304 | Core | Bug Report | Low | bluetooth serial port sleep causes lost / frozen connec ... | Closed | |
Task Description
I experienced (reliably) 3 times that if I had an idle ppp/rfcomm connection to my phone, it would eventually freeze so that the phone reported no active bluetooth connection and the pandora ppp would still think that the connection is active, but no data would flow. Killing pppd and re-trying would fail opening of the rfcomm link with "Host is down".
Disabling & enabling bluetooth "fixed" this so that pppd worked again (so it is not the phone that was "down").
Adding these lines to op_bluetooth_work.sh (apparently atleast) fixed it for me:
add between lines 14-15:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omap_uart.0/sleep_timeout
(or at any place during enable for that matter)
And to disable (before exit 0, line 30) to save power when bluetooth is off and restore normal settings:
echo 10 > /sys/devices/platform/omap_uart.0/sleep_timeout
I remember mentioning this way back when I last tested bluetooth, but got a reply that this should not be needed because we have flow control between the bt chip and pandora. But if a sleeping serial port loses a character when somebody sends a burst to it, what could flow control do? If it reported not ready to receive, the character would never be sent (and things would freeze...). If it reports ready to receive (what I think it does) the character will be lost. One would need to periodically disable the serial port sleep (and enable ready to receive) for a moment to check for pending data, but I think this would use more power than keeping the serial port active and/or possibly cause way too big delays.
I'm not really certain of this thing (whether this is a workaround, hack or a real fix... and whether my interpretation of what is happening is correct - i have no real proof), but I think that reporting what I've found is better than not. (And am I the only user of bluetooth with an old phone for internet (ppp+rfcomm, not pan)? ...) |

131 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | bluetooth drivers read timeout too trigger-happy/logic ... | Closed | |
Task Description
Shamelessly plugged from the forums, to get proper bug tracking and notifications on this. My post:
@notaz:
+ /* there hould be no rx in progress at this point */
+ if (info->rx_skb != NULL) {
+ dev_err(info->dev, "Receive timed out, %i done, %li left, "
+ "LSR=%02x, IER=%02x\n", info->rx_skb->len + 1,
+ info->rx_count, hci_h4p_inb(info, UART_LSR),
+ hci_h4p_inb(info, UART_IER));
+ info->rx_timed_out = 1;
+ }
Could you share your rationale for that comment in drivers/bluetooth/hci_h4p/core.c? (Oh and there's a typo, too :P )
EDIT: Asking this because commenting that block out changed status of bluetooth (for me) from unusable (can receive ~20-500kB of data before ppp connection halting) to fully working - used to have big problems playing 32kbps AAC stream (max 2 min), now already 4 mins of 96kbps, but i still think we need some receive timeout mechanism, but this one (as it currently stands) doesnt work.
Notaz's reply:
I don't really remember, it was more than 1.5 years ago. That driver is a hack, will need to review it, does it work stable with that code removed?
My reply:
For the non-IRC people:
urjaman on IRC said:
(22:47:45) urjaman: notaz: about stability: i'm on irc atm with that driver, its been playing internet radio for a few hours without problems now, but i don know for sure.
(22:48:00) urjaman: *dont know
(22:50:11) urjaman: my logic: if the serial port _never_ misses a byte it should be ok - IMO scary without some receive timeout, but works for me |

320 | Core | Bug Report | Low | Bluetooth connection lost after wake-up from sleep mode | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When an internet connection was established through a mobile phone (Android, tethering) via bluetooth, the internet connection will not be re-established when the Pandora was sent to sleep and woken up again. The Pandora seems to be connected to the mobile phone, but no internet connection can be established, not even when manually trying to connect. The only way out is to disable bluetooth and enable it again.
I had similar problems with WiFi, before notaz tweaked the system (http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/11416-wifi-mysteries-resolved-once-and-for-all-—-power-saving-is-clearly-the-culprit/?p=249036). |

If you boot the system with the lid closed, the backlight will still be on when you get to the desktop. You have to lift the lid for an instant and then close again to shut it off.

