@shcarl276 UBports doesn't have support, exactly because it's not a business; it does not deliver a service. What we have, as you noticed, is places where users try to help users. Places like this, and Telegram, and Matrix. I have to disagree that a functional system is characterized first of all by satisfying the needs of the overwhelming majority I don't think that is true in general. More specifically: Ubuntu Touch is not made for the overwhelming majority. It's made for the adventurous, the tinkerers, those who do not wish to join the mainstream, and those who wish to get away from Big Tech. We will in all likelyhood always be a minority. And that's fine.

@projectmoon exactly i dont mind confinement anymore as i used complain because i didnt understand now i do and i see ALOT of missing api thats why i made "workspace" --->still needs lots of testing but i have to say im not happy having to make a workaround solution ....as it kinda breaks the whole design point ..

@shcarl276 said: It's not the matter of the devs not being ABLE to do something. Sorry, but I disagree. This is not on the dev's plate.

@Moem Yes, I thought so too, and it matches the description in the wiki. https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_Touch/UT_Tweak_Tool/ In my tests, however, the opposite was true. There might be another reason for this. I’ll repeat the test with different scenarios and log the power consumption in sleep mode. -10 hours of standby (all apps with background suspension) -10 hours of standby (all apps without background suspension) In any case, battery consumption in standby mode (accessible only via phone calls and text messages + alarm clock function) can be reduced to a minimum. It feels like a Nokia 3210 with up to 260 hours of battery life, with the difference that modern smartphone features are available at all times.

"Places" case solved. What I obeserved in short: At startup, "Places" is created and provides shortcuts to standard folders (immutable): Home, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Video, Network and Root folder. These folders can't be deleted from there (no trash can symbol). This list is expandable with any folder. These are removable, too (trash can symbol on swipe right). "Music" folder was deleted (accidently, I didn't realize at first). "Places" tried to provide a link to this non-existent folder which ended up with a ".". "Music" folder was recreated and appeared at the bottom of the "Places" list while "." still existed. After a reboot, "Places" got organized again (or rebuild by scratch). "Music" folder could be referenced again and "Places" was rebuilt as intensioned and looks normal again. No "." for a folder that could not be found. Sorry for causing this confusion and any inconvenience. It happens, when you're chronically overworked.

@hlbkv said: @gpatel-fr The installer doesn't seem to detect the device this happens to me when trying to reinstall my Fairphone 5 that works correctly both before reinstalling and after, so it's more a shortcoming of the installer than a blocker. @hlbkv said: states one should have Android 11 installed here it's more mixed unfortunately. If you had already installed 24.04-1.2 and it worked correctly (as far as the device page for this device states it) I think that you can proceed nonetheless since all that the previous Android version is leave the correct device drivers in the Android partitions, so if it worked before it should work after. A caveat is that a hardware problem could have developed on your device in this case there is not much that software can do. After all, so far you are the only person having such trouble with updating to 1.3 from 1.2. If not, it would be wise to give more details on the previous situation before going further.

@Privacy-freedom You need to gain a bit more experience to create a .conf file properly and ensure it works as intended. Don’t forget to make copies of your working settings. AI can also be helpful.

@AdFundum yes, it was a bug! i reported it to the webmaster and it got fixed immediately

@bunt7 You can find a workaround script, for Network connectivity jump here: https://forums.ubports.com/post/95548

you need to go to settings and set your usb to tethering ....there is your internet connection it should just work when you plug it in and connect ...if im understanding you correctly?

@projectmoon ..... WTF, it wasnt there but now it is!! Luckily I took a screenshot of when it wasnt there. How do I share images on the forum?

@Stefano Hello! I've had my phone for a few years now, but it's been sitting in the drawer for a while. I couldn't put the Ubuntu system back on from the Flyme system. But now I finally did it and thanks to you I now have the "latest system" on it I'm happy now! Thank you very much! It's true that it won't be for everyday use anymore (I'm using a 6-year-old Huawei Mate 40 Pro Plus on it), but I'm glad that I managed to put Ubuntu on the Meizu

Changing the DNS server solved the problem

Since this is not a device question, I will move it to Support and mark it as a solved question.

@arubislander yeah i was just double checking cause you know? idk i just didnt want to be rude lol but thank yeah ill drop it eventually rn im working on a esp32p4 project
