    @hlbkv gnome software can handle debs and flatpaks (and on Ubuntu also snaps I think). The app itself is a deb, so it is not surprising that it can be installed. The apps that end up being able to be installed with it are probably also debs.

    Just an update, I gave up on trying the KDEConnect workaround. I did some deep investigation on resolving the issue within Waydroid itself, and documented my progress. It's definitely a feature-request in Waydroid. https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/211 I haven't done any more work on it for a while, since my last post on github. There are a few libs being used in Waydroid, which I linked to, which have sparse documentation. I don't have deep enough knowledge of these languages and platforms to be able to fix this easily - not to mention android's workflow for builds. Wasn't able to do a build of LineageOS on my PC; some incompatibility with package versions. It'd be nice to resolve this for everybody who uses Waydroid, but IRL is taking priority for now.

    @C0n57an71n haha :smiling_face: I've been in Venice this summer and yes by night it's not that easy. I used PureMaps just to see my approximate location and the direction I had to head up. Then I checked my position mostly on bridges with less signal bouncing off the buildings. To be more on topic, I'd say that's also why we have the forum. We can ask question like this one, debate wether you needed help then wether or not to open a feature request.

    @Fla In Teleports, I don't see a search box where I can search for groups. I can only enter a contact by phone number. Or is the option hidden somewhere? The main screen is blank with a menu in the left top corner, with saved messages, contacts, settings, night mode and about. I could't find a manual for Teleports. I've gone through the menu items, but don't see how?

    I had a similar problem this week. (BQ 4.5). It kept crashing on reply to email. Half the problem was me because I had forgotten to update the phone with new outgoing server data but once this was done, it still kept breaking. Deleted Dekko and re-installed and issues have been resolved except for trying to change the email signature which won't update correctly. I suspect that Dekko has an issue with overwriting/updating configuration files, hence the need to reinstall and enter data afresh.

    @ThePossessor Yes I agree that it is an extra super paranoid scenario. But maybe fixing this issue will help implement this feature so it could be a nice addon to Ubuntu Touch's security measures. I prefer having a fixed MAC address because I use it to identify my phone in the network. And of course it can be spoofed, but it's way more comfortable this way. You'll always have to balance convenience and security.

    I think this happens in most distros if not all. Not sure why though and if it's fixable.

    @kugiigi said in 16GB Storage Limit ?: There was a recent update on the Pinephone which is related to storage. Probably this will fix the issue on the Pinetab as well so try to switch to devel and see. I am not sure though how in sync the developments for the Pinephone and PInetab though. Also, I think the PInetab only has 32GB EDIT: Sorry, I was thinking of the convergence edition of the PInephone I switched my PineTab to the development channel and it sees the correct size now. Thanks !

    @onehuman said in Mounting Phone to Computer: Is there a way to mount the Pinephone with UBPorts to the computer to view the files and folders inside of it? In principle, you could connect it via USB, set up ssh as others have mentioned, and access it via ssh. (There are also some file managers that support ssh if you prefer drag&drop.) BUT due to a hardware bug in the Braveheart and UBports CE versions, their USB port cannot do anything else but charging. (If you are very good at soldering, you could fix it. Sadly, I'm not.) https://www.pine64.org/2020/07/15/july-updatepmos-ce-pre-orders-and-new-pinephone-version/ (long post, search for "elephant") Luckily, there is an optional serial connection via the Audio port(*). Pine64 is selling cables, or you can build one yourself. The folks over at postmarketOS list the specs: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone) (*) Enable via dip switch
