@Simmonz Interesting. Have you tried contacting our Volla mates in their forum? There should be a more straightforward way of doing that. One of the benefits of such phones is that, since they have total control of the drivers, one can unlock the bootloader and lock it again after installing UT. Cheers.

@Simmonz I have moved your topic so that it is more clear to everyone what device you have. That was relevant for your question, but you did not specify it at the start.

Indeed, this is a general issue with 20.04 OTA-9, and is not related to VollaX. Some apps fail to update. I guess that there's something regarding with 24.04 compatibility layer... For now I ignore those updates, and will wait for the next OTA-10 / 24.04-1.0 to update them again. [image: 1757793889979-photo_2025-09-13_22-02-17.jpg]

@aaronm @aaronm said in Volla OS (Volla Phone x23) to Ubuntu Touch: @aaronm Hey All, I have finally installed UT following this: https://cloud.hallo-welt-systeme.de/s/He9ZsS7Kmn6X7Cr Hi, the link is dead now. Can you please elaborate, what was there? A guide on installation of the UBT on volla x23?

Replying to this because here we are a year later and I had the exact same thing happen to me. I had ordred a second X23 to mess around with and ordered it with Volla OS but it came with UT and am having the same errors as you. Two questions: What is "sideloading" ? Is it a different way of saying dual booting ? Any chance I can get those zip files off you in some way or form ?

@Simmonz Can be worth playing around a bit with APN settings for MMS. I needed two separate APNs for Internet and MMS. I was able to use a tethering APN for my Internet and the nornal one fot MMS. Some seem to need this, others have found the opposite, that it only works with combined Internet and MMS on oneAPN setting. I still lose about 1 in 10 of incoming MMS messages, but at least I get a notification. If you're able to test VoLTE, I'd be very interested. I believe it should have a VoLTE icon in your indicator bar at top when connected on a call if it's working properly. Insights on call quality, and whether SMS works normally with VoLTE enabled also welcome. Too bad about reception. Not sure why it would be worse with same device on UT vs Volla OS. Thanks for the info!

Hi @jojumaxx said in Running Waydroid fails...: Do you mean this list? I sense that you're not talking about the same list. @arubislander was probably referring to this one: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/vidofnir/ The "waydroid" feature is shown as: Partial = Working to some extent but with issues Clicking on this link leads to the actual issue. And it's the same as the Quintus. https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/waydroid/-/issues/24 But wait, there's more; this issue is not really one, but instead it's a workaround made by Jami in order to setup waydroid on both devices (Volla X23 and Quintus)... And I hope that this is the answer you were looking for.

I had this behavior already in OTA-7. I don't remember, when this started, it wasn't always this way. I also can fix this only by booting while the charger is plugged in. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. Good to know, there's no issue with the battery.

Updated successfully. Thank you!

Oh well,they appeared back after a phone restart, please ignore

I have a Volla X23 with Ubuntu touch and would like to install the Volla OS operating system. Because I'm just used to Andriod. I found instructions on how to install Ubuntu touch, but nothing the other way around, from UT to OS. UBports is already on my Windows computer. Developer mode is also on. but for me, who never has done an installation at a phone, its difficult to understand how it works. To me it seems like the whole thing doesn't run quite smoothly with the UBPorts software, because even after installing the OS (where did the installation go?) it says "Fastboot is scanning for devices". Can anyone help me around here?

From what I have found out from TheKit is that most parts needed for voLTE are merged but have not reached 20.04 Devel yet. When volte is working there may still be an issue with the x23 in the USA may well be the bands and the up coming Quintus may be a better option.

Thank You. I contacted them via email and got a reply, that the update will be available soon. However it takes already few weeks since the reply. Might be I just have to be more patient.

When will there finally be a subcategory for the volla x23? The device has been around for a long time now.
