@gpatel-fr I mostly like "Whatsnew" because "Whatsapp" is a play in word with "What's up?" that is synonymous to "Whats new?"

@Moem There's a known issue with bluetooth where it is in a state where your paired devices aren't listed in the bluetooth page and you can't connect. You could run sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service and see if that fixes it. Otherwise, rebooting may fix it although it might take a couple of reboots

@pparent this could be linked to this change: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/maliit-framework/-/commit/6bd655621fea66af7b9bb3a477b9de072b4939db if it is, you may find warnings such as 'Application attempted to activate itself without focus' in the journal.

@bgriffis Hmm.. yeah, if WiFi being off didn't fix it, it's worth considering whether it's the two APN settings vs one setting thing. Plenty of folks have had it work one way but not the other - mostly I've heard of North Americans needing two separate settings. For me in the past, MMS only worked if I had two APN settings AND the APN & MMSC for MMS did not match the APN & MMSC used for Internet. I got around this by finding a "tethering" APN for my carrier and using that as the Internet setting, and the normal APN for my MMS. I still do get the same message as you, "Could not fetch...", for maybe 10 or 20% of incoming MMS messages, and clicking Download only yields a second (and third, and fourth..) such message. But if the I ask the sender to resend the same file, it generally does work the second time. I have never been able to figure out why this happens.

The takeaway is that you should not change the DNS server for the mobile internet connection using nmcli.

@idonthatevests Interesting. For what it's worth, I'm very confident that mine was glitchy before I ever installed uFirefox. I did have Ambot Installer for the more limited Lomiri toolkit, but I'm not sure whether ithas anything to do with that. Mine always seems to glitch out after notification/SMS. I always kinda figured something about my install was messed up, though I did install what I thought was the appropriate firmware and do the whole MSM&EDL mode thing. I mostly ignored this issue thinking that if it only affected my phone, it's not that important. But it'd be handy if we could pin it down.

@ma Thanks for your suggestion. Things are working now since downgrading to 24.04.1.x RC. I think the 24.04.2.x version had several things in read-only mode (only guessing from reading the logs that were generated). Even when trying commands as sudo, received similar errors "need root access, read access, etc". Appreciate your input.

@mihael Great that it works for you. Here is the topic dedicated to this new app: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11962/whatslectron-whatsapp-web-with-electron

@PhAndersson excellent ! For the record, I remember that you are using Focal on your phone. If you did not look at the last QA for Ubuntu Touch, there was a mention of the 'last' Focal OTA, meaning that 20.04 is on limited life support.

Calls are available in this new app: https://open-store.io/app/whatslectron.pparent

@bgriffis said in Any US users on Mint Mobile with MMS working? Can you share APN settings or any other tricks?: I forgot to add that wifi is enabled and my phone goes between L and 5g depending on where I am in the house. But I did not turn wifi off. Have you tried with Wifi Off ? There is a pendibg fix fo that but not yet landed.

@pparent When we read all the comments of the link i gave in my first post, we see how boursobank users are happy !

@k.nacke Many thanks for all information, most of all for linux-specific quidance. @k.nacke said in Unlock Bootloader – How To Unlock?: No USB drivers etc. are needed, and no need to download binaries from random websites. Gooood point, only after a while I realized that the "lenovousbdriver.com" page is not from lenovo. Thankfully I haven't used those files. @k.nacke said in Unlock Bootloader – How To Unlock?: A good strategy is to use RSA to download the firmware file, and save that file I'll definitely do it. In case it would be deleted in the future... I'll try to install UTouch at weekend and come back with feedback how it goes

If I understand it correctly, you want to connect to the UT device remotely? Via RDP or VNC? There's an app called MirVNCServer. it works but don't expect it to work well especially with input. For the other way around, there's CuteVNC. Again don't expect full features.

you were right port 587 encryption: starttls authentication: plain it's working! (now to set up my fastmail account)

sorry, i missunderstand...

I juste tried on linux-mint : no problem. so, it comes specificaly from Debian distro (and not here daugthers)

@oldbutndy said in Ubuntu touch as PC?: I did find & install snap for Thunderbird a couple days ago. Installs, but not open (actually, a 'fuzzy box with a text bar at top appears, but nothing in fuzzy box). Then tried series of questions on Google AI 'reasoning model' via browser. It had a series of troubleshooting commands to type in to terminal. I did not follow through yet due to sharing the same display between UT phone and main PC doing the AI thread. Summary was AI estimate of required spending approximately 10 hours on configuration, IF using UT on a phone that had WIRED external monitor, USB Keyboard, mouse, etc. AI thought MANY more hours required if using a wireless external display. I gave up on Thunderbird at that point. Please don't ask any AI how to get software to work on UT. Their training data does not contain the required info, and the correct steps cannot be extrapolated from whatever they were trained on, since sometimes the correct steps are either unknown, unfeasible for an end user, or simply don't exist yet. Regarding the snaps from Mozilla (Firefox and Thunderbird, both) they are known not to work on UT as they are trying to use Wayland. They could be forced to use XWayland, but by then one might as well just install the click or the deb.

@hilbert There are no external notifications of messages received for Teleports with Noble. The only way to see if a message is received is to open the app and there the messages received are displayed by contact. The problem is known.
