@potet said in UT and maps program/GPS in the USA.:

GPS providers

Not here to correct anything, just to share 😉
The GPS providers are providing the GPS chips in our phones.

For cartography, you there are several providers for:

maps (vector data representing features: roads, buildings, etc.) tiles (the visual components of maps). geocodes (names for features like addresses or road names which allows to search something in a map)

The first one is served by OSM, the second one is usually a third party service provider and the last one can be nominatim which is a services provided by OSM but can also be part of the third party provider.

Navigation is another service that third party can offer and is able to resolve how to join two different locations.

Hope it can help someone to figure things out or better understand this complex world.

Looks like this is actually happening and coming to Linux Kernel 5.9 / 5.10

Sadly unlikely that it could be backported to ancient 3.x kernels though.

@ell1e said in Any plans to have encryption as an option in future Ubuntu Touch installers?:

All I'm hearing is excuses, to be honest. "It's not perfect, so that makes it fair to not provide it." No, I don't think it does.

Sounds like you might want to get some hearing aids then 🙂

Home folder encryption would already help a lot as you say, but is that in the installer? It should be then

You're more than welcome to work on it 🙂

@kugiigi yeah that's what I'm referring to. I couldn't think of the phrase.

Maybe it would be a good thing LM and Sprint dudes to work together.

@TobsEnd I also have this problem since a few months in devel.

@lduboeuf I dont think anything is in upstream for that, because they never supported RIL properly there. That was the reason for the fork but the ril driver was never upstreamed then. So I think we need to hack into this on our own...

Short feedback: Power button works as expected with 2020-W16 snapshot. Thank you!

@dobey
Ok, thanks. Then I'll have to wait 'til someone fixes this.

@Reload Hi,
You mean that the volume is lowered on its self ???
Or do you want a feature to prevent accidental modification of the volume setting ?

The volume can be set at any time (even phone locked), so accidental modification is possible.
I don't have this issue thanks to a phone case protecting the buttons.

And personally I like to be able to adjust the volume whenever I want.
But I guess this should be considered.

But I'm afraid that if accepted it won't be a priority except if someone steps in and propose a PR.

@mihael no, this probably won't change much.

@AppLee said in swipe to go back:

Maybe a poll can be done if other back your ideas

In my opinion polls can raise false expectations. Unless the community is being consulted on a concrete choice with concrete implementation plans, it might be best not to hold them.

Yes, correct, Linphone should work, but needs a SIP account. Wifi calling enables automatic handover of calls (incoming/outcoming) though any wifi network (when mobile provider offers this features, which is mostly the case now). This is particulary advantageous to call from abroad (no roaming fees), as well as in case of poor coverage signal.

The post at 13 Jan 2020, 23:29 suggests it is possibe to show different blink patterns (but ofcourse all white). It would be interesting to find out how to trigger these different modes.

As for disabling the charging- or message received indication what would be the best way? A menu in the system settings? A config file in phablets home dir?

The led notifications are guarded by a unity8. How can unity8 detect what phone/hardware it is running on?

-Edit-

I have been working on a way to disable showing charging state.
See https://github.com/ubports/unity8/pull/283

@makeixo These devices are not yet available for the regular stable/rc/devel channels, and only have edge channel builds currently.

@Flohack thank you very much for your answer

@Fla that pull request is in dev as of last night and should be in rc for next week. Well before OTA12.

@kugiigi Okay, I passed on the info.
