        Two additional observations:

        Mobile data seems to stop working if you toggle WIFI on and then off again. Not certain if it's that action, or if it's a delay, or what. Toggling cell service off and on again fixes it.

        My gps interface doesn't seem to be detected.

        phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ test_gps
        *** setup signal handler
        *** get gps interface
        *** GPS interface not found :(
         Bye!
        

        However, I'm not certain if this is a me problem or not. I installed by installing android 9 as directed, then flashed droidian, ran that for a few days, the gps was working. Then flashed UT 20.04, and upgraded to 24.04 through the system menu. I didn't think I would need to re-flash android 9 since droidian and UT both use the same method of getting access to the drivers. I'd like to not have to wipe this thing again to test, but will if I have to. Can anyone else confirm their GPS is working?

          Hope this is not caused by my app ( battery-saver). If it is then better to report this feature to the project issue tracker.
          I have no issue here on daily when not using it.

            @lduboeuf doesn't seem so, I don't have it installed as far as I can tell (from OpenStore)

              @VoidItsWarranty my gps works but suffers from the "unable to load right away" issue (takes about 40-50 seconds for GPS to lock onto my location).

              (referencing from the pixel 3a xl page, also not device specific: Devices may take longer than usual to get the first GPS fix because of missing Assisted GPS support. - is what I am referring to).

                @zakafx On update daily channel, the camera does not seem to have the issues on mine. I'm able to use front or back without problems.

                  Camera issue still present. After a few successful pictures (up to 5 or 6 possible) --> freezing screen. Black screen. When changing to rear camera (if possible at all) frozen picture of the front camera is shown. When trying to set the permission of camera access in app permissions of setting menu---> immediate crash of the system setting app. Sometimes, the camera-barcode-reader-app icon showing up when camera icon should appear...
                  Camera actually unusable in the moment for pixel 3axl...
                  Still hoping...
                  Same issue in stable, rc and daily vers 305

                    @saveurlinux it has got better but it is still very inconsistent. Initially after taking one picture I would get the black screen, couldn't flip to the front camera, had to reboot the phone. After a couple of daileys, I was able to flip back between both the rear and the front camera and take pictures, but from time to time the same error would occur. I tested last night and it's the same thing. It's definitely improving though.

                      Daily vers 309 has fixed the issue of resetting unread email counter of Lomiri panel.

                      Thanks to the dev-team!

                        Looks like a headphone issue has been reported as well.

                          @atarilinux I can confirm this behaviour. But only the notification/ ringing of the incoming call is transmitted with this ugly noise. After accepting the call, the call itself is continued without an unwanted noise. Only the call-notification is affected.
