@sixwheeledbeast I don't see the same behaviour on my FP5, that is, the FP5 displayed quality is not constant. I have no external way of have an objective estimation of the actual signal strength. Although while I wrote that I noticed that the symbol is now stuck to empty like you said. Restart the phone just now. The symbol is not varying like before. Maybe it's the fact of switching the wanted signal type (5G/4G/3G...) that is making the signal strength get stuck to empty ? I never did that before. Or it was a fluke and the signal strength is really changing fast at my place. While I can't know the real signal strength, last time I checked the official info, my location is not well served (my provider's nearest tower is behind a small elevation).

@oldbutndy said: I frequently print things from Linux Mint (I am 'oldschool', and worked a few years at Xerox, on laser printers, starting about 42 years ago, so I 'expect' to be able to print from any system that is 'office'). I was NOT able to print from Office suite on UT. So, this issue feels like failure. The printing system is not included in the Ubuntu Touch images due to a lack of space for the root filesystem on many device models. Work is currently underway to be able to increase the size of the rootfs. This will enable numerous developments, such as concurrent support for Q5 and Qt6, the transition to mir2+mir1... and the integration of the CUPS printing system. So, it's coming, more a matter of months now than a matter of years.

@domubpkm to handle imported files differently in messaging app, would be a task to solve there. tedit can only hand over a file to messaging app. What that does with the file is defined there. tedit has no control over that. I added the share option to read only mode page too. I simply didn't think of that yet.

@brenno.almeida welcome

@E-Z-Tux idk the chip manufacturer for this tablet but research this: if Mediatek: bootrom bypass & sp flash tool if Qualcomm: EDL mode & Download tool

@oldbutndy yes that is the desktop version .....i desperately want to give you something to test but the ut version is still just too broken im going for EXACTLY the same thing in both desktop and UT versions ....that is not easy as you would think ...i promise soon i will have something for you ...im actually excited your excited

@MrT10001 hey, i was able to unlock my bootloader i found a guide on XDA to edit my registories on windows regarding USB ports. Usb3fix.txt FOR ANYONE READING THIS. PLEASE SAVE THOSE LINE IN A TEXT FILE AND CHANGE THE EXTENSION TO .bat AND THEN RUN IT AS ADMINISTRATION. then i could run the unlock.cmd file and it ran flowlessly. thank you for your help.

No, no change. I'll open an issue; that'll be more efficient. I've started the French translation on Weblate.

@projectmoon Can you do journactl -r | grep 99captive_portal ?

@pparent Many tries later - with a failed speechmessage too - unexpected: sending a picture works fine up to now. Later I will send you a screencast of the failed picture insert before. Btw: installing the screencast App failed... AppStore always returns to the green "installieren" button!

If someone could tell me the exact version of OxygenOS (meaning 9.x.x.x) which works for them I would be interested. Like this if I flash it and it's still unstable I will suspect more a problem of battery.

I’d actually prefer to do without META products. But that’s hardly possible. My music mates, tennis pals and other friends only use WhatsApp. For my UT as a day-to-day device, there wasn’t really anything useful like a quick-check app to see what’s going on with certain WhatsApp users (groups) who organise all their appointments and updates in groups. WhatsNew never really worked for me. Too slow, too cluttered. This morning I installed Grennlines. It’s a really good project and a perfect solution to my unwelcome WhatsApp dependency. Many thanks for the solution. For me, the current state of development is already perfect. It starts up very quickly and has everything I need. Let me buy you a bottle of wine!

@pparent For the record I never commented on this problem because I had not yet seen it but I recently observed something that looked like it: I did pass in an area without cellular support and when going back to civilization, the cellular data did come back but no routing it seems, as you describe. I'd need a Faraday cage to confirm.

@steffend I understand now why my search for Pixel9a on the forum didn't get anything, it because of the space... and that's why I don't include it to make searching easier.

The problem has resolved itself somehow. As of now everything is working as intended. I will post any developments that might arise. Thanks.

@KJU Just to point out, Ubuntu Touch is the name of the mobile operating system that you have installed and given good account. UBPorts is the charitable foundation that helps develop and finance Ubuntu Touch through donations and sponsorship.

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?

One of the most interesting parts of this for me is the focus on mainline kernel support. A lot of alternative mobile/Linux devices struggle long-term because of outdated vendor kernels and limited maintenance. If the hardware can stay close to upstream Linux, that could make the device much more sustainable over time for the UBports community.

@ikoz i see, so it is that easy on public hotspots in general unregardless of the os i use, that uhh sucks
