send file journal.log?

attached.
Note that I know why there are deny messages for ntp servers. It's the firewall on my installation (not ufw - a site firewall) blocking ntp for devices on wifi (these devices can only ping and https/https)
journal.log

Thank you for the log. While it gives me some information, unfortunately this log does not show the issue being reproduced. I'm going to include some changes in 24.04-1.2 which should makes this happen less often, but I won't be able to guarantee that it actually fixes the issue.

Since you mentioned NTP being blocked on your local network, it's probably worth mentioning that we currently don't use date & time given by cellular towers; the only way we can automatically set date & time is through NTP over either Wi-Fi or mobile data. Although in your case, I suspect that systemd-timesyncd (NTP client) doesn't react well with changing network conditions, which is why disabling and re-enabling mobile data doesn't help.

On a Fairphone 4, I've migrated from daily build (19th October) to this RC, I confirm I am still able to use VoLTE to make a call.

Although I cannot send SMS to recipient with phone number formated with my country prefix (+41).
I share log here with redacted recipient phone number:

sms_send.log

Edit: during the day I was able to receive VoLTE call and receive SMS.

We're going to land a change that could help with this in tomorrow's 24.04-1.x daily image. If possible, please switch to 24.04-1.x daily channel and see if you can now send an SMS. If this is successful, we're going to have another RC image.

yes it fixed itself without me doing anything for that. Looking at the systemd log files, I see that some are indeed dated from 1970 and some from July 2025 (I got the file at end of October), it's a bit difficult to make something from logs in this situation (not sure that journalctl is handling this well)

Ah thanks for clearing that point.
From the logs, when the phone is stopped, current date/hour is saved and restored at restart, so when the upgrade happened somehow this saved date was wiped out it seems. If one assumes that, problems in the mobile data (my place has variable cellular quality connexion) combined with the blocking of Ntp on my wifi network could explain that the phone was stuck in 1970 even after a restart. Eventually the phone got a cellular data connection and resyncronized its current data.

@peat_psuwit Thanks for the detailed explanation, very helpful! And the detection in the MR you linked is a piece of art.

I've installed the release "2025-11-04/3" from the daily channel and I was able to send SMS, thanks !

I've also checked again the SMS reception and VoLTE calls (sending and receiving): everything works well

@adorsaz On my oneplus Nord 10 5g I am still not receiving sms neither on the latest rc nor on daily. I had to revert to stable. There its working. Did write that to the porter on telegram, too. Maybe device specific?

This weekend I updated my Vollaphone22 from 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 and screen starts blinking on boot before the logo Ubuntu appears.
With installer reinstalled 24.04-1.1 without wiping data and everything I use every day starts working normally until I found a serious bug on calls.
Yesterday a friend calls me, I answered the call but no sound from other side. My friend repeated calling me and all answering was no sound.
With other phone at hand I search the source of the error and found the Vollaphone22 was the culprit.
How to reproduce is like this, make a call to other phone, wait that the other side answer the call, talk to test that audio is ok, wait that the other phone hang the call, now if you repeat process there is no sound if answered the call. Only rebooting Vollaphone works again, untill other phone terminates the call first and error returns.
This error does not happens on version 20.04 stable.

I yesterday installed on my volla phone 22 Ubport 24.04-1.1 RC1 via RC channel. I had problems with incoming and outgoing voice calls without any voice being heard in both directions. Thus I reinstalled 24.04-1.x stable via stable channel. However instead of running the again the 24.04.1 software from stable, the phone is now in a reset loop. It shows the volla screen, then a black screen via backlight on, then a black screen with backling off and then again the volla screen. And so on.

When going into boot loader, I was able to start the recovery mode, however it did not change, it is still in boot loop. Ubports installer is not finding the phone too. What can I do? I plan tomorrow to go to the phone service shop in berlin, which provides volla service and try to reflash the phone.

Thank you for the report. We're looking into this issue and will delay Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1 until we have this issue figure out.

We're sorry that this happen. Please try the following:

Boot to bootloader by pressing Volume Up + Power (or Volume Up + plugging cable), then select "Enter fastboot menu". Do not enter recovery.
Starts UBports Installer, then manually select "Volla Phone 22" (the Installer currently cannot auto-detect device model in bootloader mode).
Select "24.04-1.x Stable" channel and ensure "Bootstrap" option is checked. Leave "Wipe Userdata" unchecked.
Follow further instructions from the Installer.

