@Fizz you can search for volte feature on devices web https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

I deleted it after reading that Libertine is on its way out & Snap now supported, so I installed the snap version & it works OK- wireless external display - 4K TV. Also connected $10 (USD-Amazon) Acasis USB-C port expander to charge and plug in USB Keyboard & USB stick (with *.ods test file).

@alexanderzhirov said in Problem with updating and working with the app store: The page opened, although everything loaded very slowly I remember that at some point I had an extremely low performance cellular link and trying to open the store led to exactly your problem - it never succeeded to open. After switching to wifi where I got at least > 5 Mb/s, the store opened normally. There may be a software problem in the store app when the link is abnormally slow.

@Ryan_6930 Yes indeed, there is a long dial before the phone call goes through. For me it takes about 20 seconds and then the call goes through. Data and text work well for me. Text message just work right away. If the phone calls would go through right away, I could use this phone as a daily driver or even a backup phone. I see that the new update (Ubuntu touch 24.04) for the pixel 3A XL is now available, so hopefully promising updates will happen soon for VoLTE. That's really only thing that is needed to use this phone more as a daily driver or even a backup phone.

@rocket2nfinity Thanks! Very helpful! I will look into those phones.

Solved by first updating to 20.04 OTA-11 and than upgrading to 24.04-1.1

@debcedric qu'est exactement le 'logo de charge' ? est ce que c'est l'image d'une batterie en train de se charger ? Si oui, ça n'est pas géré au niveau d'Ubuntu Touch pour autant que je le sache, ça dépend du firmware du téléphone. Donc la première chose à faire est d'appuyer longtemps sur le bouton marche/arrêt (au moins 10 secondes si ce n'est plus) pour essayer de le débloquer. Si la batterie est amovible l'enlever pendant une minute. What exactly is the 'charge logo' ? is it the image of battery in the process of loading ? If yes, that's not managed by Ubuntu Touch as far as I know, it depends on the phone firmware. First thing to do is long press on the On/Off button (at least 10 s if not more) to try to get the phone out of this stuck state. If battery is removable, try to remove it and put it back after a minute or so.

@zakafx Because I respect UBports desire to distribute a read-only system that provides users with a secure and controllable experience by default.

I've been having some issues using Libertine running apps and searched the forum. It seems some others are also having issues setting up a proper Libertine container on the Google Pixel 3a. I'm placing a link to here. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11232/unable-to-create-libertine-container

@user4574 This other thread may be of interest to you. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11078/volte-implementation-for-google-pixel-3a-3a-xl/147

@foxx This is getting very off topic, politics are not that related to the issue. I never said that you cannot use your camera, it just has to be interfaced through Halium. You can quickly make an app with Qt that captures frames from the camera, and maybe use the Qt Networking framework to broadcast.

I will share my experience. Installation on Pixel 3A XL. Reinstallation of Ubuntu via USB. Originally, USB 20.04 was installed and updated to 24.04. Due to some inexplicable minor issues, I decided to reinstall 24.04 via USB PC Ubuntu 24.04 installer 11.02 It ends up in FastBoot and does not load. I tried a second PC with the same installation and got the same result. Only the third, older PC with Ubuntu 22.04 and installer 0.9 helped. The installation of UB.Touch 24.04 went smoothly.

@OtaDr I'm not sure my experience is similar. My phone connects to a Bluetooth headset every day (Skoda car kit or Sena headset in my motorbike helmet), and I never noticed any issue with this. Also, based on the test I made at the time, it's not that the ringing is silent -- the phone doesn't ring at all and the caller is immediately redirected to my voicemail. Furthermore, I noticed something else during my holidays in France. In this case, my phone was roaming on a foreign provider's network (SFR), and the problem manifested itself again. I had to use the same technique to get the phone to ring again. So I have the feeling there may be an issue in the way the phone negotiates the initial connection with each new provider it uses.

Thanks for the help

3G is turned off on all US carriers. VoLTE (4G) does not work for calls or messaging. You won't be able to receive MMS, only SMS. Your phone should function on 2G. This requires a setting change in Ubuntu Touch where you turn off 4G support. Data should work on 4G, but not calling or MMS. Data will be slow on 2G, but you can make/receive calls with lower quality sound and some delays. You can also receive SMS text. Ubuntu Touch currently does not support VoLTE (4G) or higher for the Google Pixel 3a. Similarly, your carrier may or may not allow your Google Pixel 3a on the network. You will need to check with your carrier. If the carrier accepts your phone, only expect 2G calling and SMS. Calling and SMS may have some delays. 3G service is not available in the US. If you need faster data and are not expecting calls, switch to the 4G setting in Ubuntu Touch. I've tested the Google Pixel 3a in the US with a 5G SIM card.

@arubislander Good thought. Perhaps I should have mentioned that I use Tor (or a public computer) because this site forwards user data to Cloudflare. I believe that live a session won't prevent fingerprinting/canvassing, regarding my accessing this site; and and not help regarding the problem of 'missing files' in the Google bonito file. Any more ideas?

@thedeafenguy From what I know about anti rollback protection, you can downgrade or upgrade without problem if you don't relock bootloader.
