@Nocturn-Adrift You can do that yourself using Edit Account under your account icon/picture top right of this page.
Is there any particular reason for leaving?

@alagirialagiri said in Obsolete devices. On the "promoted devices" page.:

Iwant to know why android devices are choosen for porting?

What else could be chosen?

Why not only ubuntu touch OS installed hardware device may be choosen?

Because there are very few of those and not everyone has the means to buy one.

@spyphi Thank you so much Philippe!
We all make mistakes, but the important part is to fix them when it happens. I'm glad that you found a way to catch my attention, giving me the opportunity to make things good for you.

@Kinuk
Welcome here, bonnet rouge friend 😁

You can also consider donating to help UBports in its work, any amount is welcome ^^

Thanks for your kind replies!
Currently the Volla X23 is out of stock, I do not know yet, if I will risk to buy a Gigaset GX6 ending up with a phone with Android only.

@Dunbrokin If you want to report a bug, your first port of call would be the link in the Support section in the listing of the app in the Open Store. Sometimes it links to an email address. But more often it links to an issue tracker on github, gitlab or some other online version control provider. In the latter cases, you will probabl need to have an account on the platform before being able to report your issue.

If it is just some question you have about an app, then I guess posting a query on the forums would be as good a place as any.

Fairphone 4 kind of replaced the Nexus 5 as the recommended device to maximize convergence however, it is not really ideal due to its price and availablity.

Worth saying though that desktop mode on an external display isn't exactly usable in its current state. It's too buggy and unstable especially due to some regressions after the focal update. So if you intend to actually use it for real tasks, I'd say it's not advisable to do so.

@klh hi,

I can be part of the work if you wish ( except c things in ofono 🙂 ), i'm not very much concerned by unwanted calls, only have few sometimes, but i know it can be very annoying for users.
this is something really needed.

I've read some Sailfish OS forums about it, apparently the filters are already in place in ofono but lots still to be done:

The enablers are there - our ofono supports sms/call filter plugins since last year (yes, something is happening!). When I designed those interfaces, I had this feature in mind too. If we had enough resources, we would have done the remaining parts already. The remaining parts are (as I see it) 1) on-demand dbus service maintaining white/black lists and logs, 2) ofono plugin (for actually ignoring sms and rejecting/dropping calls) and 3) ui to configure white/black lists and view the logs. If somebody is willing to contribute, I'm could review the code (and the architecture) but at this point it looks unlikely that someone at Jolla would start to actively work on it this year. Unless someone does it during his vacation 🙂

Thanks for the discussion guys!

Gave me some insight of Snap. Its going to be a interesting future of that I think. Personally I have to wait for volla as kernel and such goes through them.

And I pay $3/mo for sip service. That price has gone up to $5 for new subscribers. That, and my $10/mo data only sim makes the monthly phone bill $15. So, not as expensive as regular phone service in the US with the big three.

@projix You might want to look at this. Not sure if it is what you want but it is possible. Since it is ran on a container you can still do OTA updates.

@Moem Thanks Moem started to answer this morning then got side tracked.

@domubpkm Is this a recent thing? I don't remember having a problem with this when I switched months ago.

As for the OTA update, I think it will only be offered/notified to devices that are already in focal stable. I do remember a plan to also offer the update to xenial devices so perhaps after some time, this will happen.

I found the answer: the little drawer icon on the right is the 'mark read' icon. Click that and then you can select what to mark read. Clicking 'all' will mark everything read.

@JamesSunderland Personally, I don't know. But the principle is when it has been decided that OTA-3 is much better than OTA-2. And it’s always this approach for each new OTA.
