        Vollaphone is not in the list of devices supported by this OTA

        Sorry, I forgot to put it in the list. I have fixed the post now.

            I have the Vollaphone, and in the update section it says 'Release candidate' as channel.
            I can't remember ever getting updates for other than apps and store on this phone.
            I can't choose other channels. Am I just impatient, or is something wrong?

            Cheers!

              @st0rk If you are on RC you will already have OTA-15 and will have been using it for a few days at least. All the changes work through from devel to RC then Stable which is when the OTA is officially released. As a double check make sure all apps are updated then run Update again and you will be fully upto date.
              The cycle will then start again for OTA-16.
              I don't have a Volla but does it have a stable channel yet or just RC and devel?

                The thing is I can't choose any other release channels, as I get no options when searching - only release candidate.
                When going to the 'About' tab, it says: Ubuntu 16.04 (2020-W41)
                Last update: 07.10.2020

                That makes me think something is not right, and I'm on an old RC.

                Tried to find a way to maybe force an update through command line, but haven't found a 'for dummies' guide for that yet.

                All apps and store is updated. I tried:
                sudo apt-get update
                sudo apt-get upgrade

                That's more or less what my skills with the command line will get me ๐Ÿ™‚

                Cheers!

                  @st0rk My guess is that the Volla phone has no stable channel yet but it'll get one with OTA-15. Also, please don't do the apt updates. It may work and can do unexpected things to your device ๐Ÿ˜„

                    OK
                    Just checked again, and my list of channels to get updates from is empty.
                    I'll wait and see what happens during the next couple of days.
                    Thanks!

                      @st0rk It seems that Vollaphone on OTA-15 stable has some issues to be fixed before to be available. Here's a post of Marc Aurel (this morning) on Volla Telegram group:

                      "I can confirm, that the RC and developer channel running the next release. However we need to fix some issues regarding a stable cellular network connection to release the version for the stable channel. Anyway we are on a good way."

                      Another thing: Generally OTA updates need to be downloaded through the wifi and not via a cellular network, so make sure that you are connected to a decent WiFi access point.

                        Can't seem to find that post, but I beleive Volla will come with a monthly update before the 23rd.
                        Meanwhile I'll arm myself with patience, stable wifi and cookies ๐Ÿ™‚

                          @stanwood said in OTA-15 Is Released:

                          I almost always use cellular connection to make UBports OTA updates and that without any problem.

                            @libremax Right, you can change it on the updates settings (only wifi / cellular and wifi)

                                  I have the same issue as described a few posts earlier by @st0rk. Are there any news about the update of Vollaphones to OTA-15?

                                      bq aquaris

                                      I am on stable channel. When will it be available?

                                        @stanwood yes I did. The actual situation is:

                                        screenshot20201231_111544675.png

                                        When I open the update settings it says:
                                        screenshot20201231_111601480.png

                                        By the way: I never changed these settings to "release candidate". They were already like that when my Vollaphone was delivered.

                                        When I try to change the Channel ist says:
                                        screenshot20201231_111621450.png

                                        The fetching-process takes about 10min. (Which is much more compared to my former BQ E5). Maybe there is some kind of timeout after 10 min, but thats only a guess. After that I get:

                                        screenshot20201231_112603451.png

                                        There is no Channel at all to chose.

                                        When I get back it says:
                                        screenshot20201231_112621429.png

                                          @heiko If you haven't 0TA-15 as @stanwood said, flash your phone with the installer without wipe. I did that and i have OTA-15.

                                            @domubpkm without wipe means that my contacts, pictures etc. will remain after flashing?

                                              @heiko Yes 'without wipe' means that you don't lose any of your UT data.

                                              But if you're careful, I assume that you've backed up the important data of your smartphone ๐Ÿ˜‰
