Stability issues on 1.15.0

[AgentConDier]

Verification

• I searched for similar bug reports (including closed issues) and found none was relevant.

What happened?

Frequent crashes/freezes after upgrading to the 1.15.0 release

What should happen instead?

No response

Reproduction steps

The stability issues are intermittent; there is no single way to cause a reboot 100% of the time.
Here is a walkthrough of two crashes, starting from a fresh boot with default settings:

1. Enable raise/lower wrist wakeup
2. Connect to the watch using Gadgetbridge
3. Switch to PineTimeStyle watchface
   (Tested turning the display on and off using the button as well as motion detection multiple times between steps)
4. Send a notification to the watch, dismiss it and turn of the display
5. Attept to turn the display back on. No reaction, Watchdog triggers a reboot

--

1. Connect to the watch using Gadgetbridge
2. Turn the display off
3. Send a notification to the watch
4. No reaction from the watch. A few seconds later, the Watchdog triggers

More details?

Notifications are not the only way to cause a crash. I have also observed reboots in the following situations after upgrading to 1.15:

• Disconnecting (using blueman) from the Laptop booted into a Mint Live ISO after upgrading using itd
• Trying to upload resources using itd
• Turning the display on or off (mostly using the raise/lower wrist motion, but sometimes also when pressing the button)
• Sending weather data using Gadgetbridge

I feel like enabling/using more features reduces the stability, especially bluetooth and wakeup motions.

Update installed using pinetime-mcuboot-app-dfu-1.15.0.zip from the GitHub release.

Version

v1.15.0

Companion app

Gadgetbridge Nightly 0.82.0-5a0f1e46d

Unfortunately can't reproduce.

Using:

• InfiniTime v1.15.0 from GitHub release page
• Gadgedbridge 0.82.1-a99564d03 (latest stable at the time from FDroid)
• Tiny Weather Forecast Germany 0.62.5 (build 54) (also from FDroid)

Tested PineTimeStyle watch face + with raise/lower wrist wakeup + Gadgedbridge debug notification + sendig weather data. No freeze/bug found

I have no resources installed.

I don't think it is Gadgedbridge nightly (as it is also happening with itd on your watch). But just to be sure, could you upgrade to the same latest stable version v0.82.1 as I have?

And to be extra sure please redownload the InfiniTime firmware zip from GitHub. I've just downloaded the zip and got the following checksums:

• MD5: 9c2d6bdadb8838e2acd3922055ca6f9d
• SHA1: d33ed8f0a9cf0f8838b36619f1a4708de285fb5a

I'm getting crashes in InfiniSim on 1.15.0 that I wasn't getting before, usually when going to sleep. Unsure how to debug to get a better stack trace.

info:  [systemtask] Going to sleep
info:  [LCD] Low power mode
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Mutex released without being held
Aborted (core dumped)

@zyphlar Please open an issue at infinisim repo. Let's debug infinisim there

[zyphlar]

Will do. Interestingly after clearing cmake cache I encounter nearly zero crashes, may have been a build fluke.

Tried again with a fresh copy of the firmware. Same checksum. Still crashes randomly when using it normally.

I switched back to stable Gadgetbridge 0.82.1, as expected that didn't make a difference.

Even with bluetooth and wakeup disabled it can still crash after a while, usually when turning the screen on or off.
Disconnecting the charging cradle can also make the watch lock up and do a watchdog reset.
I left it on my desk for an hour and it was fine, but crashed right after I put it on and switched watchtace/enabled motion wakeup.

Starting to wonder if this is a hardware issue, sometimes the watch also bootloops a few times when trying to switch between versions (by holding the button during the boot loader screen) or crashes right after booting v1.15. Then again, 1.14.1 has been mostly stable, only reboots or freezes a few times per month.

Hmm yeah the lack of reports from anyone else is a bit strange since all pinetimes should be the same, it's not impossible that yours has a HW issue then :(

Do you know anyone else with a pinetime? Could you try their one for a bit and see if you can get that one to crash too?

[AgentConDier]

Nope, don't know anyone else with a PineTime unfortunately.
I've ordered a second one from the pine64.com store, I'll try with that unit once it arrives in a month or two.

I loaded the latest release onto my watch and followed the reproduction steps and don't notice an issue yet

[dcoolArne]

I got one Watchdog reboot after exiting the shake calib. screen but i wasn't able to trigger it again. After i exitet the app the watch stop responding to inputs and then rebooted after a few seconds. I don't really know what triggerd it except that i mabey quit the app twice, button + wish at the same time.
