    @gpatel-fr We certainly can als use gsettings. I made a proof of concept for ThemeSwitch app a while ago (https://gitlab.com/Danfro/themeswitch/-/tree/gsetting_focal?ref_type=heads). I am almost sure we can't use other apps values without loosing confinement. The value would need to be provided by the system. I guess if GRID_UNIT_PX could be changed in system settings and apps read that, that might work. Or it may need another apparmor rule. But I am really not that knowledgable to answer all details.

    @peat_psuwit This has fixed the problem I had upon updating to OTA-11 where I stopped receiving incoming SMS, and reflashing with the installer did not fix it. Fantastic news for me, though I don't know of any others who had quite this issue. This update also brings VoLTE and 5G to Oneplus Nord N10. I made my first VoLTE call ever in UT! I haven't stumbled into a 5G zone yet to test. SMS, MMS, mobile data are all funtioning perfectly so far. Everything else is functioning as normal too. I'll post again if I run into any issues. Thanks so much to everybody who worked on this!

    @ravachol I was able to get it working with Telenor. I had to manually enter APN servers. I have a Xiaomi Poco x3 nfc though, not a fairphone.

    @DJac said in Anyone else is having wrong Caller ID when receiving a cal?: i don't know how they can do it I's quite easy. Long time ago it was thought as a feature for companies to show the front desk when a personal line is used. So the people getting called would call back the front desk instead of the direct line of the caller. So basically you can appear to be anyone with the right tools. It also allows to call with masked number... Edit: I found this that explains it (at a very high level) https://spyboy.blog/2025/03/27/the-dark-art-of-phone-number-spoofing-how-scammers-pretend-to-be-you/

    v0.5.1 is live now. New / Improved: Redesigned context menu (fully reworked for a cleaner, more consistent UX). New Help section explaining tab action buttons: Pin, Add to Favorites, Clear & Close, Close. Copy URL button added to the address bar. Background media playback: YouTube and other media sites can keep playing when the tab is not active. Tor updated to the latest bundled version. Fixes: Fixed several bugs of savings and coupons functionality On-screen keyboard Enter handling improved: better distinction between newline vs submit in input fields. Fixed Google Drive downloads (confirmation / popup flow now works correctly). Text selection & copy now works in mobile mode (currently for regular page text only; not yet for form fields). Other: Various small UI tweaks and polish.

    I completely understand the huge impact. It is one of those things engineers call "should have thought about that earlier"... The positive note from this is that at least it has been brought up (again aparently), to be searchable in the forum for others who dwell upon investing in a Fairphone (because older USB3 devices are hard to find).

    @rocket2nfinity Thank you for a possible solution, but bummer on battery drain ! I need to research what effects of 24/7 charging would be on battery life. Could do that while phone in home office, then Waydroid off for mobility / cell use.

    @mango Divide into groups based on needs is a good idea. Assign a rank # to all you mentioned. My version of list starts with: Group 1: need voice calls - with VoLTE (required in some countries now, and many more in future). USABLE on 4 or 5 phones as of today ? Have not tried it enough to say 'mainstream ready' or not. Group 1a: Voice calls over Wifi (Rural areas, etc). Hope you don't need it. NOT supported by UT. Group 1b: VOIP to PSTN. Please tell me how to set this up (see 1a, above) other groups ? Your list... BTW: Libre office snap installs directly - no need for Libertine. Use wireless external display direct to TV (IF TV supports Miracast. Many LG TV's do). Limit 1080P, even on a 4K TV, due to Wifi speeds, or something. Wired external display would be nicer, but it seems NOT many older phones that UT currently runs on support it. (if Oneplus 8 gets UT port, I think it supports wired ext display). Wired keyboard & mouse through USB-C expansion adapter with PD charging (Acasis $10) operational.

    @ChromiumOS-Guy Thank You. I might follow that up when I have a bit more time & energy. I bought an easy-to-unlock BE2026 via Ebay, which arrived a couple days ago, and got UT installed. I still have a BE2028 to try to unlock. Not worth a huge effort now, though.

    @mango as far as I know Dekko2 is the only local client for UT. I don't use it but I tested it and with a few wrinkles (see issue) it seems to work. I don't see why Aol mail should be a problem since it seems to work with Imap/smtp.

    @ma the application was not open in the background as far as I know. I did not configure anything for the app with TweakUT, I left the default value. As far as I remember, when all of this was happening I was connected via wifi. Restart: I stop the phone every day. what I see looks very much like existing issues #179 and #183. BTW whatever your problem is (you never described it), you can turn on debugging after installing dekko, starting it and closing it before setting up ,your account, go to the config directory under ~/.config/dekko2.dekkoproject and turn on debugging according to this procedure.

    @richarddb Hallo Richard! Ik heb wel een paar antwoorden over mijn eigen gebruik: bankzaken: op de bank. Thuis, op de laptop. Signal: Signal in Waydroid als primaire client, en elke twee maanden even aan. Signal UT als secondaire client. Werkt goed. Delta Chat: Delta Touch. Werkt goed. Proton mail, Proton Pass: weet ik niet, gebruik ik niet. Mastodon gebruik ik niet maar ik zie wel Mastodon apps in de Open Store, die zou ik eerst eens proberen.

    hi @stanwood, Well, I'm always glad that forum readers take the time to read the posts before replying. Since I started the thread myself and specifically labeled it โ€œoff topic,โ€ I would like to mention that even the best cell phones and their customized software would be useless without telephone service providers. Greetings Mario
