Ok, we just have to disable wifi when sending MMS, not a problem.As we do not anticipate when MMS will arrive, will we have to disable wifi all the time to be able to receive them ?

Don't worry, we will remove that popup for now.
You are just the first person that i know that reports that MMS is working when wifi is On, so i was sure that for everyone Wifi Off + Data On was required, and several users were confused about not being able to receive/send MMS while wifi is On. -
@lduboeuf said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0:
interesting, this is the first time i've heard that MMS works through Wiifi...
So with all feedbacks here, i think we have to revert the mms popup feature for now...
EDIT: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-messaging-app/-/merge_requests/369The situation with MMS and Wi-Fi is that sending MMS with Wi-Fi on will work, if the carrier specify
MessageProxyin terms of IP addresses, which is the case for @Eric-H and also for the carrier I'm using (the carrier may also specify it in terms of domain name, or may not specify it at all and useMessageCenteralone). In that case, oFono is able to set the routing table so that MMS traffic goes through cellular network, which allow it to work despite Wi-Fi being on.For all nitty-gritty details, see https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/ofono-sailfish/-/issues/13
(That said, the problem with
Lomiri.Connectivityreporting inaccurate info will have to be investigated as well...)@Eric-H said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0:

My understanding is that Ubuntu Touch now have a facility to retry retrieving MMS if downloading fails. So, in that case, you should get a notification, after which you can disable Wi-Fi and retry retrieving MMS (@lduboeuf please correct me on this if I'm wrong).

I followed the above procedure to update my Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC (surya) to UT 24.04-1.0 Beta 2.This worked well except a UI issue: I had to uninstall two applications because instead of seeing the screen offering the system upgrade, I saw a screen proposing the update of Dev Tools and Pure Maps Slim
You should not have to uninstall applications; once all applications are updated, you should be offered release upgrade. This is intentional, as many times application and system updates can solve compatibility issues with the new release before the new release is being upgraded to.

Anyone tried if Bluetooth media buttons work now? Those for changing the volume, changing the music track and accepting calls.
Thank you for the report. I can reproduce this issue and will look into it.

OK. I will test and report.

Got it.
I forgot to mention it, but first I tried to update these applications.
But, I don't know why, it failed, and the only solution I then found was to uninstall them. -
The brightness is wrong before i log in. I tested this with two fairphone 4, one noble and one focal with brightness set on lowest. After i log in i get the correct brightness

In the latest build 24.04-2.x,
I noticed that when typing a sentence using the OSK, when you select a suggested word, it does not automatically add a space between the selected word and the rest of the text.
And the automatic brightness adjustment no longer works.

(Note that this thread is for 24.04-1.0 testing. 24.04-2.x is in early development and is not necessarily ready for testing.)
I noticed that when typing a sentence using the OSK, when you select a suggested word, it does not automatically add a space between the selected word and the rest of the text.
For the OSK issue, this seems to a side effect of us disabling Auto correction by default. If I enable "Auto correction" in 24.04-1.0, then selecting word suggestion adds a space. And if I disable "Auto correction" in 20.04, then the space isn't added either.
So for now you can enable "Auto correction" back on as a workaround. We'll probably fix this issue in a point release of 24.04-1.x series.
And the automatic brightness adjustment no longer works.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro 24.04 r4Sadly this one I cannot reproduce. I'm afraid you'll have to ask the port's maintainer for help on this one...

