What is the general state of emergency alert messages in UT? It seemes available in the UI, but can users expect it to work in an actual emergency?
Could this be added to the device pages as one of the items in the check list, if it is expected to work?

Hi all,
Now that VoLTE work is well underway, are there any plans to work on VoWiFi? I assume the IMS service base is similar?
Thank you so much, and congrats for all your work!Stanwood

Hello @captainfunk , maybe I misunderstand your question about the rotation, but you can already rotate the screen vertically and horizontally. To lock or unlock the automatic rotation:
a) Open the settings app and you will see the option to turn it on or off
or
b) Swipe down from the top of your screen and go to the second last option on the left -

thanks but I know that, i think you misunderstood my question. If you consider that the normal position of the screen is 0 degree (with the bottom of the screen being the usb charging port) then the actual possible rotations are 90 and 270 degrees but you can't do 180 degrees, I don't know how to explain it better

@captainfunk You mean if you rotate so that the usb port becomes the "top" of the phone the screen does not rotate with it. Which it does not even on an android phone I have.
As to why, no idea : ) -

As to why, no idea : )In Xenial they implemented it and it works. I don't remember in which OTA it started working.

@Lakotaubp yes that's it, it's possible on waydroid but not on UT. I like that in waydroid because I have a Pixel 3a XL and the audio jack is not on the on the same side as the usb port so it's very useful when listening to music or watching a video, but when I go back to UT everything is upside down... I wasn't aware of that problem when I chose the Pixel ^^

@captainfunk Oh, ok, I understand.

Are you thinking or planning to implement the screen rotation to 180 degrees ?
It depends on if the porter enabled it. The configuration file is located on
/etc/deviceinfo/devices/<codename>.yaml
. Taking the Volla X23 configuration file as a random example:SupportedOrientations: - Portrait - Landscape - InvertedLandscape
As you can see, there is no "InvertedPortrait" mode enabled. I don't know adding it below will work.
Edit: (sorry, just noticed the Q&A was 3 days ago...)
