I've noticed a bug that is a bit problematic: I cannot allow a QML5 app to have access to the microphone. For example if I install the Recorder app, without previous install, I cannot record anything, because I cannot allow it to access to the microphone, no authorization dialog shows up. I guess the same may apply to position permission.

@pparent The word sigma has some not very neutral meanings tied to it these days, as in alpha, beta and sigma males. I would not go for this name, unless you want the app to be associated with the manosphere. Maybe you could pick a nice animal or plant you like, that starts with an S? Seal, seagull, satsuma, strawberry?

@Lakotaubp which country, UK I guess ? Because Lebara is also available in other countries.

@Luksus said: @Moem yes, same applies for the OP5(t). Thank you. Then I'll just wait patiently.

Just for information, I'm kind of back to square one: after power-cycling the Quintus, the BT connection to the laptop drops immediately. This time at least, there is a trace in 'journal': Jun 30 13:13:52 ubuntu-phablet bluetoothd[2915]: src/profile.c:ext_connect() Headset Voice gateway failed connect to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx: Connection refused (111) (where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx stands for the laptop's BT adaptor MAC address). No equivalent error has been found on the laptop.

@myeager67 Problem here is not the edl cable, it's the files needed for flashing in edl mode, that Qualcomm, if I understood correctly, don't want Fairphone to give to end users. Also, not answering to you here, Fairphone no longer provides motherboard as part end user can purchase like they did for some previous Fairphones, because it is no longer allowed by law in UE as it is tied to IMEI (I red that somewhere on Fairphone forum), only repair service can.

This is great news, I'll test new halium on my Pixel 3a when I'm back from holiday!

@fischer.poco said: @turtle_racer Thanks for the help and comment. Now, if I understand correctly, I should reinstall OS Oxygene... and then reinstall the entire UT? You're welcome @fischer.poco ! No worries man. We all had to learn this initially (myself included), so you are doing great. You are past the hardest part in my opinion which is having a phone with unlocked bootloader! So, congrats on that! OnePlus has really clamped down and seems to not give out unlock tokens. Yes, you are understanding correctly. Re-install correct OxygenOS version and reinstall entire Ubuntu Touch. I think you should be good from there, but if not, just post in the forum and there are many kind people here to try to help out, such as @rocket2nfinity and @rondarius and others. Good luck!

@gpatel-fr Merci beaucoup pour ces informations je vais orienter ma recherche du côté de Volla

@Farmebrown the trouble with using a talking electric heater as an advocacy helper is that it is making your thoughts look likely without proper basis. In the case of your post, it is asking to Ubuntu Touch to provide an alternative to a Windows software called 'Windows phone link'. Why is this inappropriate ? because it is a desktop software. Ubuntu Touch is a phone software. Ubuntu Touch do not aim at being an alternative to Fedora, Debian Ubuntu... If KDE Connect find this functionality out of scôpe, if no well known software phone exists on Linux that can do that with an Android phone, that's for a reason: it's because it's a marginal need for a market that is - if one takes 3% of the 1 billion users of desktop OS - about 30 million users. If and when Linux desktop developers write such a software that can connect to an Android phone to do something equivalent to what you are asking, now it could be the moment to study why an UT phone could not be used instead of an Android phone. I'd say that this hypothetical problem could probably be solved then entirely at the linux kernel level without any Ubuntu Touch application software. I think that the Ms software relies probably only on 'standard' Bluetooth features.

@YamiYukiSenpai yeah, I don't know about fluffychat but I'll list a few apps that I've tried: libreoffice: Works great while docked, but the windows that you open from inside the app (e.g the settings window) cant be moved or resized, having you moving the main window arround so that it fits on the screen. Aside from that, it works great and saves and opens files like you would espect. One thing I haven't figured out is document signing. localsend: Works great but you cant pick the "file" option to select a specific file in the gui as your app would breeze. Putting the file you want to send inside a folder makes it so you can send it by selecting the "folder" option. steam: won't install (had to try!). retroarch: can't navigate UI without a keyboard or a controller. formatfactory: works great and is very helpful, it lets you convert file types. Keep in mind almost every snap app will have a GUI not designed for touchscreens however, so they are most useful when docked. Running 24.04-1.3 stable on a FP5 Oh, I tried firefox again. It still displays a blank window.

Dank @Sander! Radio NL en Radio BE zojuist geinstalleerd. Als je van klassieke muziek houdt is het Belgische Klara een aanrader.

@nbdynl Thank you again for your replies. You are right, the app actually works great.
