Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9

peat_psuwit

@wally Thank you for your report.

@wally said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9:

The Notification LED is not working. While I don't use this phone frequently, it definitely worked in the past. Seems to have stopped working as of this update.

The notification LED on Oneplus 5 is known to be randomly not working (depending on a race condition on boot). The fix will be implemented in a future update. In the meantime, please try rebooting the device and see if it solves the issue.

@wally said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9:

The only other thing that I've noticed is that if I click to add an image to an SMS message, select Camera, and take a new photo, after taking the photo, in the screen where you can click to retake photo, accept photo, or cancel, the photo shows up as a solid light grey, with only a column on the far right side of the photo visible. But when sent, it sends as normal. This is a new behaviour as of this update.

This is an issue with a newly-released Camera app relating to a new on-by-default metadata privacy feature. As a workaround, you can swipe from bottom, press the mask icon, and select "Save device info". The issue will be fixed in the next release of Camera app on Open-Store.

@peat_psuwit
I have a Volla Phone 22. It had been on RC-channel.
It is now on UbuntunTouch 20.04 (2025-W22).

Waydroid was working before (previous version on RC-channel from the weeks before.
I did not reinstall the waydroid helper, as it seems to be the latest version.
I ran the Waydriod helper, selected deinstalling waydroid without wiping app data.
Then I used waydroid help to download the latest version of waydroid with GAPPS (as I had in my previous waydroid installed),

After download, I see the waydroid helper Icon and the waydrod stop (without the icon) in the app list. I do not see anything to start waydroid. Also after repeating the installation of waydroid it is the same and also after phone restart it did not change.

@mjosenhans I would not say its caused by any new changes, i dont have waydroid stop icon since instalation of my device, that is at least one year now

@uxes
Did you used waydroid helper to add it?

@Vlad-Nirky I did, but that is offtopic

@mjosenhans We're unable to reproduce this issue. Please run the following commands on a computer, which will collect logs from device for debugging.

adb shell journalctl --user-unit=lomiri-app-launch--application-click--waydroidhelper.aaronhafer_waydroidhelper_3.2.0--.service >waydroid-helper.log
adb pull /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/Waydroid.desktop
tar -cv --xz -f waydroid-logs.tar.tz waydroid-helper.log Waydroid.desktop
rm -v waydroid-helper.log Waydroid.desktop

You may need to enable USB debugging first. After running commands, please attach file waydroid-logs.tar.xz.

I tested version 2025-W22 on my Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC (surya), and here are my observations:

The notification LED works normally
Emojis display correctly.
Waydroid functions without issues. So far, I haven't noticed any regressions.

Regarding VoLTE:

With VoLTE disabled:
Basic functionalities (calls, SMS, MMS, and cellular data) work perfectly.
With VoLTE enabled:
Basic functionalities (calls, SMS, MMS, and cellular data) also work.
However, when the phone exits airplane mode, it often struggles to reconnect to VoLTE.

Other users have reported issues related to VoLTE that I couldn't reproduce, but I mention them here in case they might be useful:

Inability to send SMS when VoLTE is enabled (https://forums.ubports.com/post/85788).
Inability to download messages with Teleports when VoLTE is enabled (https://t.me/ut_pocox3/18228).
Difficulty hanging up after a call when VoLTE is enabled (https://t.me/ut_pocox3/18506).This happened to me once and seems to occur randomly.
