Daily driver?

TotalSonic

Ubuntu Touch has been running on my daily driver for almost 2 years now - first with a OnePlus One, and now with a Meizu Pro 5.

Best regards,

@augustblake using UT since 2018. First on N5 now on FP2 and PinePhone. N5 and FP2 are - for my use case - daily driver ready except for the bluetooth issue with most car audio systems (not being able to take and answer calls hands-free), so for me this are the 10% missing. PinePhone for me, has quite a way to go to become daily driver ready.

I'm a daily user of UT since 2016. First an BQ Acquaris E5 (model from memory), then a Nexus 5 and now an OPO. The OPO's bluetooth can send and receive phone calls from my car right now.

Only thing missing is some apps that my municipality only provides in Google Play and Apple store, with Google location services or else it doesn't work, really sad for a public institution.

I use my BQ E4.5 as my daily driver since 2015

I have been using UT on my daily phone (not only) since September 2015. First a BQ E4.5, now a BQ E5 HD (old but very stable and reliable) but it will change..
Very happy with UT.

@wgarcia Bluetooth reliability in car kits should be mostly improved, if not fixed, in OTA 13

i have been using Ubuntu Touch since 2015, used the Ubuntu version BQ 4.5 until it broke, then Nexus 5 and Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition, until now...

Daily driver since 2015 (BQ E4.5, E5, OPO and now the 3t).
Well currently I use lineageOS because of ThreemaWork (since covid19) until I get an IPhone for work.

I have been using UT since 2018 as my daily driver. The first phone is/was the Nexus 5. Now I have a Nexus 6P too and it's the daily driver for the moment. I also have a Pinephone but it's not stable enough for the time being

@augustblake Don´t have a long history (only 6 weeks) but I´m fine with my VollaPhone/GigaSet on UT and it is getting even better every day.
Many thanks to all of you out there. You are doing an awesome job!

Use my Aquaries E5 since the beginning as my daily driver. Mostly running dev channel. Never a problem. My Pinephone is not there yet. Still hoping though. Keep up the good work.

It looks like this community pretty activate. I'm glad, I was looking into KDE plasma as well but it seems dead or in a slump. I look forward to contributing, and helping it grow.

I was the same, With KDE being my main DE. but I gave up waiting.
I've switched to ubports as my daily driver yesterday and so far so good.

Only missing a discord app and a decent browser.

Have you tried the RC channel ?
Most issues with the browser came from the old version of QtWebEngine being used.

~~Problem being recent versions of Qt are not compatible with older kernel found with old android devices.~~
Edit: I stand corrected

gnugeek

@AppLee no, i had not. I will try that tonight.
Thanks

AppLee

@gnugeek
You're welcome.
In RC, QtWebEngine is upgraded hence a better support of modern websites.

Not everything is nice and clean, but it improves the user experience a lot.

You mean old androïd device will not have an updated qt/morph in OTA13?

This is not the case. Qt doesn't care what the kernel version is. And Qt Company provides builds of latest Qt 5.15 for Android.

Discord isn't a responsive web site, and also "decent browser" is vague and not descriptive at all, while being slightly rude implying that Morph is indecent.

All devices will get the upgraded QtWebEngine.
