Hall sensor does not work

[VZuyev]

Original Sony Style Cover Stand SCSH40 does not control whether the display is turned on or off when opening and closing.

[rinigus]

Does it work with AOSP? If tested, which versions of AOSP?

[VZuyev]

The firmware 4.0.1.48 is installed on top of Android 52.1.A.3.49. I have not tested it with AOSP.

[rinigus]

Would be good to test with AOSP and see if it works there. As SFOS is based on it, it will need AOSP to function properly

[VZuyev]

Please give a link to AOSP.

[rinigus]

Good question! I don't have a link ready. But you can look into XDA for your device. Ideally, test AOSP10 (for future) and AOSP9 based versions. Note that you should check whether ROM is AOSP- or stock-based, we need tests against AOSP-based ones.

For AOSP10 test, you maybe can pull pixelexperience.org, discontinued 10 version. For AOSP9, not sure if there are some links available. In the worst case, you can also build it using Sony OpenDevices guides.

I was still unable to install the recovery image to then install the build. More precisely, I install the recovery image, but I cannot enter it. You have a recovery image that you can install (with the device turned off, hold down the volume down button + plug in the USB cable).

[rinigus]

I installed using volume up + plugin usb using fastboot command. but for that, I had to extract partition images. As for using recovery image, maybe you can try to get to fastboot mode and just boot into it (fastboot boot recovery.img) and then flash using it? But probably someone on XDA forums knows how to flash PE

[VZuyev]

Yes, I used this command (fastboot boot recovery.img). But I can’t get into the recovery. I found information on XDA that you first need to use the adb command (adb reboot bootloader). But for this I need to put the stock android again. How to extract partition images from a build?

[rinigus]

Re boot: yes, try before booting into recovery, to fastboot reboot-bootloader . It is the same as adb command. It is probably a bug in fastboot that you experience.

As for extracting - I can look it up, but it wasn't trivial and maybe we can get it up without it. You could also try to boot into TWRP for flashing

[VZuyev]

I tried all possible options. TWRP does not start. Please give a link to the working TWRP.

[rinigus]

Please ask at XDA from TWRP thread for help. I don't use it and neither do I use PE. However, there should be users / developers using these and they should be able to assist you

Installed AOSP 10. Hall sensor does not work.

[rinigus]

@VZuyev : thanks a lot! That means it has to be fixed on AOSP10 side first. Unfortunately, AOSP10 is not developed anymore as they focus on AOSP11. Although, please file the issue at https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker/issues (you can refer to the issue over here as well) and let's see if it is possible to fix on AOSP10 side.

Are you sure it doesn't need some defconfig fix like the one I did for Xperia 10 II (and other devices also)? I only did that for 4.14 kernel and forgot about the other kernel branches.

[rinigus]

No, I am not sure. I was expecting that it is set up in AOSP, but your patches demonstrate that it was probably not the case. Will try to enable

[rinigus]

Kernel has been updated in AOSP10/aarch64 version of the port (in testing now, not released). Hopefully Hall sensor is fixed now in that version

[pagism]

on XZ3 aosp10 hall sensor is working, or at least CSD passed the test

[rinigus]

This is with AOSP10 based port?

[pagism]

yes, same device, aosp10

[rinigus]

Closing then. Please reopen if it fails to work with AOSP10 based port
