@jukebox3711 That took a long time! I guess it's a busy time for the mail. But it finally reached you, I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for the good news!

Very nice! I don't use these platforms but it's a very positive gesture. I hope someone wins it who really appreciates it.

@adorsaz There are a few complications when changing the push protocol. For the moment we already working on a unified push => ubuntu push bridge, and so you might want to join this Telegram group: https://t.me/+7zQzeeDVa38yZTIx We can discuss the things there in better detail BR Florian

@Shapa Thank you! I hope the porter or maintainer will make it official/supported. Would be cool to have it in the installer!

Ok I wil try it. Thanks!

@TotalSonic it seems there is at least a bug to fix before implementation of a setting: https://salsa.debian.org/ubports-team/lomiri/-/issues/54 With help of bounties it could occur sooner than later: https://os-sci.com/lomiri#Contribute

@Ida_ This means that I need to downgrade to Android 13, if I previously had a higher Android version installed, right?

The others phones that I know of: Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro - sounds like VoLTE is working for people, but band compatibility may not be perfect. Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC - "" Various Volla - "" I've heard of people in USA using all three of these, but you really need to do your research and check with mobile providers. Brax 3 has a UT port that's coming along. Applee has been in touch with them. It seems too early to say though, which is too bad, because they have a December shipment coming along. Similarly Furiphone talked in the past of a UT port, but I haven't heard anything about it in a while. Both of those are explicitly made to work well in USA (among others). Also Fairphone 4 is supposed to have working VoLTE now? There was an ebay seller in USA who was selling Fairphone 4 new. NeverMSRP I believe. Ruben continues to work on VoLTE on the Oneplus Nord N10. Crossing fingers on that. Some people already have good results, but he's clear that it's still wonky so far.

@freddo I see that files on system-image.ubports.com are stored with digital signatures, so, the situation is better here, but still requires implementing mechanism of choosing mirrors in installer software. I'll take a look at that soon. Thanks

@MarcelloTogg I have two Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro M2003J6B2G (global). I use them in Belgium. Very pleasant phones to use with UT. All is working very well.

I have sent a private message to @applee with the outcome of the voting for the Community Favourite Awards. Please read it at the QA tonight!

@qrvhh Have you tried reloading the page after signing in? I don't think we really do have proper handling of login popup windows.

@Lakotaubp Yeah, I think we should add a category for the strangest bug found.

To enter Fastboot, one has to pus Volume UP and hold it, then power on the device while pressing volume up until the bootmenu appears. UBports is buggy at this step IMO, but once you enter fastboot manually the flashing begins. Only after the tablet is in fastboot does UBports tell you how to activate it. So for anyone reading this in the future, download UBports, enable Developer mode on the tablet (Ubuntu Touch doesn't have OEM locking), connect, then when the tablet shuts down, boot into fastboot and it should continue.

@RoobunOne Well, you'd have to make a port. To see if you are up for that, start reading here: Porting Guide

I've updated the "Mount_WaydroidHome.sh" script, so the WaydroidHome folder is writable from Ubuntu Touch (without using sudo): #!/bin/bash ## Set-up commands #mkdir ~/WaydroidHome #chmod 755 ~/WaydroidHome #sudo chmod 777 ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0 ## Bind mount Waydroid's home folder if it's not already mounted, and then ensure it (and all sub-folders) stay read/write-able by the Ubuntu Touch user set -e /usr/bin/findmnt -rno SOURCE,TARGET /home/phablet/WaydroidHome >/dev/null || /usr/bin/mount --bind /home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0 /home/phablet/WaydroidHome while /usr/bin/true; do /usr/bin/sleep 5 if [[ ! "$(/usr/bin/stat -c "%a" /home/phablet/WaydroidHome)" == *7 ]]; then /usr/bin/find /home/phablet/WaydroidHome -type d ! -perm -o+rwx -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 -I {} /usr/bin/chmod o+rwx '{}' fi done WARNING: The above scripts work for me, but I haven't tested it thoroughly, or even for that long, and it may contain security flaws. It is (as I said before) just a 'quick hack'. In the spirit of open source, I hope other people will provide improvements to it.

@enki Bug in the Bluetooth? That type of issue does happen intermittently. Try disabling bluetooth then rebooting, on reboot wait for the phone to settle for a few minute before enabling bluetooth and trying again. https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/reference-device-ports/android11/fairphone-5/fairphone-fp5/-/issues/14

Haven't really tested charge speed, but 5G and WiFi hotspot work perfectly fine for me on the Quintus. Hotspot had a bug in 24.04-1.0, which was fixed in 24.04-1.1.
