    @odo According those who would know, UT has the best battery life of the different mobile linux's on the same device.

    @Keneda (FairPhone 4 on Android 11) hello I'm new to this , but i followed every bit of instruction and so far i cant use the earphone adapter and it was working fine before the UT install , even on desktop mode the audio stays on the device ( FP4 ) ,i really want to be able to use my earphone adapter, but idk if a reset from UT will fix that o a couple of command lines, but i seriously don't want to go through the reinstall A11 to reinstall UT Thanks.

    PS: if you know a way to help the GPS going that would be awesome

    Thanks Again

    @Suleiman Today the installation worked fine. Maybe it's because I used another USB-cable, or because I unchecked "Wipe Userdata" and "Bootstrap" in the Installation options.

    I'm so happy. Now I hope the Jingpad can work as an everyday device.

    Fresh install today after a long hunt for the right model.

    Worked very well - getting the device unlocked took a slightly different approach than I am used to but worked none the less.

    Install went well.

    Stuck on boot screen for a short while - restarted and realised I should have been more patient on a first boot (not for the first time! 👼

    Have to say - so far - downloaded a few apps = works like a charm

    Currently on last devel build from 9th Jan 2025 - and very impressed so congratulations @rubencarneiro once again.

    Been after a working tablet for UT since selling on my (very) old Nexus 7 2nd Gen and this is a delight in comparison.

    @walidham Any chance you still have the V20 port working? I just flashed it last night and got it to boot to the ubuntu touch loading screen but no further. I can get at it over SSH via rndis but I was wondering if there was a newer image or way I could build my own image?

    Long term I want to work on porting and run phosh or sxmo and a mainline kernel, but you seem to be one of only a couple people to ever successfully run linux on the V20 with working video.

    Also, if this patchset ever gets finished and includes msm8996 will that allow video to work in mainline (since it would add DSC support)? https://lwn.net/Articles/957064/

    @ubuntoutou Check here on this thread.

    Check this out on TWRP. You can use TWRP to access partitions. This can be helpful in data recovery or making a backup. I do fear that you have lost all due to using the installer.

    @retrocountry As far as I know, a version for that device does not exist, so that would need to be created. This is what we call porting, and that device has never been ported. If you want to learn more, here is the porting guide.

    Hi,
    I am using Ubuntu Touch on Shift6mq.
    I like to swap between Wifi Data and Mobile Data.
    The Wifi Data usually gives me a list of Networks and which one is connected.
    However, turning off Wifi Data, then turning on Mobile Data; then access internet, then turn off Mobile Data; then Power off and Power back on:
    The Wifi Data is set on, but there is no list of Networks. Access to previously accessed Networks does not work.

    I have not found a way to reactivate the Wifi Network from this condition.
    Can anybody help?
    cheers,
    Steve D

    It seems, there are not many Quintus running Ubuntu Touch out there and since I have been asked about working features I thought I'd make an entry here for those who are interested.
    Since there's no Quintus sub section, yet I write it here until it can be moved to its according place.

    I took this list from the Ubuntu Touch device page.
    I don't have the device for a very long time, so I will update things marked "untestet" (❓).
    These are my personal observations on stable channel.

    Actors:
    ✅ Manual brightness
    ❌ Torchlight
    ✅ Vibration

    Camera:
    ✅ Flashlight
    ✅ Photo
    ✅ Video
    ✅ Switching between cameras

    Cellular:
    ✅ Carrier info, signal strength
    ✅ Data connection
    ✅ Incoming, outgoing calls
    ❓ MMS in, out
    ✅ PIN unlock
    ✅ SMS in, out
    ❓ Change audio routings
    ❓ Voice in calls
    ✅ Volume control in calls