@messayisto Well , stable is as it's say , for the sake of , learning/testing , i am reinstalling daily , from the phone updating app, not the installer ( ''the'' not recommended way ? maybe that changed?) and see if its working , or how many updates it will survive !!.
So , updated booted to 24.04-1 x daily on oneplus n10 5g ,says revision 353 ,
look like it all works for now , as stable did !
I will post it if it goes wrong .
i guess 24.04-1 x daily is 24.04-1-1 daily ?

Hello forum,

Since 24.04-1.1 rc1 I noticed that my micro SD card is read only mounted. I use a Volla X23.

A follow up of my second daily test , thumb down ,receiving messages last an update , well ,it worked after first reboot upon new daily revision , but stop after second reboot !!? encounter boot freezing in bootloader unlock warning stage ,same happend one month ago before daily stopped receiving messages.
Strange , plugged the phone to pc , to reinstall stable , forgot usb setting was in usb Tethering(here french=Partage de connection usb) , suddenly it picked up all those ''not received'' messages !!?!!
Tried to reproduce it , could not .
Back to stable , receiving messages.
Note ; daily here = 24.04-1-x , stable=24.04-1.0

I'm unable to reproduce this issue. There's actually a number of reasons a storage could be mounted read-only; could you please try switching back to 24.04-1.x Stable channel and see if the issue goes away?

@peat_psuwit

Hello,
I installed 24.04-1.0 again and the micro SD card is mounted read only there too.

I believe it still worked on 20.04.

Many thanks & best regards

@DJac

Hello, from https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/suzu/

Essential Features State: Abandoned

So your only chance is with Ubuntu 20.04 it seems, last UT version will not work just like this.

Update 18 November 2025

Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1 RC 2 is now available for testing. This release fixes:
- Issues with voice calls on Volla Phone 22.
- Crash in Messaging app when attempting to play an attached video or audio.
- Sending SMS on some VoLTE-enabled devices.

The new release date for Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1 is 25 November 2025.

Due to a migration in Volla Phone 22's hardware abstraction layer (HAL), after receiving Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1 RC 1 or later (including daily channel), you will be unable to switch back to Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 using UI. Please follow this instruction to use UBports Installer to re-install Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0.
It is known that Sony Xperia X doesn't boot Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.x images. This has been known since before 24.04-1.0 release, but due to administrative mistake, the list of device on our release announcement was not updated. The release announcement blog has since been updated. Due to its age, we're unable to guarantee if we'll be able to restore support for Sony Xperia X within 24.04-1.x releases or not. We're sorry for your inconvenience.

Charly

Hello,

today I installed 24.04-1.1 rc2 but the micro SD card is still mounted read only.
This is a problem to me.

Many thanks & best regards

the micro SD card is still mounted read only.

i'll try to find a micro sd card in the following days to check if it's just your phone or a general problem.

In the mean time, if you can ssh to your phone and have some debugging practice, you could try to use

journalctl --user -e -u ciborium

and/or

udisksctl

(a command line utility)

to check a bit on how things stand.
Since I have never tried to do any test at all with a working and a non-working sd card on UT I'll not be able to help much in understanding these logs / reports, it's just that I know they exists.

Ah, well, you did check the sd card on another device to see if it has not developed a fault at the same moment ? I know it's unlikely, but such things do happen.

@peat_psuwit

I upgraded my FP5 without much problem (I'd assume that it's just a software 'feature' that after the upgrade is finished the button is stuck at 'upgrading' and it needs a press on it for a dialog to appear to reboot the phone ?), at first I noticed nothing, now I have noticed a more annoying problem but I'm not sure it's new with RC2, maybe I did not notice it with RC1, but I'm almost sure that I would have noticed it when I ran 24.04 daily: when I disable Wifi and enable it again, I see the big list of Wifi access point , I then exit settings by pushing it out in the UT task selector, when I get into the settings again and disable Wifi then exit settings like before, and then enter again in settings and enable Wifi, the switch does not turn green and the phone reboots by itself. The wifi is not enabled after the reboot but I can then enable it without reboot.

Not sure of the exact steps, maybe it takes one repeat or two, but the reboot is very reproducible.

@gpatel-fr I believe you are experiencing:-
https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/fairphone-5/fairphone-fp5/-/issues/37
Which I occasionally have had on the current stable version anyway.
You can force it to happen if you play with the Network toggle buttons for a bit but in my general usage I find it's rare to trigger this bug.
