Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 call for testing

rduivenvoorde

FP5 en Morph testing here on 24-04-2.0. The good news: I can now login tot the DPG (newspaper) sites with my valid login \o/ (earlier I got something like 'error or misbehave detected', probably the bot-detection?

But having troubles with my own simple Basic Authenticated websites and the login dialog.

The normal username/password dialog appears, and I can login.
But after reopening Morph again, the (saved) tab is open, and there are several issues:

either I fail to login again, I
cannot close the dialog on the phone (on a big screen I 'escape' works
the keyboard shows, but the dialog is not visible anymore (some white space seems to show it: after entering username, click the white space, give username, click the white space etc etc
others have issues with this? (or is Basic Authentication over https dead)

Non related to this: should a phone work in a car using Bluetooth? It see it connects as a headset, so I can talk/hear. But I does not present a phone or contacts to the car?

FP4 here

update did not work using the directions in OP, however, update worked using UB-Installer

indicators work well around notch, that's a real plus!
screenrotation works fine, indicators and notch return to their place just fine

what I tested so far worked fine
batterylife looks fine
carrier indicator behaves as usual (dropping when 5G)

Signal UT does not display the keyboard, I assume that is in line with X11 apps not displaying the keyboard, as someone already stated

I'm quite happy with this update
so long, and thanks

@phandersson May I ask if Morph is/was working for you on the Volla Quintus in 24.02-2.x?

I've not tried 24.04-2.x yet, but I can do so and report back.

Regarding Morph in particular, what kind of test are you interested in?

To push your contact to the car kit, you can try using 'Ratatoskr' (https://next.open-store.io/app/ratatoskr.petroniusniger/). I haven't tested it on Noble yet, but I've already received positive reports from other users.

Just tried to upgrade the Quintus to 24.04-2.0. As recommended, I switched to the 'release candidate' channel and checked for updates. It downloaded an image identified as "version 15", which I installed. The robot character announced the install and the phone rebooted without issue, but Settings still shows it as 24.04-1.3, still on the RC channel (24.04-1.x/arm64/android9plus/rc), but with no further update waiting.

Have I missed anything?

@PhAndersson

then run the following command in Terminal app or via ADB/SSH:

gsettings set io.ubuntu-touch.system-settings.update offer-development-release true

@PhAndersson to be 100% sure which version/channel is going to be flashed, go to https://system-image.ubports.com/24.04-2.x/ and check the latest manually.

P.S. Battery life isn't good on the 2.x daily, -30% last night.

A bug has shown up for me. FP5, 2.0 Beta.

A collegue called me this morning, and didn't get any sign of life from my phone. I had no missed calls on my phone. Confirmed that it was still not working with a different phone number, despite the reception triangle being filled and the L being there. I'm on a VoLTE only network. I was able to receive calls again after a reboot.

Of course -- right under my nose. Sorry for the silly question.

Running 24.04-2.0 beta now.

Thanks much.

First feedback regarding Morph:

general web surfing works OK (news sites, etc.)
searching through Google works OK
creating bookmarks works OK
viewing the bookmarks: OK
opening link in new tab: OK
showing open tabs and closing some of them: OK

I also tried accessing a personal web application on my local net that uses Apache Basic Authentication method:

Morph shows the login dialog, but it disappears as soon as you tap the username field
navigating to the password field is not obvious
once authentication is complete, the web app interface displays, but only part of it (disclaimer: its home page uses frames and the app was never designed to be accessed from a mobile)
also, it seems it re-prompts for credentials in order to display the 2nd frame, instead of re-using the already provided ones

Something else I know was problematic with Morph on Focal was handling captive portals for WiFi authentication (a rather typical setup in hotels these days). This I couldn't test with 24.04-2.0 beta.

Bluetooth on the Quintus is still problematic as far as connecting to a laptop is concerned. The behaviour is still the same as the one described here: Noble bluetooth issues.
