FP5 OOBE Setup Hanging at WiFi

@kugiigi said in FP5 OOBE Setup Hanging at WiFi:
There are possibly network isses in recent devel images since I encountered some recently. Do you have a sim card inserted? because in my experience that fixed most of the issues I encountered. I still get some reboots though just toggling wifi, hotspot and mobile data.
Interesting you ask that, I did not have a sim in when I setup the device. I threw a sim in and that worked after resetting and restarting the phone. However the WiFi is refusing to accept the password and it icon for WiFi in the top status bar is flashing super fast like its glitching.
-Update
Now the WiFi icon is gone and its not finding any networks around me... -
I cleared everything I could find cached in the installer and switched from Devel to Daily and now my WiFi works.
Not exactly sure how practical daily'ing a "daily release" will be, but thus far it seems better than Devel considering my WiFi situation.

@Futura What do you mean "Daily"? I don't think FP5 has a Stable channel yet

In the installer go to Settings/Show hidden System-Image Builds, in the drop down where the devel build is there is a ----hidden builds---- section with what I am assuming is a alpha build they call "daily" and most cases its referred to as a "nightly" build.
I had isolated this to not be something environmental like the OS I am installing from, the installer I am using, a cable or port etc etc. Installing another build and having it work means there is 100% something off with the WiFi/Modem settings in the devel build that is not present in the daily build.

@Futura
Have you tried restarting the wifi router or changing the network?
I've had my phone not connect to wifi in the past and that was the problem. -
@Ida_
I went to sign up for telegram and they never sent the SMS code to verify my phone number with.
Shame its not somewhere more accessible.. -

I've had my phone not connect to wifi in the past and that was the problem.I did try both and brought the device to another network with no luck. After a couple of restarts the phone would fail to even see any wifi networks around it.

@Futura Oh I see. That's the Noble image (Ubuntu 24.04). I guess it's more stable or less buggy than focal

It's been 8 days using the 24.04 Daily builds and there are some quirks that I have noticed that were not present on the Pixel 3a XL I was testing with.
But it is working, and it's surprisingly stable.Maybe someone with the devel build on a fp5 can give me some insight here. Are you having some weirdness with the browser appearing like the desktop version of the site (not responsive designed)? That is basically my biggest gripe.
-
@Futura That's a known issue because for some reason the system identifies the screen as ~9 inches and that triggers desktop mode in Morph.
-
@kugiigi Oh that is really interesting! I wonder if we can tweak a config or two and sort that out... I will need to do some searching around.
One other question, are you all using anything for messaging besides SMS with the messages app, if so how has your experience been? Missing RCS means missing a lot of messages from my wife/kids where the majority have a photo or something along those lines.
-
@Futura The porter already looked into it and apparently it's in the Android side so it needs some kind of a special solution since there's no other UT device with this problem.
-
@Futura A lot of us use Cinny, a matrix client. And then matrix bridges to signal and some other services. We also heavily rely on Telegram through the app Teleports for all of the UT groups.
