Hi @domubpkm
yes, according to @vgd111
« Yes, some messages look like our case. But some don't. Like similar bugs combined together. »

@Eric-H said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5:

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.

Hello. Do you happen to know which device FredFast is using? Is it also POCO X3 NFC? If this is on a public Telegram group, could you please link me to the discussion?

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.

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.

@peat_psuwit

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 is expected to be released on 29 July 2024.

Is OTA-5 stable actually in distribution by now?

Greetings

@Charly It has just been released and will roll out across the devices over the next few days.

After a slight delay, Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 is released and is now rolling out across devices. Thank you everyone here for testing.

@peat_psuwit Has it merged with Stable. I have swapped one of my OP5T to stable from RC and it didn't do the expected process of downloading the stable image for installation.

Lakotaubp

@MrT10001 It is released today but not to all devices at the same time. Maybe check again in 24hrs or check the OS stable version against the one mentioned in the release/testing blog.

MrT10001

@Lakotaubp Will do.

@peat_psuwit Hi Peat,

Just a question:

I don't see any devices from the Redmi Notes series (9S, 9 Pro, etc.) on the list of smartphones that will receive OTA-5.

https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-5-focal-release-3933

However, these devices still receive UT updates on the Devel channel.
Would it be possible to add them?

Thanks again for all your hard work!

@stanwood ~~The porters have indicated they don't consider the port mature enough for RC and Stable channels~~

EDIT: The above information is incorrect for any Note 9 that is not merlin. Only merlin is still on devel channel only.

zubozrout

@arubislander That's a surprise. This is the first time I see that information. And I must say joyeuse is one of the best ports out there and is not lacking basically anything.

Contrary to what you say, any idea why OTA-5 has been released for it though?
https://system-image.ubports.com/20.04/arm64/android9plus/stable/miatoll

To verify the image from yesterday is indeed OTA-5 I just switched to that channel:
sudo system-image-cli -vvvv -p 0 --switch 20.04/arm64/android9plus/stable

arubislander

@zubozrout Argh, I have been stung by the Xiaomi naming conventions again!

What I said above pertains only to the Redmi Note 9 (merlin), not the others.

Sorry for the noise.

stanwood

@arubislander Thank you. So Curtana (Redmi Note 9S) won't receive OTA-5?
Should I switch to RC or Devel to get the latest updates?
Indeed, I did not see any information that this device is "more or less" discontinued, as I just bought it 3 months ago to replace my Nexus 5...

It works pretty well on OTA-4 stable, except the vibrator that a fix has already been pushed to devel. That's the reason I was delighted to get stable OTA-5 as well.

arubislander

@stanwood No, those should also get OTA-5. I will update my answer.

stanwood

@arubislander Many thanks Arubislander! That's put my mind at rest!

stanwood

@arubislander Here it goes! Just got OTA-5 Stable on my Redmi Note 9S today!

Update was smooth and no issue at all so far. (except vibrator still doesn't work)

Many thanks for this great achievement!

MrT10001

Redmi Note 9pro

Redmi Note 7

Both updated to OTA-5 (stable) . All seems ok so far.
