    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?

    @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.

    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.

    @sverzegnassi The new UX default Scope / screen mockup looks very nice. Nonetheless, even though that the Scopes idea will be dumped, I would expect that we would like to show at least same information as before on the UX default screen. Meaning we will keep the function code of the Scopes and will throw away the UX parts. So, when would you expect to get the new UX default screen running? How would we migrate from the Scopes to the new screen causing as less as possible loss of functionality (since at least IMHO some of the functionality of the scopes is really helpful)?

    @UKPhil Thanks for your answer, if I read your comment I should be a lucky guy with a running ubports on my BQ M10 FHD... I've flashed my device by using my desktop-pc with ubuntu 16.04. LTS, a usb-cable und the "magic-device-tool". There was no problem, it works perfekt. Wipe and upload the image to the device without any trouble. I am really happy, because I am only a User and I don't understand what is happening behind the GUI ! When I start the device the first screen is the white screen "BQ powered by ubuntu" and it takes more than 2 minutes before the ubports-screen comes up. From this time the device boots quickly forward... The OS ist ubports ubuntu 15.04 r1 By the way, it's the first time I am using a forum and post something, perhaps can your remove my posting to the right place...

    @Eureka I believe "mr_nice_guy" is a generic name for a user. Use your actual username for this. On the other hand if you are running this within Ubuntu you don't need to create a container, you should use the other set of instructions without creating a container.

    Since a couple of days ago I'm having issues with GPS in my Nexus 5. Whenever I try to use uNav, after I tell it to get the location, a black screen appears with "GPS access disabled". GPS is enabled. Also: the GPS indicator is always full white, even if I disable GPS. Curiously it was working perfectly only two or three days ago, and I haven't received any updates or changed anything in my settings AFAICT I'm on 15.04/rc.

    Yes in facebook basic you can see messages and you can send messages but it is not the same thing. Before installing Ubports Fmessenger app worked.
