Hello everyone!
The expected release date for Ubuntu Touch OTA-17 is Wednesday, May 12.
This forum post is a companion to the OTA-17 call for testing blog post.
Please post any general observations you have while testing the current image in the rc channel, as compared to OTA-15, in this thread. The current release candidate (rc) is 2021-W16
If you have any comments on any of the specific issues in the OTA-17 tracker, please post them in the issue thread so they are easier to track. OTA-17 tracker: https://github.com/orgs/ubports/projects/26
Please note that only critical and security fixes will be able to enter OTA-17 as this point, normal bug fixes and new features will need to wait for our next release. Please do not discuss normal bug fixes and new features here.

Any updates as to whether the call dropping thing is still an issue on the Xioami Mi A2 and other devices using the same version of Hallium?
-
@immychan This thread is not really the place for that question as it's a request for the results of testing OTA-17 currently on the RC channel. So please follow the instructions in the above post.
Alternatively you could ask a question in this week's Q&A https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6111/ubuntu-touch-q-a-100-saturday-8th-may-at-19-00-utc -

I'm on halium-devel channel with an OPO. Does it make sense to switch to rc - or is ist even possible??
br -
@messayisto It is possible but it is probably of more use to keep testing and using the halium dev for now, which is more advanced anyway.There should be enough opo users who can try rc. The choice is however down to you.
Edit: Forgot to say use System Settings, Updates, Update Channels to change to RC if you wish.

Does anyone else noticed an issue while syncing then calendar with Nextcloud ?
It worked in OTA16 (I actually didn't try to revert to stable but I know it worked)
I tried to delete the account and recreate one. Syncing worked the first time, then one day later I can add an entry but it doesn't show up on Nextcloud. Same the other way around.Maybe just an issue with my Nexcloud account, so I drop it here and I'll open an issue in case anyone else noticed the same thing.
-
@applee I am actually having the exact same problem but since OTA-15 or OTA-16 approx (do not know exactly when it started). It is quite curious... I thought I was the only one
-
-
@applee Which device are you using? I've noticed the exact similar issue with the Google online account sync on my Nexus 5 (always need to recreate the account since it stops to sync after 24 hours).
But, for unknown reasons, it still works well on Vollaphone and Redmi Note 7. (Both on stable release)
Not sure if it's related though... -
@stanwood
I also have a Nexus 5. -
@keneda I've already left a comment. I don't think it's related to the linked issue. That field is weird. I tried to type on it until I realized you can't
How does it even work on Android and iOS? It just happens that the OSK can simulate the arrow keys so it works on UT. -
@kugiigi
Yes i saw your answer and answered back.@kugiigi said in OTA-17 Call for Testing Companion Post:
I tried to type on it until I realized you can't
That's what i tried at first, a year ago or so, but i only succeeded with selection mode.
On Firefox (W7), both typing number directly (numpad or so) and using arrows works (but not the mouse wheele). On morph, only the "simulated arrows" works ^^
-
@keneda I tried on my android phone. It has a special input method for the time field. It's either an actual clock widget or keyboard input but the fields are in a popup dialog. Not sure if this is something UT can support or specific to android/iOS. Sadly, the cursor mover isn't made for arrow key simulation so your issue may not be considered a blocking point for the issue I linked you to.
-
@kugiigi
This is sad because as you can imagine, that's not the only website that has time input field, and also because for the time being, this particular website is quite mandatory to be usable, even on uTouch.But i still can use it with this issue, it's a very annnoying behavior, but i can do with it.
The "arrow key simulation" may not be intended, but is very helpfull.
-
@keneda That is true. Just setting the expectation
Like you said, you can still use it. Just need to tap each
But it's good that you reported. Let's see if something can done. -
@kugiigi said in OTA-17 Call for Testing Companion Post:
Just need to tap each
Taping each is not a problem, that's the closing of keyboard if you don't swipe very linear that is annoying ^^
In fact, it even would be better that your selection part in the field (hours or minutes) remain captive, i mean, that you can't swap directly from hours to minute, but need to tap, because it often came that you change minutes when you want to change hours and opposite (but that's better than keyboard closing).
Thanks for your help

@lakotaubp thank you - I think I'll stay on the halium devel channel... - will they come together someday?

I use a Pro 5 (turbo) on rc channel. In the last week or so I saw a high cpu usage from NetworkManager regardless of wifi being on or off or even flight mode on or off. The average cpu usage for NetworkManager is 17%. It goes from 0% to over 60%. This results in batery drainage. Could this be related to recent changes in the rc channel?
-
@messayisto The move to halium is planned for a few more devices in the near future. So should become the norm on those devices.
