S3 Installer: Now looking for beta testers ...
-
Fix is committed. Now comes the fun part: You need to reinstall
- Boot to recovery with Vol-Up plus Power, until you see the recovery screen. From there take the installer. You can uncheck "Bootstrap" to make install a bit faster, and you MUST uncheck "Wipe userdata" obviously 
Good Luck!

@flohack Wow that was quick! It worked!
BTW I have something to report with the installer. After starting the installation with the phone in recovery, the phone rebooted to recovery again while the installer was downloading Ubuntu. After this, the installer got stuck on the "Preparing system image" screen. As I noticed that my machine didn't recognize any new device connected, I unplugged and replugged the phone (this time my machine recognized the device connected) and the installer immediatly started sending the image and correctly completing the installation.

@owlbrick Humm yes S3 Neo needs an unplug/plug event to see new host
I will update the popups -
I don't know whether to post it here. Sent SMS are not displayed correctly anymore. One can only see the top line and the bottom line of the "green" message. I can still read any one liner. But as soon as the message gets longer, there is no chance of deciphering it. Meaning that I have to remember, what I wrote. Works for 2 minutes. After that I forgot what I wrote and the guessing begins.

Hi, I had this issue some time ago but I think it has been fixed (at least on Nexus5).
A workaround is to copy the message to the clipboard and paste it where you can read it (I did it in the typing area for a new message).
To copy, swipe the SMS to the left then tap on the "stack of paper"... -
@applee thx for the workaround. now that you mentioned it. i remember, that the nexus5 has shown the same problem before.
the thing is (to say it in denglish), that the messages were displayed not long ago correctly. the problem must have caused by some update after #80. -
@vartojas has been fixed with update 94 or 95...

@flohack and the phone needs a double boot (or boot / reboot) after being switched off to recognize the sim-card.
After the first boot after having shut it down it almost always shows a missing sim-card only after a Neustart it recognizes it.btw... @Flohack would you be so kind to add a link in this devices subfolder where to report bugs? I am sure that I can find the answer somewhere in the forum, but...
thx -
@vartojas You can basically report issues on our main tracker https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues - but please check first if its a known bug already, we have over 500 issues open there

@flohack Hi, i am using the phone now for one month as a daily driver and besides minor issues (update 80, necessity to reboot to recoqnize the sim-card) i am fully content with the device and therefore I just wanted to thank you for porting and maintaining it!
-
@vartojas Thanks much appreciated
Imagine the age of the device, and it still can be used for something -
I will close this thread now as beta testing is finished and no longer needed
