Welcome back. What broke down in recent updates that the battery lasts for about one day? Two more updates ago, my battery kept almost three days in my G620s-L01. Talking, writing text messages, browsing email and watching Youtube. Sometimes I had the impression that the manager is lethargic, because after a long inactivity he needed a moment to get started. Now it is very often that the alarm rings and the screen is empty. The power button that previously helped to snooze or turn off the alarm does not work. When the camera is on, it blinks every few seconds. The pictures are made but the focus is difficult to set. I am asking for advice. Greetings.

Thanks

Where can i download Los 14.1? Theres only 15.1 links on lineage site. I want to use Nougat not oreo (phone only has 1 gb of ram). Thanks

Unfortunately there is no site officially hosting older LOS builds, which is disappointing, so your chances are slim.

However, I think you'll benefit from the following info I posted previously in Aug 2018 in Ascend Y550 thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/to-root-huawei-y500-t2923318/page607 Post #6062 - (this is a similar 1GB RAM device with unofficial support for LOS 14.1 cherry ROM) regarding...

How Android Go Can Help Older Android Phones Run Android 8.1 Oreo
"Android Go is Google’s stripped down version of Android based on Android 8.1 Oreo, and it aims to be an optimized version of Android for low-end devices with 1GBs of RAM or lower..."
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-go-old-android-8-1-oreo/

And how to...

Turn any Android 8.1 Oreo ROM into an Android Go-Optimized Version
"Android Go is a special version of Android 8.1 Oreo that is optimized to run on low-end hardware. It consists of a series of build configurations and optimized applications that allow for owners of newer budget devices to enjoy features in the Android Oreo framework without spending more on a mid-range or flagship device. We previously outlined how older low-end devices running a custom Android 8.1 Oreo ROM might be able to take advantage of Android Go-specific optimizations..."
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-android-go-low-ram-patcher/

Looks like with LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1), you can turn the OS (in fact any Android 8.1 Oreo ROM) into an Android Go-Optimized version (ie downgrade to Android Go-Optimized version) if that's your wish, simply by flashing Low RAM Property Patcher from link in XDA article above, or developers thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...mod-low-ram-property-patcher-android-t3737373
Or Magisk module here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-module-low-ram-property-patcher-t3740199

Additional info:

"Developers should get less requests to compile with or without Go just because one user wants to have a feature (multitasking for example) re-enabled or to force low-ram changes."

"The target system is Oreo, but the low-ram property was introduced since Android KitKat 4.4, therefore it should work on other versions, unless the ROM developers did not validate the low-RAM UI changes (recent apps UI mostly) against the additions they made."

"Features affected by the low-ram property: Flat recent / multitasking UI,
multi-users disabled, high-end graphics disabled, less recent apps cache,
multi-windows disabled, minor notification icons changes, less logger buffer sizes (devs), no apps notifications access / zen access / VR listeners / picture in picture (PIP) accesses."

I ran Magisk module, and low-ram property flag had the expected effect (with LOS14.1). Of course, in playstore this will not invoke "Go" optimised apps automatically unless running an Oreo ROM. However these streamlined / light apps are already available from 'Comparable app available' notice. [Eg. selecting Maps (Google) notifies you that Google Maps Go is available as Comparable app]. This makes it possible to manually achieve most of the 'Go' optimisations without Oreo (Ie. by flagging the low-ram property to adjust / disable the 'higher-end' features listed above, and by swapping out standard apps for Go edition apps)

I strongly recommend trying Low RAM Property Patcher to invoke Android Go-Optimized OS on any Oreo or Pie device with only 1GB RAM as these android OSs are otherwise far more resource hungry than versions up to Nougat. Hope it helps, PW.

lineage 15.1 working, but no GPS fix, random reboots and apps killed

Hi,
A month ago I installed lineage 15.1 to my G620S-L01..
I had to install the baseband because I couldn't hang up.
Also I've enabled the lowram setting because G620S only has 1Gb RAM.

I'm happy with it, but I have found some problems that may have a simple solution.
The GPS doen't get a fix. Using the app "GPS test" I'm able to see 13 used satellites, but GPS never fixes. I have another G602S-L01 with huawei's official firmware and it gets a GPS fix, but mine doesn't.

