    Hi! After a vendor image update about 2 weeks ago I can't unlock my waydroid installation anymore. I tried to erase and reinstall waydroid, without erasing the personal data, to get the recent vendor image, but the behaviour does not change: waydroid is starting, but after trying to unlock it (with the correct pattern, it gave an error message after an incorrect try) it returns to the screen asking me to unlock it and so on... I am using a fairphone 3, recent 20.04 dev channel installation, waydroid installed via waydroid helper app. Any ideas how to solve without erasing the data?

    Thanks for the update. I just noticed that on an already installed libertine you need to edit ~/.cache/libertine-container/first/rootfs/etc/apt/sources.list changing the URLs therein to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu Cheers

    @chaosdelphin said in Telegram Notification: buntu_one accounts there Guys look at this list: https://github.com/ubports/telegram-app/issues - there are 54 issues with Telegram, you think notifications is special? Think again, plus we are about 1-2 years behind the official clients, in regard to features. We are working as fast as we can, but we are no fulltime devs... BR

    @marathon2422 said in APN Settings.: @tupp I cannot see a problem,just check you can send /receive pics,in messages. Thank you for checking the link. For IOS, Android and Windows Mobile, there are differences in the APN information and the way that it is entered with each of those platforms. Since Mint Sim (the carrier) seems to have no clue about Ubuntu Touch (nor to have any inclination to correspond directly with customers on technical matters), just checking if I can send/receive pics could be a costly and time-consuming gamble for me. However, since Mint Sims rates are so low, the reward is attractive. I might "bite the bullet" and buy a 3-month plan to see if I can make it work with my Ubuntu Touch phone. @libremax said in APN Settings.: APN settings are in System Settings / Mobile / Carriers I do not see "System Settings > Mobile > Carriers" in Ubuntu Touch, but I do see "System Settings > Network > Cellular." @libremax said in APN Settings.: I never had to set APN though To get full functionality, Mint Sim (the carrier) requires manual entry of some APN settings, in most cases. Thanks!

    Ubuntu Touch on a normal (Flyme) Meizu Mx4?

    I read a lot this days, and seems that Android version of Mx4 have the preloader locked. Unlock Bootloader and use SP flash tool is not enough, because we can't acces to the partitions. But the information is from last year, people saying they are so close to do it. But in this year I don't see information yet. PS: Meizufans.eu doesn't work fine to me, I don't know why, but I see so few topics in the forum, and when I search in a Browser, the links of forum send me to another link.

    @joebeach you can, if you install an ssh server on your desktop and open the firewall. Then, in the mdt menu you can change the backup mode. I even dont bother with my PC but instead back up to my cloud server BR

    @UKPhil Thanks for your answer. As i said, on dev mode, now we are in 51, i don't have the double boot. But it was a strange bug in rc because sometimes i had double boot, sometime simple boot !! I'm no sure of the raison but since i manage to fully desinstall (i was in dev 50) indicator torch that don't work on bq 4.5, everything seems ok. But i stay in dev.. and wait the last stable ota. I don't have long time boot on my m10, i am on RC.

    Thank you! I googled the dial string for my provider www.Fonic.de (which is a O2 company here in Germany) and one has to dial (put a * symbol for any word 'star'): star star 61 star 333 star star nn# (with possible value for nn: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30). And it worked, 15 was the default.

    @Flohack If you don't know there is not much chance of me knowing I knew my way around programing (machine code) the old Sinclair ZX81 but other than maintaining a basic website or two over the years and keeping our linux computers at home updated and working I've let that side of my knowledge get very rusty in the intervening 35+ years. I really appreciate the effort you folks are putting into maintaining and developing this OS. I use my phone daily and hope, when it finally gets too old, that there will be a good open source OS to run on my next one. Preferably UBPorts.

    @vadrian89 It has to do with a couple of things as far as I know. The size and colour of the circle has to do with the amount and also time it happened. Last month is calculated as well.

    After several unsuccessful tries I have installed TWRP. Wiped the device. Then installed "recovery-turbo" again.
