Xperia X keeps disconnecting and often wont ever reconnect again.

[Malakay666]

Hi Piggz, I have Xperia X with SFOS 3.4.0.24 now. Problem first appeared when I bought my Amazfit Bip watch (A1608) and tried to use Amazfish with version 3.2.0.12 Torronsuo.

The problem is that I can´t rely on my watch because quite often watch disconnects - sometimes it will reconnect, but quite often it won´t even after an hour, so I missed many important calls. I don´t need BPM measure, fitness features etc, I only want to be notified, nothing more, nothing less.

So I tried multiple watch FW versions, even Amazfish versions, but problem appeared on every version I tried. Sometimes more often, sometimes less.

Then I upgraded to 3.4.0.24, problem still persisted. I did factory reset of my phone, problem still persists. I am out of more ideas. I stopped exploring this in july 2020, so I obtained logs from that time.

One more thing - I use automatic powersave mode after disconnecting charger from phone to keep battery last longer, but even with this disabled problem still persisted.

I am desperate of all this, please help.

So, yesterday I reinstalled Amazfish again to make some new logs. Yesterday it was working flawlessly, disconnected maybe 2 times, but perhaps because I went too far from phone. But when I went to sleep, it started again during the night. In the morning I had many notifications "Your phone and watch are now connected". And, until now, problem still occurs.

Very strange One thing for certain, the application doesnt crash, so its not that. I suspect the problem is at a lower level than Amazfish because Amazfish is getting notified by bluez that the connection was lost.

Is the watch firmware up to date? Perhaps you could ask other Xperia X users for their experience with bluetooth?

[Malakay666]

I assume that other Xperia X users dont have this problem at all - i didnt see any coment like that on openrepos. Watch FW is 1.1.6.48. You have written on openrepos that is tested with 0.1.1.45 which is obsolete, so I tried multiple versions, sometimes better, sometimes not, but problem didnt disappeared.

I noticed one thing today morning - when I am not caring about my phone, it disconnects much more often then I am doing something on the phone. Maybe some "sleeping" feature of BT? I have automatic powersave enabled, maybe this can cause something?

[Malakay666]

But again - when I disable powersave, its the same One more thing - does bluez support some kind of logging? Maybe we can check even there. I have BT headset for accepting calls I often use - there is no problem with it even after few hours connected (even with automatic powersave feature). So maybe some watch problem?

Can you look at the times of some of the messages like BipDevice::onPropertiesChanged: "org.bluez.Device1" QMap(("Connected", QVariant(bool, false))("ServicesResolved", QVariant(bool, false))) () ANd look i the full journal to see if there is anything else going on at that time

[Malakay666]

how to display full journal?

[Malakay666]

i googled a little and found this: journalctl -ab --no-pager > $MYHOME/journal.txt so, output here: journal.txt

[piggz]

Ok, its quite clear from that log that the disconnect happens whenever your phone sleeps ... ever occurrence of the disconnect is preceded by power-management sleep messages, I think you need to ask on general sailfish forums about this. Maybe i could add some code to prevent the sleep, ill have a think.

[Malakay666]

is any way to exclude amazfish from sleep?

wait......now I remember - I bought another watch (cheap one from china for test) and it stays connected flawlessly....interesting that amazfish connection falls, but another watch incompatible with amazfish stays working

[Malakay666]

I disabled powersaving mode one more time to try, but today at 15:05 few minutes after disabling - disconnected again -_-

Hi Piggz, I found this, maybe it could help?

https://together.jolla.com/question/181730/work-arounddisable-power-saving-mode-best-practice/

[piggz]

Thanks, yes, my idea was to use libkeepalive. Ill add it next, maybe make it an option while it is tested.

[Malakay666]

Someone on forum told me to try mcetools and disable late suspend, im going to try

[Malakay666]

But I found something strange - today I run amazfish and it told me I have FW too old to change display items - but i have already did that and it worked. It tells me that required is 0.1.1.4, but i have much newer 1.1.6.48. Does it mean I have to downgrade?

[Malakay666]

So, it seems that MCETool is a right way (or workaround until piggz tests libkeepalive)

I disabled late suspend feature with command: mcetool --set-suspend-policy=early

Today my watch were working flawlessly at work. Didn´t lose connection even once, just only when I got home, let my phone on a table and went to another room it lost connection. When I got back, reconnected almost instantly :)

EDIT: Today (tuesday) watch was working flawlessly too :)

So I think this problem is solved.

Piggz, I have few more questions: 1) it is said on Storeman, even in app, that Amazfish is tested with watch FW ver. 0.1.1.4, I have 1.1.6.48 which is much newer. Should I do downgrade or I can keep actual FW? One time app told me I can´t edit Menu display items because of FW version, but now it works even with 1.1.6.48

2) I found that every notification comes twice - one is okay, another is almost okay with few strange symbols. Is there any known solution for this? EDIT: I found that only SMS notifications are doubled, for example Threema notifications are not.

3) for Amazfit Bip watch I found that they´re equipped with GPS and Glonass. I care about my privacy, so I want to know, if my position is somehow proccessed by Amazfish, or if Amazfish doesn´t support any GPS/Glonass related functions, so I don´t have to be bothered about this :)

Thanks

[piggz]

1)No, you should be fine with the new FW 2)SMS issue is known .. Can you raise a separate issue for this please 3)Amazfish DOES allow you to download outdoor activities captured on your watch, such as running/cycling. It stores a TCX file on the phone, along with other data like heartrate /calories etc captured by the watch, and stores these in its database. There is also an option to upload activities to Strava (a website for runners/cyclists) but that is an optional and manual activity.

[Malakay666]

So, If I understand correctly, when I turn on some outdoor activity on the watch, it turns on gps on watch and amazfish starts logging. If I just use watch as watch and notifications, gps on the watch is disabled?

[Malakay666]

And even if it not disabled, amazfish logs it to the phone only. So If I understand correctly, it is privacy-secure?

[Malakay666]

And yes, I will post it as issue when i got home :)

[piggz]

No, amazfish never has access to the live GPS data. The watch stores the track on internal memory, and amazfish can download it afterwards. Download is a manual operation, it doesnt sync activities automatically like the Zepp/Amazifsh apps, or do any auto uploading.

[Malakay666]

Ah, great :) so its privacy-secure :) thanks a lot :)
