@atarilinux I have a Pixel 3a and am happy to help test with this, too.

@lakeview Hello lakeview, I quote from https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/bonito/ : "You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer. Make sure the bootloader of your device is unlocked and that your device has the required version of Android installed. Before installing, follow the device-specific instructions below: Make sure it is NOT the verizon model, as that model does not allow the bootloader to be unlocked. If the device is running an Android version above 9.0, you have to downgrade to the last 9.0 release. Make sure to revert to factory image PQ3B.190801.002 before continuing." So for the factory image you need to go to https://developers.google.com/android/images#bonito . There you probably have to click on "Acknowledge [I have read and agree with the terms and conditions.]" and than you look at a long list for the factory image (PQ3B.190801.002 for the Pixel 3a XL "bonito"). Here are detailed step by step instructions: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10906/ut-installation-on-google-pixel-3a-step-by-step And for a video tutorial to unlock the bootloader and installing the image, you can check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdNGSdYCaDY (but please be aware that you need the image for bonito and not for sargo) All of this will only work, if your device allows you to unlock the bootloader. One comment under the linked video explains: "Some more elaboration after further research. If you have a Pixel 3a/XL with an IMEI that does not begin with 35, then you are good to go: this phone is not a Verizon model and it will be possible to enable OEM Unlock. If the IMEI does begin with 35, then it might be a Verizon model, but you need more info to determine that. One way is if you have the original box. If the box lists two IMEI numbers and one eSIM number, then it is not a Verizon phone and it will be OEM unlockable. If it lists a SIM number, then it is Verizon, and will not be OEM unlockable. If you don't have the original box, you can go to Google Store Website > Repairs > Get Started, and enter the IMEI number. If there is no mention of Verizon in the device information, then you should be good to go with an OEM unlockable device. Hope this is useful for anyone looking for a second hand device to do this installation."

@zpeedmaster The easiest way to downgrade the Pixel 3a is to use the Android recovery tool in the chrome browser (not Chromium). Choose factory image PQ3B.190801.002 (the required ROM) from here. Then use the pixel repair tool in Chrome following the onscreen instructions. Check this thread out: Return phone to latest Android 9 (the steps below refer to the Android Flash Tool -- using the flash-all.sh script also works fine but starts with the phone booted into the bootloader) check that 'adb' is not running (otherwise, stop it with 'adb kill-server') turn phone on the usual way redo basic setup, as bootloader unlock returned it to factory default (see above) reconnect to phone using 'adb devices' to get prompt to authorized PC and allow it visit following URL in Chrome (authorise pop-ups in browser): https://flash.android.com/ select device select target build (PQ3B.190801.002) DO NOT select to relock bootloader click Install Build (confirm, accept license) DO NOT interact with device during flashing it reboots to fastboot reselect device in Chrome flash successful -- power cycle device reboot to Android 9, redo initial setup, enable dev. mode, USB debug, connect and allow PC, turn phone off

Ok, that's clear

Hmm. @thebroison are you SURE it's a Pixel 3 and not 3a? You say UT is running normally on this phone?

@josh Otherwise, it make sense on the first UT install to check the three checkboxes (wipe, partionning and bootstrap)

@OtaDr Thank you for sharing the link, however, I do not watch youtube. I appreciate your effort in trying to help me. It simply looks like UT is not an OS designed for my needs.

@uwahl Ok thanks for this information :). It's good to know that the test_gps utility is not reliable. Unfortunatly for me all the apps (Pure Maps, uNav, SensorsStatus, Gps Toolkit) don't give me any fix. I hope someone can bring me a solution

Fairphone 5 with Orange in Spain works well with Volte.

@fredldotme In case anyone still has important videos recorded with Pixel 3A + OTA23 (as I did), kept in case some solution to repair them is found, my script that fixes those videos is here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10971/fixing-corrupted-videos-recorded-with-google-pixel-3a-ubports-ota23

Hello I can confirm ( I use airplane mode to redirect calls to another phone number ) After setting the mode the airplane switches after 1 or several rings ( i.e. it does not switch immediately after setting the airplane ... but after some activity )

@Abba Actually Miracast works quite well on the Pixel 3a now. But it is hit or miss if it will work with any particular Smart TV or dongle. If you are looking to buy a dongle, then as mentioned before the Microsoft one is the best bet. Otherwise Sony and Samsung smart TV's also seem to consistently work.

Many thanks to all those who responded, first of all. Based on the initial comment by @wally, I made some further tests yesterday night. Indeed, the car kit has a button/function to import the contacts from the phone, but it fails to import anything. Its message is that maybe I need to authorize the sharing on the phone. I also tried to export all contacts to vCard on the phone (successfully), then to browse to that file in file manager, then shift-left and click on the sharing icon, but that only listed "Messages" and "Dekko" as potential targets. New import attempts from the car kit ended up with the same error message. So I guess that this "sharing" icon is where a "BT File Transfer" app would need to register itself. For the record, this is how I used to send contact info to the car kit from my Nokia N900, using a BT transfer app called "Petrovich'.

@PhAndersson Congrats and welcome!

@OtaDr said in Calendar problem: Calendar problem originally did not sync . So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Unfortunately, it can no longer be installed. Now tested with OTA-8 Not sure if it is the right group ro ask. But i also had that kind of issue. iirc i had to remove the Account, reboot, recreate one,

@thekosmix The hardware doesn't support. There's DisplayLink but it's a proprietary tech that needs a special adapter and it doesn't work in UT.

@MrT10001 i didnt realize they were exclusively volte, but it is what it is. still, im getting NO service in any consistent manner. i would expect it to at least show thats its connected to a network, but it doesnt stay connected when i get it to do so

Hi @Scofus Preinstalled apps like the gallery should not be uninstalled. To fix this, you have to reinstall the whole system from a computer using the UBports installer. As @MrT10001 you'd want to NOT select the "wipe data" box if you want to keep your data. Alternatively, you can also switch to another channel (RC for example) and then switch back to the current one (Stable I presume).

@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!
