    Just wanted to mention here, that Signal UT should now be a usable client for basic chatting, and will keep improving in the coming 2-3 month: https://open-store.io/app/signalut.pparent

    Ubuntu Touch isnt much known to be still alive, i think that it needs more social network visibility, ideally not only those for nerds (masodon) but also having news on platforms where normal people are (fb?)

    @domubpkm I guess, the osk option does keep formatting. tedit option inserts text only.

    @aenima Oh good! Glad to see that now it worked. And that's right, regardless of the device used, under Ubuntu Touch, you should never relock the bootloader. At best, OTA updates will fail; at worst, the device will be completely bricked.

    Very Nice initiative, thank you for that! For me the most annoying bugs on my volaphone 22 on Noble are: Priority 3: Daily Use It often looses celular data connection. I have to go to settings and switch from 3g mode to Lte/4g again to have access to internet again. This can make me miss notifications on top of that. Note that I use dual sim. Sometimes the phone will boot with only one of the 2 sim working or even none of them, and I need to reboot again. (On top of that if it boots with only the second sim, it will change all the defualt parameters to SIM2 in cellular config, and keep this even when the phone reboot with Sim1 so that I need to change it again each time). Gps position does not work reliably in webview, seemingly because of a problem of orientation/compass (see https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11572/gps-location-does-not-work-anymore-in-webview-noble?_=1764026186209 ) It's important for me to be able to ask google maps for public transportations itinerary. Priority 4: Polish It's too slow to take a picture or video inside the camera app (too much delay), and sometimes it fails to record and won't let me record until I reboot. The interface is sometimes kind of sluggish, or will freeze for a fraction of a second (or even few seconds sometimes), it's not very fluid or snappy. And it seems to vary, during some periods it seems more fluid and other very slugish, I'm not sure what explains it. (Someone told me it will improve with next Halium upgrade for the phone, we'll see). Other than this everything really works as a charm. I'm really starting to feel that I don't lack anything in the phone. It's way better for my everyday life than 6 years ago when I started to use UT as a daily-driver (with a Nexus 5). I should mention that battery life is extremely good for me. One charge can last 48h +. Ps: I did not mention QtWebengine upgrade because it's an already ongoing work, but it is clearly a priority for me as well.

    @DJac said in bugs on UT agenda: for exemple : i create a event (all day) from 10 decembre to 15 decembre. Result : OK i deplace the event to 20 decembre. it seems te be from 20 to 25 december. but after validation, it jump from 19 to 24 december. and when i want to change it, the probleme persist. Ok, go ir, i have a pending fix for that, but it needs more work since it has side effects...

    @TotalSonic it seems there is at least a bug to fix before implementation of a setting: https://salsa.debian.org/ubports-team/lomiri/-/issues/54 With help of bounties it could occur sooner than later: https://os-sci.com/lomiri#Contribute

    @bekun Yeah that's the ideal functionality. On Android, that works fine, at least on Samsung phones. In UT, all touchscreens are mapped to the built-in display. I was talking about on the desktops. Gnome have the same issue while KDE Plasma handles it fine.
