    @tacetion so is it up and running with UT? A prototype is well worth keeping, collectors may seek something like that out..... It could also have had a screen replacement...

    @kugiigi Hello So I dont have another phone with display out so I cant test that unfortunately. I do agree that the hub seems to be what determines what issues I have. I dont have major issues using any hubs with my asus laptop to charge and display out and the laptop draws more power than the phone. What hub do you use?

    You can't install a phone that hasn't been ported. Porting means creating the unique installation files that a specific device needs. The Pixel 4a has not been ported, so there is nothing you can install, as far as Ubuntu Touch goes. If you might be interested in porting it, please see https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting

    @MrT10001 Thanks for your reply. I actually had UT running on another x306f which unfortunately slipped out of my hand and fell from the balcony of a hotel room on the 4th floor (true story ).

    @oldbutndy said: @Leroy_Linux Running 24.04.1n (daily - but randomly doing the updates), MVNO USMobile > T-Mobile Good to know. I'm running 24.04-1.2 stable and T-Mobile. I misread your post. Somehow I interpreted the phone wasn't working well, but you clearly stated that it's just not a daily driver unless WiFi calling or native VOIP. (neither of which I've used... my requirements are just for the working phone which it has done well thus far). Thanks and sorry for my confusion. Hope you find a way to meet your requirements!

    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

    Installing Volla on Volla Phone X23 (Gigaset GX4 PRO) - Which UBports version to use now? I understand that later versions of UBports installer such as 0.10 and 0.11.2 have had problems such as: Volla not flashing to slot A: "Unknown Error while flashing Volla OS to Volla Phone X23 #4385" I know that developers on Github have provided a configuration file to fix this but I would not know how to apply this file to the installer. A later version of Volla which would be incompatible with Halium 12 if the phone is running Android 12. Would it be better to use version 0.8 or 0.9 of the Ubports Installer in order to get Volla 12.1 installed sucessfully? I have never flashed a ROM unto a phone before. My laptop is running LMDE 6 so it would be done using a Linux system. I would appreciate any advice.

