@ubangel92 Are you getting a charging indicator on the screen or anything? I would inspect the port on the phone to make sure you don't have trash built up inside it, or other issues. I would look closely with a jeweler's loupe or magnifying glass. I had similar sounding issues with my last phone I had and cleaning the charge port out with a toothbrush fixed it.

@jezek oups, still messaging-app to be built again...

messaging-app updated

@lduboeuf said in The MMS lost story:

Do you differentiate a download Error with a "Cellular-data off" state ?
For the "data-off", it could be a simple message like on other platforms with a "Download" button.

In the code nuntium returns an error on first connection attempt (there are more stages), but I really don't know if different kind of trouble will cause different error type. I can assume, that if an error happens after first connection attempt, it is not cause of "Celular-data off" state. And I really don't have an idea, how to cause different cause of errors. The plan is to send the error text and/or type to messaging-app via the error message. Maybe then, we will spot the pattern. Meanwhile you can investigate (if you want) and try to cause & get some non "Cellurae-data off" error and then see the log (code producing download errors is here). Maybe, if we can't differentiate by error message, nuntium could ask someone on dbus, or see the config, what the state of cellular switch is and make a note about it in the error message.

Btw, I don't know how are other platforms are handling mms download errors.

Giving it another shot right now. I'll let you all know how it goes. Thanks for the help in advance

@kmsgli i haven't had that issue, mine works flawless for a day or some time and then I lose calls and sms and have to reboot. I heard it wasn't just the 3a but a few different halium 9 devices with these issues

@rocket2nfinity Not sure if by Verizon forwarding if you mean the messages that went thru as "Chats" or something different. As far as I know though I am having no other issues I had people at work today send me messages and they all went thru, and the day before I had my wife go into where she messaged me and changed the options to "Only send as SMS or MMS", then she sent a message and it went thru to me. I was wondering if for that "Chats" feature through the messages we both had to be on the same service(straight talk) or required the same towers(Verizon) as both our phones previously worked on verizon towers, as I know because if I sent a text to an email address it came through as "mynumber@vtext.com"(with my old phone prior to the one I have now).

I'm just still stumped as to why I can't send a text to an email now however because I could even do that back when I had flip phones. But now when I try to send a test message to an email address of mine it doesn't go thru, it fails. I know with this phone I should be on AT&T towers I guess and maybe that is the issue as I found another forum were people were having issues with text to email and vice versa with AT&T but I'm not sure if that is the issue or not.

@ubuntoutou
Just wondering , do you have Launcher Modular app installed?

@ragz In relation to the title of your post :
About the current UT smartphones, except error, i think the undisputed leader in battery capacity is the Volla Phone: 4700 mAh

I also have one and just tried.
After the fastboot flash just nothing more 😞
Could help testing.
With removable battery and micro sd this device is at least as good as OPO.
I still love it

@ragz The difference is in the very design of the OS. Ubuntu Touch is based on Ubuntu, which is a GNU/Linux distribution, so its userbase is more interested in open code and transparency. By contrast, Microsoft and Apple's models are based on profiting off their users, so they hard code the data farming into their programs/products.

Now I didn't bring up Android because... if UT code is open, couldn't someone take it, make it have data harvesting and all that and close source it? They could, and that basically is what Android is: Linux with closed source parts and Google's intrusive presence. So UT's workaround is to basically partition off the closed source controller (which replaces the GNU part of GNU/Linux) and open the rest of the phone.

@fredldotme what I don't understand, what is different here from a diff-update (OTA) which is working.
And also the strange fact, that flashing the stock system-image and after it my ubports system image fixes the issue. I mean both images are overriding the system partition, but only flashig the ubports system image again isnot enough.

What is so special about the stock image?

Hi

I have a Pixel (sailfish) 128gb I'm ready to put onto a spare device whenever.

What kind of tests will you need to run?
