Mister_Magistermal: so is jolla planning on fixing HBM or is it still something that needs to be done? I might look into it (again) if its the latter09:38
*** Ischwitch is now known as Ingvix09:48
Mister_Magisterabr: ^ do you know perhaps?10:13
abrNo I don't know anything about hbm. mal would be the one to ask.10:27
abrI think you should have a look10:27
abrbecause I don't think anyone will do it at Jolla without a supported device that needs it10:27
abrbut mal would know for sure10:27
piggz[m]Simple option would be, if als > × turn on hbm, and leave the rest of the adaptive brightness code?11:07
abri think mal mentioned that at least one xperia already turns it on automatically in certain circumstances11:52
malpiggz[m]: abr: xperia 10 iii has automatic hbm which gets enabled if brightness is set to maximum, it also has a sysfs file to force hbm on at any brightness13:08
abrI think it makes sense for it to only activate on max brightness13:08
abrbut any auto setting would have to make sure it hasn't already been enabled by something else13:10
malafaik it's not possible to disable the automatic mode13:10
abryeah I meant the other way around13:18
henkdoes anyone know how to set nameservers in connman? I’m assuming this is the problem, but I don’t know … the wifi in my gs290 is too weak and my desk is too far away from the hotspots. so I want sailfish to just use the USB connection and route its traffic through my laptop. IP works fine, but names are not getting resolved. /etc/resolv.conf has ::1 and 127.0.0.1. connman is18:31
henklistening on those IPs on port 53. but I’m not sure what it does. I’m assuming it’s just a forwarder to an actual recursing resolver, so I guess I need to set one in connman, I just have no idea how … any tips?18:31
Mister_Magisterabr: you are playing with browser rn can you tell me if I can ship additional preinstalled shortcut in the browser with my port? For some lil branding?18:49
Mister_Magisterlike tye facebook/yt/twitter (should be x at this point btw)18:49
x2shenk: systemd-resolved is running on the JP202619:04
henkx2s: hm, not on my gs290 … JP2026 is the current jolla phone, I’m guessing?19:20
x2syes19:23
x2sCould you check the unit how conman is started?19:23
x2sif -nodnsproxy is not set, then it itself acts as dns proxy19:24
x2salso does a /var/run/connman/resolv.conf exist?19:25
henkmhm … now I’m wondering whether there have been architectural changes which just have not been applied to my installation, yet. this system was likely created around 2021 …19:26
henkExecStart=/usr/sbin/connmand -n -W nl80211 --nobacktrace --noplugin=wifi $SYSCONF_ARGS $CONNMAN_ARGS19:26
x2shm19:26
x2sdoes this help? https://together.jolla.com/question/228724/bug-connman-main-settings/19:26
henkhm, I mean, it points into some directions and following those pointers I find some directions I could go. but they seem like they might interfere with other things later …19:30
henkdo you have connman running?19:30
abrMister_Magister: /usr/share/sailfish-browser/default-content/bookmarks.json19:31
Mister_Magisterthank you :)19:31
Mister_Magistermore branding!19:31
henkx2s: and yes, that file exists. /var/run points to /run and /etc/resolv.conf points to /run/connman/resolv.conf19:31
abrMister_Magister: if you are including the sailfish-content-browser-default package, drop it and replace it with your own.19:33
Mister_Magisteryooooo thanks that's goated tip19:33
Mister_Magistermore branding!19:33
Mister_Magistertho my branding is really non-intrusive19:33
x2shenk: connman is still used for the newer phones19:34
henkdoes anyone know what a standard setup on sailfish 5 should look like? should connman even still be in the mix? is systemd-resolved standard? what other stuff should be running?19:34
henkah19:34
Mister_Magistersfos 5.1 uses systemd-resolved but connman has to be there19:34
Mister_Magisterhmm I can't find oneshot for the kernel update19:36
x2shenk: it might be possible to set a dns server with connmanctl19:38
henkhm, should I be able to update a community port (by piggz) of sailfish to the latest and greatest version? or can I only use the versions listed on e.g. https://build.sailfishos.org/project/subprojects/nemo:testing:hw:volla:yggdrasil in this case?19:39
Mister_Magisterhenk: are you having issues with dns?19:39
Mister_Magisterpiggz[m]: go update your port19:39
henkMister_Magister: well, self-made issues (; phone’s wifi is too weak and it’s too far from the AP. so I want it to use the USB network connection to get to the internet. and I was wondering what the proper way to set the nameserver is in that case.19:41
Mister_Magisterabr: now i just need some wallpapers branding xd19:41
henkhuh, `zypper se resolved` doesn’t even find a package for resolved19:45
Mister_Magisterhenk: are you on 5.1?19:54
Mister_Magisteroh ye it doesn't19:54
henkMister_Magister: no, 5.0.0.6219:54
Mister_Magister5.0 does'nt use resolved iirc19:55
henkah ok19:55
Mister_Magistermal: android guy said to just write 1 to it and like, that's it20:31
Mister_Magisteryou don't need time limit, you don't need anything20:32
