Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-6

peat_psuwit · 8 Oct 2024, 08:29

We've just released the RC image for the Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-6, which should have version 2024-W41 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-6 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 special look if:

Basic phone functionality (call, SMS, MMS and cellular data) works.
Vibration works.
If used to work on your device, whether Wireless display works.

Known issue:

It's a long-standing issue that, with some carrier, you cannot send an MMS while connected to Wi-Fi. This is due to how MMS works in Ubuntu Touch. See this issue for more information.

Please note that only critical and security fixes will be able to enter Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-6 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-6 is expected to be released on ~~18 October 2024~~ 8 November 2024. We appreciate all testing we will receive.

@peat_psuwit Have any changes been made to the camera app? I get so sick of my camera crashing once per day.

@alagirialagiri I have condensed your posts into one. If you have any more results to add, please add them to your original post.

@alagirialagiri

I also experienced Teleports hanging after switching to RC. But after a reboot (needed after re-enabling snap support) Teleports started up and prompted me to log in to Telegram.

SMS, both sending and receiving, also works. I don't use MMS, so I haven't tested that. Does MMS work for you on stable?

@Moem Don't think there is any update in this OTA but the camera app is getting a rewrite from what I hear.

SMS/MMS issue is confirmed on P3a* , Alfred fixed that just today, will be on next RC, and tomorrow in devel.
Fortunately, SMS/MMS messages not received aren't lost; they are just held on the provider's servers.

@lduboeuf

No since OTA-5

domubpkm · 9 Oct 2024, 10:54

Just to understand: maintenance of what? What should be improved and noted? What is the purpose of this update if it is the short-term end of focal?

@arubislander sms works in &out ,both in stable and devel channels.But mms does not work in both stable and devel .So far I have not also used mms even in android phones.i suspect that whether I know how to send MMS or not.now i tested by attaching a photo from gallery.If Iam wrong ,please correct me .Thanking you.
my devices are 1.Xiaomi Redmi note 9(merlin) .2.google pixel 3aXL(bonito),and 3.Xiaomi poco X3.(karna).
Of the three pixel3aXL( bonito) seems to be convenient...

alagirialagiri · 10 Oct 2024, 01:54

@lduboeuf Now sms works in out in pixel3aXL,but mms is not working.will it be fixed in next rc or ota6.VoLTE slider is there will it enabled also.thanking you.

messayisto · 10 Oct 2024, 06:32

@peat_psuwit Device is Oneplus 5. After loosing network (for example in tunnels or so) it comes back much slower than in ota 5. Sometimes I have to switch on and off flightmode to get it back. Maybe.some kind of regression?

domubpkm · 10 Oct 2024, 06:43

@messayisto Know this behavior with the Volla 22 and OTA-5: 4g does not come back automatically and I am often forced to do what you describe. Also after a restart of the Volla 22.

If MMS was not working for you on current OTA, no change is expected in that field on OTA-6.
This is likely more a setup or provider issue, you may find other related topic in the forum about that.
We are tracking here if any regressions only.
