@Nocflounder, thank you for taking the time to test.

This is an issue with the Lomiri essentials package, please contact the author about that.

As you say, this is not new, nor is it something that will become available for this device if no one from the community steps up to make it happen. Assuming it is even possible to do.

Bluetooth pairing problem since my last pairing was deleted because of clean install

This is a known issue.

This may be a dumb question, but you're only talking about phones. Is the 24.04 beta also ready for the Volla Tablet? In other words: can I test it on the tablet?

arubislander

@Vistaus There is also a 24.04 RC channel for the Volla tablet.

Vistaus

@arubislander Thanks. So I have to enable the RC channel on the Volla Tablet rather than the dev channel mentioned in the OP? Will do that, then! (After upgrading to 20.04 OTA-10, of course.)

arubislander

@Vistaus Just follow the instructions as they are written in the OP. I assume it will get you on the RC for 24.04. But I haven't followed them myself, so I don't know for sure. It will get you on the version of 24.04 that was made available for testing in any case.

Thanks, it worked fine - I'm on 24.04 now!

Unfortunately, the bug where the mouse cursor can't reach the right half of the screen in landscape mode still isn't fixed. Volla said it was fixed in 24.04, in time for delivery of their keyboards with trackpads that are about to ship in the next few weeks. Did that fix not make it in this RC?

arubislander

@Vistaus Not sure where Volla got their information from, but this issue was not on the list of fixed issues for this release.

Vistaus

@arubislander Shoot. I hope it does make it before the stable release of 24.04, though, else the Volla Keyboard will not be all that useful, as the trackpad cannot be used. I'll also ask Volla where they submitted the fix.

arubislander

@Vistaus, I agree that the bug is most annoying, but the keyboard will still be very useful. It is not as of the touch screen stops working when a keyboard or a mouse attached.

Vistaus

@arubislander True. I meant that I want to use the Volla Tablet as a laptop most of the time, and for that I'd rather have mouse input, but the physical keys will still be very welcomed.

@peat_psuwit rookie question: how do I get from the stable to cc channel?

To change your update channel, go to the Updates page and tap the cog wheel at the right hand top to go to the update settings.

rdfrs

@Moem great! Thank you!

I did the upgrade. It went rather smoothly following the instructions.
Most things seem to still be working with the following exceptions [I'll add to the list as I find issues];

sometimes the keyboard for the login password prompt jumps up and down very rapidly. I need to force reboot the phone and then it seems to be OK.
Many apps no longer start.
FP5 20.04 r577 to 24.01 r509

For the non-strating apps it is best to open an issue about it on the individual issue trackers, which are listed in the Open Store entries for said apps. The app maintainers need to do the work to make their apps compatible with 24.04

messayisto

@peat_psuwit Do you or somebody else know if Teleports is running under noble already?

RJDan

@messayisto I have not had any issues with it thus far.

arubislander

@Vistaus TIL there is indeed such a fix! I am sure we will hear official communication about it if and when it becomes available for testing.
