    @hankschwie hi mate, so at long last the latest update has sorted the reboot problem - this is version 280 of Ubuntu 24.04 as of 26/06/2025. I don't know about Fairfax phones but have a Gigaset GS5 which I used the Vollaphone 22 with new screen install. Phone works, Ubuntu works, and now Waydroid is back..... These folks are truly amazing

    I have the same issue using facebook in the morph browser, I just cannot keep track of where I was in my feed when clicking on a post to read it. It must just be a new facebook "feature".

    I to have always found turning the hotspot on for my OPO a pain. Most of the time it can take up to 7 plus attempts from the settings. I hardly ever can get it to activate via the notifications bar. With the latest releases it dors seem to be getting better but still not perfect by a long shot.

    @locamama Copy paste does work for me but can be tricky I must admit. I also have libreoffice installed in libertine via system settings Libertine setup. If I remember correctly I might have added suite to the end don't forget to restart after installing and refreshing X apps scope. Anbox is tricky and not recommended for daily driver. There is a specific section on through forum for that will add link later as on mobile now. Last one never tried will have a go though.

    @dtarrant hi, another user is commenting that the forked Recorder app is not working in his N4 either (I've pinged him). Fwiw it's working fine in my N5 and in my BQ E4.5

    @mawil1013 hi, I've never heard anyone with that kind of battery issue. Can you try to leave the phone until its battery is "empty" and then, with the phone turned off, do a full charge? Maybe that will re-calibrate the battery.

    @mawil1013 Dekko 2 from the openstore works well with gmail. Just make sure you go to your Google account security settings and allow insecure apps.

    Quick update and resolution! The new slimport cable came yesterday, and all trace of errors regarding a connection to my monitors is gone! I'm typing this post up now on a converged Nexus 5 with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Great stuff! Don't use crappy knockoff cables for video out!

    If your are streaming from a cell phone to a big screen,don't forget the quality you receive, to your cellphone is a reduced quality to save data. whis may give a bad result. There must be someone with knowledge of this kind of thing could let us know what happens here

    Did anybody manage to make any progress on this issue? I also have no hotspot option in system settings on my Nexus 4, now running 16.04 OTA-5. No amount of toggling the flight mode switch makes any difference.
