My Ubuntu Touch daily driver is...
-
Xperia X Performance Dual Sim. Not sure how how long I will keep trying it without anbox. I have to have whatsapp. The normal one. lol
-
Using Xiaomi Mi A2 for 1 month. Problems: Camera doesn't work when I try to make a video, pretty often it stops detecting SIM so I should reboot the device, also no anbox. Everything else works fine, enjoying Ubuntu Touch.
-
@purplevvay Did you tried OTA-16 it might solve some of your problems. On the today's devel which is very similar to OTA-16 camera works for me, anbox always worked for me (despite been unoffical) and I guess SIM detecting depends on your carrier
-
@carlod Yeah! I have updated my phone today. It detects sim. But it usually stops working next day, so I'll see what will happen tomorrow. The video mode still makes the camera freeze.
I don't know what to say about anbox, maybe you should contact devs or porter if you got it working. I guess I should make my image read-write to set up anbox, but how would I install a system update then.

Volla phone here with (for now) ota-15. Awaiting 16

Hi @purplevvay
For further talk on this issue, please open a new thread in the dedicated subforum (for your specific device).
This is getting a bit OT here. Thanks.

Xioami Mi A2 here, I'm not sure that I'd recommend it necessarily, it has some issues with not getting calls and texts and video recording doesn't work. I'd probably recommend the Nexus 5, it's fairly inexpensive and everything works really well
-
Just started running on OnePlus One, so far it's been good, a few freeze ups, battery lasts most of the day even while streaming to bluetooth headset. Calls work on bluetooth (accept-disconnect) but pause/play from headset does not.
Running on stable release, I think I'll stay there for now. I have it on 2g/3g so calls and SMS work on Patriot Mobile, ATT has issues, I cannot receive SMS.
Looking to connect to monitor (convergence is it?), can anyone tell me the adapter they use?
Think I like how UT is progressing. I want a better equipped phone but OPO is the most complete according to UBPorts.

OnePlus 5, tried what I could to break it in my use case: maps, photos, videos, everything. For me, it just werks. I am impressed.

Planet Cosmo Communicator with UT is a great daily driver for me.
Cosmo and UT is a super combination.
Thank you developers and community. -
BQ Aquaris E5 since 2015. Switch from E5 to Fairphone 2 in 2019. Switch from FP2 to Fairphone 3+ in 2022.
BQ Aquaris M10 FHD since 2016. An amazing device!
E5 has been the first phone of my son. And UT his first mobile OS
. But he wants more apps, especially games, so I may try /e/ OS with my old FP2. If my E5 still stands brave, it may be the first phone of my daughter also! -
Nexus 6P and Pixel 2 XL.
N6P does not have hotspot, and video requires a player from the store. Otherwise all works. Occasionally crashes if you open too many apps.
P2XL All works. Fastest GPS I've had yet (less than 15sec to connect) and really strong. My new favorite. Loved my Nexus 5, attached to my Nexus 6P, but I adore my Pixel 2XL.

@nocturn-adrift I have removed the two jpeg you added not because of the Cosmo but Pepe the Frog holding them. Pepe has many connotations of a political nature and we do not do politics. UT, UBports and all associated stuff great, politics no thanks there are better suited places for those discussions. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Edit: Forgot to add this link

I have a BQ Aquaris FHD that I bought when canonical still was working on UT. It is a great device, I use it ever day.
Since 2017 (I had a Jolla phone before that) I've had a Nexus5 phone as my daily driver, eventually it started falling apart and then the screen cracked. Recently I started using a Xiaomi Mi A2.
With the right device UT is definitively daily driver capable, I have never cosidered android or ios since I started with UT. It also keeps improving!

Thanks for the cigar.

Ive been using the xperia x compact for about 5 months now. Ive also used nexus5 and nexus6p.
But for me smaller size was really important, which is not for most i guess. This is my favorite phone ive owned, everything works up to my standards. The only little huckups is the headphone jack doesnt work, volume while phone call cant be adjusted so its stuck at max.
I initially got this phone and used UT on it then switched to LineageOS and was blown away with how snappy and optimizes tjat OS is. But eventually i found myself wanting to be back on UT just better apps for what i need like isodrive, Utudu, and knowing this project is still working and being upgraded. LineageOS for this device isnt supported anymore. Also lineageOS is constantly pinging google even tho you cant access google apps unless u download their gooleplaystore spyware. So id rather not use lineageOS. I does however make me appreciate optimzed software. - 4 months later

My daily driver is RN7 which I bought last December specifically for using Ubuntu Touch. So far I used it four months with breaks for testing other systems. The most it was LineageOS and /e/ os. They are nice, but I find UT more interesting and more suited to my needs. This is why I use it back. What is more, more functional it became in the meantime on RN7. The only thing that I would change is to have smaller screen like 4.7 inch (not 6.3) but that's all.
-
@tchan used to use an oneplus one. now its a redmi mi a2 and I'm enjoying it very much.

I've only been committed to a UT daily driver for a couple of weeks but I'm not looking back. Running a Pixel 3a XL.
On T-Mobile and coverage for my area is good.
Mobile data is good and Hotspot works well.
GPS navigation is working great.
Use telegram mostly but SMS is good and MMS is working.
Calls are fine, phone connection and call-through vehicle work great.
Even Spotify (Futify) is working well.
The E-Book reader is awesome and pdf's read well.
Asteroids and Pacman, I'm covered.
The only other things I would use if remedied are speakerphone calls and calls with headphone mic's, be they wired or Bluetooth. But even without these, I'm 100% on UT.I am ready to pull the plug on my Verizon phone, I don't pack it anymore, but I'm going to wait and see how the T-Mobile network changes affect coverage in my area come January. If all goes well I will be setting up phones for the rest of the family to move them off Android after that.
