@wolfgang1 Welcome! Glad it's suiting your needs! Just note that the Pixel 3a doesn't have VoLTE working (some people are trying, but it seems tough), so it (mostly) won't work for phone calls if you're back in the USA, where 3G is shut down. Some areas might have 2G.
3G will sunset here too. Rogers, already, Telus (+Koodo, Public Mobile) Dec 2025, Bell (+Virgin, Lucky) Dec, 2026. Not sure about Videotron/Freedom. -
@wally luckily I mostly call through whatsapp and discord which can use wifi. didn't realize 3G was going down in canada, and so soon no less. maybe ill get a burner phone number and use that for calls or get a phone that supports VoLTE if there are any that have succeeded

Hi, I'm AetheralMeowstic. I came here because Android's about to implode.

@AetheralMeowstic Welcome, I hope you'll find what you are looking for here!

@AetheralMeowstic Welcome!

@wolfgang1 If you're getting by fine for now, could make sense to wait and see how the dust settles on VoLTE rollout. And if McGill gives you any free time, you'll find folks on the Forum trying to make it work in Pixel 3a and you could be part of it. But yes, there's already great success with VoLTE on some devices.
Anyway, glad you found UT, and I hope you have a lot of fun in Montréal! I love that city. -
Greetings from Toronto, ON, Canada!
My name is Kai, and I am a German living and working in Toronto as software developer.
I came across Ubuntu Touch searching for alternative mobile operating systems. I got interested, but I do not own a supported device, so I am currently working on a new port.

If @k.nacke got banned because of his username: I think it was not supposed to be a stupid word play. When you search the web, it seems that there is actually a German living in Canada named "Kai Nacke" and he is also active on GitHub.

That user is not banned.

@Moem My user was actually banned. But looks like an admin un-banned it. And yeah, it's really my name.

Oh, sorry! I didn't know.

Greetings from The Netherlands,
My name is Jan and I like the idea to have fun with a Linux based mobile OS. Certainly with the current developments in the (tech) world. A couple of months ago I started actively to de-google. When I reduced the amount of apps the switch to another android 'taste' would be easier. I bought a Nothing CMF 1 and installed e/os. I host my own nextcloud instance, and this combination works like a charm. I already work with linux boxes for a long time. When I read more about UbuntuTouch and PostmarketOS, I liked the idea to buy an FairPhone4, and do the 'next step'
Cheers, Jan -
@MrRoughwood Greetings, Jan.
