@hlbkv I can't give you expert advice about your device unfortunately. Generally speaking from my limited experience (I have only one phone with UT, a Fairphone 5) when UT is installed the installer may have trouble running unless the device is set manually in fastboot. In these cases I have used 'sudo reboot fastboot' under UT to get to the desired fastboot mode. If UT don't start you may have success using the phone controls (IIRC starting while pressing Down (or Up ?), or using the device boot menu. Additionaly it's indeed necessary to specify the target (detection don't work). In short, your current state is cause of concern of course, but not yet of despair.

@moodroid The “Prevent background suspension” setting should be set to OFF. As described in the Ubuntu Touch Wiki. By “Power Save,” I mean the following: Set CPU cores to half load Turn off Wi-Fi Turn off mobile data Turn off Bluetooth Turn off location services Enable 2G (optional) With these settings, the device enters deep sleep mode and consumes less than 22 mA. (1-2% battery consumption at night) If this is not the case, you will need to check for faulty services or configurations that are preventing deep sleep mode. In my case, I created a script with a log file that records the power consumption of the idle device in a text file. It was always over 200 mA. Only after cleaning up faulty services linked to installations did the consumption drop to ~22 mA. The battery on my 9-year-old Pixel 3a now lasts about 4 days with moderate use. I call it “NOKIA 3210 mode.” You can be reached via text and phone for days on a single battery charge. If needed, you can also take pictures, check emails and calendar events, send texts, or make calls, and all other features of a modern smartphone are available. (Navigation, internet, NextCloud, cloud music...)

@gpatel-fr That´s perfect! Thank you very much for solving this stubborn problem. Now I can put the Pixel 3a into ‘Nokia 3210 mode’ with a single click. Calls and text messages work, and the battery lasts at least three days in this mode. #!/bin/bash # ==================================================================== # NOKIA 3210 MODUS: CPU throttling + All offline services (Pixel 3a) # ==================================================================== if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then echo "ERROR: Please run the script using: sudo $0" exit 1 fi echo "Enable Nokia 3210 mode..." # 1.

@mihael yes it's a bug and probably in the push service. I tried to kill the service process (I don't know any other way to restart a service activated by d-bus) and after an initial failure (it seems that when the service is restarted it don't take in account the task that started it), the second time I sent a mail message the notification used the new sound. To be continued.

is there a way to move to the stable channel? in the settings & wiki i can only find the daily channel..

@Moem said: I will repeat what I've said elsewhere: I will bring this subject to the table in the next meeting of the Board of Trustees. That's what I can do and I'll do that. Until a possible workaround is found, it seems appropriate to notify users of the installer. I have therefore created the following ticket: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/4565 Since other countries may also be affected, it would be helpful to know which ones. I have therefore created the following thread: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12291/internet-access-restriction-for-ubports-installer-list-your-country That's what I can do, and I did it

@AntiMS The experimental Halium 12 build has two reports of succesfull VoLTE - both originating and receiving (non US), and several one way only calls with or without audio. I personally have tried it with all three US networks. Verizon has trouble, but with both T-Mobile and AT&T networks you can receive calls with audio in both directions. However, making a call fails and the dialer hangs. Logs were sent to the porter, and it is suspected that this is an ipv6 vs ipv4 issue. We can help you more efficiently if you join the ubports NA Issues Telegram channel.

@projectmoon exactly i dont mind confinement anymore as i used complain because i didnt understand now i do and i see ALOT of missing api thats why i made "workspace" --->still needs lots of testing but i have to say im not happy having to make a workaround solution ....as it kinda breaks the whole design point ..

@shcarl276 said: It's not the matter of the devs not being ABLE to do something. Sorry, but I disagree. This is not on the dev's plate.

"Places" case solved. What I obeserved in short: At startup, "Places" is created and provides shortcuts to standard folders (immutable): Home, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Video, Network and Root folder. These folders can't be deleted from there (no trash can symbol). This list is expandable with any folder. These are removable, too (trash can symbol on swipe right). "Music" folder was deleted (accidently, I didn't realize at first). "Places" tried to provide a link to this non-existent folder which ended up with a ".". "Music" folder was recreated and appeared at the bottom of the "Places" list while "." still existed. After a reboot, "Places" got organized again (or rebuild by scratch). "Music" folder could be referenced again and "Places" was rebuilt as intensioned and looks normal again. No "." for a folder that could not be found. Sorry for causing this confusion and any inconvenience. It happens, when you're chronically overworked.

@Privacy-freedom You need to gain a bit more experience to create a .conf file properly and ensure it works as intended. Don’t forget to make copies of your working settings. AI can also be helpful.

@AdFundum yes, it was a bug! i reported it to the webmaster and it got fixed immediately

@bunt7 You can find a workaround script, for Network connectivity jump here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/95548

you need to go to settings and set your usb to tethering ....there is your internet connection it should just work when you plug it in and connect ...if im understanding you correctly?
