@danfro said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch: Looks like its somehow working with a config file But I don't have the authorizations to access a config file of another app from within an app like Signal UT? Is there another way to get the value, compatible with a confined app?

@arubislander The button seems to have disappeared again, this is very hard to understand coming from a company with billion users....

I completely understand the huge impact. It is one of those things engineers call "should have thought about that earlier"... The positive note from this is that at least it has been brought up (again aparently), to be searchable in the forum for others who dwell upon investing in a Fairphone (because older USB3 devices are hard to find).

@oldbutndy https://t.me/ubports https://t.me/ubport_linphone There's also a Google Voice app but it needs to be updated to 24.04. It's an extended WebApp that solves login issues when making a WebApp with Webber

@peat_psuwit great : i will test shortly on my xperia X !

@rocket2nfinity Thank you for a possible solution, but bummer on battery drain ! I need to research what effects of 24/7 charging would be on battery life. Could do that while phone in home office, then Waydroid off for mobility / cell use.

@oldbutndy and anyone: Email, such as Thunderbird, with GPG-encryption, anyone tried that? Firefox with addons? Anyone tried it? Brave browser? Linphone?

@mango as far as I know Dekko2 is the only local client for UT. I don't use it but I tested it and with a few wrinkles (see issue) it seems to work. I don't see why Aol mail should be a problem since it seems to work with Imap/smtp.

@mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.

@ChromiumOS-Guy Thank You. I might follow that up when I have a bit more time & energy. I bought an easy-to-unlock BE2026 via Ebay, which arrived a couple days ago, and got UT installed. I still have a BE2028 to try to unlock. Not worth a huge effort now, though.

@ma the application was not open in the background as far as I know. I did not configure anything for the app with TweakUT, I left the default value. As far as I remember, when all of this was happening I was connected via wifi. Restart: I stop the phone every day. what I see looks very much like existing issues #179 and #183. BTW whatever your problem is (you never described it), you can turn on debugging after installing dekko, starting it and closing it before setting up ,your account, go to the config directory under ~/.config/dekko2.dekkoproject and turn on debugging according to this procedure.

I am on Debian13. but I have also problems to instal UBports. I will try with Mint later (but it is a debian disto too). you think it could come from the PC ? I will try on windows (msmbootloader) but I can't install the drivers...
