    @nbdynl Directly donating money is always an option but I did try this last year and I got very little engagement from the community. I had asked for a 'promise to donate' rather than sending the money to anyone so there was effectively no risk for the donors as they would donate to the winner directly. When I asked for people to dedicate time or effort to create a reward (images, logos, etc), I got much more engagement. This is great but it can't scale well if you want to get more than 5 people contributing to the reward.

    @AntiMS The experimental Halium 12 build has two reports of succesfull VoLTE - both originating and receiving (non US), and several one way only calls with or without audio. I personally have tried it with all three US networks. Verizon has trouble, but with both T-Mobile and AT&T networks you can receive calls with audio in both directions. However, making a call fails and the dialer hangs. Logs were sent to the porter, and it is suspected that this is an ipv6 vs ipv4 issue. We can help you more efficiently if you join the ubports NA Issues Telegram channel.

    Just made a new test in the office, where I'm surrounded by an ocean of bluetooth devices. Both when using bluetoothctl | scan on and when using the Bluetooth page of the Settings app, tons of neighbouring devices are detected, so the bluetooth stack itself seems functional. But requesting to connect to the laptop still times out. I've also compared the output of bluetoothctl | show on the Quintus (Noble) and on the Pixel (Focal), but I've not noticed any difference there that seemed significant.

    I found the reason for my increased battery drain when using Wi-Fi. On January 26, 2026, I installed an app called "UB Connect" from the OpenStore. ubconnect I uninstalled it shortly after. The app wasn't uninstalled cleanly, and a ubconnect.daemon.service remained in the system. Whenever Wi-Fi was turned on, this daemon would automatically start, but it failed because the app was missing. This prevented Ubuntu Touch from going into power-saving mode after the screen was turned off. After uninstalling and deleting all leftover files from the ubconnect app, Ubuntu Touch goes back into power-saving mode with Wi-Fi on, and the battery consumption is minimal like with mobile data.

    @sixwheeledbeast I guess what I was pointing more toward is that there are situations or people that need a more predictable control panel. To be clear, I like the panel and the one hand scrolling. Its gorgeous to look at and most of the time its convenient. But it does mean that it is not good in emergencies. For example: say I urgently need to: Turn on wifi. I know to flick down just right of the camera notch, and the toggle is reliably about halfway down the page. access system settings. I try to flick down from the right top corner but what page I land on is a bit of a lottery. I then need to scroll to adust the pagu before I can do what I need. It is even worse for the items to the far left on the menu.

    @domubpkm Haha, yes, this way we never get a new release. No, thanks for that. Without testers and issues the errors stay. I did drop the created date, something is funny about that. And I think its not that important to add.

    Hello, I'm trying to update the PinePhone port. I managed to build an image based on 24.04, it also boots. I have the desktop and launcher visible, however when I start any applications, it renders only as a black screen. This seems to happen with both Qt and non-Qt applications (I tested with eglgears_wayland). However despite the black screen, the application seems to be there: for example if start lomiri-system-settings and I tap randomly on the black screen, I see in journalctl that things are happening: new processes start, settings change. If I close the application, the launcher renders once again fine - so it doesn't look that the compositor or anything else would crash. As a test, I installed sway - in this compositor I can start applications and see them rendered also. This makes me believe that it is not a GPU driver issue, but something possibly with lomiri. I was thinking about bisecting it, but I fell into dependency hell, so for now I put this idea aside... Do you have idea, what could cause this rendering issue, and what could I try to solve it?

    @lsitongia I had missed the part where you said you were testing PR packages on the device.

    Since you care about it, you are the most likely person to make it happen. In order to make it happen, what's needed is: the ability to unlock the bootloader the kernel source someone who is willing and able, and has the skills or is willing to learn and who has the device in hands. If all of these conditions are met, it could happen. Since this question is not about any existing port or port-in-progress, it will now be moved to the 'off topic' category.
