Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0

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

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.

Sadly this one I cannot reproduce. I'm afraid you'll have to ask the port's maintainer for help on this one...

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.

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!

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 overriden ( list is always growing)
Telephony stack is working well,
No issues with the browser

Congrats for this huge milestone
