@mariogrip you shold put video decode in red since is not decoding videos.

Not sure where this should go, I have made some comments on the launchpad bugs pages.

Basically I think loads of the trouble I'm having with apps not starting, crashing or hanging after the initial loading screen is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubports-android/+bug/1625832, would make sense if the web apps use Browser as a base?

Not sure why uNav would hang but maybe what is crashing the Browser app is also causing calls to web services in other apps to silently fail?

Telegram 100% works, so not a connectivity issue.

I was never able to change the channel without re-flashing the device. Maybe someone have another solution.

Every new version brings a lot of new features and correct a lot of bugs. Try the rc-proposed channel is relatively stable.
Can't wait to have the 9th version.
Thank you again for the great job you're doing!
