    I found a "workaround" for now:

    You can get "somewhat" around the sending issue. Type enough so the "Expand Text Box Arrow" is usable (or move you finger around the text box a little (up works very often), for some reason the arrow shows up then too), press it and now you can press the blue send button to the right. It is far FAR from working / good but it works for now. That also allows selecting and then "overwriting" the current text. That can be considered as a "backspace" workaround.

    ALSO: Signal-Desktop uses more battery then it should. It uses a far less if you close it and reopen it and don't open any chats. IDK. why.

    @ds2k5 said in Signal stop working after switch backup Ubuntu and back zu Signal:

    How to setup if close the App
    that the app will closed that I do not need to do it by hand

    Getting Waydroid apps to work more like regular UT apps is still a work-in-progress. For now you probably have to use the work-around you discovered.

    @nightshift Thank you for your help 🙂 but I tried this before and it does not fix the issue. As i mentioned above, even before I install anbox-ubuntu-touch I have the issue with the camera. So it has to be something in that anbox img that causes this issue.

    Hi @dobey. I hit the same problem than you and found out that I need to:

    Add the number to the UT contact app first In the Signal app, tap on "Import contact" Select all contact (even those who doesn't have Signal, that's the quickest way) Import all contacts: only those known by the Signal server will be imported Your new contact is there, and you can write to him. If it doesn't receive the message, reset the security keys

    Unfortunately I am only able to test on the Oneplus One at the moment, my Nexus 5 experienced a soldering iron-related hardware failure. I have a new motherboard in the mail (again, at my expense 😉 ).

    Everything seems fine here. I wonder if the calling issues you're experiencing are related to an interaction between Ubuntu Touch, the Nexus 5, and your carrier. I can say that I used a Nexus 5 daily for 7 months on an AT&T MVNO and only missed a call when I had it muted (that is, because I was a dumbbell, not the phone).

    Since this has deviated from the "Please help revive my Nexus 5" topic, I'd like to ask you to open a new thread to discuss this problem. Please include information like your carrier and any patterns you've found between when calls work or do not work.

    @TischlerWilly I have a similar behaviour with nextcloud...
    When I add my account it works fine one time, than later on the update is too fast and nothing is really updated.
    I found a workaround.
    My Nexcloud account was linked to two or more apps. Now I set an account for each app and it seems to work a lot better.

    Hope it can help.

    It's a bit a workaround to get notifications on signal, but it goes like this:

    Get UT Tweak Tool: https://open-store.io/app/ut-tweak-tool.sverzegnassi Open UT Tweak Tool -> Input Password -> press the menu -> app scopes -> Signal -> Turn on "Prevent app suspension" Open Signal, in each conversation for which you want notifications you open the conversation -> menu - > turn on notifications leave the signal app open and running the background and you should receive notifications when messages come in.

    It's definitely got some quirks...

    @TotalSonic Unfortunately so far there are only additional issues with this:
    https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1192
    https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1193
    https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1194

    However, maybe with the new Mir we could have some of these apps compiled against Wayland and packaged as click packages. Unfortunately though so far I was unable to run such Wayland apps at all on edge. There is probably something I am missing required but until more people are using it I am hesitant to ask how to proceed with it.

    @arubislander
    I now deleted all my old accounts by deleting the corresponding apps. I then checked the accounts folder, it was empty of all files. In the meantime I had received an update. After rebooting and after reinstalling my nextcloud app, I could manage my accounts again. All working now.
    Thank you once again for your assistance.

    I finally got an honest response from Ting. Apparently their website has a known bug and I was shipped the wrong card. It worked perfectly after the replacement. As for metroPCS, I think they have some king of firmware authentication required on the phone (another good reason to switch).

    I thought the same issue from two distinct sim cards (one known good) would rule out the sim cards as the issue. I was wrong. Sorry about that.

    @83jnsn If you want to reflash your Oneplus One back to android/cyanogen a quick internet search will solve that. Other than that after reinstalling UT with the wipe option your device will have all the same OS files on it again. So not sure why the screen is not working, unless that is unrelated to the first issue. Sorry if misreading your question.
