At this point, the real concern is not Tor but having a simple internet connection on the UT volla, this lack of internet is my case, even in OTA-14, others only on dev and rc channels. Already getting the basics right, i.e. normalizing cellular data problems.
The positive point is that I flashed (without solving my problem) several times the volla with the last installer and it works great!

@paulmbcufc Well done all sorted.

@chriss_toni Good your sorted. Please mark as solved using Topic tools ask as question, then solved. Thanks.

@vasya Hmmm... 🤔 Then I am afraid I do not know how anbox is already installed on your device.

@lakotaubp ok thank you

@lduboeuf yep, that text_0.txt seems familiar ^^

@bmarkman I am no expert by any means here; I have had an Ubuntu Nexus 4 for three weeks. But have you tried to just hold the buttons to see if something else happens? I know I did it a few times, but I forgot if I held the buttons till I saw the robot again.

Basically I just did this a couple of times following the steps until I saw big orange circles on my phone flashing like a strobe light (I didn't know that meant the OS was installing).

EDIT #2: Also I'm pretty sure at least once I ignored the installer's instructions and just hit continue. The installer is actually more efficient than they give credit for, but it's not as easy as installing Ubuntu or Zorin to a laptop. It's kind of like 2008-level desktop install, you have to "beat it up" a bit. Just be persistent, because once you get the orange flashing circles it's just waiting for it to show up. But it took me like 5 tries (I actually installed it twice because I didn't know what the circles were. I almost did it three times but while I started to research the circles I saw the Ubuntu Touch loading screen). Good luck! Have confidence with it. It really works well on this phone!

@cliffcoggin I actually have 2 because the first one is really cheap and I thought it was defective so I refunded without returning. Then I bought a not so expensive from Xiaomi. Both works but I still need to bend this plastic cover a bit more 😆

@mihael No it is a well known issue and already reported.

@wangyinghao Try asking here: https://t.me/UbuntuAppDevEN

@flohack Okay, thanks for clarifying that for me.

@flohack Yes I have noticed that messages only will appear when I wake the phone. I mean the power usage isn't horrible, the phone will last about 20 hours without use... not bad considering it's simply a backup non Google/Apple phone. Great port though

Hi, I'm very pleased you were able to fix your issue.

Can you use the "Topic Tools" (icon with a little gear) and first ask a question and then mark it as sovled.
I might help someone find this issue.

@thelymp Hello

yes u need to revert to 7.1.2

u don't need twrp to revert to 7.1.2, u need only to access the bootloader.

but then u need the twrp to install ubuntu touch as u have to format the data to destroy the encryption.

can u please explain why twrp won't work for u ?

good luck

Well I think I am going to give up and move on as adjusting the edge sensitivity with the UT tweak tool was no help. My phone must have hardware issues. The phone is too hard to use with the issues and I'm not sure I like the lack of a home button and back button in general.

Thanks for everyone's help.

@applee thanks for the reply. Good to hear.
I bought my (refurbished) N5 a few weeks ago and I am still figuring out, which bugs are "normal" or seen before.
So far, I turned it off a few times, cleaned the plug, plugged the headphones in and out several times*, but it didn't affect the issue. I was outside in the cold for some hours when the problem occured. Now in my warm room, it suddenly works again. Maybe it's simply temperature -> contraction/expansion of materials... I try to reproduce it in the next days. However, from now on I will always take my headphones with me. And, I guess I'll just buy me a Volla-Phone...

Best regards

*did you know, that the volume gets turned a bit louder everytime the headphones are plugged in? It got really loud after some switches 😲
