@miloessence Switch device off. Hold home button and Volume down and press power to go into download mode. In download mode attach device to pc and run Odin. When seen in Odin, find the do not reboot and untick it. Flash the recovery (TWRP) through Odin. When complete, turn the device off. Unplug from PC. Then using the correct key combo, boot into TWRP. Sideload /e/OS from there.
UT is nicer on this device.

@Ben_Ben Just adding a note that this might result in issues if you are not familiar with doing this, or make a typo. You might end up needing to reflash. Thanks to @arubislander and @moem for mentioning this.

@arubislander I uninstalled Webber some time ago and started to use simple browser bookmarks.
The reason is, that you have to add every URL ((sub-)domain) a website might use. Otherwise there's a fallback to the browser which has no passwords (cookies) stored, keeps opening new tabs etc. which is an annoying behaviour.
E.g. for eBay I had more than 20 URLs. And always another one came up (hard to catch due to forwarding) and I had a fallback to Morph again. To add a new URL I had to create the Webber-Shortcut again and add every single URL...
If Webber was able to reopen a shortcut with all settings made, that would be a game changer (or didn't I just see that option?).

I could revive this if your suggestion works, but I'm afraid you have to tell me how to add the user agent header and which one (maybe there are options in Webber. I have to install and check first)...

@YamiYukiSenpai What do you see when selecting Lomiri from the lockscreen? BTW, I chose gdm so I still use the default lockscreen where I just choose Lomiri from the bottom right button.

@clUB28 Ok, I will try and point you in the direction of sorting this out.

Try this first. Open a terminal where your fastboot and adb drivers are, have the device in fastboot mode (the bootloader).
The Pixel 3a has slots, slot a and slot b. In fastboot try this command:

fastboot --set-active=a
Then boot the device.
If that fails, try:

fastboot --set-active=b
Then boot the device.

If that fails, reinstall Android and start again. I have done the below on my Ubuntu machine as well as Windows 10 and 11. (Chrome Browser, not Chromium is required)

You have to have the phone on the stated version of Android in the installer: PQ3B.190801.002

Link to this.

Your bootloader has to be unlocked.
Use the Android Flash Tool addon and Google Chrome to flash your device to the correct Android ROM - Choose the Flash link. It is the easiest way and clearest way if you have not done this before.

Do this when installing the ROM (just before):

Force flash all partitions - ticked
Disable verification - ticked
Disable verity - ticked

It is in the menu on the Android Flash tool. This will stop the device hanging at the Google logo.

Once You have installed Android and set it up, then go through the UT Installer procedure.

If you are OK on the command line and you wish to try with out Chrome have the device connected in fastboot mode to the PC and download the Link ROM rather than the Flash, extract it, open a terminal in the folder and run the flash-all.sh,

@CatWithUT I have heard back from the person in charge of the backend of the Shop. The issue is definitely not on your end; it's caused by the Shop software being very old. It's being updated soon. In fact the migration has started and it's currently being tested.
In other words, this issue should be resolved soon. Thanks for your patience!

@AppLee
thank you
cp config config.bak .It's my habit

@arubislander Very helpful information, thanks. I still got my Pinephone with my Pinephone keyboard. You never know if someone adapts LibreOffice for the Pinephone screen in 10 years from now. But next to it I went back to an Android phone with Softmaker Office.

But then will buy also a Pixel 3a as a privacy phone with Ubuntu Touch, and also to get used to a Linux phone, since I am against Google products. Scrcpy is nice for my Android phone, but I am happy to have also a solution for the Pixel 3a.

@kuailexs Thank you

A new version 1.27.8 has been uploaded to the OpenStore.

I realize I have neglected this thread a little, but rest assured, Syncthing has been updated following the upstream project all this time.

In other news, I am considering discontinuing the maintenance of the Syncthing snap. I lack the time to keep that one up to date and it has been lagging behind for some versions now.

Fortunately there is a 'competing' snap: and the maintainer keeps it quite up to date with upstream. I have already moved my servers over to this snap. So this is a heads-up to anyone who might have also been using my snap. I will provide migration instructions when the decision has been finalized.

Get it from the Snap Store

@uwahl I have been able to replicate this behavior.

What I also noticed is that even after rotating the image, the width and height in the image information stays the same. So I am guessing that the image is not really rotated but that some metadata is written to it showing how it should be displayed, and that the preview app does not apply that information.

Now, I can also login with key and without password.

@Fuseteam tested on my FP4.

The switch beetween headphones and speaker is automatic, music playing works well but when I have a call it switches back to phone speaker. I have to re-enter this commandline after reboot : pacmd load-module module-udev-detect

@Fizz maybe you could fill an issue on UTTT GitLab to "add a reset all settings to default button" ?

@MrT10001 I found the settings didn't work for me with up to date samsung phone. However changing the following to

Apn type : default,supl,mms

Having done that all working fine for me

I've seen this in some applications. Does the button come back if you go to concertina mode (app spread) and then back to the app?

@AppLee @Bolly
I see no easy way to do this.
However I apreciate your replies. Thank you!

@arubislander said in Slow download speeds with UBports Installer:

@alagirialagiri as this is a support question, I have moved it to its own thread and a more suitable category.

@MrT10001 After Rebort System, the phone will restart and then enter the fastboot interface. adb is Scanning for devices will appear in the downloader. If the phone is restarted, it will remain stuck in the fastboot interface until the system is reloaded
