@alaskalinuxuser I've just tried your click on 24.04-1.2 on a Fairphone4 and it works well thanks! The content hub is a great feature and I was able to send and receive pictures. I've installed the Malakiboard with the Ambot Installer and reduced the height of my keyboard and it seems there's some space wasted when keyboard is shown on Kaidan (see screenshot below). I don't know if there's a way with Lomiri to know the current keyboard height to adapt the UI correctly. Anyway this is a minor bug. [image: 1765528336364-screeshot_kaidan_0_6_0.jpeg]

@kugiigi said in Tip: call a contact with one hand (secret UT key !): This is definitely a bug If you say so, however if I can insist, the phone would actually be more usable and intuitive if the icon for adding a contact could be copied, removing the '+' and left displayed by default. Going in the contacts app using the top right button feels cumbersome to me in comparison, needs attention to press the right button, easy when confortably sit at a desk, less so when walking in a street, half of the time I press the wrong button, or I need to stop walking and look carefully at the phone screen. Unrelated: when displaying the recent calls list and selecting one (that's also an operation difficult to do with one hand BTW), the add to contact is then made visible and I don't see the logic why because if clicking it, the selected number is not proposed for a new contact. My first intuition is that the add to contact (the character symbol with a '+') should be displayed only after pressed the '+' button. Minor gripe but this is a very important app for an object that is still often called a phone instead of a pocket computer. @kugiigi said in Tip: call a contact with one hand (secret UT key !): if you're old enough, you can actually search for a contact using T9 typing I never even noticed the letters below the numbers. Maybe it's because I have actually used an old school phone, with these things, it's enabled only in text fields, when composing a number to call, it does not work, typing a '3' produces a '3' and that's exactly what it is doing in the phone app - so if it's possible to use the phone keypad to search a contact, it's not obvious enough for me to use it even knowing now it's supposed to be possible ! To be complete, I have noticed that sometimes a contact list is displayed below the keypad but I have never found the magic wand that I used to display it without intending. If it was a desktop app at this point I'd press F1 to get online help...

@GooglyBear No, only the commands mentioned above. Let's try again. It seems that adb root is disabled by default. You need to add a module to be able to use it. Is that correct?

It was indeed interesting but it's most likely using Unity 7 and not Unity 8/Lomiri so I highly doubt it'll ever come back with Lomiri. I mean it would be nice but it's at the bottom of the priority list. Also in general, TV is sadly plague with proprietary things so it'll almost impossible to penetrate the market. Unless you don't care about HDR, Dolby, and surround sound and such, you'll be stuck with SDR and sometimes 1080p on Linux.

@hummlbach isn't there a way to unminimize like in Ubuntu? Like, surely I don't have to install every man page manually...

@jilly For a while it helped to turn the notifications off and on again for Cinny. Greetings Charly

@wally Yes, I was adjusting the edges in UI tweaks. However as I stated in other thread I never liked swype OS navigation. Expanding the subject, I also don't like touch OS navigation. Touch screens register the touch "without my consent", i.e. when I just grab the phone. That's wrong, but it's been like that since the beginning of all mobile OSes. I'd love to see an option to enable touch-and-confirm input where you touch and have to swype a bit immediately to make the original touch point registered as touch, otherwise it's meaningless

@MarcelloTogg I have two Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro M2003J6B2G (global). I use them in Belgium. Very pleasant phones to use with UT. All is working very well.

said in Enabling MAC randomization: I'll see how it works. 10 days later, I have not seen any problem running with Mac randomization, and I use Wifi every day. On the 'getting the list of stations' subject, I have noticed something new: when I go to Wifi settings and there is nothing displayed (except the access point the phone is connected to, that is), if in a (ssh) console I enter sudo iw dev wlan0 scan the phone screen displays magically the list that was scanned. I don't know what this could mean, maybe the list is cached somewhere and sometimes the cache is stale and not refreshed automatically or it's something else. The cache hypothesis is confirmed just now, I had left displayed a list of wifi stations, left the phone rest for some time, after unlocking it the list has disappeared. There is a wrinckle though: sometimes entering the refresh command, the reply of the command is 'scan aborted!'. This could also be what happens when it does not work. Unfortunately in both cases, the command is displayed in the system journal, but when something goes wrong nothing more is displayed. Sometimes the list vary from one execution to the next a few seconds later, but maybe it's because it's radio after all. Or there is a too short timeout. More investigation is needed (but I'm not giving up, this is only a follow-up). Last thing: the 'scan' command has a [randomise[=<addr>/<mask>] flag, so the randomization can be at 2 levels (scan and normal use) and can not to be done at the scan level, although I don't see why this could have 2 different results on 2 configuration that seem the same. I don't even know why there are 2 levels in the Mac randomization. The only thing I know for sure is that there are some wifi hardware/firmware/driver (?) that do not support Mac randomization (because I have read it in the configuration files for the FP5) so it could be remotely possible that some configuration don't support the randomization at the scan level while supporting it for normal use.

@gpatel-fr Perfect, thank you!

Update to 86 , not strumbled on one bug yet. Just to follow the pace of updates here , simply .

@RapidRotator How did you install Waydroid and the Waydroid image? I installed it via Waydroid Helper (regular image, not Gapps), and everything just worked. Had to grant a few random permissions to microG, but everything else including signature spoofing was supported out of the box. Edit: I should also mention that I did nothing special to install microG. Just downloaded the regular APK (NOT the user mode one), and installed it. Then updated via f-droid.

Could anyone that has that kind of issue remember the steps done ? e.g from 20.04 stable to 24.04.x daily, then back to 24.04.1 stable, then.... If there were remote calendars, etc...

@advocatux it's hard to stop myself from doing so sometimes XD

@enki Bug in the Bluetooth? That type of issue does happen intermittently. Try disabling bluetooth then rebooting, on reboot wait for the phone to settle for a few minute before enabling bluetooth and trying again. https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/fairphone-5/fairphone-fp5/-/issues/14

I eventually figured out how to get the 'Sealed' app working, by changing the URL from bitwarden.com (the default) to https://vault.bitwarden.eu. bitwarden.eu does not work!

hi, I have a Fairphone 4 UT 24.04 1.1 Germany Fonic (Telefonica, O2) overall its working pretty good. I have a more stable phone call connection with better quality because before the last update only 2G worked for me. a nice additional benefit for me is the gain in battery life while staying on 4G all day long VoLTE was disabled as I switched to 2G only and went back to 4G. After restarting the phone VoLTE was back there again.

SOLVED !

@fredldotme Nice, though I just logged in to say that I can't test it anytime around. I've lost the phone. It's been a few days so I have no hope getting it back by a chance. I've been thinking in the meantime and decided I'll rather not buy another one anytime soon. I'm still interested in using Ubuntu touch but there are points to address before I'd be happy with it, so I might try to help solving them in VM (or just wait if eventually these got solved...). For now I've set price alerts in my favorite shops, hoping to catch next nice discount
