    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.

    @mihael I had another try after uninstalling and reinstalling uAdBlockNG and creating symlinks like this: root@ubuntu-phablet:/etc# ls -l hosts* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Feb 26 16:49 hosts -> /home/phablet/Downloads/hosts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Feb 26 16:07 hosts.blocklist -> /home/phablet/Downloads/hosts.blocklist [...] and it worked out fine! I must have made a mistake before when creating the symlinks. Thanks for your help!

    @lduboeuf This has been my experience using a Oneplus N10. Since VoLTE landed, idle drain has seemed notably less pronounced. A very nice surprise, especially on a device with an aged battery.

    @tacetion so is it up and running with UT? A prototype is well worth keeping, collectors may seek something like that out..... It could also have had a screen replacement...

    @projectmoon said in Call for testing: calendar-app: @lduboeuf said in Call for testing: calendar-app: @projectmoon said in Call for testing: calendar-app: @lduboeuf So unfortunately, calendar sync is still broken. The calendar that was syncing (connection to Nextcloud via generic caldav instead of built-in Nextcloud integration) is no longer syncing. Only thing I see in Evolution logs is something about i_cal_time_compare < 0 failed. I turned the Nextcloud integration itself back on for Calendar, and that synced fine... But I don't know if it will sync more later. Sorry, i don't understand, you mean it works or not ? Please also precise on which OS version are you . The sync can be sometimes unstable ( and it always has been). It is sometimes needed to recreate all accounts ( remove them all, reboot, recreate them) Stable 1.2, and the accounts were previously already cleared and removed from Evolution. Re-re-(re?)-creating the accounts shouldn't be necessary, I would hope. What I mean is that the Generic CalDAV Account seemed to stop syncing. But when I re-enabled the Nextcloud Account, that synced fine. I have two Online Accounts set up on the phone. Both point to my Nextcloud instance. Just one is the "proper" Nextcloud Online Account and the other is Generic CalDAV. Yes, there are reports where sometimes it happens and we don't know what is happening. Only by removing the account, then rebooting, then re-creating it fixed the issue. The new backend is more stable regarding that, but not here yet.

    @PringleMingle If you loved your Op3, try finding a used Op5 or 5t! Very good device, and very close to what you are used to... except this one runs the latest version of Ubuntu Touch. And nowadays they can be had for a song.

    @Escain said in Any solution to get decent photos?: my picture with 12.6MP is usually between 2 and 3MB, but that could depends on the details on the image. I tried with a zoom and the image is indeed smaller at 2.8 Mb - as could be expected with a zoom done in software, there is less detail. I played a bit with the zoom (never used it before, for doing near distance photos I find much easier to actually get the phone nearer to the object) and it can indeed throw the focus off, but doing the video/still image switch fixed it. @Escain said in Any solution to get decent photos?: several hypothesis compression: my guess is not, 4.5 Mb for a jpeg image is not very aggressively compressed if at all. beautifying filter: there is nothing of the sort in the app code, as it is using QT controls it could be integrated in these controls, don't know. problems with zoom: this could be the more likely idea. Maybe you could give a try to the photo app in Waydroid. When faced with the focus problems, before finding the switch to video trick, I found that it focused properly immediately for near distance photos.
