@sven im running 16.04. But its my waydroid update thats the problem. Rotate doesnt work in PDF reader or movie players or internet. Ubunu is fine.

@Luksus Yes I did register.

@sven I will ask Volla support....!!

I would consider it to be quite stable and usable on Oneplus 5t.

@saveurlinux Thanks. Yes, I have tried that. If I am lucky, I get an error message... [image: roh0d6P]

same here

Thanks to everyone for all of the help and feedback!

@Dieter42 said in No video transmission with messengers: Have Ubuntu Touch a special firewall-config for Waydroid ? I don't think so. It should have pretty much a full access to hardware (or rather the Android firmware which UT is also using) with the exception of some things like networking as it doesn't have access to the telephony stack for instance. However I know little about this

@kugiigi your guess was right. i can remember it darkly now. Changing the value to zero was the solution. Thanks to both of you for your help, Stefan

@cr9c here is your solution https://www.reddit.com/r/waydroid/comments/13e619n/how_do_i_write_to_waydroid_files_from_arch_linux/

Yes, just use a second smartphone for WhatsApp. The Waydroid thing is good, but I've also had problems like this with other manufacturers. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Or ask in the support channels for Waydroid in Telegram. It's just too annoying to wade through 100 groups. You get used to Google and Android by necessity, so to speak. Many people still use the WhatsApp data cracker.

For the record, it's possible to select a GAPPS compatible ROM within waydroid, using the following command: sudo waydroid init -s GAPPS At least in my experience though, even though theoretically it comes with Google Play Services and the Play Store, Strava wouldn't work. I believe it might have something to do with Google Play Certification, see here -> https://docs.waydro.id/faq/google-play-certification

@JohnnyT23 Install Waydroid Helper app. Then choose Uninstall Waydroid in the app.

@treebeard on UT changes to fstab are not persistent. In the latest OTA's waydroid and all dependencies.should already be installed and just need initializing. Maybe contact the porter of your device for more information.