    Endurance:
    ✅ 24+ hours battery lifetime
    ❓ 7+ days stability

    GPU:
    ✅ Boot into UI
    ✅ Hardware video playback

    Misc:
    ❓ AppArmor patches
    ✅ Battery percentage
    ❓ Offline charging
    ✅ Online charging
    ❓ Recovery image
    ❓ Reset to factory defaults
    ❓ RTC time
    〽 Shutdown / Reboot (see bottom)
    ❓ Wireless External monitor
    ✅ Waydroid

    Network:
    ✅ Bluetooth
    ✅ Flight mode
    ❓ Hotspot
    ❓ NFC
    ✅ WiFi

    Sensors:
    ❓ Automatic brightness
    ❌ Fingerprint reader
    ✅ GPS
    ✅ Proximity
    ✅ Rotation
    ✅ Touchscreen
    ❌ Double touch to wake

    Sound:
    〽 Earphones (see bottom)
    ✅ Loudspeaker
    ✅ Microphone
    〽 Volume control (see bottom)

    USB:
    ❓ MTP access
    ❓ ADB access

    Reboot not always working. The screen turns off but it doesn't come back again. Hard reboot is necessary.

    Bluetooth earphones work. The USB-C to 3.5mm adapter that came with the phone works, too. Another one I tested does not work. So this depends on hardware.

    When listening to Music in the Music App, sometimes sound goes completely down on switching tracks. Same happens occasionally when switching position in the video app.

    In some cases, but especially after the container has been frozen, Waydroid does not start again after having been closed/stopped. The only workaround working for me is running

    systemctl restart waydroid-container

    in the terminal (sometimes twice). Then Waydroid will start again.

    @wally I bought an MS Wireless Adapter V2 a few days ago. It works (my Pro1-X runs Android 11), but there's some lagging (sometimes it freezes a little bit, as well), and of course it not as stable as a HDMI cable.

    @Antares86
    What do you mean by latest ?
    Most recent phone ported or most recent port whatever phone release date ?

    Anyway take a look here for UT 20.04 devices : https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/
    One of the latest device is Fairphone 4 (Fairphone 5 incoming), ones of the latest ported devices are OnePlus N100/N10 5G.

    @stoyanov_vl Reboot the device and leave it alone for about 10 minutes after booting up, the screen may kick in. I have had similar issues on other devices with a screen replacement. Another thing to try, if that fails is to back up data and do a clean install of UT.

    @Lakotaubp
    I got a Pro¹-X yesterday and can report that installing UT using the UBports installer went very well, very smoothly. The build seems excellent, better than on the OnePlus 6T, which has a few glitches. Only glitch I've discovered so far is that flashlight doesn't turn on from the Battery icon switch. A sub-forum for this device would be helpful. Shipping was delayed for a long time but the company has a push to fulfil orders lately.

    @Moem yes, I did. But the very first question I cannot answer is: should I use the full system image or halium-boot method or the stand-alone kernel method. I don't understand the differences.
    As I mentioned: I'm not very familiar with mobiles.

    @rugby There is a huge lack at this level and yet a real demand. Nothing new on the program. There is only the Sony Xperia X indeed, although not very recent. As a user, this mid-range smartphone https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_xcover_5-10718.php seemed like a candidate for its price, size and performances, although I don't know anything about the feasibility of a focal port by a developer.

    Hi @AppLee,
    with UT works:
    -Sim card with Data
    -WLan (not so strong then my other devices)
    -Foto
    -Loudspeakers

    Video (Browser)

    No Function:
    -GPS

    @kugiigi thanks but I am not on telegram.

    I searched for a good UT Guides, Firewall, VPN, Apps and etc. Any hints from the community which longer have their Hand on UT?

    Edit because of GPS!!!:

    be aware everyone of the following issue:

    Yesterday I tried to check the GPS functionality with this:

    https://docs.ubports.com/de/latest/userguide/dailyuse/location.html

    I turned on WLAN, insert a SIM Card and connect the charging cable.

    15 min the device was very hot and shut down. I had recognize it to late because I only looked the display.

    After that I let the device cool down and booted up again.

    Greetings
