@Abba Actually Miracast works quite well on the Pixel 3a now. But it is hit or miss if it will work with any particular Smart TV or dongle. If you are looking to buy a dongle, then as mentioned before the Microsoft one is the best bet. Otherwise Sony and Samsung smart TV's also seem to consistently work.

@MrT10001 yeah but having a desktop mode but cannot use mouse to the full sucks.

I had this behavior already in OTA-7. I don't remember, when this started, it wasn't always this way. I also can fix this only by booting while the charger is plugged in. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. Good to know, there's no issue with the battery.

Updated successfully. Thank you!

@MrT10001 said in TB-X306X bootloop when install attempts from installer: As per above, the installer gets to reboot to fastbootd and the tablet goes into a bootloop (TB-X306X 4Gb/64Gb). I can only power the tablet off after this or boot to EDL mode to recover back to Android. Is this an installer files issue? Any other ideas before I attempt a manual install? At a guess it is a possible vbmeta and disable-verity issue as that is the prior step before reboot to fastbootd. The tablet is on the latest Android 11 and it happens on Windows 11 and Ubuntu machines. I have the same problem with the same tablet. If I understand correctly, to unblock the situation, I have to switch my tablet into EDL mode as indicated here for example: https://droidwin.com/boot-android-edl-mode/ and install UT manually? (as here: https://gist.github.com/thekosmix/1a7fc2308e9c9ea78bb4ad24bc0cda1a) I would not make another mistake...

@stanwood ok thank you

Hi @WillemHexspoor Security is a matter of trust. You either trust Signal and the "experts" that audited them with your data or you don't. Same goes for Matrix. If you self host matrix, than you only have to trust the software. But if you don't you'll have to trust the hosting entity as well. With a bridge it adds another party, but if you already trusted it, it doesn't change anything. But of course the more code you add, the more probable there is an exploit possible. So your reasoning is not bad. But if you consider using a bridge, that's probably because your contacts are not already using matrix and are probably not interested (at least for some of them).

Screencasting and taking a screenshot of the desktop is a solution for scanning the QR code on the same device, if you don't have a spare phone.

@Vistaus I strongly agree with you dude, porting to a new models than Pixel 3a would be pretty amazing and more compelling with a better device's hardware.

@arubislander More clear it seems, not perfect. Or easer to listen. I'm not completly sure. I edited the first comment.

Hi, Illustration of Volla Tablet model was adapted to match the original design with the "AI camera" on the back [image: 1743964746279-vollatablet.png] PS: As always feel free to use the files for marketing purpose or "spread the word" posts or videos... [gitlab project link is on first post]

@Rondarius Thank you for testing! I would like to do the same but my camera has crashed so I'll need 2 restarts.

I had the same issue. The solution was simple. When i received the phone there was Android 13 on it. I had to downgrade to Android 11. Do this (yes all data will be lost) https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/18896094650513-Install-Fairphone-OS-manually an then ubports installer again with ubuntu touch Then mobile data works fine

The Mir team, including me, have been helping with some issues updating desktop Lomiri to the latest Mir (2.20). While that has gone well, it is just a part of modernising the Lomiri technology stack. How is that larger task going? What more is needed before we can install a complete Lomiri Desktop Environment based on Mir 2 from a distro repository (or ppa?) Follow up question: are there plans to update Ubuntu Touch too?
