        I did the upgrade. It went rather smoothly following the instructions.
        Most things seem to still be working with the following exceptions [I'll add to the list as I find issues];

        • sometimes the keyboard for the login password prompt jumps up and down very rapidly. I need to force reboot the phone and then it seems to be OK.
        • Many apps no longer start.

          @RJDan This topic is for testing 20.04 OTA 10. Sounds like you've upgraded to 24.04. There's a separate topic for 24.04.

          I think apps not opening makes sense. Not all will work out of box on 24.04, and will require action by the app developer.
          If you've gone to 24.04 without intending to, maybe wait for somebody more knowledgeable than me to suggest how to go back. I thiiink you should just be able to flash 20.04 Stable / RC without erasing data and that should be fine? But I'm not sure.

            It should be yes. At least I have been going back and forth for a while in that way.

            It is not supported, not guaranteed to work. But in my experience, at least at this stage, it does work.

                Update 7 August 2025: we have discovered a an issue with video recording on Volla Phone X23 and broken camera and audio support on some Volla Phone Quintus. This requires us to delay Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10. The team at Volla are working to fix the issues; we'll provide the new RC once these issues are fixed.

                    Thank you @peat_psuwit for all this information.

                    So, how will the update be rolled out to users on the stable channel? (OTA-9). Will they first receive the update to 20.04 OTA-10, then immediately afterwards the update to 24.04-1.0? Or will they have the choice between the 20.04 OTA update and the 24.04-1.0 update?
                    I must admit that I myself am a bit lost in all this πŸ˜‰

                    Anyway, thanks for all this hard job, I guess a stressful time for all of your team!

                      20.04 OTA-9 users will first receive 20.04 OTA-10 as an usual update. After that, they'll be offered an upgrade to 24.04-1.0. Users can choose whether to upgrade or not.

                      I'll try to make this more clear in our release announcement blog.

                          @peat_psuwit First of all, Thanks for your effort and your work.
                          I have a Volla X with UT 20.04 OTA-10 RC2. I want to upgrade to 24.04 but the options offered by the different channels are all from 20.04. And the names of the updates you download (UT version 25 in RC and version 10 in stable) are incomprehensible to me... How do I update?

                            Then you're in the wrong topic. This one is about 20.04 OTA-10.

                            Anyway, I would recommend waiting until 24.04 is out to update. It will be announced on the forums when it is.

                              @bestenaizena Yes, while the option to upgrade to 24.04 was talked about as a major aspect of 20.04 OTA 10, 24.04 isn't released quite yet.
                              From what I understand, now that you have OTA-10 the option will appear to upgrade to 24.04 once it's released.
