Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5
-
@zubozrout That is better asked in the Waydroid section of the Forum or here https://t.me/waydroidonut as it is not strictly a UT issue and not an OTA issue. It also might be device specific.
JFI Waydroid is working for me on devel on a FP4 and my banking app has just updated and works though the other one will not and asks me to restore to my phone to the correct defaults. -
I am able to download OTA-5 RC at about 10.07 IST.2024-W30.Now working alright.
-
Everything works fine on the FP4 after switching to the RC channel. Only the 'Waydroid Stop' app icon has disappeared and cannot be restored even after uninstalling and reinstalling it. The app itself works and the icon labeling is also there.

I also have the waydroid stop icon/picture missing. It's weird that it only effects that app.

Does Waydroid work for people? It has been broken on devel since March, so seems like the issues has propagated here now as well. The app appears to be running (Waydroid logo is visible in the taskbar), however no Android window appears on the screen.
Thank you for raising this up. We've found the root cause of the issue and is working on a fix. The fix will appear in the next RC.

This is due to an internal change which require Waydroid Helper to follow. I'll file a bug against Waydroid Helper to request this change.

@peat_psuwit Thank you so much. You just made my day brighter, as it scared me a lot. As much as I don't want to use Android there are occasions in which I can't choose and using Waydroid inside Ubuntu Touch for that is simply perfect.
-
@peat_psuwit to let you kwow, I've just updated UBT to last devel (r275) and Waydroid to last image too but i'm not experiencing any issue on Joyeuse

Hello!
Missing option in SystemSettings\Gestures: double tap to wake the device up.
(Last rc update in Focal - Pixel 3a)
Thx -
@karibooooo OnePlus5T, option to tap to wake is there, but it doesn't work.
@peat_psuwit Battery drain is normal. OP6T battery dead today (~72% to dead, in two days, but my workroom is really warm which will affect battery drain). Will keep testing.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
I have too many devices... -

Hello,
I let myself go to the rc.
It says : « only critical and security fixes will be able to enter Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 ; Normal bug fixes and new features will need to wait for our next release »
A few months have passed since ota-4, but ..
Ok, since it's like that, … fixed bugs and new features will come in the next one.
So I hope that from ota-6 I will be able to hear the sound after a video recording with the camera.
I say this because I think it's normal for it to work perfectly on a smartphone, as this feature has been used on cell phones for 20 years. As a UT user since 2015, I would like this basic function to work normally again. I won't wait any longer for ota-7. I disobeyed but Thank you for your understanding. -

(Last rc update in Focal - Pixel 3a)This is not an OTA-4 regression. The feature was removed by the device porter, because having it enabled caused some Pixel 3a / XL devices to have a non-functioning touch screen.

@vince-vs New features go into the future release that will be based on Ubuntu 24.04. On a case by case basis it will be evaluated if these features should be back-ported to 20.04.
-
@arubislander thanks for the explanation.
(No bug, for me, with this minor but useful functionality. On Focal stable.) -
@karibooooo Sure, but once rc gets promoted to stable, the feature will be gone there as well.

Would this be related to this bug?
https://gitlab.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/-/issues/2022
If so, just reboot the device after making a phone call.
Not sure this will be fixed in next OTA.
Otherwise there's a script to fix this permanently.

Do you happen to remember if it has ever worked before? That said, the tap-to-wake system is pretty much device-specific. We have to rely on porters to look into it.

Ok, since it's like that, … fixed bugs and new features will come in the next one.First, we're sorry for the slow rate of bug fixes in the past few months. We're in the middle of bring our Ubuntu Touch stack to be based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, which turns out to take more time than anticipated.
That said, the sentence doesn't mean that non-critical fixes cannot be included in 20.04 OTA's. Rather, it simply means that we're in the freeze period at the moment. There will be at least 1 more 20.04 OTA in the future (to support the change of release system), so it's still possible to get bug fixes in there.

I have had a look at a OP5T on 20.04 OTA-4. Tap to wake is available and works without an issue.

Update: a new RC image has been published which should fix Waydroid issue for some users. The image should have version
2024-W30/2. Those with Waydroid issue, please take another look. -
Is GPS still working for Pixel 3a users?
Mine was working before the RC, now doesn't error, but also doesn't get a lock. Currently sitting unsuspend for two hours and no lock

I would like to help in the little I can, such as testing Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5 but I am afraid of damaging my phone because my technical knowledge is minimal. I use a Volla X 20.04 ota-4. I changed System Settings -> Updates -> Update Settings -> Release Channel and started downloading an image called Ubuntu touch version 13. I expected something like 2024-W30 and now I don't dare to install... Does anyone know how to help me? Thank you.
