Hi @Equareo

I just read your answer to a newcomer asking about Signal on Ubuntu Touch.
This kind of contribution is really appreciated and shows qualification.

If this kind of contribution is registered in time then it counts as a significant contribution.

Also acting on your suggestion would also be a valid contribution.
One of the goals of the foundation is to help organize the development of Ubuntu Touch.

Spreading the word, trying to gather people and motivate them to help is also a valid contribution.

I'm not trying to push you @Equareo, my message is for everyone that feels that only technical skills are valid.
What @arubislander is trying to do and what I try to also highlight is that a lot of you people on this forum are too shy or maybe intimidated or even unaware of how the foundation works.

I was in this situation few months ago.
But decided that I could also give back the community by also helping the foundation.
Donations are important, but volunteers are mandatory.

@thedeafenguy - T-mobile announced that they were temporarily delaying the 2G shutdown in the USA, but have not announced a revised shutdown date yet. I think it will likely be shutdown in 2025 though.

Just to share my experience, few days ago Waydroid stopped to work for me with my Pixel 3a on 16.04 Stable channel. I was then forced to pass to 20.04, since I still need to have whatsapp in some ways available. I thought that upgrating from within the OS itself straight to 20.04 it would have been a good idea, avoiding using the Ubports installed but it was a great pain instead; it upgraded to 20.04 but OS resulted severely broken. In fact any kind of gesture I was used to was slower and unresponsive most of the time. Phone storage was awfully clogged, 60 GB nearly full for no apparent reason like if the new OS installed along with the old one. Subsequently, I decided to employ the Ubports installer without selecting the wipe option in order to preserve my data but it never ended the process, after many attempts with different usb cables (at least 5 cables I tried). There was no way to resurrect the phone, therefore in the end I was obliged to try to install by means of the Ubports installer but this time tapping on the wipe tick, to install from scratch. It worked flawless and now I'm on Focal 20.04. Unfortunately I lost some of my data, but luckily I was wise enough to backup at least my personal videos and pictures. The new environment seems much snappier than before, but I'll report my experience on that in a few days to get used to it.

First thing I think is to set your expectation. It'll be very hard to completely abandon iOS/Android. I managed to only use UT for around 5 years but had to have an Android phone as secondary phone in the past few years. Some things are just not possible on UT. There's Waydroid to try some apps that you need but not all will work especially those that needs security checks and such. Waydroid also drains the battery.

X and Proton Mail can only be accessed via the browser/webapp. Proton mail doesn't support the usual email configs (IMAP/SMTP) so you can't use Dekko. There are a few Reddit clients in the store though not sure how good they are compared to just using the web version.

We currently only have Morph as the browser with Sapot browser as a fork with a bit different UI but still the same web engine which is sadly outdated right now due to technicalities.

@domubpkm yes, possibly changed since the last forum upgrade a few months ago.

I use ut focal on a volla x23 as my daily companion. The volla has 5000 mAh and I have a runtime of 2-3 days. I get along well with that.

@lduboeuf, @Moem, @GT, and @Vulpex

Thank you all very much for your responses. I have started to try some of these out. Webber is the first one I downloaded after reading these. It makes a lot of sense for this echo system.

I have my old phone for a bit longer and hope to make the UT phone my only phone moving forward. I am thinking of trying the dual sim out so I can receive messages from the old number for a bit. I want a new phone number from the area code I live in instead of the area code I grew up in.

Thank you all for your help with my transition to UT.

Thank you for share with us.