Task Description
On my Pandora, due to bad internal WiFi, I use an Edimax EW-7811Un USB WiFi adapter, which has a status-LED, flickering according to the network activity.
After disabling USB-host through the settings menu, the WiFi functionality is gone, but the device's LED is still on. So some current must still flow into the USB device.
The LED now has a permanent light, no flickering! This lack of "device intelligence" indicates that the device was indeed turned off, just current flowing directly to the LED circuit unaltered).
I can repeat the aforementioned steps many times, the behavior is the same.
As soon as I then first physically unplug and reinsert the device, the LED remains off eventually.
From then on, every further issuing of "Disable USB-host" through the settings menu turns the device LED completely off.
Smells like a kernel bug to me! As it requires one real un/re-plugging, from then on works ok. |

237 | Core | Bug Report | Critical | /dev/mmcblkN - N sometimes points to left, sometimes to ... | Closed | |
Task Description
SPECIFICATION:
According to http://pandorawiki.org/SD_compatibility_list
/dev/mmcblk0 is the left SD card slot (the one being closer to the headphone check)
/dev/mmcblk1 is the right SD card slot
I trusted that device path specification.
And it was correct MOST of the time.
But sadly only most of the time, NOT ALWAYS!!!
This bug is severely dangerous, as a (possibly critical) command could unexpectedly affect a device other than the one you intended it for!
BUG INCIDENT:
Sadly, I realized this bug at the worst possible moment!
I issued the command: shred -fvz /dev/mmcblk0
but it erased the card in the RIGHT slot.
I realized that because the card inserted on the left has 16GB, and the one on the right 128MB.
I checked both the card positions and my entered command, to exclude my own mistake. Sadly it was not a clumsy mistake: This severe bug really exists!
BUG REPRODUCIBILITY:
I already slightly witnessed this bug during the last days, but thought it was just a coincidence.
I.e. in GParted the larger card showed up at the wrong device path.
I did a refresh and/or ejected/re-inserted the card, and the expected device path was back again, and I did not think further about this incident.
Only today with this fatal shred incident, I eventually realized this behavior is a bug.
Luckily I had my data backed up. |

Task Description
The clock occasionally does weird things during low power mode, sometimes gaining time, sometimes losing. This is most likely a result of the CPU being reduced to 14Mhz and the system clock being unable to keep up.
A convenient work around is to make a call to "/sbin/hwclock --hctosys" during wake-up to load the hardware clock back into the system clock. This may add an extra second or two to the wake-up time but will prevent confusion caused by clock being very incorrect. |

248 | Core | Feature Request | Medium | Support for hibernation by caching to SD card | Closed | |
Task Description
It would be very desirable that the PandoraOS could hibernate, and that this action can easily be accessed/triggered with either a hotkey or as an action for the max-idle-time-event or lid-close-event.
That would be the battery friendly universal action to quickly pause/resume any arbitrary application/task.
The current standby mode is far to power consuming for breaks longer than ~ 1 hour. Improving standby mode to be more battery-friendly would of course be too highly appreciated and practical.
If hibernation is triggered, RAM content gets written to a special file or partition on a SD card. The boot-manager of course needs to recognize such a RAM-file on SD-cards. In case it finds more than 1, i.e.: multiple cards/partitions, the one with the newest timestamp gets priority.
256MB RAM with about 10-20 MB/s read/write time to SD, would result in 25-12 seconds for going into or out of hibernation, which would be acceptable for me. In practice it would mean, that if I quickly have to pause me OpenPandora operation (i.e. train stop), I just close my lid, and put the Pandora into my pocket (2-4 seconds), and I am then trusting that the rest reliable happens in my pocket (10-20 seconds). |

123 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Suggestions for the Pandora-Button | New | |
Task Description
My suggestion instead of a full menu, would be to have a tiny overlay over the current running application which allows you to:
- relogin (to close all running applications)
- quit (stop the active application)
- shows the last notifications / toaster messages which you missed while being in a fullscreen app.
- possibly even something like plugin support or icons to check out the wifi-strength etc. from fullscreen apps.
Implementation wise this could possibly be done using
- a topmost window and the same content rendered in screenspace in a GLES hook (which should draw over most applications)
or
- one of the DSS2 overlays maybe
It's definitely something to consider as it was requested on the forums a few times (~"xbox like menu in games"). |

