yes it worked on focal wih wifi on.
unsure, but it could be related to MessageProxy / Proxy set or unset.

Ok, we just have to disable wifi when sending MMS, not a problem.

As we do not anticipate when MMS will arrive, will we have to disable wifi all the time to be able to receive them ?

Don't worry, we will remove that popup for now.
You are just the first person that i know that reports that MMS is working when wifi is On, so i was sure that for everyone Wifi Off + Data On was required, and several users were confused about not being able to receive/send MMS while wifi is On.

interesting, this is the first time i've heard that MMS works through Wiifi...
So with all feedbacks here, i think we have to revert the mms popup feature for now...
EDIT: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-messaging-app/-/merge_requests/369

The situation with MMS and Wi-Fi is that sending MMS with Wi-Fi on will work, if the carrier specify MessageProxy in terms of IP addresses, which is the case for @Eric-H and also for the carrier I'm using (the carrier may also specify it in terms of domain name, or may not specify it at all and use MessageCenter alone). In that case, oFono is able to set the routing table so that MMS traffic goes through cellular network, which allow it to work despite Wi-Fi being on.

For all nitty-gritty details, see https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/ofono-sailfish/-/issues/13

(That said, the problem with Lomiri.Connectivity reporting inaccurate info will have to be investigated as well...)

My understanding is that Ubuntu Touch now have a facility to retry retrieving MMS if downloading fails. So, in that case, you should get a notification, after which you can disable Wi-Fi and retry retrieving MMS (@lduboeuf please correct me on this if I'm wrong).

I followed the above procedure to update my Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC (surya) to UT 24.04-1.0 Beta 2.

This worked well except a UI issue: I had to uninstall two applications because instead of seeing the screen offering the system upgrade, I saw a screen proposing the update of Dev Tools and Pure Maps Slim

You should not have to uninstall applications; once all applications are updated, you should be offered release upgrade. This is intentional, as many times application and system updates can solve compatibility issues with the new release before the new release is being upgraded to.

Anyone tried if Bluetooth media buttons work now? Those for changing the volume, changing the music track and accepting calls.

Thank you for the report. I can reproduce this issue and will look into it.

OK. I will test and report.

Got it.
I forgot to mention it, but first I tried to update these applications.
But, I don't know why, it failed, and the only solution I then found was to uninstall them.

The brightness is wrong before i log in. I tested this with two fairphone 4, one noble and one focal with brightness set on lowest. After i log in i get the correct brightness

In the latest build 24.04-2.x,
I noticed that when typing a sentence using the OSK, when you select a suggested word, it does not automatically add a space between the selected word and the rest of the text.
And the automatic brightness adjustment no longer works.

(Note that this thread is for 24.04-1.0 testing. 24.04-2.x is in early development and is not necessarily ready for testing.)

I noticed that when typing a sentence using the OSK, when you select a suggested word, it does not automatically add a space between the selected word and the rest of the text.

For the OSK issue, this seems to a side effect of us disabling Auto correction by default. If I enable "Auto correction" in 24.04-1.0, then selecting word suggestion adds a space. And if I disable "Auto correction" in 20.04, then the space isn't added either.

So for now you can enable "Auto correction" back on as a workaround. We'll probably fix this issue in a point release of 24.04-1.x series.

And the automatic brightness adjustment no longer works.

Sadly this one I cannot reproduce. I'm afraid you'll have to ask the port's maintainer for help on this one...

@peat_psuwit
My mistake, I thought that 24.04-2.x was the continuation.
OK, I installed 24.04-1.0 Beta 2.
The problem with the space bar without autocorrect persists (and is fixed by enabling autocorrect).
However, the automatic brightness adjustment works fine.
Thank you for your patience.

Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 1 is available for testing.

Notable changes

The dialog warning users to disable Wi-Fi before sending MMS has been removed due to false positives.
You can now disconnect from wireless display from the virtual touchpad on the phone's screen.

(picture of the feature)

Media playback control is fixed in the top-panel indicator, in applications, and over Bluetooth headset.
Bug fixes and stability improvements across the system.

Known issues

It's a long-standing issue that fingerprint sensor on Fairphone 5 does not always work. It's unclear when this might happen. This might manifest itself as keyboard for the login password prompt jumps up and down very rapidly; this is due to Lomiri repeatedly getting error from fingerprint sensor.
You may still see a placeholder text as part of first boot's "What's new" page. We'll provide another update to fix the issue. (ubuntu-touch-meta#3)

If you're already running Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 2, you'll be offered Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 1 automatically. Otherwise, follow the same instructions as outlined above.

@peat_psuwit regarding FP5 and fingerprint:

For me fingerprint works in general.
I thought that maybe related to allowing fingerprint on first android boot (but not setting it up).

But I got that jumping password prompt sometimes when I need to input password for decrypting the encrypted home-directory after rebooting Ubuntu Touch.
A second reboot is fixing it most of the time.
After that, fingerprint works to unlock.

Just for reference.

Thanks so much for fixing this. My number one issue with UT was that I can't change music tracks over bluetooth. I hope it really works with my old car stereo now 🤩
