@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.

@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.

@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.

@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 : )

@gpatel-fr @gpatel-fr said in Smooth Edges (name pending) - Let's Fix the Bugs That Drive You Mad: Are you saying that there is integrated into Android and IOS a way to get at your history from the other operating system and get back all your SMS threads and telephony calls ? Yes, kind of. https://support.apple.com/en-us/118670 https://support.google.com/android/answer/13626960?hl=en&sjid=12124687779136252823-EU And regarding save and restore only (not transferring), Ubuntu Touch targets all user types, not only powerusers, so rsync or things like that is not relevant for the "normal" user. I know work has been done for integrating a save and restore tool to the UBports installer, did see some image even I remember.

@Lakotaubp Confirmed

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

@undrwater it depends on the kernel, hence on the particular port for your phone/tablet, more details in this post

@GooglyBear I have a portable one. Touch works but not correctly because it maps to the built-in screen so it interacts with the touchpad. I believe this is something that Mir needs to support.

Now the microphone is enabled, if some people can test calls, it would be nice to know the level of usability, the presence or not of echo, and the audio quality!

@undrwater Thanks for your interest. You can easily integrate TTS support in your application using espeak-ng. However, espeak data takes 20 MBytes of user storage space. If you want this functionality for Soty server, that would require changing communication protocol for both server and client. It also would not be too hard, but I personally think we should look for a more accurate solution for this task, that could be seamlessly integrated in system, such as speech-dispatcher.

@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.

@vverve said in VOLTE status: Did not saw any signs of a 5G here passing some said as well covered area.... I don't think Fizz provides 5G under any of their plans. Thank you both for reporting on your tests!

said in Enabling MAC randomization: Another could be to stop and disable the mount unit + restarting the phone when staying at home. I have finally decided to finish this matter and found a way to enable randomization (reenable the mount) while keeping the ability to connect automatically to the phone via my local wifi, so i'll be able to test it more seriously. I'll see how it works. With 24.04.1.1 I still don't see any problem with getting the list of networks, I even disabled wifi without intending it and after reenabling it immediately my phone did not crash. Maybe I was lucky this time or the fix for this problem has been merged.
