Describe the bug

I sometimes -- and it seems with v0.9.11 and v0.9.12 it increased -- observe transient device freezes which last 1..2 seconds.

Best observable when the "frequency busy" inticator is lit and stays lit for ~2 seconds or so.

EDIT: Also observable that the device is just not responding to touches. It happens increasingly mostly after I have sent a (direct?) message, and randomly regardless of what I do.

ADDENDUM: After a reboot thinks worked quick again. I had an uptime of more than 14 days. So it could be related with something going rogue the longer the uptime is?

Which device are you using

LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using

v0.9.12

Regards!

Addendum: I currently especially have it when dealing with DMs:

  • When opening DM chat,
  • when opening details of a DM,
  • after sending a DM.

Very annoying, since sometimes I even have to wait for ~5 seconds until the device reacts again on touchscreen taps.

Seems to get worse the more DMs I have.

Seems not to be the case with channel messages.

And now it slowly starts in channel message view as well. Much less prominent than DMs, though, although there are far more channel messages.

Does in case of those freezes the internal "Companion" firmware continue to run and can receive messages, send ACKs, and so on?, or is on those freezes the internal companion firmware also frozen?

Closing for now, since it might have been resolved in v0.9.12.3.
