  @wgarcia Thanks for moving the discussion, but most of these issues are already reported on GitHub and I reported them here somewhere already some time ago.

  LED: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/48
  A bit cumbersome to frequently enable the screen to see if there's a missed notification. The blinking green LED like the BQ would be great.

  Call volume: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/137
  This can get very troublesome when there's some background noise in the room. Sometimes it's almost impossible to hear the other person properly.

  Beep: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/49
  Just a small annoyance, although the beep can be very loud depending on where you are :-).

  WiFi disconnects: I'll have to describe it properly and submit a bugreport
  This is a big issue for me. When the extender has stronger signal than the router, the phone disconnects and wants the password again. This means I can't move around the house without getting disconnected all the time (30+ times/day). The BQ would just seamlessly switch over. I see you even have issues without extender. After disconenction it should just autoconnect without requiring a password again (it is saved already!).

  Sorry for the ignorance, but what is "wireless display"? I think this device can connect to an external display through the slimport (with the appropriate cable adapter), I tried this and it works perfectly, but the 15.04 Unity 8 desktop is not too much developed. But it doesn't have as far as I know mirachast or whatever it is called like the Meizo Pro 5 to connect wirelessly, does it?

  @free.rage, oh sorry. I don't know what's happening with that file. Has you check out the file permissions?

  It would be good to be able to modulate the vibrator power, since i cannot remove vibrator for SMS notification (on my pro5), i only have choice between "sound and vibrate" and "only vibrate". So allways vibrator on even if i put all the parameters i see without vibration ... This is the case since i move to ubports, with ubuntu touch from canonical i could reduce the level of vibration or remove it if i remember well.

  Success !
  After backing up the data with the magic device tool, I switched channel by using the following command in the terminal on my ubuntu 16.04 desktop computer from the wiki:
  sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --channel=15.04/rc
  No data lost, everything is still there and active.
  Thanks @UniSuperBox et. al.

  @vandys, you can try to play with loadkeys, dumpkeys and showkeys in the terminal.

  I don't know for the graphic session though. Maybe there's some template somewhere but I didn't investigate it yet.

  Flashing E4.5 fails with: wget: unrecognized option '--show-progress'

  I did it manually with the steps from the documentation. I did not wanted more problems with the outdated Ubuntu on my wife's laptop. All my other laptops and netbooks run FreeBSD.

  I'm happy now having one of my BQ E4.5 flashed to UBports and know that this was more easy then expected. This means that there is some kind of future for my devices and having an Open Source mobile.

  Thank you all for this!

  @UKPhil Totally agree, ubuntu touch is not "desktop ubuntu".
  In fact for there to be convergence, you need to port the applications and execute them in a container, this is done like this, because it is not "desktop ubuntu".
  If we have chosen the path of ubports has been to have something new, not the same mistakes of the past.
  If in 15.04 we have errors without solving, that it serves to have 16.10 (the lucky ones that can clear) with new and old errors.
  If the developers have problems, imagine the normal users that jump to ubuntu phone.

  @janvi Thanks. Have found some detailed instructions on using sp tool on a bq phone, so will follow those and check as I'm doing it. Think its something I'm doing when trying to use the terminal commands to get it running.

  @lnxsr said in UT on Nexus 10:

  "This phone needs restoring from a PC or service center."

  I got that error message on my Nexus 4 back then when Canonical developed Ubuntu Touch. The solution was my usual solution to delete the local cache and run again.

  Your case is different since you use the MD Tool to install, but that tool seem to have similar problems when the cache gets corrupted. I would therefore suggest to remove the cache and run MD Tool again.

  To remove the cache you do: rm -fr ~/.cache/ubuntuimages

  @hudson It is explained here:
  https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/Release-Channels

  I think from what you show you are in 15.04/stable, but you can confirm it with the instructions in that page.

  With "old" Canonical OTA-15 used by Ubuntu 3,8 GB. Free storage 9,5 GB. Used by other (pre-)installed Apps 1,9 GB. Other files 172,8 MB. In my case...

  Hopefully the fix for the different version numbers will be implemented soon and both will marry up, as this clearly is creating confusion for users.

  It would be good if apps were uninstalled via the old Ubuntu Store method as that is clean and easy and it is a known method now.
