Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-8

[domubpkm]

At this point, no regression observed on the Volla 22 although finding 4G seems quite long after a start-up of Volla 22 via the stages: no network, 2G, 3G, 4G. The succession of steps can take more than 30 seconds. Maybe normal ?

Hello friend, just to inform you that you reply got my attention. I have addressed before using Google Pixel 3a XL an issue of not possible to remove a picture to contact after setting it up.

As I understand that it is now possible to add and remove a picture from a contract easily !!!.

Thanks.

@stanwood
Yes, several times, i have tried too to restart the device.
And after sync, the event was deleted.
Now, every event is placed on my google calendar...

The calendar sync is not as stable as we would like. Sometimes no issues, and sometimes it get stuck for whatever reason, and we have to remove account, reboot, recreate one.
Hope that the upcoming contact sync framework will make it more robust.

I would like to help testing OTA-8 on my Volla X, but I don't dare: I'm on RC channel and the downloaded version (to be installed) is version 19.
Is version 19 the same as OTA-8?

[domubpkm]

@naizena RC V19 is currently the last OTA-8 test update for my Volla 22.

I'm really hoping that an APNDB update that appears to have been backported to Focal 20.04 will fix a long-standing issue I've been experiencing where after a few months, photo messaging just completely stops working.

I only have one single phone, wish I could actively contribute for RC but also, my issue usually manifests several months later and that isn't going to help an RC window that closes in 1 to 2 weeks anyways. I can't for now use my daily driver for testing.

Looking forward to more VoLTE supported phones!(FairPhone4 here) Thanks to all who have helped with this release.

Update 25 Feb 13:40 UTC: a new RC has been published which fixes mobile data issue on some Volla Phone X23 users depending on SIM slot being used.

Hello. Do you happen to know if your Volla Phone 22 runs Ubuntu Touch based on Halium 12 or not? If your Volla Phone 22 has a replacement screen, then it is running Ubuntu Touch based on Halium 12.

[domubpkm]

@peat_psuwit My Volla 22 runs with Halium 11, no replacement screen.

[domubpkm]

@peat_psuwit MMS no longer work on my Volla 22 with the last RC !! I no longer know with the previous one.

When I attach a photo of the gallery plus a text and I throw the sending, everything disappears for more than 8 seconds and after the photo and the text reappear but are not sent (wheel which turns endless).

SMS ok.

@Bolly Hello. What is your data provider ? For me, it is Bouygues. I want to be sure the problem doesn't come from this. I notice, when it switch back to stable (OTA-7), now i can't send and receive MMS too..

Edit : So, I went to a Bouygues store and the sending of MMS normally works with one of their line and an Android phone. The problem therefore does not seem to come from them. Reflasher the Volla 22 Ota-7 with the installer (without erasure of data) did not solve the problem. The APN is identical to that when the MMS operated @peat_psuwit

[peat_psuwit]

@domubpkm So MMS used to work before installing 20.04 OTA-8 RC, and then doesn't work any longer since then?

Could you please collect the log (after a send attempt has been made) using command:

sudo journalctl --boot >journalctl.log

and send it to me? The log will contain your IMSI (roughly your SIM identifier), so please provide it via forum chat or via Telegram (@peat_psuwit).

[domubpkm]

I consider that in my case, the problem of dysfunction of MMS is resolved in RC even if the cause is unknown.

[arubislander]

@domubpkm Are you saying that MMS now works for you on the latest RC?

[domubpkm]

@arubislander Yes

To simplify MY approach if it happened for someone :

• Update RC 20: MMS does not work.
• OTA-7 switch: MMS no longer works !!
• Switch again at RC-20: MMS works again.

Don't ask me to explain and why

And now, i stay on RC-20 waiting a full usable 24.04 !!

Hello @domubpkm , I'm sorry but the phone belongs to a relative and I can't test RC. Anyway in Spain we don't use MMS.
