@cliffcoggin Hi, People who are able to donate a significant amount of money are used to getting what they think they will get, otherwise it will be returned or claimed. What is not possible with donations, so they will be careful not to spend a lot of money in advance, but they want to try it out to form a satisfaction ranking, on the basis of which they decide what it is worth to you. Only with hobbies and other passions or for donations to charities, the money plays a subordinate role. It's just the way it is in this world, you can't deny it or change it. Greetings Mario

@Bocephus said in Volla Phone X23 about to ship: It's obvious English isn't your first language Maybe english is not my first langage, but i understand it enough to know calling "dumb" what someone says is offensive, and that this person can take it personally as an insult (in fact, in any langage...). I also understand it enough to recognise irony, and irony is not dumb, it's just irony, involving marmelade in present way... On this forum, code of conduct allows irony, not calling dumb people or what they say.

@Keneda I was used to copy links from morph to axolotl: unforrunatly that works anymore.

Some caveats about this, quoting from the UBOF Telegram group: Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:47] [In reply to myii] thats the old one that wraps here Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:48] "here maps" Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:50] [In reply to myii] that has been removed, since here requre licensing Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:52] we are hopefully moving away from ubuntu location service and just use geoclue and qtlocation, and use the hybris platform myii, [20.11.18 21:52] Is it OK to use espoo in the meantime? Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:52] [In reply to myii] yeah should be ok Marius Gripsgard, [20.11.18 21:53] [In reply to myii] that will just use gps though, no agps support Key points: espoo uses HERE Maps, which requires licensing Lacks AGPS

The most important thing to me is privacy. Not to be in the hand of Google or apple or windows or anyone else. It haven't to be mainstream, but it have to respect me. It is also important to me to use my device as long as I want, secure. And not have to by a new device. (I know this is kind of not realistic because it is in the nature of the things that operating systems need more powered devices when the develloping is going on) In this context a verry huge thank you to the people of ubports and halium.

@sverzegnassi The new UX default Scope / screen mockup looks very nice. Nonetheless, even though that the Scopes idea will be dumped, I would expect that we would like to show at least same information as before on the UX default screen. Meaning we will keep the function code of the Scopes and will throw away the UX parts. So, when would you expect to get the new UX default screen running? How would we migrate from the Scopes to the new screen causing as less as possible loss of functionality (since at least IMHO some of the functionality of the scopes is really helpful)?

@flohack I own an hammerhead device and would like to test a "recent" Linux system on it. I gladly make myself available as an alpha tester. Is there already a Halium 9 based build to test?

@jjconstr said in Installing UT on N5 stuck in boot loop: @cela Thanks for the tips. They were helpful. I didn't have to check youtube. I used my fingernail to remove the back, took out some screws I didn't need to, lifted the battery connector and then the battery. Putting a new battery in didn't correct the boot loop though. I also poked and prodded the switch to see if it would loosen up and work. No deal. Looks like there is a small pin or shaft that the button pushes on when depressed. It doesn't look like it moves at this point. I appreciate your help! Thank you, jjconstr I guess I was one of lucky 1% that swapping out the battery worked for. Careful with the hot gun and shield any parts that might melt when you swap the switch, those switches are so tiny good luck.

@kugiigi thank you for the feedback! For some reason Seabass can't execute libertine-launch on Nexus 5, although libertine-launch works fine from Terminal. The problem could be somewhere in between seabass, pyotherside, libertine-launch python script and proot (used by libertine-launch), but unfortunately for now i don't know what exactly goes wrong.

@fredldotme No, I'm on stable. But thanks for the information. The drain is still there. It's most likely UBsync's fault because it's the latest app I installed I'll just try to uninstall it and go back to manual backing up to my NC

@uwahl idk sorry,

@serhio ended up just selling the phone for parts lol. good luck with it!

@arubislander said in DistroWatch Poll: Do you own a Linux-powered phone? - UBports is a choice.: Just tried it on Android device in Chrome. Was not really adapted to mobile. That's a pity.

@mlinodasilva I have not such a problem with sound, but other users reported that already. So yes a bug. You can still install some scopes from Canonical Ubuntu store. Maybe not all, but most yes.

I wish to commend the Ubports team, as well as the community, for the sterling work done in OTA 2. However, after upgrading I do have the updated boot spinner only the UT boot. Also, there is no flaslight toggle in the battery indicator. Meizu Pro 5.

@capsia said in New Devices Page Now Online: @jezek Good! Can you make a pull request at https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/devices.ubuntu-touch.io/-/merge_requests to change that? Done.

@yakovwin same on poco f1

@stanwood confirm, Im using xiaomi note 7 for 2 weeks as my main phone. No problems. No battery drains. Screen is good and quality of pictures also. I can recomend this hardware
