Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 is released. Thank you everyone involved in the testing. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-9-focal-release-3962

@ChromiumOS-Guy Thank you to you and @Fuseteam . It is good to realize in a concrete way all the investment time that this requires voluntarily to obtain an app which will make great service to all. It takes a lot of skills of course, but also above all a lot of passion for that. And this comment is of course valid for all developers who spend number hours to develop apps for UT.

@ChromiumOS-Guy thanks again, i'll take a look and test it out further

@Keneda This was to inform about this porting. Thanks for the move.

@Moem very cool! I'm not able to make it unfortunately. But definitely a very interesting event that I would like to visit next time.

@Vlad-Nirky Yes we do! It's June 6 and 7.

@wynn1212 You're the best . TBH i was hoping you would do it, because you faced the same problem. Maybe there will be a real solution soon .

My experience with Fairphone 5: Bluetooth: Working in my car for receiving and sending calls. Works also connected to a Pebble watch. GPS: Works for me, it takes 10 to 20 minutes to get a fix, in the open air or at the balcony of my place (1st floor of a building 9 floors high). Sometimes it takes longer, if I don't see a fix in 20 minutes I restart the phone. IDLE: Using the current development image the battery lasts for the whole day, unless using Waydroid for too long. I haven't seen the background apps draining battery so far. NFC I use it with Waydroid in the transport system of my city, no issues. Calls: No issues, 5G or Volte are working. SMS/MMS: SMS fine, I don't use MMS. Waydroid: Very fluid, but it hangs often when put in the background. Not a big deal because it starts in seconds. Connection to PC: No issues to mount the device in Linux, or connect with adb. Wifi/network: Disconnects if moving between WIFI antenna, but otherwise no issues.

Edit: Turns out something was cached wrong on my machine, I think. Anyway: all is well, and the buttons work no problem

Subject: Question: Porting Python SDL Game to Ubuntu Touch Message: Hello from France , I'm the developer of Night Invasion, a real-time multiplayer game fully written in Python. It uses Pygame (SDL under the hood) and standard libraries for networking and audio. I would like to know if it is technically feasible to port this game to Ubuntu Touch, given that: It is 100% Python (Python 3.12), It relies on pygame, pygame.mixer, and SDL for rendering/audio, It does not use any C/C++ extensions beyond SDL dependencies. Are there any compatibility issues or restrictions I should be aware of on Ubuntu Touch regarding SDL/Pygame or Python-based applications? Thank you in advance and best wishes to the community! PS it's a closed sources game because my team dont want open source Best regards, Yann Escarbassière

I wonder if could be related to a faulty charging port or cable? I was having connectivity issues with my OP5t, and it seemed like sometimes it was sometimes charging at a lower rate, despite using the Dash charger adapter or whatever. But then it became hard to charge at all, and eventually I had to replace the port (which thankfully wasn't too hard). Anyway, just a thought. Maybe try another cable for starters?

@lduboeuf nice, didn't know about it yet, seems to work with this page (on a Pixel 3a) . I'd especially be interested in some features similar to "NoScript" in Firefox (blocking the dozens of other things loading)

@Ian I agree. 100 percent
