        I've installed ubports on my old neo and it runs well, i ordered a new sim card to test the phone, when the neo is in sleep with wifi off it takes no much battery. I installed unav but had no connection with the gps... In a few days I'll report more.

          Did you go outside, and give the GPS 15 minutes or so? The first time to get a fix takes relatively long because we don't have A-GPS. The next one will be a lot faster.

              Yeah, Android does have A-GPS. It just gets more information, like from cel phone towers nearby.

                I have found the battery on the S3neo+ can be recovered by using an external charger and taking the battery out of the phone. For some annoying reason even a new battery may stop charging in the phone after a few days until I recharge it externally.

                How are the cameras working?

                      I used the installer I downloaded a few days ago and used the default settings I'm not an expert but the installation did his work.

                                  My sim card arrived and I could test my neo+ completely, calling went well but an incoming call while calling could not be answered
                                  the packed connection did not worked but I think I've to dig a little deeper in the configs, the activity led is a must have wifi and bt working well and a lot of Linux apps makes the life better but still
                                  I miss some android apps as my bank, an offline navigation app
                                  and some other goodies. After all I can use this phone as second
                                  device and I'm very happy to use it, thanks UBports!

                                    We do have that! If you install OSM Scout Server, then your navigation app (uNav or Puremaps) can use that when you're offline.
