Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

It happened just now, I noticed after my previous post, just when I was going to install the debug binary, so unfortunately no asui logs yet. No icd2 activity at all now, so probably the previous time the device wasn't really in "flight mode"
I left dbus-monitor and psutils top running for an hour, but it didn't catch any dbus traffic while blank-locked. What I see in top log is mostly mmcqd activity about each minute, with some dsme and mce activity.
Unfortunately, the problems seems to come and go with no evident reason.
Unless it is continuously dumping text to the log file, I'll proceed with the debug binary.
No, there are no applications to rotate the screen running, it was ASUI, I think it was two fast rotations caused by inadvertently touching the touchscreen while pressing the power button.

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

ok....
power + d-pad center locks the device (n800), but fails to unlock.
at least it now pops up a message telling me to press the full screen button.
strange thing is that if i forget and hit the d-pad center the last program I selected using personal launcher is opened with the screen still locked.

also the battery status keeps pooping up every ten seconds or so taking the focus away from what I am doing and requiring me to tap the screen to get rid of it. very annoying.

edit: think I fixed the battery status by de-selecting "asui-battery" then reselecting it in "panels"....odd

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

Do you know about ASUI's settings app? You can access it from the apps folder you installed it to or from ASUI's secondary widget page. Everything ASUI does should be configurable there.

ASUI's idle time polling will make the default battery applet open its menu, uncheck the default battery applet or turn off ASUI's idle time. Odd that cycling asui-battery would make the default battery stop its popup.

ASUI can't map itself or grab keyboard focus with its blank window when the battery's popup is open, could be why dpad center passes through, although not sure why fullscreen would go to ASUI. This is a known problem and if anyone knows how SystemUI is able to force focus grabbing popups and menus to close...

You can also change secondary unlock key from fullscreen to dpad center with the settings, under button modes. I would get the dpad center problem resolved BEFORE changing from fullscreen. If power+dpad center shows the "press fullscreen" notification but also launches an app then ASUI and personal launcher are both receiving the event, dpad center can be used to unlock the device but will also launch an app. It could be that personal launcher is only grabbing the dpad center and arrows and this somehow allows ASUI to grab the rest of it.

I'm going to install personal launcher and see if I can reproduce this problem and find a fix. Will also profile and try to optimize the dbus code, I know a couple unhandled dbus signals actually wake up the ASUI process.

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

In asui settings there is a statement that claims that if it is selected that the d-pad center will work...yet there is no check box to do so. the check box that seems to be related to this statement is "power button always opens and never closes asui"

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

what your after is at the bottom, secondary unlock button.

i guess the option you mentiin is there to avoid confusion when asui is already showing sand one wants to lock the device.

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

found the option to select secondary lock button.
I am still having a problem though...
if I have any program running and attempt to lock the screen I get the following pop-up's
1st: An application may have paused screen blanking.
2nd: Screen is locked and should blank in a minute.

well after waiting 10+ min. I still receive these messages and nothing works at all. have to pull the Batt. to reboot. (which for me is a pain as my battery cover is taped in place due to the latch having become very loose).

on a side note: my goofy experience of the d-pad center activating the last selection in personal launcher went away after pulling the battery.

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

A program has disabled screen blanking and there is nothing ASUI can do about it. What apps do you have running? Do you use alarms? Are you not able to unlock it and reboot or shutdown from ASUI? Are you not able to long press the power button to shutdown?

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

I had micro b and modest open....
no alarms...

when the pop-ups occur the device is unresponsive to any input. only way to deal with it is by pulling the battery.
held the power button for a full minute....nothing...

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

Here is the debug log. The device was idle, in flight mode and blank-locked with no other programs running, for 6:45 hours before closing the log, battery dropped 12.4% during this time.

Re: [Announce] advanced-systemui
 

It looks like ICD blasts out a bunch of status_changed signals every 60 minutes, probably scans looking for networks. ASUI was sleeping the rest of the time.


Could you install the debug binary asui dd;asui id as root, reproduce the problem and then send me the log file in /root/asui-*? After you have reproduced the problem type asui r as root to restore the release binary.

And play around with the power button, different combos of short and long taps and something might eventually cause it to shutdown. Also try setting the secondary unlock key to 'none'. Something is different on your device and we just need to find out what that is.

Do you have ssh? It might be a good idea to install it on your device so you can reboot it via ssh while conducting these tests.
