@AppLee Thanks for your help. Setting phone in fastboot mode was the missing link, after enabling it instalation went fine. I had to enable repartitioning of internal storage otherwise I ended up in boot loop.

@domubpkm jep its like back im the days using Caffeine on some linux distro's

Also, if you are using windows, the phone's driver must be installed once when the phone is on, and again when the phone is in fastboot mode.

@TheKit Your fix has been applied on surya kernel by @ywmaa. Users have reported on Telegram that UI freeze are gone.

@Kamikaze @Kamikaze said in Questions before upgrading to Focal: Now I realise why domubpkm in an earlier comment wanted UT Tweak Tool available for Focal. https://gitlab.com/deathmist/ut-tweak-tool/-/jobs/4304232784/artifacts/download is the best focal UTTT avalaible currently with missing functionality outlined in https://gitlab.com/myii/ut-tweak-tool/-/merge_requests/109. Thanks @deathmist for his work about UTTT.

@danfro said in Volla x23 error camera app, wrong gps metadata: hope the fix will land soon, but I guess I will need to ping some people to check it. Then it will be released either with a new release of camera app or the next OTA. Fingers crossed. Thank you very much and I'll keep my fingers crossed! Advent greetings Charly

@Lakotaubp said in Please add the x23 in the subforum for volla devices: Is the X23 on Xenial? The Volla X23 is on focal from the bginning. When I look at the categories, I see the cell phone manufacturers and the models as a subcategory. Volla is there and all models except the X23, which has been available since this summer. I would ask that a subcategory be created for the X23 as well. Greetings from Charly

Thank you very much for the detailed answer! How can I report the known errors for ota-4 to help? GPS info in photos incorrect Workaround for LTE necessary otherwise only 2G Change volume during phone call Etc.

@kristatos said in Focal : why no new milestone (OTA-3) opened ?: Is there something that is blocking OTA-3 from releasing/going to RC? AFAIR a few QA-episodes ago, I think it was @Flohack who said this, it was told, that there are some issues with the build architecture and that's the cause for the delay. Are there still some showstoppers like that or what's the reason? It would be nice if somebody could explain why OTA-3 is (in my eyes) almost frozen for weeks. Thanks a lot. Should be a matter of few day if not already done. OTA-3 annncement in preparation

@arubislander Thank you for your reply. I will wait for OTA 3. Someone said it's just around the corner.

@domubpkm I've tried this and switched from stable to devel and back to stable again but it doesn't fix the problem for me. Also on devel the video recording was not functional. Maybe I'll reinstall with wipe option to see if the problem still exists. Edit: Reinstall with the installer doesn't bring back recording. Only running through the installer with "wipe"-option brought back video-recording. I don't know what exactly was broken, but now it's working again Edit2: @mihael I found out, that it has to do with the cache (~/.cache). I don't know which cache exactly, but it's easier to delete the cache than reinstall+wipe the phone. The only app that doesn't seems to like this is dekko (you have to reconfigure your E-Mail-accounts). But you can try to save&restore the cache for dekko instead of deleting it.

I also experienced this issue, which makes the 20.04 unusable for me. Doing calls with the Phone is fundamental. Thanks @ixsvf for the link, there is actually some recent action.

@s12345j said in Focal for MI5 phone?: now I want to refresh to the latest version. I understand, but you can't. There is no Focal for your phone. Maybe there will be, but currently there isn't.

@patlefort Il you want to open an issue for the volla 22 : https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/volla-phone-22/-/issues

I recently installed UT on pixel 3a and yes battery drains way faster then it did don't android, May a future update will fix this issue.

@kristatos : Thanks for updating your post!