henkany advice on how to get VoLTE going? I inserted a new sim card and it registers fine for mobile data but not for voice. phone app says "no network coverage" and the dot next to "4G calling (VoLTE)" keeps blinking. status underneath is "Not registered". Correct network is selected and internet works. what else could I check?20:34
maltry forcing 2g and then back to 4g or 5g20:36
henkI found something about ofono-binder-plugin vs ofono-ril-binder-plugin, rebooting now to see whether this helps20:40
malafaik only ofono-binder-plugin will allow volte20:41
malI don't see why any device from recent years would use anything else than ofono-binder-plugin20:42
henkmal: in https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/no-outgoing-calls-possible-solved/13632/18 piggz says »Erm, how have you ended up with ofono-binder-plugin, and not ofono-ril-binder-plugin? The latter is explicity required in the device pattern!«20:47
henk(I’m still reading that thread, though)20:48
henkhm, either I don’t get it or there is nothing useful in that thread …20:50
henkbut with the 'ril' version I can’t even enable the VoLTE setting …20:50
malhenk: which device is that?20:51
henkmal: gs29020:51
henkyggdrasil20:51
malneeds info from piggz[m] to know why that is used20:51
henkhttps://forum.sailfishos.org/t/no-outgoing-calls-possible-on-vollaphone-gs290/15637/4 also on that topic …20:52
malhenk: can you show output "binder-list -d /dev/hwbinder | grep -i radio"20:52
malinstall libgbinder-tools package is binder-list command is not found20:53
henkmal: https://bpa.st/LSPQ20:53
malso it has binder interface up to 1.420:54
malhenk: was that missing voice registration when using the ril plugin?20:55
henkmal: with the non-ril plugin the button/dot kept flashing. with the ril plugin it just stays off and tapping it doesn’t seem to change anything.20:55
malanyway you could install ofono-binder-plugin ? and then add a file like this https://github.com/mlehtima/droid-config-fp5/blob/master/sparse/etc/ofono/binder.d/fp5.conf but with 1.5 replaced with 1.420:56
henkwith ril, the phone does think it’s connected though and tries dialling but nothing happens, really. with non-ril it just said "no network coverage" and didn’t even try dialling.20:56
malso that config file goes to /etc/ofono/binder.d/ folder20:57
henkinstalling it will require me to uninstall patterns-sailfish-device-adaptation-yggdrasil-0.0.4+hybris.17.20240701203736.4.gd945c72-1.1.2.bso.aarch64 and patterns-sailfish-device-configuration-yggdrasil-0.0.4+hybris.17.20240701203736.4.gd945c72-1.1.2.bso.aarch64 again. which I installed as the threads said they would have made it so the correct (at that point in time apparently the20:58
henk'ril' variant) plugin would be installed.20:58
henkI didn’t really dig into it but these patterns sound like they are a kind of metapackage, i.e. they just pull in packages, so they aren’t needed per se, are they?20:59
henkah, whatever, I’ll just do that. something needs fixing anyway, so why not this …21:00
Mister_Magisteri wonder if my WP PR would do21:02
Mister_Magisterit would it was turning on HBM when brightness was max21:03
henkmal: hm, now it doesn’t detect any simcards …21:05
henkoh, no, wait21:06
henkforgot to adjust the file m(21:06
henkadjusted, rebooted, still doesn’t find simcards21:09
malhmm, strange21:10
henkremoved the file again: sim cards are found, internet connection works, "4G calling (VoLTE)" keeps flashing21:14
malhenk: try without the last line21:28
henkmal: oh, it finds sim cards. and internet works.21:33
henkand "4G calling (VoLTE)" is flashing. so that’s good so far, I guess21:34
malare voice calls works even in 2g?21:37
henkI don’t think that’s even still supported on the network …21:37
henkyeah, no, that was disabled on the network in 202321:39
henkand 3G was shutdown in june of 202521:39
henkor starting in june21:39
henkso the only option seems to be 4G which doesn’t really do calls IIUC but relies on VoLTE, right?21:40
x2syes21:41
x2s2G as fallback if no VoLTE is available.21:41
henkoh … I have been going through this in june 2025 but didn’t have a lot of time. they were basically telling me "hey, you have 5 days to switch to volte!" and I had too much other stuff going on to be able to care properly … back then it seems some part of the resolution was: 2025-06-07 16:41:53 piggz[m]    so .. notkit implemented the ofono plugin, and just told me that the21:46
henkolder gs290 uses a different interface which isnt implemented21:46
henkdamn. I forgot about that …21:46
henkmal, x2s, Mister_Magister: thank you very much for your inputs! I’ll wait for piggz to see if they know whether anything about this has changed in the meantime, but I’m not holding my breath /-:21:47
x2shenk: :(21:54
maloh21:57
henk¯\_(ツ)_/¯ too bad. and I have only just a year ago bought the android phone, so I can’t really justify spending ~700CHF on the jolla phone, given my financial situation and outlook /-:22:15
henkhopefully the next one :D22:16
malwell implementing the volte plugin is not that difficult23:13
Mister_Magister"not that difficult" says the guy whose skills surpass everyone in this channel23:19
Mister_Magisternot difficult for YOU23:19
Mister_Magisterincredibly complicated for us mortal folk23:19
malwell I can give hints what to do, and since there is existing plugin to use as base it's just about changing the binder calls to correct format23:29
