@Photojoe4 Please refer
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1771/updated-channel-settings-does-not-reflect-on-update-screen-and-update-settings-screen
and
https://github.com/ubports/system-settings/issues/87But this small issue is still open and more issues are open.
@advocatux will I be allowed to check the code and improve? Where to properly approach? Thanks in advance.

@nnn hi, of course you can check the code and send PRs
That repo (https://github.com/ubports/system-settings) is a good place to start with it.
-
@advocatux Please refer its README
The System Settings application for Ubuntu Touch.
The upstream project is hosted on launchpad, the design on the Ubuntu wiki:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-system-settings
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemSettingsPlease advise as I am a new - does it mean the launchpad has the latest code? Thanks.
-
@nnn oh, I see! I think that info is not updated.
I'm going to ping someone who can help you. Are you in the Core Apps Development group?
-
@advocatux You mean Telegram group?
-
@nnn IIRC that group is in Matrix only.

Hmm, looks like every time I go to System>About This Device>Check For Updates I am switched back to the RC channel. If I change it back to Stable from System Settings>Updates>Update Settings>Chanels will I receive the next OTA from the Stable channel? And is there a way of knowing which channel I'm actually on?
-
@Photojoe4 Yes you will, as long as you stay off RC. If I remember Channels update along these lines Dev-daily, RC-weekly, Stable-6 to 8 weeks(ish). If you stop on RC when the next OTA comes out you will have it already.
When you switch to stable you will get effectively OTA-8.Edit Or reflash UT and choose stable in the installer settings and your done.
The channel you are on will show in system settings, updates, update channel -
@Lakotaubp Thanks! So just to be clear, if I don't go back to System>About This Device>Check For Updates I should just get OTA-8 when it comes out, correct? Or I can just re-flash after OTA-7 comes out...
-
@Photojoe4 If you go back to stable you will get OTA-8. That is the current base for the stable channel.
You will then get OTA-9 as and when it is ready. -
@Lakotaubp Switched to Stable last night from System Settings>Updates>Update Settings>Chanels and this morning it is switched back to RC again (haven't gone to System>About This Device>Check For Updates since last night). Think I'm just going to have to re-flash it. It's odd, I remember being able to switch back and forth before (think it was when a bug with the Notes app was fixed).
