Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: NFC, defect)

Description

[Yoshi Cheng-Hao Huang [:allstars.chh][:allstarschh][:yoshi]]

Some NFC hardware functionalities (like discovery) should be disabled when screen is off.

When screen is off, Gaia will send a ContentEvent

[Garner Lee]

My mistake. 952212 was not the right dependency. The bug depends Gaia change in Bug 950269.

Comment 4

[Yoshi Cheng-Hao Huang [:allstars.chh][:allstarschh][:yoshi]]

Hi Garner
I thought this should be done in Gecko part,

if you think the Gaia part is not correct (acceptNfcEvents()), can you kindly explain or maybe file another bug?

Check screen and lock state at the same time.

Check screen and lock state at the same time.

It's already done in acceptNFCEvents(), please explain why this change is made.

Comment 7

[Garner Lee]

It relates to 959104, where "vibrate forever" is techDiscovered or techLost being fired continuously (and seems to have some effect on ShrinkUI in p2p mode).

In handleEvent, acceptNFCEvents() was used by the screenchange case, which might send a conflicting value (NFC_HW_STATE_ENABLE_DISCOVERY, NFC_HW_STATE_DISABLE_DISCOVERY) with screen locked. It is by independent, but closely related to screenchange. Change that case to only check screen on/off fixed the vibrate forever problem. Other potential behavior issues in gecko/nfcd might be hidden however. If you see other issues, or intended to fix something else in this bug, please let me know.

I'll check Alive's review comment, and investigate some more.

Comment 8

[Garner Lee]

Alive's change request applied and still working. There's still some ocassional *extra* discovery event from the hardware (nfcd debounce  didn't catch it?), but that seems to be a different bug.

If OK, check-in needed.

Comment 9

[Yoshi Cheng-Hao Huang [:allstars.chh][:allstarschh][:yoshi]]

As discussed with Garner, we don't have to ask Alive for comments.

Is NFC payment disabled when screen is off?

NFC payment should not be off in this case.
I will pay attention to this use case when implement payment related function

[Sandip Kamat]

Ming, please see comment 21.

Comment 24

[Ken Chang[:kenkai]]

This bug is conflicting to bug 973480, bug 979868, and bug 979888. We should add a standby mode for NFC when NFC is on but screen is off. Filing bug 984207 for tracking.

(In reply to Tomoaki Konno from comment #21)
> Is NFC payment disabled when screen is off?
In current design, the answer is yes. But we should add a suspend/standby mode for NFC. Please check bug 984207.

Please refer to: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=973480#c8

Also, some of these bugs look like duplicates. Can these be appropriately duplicated?

[Wesley Huang [:wesley_huang] (EPM) (NI me)]

It depends on how partner wants to track it. I'm fine either way.

I don't think so.
Bug 984207 is proposing a standby/low power mode for NFC. But it doesn't define when device should enter this mode, which depends on the user story and what partners want.