@peat_psuwit
My mistake, I thought that 24.04-2.x was the continuation.
OK, I installed 24.04-1.0 Beta 2.
The problem with the space bar without autocorrect persists (and is fixed by enabling autocorrect).
However, the automatic brightness adjustment works fine.
Thank you for your patience. -
Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 1 is available for testing.
Notable changes
- The dialog warning users to disable Wi-Fi before sending MMS has been removed due to false positives.
- You can now disconnect from wireless display from the virtual touchpad on the phone's screen.
(picture of the feature)
- Media playback control is fixed in the top-panel indicator, in applications, and over Bluetooth headset.
- Bug fixes and stability improvements across the system.
Known issues
- It's a long-standing issue that fingerprint sensor on Fairphone 5 does not always work. It's unclear when this might happen. This might manifest itself as keyboard for the login password prompt jumps up and down very rapidly; this is due to Lomiri repeatedly getting error from fingerprint sensor.
- You may still see a placeholder text as part of first boot's "What's new" page. We'll provide another update to fix the issue. (ubuntu-touch-meta#3)
If you're already running Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 2, you'll be offered Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 1 automatically. Otherwise, follow the same instructions as outlined above.

@peat_psuwit regarding FP5 and fingerprint:
For me fingerprint works in general.
I thought that maybe related to allowing fingerprint on first android boot (but not setting it up).But I got that jumping password prompt sometimes when I need to input password for decrypting the encrypted home-directory after rebooting Ubuntu Touch.
A second reboot is fixing it most of the time.
After that, fingerprint works to unlock.Just for reference.

Thanks so much for fixing this. My number one issue with UT was that I can't change music tracks over bluetooth. I hope it really works with my old car stereo now 🤩

@poVoq Unfortunately, that's very dependent on the device, I can do it with my OP5 and my Sennheiser BT headphones

Hello.
I took some photos with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro running UT 24.04-1.0 RC 1 during a few days of holiday.
The indoor photos are fine, but those taken outside are overexposed.
I restarted the phone, but that didn't change anything.
For the rest: roaming in a foreign country, mobile data, VoLTE, personal hotspot everything works perfectly!

@peat_psuwit
So i finally switched to Noble on my P3a:
It went smooth except the Google logo stuck after first upgrade and update to 2.x
But it happens sometimes on the P3a.First impressions:
App loading seems a bit slower.
Camera often freeze, a reboot is needed
Telegram Notifications are nor overridden ( list is always growing)
Telephony stack is working well,
No issues with the browserCongrats for this huge milestone

Update 19 September 2025: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 2 has been released. This release fixes an issue with embedded webview in some applications and fixes changelog.

I restarted the phone, but that didn't change anything.The image quality of the device largely depends on the hardware-specific code from device manufacturer; we don't have much control over it. As such, I would suggest you to ask your port's maintainers to take a closer look into this.

First impressions:
<...>

<...>You're saying that anewer notification from the same contact should replace the old one, but doesn't? That's probably lomiri-push-service as we have a big refactor there to migrate to a different DBus library. If you can turn this into a GitLab issue I would appreciate it. Otherwise I can do it too.

@malditobastardo I used to have overexposed images on higher resolution - same device (not always, but usually shortly after I switched to the higher resolution). So when on UT I took photos in lower res and started relying on Waydroid and GCam even for photos
Unfortunately there is likely no way to improve this on the UT level. I looked into that (granted, with my poor understanding of things) and it looks like all the camera issues (slowness, no support for HDR etc) are already coming from Halium and perhaps the camera being non standard as the Halium/Android layer is already limiting what it can do on UT.
I wonder if there is something the Halium project can do to improve things? Perhaps similarly to what GCam does enable some per-device configs to actually support more of the stuff devices can do.
@peat_psuwit What could a device porter/maintainer do in this instance to make it work better? Thank you

Hello.
Is it still useful to report bugs found in 24.04-1.0 RC2?
When trying to associate a custom ringtone with a contact, I repeatedly encountered failures when copying the .mp3 file.
This behaviour is intermittent.
OK
Lionel has found the origine of the probem and there is no regression.
In fact, the file was alread present in /home/phablet/.local/share/sounds/ringtones/audio/
coming from my other phone on 20.04.
and the copy fails for this.
The message is not well suited or a better behaviour could be implemented in this case. -

This is on my TODO list... -
Update 25 September 2025: we've had a report where some devices fail to boot after installing Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 2, which requires us to delay the release of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0. We're looking into it and will provide update as soon as possible.
