    I found a temporary solution (passive antenna hardware under $100). Limited to 1 very specific location (semi-moveable), but it solves the main problem: ZERO cell signal in rural basement office/workshop. So, it might enable me to really start to use UT: I installed a directional outdoor cellular antenna ($30 ebay) on a pole outside, aimed it generally toward a cell tower (based on map search), connected 50 ft (17meter) of cable (single piece of coax), then indoor antenna ($12). No amplifier. Indoor antenna is mounted horizontally on a plastic base a few inches (75mm) above office desk (formica surface, on sheet metal frame), and set cell phone (Nord N10) on top. Phone now has enough 'bars' (3 or 4) to use voice calling and exchange SMS. Location is open workshop / office, so I should be able to hear ringing and most notifications. Preliminary testing, but initial results are encouraging. Only issue is, has to stay VERY close to antenna (and orientation probably matters. Not tested yet). I mention this solution because a no-amplifier system might work for others, and is fairly cost effective. I might still order a used amplifier, which would enable moving phone away from the antenna (to anywhere in room).

    Sorry for the previous noise... I continued working on that issue and I believe I now have a truly working fix : Gps positions continuously obtained for over 24h, twice. For that, I had to patch two repos, touching both the android side (hybris) and the linux side. While examining the code I realized I also could upgrade it so that the fp5 can now use more than than 32 (gps-only) satellites and provides more data (notably altitude uncertainty which was blank in sensor status so far). When the weather is clear my phone sees ~80 sats outdoors, but the android-side code clips at 64, and I'm not going to fight that... With the 64 sats clip the fp5 now still gets fixes indoors at my place while before it would stop when getting inside. I'll post the corresponding merge requests in the two repos in the next days.

    I've just published version 0.1.6, that corrects the app that was broken by a change upstream in Whatsapp web; Here is the changelog of the version: Adapt to a change upstream that broke the app Improve ContentHub to Import/Export files Fix broken app on 24.04-1.x daily I've only tested the main features, I've not had the time to do a comprehensive testing before releasing the new version, but as it was broken it's always better to have something that works. If you find any new bug, or thing that does not work anymore with this new version or since change in Whatsapp web, please do not hesitate to report.

    @haagch That liberux phone looks interesting ! Sadly, far out of my phone budget - even the redesigned, lower cost unit (current, compared to last year).

    (I had reported not enough space on 2.x in Telegram before, but in that case, I was able to install 2.x but ran out of space when installing anything for UBports Quality Assurance.) I think this phone has a lot of memory and the partition size (or whatever is the case) can be increased for 2.x.

    @oldbutndy while I'll not opine on the 'funny' side (it has left me cold, but I'm a bad customer for standup artists, I find them mostly a waste of time), it's actually a good presentation, I have looked at say a dozen of UT videos and they were usually either uninformative or far outdated and this one is a decent job.