    I use a Fairphone 4 on channel 24.04/daily. When I did my research and asked the same questions you have, I came to the conclusion that USB3.0 display port with a wired connection to HDMI monitor was superior to any other USB2.0 device which has to use some kind of other technology to connect to another screen, but can connect a USB keyboard and a mouse. From my USBC3.0 display out decision I figured out that Fairphone 4 or 5 would be suitable although very expensive. The next question was if 6GB RAM would be enough (yes it is enough), or if I need 8GB RAM. I have started with the banking app world with Waydroid. It looks promising as it seems that banking apps have changed their restrictions and are ok with running on waydroid. 4.9 GiB RAM is being used while having waydroid and all other kinds of apps open, but swapping of 900 MiB has started to appear. sysctl vm.swappiness equals 100 (=max) so I lowered it to 1 to see what happens. So far no crashes. It still appears to be enough with 6GB RAM to run waydroid and apps. Waydroid in desktop mode on a 24 inch monitor 1920x1080 needs completely different settings than in native portrait mode 6.5 inches and I haven't figured out how to make waydroid look good in both modes. I chose landscape mode and seem to be stuck in those settings even after disconnecting the HDMI monitor, so obviously I made the wrong decision adapting waydroid to landscape desktop mode 1920x1080. For banking you would obviously want to use LibreOffice Calc next to waydroid side by side and copy-paste between waydroid and LibreOffice. Waydroid seems to require full screen landscape in desktop mode with huge text, although it would probably be ok with portrait mode waydroid on half of the monitor screen. Waydroid may need some fine tuning on Fairphone 4. It looks promising. I think it is more practical to use a Linux Desktop for banking stuff at the moment if you need to use spreadsheets at the same time. Fairphone 5 is the only one still being sold. Fairphone 4 is much harder to find. Usually there are sales on Fairphone 5 during times like Black Friday, but there are no units in stock to be sold over the counter, only online sales. There is a lot of writing about shifting customer support, lack of spare parts like extra batteries, extra USBC-ports and price point, which made me hesitate a lot. It didn't get better to see 12GB RAM Pixel 9/10 sell-outs for as little as 270 €, but of course: There is no port! I landed in that it is probably wiser to wait until a cheap 12-16GB RAM device with USB3 display out is ported. Fairphone 5 was the only option available at the time so it was either to accept it and be ok with the price point or wait until something like Redmi 18C with USB3 arrives and sells out for 100 €. The frustration is on my part that you have to anticipate which device will most probably be ported in the future and buy it when it sells out, maybe years before it gets ported. You can't easily get such a device later. On top you have this whole locked bootloader unlocking process and downgrading android if you are lucky to own a device which gets ported in the future. In that sense, it was Fairphone or nothing for me. Learning about repair disasters from this forum, I would think twice to go for Fairphone with what I know today. If you have 700 € and consider it worth taking a short term risk, go for a new Fairphone, it is definitely good enough for now. If no 700 € exist , I would personally with the knowledge I now have wait until another cheap 12-16 GB RAM device with USB3 that you can still buy appears in the Ubuntu Touch device list. Android 16 is supposed to offer desktop mode, which might push developers of devices to put in USB3. It is also common with 6000mAh batteries now and tablets most often have even more battery power. I am aware of that it might take time until more devices are ported. I have been looking around for posts how users with USB2 devices solve the display out need without affecting internet connection, WiFi speeds and so on. WiFi-7 is another thing that starts popping up and that I personally think is going to become my requirement for future devices. 32 GB RAM seems to become the new norm on desktops, given that many wish to run local ai models which apparently need 20GB RAM to run 14B models on the graphic card. My Fairphone 4 is good for all I am testing out, which is generally making it into a PC using wifi. I don't use mobile data that much at the moment. My focus is to make the device useful for everything you need in daily life, on any kind of internet connection. Calls can be made via Signal, Linphone, matrix.org, so I don't really need anything more than some sort of internet. Zoom app is another thing to be aware about that does not work on Linux ARM, but probably does work in Waydroid. Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB would probably be another cheap PC that fits inside your pocket, although it's wifi is reported to drop speed drastically once you move away a couple of meters from the WiFi-5 access point. It does lack a good form factor with the extra board needed for SSD hard drive to get better speed, so it is not really an option to carry around. It's ai capabilities are not super either. Which is why I went for a Fairphone and am trying to get all what I need to work properly on it. I think it is the only option right now, which unfortunately makes me who want USB3 become more dependent on one supplier who can do what they want. I don't like that, but it is what it is right now. Overall I am more than ok with my Fairphone 4. It is not bad at all, but it is an expensive toy. Maybe I was lucky to get a good unit too. It has not broken yet. You still need to be tech savvy to get everything to work the way you wish in Fairphone 4. Not much comes ready out of the box on Fairphone 4 compared to a ten year old computer with latest Linux Desktop. I would not give Ubuntu Touch to others today to use even though they already adopted Linux desktops over Windows and Apples. It is in my opinion still too complex for a newbie regular user who prefers Android and such that has been around longer. I fear I would become a constant PC support for others if I promoted Ubuntu Touch to them today. 2-3 years from now I think Ubuntu Touch will be much better for the large crowds who are not tech enthusiasts. For me personally Ubuntu Touch is good enough already today for most things I need, including python3 scripting, API calls, JSON-data and LibreOffice. Copy-paste issues in Libertine, scrolling with mouse and screenshots of individual windows and regions like you do on a Linux Desktop is my biggest concern right now. Protonvpn I wish to get working and there seems to be a way with using wireguard (search the forum to find the post). I noticed that the old PS2 mouses work better than new gaming mouses in desktop mode. Connecting other things to Fairphone 4 is for me more important than I thought previously. A couple of days ago I was able to mount a USB pendrive, today I didn't succeed to mount an external USB storage.

    So I've been using the brax3 since beta testing it. Its a great device and rob said UBtouch should be flashable sometime next week. I have a beta and a production device, so I will keep one degoogled for a daily, but will definitely be flashing the other. I can definitely keep you updated on how it's working if you'd like. I have a vollaphone 22 but haven't been able to get it to work here. I've been trying to find a phone that works in the USA and runs Linux and have not yet. I was considering picking up the furiphone to use furios (droidian fork), and the brax3 for UBtouch and hope at least one of them would work here in the states.

    @qnx_guy I have no specific experience with the F(x)etc, but I've had a surprisingly good experience with the Microsoft Miracast V2. It seems to only be available used though, and is expensive. Mine has latency that seems to be less than 0.5s, which I find quite useable. And yes, the device becomes a touch pad mouse when connected, though you can also connect a BT keyboard and mouse. But it does seem like most people have a less successful experience than me.