Another problem is that the mobile reboots randomly. When there is no mobile signal, it reboots every few minutes.

The last problem I've seen is that apps seem to be killed randomly by android. For example I'm using the browser and suddently the browser disappears and when I open it, the page where I was is gone.

Have you had any of these problems with lineage os 15.1? Is there a solution?

Thanks!

Is that India model?

You will need new baseband if moving up from KitKat, but not if you had stock Lolipop.

While most che1 devices work fine with 4xqwt_lp_modem.zip, it seems Chinese and Indian models may be different. G620S-IL00 may need c8817d_modem.zip, and G620S-L01 may need 4xdx_lp_modem.zip.

You can get here: https://basketbuild.com/devs/dianlujitao/cherry/baseband

Hope it helps. PW

this is the European version exactly in poland.
I fixed the error by "restoring factory settings"

Good. - Was that from LOS 15.1, or did you restore stock to do it?

Anyway, it seems baseband flash was fine (Baseband Version should now show as 11060045 in Settings, About phone), and is needed if your stock was K and you go to custom L or later.

If stock is not Lollipop or above, and you keep or return to K stock, you will need to find and flash a compatible older baseband unless its included with stock ROM. (It may be, but never is with custom ROMs). Likely, one of the 11060009 Baseband Versions below will work for your phone in this case.

Modems:
4XQWT_LP_Modem Baseband Version: 11060045 (Recomended for Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat ROMs)
KitKat-Modem Baseband Version: 11060009 (Recomended for KitKat ROMs)
Y550_Stock_Modem Baseband Version : 11060009 (Recomended for Stock ROMs - KitKat)

Hello, I have two problems from four updates. My camera and messaging application are not working properly. When I turn on the camera I get a message that the application has stopped working. I use the built-in photo application. I didn't change anything. I can't write and send text messages in the application. The application opens, the keyboard appears but you cannot see the message window. sometimes reboot helps and sometimes not. Can someone help me? Last updated August 9, 2019. Thank you in advance. greetings

Hi!

After more than half a year of a happy usage, I would like to report on my experience with Lineage 15.1 on the G620.

Pros:
- Everything was easy from the start, thanks to the excellent documentation and help received here on the forum (special mention to @pndwal).
- I am really enthusiast for having a device with a recent Android version, with security patches, in comparison to the stock ROM I had before. I was considering to throw away the device, which fortunately I didn't do.
- Overall experience is really good, I find the device quite responsive, neat.
- Getting rid of the apps installed by default is really a relief!
- Battery life seems very good, same or better as before.
- The development is ongoing and the bugs afore mentioned are gone.

Two small downsides so far:
- I encounter random hard reboots.
- GPS signal is harder to catch than before. It used to be 10-20 seconds before, whereas now it's more a couple of minutes. If there is something I can do to help report or debug, please let me know.

Best,
benedict

With latest build notification sounds are barely audible. ANyone else experienced this?

Hi,
with lineageos 15.1 I had the same downsides as you with my G620S. In fact, almost never I cannot get a GPS fix.
The random reboot seems to occur when the mobile loses the mobile signal (on places with no coverage it reboots continuously).

Two weeks ago I installed Mokee 8.1 which is based on lineageos 15.1 and the GPS worked fine for 2 days but then it stopped working.

Also there is another downside: some apps are killed suddently. It happens when I'm loading some big web sites or heavy apps. G620S has only 1Gb, and I think that it runs out of memory.

How can we report these problems or help to diagnose them?

Thanks.

Jordi.

This week I've been retesting GPS under mokee and it works but it takes a lot of time to start working (between 5 minutes to 20 ). Everyday in the morning and in the afternoon I made a test and always took some minutes to get the first fix. After the first fix, the accuracy of the GPS is quite good.

I'm thinking on come back to LineageOS to check if GPS has the same behavior as in mokee.

GPS works but I think it has some problem.
Apps disappear quite often.
There are sudden restarts.

How can we get help or diagnose these problems?

Thank you,
Jordi.
