I followed the information on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN and flashed the ZTE 1.2 beta which is found on their dropbox account - no problems beyond any issues which are already known about that build. However, that page contains an additional note about fixing the notification tray issue by flashing the 1.2 git version afterwards - I believe I have successfully gone through that procedure and the notification tray is not fixed by that. Checking my Device Information in Settings shows the last commit info which matches the latest commit in the 1.2 branch so I assume my phone is running the git build now. Does anyone know what was changed to fix the notification tray problem so that I can check I have the change ?
On a more general note I have to say that there is a very noticeable improvement in the responsiveness of the phone between 1.0/1.1 and 1.2. Previously I would find it a challenge to even be able to answer the phone at times as it was so tricky to wrestle with the lock screen. The general speed improvement (and lock screen change) seems a good reason to stay with 1.2 for now despite some broken features such as GPS. Although I see that many people have raised the issue regarding ZTE Open updates in the past and it has fallen down a bottomless pit between Mozilla and ZTE, but after seeing the potential improvements which could be achieved by at least one more update (maybe to 1.3 ?) then surely existing owners deserve that ? I get a strong feeling from various discussions on the internet that the current ZTE Open experience will ensure that they never by a ZTE device again and possibly not even a Firefox OS device in the future which may be a great shame for everyone. Any info regarding the notification bar or any future official builds would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