195 | Core | Feature Request | High | Start re-recharge of battery sooner | Closed | |
Task Description
Increase battery LVL_4 and LVL_3 threshold.
After reaching 100%, in some cases the charge circuit enters "battery full" state, stops charging, and begins to discharge. This is not entirely unexpected behavior according to the spec sheet, although I don't fully understand exactly the situations in which it completes charging. Once the battery is full, the battery will begin discharging. The charge circuit automatically restarts the recharge once the voltage has gone below a certain level (crosses below the LVL_3 voltage threshold)
The default LVL_3 voltage threshold is 3.902 volts which is at about 80-85% battery level as recorded by bq27500 chip. In my opinion, this is way too low.
Setting the BCIMFTH2 register to 0xCB increases the voltage threshold to about 4.003 volts which is about 93%.
Setting it to 0xDC may also be worthwhile, which is just over 95%.
By default, if a user leaves their Pandora plugged in overnight, they may wake up to find their Pandora has stopped charging and the capacity has dropped to almost 80%, which can be quite startling to some users who will then report it as a bug.
This change will ensure that it never drops below 93-95%, a much more acceptable level.
Specific code changes suggested, in the /drivers/power/twl4030_bci_battery.c file, somewhere in the twl4030_bci_battery_probe function (or a function called by it), add the lines:
/********************************/
#define KEY_FTH2 0x7F
#define REG_BCIMFTH2 0x017
ret = twl4030_i2c_write_u8(TWL4030_MODULE_MAIN_CHARGE, KEY_FTH2, REG_BCIMFKEY);

238 | Application | Feature Request | Low | Quick key access to OK in dialogues | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In many GUI dialogues the default action button (OK, ACCEPT, YES, …) cannot be triggered with a simple key press. Pressing ENTER triggers the element which has focus (usually the first dialogue element), but not the default action, as most computer users would expect!
MY WORKAROUND MEANWHILE: Press ALT plus the underlined letter of your desired action. But that's not very convenient as the underlined letter needs to be looked upon first, as the button label can differ from situation to situation (ACCEPT, OK, YES, …) and then 2 keys need to be pressed.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION: The custom of many operating systems should be adapted on the OpenPandora as well. SPACE triggers the currently focused element (whatever that may be: list item, radio button, checkbox, etc), and ENTER triggers the default action of that dialogue.
Or even better use the Pandora specific A/B/Y/X keys cleverly in those dialogues/selections. I don't know whether there is a standard functionality assignment within this key-group, in MiniMenu "B" is start/confirm, I do not know of any other standard assignments yet. |

Task Description
I love to use the pandora for some on-the-go python development, and I think I'm not the only one, but unfortunately the module pydoc is missing, which is needed for doing help(sys) on the interactive prompt. Could you please include that in the next firmware revision? Thanks! |

Task Description
ISSUE ENVIRONMENT:
If you hold your Pandora in your hands, you only have your thumbs for typing, hence your typing abilities are quite limited.
It is hard to press more than 2 keys, and hard to press 2 keys on the same side, as your second thumb does not reach the opposite side all too easy (except you have a basketball player's hands).
The modifier keys Start/ALT Select/CTRL Pandora/(META, I guess?) are in the middle of the keyboard, hence the can easily pressed together with another key. But SHIFT lies at an ergonomically problematic side (left boundary). Hence hard to press with other left side keys.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
I suggest that Pandora OS offers an optional and configurable input help.
[1|2|3 presses | hold for duration x] SHIFT [timeout y] [modifier key 2] [timeout z] key
Produces the same result like SHIFT + modkey2 + key
Very likely modifier key 2 and timeout z are not necessary, as you can trigger the SHIFT hold (by your defined action), and then press the modifier key 2 and the other key at once, as the other modifier keys are laid at a central (ergonomically better) position. |
