        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™‚

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

                              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˜‰

                                            @heiko Correct. Reinstall UT with UBports installer, choose stable channel and don't check wipe & bootstrap options. You will get OTA-15 stable on your Vollaphone and should be able to proceed yourself to the next OTA updates easilly.

                                              @stanwood / @domubpkm after a minor fight with the installer (didn't boot automatically in recovery mode) I could manage to install the actual image with OTA-15. Channels are now visible as expected, and the check for updates works now within a few seconds.

                                              Thanks for your great support & Wish you all a happy new year!
