    Thanks for your initiative for making UT better and more reliable. Here are my ideas, although they are similar to what others had already mentioned: Priority 1: Sometimes the phone is stucking, almost freezing after using it a longer time without rebooting or using more apps than just 3-4. Then Lomiri seems to crash and just restarts. An annoying bug that we have since the beginning of UT back in 2015 is still present: When you've opened more than 3 apps and then want to restart or poweroff your device Lomiri crashes and restarts. Then you have to select restart/poweroff again. Priority 2: Like others already said: VoLTE is not reliable yet (but it's seems to be the "basic phone functionality" in more and more countries) WiFi is always trying o connect to last used network instead of the one which has the best signal Bluetooth is almost unusable (no file transfer possible, no hfp in any of my last 4 cars) Notification-area is too fragmented. I think it's better to have less indicators or an option to reach the most used on the same "page". Also it's often hard when swiping down from the notification-area to keep in line with the selected indicator and not to swipe to much to left/right and select the wrong one. I think RCS will be a next big point for UT to keep in line with Android/iOS Priority 3: The browser is of course outdated and it's more for basic browsing. It's even a bit laggy and slow compared to Android, but that's not as important than the outdated engine. The keyboard is sometimes hard to use and I'm writing sentences full of mistakes because of missing blanks and so on. But I don't know why it's happening, if the keys are to narrow or if the input is to slow? Priority 4: The "back" buttons in for example "dekko", uRSSes",... are hard to tap on or sometimes you have tapped on it and you can see the button-press but you have to tap on it again because it was to short or something else. Overall performance, it could be "smoother" when switching between apps and so on. The start-time of apps is much longer than under android, I don't know why they need so long to start. Even a simple app like calculator or clock needs several seconds to start... Support for rounded corners and notches is nowadays a must. When a new user installs UT on his phone and even the clock is not fully visible and there's also no option in the system to set it correctly he will instantly frustrated. Priority 5: Nice to Have - I think with the above points there's no time for "nice to have"

    @gpatel-fr said in Script for updating apps [help needed]: or is there more complicated clickable.json files ? Thanks for asking. Yep, when the json has nested elements it would fail? For example applying the script to this json: } [...] "kill": "qmlscene", "dependencies_host" : [ "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2" ] } will leave a yml file similar to [...] "kill": "qmlscene" "dependencies_host": "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2" and, I think, it should end with a list "dependencies_host": - "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2"

    The Client library for v2 protocol is now a complete QML plugin, which can be easily added to your application and then used in your QML layout. The repository contains all steps to integrate speech recognition client in your project. No permissions needed, the only requirement is server application running in background locally.

    @messayisto my phone has an IPv4 address and can access the store just fine - if the store was not compatible with IPv4 they would have heard of it as open-store.io does not even have an IPv6 address. Maybe it's a problem with your phone provider, configuration of a CGN or network routing, the full path to the destination will usually not be controlled by them, these problems can't be checked locally. If you can't connect at all with a browser, maybe they'd be interested enough to investigate; use Firefox since Morph will not be known to them.

    @CiberSheep said in Merezhyvo browser: @naz.R said in Merezhyvo browser: Thanks again and feel free to check the code if you want to. code base Thanks. I was able to build it from source but not installing it from the Open Store, I see now why, and some minor errors. Again, thank you. You have fun developing this app ^__^ I am happy you managed to get a chance to try the app. Would really appreciate if you could share the errors and issues you found. Regarding to fun: definitely I do, this is the first Electron project and the first UT project. And I thought it is just a small side-project.

    @Shapa https://github.com/pparent76/SignalUT/blob/main/patches/maliit-inputcontext-gtk/client-imcontext-gtk.c.patch Some hacks found after a lot of debuging, investigation, trial and error, and perseverance! I've realized that simulating a keypress from an external keyboard in the window will unlock the enter and back button

    @vverve 2g is still up in a lot of areas with T-Mobile. 2g & 3g are still up if you live under the footprint of one of the Baby Bell regional carriers. They are small and slow to swap out their tower hardware.

    Hello @fredldotme Thank you very much for your answer !! Sorry for the delay, I was not notified Actually, I am a very infrequent phone user. My main point is privacy, notably avoiding tracking. What make me hesitate is : On UT, there are probably no tracker at all in the OS, but maybe some in the (web) apps. And there are still some when browsing the web On DeGoogled OS, there may be links with Google Servers (but I think spoofing the identity with microG), but some systems may block a list of trackers at DNS level, and some VPN (suited to Android but not UT) can block even more trackers Which side is the balance tipping toward ? Thanks again Thomas

    @gandalf said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-11: After some more testing it seems that VoLTE is not working properly on my FP4. It shows up in the settings and status indicator but as soon as I make a call it drops back to 3G. Is VoLTE officially part of this ota? VoLTE on Fairphone 4 has been enabled at port level and should be available starting from Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1 and 20.04 OTA-11. That said, we're aware that our VoLTE code is not fully stable. This is something we'll work on in the future.

    @gpatel-fr said in Problem installing snap: @projectmoon said in Problem installing snap: But that Should Be (TM) fixed with Mir 2.0... probably. Don't think anyone has tested it yet. err, does this Mir 2.0 thingy has magical powers somehow ? I have not seen this part of the UT lore, where was it said that this particular change was going to solve the virtual keyboard problem for apps that are not designed to use it ? It's more of a guess on my part and a part of some of the UT developers. It's because, for example, some snaps expose a wayland plug or something, that cannot yet be bound to. Don't remember the exact specifics of the discussion.

    @sermountain I see many occurences of this kind of problem on the Github site, such as https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/2412 the reference in this post is on this forum and then it goes to a blog post (here: https://rubencarneiro.github.io/rubencarneiro.io//Volla-phone-Repair/) that links itself to a Mediatek flash tool that is reported to work. It's complicated, however I can't directly help you I have a Fairphone myself. Good luck.

    @newguy said in Upgrading Pinephone from 20.04 to 24.04: I'm looking for a way to upgrade my PinePhone to version 24.04. There is no such way yet. At least not unless you are prepared to dive in and fix the issues that will surely cause the OS to malfunction after the upgrade.
