    @ikoz , I have. It does not go passed the 'Preparing to download system image' message. I think it is also stuck somewhere.

    @thedeafenguy Thank you, but following the steps in this order and doing other order that I can think of does not help. I'll take a look around and see if I can find out the steps needed to back up and restore my text messages and photos so I can do an absolute re-install leaving nothing behind.

    Ok try this. Set a static IP address of one of the access point to the lowest IP address available on the router and set and set the DHCP to auto. On the other AP, set the IP to a static IP to the highest IP address available on the router and switch off DHCP. Makes sure that both access points have the same SSID. Make sure the WPA-PSK key is the same. If there are roaming settings, set them to high or aggressive. (I haven't done this for a while so had to research to refresh on this as all the children have at last moved out :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: and I stopped doing it for clients). Oh, and make sure each access point channels are not the same, overlapping channels usually interfere and cause confusion, I usually set them to 6 and 13.

    @linuxlion It would seem both of us were going about this the wrong way. On the login page (you would need to log out of the forum first to see it) there is a Forgotten password link. Here is the direct link: https://forums.ubports.com/reset

    @nogoogle There is an odd issue with the PP not sure of PPP where if the device has a sim pin when you set up the phone it causes issues. If the sim has no pin all works fine. I found this out by trying each way. You might find out more by going to the Pine 64 group on Telegram https://t.me/utonpine Another similat issue is that the APN settings "green" switch does not stay on either,

    Any Gigaset device is not officially supported by us. There have been many discussions on here about that. Some have got UT running on Gigaset devices but you need to be careful.

    No audio unless media player is run as root

    Update: I found the solution. At least when using command line programs like mplayer. UBports on the PonePhone seems to default to trying to use PulseAudio, which doesn't work. It needs to be using ALSA, but the regular user account selects the wrong ALSA device by default. For some reason the root user gets the right device. I used the "aplay -l" command to get a list of local audio devices: $ aplay -l card 0: PinePhone card 1: sun9ihdmi It seems the regular user is selecting card 1 when it needs to be selecting card 0. So to play audio with mplayer (or other audio players) I need to manually specify card 0. With mplayer that looks like this: mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0 audio-file.mp3 I'm currently looking for a way to make this selection permanent and consistent for all audio players, but for now I can at least funnel audio through mplayer on my PinePhone.

    @etdoughe Thank you for the link. I now can transfer data via usb using the recovery mode ;). Although I would prefer a OTA-26 release which fixes the usb issue ... or at least a patch or something, but you can't have everything ;).

    Yes, the firewall stays active after rebooting. I've also checked if the firewall was perhaps circumvented by looking at the NAT log of my router. No entry, so it seems to work. Another idea might be: If you, say, currently need Cloudflare for surfing the net, then you could enable just these IP ranges by making a separate text file and running this command: while read line; do sudo ufw allow out from any to $line; done < ip-ranges-cloudflare.txt I only changed in the first script "deny" to "allow". These would be the IP ranges: 173.245.48.0/20 103.21.244.0/22 103.22.200.0/22 103.31.4.0/22 141.101.64.0/18 108.162.192.0/18 190.93.240.0/20 188.114.96.0/20 197.234.240.0/22 198.41.128.0/17 162.158.0.0/15 104.16.0.0/13 104.24.0.0/14 172.64.0.0/13 131.0.72.0/22 2400:cb00::/32 2606:4700::/32 2803:f800::/32 2405:b500::/32 2405:8100::/32 2a06:98c0::/29 2c0f:f248::/32

    #1: 12/24hr clock does indeed seem linked to system display language as Luksus wondered. It'd be nice to be able to change this independently, I agree. But maybe pretty minor in the scheme of things, and the folks doing development have a lot of important work going on. I'm able to set mine to British English, which is close enough to Canadian English, and gets me a 24hr clock. #3: It's hit and miss for me too on whether apps where I've disabled app suspension work when the phone's locked. On my Oneplus 5T when I shut the screen off, audio playing in Morph cuts out, as do voice calls over Jitsi, but Podbird keeps playing and normal phone calls work fine. Recorder keeps playing on playback mode, but will stop recording.

    Firefox has been packaged with click already https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/. Last commit was 4 months ago and it works. There are some minor issues, (with workarounds), like keyboard sometimes not opening, and to scroll by touch you have to install the "scroll anywhere" extension.

    @ceric You can wait, but don't get your hopes up. Chances are slim this device will be brought up to Focal.

    @CiberSheep openssl ciphers | grep -i 256.gcm does reveal that there are several AES 256 GCM ciphers installed on Ubuntu Touch 20.04. But not having ever used ProtonVPN, I do not know if the right one is in the list.
