on/off a couple of times.

            I notice also the lags but it seems a bit better than OTA6.

            I wonder if a factory reset could be resolve the problems.

            ciao

                Same here, not an issue at all in my case.

                Same impression; smoothness is not exceptional, but
                good. Very good in
                browser and webapps.

                3 seconds, 1 second here. Not too bad, but I do not
                use SMS very often.

                1200 names, few tens here.

                Yes, we should try to compare behaviour in similar
                conditions, or taking
                in account differences.
