@mv it might be easier to reinstall with wipe. just back up your stuff and start again then everything is clean or try instructions above. I would recommend reinstall with wipe.

@lakotaubp Done. It seems now works all. I still have a problem with Telegram. I'm not able to finish the procedure: code received, typed inside but allways the 2 minutes timer arrives to the end. Tried to request the call but nothing. Strange...

@mv keep in mind Telegram re-registration can be a PITA in any device running whatever OS.

Lakotaubp · 21 Jun 2018, 17:46

@mv try the uninstall reinstall trick see if that helps, just telegram I mean

A Former User · 21 Jun 2018, 18:00

@mv Forget Telegram and upgrade to Matrix!

advocatux · 21 Jun 2018, 18:08

@3arn0wl Fluffychat is starting to look really really good

Lakotaubp · 21 Jun 2018, 18:13

@3arn0wl Pushing the fluffymatrix already are we. How are your notifications. Still not getting them.

advocatux · 21 Jun 2018, 18:16

@lakotaubp do you have your Ubuntu One account enabled?

Lakotaubp · 21 Jun 2018, 18:42

@advocatux yes. They stopped yesterday at some point started again for 10mins in the evening and stopped again. Will logout and in again anyway though.

@lakotaubp & @advocatux I confess: I'm a convert!

Telegram never treated me right, but I've had very little trouble with Matrix.
No faffing around of a morning with SMS messages and codes you've got to punch in quickly.
No need to pass over phone numbers or email addresses to set up an account
(& no proprietary bits either )

I'll pimp Matrix all the way.

@advocatux something at Riots end according to Krille

My Xylophone (notification sound) appears to be playing it's "part" in some symphony this evening, @lakotaubp. Unfortunately, I'm not hearing the rest of the ensemble, so I've no idea what they're performing. Must be exciting though!

advocatux · 21 Jun 2018, 21:07

@lakotaubp yep, I read it on matrix channel

MV · 22 Jun 2018, 06:51

@lakotaubp Tried but no solution. It seems that Telgram is not able to finish the registration procedure/communication. And also Calendar crush. I can see the 'agenda throuh System but if select one items Calendar starts and after 2/3 second crush.
GPS, uNav and browser work quite well.

Lakotaubp · 22 Jun 2018, 06:58

@mv Calendar and clock both crash at the moment. As for telegram if you have another phone set up telegram on that with the sim from your Ubuntu phone. Leave the sim inthat phone. Then set up telegram on ubports entreat the same phone number. The code goes to the other phone you enter it in UBports and that should do it. Then put your sim back. Complicated but it works.

@advocatux said in Update 16.04 on BQ E5 HD:

PITA Thanks, good to know

MV · 22 Jun 2018, 08:28

@lakotaubp Thanks, I'll try

@mv Hi.
For me, BQ AQUARIS E5 HD is a very good phone and very STABLE with 15.04 Ubuntu Touch Ubports OTA 3 Vivid : everything goes virtually good except little bugs.

So, as you have flashed your phone with 16.04 UT, can you say what's going well and what's going wrong presently in daily usage ?

Especially, are WIFI and HOTSPOT work smoothly on this now Xenial phone or no ?
I'm a user and i wants to have a viewpoint before flashing 16.04 my BQ E5 HD, now or much later.

Thanks very much.
