Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5
-
I would like to help in the little I can, such as testing Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 but I am afraid of damaging my phone because my technical knowledge is minimal. I use a Volla X 20.04 ota-4. I changed System Settings -> Updates -> Update Settings -> Release Channel and started downloading an image called Ubuntu touch version 13. I expected something like 2024-W30 and now I don't dare to install... Does anyone know how to help me? Thank you.

Is GPS still working for Pixel 3a users?
Mine was working before the RC, now doesn't error, but also doesn't get a lock. Currently sitting unsuspend for two hours and no lock
Hello @rocket2nfinity
On Pixel 3a (Focal rc 13): updated the GPS without any bug and tested it with sensor status app 1stly, then with clock, weather, unav and pure maps. OK for me. -

Hi, I also have a Volla X. The download for me is also called Ubuntu Touch version 13. After the installation it is the operating system version, Ubuntu Touch 20.04 (2024-W30/2).
Everything worked for me without any problems. Sorry for the bad English.(Deepl) -
@tuXut Thanks a lot. I'll try.

Hello,
yes, it does, and we talked about it on https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9803/focal-20-04-is-out-for-quite-a-while-now-you-still-use-xenial-16-04-i-would-like-to-know-what-stops-you-from-upgrading/82
and you sent me your link https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/2022 which @danfro also gave me.
What I'm noticing is that it works after a reboot, but after receiving an SMS, the audio no longer works, then after a reboot it works again ... I don't know if this also happens after a phone call ...
@peat_psuwit
Hello,
Thank you for your clarification. It would be interesting and necessary for this situation to be dealt with and corrected soon, in the hope that it will be for the ota-6.
A more secure ota-5, of course, so happy ota-5 ! -
Yes. Thanks for the OTA-5 security updates. And since I'm sick of the crazy Volla, I'll totally reflash it to see if that improves things

As per telegram post can confirm touch to wake works on the OP5T on OTA-5RC. It won't if you have an OEM screen.
-
@karibooooo Did you try using Waydroid and mobile data only?
-
Quick scan through my settings shows everything remaining as it should be after updating. No issues with websites from my regular sites so far. Will keep an eye on battery usage.
-
@rocket2nfinity I did not.

Hallo together,
I am running OTA-5 for some days on OP5.
The double tap wakeup does not work for me, but this has not changed since previous versions.
For me the wifi connectivity seems more stable than before.
Also Bluetooth connections to my freespeech on car also with my earbuds works really better.So far I did not found any problems with this OTA.
Thanks for your work and best regards

Almost everything works fine on the POCO X3 NFC (surya) after switching to the RC channel.
However, there is a sound issue detected by FredFast, thanks to the Telegram app.
When you record an audio message, or during a call, you hear clicks/crackles.
These sounds disappear if you add “--audio-buffer-size=2048” to the QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS environment variable.
According to FredFast, this is a new bug, not present in OTA-4.I don't know if this is an important bug, as I haven't had time to test other applications, but as it could affect all QTWebEngine-based applications, including Morph, I prefer to report it here.

Another regression with POCO X3 on the RC channel, more serious than the previous one.
It reported by 2 different users @vgd111 and StefanZ on X3 TG :
« On RC channel, I've experienced “screen panic” — random parts of the screen were pressed. Setting the screen off calmed down my phone. But after that there were random opened apps and some random letters typed. Is it a device or UT? »in the logs (journalctl) these messages are repeated

Also, which Telegram app are you using? There's a few versions of Telegram web app in the OpenStore. Meanwhile, TELEports does not use QtWebEngine (at least for the main operations).
At least with Morph Browser, I'm unable to reproduce the issue on Volla Phone, Volla Phone X23, and Fairphone 4.

yes POCO X3 NFC too

It is a very long discussion… It starts at https://t.me/ut_pocox3/12861

The procedure I (and Fred) used is to send audio message to myself with telegram
P.S.
before reporting here, I reverted all fixes, switched to RC channel and tested -
Battery life doesn't appear to be affected in this RC on Fairphone 4.

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 is expected to be released on 29 July 2024.
Is OTA-5 stable actually in distribution by now?
