[Qualcomm} VoLTE call for testing
-
I have now installed Ubuntu Touch especially for this VoLte test. I have probably done everything wrong that can be done wrong. Installed the Ubuntu Tweak Tool because of the write permissions. Then off to the terminal and installed the system with sudo apt update&&sudo apt full-upgrade and the Ofono stuff. What can I say, suddenly there were no more SIM cards available and my WLAN data volume was used up, so that went down the drain

@tigerpro I'm getting the same thing and I'm sure I've got the package spelled correct. When I do an apt update, I get an error:
Archives directory /var/cache/apt/archives/aprtial is missing. - Acquire (30: Read-only file system)
I new here, so apologies if I'm asking an obvious questions.
Platform: Latest Ubuntu Touch installed on Google Pixel 3a XL with AT&T Prepaid service in the U.S. and planning to purchase a FP5 in the near term.

HI and welcome @JDee-Intl
You might be in the wrong place.
This post is about testing out the VoLTE plugins for the Fairphone5 and I surmise you just tried to install some deb packages like it would be a regular debian based OS.
This is a common mistake, but the rootfs is readonly on Ubuntu Touch and apt is not supported, it is restricted to developers for creating the image we can later use. -

He is not mistaking, see there :https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10484/qualcomm-volte-call-for-testing/25?_=1733537347588
Well, he is mistaking because he tries to install VoLTE on the wrong device, but installing it on the good one, Fairphone 5, needs installing via apt.

I realized ; see there: https://forums.ubports.com/post/83786
Using APT is expected in the "porting phase" so to speak.
And I wasn't sure they realized that testing VoLTE is not something any user can do but needs porting skills... -
@Keneda My mistake...I thought I read the port may work for GP3aXL (<- Oh, that's a horrible abbreviation), so I was experimenting.
-
@AppLee Now I see, said the blind man! I could not figure out why I couldn't write to the filesystem as root and sudo didn't work with the phone PIN. It's read-only because the entire filesystem is laid down during the porting process and thus only modified by the developers and then included in the port by the porters.
I'll get back to learning the porting process and waiting for the FP5 to go on sale! LOL. Thank you and I hope I'm not stating the obvious, but this is definitely helping me and hopefully others who get involved and read these forums.

Maybe this should be moved to outside the FP5 forum? It's chocked full of people who aren't using the FP5.

Regardless, on build 177 for FP5, I have successfully registered 5G and VoLTE and was able to call my voicemail, but the older issues persist.
Those being dialing my voicemail PIN doesn't register, and I cannot hang up the call and am forced to restart the phone.
After rebooting the phone, VoLTE comes back but as soon as I make a call, cellular shows 0 bars and after a moment it comes back with full LTE with no VoLTE. Rebooting the phone again shows LTE with VoLTE but calling again drops cellular entirely and it comes back with LTE and no VoLTE.
If curious:

@Inali If you are using 24.04 Noble the other issues are probably best mentioned here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10688/this-week-in-development-week-52-2024/80 of the FP5 telegram group https://t.me/+uGo3xe899gwyNmNk

@Lakotaubp
I am not using Noble. I had no idea it was even around yet until today.
