Pixel 3a/3aXL and Noble (24.04) Experiences

Thanks for this info! I haven't been able to test that, so thanks for sharing!

From the QA call, he said we would need to finish the port to get VoLTE running and that he would not be involved in this as his phone could not be used. I'm not sure if he is still working on and supporting the non-VoLTE ports or not. However, I can confrim that for the VoLTE "branch", he is not involved. I'm not sure what any of his future plans are for the Pixel 3a. However, I can say the work he has done is very valuable, and we are very appreciative of his work.

The current 24.04-1.x/stable doesn't install properly on my 3axl using UBports Installer 0.11.2. it doesn't result in a valid recovery installed on the device. On the reboot to recovery step, I volume-down until it selects recovery mode, then hit the power button. It sits at the Google logo for a while, then reboots and enters the bootloader again with the reason "No valid slot to boot". Trying to get it to enter recovery again results in it entering the bootloader with the reason "error booting boot.img".
Installing 20.04 then OTA upgrading to 24.04 works fine.
The current 24.04-1x/daily DOES install correctly through the ubports-installer however.While it's fixed on daily, I mention it because it tripped me up a few times on a few reinstalls. I'm hoping daily gets into stable soon!

Thanks for the information! We will look at that when the VoLTE port is finished. The current 24.04 port and the VoLTE port have different Halium backends. This may make a difference on what issues are present, etc.

I can confirm the problem with installation via USB.
I wrote a post here: -
Thanks for the specific post and the confirmation! I'm hoping a resolution can be found soon!

Just another observation:
The Dekko icon mail-counter in Lomiri starter panel does not reset to zero when all mails are read. It just continues adding all mails per day.
However, it can be reset when restarting Lomiri greeter service. -
@uwahl Yes, I can also confirm that.

on daily channel, with version 299 update, camera is now working mostly as expected in the sense that it doesn't freeze after taking the dirt picture anymore/show a black screen.
edit: hit or miss, though I was able to take 6 pictures in a row with no issue compared to before.
i have noticed that when you open the camera, it does not autofocus properly, i think this is a bug. camera refocuses after tapping on screen to focus on selected area otherwise.

I missed an update yesterday, but I just updated to daily update 301. Tested the camera and surprisingly it worked every single time I used it, even flipping back from the rear camera back to the front camera. Played with some settings, changed some resolutions etc, took many photos, and the app still worked the entire time even after closing and reopening. Bravo to devs!
Now, if only there was a solid native email application that worked, I would daily drive my pixel 3a XL. So close!
Scrolling improved on daily update 299, I noticed it's not nearly as janky as it was. It's certainly much better, but not quite there yet. Patience!
So far I am pretty impressed with Ubuntu touch, especially on this device. It's very smooth. Thank you to everybody who works on this project.
