Sony WH-1000XM4 Test2 cotninued

[maniacx]

Hello @Int-Circuit

Let’s continue our discussion and testing here.
It seems that socket communication is now working.

I think it is better to use a test script instead of the GNOME extension to solve socket communication issues.
The reason is that it is easier and safer to test the script as extension if bug can crash gnome-shell.
Also, when we make changes to the script, we can relaunch it immediately without reinstalling or logging out and back in, like with the extension.

Step 1: Disable Sony support in the extension preferences to avoid both the extension and the script trying to use the same RFCOMM port (which would cause a conflict).

Step 2: Download and extract the repository from the sony branch.

https://github.com/maniacx/test-bluetooth-battery-meter

Step 3: Open the file main.js in a text editor and add your MAC address on line 29:

const devicePath = '/org/bluez/hci0/dev_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX_XX';

Then save the file.

Step 5: Run the script

Launch the script using this command:

gjs-console -m ~/Downloads/test-bluetooth-battery-meter-sony/main.js

Step 5: You will see an application window. It shows the current status, mode controls, and a real-time log display.

Logs are also saved in the folder named logs. You can compress (zip) them and upload them here for review.

Hi @maniacx, thanks for the work, here are the logs. I still see some failed ACKs but also some send + receive messages. However the headset doesnt switch ANC modes for example

Thanks @Int-Circuit . There was a small bug regarding battery text.

Also get noise cancellation seems to be not responding as usual.

I have removed retry on failed packets feature.
Also I have added a 15 seconds lockout on GUI. So you wont be able to change buttons or slider during first 15 seconds after the headset is connected. This will help me check all packet queries made at initial 5 mins.
Also there are different program doing something differently. So lets try all method and check which one give best response.

I have push 4 different branch

Download each branch.
Run with headphone connected. After 15 seconds make some changes in GUI and test.
Upload log with branch name
Repeat next branch.

this will help me progress faster.

Thanks

Hi @maniacx

so a lot of things are working now! Equalizer works and ANC mostly works* on the sony branch

<--removed-->
as for sony-No-Retries-GetInfo, here are the logs:

<--removed-->
I saw that the auto poweroff feature seems to always default to when taken of/ cannot set a timer.

And for sony-No-Retries-Ori-Seq-GetInfo, here are the logs:

<--removed-->
same problem with autopoweroff

*can change modes but it seems the "Off" mode is the ANC one and the rest is a variation of voice passtrough

Hello @Int-Circuit

Thank you for the test.
Unfortunately I have decided to use separate files / branch for Protocol V1 and V2 device. Packet are bit different and it was getting difficult to maintain.

So changes are major. It might me more broken than fixed. But this will be better for future.
I hope you do not get demotivated, for testing too much and not seeing positive results.

Please test this branch and report back.

Thank you again.

EDIT:
Also test this branch. Sequencing is different

So I pushed an huge update. I was able to find btsnoop.log for WH-1000XM4 online and could analyze bytes and test. Made thing much more easier.

Ignore the previous message and only test this one branch.

https://github.com/maniacx/test-bluetooth-battery-meter/tree/sony-v1

I have also added some indicator for DSEE and CODEC

I think most feature should work this time.

Thank you.

Hi @maniacx, here are the logs.
One thing, I had no battery info showing on the app. IDK if it's a regression or a bug with my OS.
Have a great day

Thanks @Int-Circuit

I have updated a new Branch SONY on gnome-extension. Can you please test it.

https://github.com/maniacx/Bluetooth-Battery-Meter/tree/SONY

Thank you.

[Int-Circuit]

Hi @maniacx
just tested the changes and they do look good!

What works

• ANC works
• Speak to chat works
• DSEE works
• EQ works

What doesn't

• Pause when taking off, tested multiple time, no dice

Thanks for the continuous work!

[maniacx]

Thank you @Int-Circuit

Great! We are almost there.
I pushed a small update for fix for Pause when taking off on SONY branch

Let me know if it works.
Also let me know, what is expected behavior when using Pause when take off.

So I think we covered all features for WH-1000XM4. Am I correct?

[Int-Circuit]

Hi @maniacx
Sadly still doesnt work setting doesnt seem to stay after enablement and removing headset during music playtime doesnt stop it.

[maniacx]

If you could sent the whole log, would be great.

cd /tmp/bluetooth_battery_meter && zip -r ~/Downloads/bluetooth_battery_meter.zip .

Upload zip from Download folders.

Note: I think these log get destroyed on reboot. So If service.logs is missing or empty you might have to test it again. And then zip/send the logs

Also Thank you for all the testing.

[maniacx]

Also I noticed the log are for older version. I think you did not logout and relogin gnome-shell after installing the new update SONY branch.

As you can see, in the log, it still sends 03 01 01

Sent 3e 0c 00 00 00 00 04 f8 [03 01 01] 0d 3c

But it should sent [03 00 00] if turned OFF or [03 00 01] if turned on.

After installing extension, we need to log out and log in again, so that the new installed extension is loaded.

@Int-Circuit
I push a fix for Pause and Auto power off when taken off on SONY branch
Test it out please.

[Int-Circuit]

Hi @maniacx, indeed I was on a old version, forgot to do a git pull (happens to the best of us XD)

Pause seems to work fine, could it be possible to add a custom delay before powering off? this would make testing and general use more interesting and easier.

[Int-Circuit]

So I think we covered all features for WH-1000XM4. Am I correct?

I would think so
