Nexus 5 bugs December 2017

revoltevidente

Hi! I just installed Ubuntu OS on Hammerhead. It works great, what a geat job!! I also discovered bugs:

Time showed at startup frozen with a different year (if offline)
I cannot record videos, the screen doesn't respond and can't display videos in file manager, even if they are recorded in memory ( !!)
At first startup, after setting up the phone, a demo shows we can swipe from right to left to see opened apps but the screen fades white and you cannot do anything else, except reboot the phone. (not very important I think).

I regret there is no whatapp app or firefox app but I can see it's in progress
Everything works well for apps, all important apps are already installed (terminal, file manager and so on...)
Thanks!

Probably WhatsApp will never come. Because it's an proprietary code and it's pure NSA spy software.
So I can't see any reason, why using WhatsApp. Only because others don't care about their own life and like to be tracked by the US government?
I never had that spy software and I really don't miss anything. There are so many ways for secure communication, why using WhatsApp?

You are right, and also there is no shortage of spyware mobile OS: iOS, Android, Microsoft Mobile/phone...

I understand that WhatsApp is very popular. We get questions about it so often, in fact, that we covered it in our last community update! https://ubports.com/blog/community-updates-5/post/community-update-17-101

@wlbi Please provide the link to the article that states Whatsapp is NSA spyware.

Are you not able to deal with google or any other search engine?
Open your brain... Why they are not allowing any third party application? Why they blocking immediately any account, using third party apps?

@revoltevidente It would be nice to have Libertine working on the N5.
