    @arubislander said: Although, to be fair the creator of the WhatsNew app has taken measure to suspend the app when it looses focus as well I've not done that specifically in whatsnew. What happens is that normally when an electron app is not anymore in foreground it goes into a "throttling" mode meant to keep operating the website but with lower resources. This is a feature from chromium. That being said I have no idea why XWayland/electron apps don't get suspended by default. For Signal UT or Whatsnew it is handy to get background notifications though. The behaviour encountered by @smobilesoft (high CPU usage) is not normal , I've not been able to observe it myself, and it seems since he reinstalled the app it has gone. So this is a bit strange.

    @pparent no :(, the battery now is ok, I will monitor it for a couple of days and I ll post here the results. Feel free to ask me any question, I ll monitor the topic. PS I just remembered something: when I updated your app, at the same time I updated the OS. I was waiting for the OS to be downloaded without leaving from the update app. When it finished I clicked on the button next to it and before I exit the update app, the phone automatically restarted to update the OS. It restarted twice, maybe that was the issue, because after that I immediately noticed the battery drainage.

    @Homer in any language you can shell out to systemctl --user stop myserv - or use a systemd api if your language has a module for that. Edit: forgot 2 things: whatever you use (node.js or anything) the way to go to run a server process in your app is with a systemd user service. the code I provided is just an example. For your app you will have to pick carefully where you set your data, not straight under the root like I did. Probably under .local for persistent data or under .cache for transient data.

    @gwado I have never coded without using existing open source code, existing apps, searching for snippets, and using as much as I could from existing code. This is exactly what IA does, but just faster than if you do it yourself. I think in programming, IA is just an increase in productivity.

    @UBportsNews I have 2 questions: -Is there any ongoing plan to developing support for RCS? I think this could be the next blocking point for Ubuntu Touch, so I may contribute to a project to support RCS given that I can find time for that. -What role and importance do you think offering options for all the most popular messaging protocols, have for UT's potential for adoption as a daily driver? Both the standard ones like SMS, MMS, RCS, email, but also the private ones like Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, and even Facebook messenger? Thank you so much for everything!

    @projectmoon said: Though in general, I don't see many payment sites asking for your password at time of check-out, at least once you're at the payment screen. eh, maybe I didn't pay attention on this and only sms-code is sufficient. I have to check it. I'll have to dig into waydroid, but maybe some time in the future - hey, it is not so begginer stuff, right? Thanks for help and nice chat!

    @Futura Thank you for that (Murena comment). I recently researched this via Google & reply said 'Fairphone North American support via Murena'. Sadly, you discovered NOT the case ! It is too bad that details like this don't yet have a place on the devices pages. It is one thing if you have an old phone, and want to try UT. Maybe you already got years of use. But to spend new money, and then have this problem, & no forewarning about lack of support in various countries, is just depressing ! Thank you for your report on this.

    @gpatel-fr I feared you'd say that. But I thought I ask anyway. Nevertheless, thank you so much! Yet, that helped me a lot.

    @Kadafi said: reformatting like windows style is not a good path. I politely disagree. On UT, reflashing without wiping your user data can fix many problems.

    I'm running 24.04-1.x stable. voLTE seems to work. Fingerprint scanner doesn't work, as indicated on the device page. I can't test the camera, since mine is broken. Everything else seems to work. As far as the experience goes, it is a bit sluggish. Battery life has been inconsistent for me in the past. I'll test that out a bit over the coming week (I've just performed a fresh install). Also, the installation process. I installed the required version of Fairphone OS and went through the ubports installer. Going from Fairphone OS -> 24.04 didn't work. It got stuck on the recovery boot stage. Didn't matter if I tried the stable, rc, or dev channel. Same result. However, it works fine if I go from Fairphone OS -> 22.04 -> update to 24.04.
