New Devices Page Now Online

Very nice!

What's the best workflow to improve the information, e.g., for the Nexus 7 LTE

it does not have vibration. Also not in Android, the device is simply not capable of this
Bluetooth doesn't work. An issue of the UT port

Edit: mhm, maybe an MR here? https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/devices.ubuntu-touch.io/-/blob/main/data/devices/deb.md I think I can guess the format from suzu/hammerhead ... but some aspects (LTE) I simply don't know ...

It is probably difficult to define when criterion works for everyone or is fully reliable. I will see a colour code :

green: ok for everyone and stable

*** orange: ok for some and/or not fully stable ****
Ex : hotspot for nexus 5, cellular data on Volla

red: never works

grey: not applicable

Impressive. Note that on both my OPOs the flashlight does work.

On mine, the torch works but the camera flash does not. Do you really mean the camera flash, or is it the torch that works for you?

Back to the general topic: the new Device pages are a HUGE improvement. A big to everyone who helped make them happen.

Farmer

The torch works. Always referred to it as flashlight. It's good to learn something new each day.

So thats the current options we have:

@domubpkm do you think thats enough granularity?

AppLee

@flohack The link to the issue is a very good idea IMHO.
So people know exactly what they'll get.
:thumbs_up:

domubpkm

@flohack Yes. It sounds good to me
Please, put 'partial' for Nexus 5 hotspot : very capricious !

@doniks has the idea of 'not applicable' different of 'untested', maybe.

When something wrong, i like too the 'link to the issue concerned'

flohack

@domubpkm not applicable is also availbalb,e but then the whole item is not listed at all. I thin thats better for the UX.

@domubpkm, there has to be a limit to features we mark as "not working", else we'll be marking them as not working for every device. Hotspot, for example, is buggy on all devices and tends to fail the same way on all of them. Should a link to a bug report for that be maintained on all devices?

"Not applicable" is now provided by the page, and the feature is unlisted if it is used.

I have no problem seeing 'partial' orange for every smartphone if it reflects the truth.

@domubpkm

I accept your viewpoint, but I also don't want to incur the work it would take to make it a reality.

That said, I've filed a discussion on the devices website's repository to hopefully discuss this problem: https://gitlab.com/ubports/infrastructure/devices.ubuntu-touch.io/-/issues/21

The new devices page is really nice and helpful.

Small suggestion. I am happily running UT on a Cosmo Communicator (using this installation method https://github.com/gemian/gemian/wiki/UBPorts , but other methods exist) and wonder why this device is not mentioned on https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ ?

@sven
I agree.
And you could ask for a Planet Computer devices section in the devices one : https://forums.ubports.com/category/46/devices

Things are really moving forward, more and more devices got description and what works/not works!

Thanks to those involved in this!

EDIT :

One thing though, i see there is a "buy" button on each device page, i tested it, on FairPhone 3 for example, and it lead to "wappa" website.

Fairphone 3 can be bought from fairphone store, why not putting link to fairphone store?

domubpkm

For the Volla, i adhere to the description which corresponds well, in my opinion, to the current situation.

One question :
For all devices, i see 'hotspot' but is there internet tethering via usb (enable RNDIS) ? Doesn't work for me on Volla (does it work for somebody ?) and i don't know if it works on some Androïd 9 devices.

In general, this presentation system is both very professional and very clear. Congratulations.

flohack

@domubpkm switching between MTP and RNDIS is not implemented in any Halium device right now, its a kinda hard thing and on the long ToDo list

We also would need a switch in the UI for that...

domubpkm

@flohack Thank you for the answer that I hadn't gotten until now.

poVoq

Can "GPU accelerated browser" be added as a criteria? Seems like Marius has got that to work on some devices.

Also: how come the OP3 is marked as supporting video recording? Am I missing something? It is definitely not working on my device.

flohack

@povoq the criteria can be added when the feature is at least in devel channel, and we can stop breaking devices with it. Because as of now, N5 cannot display any web page with that feature being on.
