    @hankschwie hi mate, so at long last the latest update has sorted the reboot problem - this is version 280 of Ubuntu 24.04 as of 26/06/2025. I don't know about Fairfax phones but have a Gigaset GS5 which I used the Vollaphone 22 with new screen install. Phone works, Ubuntu works, and now Waydroid is back..... These folks are truly amazing

    Today, there was an update for the Recorder app. I tried again to move a recorded file to my PC - this time it worked even better - my phone was left on. No issue.

    @Flohack said in Power drain, perhaps caused by app Notes: @guru Yes unfortunately dekkod is known to enter a busy-waiting loop when it cannot reach any network resources from the accounts - do you turn off your internet over night? Btw, the looping/polling proc was not dekkod but dekkod-notify. Looks like a concept flaw polling every second.

    @dobey said in Install Ubuntu Touch on LG Nexus 5 with Android 4: [...] However the razor images are also the same as used on deb/flo, the first gen 2013 Nexus 7 tablets. Thanks for sorting this out. Mine says "product name: deb" in bootloader mode, but there's no such image on Google's download page. I'll use razorg then to compare firmware versions.

    @Giiba said in WiFi issues on Pinephone (Braveheart): ... I found if I entered: $ nmcli r I got something like: (I couldn't get a screenshot... a different bug) WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN enabled off enabled enabled Which obviously seemed wrong, a bit more poking with the 'help' function of nmcli and I found I could switch 'WIFI' to enabled by: $ nmcli r wifi on and now the the output of 'nmcli r' is: WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN enabled enabled enabled enabled Then wifi worked fine, has persisted through reboots, and is still fine a few hours later. What remains unexplained is why wifi worked (I got a list of visible networks) before failing. Similar behaviour here. WiFi stopped working the first time I tried to connect to a network with WPA Enterprise security, and didn't work from then on, even when I restarted. Not sure if the WPA Enterprise part is a coincidence. I saw "disabled" where your post shows "off" in the output of nmcli r. nmcli r wifi on got it working again. Thanks!

    @ziggutas Maybe I'm just not understanding the quote "It's a feature which needs to be enable on the device itself. Please create a bug request against the repository of your device and mentions this commit..."? Does it simply mean make a regular bug report on git hub?

    How do I copy files to and from my phone & PC with uFTP & WifiTransfer? [Solved]

    @Pulsar33 said in How do I copy files to and from my phone & PC with uFTP & WifiTransfer?: @Opolork : Hello WifiTransfer : acts like a server => use Filezilla on the laptop the Filezilla UI allows multiple selection of files and folders and make things easy I experienced "silent errors" of transfer, often for a bunch of photos which is easy to detect => you always must verify the integrity of what you have transfered uFtp : acts like a client => use Filezilla Server on the laptop I never succeeded to transfer a folder or multiple files from Laptop to Phone I never experiment "silent errors" uFtp makes a temporary copy of all what you send in his folder. This is a huge drawback ! Confinement : WifiTransfer and uFtp are confined as usual so they can only access to the .local/share/<appname>/ folder. The only choice is to use UT file manager and enable show hidden files and full access. Using Terminal, you can create symbolic links for easier access : ln -s ~/.local/share/wifitransfer.sil/ ~/Ftp ln -s ~/.local/share/ftpmanager.costa/ ~/uFtp Firewall : Depends on your PC OS and configuration ... Might be necessary to modify. Hope this helps Pulsar33 Cheers, pulsar33. That was very informative.

    If you dd from sdcard to emmc keep your size below 14.5g or your emmc will not boot, don't ask how i know this. Or label your sdcards , and know what is on them. Its easier to adjust the size with gparted or similar before you “ dd ” it.

    @Vmgm Hi, you created a new thread here instead of simply replying to the one you already created. Please be careful in the future. If you need help I gave you few hints in the original thread. I will now lock this thread to avoid cross posting, thanks for your understanding.

    @advocatux said in What formats are supported for video?: @Giiba have you tried to play videos with UTMedia (https://open-store.io/app/utmedia.nfsprodriver)? There are some issues with the default media player on Nexus 5 but UTMedia works for me. @advocatux This solution works for me too. (Playing regular videos with H264 - MPEG-4 AVC codec). I run Ubuntu Touch on RC on Nexus 5.
