@Scofus Have you reinstalled UT using the installer, leaving the "wipe data" box unticked?

@Mojomagi said in Tello VoLTE:

I added minutes to this phone and to my surprise it does make phone calls. Talked for about 2 minutes without dropping. Dialing seemed really slow. When the number is called it goes straight to voice mail. Not a surprise since it says on the pixel UT install sheet it doesn't work with VoLTE. I was able to access my VM and interact through the menus. Text and data have been working well for a week. Just thought Id share my findings if someone was looking for a provider here in the states.
Pixel 3A XL, UT 20.04 OTA4, provider is Tello Mobile with physical sim. Tello.com
Cheers!!

Thanks for sharing your experience with Tello Mobile on the Pixel 3A XL! It's good to know that text and data are working well, and you were able to make calls, even with the VoLTE limitation mentioned in the Pixel UT install sheet. The dialing lag might be something to watch for, but it sounds like a functional setup overall.

For anyone considering Tello or similar providers, it's great to see feedback like this that helps others make informed decisions. Cheers for the detailed insight—super helpful!

I just got a Pixel 3a XL set up with UT. Everything phone-wise seems to be working great thus far except for calling and group MMS. I'm in the US, currently using T-Mobile. Is there a bounty on this somewhere that I could contribute to? I'm also happy to help with testing any way I can.

Does anyone have a link to a more in depth explanation of what's needed?

Yeah, since it's made with the notification bubble, this will be a bit trickier to change. I think there's even an issue where you can swipe away the bubble 😅
Anyway, maybe what we can do is to make another type of notification bubble that shows at the bottom or in fullscreen when displayed in a narrow screen like phones 🤔

@Moem That's a good way to see it 🙂

@MrT10001 I installed Android again with google flash tool and now it works! (Perhaps because now ADB is installed on my PC)
Thank you very much for your help!!!
Tomorrow I try to install ubuntu touch again, hopefully without any problem 🙂
Have a nice evening,
Best wishes

@arubislander Thank you very much for the quick response! It's a shame that oem locked phones even exist. If the product is great, one should not fear competition.

I'll get another phone and fingers crossed with oem unlocking possible.

@stanwood Thanks for the Tip,

I think I am going to do a fresh install to version 20.04 instead of upgrading from 16.04 to 20.04.

@Salah
This repository (https://gitlab.com/rubencarneiro/custom_bootlogos) has custom boot logos.
I didn't find instructions for how to make your own though, maybe @rubencarneiro could help?

Oh well, you will be successful.

@Salah
You can make an enhancement issue I guess.
Here maybe : https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri/-/issues

@lduboeuf I see. Will hope will find away soon. What about AOD, is there any possibility to be enabled ??

@MrT10001 Yes, you have to be careful these days. I watch this LinusTechTips channel from time to time, I think.

@ikoz Thanks for your reply.

I will see about that.

Thanks again.

@Salah
This how you change ringtone for every contact:
Open the contact app
Pick a contact and open edit mode, the pen up in the right corner
Tapp on: add field
Scroll down to the last row: Ringtone

Dear folks,

I have been through this topic but I really did not understand those steps how to return back to stock Android 9 in case some thing happen to my device (Google Pixel 3a XL)..

Therefore, is there any clear & easy instructions to return back to stock android 9 ??

Thanks,

honestly with xaiomi devices i find it just easier to fastboot flash <partition> filename.img ....its a pain but at the end of the day its just easier ...so on your pixel it would prob be easier to do the same ...also it sounds like your android-tools install is either old version or borked

@captainfuzzyface said in GhostCloud on Pixel 3A XL attempt to sync contacts:

@captainfuzzyface Seems that GhostCloud isn't intended for syncing Calendar and Contacts as I thought. I'm back to configuring the standard CalDav and CardDav.

In this forum, you should find some topics about cardav sync, there are users who have shared how to do that with syncevolution iirc

@MrT10001
Issues resolved. Thank you.
