    @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.

    This is a super long story, but I'll try not to go on too long. My Pixel 3a running Ubuntu Touch 24.04 (24.04-1.3) abruptly stopped being able to send/receive texts/calls a few weeks ago. And it was unable to connect to my carrier's network. I took it to my carrier and got a new SIM card, after which it was able to connect to the network (it shows my carrier's name in the "network" section on the swipe-down-from-top menu), but it still can't send/receive texts/calls. (Also, a borrowed SIM card for a different carrier -- but which happens to use the same network of towers as my current carrier -- didn't work when inserted into my phone.) Mostly just for troubleshooting reasons, I'm looking to return to the stock firmware. (Given that it worked fine and abruptly stopped, I'm guessing calls/texts won't work on the stock firmware, but that'll at least be pretty solid confirmation that it's a hardware issue. If somehow it does work on stock, I'll probably try returning to Ubuntu Touch and see what happens.) I've got developer mode enabled on my phone, and I've got USB in "File Transfer" mode. But adb reboot bootloader gives me Failed to write reboot parameter file: Permission denied. I think this is an error from the phone, right? Not an "ADB can't connect to the phone error" but more of a "ADB told the phone to reboot into the bootloader, but the phone responded with this message" sort of error. Am I wrong to assume that adb reboot bootloader should work with my phone when it's running Ubuntu Touch? That's basically my question. Thanks very much in advance for any assistance you can provide!

    Sorry for bringing up a 4-year-old post. I tested three Pixel 3a devices (RC 1.3). I noticed exactly the same battery drain issues described here. Have any solutions been found for this yet?

    @ralf I tested on three Pixel 3a devices for one week. No active use. All background services turned off. Location services and Bluetooth also turned off. The same behavior occurred on every device. When I turn on Wi-Fi, power consumption increases dramatically. Without Wi-Fi: 1 to 2% per hour With Wi-Fi: 4 to 6% per hour

    @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.

    @danfro Thanks. Unless I misinterpret it, it seems that the sorting by date is reversed: ascending is in fact descending and vice versa.

    @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.

    @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.
