Pixel 3a/3aXL and Noble (24.04) Experiences
-
Hi everyone! This thread is to track experiences with Noble 24.04 on the Pixel 3a/3aXL. Thanks to @fredldotme for his hard work and the great port as always! I test drove it over the weekend and everything was pretty snappy.
I did come across two issues.
The first issue was with the camera app. The first time the camera would work. If I closed the app and locked the screen and then tried to go back to the camera app, the app would show a black screen and would not take any pictures.
The second issue was with Libertine. Libertine apps from before the OS upgrade wouldn't load. I removed the Libertine containers and will rebuild these. I'm assuming the OS update was the issue here rather than actual functionality.
Of course, VoLTE didn't work, but that was expected. This is something our community is trying our best to work on.
If there is anything else anyone wants to contribute, please post here. Thanks!

Hello,
I would also like to thank you for your work on 24.04, it is excellent.
And I will add my experience:
Pixel 3A XL 24.04 clean installation via USB.
Encryption enabled.
Just like the previous camera, it freezes on a black screen (it helped me to leave the camera on and close the camera app on the panel. Sometimes it helps).
Another experience is that after installing the app, the app icons are not added to the menu – you have to restart the phone.
I also noticed that the control panel is missing, for example, the number of received SMS messages.
I had a problem getting the Dekko2 app to work after adding an IMAP account; it wouldn't load emails (mysteriously, it worked, but I have no idea how).
Despite all the minor issues, thank you all for your work on this system.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Thanks for the information! We are currently working on a new port. I am not sure if we will have the same issues or not, but we'd like to document any issues so we can hopefully address them when the port is finished. Also, we are curious about people's general experience using Ubuntu Touch on the Google Pixel 3a/3aXL. Again, thanks for sharing!
