<![CDATA[Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5]]>We've just released the RC image for the Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5, which should have version 2024-W30 or newer. Please take some time to switch your spare/development phone to the 20.04 RC channel and test this OTA.

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 is a maintenance release with only a minimal number of changes. That said, we still have a number of changes in this OTA. Please have a look if:

  • The battery life, compared to the previous OTA, doesn't not get worse.
  • There's no settings being overwritten (you don't have to be exhaustive. Just report if you remembered a setting being different before receiving this update).
  • Morph Browser works as well as it was in the previous OTA (please don't report known website incompatibilities).

Please note that only critical and security fixes will be able to enter Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 as this point. Normal bug fixes and new features will need to wait for our next release. Please do not discuss normal bug fixes and new features here.

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 is expected to be released on 29 July 2024. We appreciate all testing we will receive.

Any bugs found on OTA-5 going forward should ideally be reported on GitLab. If you would like community input on your particular issue please open a dedicated thread for that.

For bug report and update, it's best to go to gitlab directly.
This post was created to accelerate things during the RC phase.

Now that OTA5 is out in stable it won't be fixed until the next OTA.

here are my first experiences with OTA-5 stable on my volla X23 cell phone:

New Problems:

  • "crazy volla" now every day (before twice a week)
    "crazy volla" means: several programs start on their own, sometimes the configurations are also changed.

  • recording videos often causes the program to hang.( before no problems)

still open:

  • gps metadata in photos incorrect

-after reboot LTE only possible after airplane mode.

  • bluetooth problems

  • change volume when making calls does not work. and handsfree is too quiet.

  • Birthdays multiple times in calendar and not removable.

Should I switch to RC or Devel to get the latest updates?
Indeed, I did not see any information that this device is "more or less" discontinued, as I just bought it 3 months ago to replace my Nexus 5...

It works pretty well on OTA-4 stable, except the vibrator that a fix has already been pushed to devel. That's the reason I was delighted to get stable OTA-5 as well.

What I said above pertains only to the Redmi Note 9 (merlin), not the others.

Sorry for the noise.

This is the first time I see that information. And I must say joyeuse is one of the best ports out there and is not lacking basically anything.

Contrary to what you say, any idea why OTA-5 has been released for it though?
https://system-image.ubports.com/20.04/arm64/android9plus/stable/miatoll

To verify the image from yesterday is indeed OTA-5 I just switched to that channel:
sudo system-image-cli -vvvv -p 0 --switch 20.04/arm64/android9plus/stable

EDIT: The above information is incorrect for any Note 9 that is not merlin. Only merlin is still on devel channel only.

Just a question:

I don't see any devices from the Redmi Notes series (9S, 9 Pro, etc.) on the list of smartphones that will receive OTA-5.

https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-5-focal-release-3933

However, these devices still receive UT updates on the Devel channel.
Would it be possible to add them?

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Maybe check again in 24hrs or check the OS stable version against the one mentioned in the release/testing blog.
