@rocket2nfinity When you say logged into a Google Account, do you mean Google Fi for that SIM? Or do you mean having the SIM in an Android phone that is logged into Google? Since my SIM is in my N10 running UT, can I put it into a different phone, running Android, and turn off RCS? Otherwise, I don't know how to manage a SIM in a regular Google account (not Google Fi). Thanks.

@ChromiumOS-Guy said: only phone (the app) has background access to microphone by default But some other apps may legitimately want to access the microphone when the phone is suspended to make calls. Like for example Signal, for example as Signal UT is based on an open-source app, and not a webapp, I trust it will not spy on the microphone, and calling with the phone screen off can be a nice feature as well.

@slowcyclist I moved thread so it gets more views, because it may not be device specific.

@arubislander said: it is not the case for video codecs either indeed. This week-end I tried seriously to add ffmpeg codecs to my FP5 with 24.04-1.2 stable and basically succeeded, see https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-messaging-app/-/issues/359#note_3122981838 So it is possible to play ALAC files with the existing UT applications (mediaplayer...). The fact that it is slower than when accelerated by the hardware is true of course, but a not too old processor like the FP5 one is powerful enough to handle simple video files without acceleration (did not try 4K though).

Hi, I have a slightly different problem. Oneplus Nord N100 (UT 24.04-1.2 stable) with Nissan hands-free kit <MyCar>. Pairing works without any errors, but the screen shows that no network is available. This means that I cannot make or receive calls. image20260223_151514524.png[image: 1772400412224-9cd5c12b-0204-409c-a456-f4a635e3a255-image.jpeg] It seems that my hands-free kit cannot handle VoLTE, is that correct? With UT 20.04 OTA 9 / on the 3G network, it was possible to make calls using the hands-free system. Greetins Mario

@lsitongia The group MMS and WiFi bug fix is in testing now. Will be rolled out soon. NA issues group - https://t.me/+Fvp5xF2fK-E2Yzcx

@lsitongia Maybe you could try in the terminal (or better connected via ssh) a command like: syncevolution --print-databases backend=caldav username=<your-user-name> password=<your-password> syncURL=<your-service-url> as an example, the service URL for my test radicale server looks like: http://192.168.20.12:5232

@nbdynl There is a way to force the update. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/ubuntu-touch-24-04-1-2-and-20-04-ota-12-release-3987

I admire the partnership between UBports and Volla. It's very good to have two new modern high-performance smartphones supporting 5g. This has nothing to do with UT but I am less confident in the future with what we will be able to do with UT as a daily use smartphone and especially with androîd alternatives like Volla OS or others due to upcoming restrictions from Google and the incidious need to use official apps with real Google Play services, Micro G being rarely sufficient. This will not dissuade me from continuing to support Volla.

@messayisto I just checked on my signal bridge room. That has encryption enabled. So in theory it should work this way. But of course no idea if it would work when setting it up new again. Sometimes old tjings work and new ones break.

@WillemHexspoor said: I'm referring to 24.04-1.x oh, right. I must learn to read. And not reply early on a Sunday morning

@formel Can confirm it works as well. I have installed it successfully on TB-X306F and TB-X306X multiple times to breath a better life into these older tablets. To help you, you must have the following before attempting the UT install: a) A TB-X306F or X that is the 4Gb/64Gb version - that gives you the best experience. b) A return to Android strategy - You need a windows PC and the Lenovo Software Fix tool - by far the easiest way to restore a Lenovo device is with this tool. c) Decent USB-C cable d) The tablet has to have Android 11 running on it for technical reasons e) The latest version of ADB and Fastboot installed on the PC - Windows had an issue with FastbootD (not fastboot), but it has sorted itself out now and works. f) Patience and leaving things alone. Moving the tablet when things are going on can cause a loose USB cable to move and stop things working. g) This tablet on the installer does everything for you with minimal interaction, as above, leave it alone and things take time, the reboot from fastboot to fastbootD can take a couple of minutes and the reboot from fastbootd to recovery can take 2~3 minutes. Be patient and persevere. I hope this helps, but do make sure you have the TB-X306F 4Gb/64Gb version. There is a Telegram channel for this device here as well as help with installation here where you will get help and quickly.

Just wanted to share that I had some battery issues (draining too fast, often draining the entire battery within 1 day) with a OnePlus Nord N10 5g. The phone I purchased was an old refurbished one and I'm not sure if the battery was refreshed or if it was the original battery. Nonetheless, my battery issues have seemed to resolved and thought I'd share. It may help others or not. So, take it or leave it. By default, the screen brightness was quite high (to the far right on the slider) and I can't recall if "Adjust automatically" was enabled or not. I manually selected the screen brightness to the lowest level I could tolerate without feeling like I couldn't see the screen. Surprisingly for me, I can move the slider almost all the way to the left. I also unchecked the "Adjust automatically". So, now the screen brightness is using the minimal battery. (I believe this was the biggest gain for me). Furthermore, I am fairly conscious to disable WiFi unless I am actively using it for internet access. That is all I did and now the battery lasts a couple days without charging (vs completely drain in 1 day) and does not drain much at all. One last thing I am mindful of is to only use the charging cable that came with the device. I think the fast chargers that are more modern may easily cycle/overcharge older batteries and reduce the battery's long term life. With all batteries, there is a limited number of charging cycles and you'll notice that each 100% full charge may not last as long as when it was brand new. Overcharging (while at 100%) and/or letting the battery drain completely to 0% may reduce the life of the battery a bit. So, being mindful to unplug when at 100% and to start charging before it gets too low may help in maximizing its life. Hope this helps. Good luck maximizing your device's battery life!

@Upruzzinga said in Lenovo model that is two years older than the M10.: be flashed with this UBTouch image and then used as a Linux smart device similar to the Ubuntu Touch M10? Very, very unlikely and there is a risk you'll brick it. Phones and tablets differ a lot more than PCs do. Each device needs its own installation file and if there isn't one, it's generally not a good idea to flash one that is meant for a different device.

@peat_psuwit this topic (4370) is the one that tells me to go to a shelter to not get killed so yes we should subscribe to it, L.

Ok, second time is the charm I switched USB cable (it was probably bad), ordered wiping user data and used 24.04-stable for flashing... Flashing worked the second time and now I'm on UT on my FP5
