    Hi Zaito, so sorry for delay, I have only just logged on in ages. I tested it on GS5 only - installed UT 24.04 because it was the only way to make phonecalls when 3g packed up. Nothing I did enabled Waydroid to persist. Meaning that if waydroid was closed for any reason, you couldn't reboot it without a completely fresh installation. This rectified in June with a new UT update. Everything works well in both UT and Waydroid with one exception; there is no clipboard on waydroid. Which means you cannot copy or paste anything in any circumstances. If I need waydroid copy facilities I have to use another phone running UT20.04. Hope all is well.

    How can I connect a Linux computer via ssh / openssh to a Ubuntu Touch phone when it says "ssh: connect to host 192. ... port 22: Connection refused"?

    @anna That is as I expected. Although I hadn't realized that ufw was installed by default. But it does make sense that it is disabled by default. Ubuntu Touch aims to be a consumer ready mobile OS. Firewall administration is considered an advanced feature, which the typical user is not expected to need to deal with. And even then there would need to be some form of graphical settings page to simplify administration of the firewall at the very least. Furthermore, it is not really that ports are blocked by default on Ubuntu Touch, rather that there are no services running on the phone by default that are listening on any ports. This is the reason nmap flags the ports as closed. This is also the reason why it is good practice to only enable ssh temporarily, and also only when your device is connected to a trusted network. In this case having a firewall would not make ssh usage more secure.

    @taiga-woods said in Messages App does not work: @lduboeuf Wow thanks, that was easy - I just deleted the folder and rebooted So know I can read new received SMS again, but I do not have the old ones. Anyway, that's not essential. I copied the folders from a Nexus 5. Are there other known issues when copying data from halium 9 to 10/11? I still haven't transferred the dekko2-files... Idk for Dekko, should be good as the issue is only related to a change in modem account name

    No and VoLTE is not new tech it's been known for almost 5 years that 2G and 3G were being phased out in the US. Cambodia went totally to VoLTE in 2015. and many others have as well, just not the EU. An interesting link relating to the NEXUS 5 from 2014 https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2014/07/qualcomm-announces-first-large-scale-commercial-volte-launch-japan

    @lakotaubp Thank you so much! That was the "get out of jail free card" tip that allowed me to make it work. NOTE: for anybody following. First set up your Gmail account in Settings. Then click the > arrow and that gives you two slider buttons which allows you to sync either/or or both the Contacts and the Calender.

    Yes, I also thought it might be device-specific since the Volla Phone 22 is still relatively new. I opted for a re-installation (which is a quick and simple thing via the boot manager) and now the problem is gone -- I hope for good.

    @mrt10001 Well, that was my first thought too : I had already attempted to rebuild a clean install from the UT installer when I discovered, and it failed. After reading your message, I decided to go for it one more time. And, for whatever reason, it's working. Nexus is back and in its greatest shape (OTA 24). Thank you for your help!

    Thank you guys! I tried again a new password and now it has been working for two days. So apparently the special characters were indeed the problem. Very strange. Works with both host names.

    @myrcy we have been working in the "North America Carrier Issues" Telegram group and have determined the best (well, only) way to have full service (calls in / out, mms in / out, mobile data) until UT supports VoLTE is to use 2G mode, which has not been shut down by T-Mobile yet.

    @keneda And you're smarter in not using them. I've had my accts for years and really should move on myself.
