        Ubuntu-touch status on FP3, after 3 months:

        Hi community!
        First of all, thank you for providing this great OS compatible with my FP3+ phone. I really enjoy it and I am happy to be far from the big-brother company πŸ˜‰

        Mostly, all necessary is working:

        1. I can call / receive calls
        2. Basic access for browsing
        3. Telegram messaging
        4. OpenStore applications for most common scenarios.

        What I really miss:

        1. P0: Bluetooth support for calls. When driving, it's an absolute must. I also have "that" wonderful headset able to manage calls.
        2. P1: Fingerprint: not a must, but still, very convenient.

        Hopefully it helps

        Kind regards
        Adrian

          Bluetooth is hit or miss on Linux in general, depending on a combination of devices, driver versions, supported protocols, the phase of the moon and the orientation of the Earth's axis at the time of pairing and subsequent connecting...

            @arubislander Bluetooth with mode 'Hands free speaking system' did work on FP2 in stable channel, sadly not with FP3 in dev channel. Would be awesome if someone can make it work.

              @homer As mentioned, a lot depends on the Bluetooth hardware and the drivers available in the kernel, and also maybe the Bluetooth packages installed. The ones in 16.04 are rather old by now.

                Hi,
                Als Nicht-Programmierer ist es fΓΌr mich/uns immer noch schwer zu verstehen, dass alle Nicht-Smartphones, egal wie billig sie produziert werden, keine Probleme mit Bluetooth-Verbindungen in Freisprechanlagen von Autos haben. πŸ€”

                Edited:
                Sorry, the same in English:
                As a non-programmer, it is still difficult for me/us to understand that all non-smartphones, no matter how cheaply produced, have no problems with Bluetooth connections in car hands-free systems.

                Best wishes
                Mario

                  The problem is that most manufacturers (HW) don't care about Linux, so they don't implement any driver. Then, Linux kernel developers need to guess how that hardware work and create drivers, which arrive late. So you can have several years delay between a hardware being released, reported and solved.
                  When you buy a cheap HW, they created it, and they created the driver at the same time.

                  Back to the topic:
                  I wonder if the Android driver could be included somehow?

                      @escain you could try waydroid from openstore. It allow you to install android (lineage) into a contener and then it's quite transparent and easy to use.

                        @lakotaubp Oh, sorry! :flushed_face:
                        I had actually prepared everything in English, but copied and pasted the wrong section, and forgot to check afterwards, too.

                        Happy new year

                            Sorry, but that is simply not true! πŸ™‚

                            I have seen plenty of issues with all kinds of phones from very cheap to very expensive!
                            Having Bluetooth issues with some random device they are beeing connected to seems almost normal : From headsets/earphones to cars and PC's/laptops! πŸ˜‰

                            Bluetooth itself as a protocol is simply a mess and can easily have a lot of issues if you are unlucky... πŸ˜•

                            My phones :

                            • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
                            • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
                            • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

                            P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)
