@jam1388 Yes you just need to make sure the wipe user data is not ticked and your fine. Also if you are already on UT( which you are) no need to resize partitions it use bootstrap. This applies to any reflash if you can't down grade from system settings, updates, channels. I don't have your device but on my FP 5 5g and volte work on 24.04-2.x so it should be the same with yours 2.x daily is just the start of the process if moving to the next version. This issue took out my FP4 as well and that works just as well on24.04-1.x though I know at times it's fun to play on the outer edge where the dragons live : )

@bunt7 said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch: @pparent Maybe in the near future the Signal Icon (it is an X in this case) will be function on a xaomi pocco x3 nfc. I the future yes, in yes near future no. It will not happen before the system upgrades to Mir.2.x and we can switch to Wayland which might not be, before another 6 month (or more). It depends on the Ubuntu Touch roadmap. Until then, there is nothing that I can do on my side. In the mean time you can pin the icon while exporting to content-hub. the emoticons are usable square but not up ride I'm not sure to understand, can you explain more?

@moem @zakafx "Average user" and "Daily Driver" is a bit hard to define once we bring in apps. For my case, I'll just define it as can I use my phone as a phone with anticipating some app or web functionality. Similarly, I would also look at how easy is it to break the phone functionality or the OS. For me, if the phone actually worked, the Google Pixel 3a Ubuntu Touch would be 95% daily drivable for me. The camera would be the only other main issue. I define "daily driver" if I can use the phone for personal, work, and travel. I think this type of average user would be more aware of what life was like before smartphones or wants to detach from the current things whatever they may be. Maybe they just want something different too or are more developer focused? Ubuntu Touch meets most of these points. Now, if I'm a person who needs a lot of apps because I grew up with apps and that is my expectation and what I am used to, any Linux phone could potentially be a hardpass....unless it is a Steam machine or latest social media thing or something I guess. Not sure what is all popular these days. As for me, if the phone works, I know a number of people who may be interested in Ubuntu Touch. I may have to help them with general setup and how to use the phone to get what they need though. A number of the "main" apps people use have web-based ways to use them or have an alternative in the store, a way to use the app with Waydroid, etc. I think the smooth edges initiative could help with this. In time, we can expect more apps, etc. However, that does not mean it can't be daily driveable for an average user. It just might be those who have to wait a bit more till it can meet their needs. Those needs kind of depend on the person and how they satisfy those needs can happen in different ways. I can see both sides, and both sides are right. We just have to look at a target population first and then see where and how we can get population growth.

@Keneda said in Smooth Edges (name pending) - Let's Fix the Bugs That Drive You Mad: Yes, kind of. Thanks, interesting. It's worthy of note that - as could be expected - these corporations only provide a way to migrate to their own platform, not from their things to competing services. If you want to go away of me, take care of yourself, they say. Note sure it would be realist to expect otherwise of anyone.

@domubpkm said in Merezhyvo browser: @naz.R said in Merezhyvo browser: So in practice: Sites still share cookies in the usual “per domain” way, But there is never a moment when two different tabs are actively running JavaScript in parallel, only the currently selected tab is alive and executing I understand (I think) what you're saying, but does this change anything about the action / effect of third-party cookies? Does this mean that even if they are there, they are asleep and have no negative spying action? no, it doesn't the third-party cookie blocker is going to be in the next release after the next one, I believe.

@kugiigi Thanks for posting your experience, did you post / find an issue on gitlab regarding it? I am interested in Ubuntu Touch development, so if I get the chance I'd like to work on that, because if something like that worked it would allow portable convergence, which is what I'm after.

@Lakotaubp Confirmed

@pparent I have installed VLC in Waydroid and it works great so a native app would be awesome.

@GooglyBear I don't know how TWRP does it. I would do the following: copy the entire home directory to the Downloads directory use a cable to transfer that copied home directory to my laptop if I need to restore, use the cable again to transfer it to the phone. I've not tried that part, I think. So I'm not sure yet on how to restore but I do know how to backup. Halfway there?

@undrwater said in SOTY - Speech-To-Text Recognition on Ubuntu Touch: @idonthatevests I assume you're using LLM for STT. I'm doing that on my desktop in a python venv. No, I use small ASR models. Running LLM on an old mobile CPU for this task would likely make the speech recognition expensive and slow. And I think the same situation would be with attempts to use it for speech synthesis. So, using LLMs for that on mobile OS is probably possible, but only if you implement it for non time-critical tasks. Yet, in my opinion espeak-ng is still a fine option for that and is highly configurable. I'm still figuring my way around how UT is organized (I use gentoo, and it's quite different). There are many things in UT that are not organized yet, but that's what is great about UT for me, that you can do it yourself! Have fun with your research

@donieck Do you feel confortable to go in a terminal and launch top to look at which process is the cause of this? Perhaps it's an hardware problem ? You could flash back an Android ROM (the same used before installing UT) and see if the phone has a better behaviour.

@donieck Ho. And what's the values in in System settings / cellular / Provider and acces point name / Access point name / internet ? [image: 1764828582699-81241797-8922-44d6-ae68-6dcc0b7eaf57-image.png]

@flohack ?

Solved by first updating to 20.04 OTA-11 and than upgrading to 24.04-1.1

@theprivacydad I guess you would have gotten a much better experience 6 months later: and that's an unfortunate coincidence that your testing/review happened just few days before some of the major needs (Signal, KeePass) were released to the Openstore , and some of the issues you mentioned is just about to be addressed: like modern and stable web-browsing. Anyway you will always be welcome to do an update or a new review in few month/years!

@Futura Do headphones with microphone work? That should at least make the phone a bit more usable. Also, did you post a gitlab issue for it? Maybe the fix isn't so hard as it may seem...

@fair For the Fairphone 5 I've implemented something which should help you, it's available in latest daily channels. The change is here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/fairphone-5/fairphone-fp5/-/commit/13884b434abf95f643f41f04c62b22e73be9fe1c What it does is keep the device awake once Waydroid starts. That means it won't opportunistically autosuspend anymore while Waydroid is running.

@lduboeuf Don't worry alarms can be setted again relatively fast, and calendar events... principally was in CalDAV remote server so... nothing losed. I don't know what happened. Aproxly ten days ago simply just stop working, until... now. Thanks again and if you want to try somehing for debbuging, let me know.
